BAKERY CLAIMS
COST RISE

Cost accounts showing that the
price of ingredients for the max
ing of bread has increased by al
most -one-and-a-half cents since
March of this year we're submitted
by a local bakery concern today to
Robert E. Lynch, assistant Corpo-
ration Counsel in charge OF the
bread price increase probe.
Not only have these material
costs" increased, according to the
tabulation, but prices of labor and
costs of gasoline and oil used in
trucks in which the bread is dis
tributed also have increased.
Lynch said the bakery which
furnished these figures said the
tabulation could be verified by a
perusal of the books.
He said that other bakeries will
furnish figures today, and that he
expects to have cost accounts
from all the large baking con-
Germs some time this week.

AWAIT DOUBTS
COOPER CLAIM
IN BANK CASE
Deputy Comptroller, Called as
Plaintiff Witness, States
Treasury'S Attitude

Doubt as to whether the capt.
tai structure of the United Sav-
ings Bank remained intact after
failure Of the Commercial Ma
tional Bank, was advanced today
by Deputy Comptroller F. G..
Await as additional reasons for
the Treasury's refusal to permit
the bank to reopen after the
March holiday.
Await, subpoenaed as witness,
for the plaintiff in Col. Wade H.
Cooper'S injunction suit filed in
District Supreme Court to bar the
United Savings Bank from par
ticipation in the Hamilton Ma
tional Bank merger, was tracing
the entire course of the Comp
troller's action regarding the
closed Washington banks, when
the noon recess began.
States Treasury Attitude
The Deputy Comptroller fol
lowed his chief, j. F. T. O'Connor
on the witness stand and began
his testimony by explaining the
general attitude of the Treasury
after the banking holiday. He
said:
"After the banking holiday
ended March IA, the COmptrOl-
ler's office was confronted with
the large task of relicensing
sound banks in order to release
their deposits for public COM
merce. We had to be assured
that those banks which we al
lowed to reopen, including in
the District, would be able to
meet any emergency because no
one could tell whether the pub
lie would fly into another
panic"
estate banks such as Colonel
COOper's bank, we're licensed to
reopen only on the unqualified
approval of national bank exam
liners. These recommendations
were based on recent examina-
tiOns together with a general
knowledge of conditions sur
rounding the banks and of their
ability to borrow funds to meet
their needs"
Attorney w. BiSsell Thomas
asked what particular action was
taken with reference to the United
States Savings Bank. Await
answered that he appointed a
conservator when the examiners
refused to recommend license to
reopen.
No Security For Loans
This action was taken when 1t
was found that most of the prime
assets of the bank had already
been put up as collateral and it
had no other assets sufficient to
offer as security for R. F. c. loans
necessary to insure the creditors.
Await then expressed the fear
that Colonel Cooper's interest in
the Commercial National Bank
probably had caused an impair
mentt of the capital structure Of
the United States Savings Bank.
The fact that the United States
Savings Bank had deposits in
weak Baltimore banks also was
contributing factor in the Comp
troller's refusal to allow it to re-
open, Await said.

PARLEY To VIEW
PLANS To S|FT
COMPLAINTS
Failure of Many Employers
To Understand Blue Eagle
Rules Blamed

Definite action on dozens of
complaints against employers
violating their Blue Eagle
pledges, constantly pouring into
local NRA headquarters, was
promised today by officials.
Raymond j. Walter, major"
in charge of the Bureau of In
formation, conferred today with
Thomas P. Littlepage, head of the
Washington NRA forces, on plans
for cooperating with the State Re-
covery Board for the District,
and the national NRA organiza-
ton, in the policing of CONNER
cial interests displaying the Blue
Eagle.
Largely UnfOunded
AS a result of this conference,
Littlepage said today that COM
plants received against DEPART
ment stores were largely un-
founded. He said:
"The department stores Of
Washington are cooperating
very fully with the work of the
NRA, and many of them, at
their own expense, are getting
consumer cards signed and
sending them in to headquar-
tiers. On the whole, the mer-
chants of Washington have
shown very hearty cooperation.
"It is true that complaints
have come in, and each COM
plant that comes in will re-
ceive attention, but investiga-
ton shows most of them are
without foundation, due largely
to the lack of knowledge Of
special code agreements en-
tered into with the NRA ad-
ministration between individual
trade groups setting up spe-
ciaI provisions to meet the re-
quirements of that particular
business as provided in the
NRA law"
meeting CalIed
Final plans for the participa-
ton of the local NRA forces in
checking up on employers, and
handling complaints against
them, will be discussed at meet
ing of men and women leaders
in the District drive to be held
on Thursday in the Board of
Trade offices, says Walter. He
adds:
"In the future complaints
will be acted upon as soon as
they are received. 1t is our
belief that most of the re-
ported violations are due to
the fact that employers do not
understand the regulations.
"This is borne out by the
fact that have already been
in touch with a number of en-
plOyers who, after 1 had ex-
planned to them wherein their
interpretations were wrong, said
they would Immediately adjust
their set-up to right the
trouble"
Work Continues
1t is expected that the present
army of volunteer workers can
vassing from door to door may be
pressed into further service to
check up on business houses
which have signed the Presidents
unemployment agreement. A list
of such volunteers for the policing
work has already been started in
the local NRA offices.
This action effectively quells re-
Gently expressed criticism among
the women canvassers against the
lack of any plan for the handling
of the more than 10 written COM
plants aready on file at the local

WHITE PLAINS, y. Y. Dec. %
The confession Of a 13-year- old girl
that she murdered her younger
playmate in an outburst Of temper
left authorities undecided today as
to what action the state would take
Mary Kavala. 13, Of Hastings on
Hudson. N. Y, was held as the con-
fessed slayer of Josephine Waropay,
8, the child whose trusSed body was
found Sunday behind a clubhouse
building. The murder, which at
first was believed to have been a
sex crime, was committed by the
Kavala girl without accomplices,
District Attorney Frank H. Coyne
said on the basis Of the confession.
Mary claimed" Coyne said, that
Josephine had been telling stories
about her mother and her family,
and in a fit of temper she struck
Josephine in the face with a rock. ~
Then while the child was stunned,
she bound her hands with strands
from an old mop. She put a rubber
band around her neck and tied
strands from the mop around the
neck. She had found the rubber
band which had been cut from the
inner tube of an old tire.
Then she pulled a large sled over
the childs body Coyne said, quot
ing from the girls confession. She
said she killed Josephine about 4:30
o'clock Saturday afternoon while
they were on their way home to-
gether."
Mary, a precOcious child, was said
to have been involved in petty
crimes previously.
Coyne said he could prefer a first
degree murder charge against the
girl and ask the grand jury to in
dict her, despite her age. He added
however, that he was not certain
he would take that step. Mary will
be held at a children's shelter pend
ing final disposition.
The murder of the Waropay girl
aroused the quiet village OF Hast
ings-on-H Hudson to degree equal
to that caused by the case of Helen
Vasko, whose parents objected to
a court order that one Of the child's
eyes should be removed to save her
from a fatal infection. The Vasko
family lived directly back Of the
Kavalas and Waropays.

Iloyds Of London, most ro-

insurance organizations, cele-
brates this year it's 245th birth

as the latest radio tune. with
a shrewd eye on American
trade, Lloyd tackles the mathe-

It offers to bet 100 to l that
a child will not be kidnapped

Ready to gamble on anything

horse racing, Lloyds remains
today as it has been for two
and a half centuries. Dating
back to 1888, when Edward
Lloyd ran a coffee house in
Tower Street, a tavern much
frequented by merchants and
seafaring men, Lloyds grew to
become an association of un-
derwriters, clubbed together like
the brokers Of the New York
