washington, D.

 Reports were repbived here Fri day by Harry T.. Hopkins Federal Relief Administration, estimating the weekly copkunnption of these products for Ctrnecticut, and 1t Is believed the etate will be given an allotment su6icient to meet these needs. An 9sfort is being made, however, 6 draw up a schedule of distribufi6n which will encourage a hea1tbsu1 diet, the Senator said. This resulted from criticism that the recent distribution of pork had placed emergency relief families on a neat diet of unhealthful propor- tions. n
 gThc government has already Dpurchased vast quantities of pork. Eight carloads have already been sent to Connecticut, Senator Lon- ergan said, for the first quarterly assignment. A similar shipment will be made about December i, he said. Butter and flour. ship ,ments will be made on a weekly basis.
 The government is arranging calls for bids on beef within the next few days, Senator Lonergan said so that it can be included in regular shipments shortly to be made.

RUNAWAY BOYS BACK IN SCHOOL
 AT LAKEVILLE
Sons of Millionaires, They Had Decided to Brave
 the High Seas

New York, Oct 31.-(UP)- Henry Ford End, a wise boy for his 15 years had the laugh to-day on two sadly disappointed school mates.
 Phelps Newberry, Jr, and Henry Wetter, Jr, sons of a Detroit bank CT and Memphis manufacturer, returned to Hotchliss school in Lakeyille, Conn, without even the thrill of having spent night in jail.
 The 15-year old heirs were found registered under assumed names at the Bradley house last night. State police, federal men from the de- partment of justice and detectives of the missing persons bureau had sought them since Saturday, when frantic alarms were broadcast for their recovery.
 The lads ran away from the ex- elusive school Friday night. They carried five heavy bags and a de- termination to find adventure on the hish seas. They wanted Hen- ny Ford End, schoolmate and grand son of the motor car manufac- turer, to go along. Young Ford, s15 years old, visualized the search his father, Edsel Ford would or- ganize if he went adventuring and declined. He predicted that par. ents would interfere with their plans of calling the seas before the mast. They tramped the New York waterfront looking for a ship, and had decided to try dish washing when they were found.
 Phelps Newberry's father is a neighbor of Edsel Ford in Crosse Point, Mich. His grandfather is Truman Handy Newberry, former United States senator and secre- tary of the navy.
 Henry Wetter's father, manufac- lures stoves and furnaces.
 A chance remark overheard by the clerk of Bradley house brought visit last night from Patrolman Harry J. Mcdonald. This brought Q trip to police headquarters, and the prospect of the only real ad- venture of the trip. a night in jail.
 Then up drove a limousine and took them to the home of a bank CT, Daniel F. Caulkins, vice presi- dent of the Bankers Trust company of Englewood, N. J., friend of the Newberrys.

Barbers Prefer To
 Overlook Holidays
When Date Falls on Saturday, As Did Columbus Day,
 Would Keep Shops Open Contrary to State Law

Waterbury barbers, in conjunc- tion with barbers throughout the state, are preparing petition to be presented to Governor Wilbur |. Cross asking that the state reg ulation forcing closing of their shops on holidays not be enforced when the holiday falls on Saturday. The movement was first initiated in New Haven but has now spread throughout the entire state.
 Under new regulations laid down barber shops must close on legal holidays. The first instance of this new ruling was felt on Columbus day, October 18th. A couple of bar bers continued to do business on the holiday but they were arrested.
 The petition now being circulated charges that holiday closing dis criminates against suburban barber shops, particularly, in that much of their trade comes from workers on farms and in factories who are

played. This should relieve the farmer of retail mark-ups due to increased expense.
 "Our experience also shows wide transformation about the extent of wholesale and retail price in- creases. Now that most of the great codes are in, it will be much easier than ever before not only to Investigate but actually to pre- vent undue wholesale price in- creases. The president has direct- ed that this be done at once.
 But most of the complaints re- ceived now are of retail profiteer- ing. What is needed here is local tribunals to which any person who feels injured in this way can com- plain and & fair hearing held. The president also has directed that these local complaint boards be set up. A complete plan for this has been worked out and will be put into effect at once. By those means we believe we can protect the public, including the farmer, against price increases which do not come as direct result of the cost. of reemployment."
