they will be able to adhere to the

behind their hands.
One was that the conference discuss
a law to prevent Republicans from hav-

Another was that they discuss the

The suggestion has been made in

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
As the representative Of his wife. the
Governor Of Texas, James Ferguson Is
in Washington In an attempt to see
President Roosevelt and consult with
administration officials on the political
situation in Texas.
This was the outline Of his visit
given to newspaper men today by the
former Texas Governor, who was i'm
peached and then helped twice to elect
his wife to the Governors chair. His
title as Gov. Jim" Is honorary, and
he Is here as MA" Ferguson's repre-

phaSized, he was not here to discuss
patronage end was mot looking for
jobs for any one" However. he said
he would discuss the political situation
during conference he hoped to ar
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee.
Gov. Jim said he was going to talk
about economic conditions in Texas
to various of the administration lead
ers. To newspaper men he made 1t
clear that he disagreed strongly with
an editorial he had clipped from a
newspaper saying that prosperity ap-
parently was returning.
Prosperity is not here. and nobody
should be deceived into thinking 1t Is, T"
he said.
The Texan had an instance Of his
own to illustrate his contention that
prosperity can come only by providing
for raises in prices at the source on
farm and ranch products"
While we are talking about fixing
codes and eliminating cut-throat COM
petition" he said, II want to mention
that Just last week I sold some 3-year-
old beef steers I have fed for five
months at a cost of 10 cents each per
day. They went to market weighing
1,l85 pounds, fine and fat, and re-
ceived the fabulous price Of IN cents
per pound"

see the administration apply the code
in due form to prevent this gross in

bread SELLS HERE
AT USUAL PRICES
Wheat Tax and Rising Mar
ket May Bring Boost Here
in Near Future.

Bread was retailing In Washington
today at the usual price, although there
were indications that the new tax on
flour and rising wheat market may
boost the cost to the local consumer in
the near future.
The processing tax on wheat Of 80
cents bushel, which went into effect
at midnight Saturday. should not raise
the price of one-pound loaves more
than 1M or " cents, however, &C
cording to the Department Of Agricul-
lures figures.
r Officials of local bakeries and chain
groceries said today the price of breao
remains unchanged. and denied knowl-
edge Of any plans to increase the cost
to the consumer.
Refer to Attorney.
Several bakery officials referred in
quiries to Louis A. Spiess, attorney for
the Employing Bakers Association OF
the District.
Il know of no plan to raise the price
Of bread here" Mr.. Spices said. Never
theless, you know that there Is proc
essing tax Of 80 cents bushel on wheat
don't you?"
And you know further" Mr.. Spices
continued. that wheat has gone up
100 per cent since bread prices have
changed here?
We'll, why not figure it out and an
swer your own question as to whether
the price of bread is going up"
The Department of Justice. mean
while, was formulating policy for
dealing with unreasonable" increases
in bread prices in other sections.
Complaints Go to Cummings.
Complaints of increases, which Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wallace considers
too high" are being turned over to
Attorney General Cummings for inves-
tigation and possible prosecution Under
the antitrust laws, where the increases
are being put into effect by groups OF
bakers and dealers.
Wallace said he has obtained reports
OF increases up to 60 per cent. He
takes the position that the tax, II re-
f1ected in full to the consumer, should
not increase the price Of q pound loaf
more than a half-cent.
If the recent rise In wheat prices
and of other bread ingredients are reck-
oned together with the tax, he believes
an increase of from l 1-8 cents to y,
cents a loaf is all that IS warranted
Where prices are not raised beyond
that point, it was made clear no prose-
cution Is to be attempted.
Cummings said last week that in
some communities it appeared that
"profiteering" was contemplated.
Wallace can require all bakers and
dealers to obtain licenses to operate and
to abide by specific regulations govern
ing prices under the farm act, but use
of this drastic power is not contem-
Mated If the Industry acts within rea-
son." farm administrators said.

boat which began patroling the river
as soon as the ice broke up.
Pravadas Khabarovsk correspondent
expressed the opinion that the rifle and
ammunition given Mattern by Soviet
authorities just before he left Khab-
arovsk stood the American in good stead
during the time before he was rescued
With a rifle Mattern would have
been able to kill small game and there
by keep himself alive with food.
The Texan carried virtually no food
with him from Khabaravosk
The frontier guard found the strand
ed American in good health and
uninjured and taking him to Anadyr
lodged him in the guards, barracks
where he has resided since that time
The guards also organized an expedi-
ton to pull Mattern's damaged plane
into Anadyr, but dispatches did not
make it clear whether this had been
accomplished.
The region where Mattern was forced
down in the river valley is rough tundra
with many small hills and SWampS.
There were no human beings nearer
him than Anadyr except small nomadic
tribes of reindeer breeders, some of
whom he may have encountered.
Meanwhile Soviet rescue plane was
scheduled to leave Khabarovsk early
today for Anadyr.

representatives July from Anadyr

pair the Century of Progress.
But the American emphasized that
he had not given up his attempt to

Praises Russian Aid.
Russia provided me with all possible
assistance" Mattern was quoted as hav-
ing said to his American representative
by telegraph Desiring to achieve my
round-the- world flight request that a
seaplane be sent from Alaska on which
I could fly from Anadyr."
The Moscow foreign office, asked
whether an American plane would be

that the question had not been con-
sidered.
Meanwhile both the Northern Sea
