SEN. KING RAPS

The White House plan to
change the form of the District
government from a three-man

ship" is meeting strenuous oppo-
sition from Senator William H,
King D) of Utah, chairman of
the Senate District Committee.
The Senator thinks the Dis
trict is the best governed mu-
nicipality in the world and he
sees no reason why the form of
government should be revised,
even if President Roosevelt. whom
he has supported enthusiastically,
believes such a change advisable.
The Senator said:
"The President has no au-
thOrity to change the form of
government of Washington,
Congress established the gov
ernment and only Congress can
change it.
"The legislation enacted by
the special session, giving the
President power to reOrganize

Of LABOR
BLAMED FOR
INCREASE
King Threatens Congressional
Probe, Claiming 1-Cent
Jump Uniustified

Washington has been paying
higher prices for bread than the
rest of the country for the last
few years.
This was admitted today by
Henry Stude, president of the
American Bakers Association, as
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Robert E. Lynch prepared } open
a probe of bread prices, and Sena-
tor William H. King CD of
Utah, threatened a Congressional
investigation along the same
lines.
Increase Upheld
Stude, in telegram to DR..
Frederic C. Howe, consumers
counsel of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration, admitted
that Washington's prices have
been higher than those of the
rest of the country, but said that
the recent increase of one cent a
loaf was justified.
Washington prices have been
higher than the national average
because of high wage labor
contract which reflects higher
costs in both production and
distribution, Stude said.
Because of the processing tax
and higher commodity prices, an
increase of ~ cents a pound
would be justified, Stude con-
tends.
Senator King, chairman of the
Senate District Committee, took
exception to this statement, and
declared
"The resentp One-cent in
crease is unwarranted. Bread
prices heretofore have been too
high in view of the price of
wheat and the low cost of
labor.
The committee head said he
felt the Investigations now under
way by the corporation counsel
and the Department of Justice
would prove fruitful, but that in
the event they did not, he would
demand a congressional inVeStiga-
ton.
Data Secured
lynch today secured from the
agricultural administration data
on the costs of wheat and flour,
and will make a study of them,
preparatory to starting a formal
probe of District bread prices.
He will also attempt to deter
mine if there is price-fixing
agreement among local bakers,
and if they are using flour pur-
chased before the processing tax
becomes effective.

SEWER WORK
Public Works Notifies Capital
Heads Allotment Has Been
Made; Work Due at Once

Formal notification that $1,759,-
500 has been allotted to the Dis
trict by the Public Works Admin
istration for expenditure on sewer
projects was received today by the
District Commissioners.
Immediately the Commissioners
conferred informally and decided
to begin work on the projects at
once.
Status of Money
Previously there had been some
dispute among the city officials
as to whether or not the money
should be expended until Con-
gress conveneS, due to the fact
that it was questioned by some if
the District would be given the
funds as loan or direct grant.
Decision on this question, it was
pointed out, rested with Congress,
and it was the view that the Dis
rtict taxpayers should not be
placed under any heavier burden.
One of the Commissioners, how
ever, stated conviction that Con-
greSs would not tax the District
for the money.
At the informal meeting today,
the Commissioners decided to ac-
cept the money and begin work at
once on the projects, expressing
the view that the letter from the
Public Works Administration no
tifying them that the allotment
had been made should be taken
at it's face value" as an "allot-
ment."
Among Projects
The projects contemplated to be
performed under the allotment,
with the amounts to be spent on
each, follow:
Northeast Boundary sew r,
$953,OO0; Piney Branch relief
sewer, 100000; outfall sewer ex-
tension, $220,500; Upper Potomac
extension, $4,000; Anacostia in
terceptor with pumping station,
1921, 900; Board of Sanitary En-
gineers, $4,000.
Commissioner John C. Gotwals
said yesterday that plans al
ready had been completed for
some of the projects, and that
preparation for commencing them
could begin at once.
