 Produce

Washington, Sept 29-(UP)- The second issue of the Agriculture Adjustment administrators Con sumers' Guide" stated today that the housewife is paying 20 per cent more now for her groceries than she did last winter.
 This additional 20 per cent, how ever, has made possible a 50 per cent increase in payment to farm- CTS, reported pr Frederic c. Howe. consumers counsel, in explaining that the "spread" in food distribu- ton costs has not increased along with commodity prices.
 "The result is that the extra dol- lars that consumers are paynig are going almost entirely to the farm CTS" said Howe. "This definite in- dication of higher prices to farmers is a welcome sign of an upturn for the 32,000,000 farm people, but against this gain must be balanced the increases that have occurred in prices of the things farmers must buy. Farm prices are far from be. ing net gain"
 His price researches revealed q wide disparity meantime in the costs of food in many cities. In Boston, eggs were IS cents dozen higher than the average of 25 1-2 cents for the 49 cities covered.
 Boston, eggs cost 23 cents q doz- en more than Springfield. III. or Omaha, Neb, eggs, cheapest in the country. On Aug 20, the highest prices for 14 food articles, said Howe, were charged in the follow ing cities:
 Milk: Bridgeport, New Haven and Jacksonville, Fla. Butter: New Haven, Conn.
 Cheese: Bridgeport, Conn. Eggs: Boston.
 Flour: New Orleans. Bread: Scranton, Pa. Potatoes: Dallas, Tex.
 Hens: Los Angeles and New Ha' ven.
 Leg of lamb: Cincinnati.
 Round steak: Boston.
 Pork chops: Los Angeles.
 Lard: Seattle.

YOUNG ROOSEVELT READY TO PUNCH
 PHOTOGRAPHER
Gave Up Football Idea at Harvard, As He Didn't
 Want Picture Taken

Cambridge, Mass. Sept 29-(C. P.)-Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr, the presidents athleticaliy-inclined son threatened to punnh e news cam eraman in the nose when he sought to photograph him in row. ing trunks as a candidate for liar. yards freshman crew yesterday. Jumping from his seat at stroke in the shell to the Newell boat house landing as Cameraman John Hurley poised his lens for cioses up, Young Roosevelt stood shoul- ders hunched forward with fist cienched before the photographer, and said: I really mean it."
 But in flash the presidents son composed himself and stepped back into the cedar shell, and he and his mates pushed out into the
 Hurley was one of group of canieramcn who until yesterday had sought vainiy to photograph Young Roosevelt ever since he reg istered as q Harvard freshman last week.
 On registration day Charles Apted, chief of the Harvard yard police, shielded the presidents son from the ever-present photogra- phers. A day or two later Franklin drew football equipment, intending to seek a place on the freshman team, but turned in the uniform when he saw an army of camera men awaiting him at Soldiers Field.
 When the photographers appear- cd at Newell boathouse yesterday, young Roosevelt was exasperated. He consented to talk with con1- mittee of two of the cameramcn, to whom he said:
 II quit football because didn't want to be bounded by photogra- phers and I thought you'd leave me alone here. My father is In politics, but I'm not. He has mo- thing to do with this. don't want my picture taken, because by next week I may be cut from the crew squad and then what would my friends say after seeing me adver- tised everywhere as great oars man?"
 Franklin stroked the Groton school crew through successful season last year. He also played football for the preparatory school. and suffered a broken nose during one of the scrimmages last fall.

 T am glad to be judged by a class of people such as the Jewish people of Waterbury" declared Mayor Hayes. You are hard headed businessmen and am proud to be here addressing you. do not Intend to abuse my op- poncnts in my. speeches. They have a right to run for office.
 Reduced Taxes
 However, as hard-headed busi- ne@men you will remember that I promised when took office to reduce the taxes and the city debt. This has been done. The debt was reduced In the face of reduced in come and when you stop and con. sider this fact you must marvel at the fact that the city owes less to- dya than 1t did four years ago. Therefore don't abuse my op. ponents, I don't praise myself. l merely stand on my record and the fact that l have kept my promises.
 T and the city as a whole have been fortunate that we have had In the controllers office a man able to handle matters satisfactorily. Before l became mayor he worked for me and paid him three times what the city pays him now. And I only agreed to run for mayor on the condition that he would run with me and would stay with me as long as I remain In office."
 Good Assistants

CLARA BOW GETS
 BIG BLACK EYE
Extra Admits to Swinging On Film Star-Says
 It Was Accident

Hollywood, Sept 29-(UP)-The mystery of the knockout punch that fiattened Clara Bow was all solved today.
 Harry Wood, an extra, blushing- ly admitted he swung the hay maker that sent the Tt" girl to the land of nod and gave her a bloody nose. It was all an accident. he said.
 The punch that studio officials felt may not have been entirely nc. cidentai, was dealt during the film ing of carnival free.for-all fight scene. There were 200 of them in the mob, among them Miss Bow. a fighting, clawing bit of femininity bent on rescuing her lover.
 Wood pleaded guilty to save q pal. Bushes showed that Harvey Parry had been kicked in the face by Miss Bow in the same scene a day earlier. His nose spurted blood and his teeth ached. Mild suspi- cion alighted on him that maybe he swung the haymaker. It was then that Wood stepped to the front.
 Clara readily forgave but a slightly discolored face did not le, her forget.

BY SIDNEY B. WHIpPLE

New York. September 2o - (UP) - Joseph V. Mckee. who achieved amazing popularity as successor to Mayor James J. Wal ker after collapse of the Walker regime last year. announced today his candidacy for mayor of New York city.
 Mckee enters campaign in which fusion forces already were making the most determined fight of many years against Tammany Hall.
 His entrance, creating a three cornered race between Tammany fusion and his own anti-Tammany forces, threw the political situation into utter confusion, and disheart- ened a large so-called reform group which had hopedsfor a clear cut campaign between Tammany and the republican-democratic coalition.
 The three principal contenders for the mayoralty are now:
 John P. O'Brien, Tammany- elected mayor in 1892 at a special election called to replace James J. Walker, who had resigned and gone to Europe with Betty Comp ton.
 Fiorello LaGuardia, former con- gressman, republican liberal back ed by anti-Tammany democrats and the regular republican organ ization.
 Joseph V. Mckee, mayor for a day" between the Walker and O'Brien regimes; protege of Ed ward J. Flynn, Bronx democratic leader. and close to the national administration.

LABOR AT WORLD ECONOMIC CONFERENCE.

The request of the Executive Council of the American
Federation of Labor that President Roosevelt give labor
representation at the World Economic Conference which
convenes in London on June 12 is a reasonable one.
In letter to the President William Green, head of the
Federation stressed the importance of the Councils sug-
gestion
ut is impossible to conceive of any economic ques-
ton, he said (which may be presented to the World
Economic Conference for consideration and action that
is not of its very character and significance of great i'm
portance and of vital interest to labor
"No group among our countrys citizenship will be
more directly affected by any action which may be
taken by the World Economic Conference than the hosts
of labor, the working men and women of the United
States"
Mr. Green also impressed upon the President the adj
vanages which the Conference itself would reap from
American Labor representation well the popular eff
feet of such representation on the masses of people,
1--WE confident that the presentation of Labors
point of view in the United States upon economic ques
tons to those present at the Conference will be epfu
and constructive.
I'm addition, most favorable state of mind will be
created in our own country at time when great social
and industrial unrest prevails if Labor is accorded
ognton through the appointment of representative
representatives upon the Economic Commission which
will attend the London Conference"
AS precedent for Labor representation Mr.. Green
referred to the action of President Coolidge in appointing
representative of the American Federation of Labor to
act in advisory capacity at Economic Conference
held in Geneva Switzerland in 1927.
If President Roosevelt granted the Executive Councils
request Mr. Green's letter said he would ESTEEM very
great privilege and pleasure to submit the
of representatives of Labor who believe thoroughly
capable and competent to render distinguished service
for appointment to the Commission which will represent
the United States at the Conference

FARMERS WHO WAITED
FOR ROOSEVELT RELIEF
TO STRIKE ON MAY 10th

APPLETON, Wis.-(FP) - Con-
vinced that the New Deal is just the
same old boloney, Wisconsin dairy
farmers will strike May 10 for fair
price for their products. During the
strike their products will be sold
through retail dealers by the farm
ers themselves, but chain stores and
house distribution will be boycotted.
"This time the milk producers of
Wisconsin will be prepared" declar-
ed leader of the Wisconsin Coop
erative Milk Pool which carried on a
strike which was halted to give Pres.
Roosevelt a 3O-day chance to show
what he would do for the farmers.
Announcement of the strike plans
came just as Gov. A. G. Schmedeman
of Wisconsin and governors of nearby
states, frightened by threats of farm
revolt, hurriedly assembled in Chica-
go to attempt to placate aroused
farmers.
The strike will last 80 days, it is
believed, and after 10 days the strik-
ers will be supplying dairy products
bearing their own label There will
be a fight against the chain stores,
too. The cooperative pool is demand
ing cost of production for milk, in
stead of the S1.4O per hundredweight
which was the goal of the February
strike. If the strike is averted the
pool will continue with plans to put
out its own products.
