D. c. MILK CODE
WON 7 AFFECT
CONSUMERS
Farmers Alone to Reap Bene-
fits; Burden To Be Borne
BY Distributors

Any milk agreement for the
Washington area, if it is to be
approved by the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration, must
place any necessary burdens on
the distributors rather than on
the farmers or consumers, it was
stated today by officials of the
farm unit.
Characterizing one of the trou-
bles in the dairy situation here as
"the high overhead of the dis
tributors," an official asserted
that an increase in prices paid to
nearby farmers would be granted
in a Washington milk code if
sufficient reason we're shown, but
that a boost in the prices paid by
consumers probably would not be
allowed.
Burden On Distributors
This would place upon local dis
tributors the necessity of doing
business with higher costs out no
increase in income, since they
could not raise their retail prices
and would be forced to pay more
than ever to the producers.
1t was explained that farmers
near this city deserve to receive
higher prices for their milk than
those in other localities in which
milk agreements are in operation,
because producers in the West
can grow their own stock feed
while those near here must buy
most of it.
Howe to Fight Price Rise
Belief that no boost in prices
charged to the public would be
permitted, was based by officials
of the farm administration on the
assertion that any contemplated
action along this line would be
battled by DR.. Frederic C. Howe,
consumers counsel, who has re-
Gently gathered material for such
a fight from Elwood Seal, spe-
cial investigator into the milk sit
uation here for the Senate Dis
trict Committee.
In stating that the burden of a
Washington milk code would fall
on the distributors, officials ex
planned that this referred to any
agreement submitted for this
area, no matter who sponsors it.
No criticism or discussion of the
proposed code now being formu-
lated by the MarylandV Virginia
Milk Producers Association was
involved in the statement.

A-BAA' FOES
ARE HANGED
IN EFF|GY
Dangling Dummies Of Mayor,
Sergeant of Falls Church
Stir Laughs and GroWIS

Residents of Falls Church, Va,
awoke this morning to smoker or
to glover as they found another
chapter written in the history of
the campaign Of Mayor L.. P.
Daniel and Town Sergt. Alton j.
Shumate to end ribaldry against
"the law" there.
Sometime during the night the
mayor and the sergeant were
hanged in effigy. Late this morn
ing the dummies remained hang
ing.
Resolution IrreSOlute
Monday night Mayor Daniel
passed among the members of the
town council resolutions covering
almost every conceivable disre-
pect for the law which would give
a sentence of year in Jail or fine
of $500 or both. The resolution
was not acted upon.
Signs in red letters, "Baa-Baa-
Shumate," can be seen painted
on roads leading into the town
and even on the main street.
"Baa-Baa" by Phone
The police station has been
harassed by telephone calls in
which is included the eXtra-spe-
cial salute "Baa."
Meanwhile residents are await

No city the size of Washington
can be cleared of known criminals
in 48 hours.
This is the opinion of Major
Ernest w. Brown, Superintendent
of Metropolitan Police, in COM
menting on a statement by Walter
N. Thayer, jr., president Of the
American Prison Association and
former superintendent of Mary
land prisons.
Urges public Enemy Act"
Mr.. Thayer, in urging a public
enemy act, told wardens, psychia-
trists and other delegates to the
sixty-third congress of the prison
organization, that any city could
be cleared of known criminals
within 48 hours.
He said:
"Any city can be cleared of
criminals if the hands of the pO-
lice are unShackled and if the
powers that be will assure him
support"
Basis for Arrest Needed
Major Brown said it was most
improbable that any such method
could be used here. He added:
"There are, of course, hun
dreds of criminals known to
police walking the streets of
Washington. However, we can
not take it upon ourselves to
arrest a man unless there is
justification. do not believe
it is possible to rid any large
city of known criminals in the
time mentioned by Mr.. Thayer."
Major Brown said he was in
favor of strengthening vagrancy
laws of the District, but he was
fearful they might be abused be
cause Of economic conditions.

DENIED
EX-POL|CEMEN

William R. Laflin and James
A. Mostyn. former District po-
licemen, will not be pardoned at
this time, it was learned when
President Roosevelt failed to sign
papers giving the men their
freedom.
Both men are serving one-year
terms at Lorton for using third
degree methods.
In their pardon applications it
was pointed out their families
were destitute and needed them,
and that their convictions were
won largely on the testimony of
James H. Harker, whom they al
legedly beat with a rubber hose
in an attempt to force con-
feSSion.

selves to blood tests at Emergency
Hospital today, Detective Sergt.
Joseph Sincavitz gave a pint of
blood to his colleague, Hubert E.
Steve" Brodie at the hospital in
an effort to save the detectives
life. Brodie was taken to the hos
pital in a serious condition yester-
day after a gastric hemorrhage.
Hospital physicians announced
that the TRANSMISSION was success
full, but that the stricken detective
was still in a critical condition.
Brodie has been on the Metro
politan Police force for IA years,
nine of which he has spent at
headquarters as a detective SER

j. s. NOT To ACT.
|ND,C.PAY CUT

Twenty-seven District emer-
gency relief employees, who's pay
was cut by order of the District
Commissioners, but not restored
when pay increases ordered at the
same time for SO fellow-Workers
were rescinded, will get no aid
from the Federal Relief Admins
tration, so far as Harry L. Hop
kins, relief administrator, is con-
cerned.
Hopkins said today he was
aware of the local situation but
would abide by the ruling of
Comptroller General McCarl, and
make no investigation.
McCarl's ruling cancelled the
pay increases, but contained no
provision for restoration of salary

Is final. AS a friend of, if not
an abandoned enthusiast for,
drinking, I am grateful to Mr..
Rockefeller, and hope my small
question will not be considered
amiss; it refers to the opening
line of his statement: II was
born a teetotaler."
I do not doubt the accuracy
Of this beginning and wonder
only whether anyone else could
begin an autobiography, say.
with "I was born a drunkard."
Pantagruel, perhaps, or Gar
gantia, or some fantastic crea-
ture in Rabelais whose first
breath was spent in cry for
liquor. But not ordinary NOR
tails. Against us, I fear, the
dice were loaded from the
start and we we're all born
teetotalers, although not haters
Of drinking. Civilization (and
It's diScontents, as Freud says)
made drinkers of us.

HIGHER COSTS
HERE LAID To
COTTON TAX
D. C. Merchants Say Textile
Makers Have Boosted
Wholesale Quotations

Retail price rises in Washington
stores recently have been caused
by increased charges of manu-
facturers and wholesalers, it was
revealed today by several local
department store executives in a
public hearing called by George
N. Peek, head of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration, to in
vestigate complaints that clerks
in certain stores here have as
signed the cotton processing tax
as the reason for boosts in the
price of cotton goods.
Testimony revealed that manu-
facturers have in most cases
passed on to the retailers their
increased costs under the cotton
tax, NRA codes, and lowered dis
counts, but it was charged that
in some instances the price rises
were set arbitrarily by manufac.
turers without due regard to the
actual increase in costs involved.
Extra Charges Added
It was further stated that in
at least one industry, that of
ready y-to-wear women's apparel,
certain manufacturers have
adopted a uniform boost in prices,
which at the present time in
cludes extra charges claimed by
them to be necessary because of
the recent garment workers
strike in New York city.

Grape Juice in Paris

Economic necessity is going
to make drinking more agree
able in a few months in
America, but the same pressure
is having an odd effect in
France. A toast has been
drunk, in Paris. in grape juice.
The shade of William Jennings
Bryan and the active person OF
Josephus Daniels may embrace
over this triumph. 1t is not
that the French are weaken
ing in their love for good wine;
they are upholding their love
for good money. If the grape
can't be made into wine to
export, make it into grape juice
for domestic consumption. AS
