MARION LEE

All was peace and quiet in the
delicatessen at 908 New York
Ave. N. W., shortly before noon
today.
Matilda Haddad, the clerk
stood back of the counter putting
things in order.
Suddenly sirens shrieked and a
dozen policemen and detectives
rushed in, demanding:
"Where's the bandits?"
Miss Haddad almost had hys-
terics. She didn't know what it
was all about. Explanation en-
sued. Three colored men had
entered the place few minutes
before, and while one used the
telephone the other two began
talking to her.
A passerby looked in and
thought it was holdup. He
telephoned police. The colored
men had left before the police
arrived, and Miss Haddad in.
sisted they weren't bandits.

TRAFFIC NEEDS
UNDERPASS

Capt. H. C. Whitehurst, engi-
neer of District highways, today
recommended to Capt. Hugh
Dram, Assistant District Engineer
Commissioner, the advisability Of
constructing a pedestrian under
pass in the vicinity of Twenty
fourth Street Northeast, in con-
nection with the improvement OF
Benning Road from Fifteenth
and H Streets Northeast, to the
Lake Kingman culvert.
Captain Whitehurst pointed out
that today Benning Road is a
heavily-traveled thoroughfare, and
when improved with a double
roadway, it will become one OF
the heaviest-traveled thorough
fares in the District. The District
has also started development OF
large colored school and play,
ground area, it was also pointed
out, on Benning Road, near TWen
ty-fourth Street.
In view of the dangers that
would exist for pedestrians as a
result of the improved roadway
Captain Whitehurst said the un-
derpass was virtually necessary,
and that it could be constructed
at a cost of 100000 or less.

plea made by DR.. Porter Lee, aide
to Col. Arthur Woods, who is
head of the national committee
on unemployment, who said that
he is convinced that there will
be dire need of such an organi
zation next winter.
DR.. Lee stated that while there
doubtless will be an acceleratior
of industrial activity in the early
months of the year he could not
agree entirely with the optimistic
view expressed by Mr.. Delano.

committee. Chairman Delano sale
that the body was organized il
December and that the $17,14t
which had been collected through
subscription had been spent.

persons, he said. A census taker
shortly after the committee wa
organized indicated that 12,00I
persons in the District we're out o.
work. He pointed out that tn!
Federal and private projects to b.
launched soon will require th'
services of large numbers o.
workers in coming weeks.

FINDINGS TAKEN
AS BASIS FOR
NEW LAWS
No Evidence of CriminaIity
Uncovered in Cases of Firms
Merging; Prices at Variance

Members of the Capper food
price investigating committee to-
day are preparing the report they
will submit to the Senate and
which, it is expected, will explain
that while there is wide spread
between producer and consumer
prices, no evidence has been OBJ
tanned of a criminal manipulation
of food supplies or prices.
However, the committee, in its
report, is likely to deplOre the
growing tendency toward mergers
and consolidation of agencies deal
ing in food commodities.
Return Too Low
Another expected finding OF
the committee is that farmers
are not receiving high enough
prices for products, although this
lack of return is not reflected IN
prices paid by consumers.
The committee yesterday con-
cluded it's public hearings on the
investigation with an inquiry into
meat prices. Previously, the
group scanned bread, milk and
sugar conditions.
Due Next Thursday
Senator Arthur Capper (R0
of Kansas, chairman, and c. V,
Maudlin, investigator, are con-
ferring today on the report,
which they expected to have
ready for Consideration of the
group Thursday. The findings
will first go to the Agriculture
Committee of the Senate, of
which the investigating commit,
tee is a subcommittee.
Senator Capper throughout
the investigation has persistently
questioned witnesses in an eff
fort to ascertain if there were
any agreements affecting fOOG
prices.

DRIVERS URGED
|. To FIGHT BAN
ON CABS
Diamond Company Calls 1000
to Ask 10000 Patrons to
Shift to Other Merchants

A blacklist of merchants on F
and G Streets is to be started by
taxicab drivers, infuriated at the
action forbidding them from driv-
ing on those streets in the down.
town business district.
The blacklist was recommended
in a bulletin issued by the Dia-
mond Cab Company to its 1000
drivers. The bulletin charges that
many of the merchants have in
dorsed this ban and opposed the
parking of private vehicles.
10000 Daily Patrons
Pointing out that the merchants
are taking hundreds of thou
sands of dollars from you and
your relatives" the bulletin
charges that the merchants ARE
politely stabbing you in the back"
1t advises:
eff you know the above facts
are true, why patrOnize the F
and G Street merchants? Why
not suggest to your many
friends and relatives that there
are other merchants in this
city besides the F and G Street
merchants?
"Acquaint your 10000 daily
customers with the fact that
the municipal authorities and
the F and G Street merchants
are interfering illegally with
your right to earn living for
yourself and family"
Fear to Bar Parking
The ban was put into effect,
it is charged, because the au.
thoritieS "have never been able
to summon enough courage to go
through with a ban on parking
because of the stiff opposition
they would encounter nom the
marchants."
The bulletin states that since
1926 the Diamond company has
spent $4,360,000 in Washington
for machines, equipment and up
keep, aside from 100000 paid in
taxes and $275,000 paid for
maintenance of the Diamond
Association.
The drivers will meet Monday
night at the Typographical
Temple to discuss the blacklist
plan.
