CONTROL STILL NECESSARY

Washington, Aug. 15.-Legislation
by congress to regulate distribution and
prices of coal during the winter was
declared Tuesday by Secretary Hoover
to be necessary even though operations
soon are to be started in the bituminous
and anthracite fields.
The suspension of work in the coal
fields. now in the twentieth week. has
so lowered coal stocks. Mr. Hoover
said that not even immediate and rea-
sonably full production will remove the
necessity of some measure of regula-
ton during the next six months, when
the country makes its greatest drain
on coal supplies.
The federal coal distribution CON-
mittee. the commerce secretary pointed
out, is functioning with voluntary
forces and as an emergency agency and
hence cannot continue to direct dis
tribution Indefinitely. Mr.. Hoover also
saw the need of imposition of some
statutory control of coal prices during
the winter or otherwise coal prices
might become unduly high.
