LEGGE ADVISES
HOUSEWIVES
To BAKE
Can Cut Delivery Price Of
Loaf in That Way; Money
! Used to Buy Distribution

Chairman Legge of the Federal
Farm Board yesterday called upon
the nations housewives to bake
their own bread as a means OF
bringing down existing prices on
that commodity.
The price, Legge admitted, is
very high considering the amount
of wheat flour going into an aver.
age 10-cent loaf.
For all ingredients, as they ar.
rive in the bakers hands, he said.
the consumer pays 3.9 cents The
other 81 cents, he declared, goes
to pay for the elaborate system Of
marketing and distribution Which
makes it possible for the house.
wife to have the loaf delivered.
Facts Are Sought
If the housewife will bake her
own bread, Legge said, she can get
it at fair price. Cutting cut the
delivery costs, the profit to the
baker and advertising. he said,
she can get down to an efficient
production figure because flour
prices are constantly in close keep
ing with raw wheat prices.
There is no danger of an ex-
orbitant price on wheat flour. he
said, because the competition
among millers is too keen.
Meanwhile Rep. George 4ud-
dleston, of Birmingham, Alabama,
running for reelection, has called
upon four Government agencies
to furnish him with facts on
bread costs in a campaign to
cut down the retail price through
out the country.
Army Loaf Cheap
He asked the Attorney General
and the Federal Trade Commits
sion to investigate the general
baking industry for a possible
price-fixing agreement between
them.
Huddleston's figures indicate,
he declares, that the cost Of
producing bread is about three
cents or less for innocent loaf,
and he expressed the opinion that
the 200 per cent spread is ex-
orbitant.
The Labor Department has in
formed Huddleston that, accord
ing to its figures, the cost of
raw materials of a loaf of bread
In the Army Is 2.3 cent per loaf.

Rover Plans Prosecution of
Men Under Law Providing
Ten-Year Prison Penalty

The cases of three alleged racke-
teers who were arraigned yester-
day in police court under regu-
lation charging the spraying OF
poison over bottles of milk on de-
livery wagons will be placed be-
fore the Grand Jury Monday,
United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover announced today.
Mr.. Rover's action came as a
surprise, because yesterday he
told of the lack of suitable sta
tute under the penal code to fit
the offense
Three Men Named
The three men, Harry M. Roth
geb, recording secretary Of the
Milk Drivers and Dairy Employees
Local Union. No. 246; Richard
Conte, a taxicab driver, and Ell
mer C. Rayford. business agent OF
the taxicab drivers union, are
said to have sprayed poisonous
disinfectant over bottles of milk
in order to intimidate delivery
wagons drivers into joining the
union.
While there is a law in the
District code making it felony,
carrying 10 years imprisonment,
for mingling poison with food, it
must be shown in a prosecution
under that law that an intention
to commit murder prompted the
poisoning. Realizing the diff
Guilty of proving such an intent on
the part of the accused trio, Mr..
Rover at first declined to take
action in the matter.
The alleged racketeers then
were charged in police court with
a violation of the pharmacy law
which declares it a misdemeanor
to mix poison with food and car
ries a penalty of six months i'm
prisonment and fine Of 5000.
Finds New Law
Dissatisfied with the penalty
which might be imposed upon
the three men if they are con-
victed in Police Court, Mr.. Rover
made a search of the District
code and has decided to charge
the men before the Grand Jury
with an attempt maliciously to
destroy the property of another.
This carries a maximum penalty
Of 10 years imprisonment. The
minimum penalty is one year.
Mr.. Rover announced that he
will ask the court to set the case
for trial at an early date if an
indictment is voted.
