PRESS BLAMED
FOR REPEAL

Charging the newspapers with
failing to support prohibition and
being directly responsible for re-
peal of the Eighteenth Amend
ment, the Rev. William S. Aber-
nathy, pastor of Calvary Baptist
Church, last night discussed the
problems of liquor control.
The problem is one for the
younger generation, he stated, add
ing:
"We have not had an admin
istratiOn since national prOhibi-
tiOn became effective that really
wanted to see it succeed. To
attempt to control liquor with
out stamping it out is as logical
as permitting murder only on
week-ends and in designated To-
CalitieS."

MILK PRICE CUT
HIT BY DAIRY
PRESIDENT
Any Decrease, Senate Is Told,
Must Levy on Producer,
Owing to Glow Profit"

Any decrease in the retail
price of milk without a similar
reduction in the price to the pro-
ducer would wipe out the dis
tributors' profit, Thomas N. Nc
Innerney, president Of the Ma
tional Dairy Products Corpora
ton, today told the Senate Dis
trict Committee investigating the
local milk situation.
He said the evidence already
before the committee plainly
shows that there is active COM
petition between distributors in
this city, and added:
'Tf Chestnut Farms and
Chevy Chase were to increase
arbitrarily the price to the
consumer, competitors would
take their business"
He pointed out that the present
retail price with it's low margin
of profit is possible only through
volume and the most efficient
methods of operation" practiced
by his organization.
Producers Set Price
Under questioning by the COM
mittee counsel, Elwood Seal, Nc
Innerney admitted that the pro-
ducer cooperative organizations
set the price the distributor must
pay the producer for milk. Seal
asked:
"If the cOOperativeS ask as
high as 33 cents for the milk,
you would have to pay that
much, wouldn't you?"
McInnerney replied in the af-
firmative, but added he did not
think such a high price would be
asked, and explained that if the
producers set such a price they
would defeat their own purpose
because the price of milk would
be so high people could not buy it.
Small Margin Noted
Seal attempted to gain an ad-
mission from McInnerney that
both the producer and consumer
must pay for the overhead of a
large organization, such as Ma
tional Diaries, but McInnerney
contended that only the consumer
pays part of this.
The corporation president said
his affiliateS have only a small
margin from which to make prof.
it's and refused to admit that the
small margin was caused by the
large overhead.
He also said there is practically
no profit in the handling of sur
plus milk.

HAZEN FAVORS
SEPARATE DC.
B j D GE 7
Asks Removal of Capital
Finances From Bureau
Local Officials

Melvin c. Hazen, president of
the Board of District Commission
ers, today joined in the fight to
divorce the financial operations
of the District government from
those of the Federal Government.
Mr.. Hazen expressed himself as
strongly in favor Of taking the 10.
cal budget out Of the hands of
the Federal Bureau of the Budget
and giving local authorities power
over District finances.
Federal Interest Small
The head of the Commissioners
pointed out that the only real in
terest which the Federal Govern
ment has in local expenditures is
the comparatively small contribu-
ton of the Federal Government to
the District. This is fixed by
Congress, he added.
Separation of local and national
finances has been urged on sew
eral occasions by Maj. Daniel J.
Donovan, District auditor. In
June, Major Donovan sent a long
letter expressing his views on the
subject to Lewis w. Douglas, Di
rector of the Budget, and to Mrs
Mary T. Norton, chairman of the
House District Committee.
Norton FavOrs Change
Mrs. Norton is known to favor
the change.
Proponents of the change point
out that at present local finances
are administered by the sa m e
agencies and in the same manner
as the finances of the Federal
Government, and urge that they
be put into the hands of the Com
missioners.
They contend that the local au-
thorities are better fitted to judge
the needs and administer the
finances of the Capital than are
Federal officials who are princi-
pally interested in national af-
fairs,

GAS PRICES UP
IN DISTRICT

Maybe it was only the principle
of the thing, instead of the ad-
ditional thin dime that it cost for
five gallons, but a minimum of
enthusiasm was expressed today
by Washingtonians, and those in
adjacent Maryland and Virginia,
when they learned that the price
Of gasoline had been lacked up
overnight.
High-test went from II to 10
cents; regular, Is to IT; and third
grade, 13 to 1512, according to
the new schedule.
Standard Oil officials said the
rise was merely a restoration of
the price of November Is last,
when they cut to meet the Shell
Company.
Sinclair officials stated that
Standard originated the rise and
the others followed suit.

AVIATION SHOW
ENDS TODAY

With simple ceremony at the
Wright exhibit in the National
Museum, observance of the thir-
tieth anniversary of mans flight
was concluded here yesterday.
Other events scheduled to mark
the day, including an air show at
College Park airport, and an at
tempt by Frank Hawks to break
the worlds 1000 kilometer speed
record, were Cancelled because of
the heavy fog which shrouded the
District and vicinity throughout
the day.
At the National Museum a lau-
rel wreath was placed on the eX-
hibit that tells the story of the
Wright brothers flight at Kitty
Hawk, N. c., by Mrs. Jack Stearns
Gray, president of the Womens
National Aeronautic Association.
It was accepted by DR.. Charles G..
Abbot, secretary of the Smith
sonian Institution.
Prominent leaders of the air in
dustry and representatives from
many club groups of the District
attended the ceremony. A lecture
on aviation by DR.. Paul Edward
CARRIER, of the Smithsonian,
marked the end of the observance.
DR.. CARRIER addressed the group
at the Willard Hotel.
It is believed that Frank Hawks
will attempt to break the 1000
kilometer record as soon as the
weather is favorable. His route
will take him from College Park
Airport to Kitty Hawk. thence to
Dayton, Ohio. the home of Orville
Wright, and return to College
Park.

STOCK LIST STEADY,
BUT TRADING LAGS.
Market Holds Ground Despite
Raging Money Fight-UtiI.,
tiles Rise.
What Stocks Did.

BY VICTOR EUBANK
Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, November 25.-The
stock market held its ground today
despite confusing implications of the
raging currency contest. Traders were
ultra cautious. however, with both buy
ers and sellers moving timidly The
utilities continued to edge up optimistic
ally. Transfers Appropriated 100000
shares.
With the gold price unchanged for the
fifth DAY, and the dollar settling down
to unimportant fluctuations in foreign
exchange dealings, there was little
stimulus for equities. Sterling and
francs rallied slightly at one time, then
dropped back to around their previous
closing rates Wheat lost a cent or
more a bushel in the morning and
other staples were different. United
States Government securities and prime
corporation investments we're firm.
Utilities Advance.
Utility shares, up fractions to more
than point. included Columbia Gas
Public Service of New jersey. Amer
lean Water Works and United Gas
Improvement. Small advances were
recorded by Case, American Telephone,
Chrys,er. Sears Roebuck, Western
York Central The metals were trifle
eaTer. Many stocks were unchanged
Dollar sterilization proponents had
their fervor cooled somewhat by dis
patches from Warm Springs which indi-
Gated that President Roosevelt did not
contemplate any change in the present
currency policy or gold purchase cp-
erations designed to lift commodity
prices At the same time there were
expectations that the money contro-
versy might bring a more detailed ex-
PLANTATION OF the administrations pro-
gram.
Inhationists-and there are still large
numbers of these in the financial
sector-have not receded from their
position that a substantial currency
expansion must come sooner or later
If the general price level is to be re-
turned to the 1926 average.
Foreign Trade Climbs.
TIE so-called "greenback' specula-
tive contingent, however, has been OPP
Grating cautiously in equities and COM
modities with the view that, under
the present circumstances anything
NAV happen.
The sharp upturn in foreign trade
during October, as reported by the
Department Of Commerce. was cheering
news for the bullish forces October
exports were 81 per cent over those Of
September and 81 per cent ahead Of
the 1882 month Imports we're up
3 per cent and we're some 43 per cent
more than in October year ago. Since
August. it was indicated exports have
advanced 10 per cent over the normal
seasonal rise.
