PROFITEERS in
RISING PRICES
TO BE PUNISHED
Govt. Begins Plans to
Squelch the Gougers-
S O m e Concerns Are
Taking Mean Advantage
BY WILLIAM +. KERRY
limited Press staff Corresnondent

BY WILLIAM r. AEnbx
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, July 8 - (UP) -
The administration today began
determined warfare against busi-
ness concerns which take advan-
tage Of rising prices to profiteer.
The Justice department will Co.
operate fully with Secretary OF
Agriculture Wallace to protect the
public against gouging on food
prices. Prosecution was threat
ened in cases where increases are
shown to be unjustified.
Imposition Of processing taxes,
together with the general increase
in the price level which Is desired
by the administration, will newt
ably mean a higher cost Of living.
But the government Is determined
the increases shall not be pyra-
mided by profiteering:
Wallace is especially irate over
heavy increases in the retail price
of bread announced by bakers In
many parts Of the country. Bakers
claimed they were necessary be-
cause of the recent boom In wheat
and flour prices and the 30-cent
per bushel processing tax which
goes int defect July 8, to provide
farm relief funds.
However, Wallace and Farm Re-
lief Administrators Peek said. They
do not believe there is justification
for some Of the bread price In
creases. They calculated the wheat
tax was equal to one-half cent on
a one-pound loaf of bread.
Evidence which the Agriculture
Department has collected Will be
Immediately placed before the De-
partment OF Justice for such ac-
ton as 1t finds necessary"
II the charges are sustained by
inquiry. prosecution will follow
under the terms of the antitrust
laws, which prohibits combina-
tions in restraint Of trade, price,
fixing, and similar practices.
In the evnt even more drastic
action is necessary. Wallace Is
armed with emergency powers
which enable him to place an en-.
tire industry under federal license.
Members Of the industry who
failed to obey the federal price
edicts could be virtually barred
from business.

Many Blind Engage
In Newspaper Work
Forty-seven Men and Women Throughout United
States Employed in Field of Journalism

the Blind to discover new vocations
for blind people.
In the group included in the sur
vey are found two reporters, five
correspondents, four writer's classi-
fed as specialists. four editors Of
their own newspapers. one publ
city writer, one radio program
writer, and six writer's of fiction.
or the twenty-three who made de-
tailed reports, seventeen are totally
blind and six have a slight degree
OF vision.
Probably the most famous blind
person who has gained renown IN
the field of writing is Helen Kell-
err, the deaf-blind woman who has
written several books and countless
magazine ard newspaper articles,
her best-known books being the
Story Of My Life and Midstream.
The results of this survey indi-
cate that the best opportunities
for the blind lie In the specialized
fields of reporting and writing,
such as society news, music, re-
writes" and even confession stor-
les. The reporters who have been
most successful are those in small
towns who act as correspondents
for one or more city newspapers.
The annual earnings range up
to five thousand dollars. The high
est salary reported by totally
blind man In any type Of work,
ranked below that Of editorship. Is
thirty-five dollars q week; the larg-
est incomes are received by the
small-town editors who own and
edit their own newspapers. How
ever, one of the blind fiction writ
ers has an income of more than
four thousands dollars from his
writings.
Through expressions Of opinion
Of those already engaged In profess
sional writing, and through the ac-
tual success of blind people In this
work, the conclusion Is reached IN
the survey that 1.-THE field Of pro-
fessional writing does hold oppor-
tunities which those without sight
can make their own, provided al
ways that they have an adequate
education and an objective point
of view. General qualifications for
success by blind persons in profess
sional writing appear to be, ac-
cording to the statement of those
who have contributed to the study,
all that seeing aspirants must pos
sess, and, in addition, there must
be a more intense application OF
mental and moral qualities, such as
resourcefulness. courage, adapta-
bility, clarity, sincerity and the ca
capacity for unremitting indus
try"

DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS
MAY ATTEND INAUGURAL
Has Been Invited to Participate
will Need About $500

That the drum and bugle corps of
Proctor Kildow Post No. II, Ameri-
can Legion, would participate in the
inaugural parade in Washington on
March A, providing enough money
could be raised for expenses incurred,
was announced following meeting of
the corps last night.
An invitation for the corps to take
part in the Presidential inaugural was
received several days ago, and it was
decided to accept.
About $500 will be needed to make
the trip, it was estimated. Since the
drum corps just finished paying for its
uniforms a few weeks ago, there is
little money left in the treasury, it
was stated, and the expenses of the
trip would have to be met by dona-
lions from individual citizens and To-
cal organizations. Several have al
ready promised to contribute, it was
stated, and plans are going forward
for the trip.
The next meeting of the corps
will be held Monday night. Russell
Brown, director of the Gilbert-Brown
Boys Band, is directing the corps, and
all members are urged to be present.
