WAR To BR|NG
10-CENT GAS
FOR D. {.
$40 Dealers Expected to Sell
Gas Today at Cent Under
Cost in Price Fight

Major gasoline distributors in
Washington were expected to
follow the footsteps of the indie,
pendent dealers today by reduc-
ing the price of gasoline to 10
cents, tax included.
The major companies main
tanned the price of gasoline at
IL cents a gallon over the week
end. If they slash 2 cents from
this price it would mean that all
Washington's $40 gasoline filling
stations would be selling the
product at the lowest price in
the history of the city.
Secretary of the Interior 1ckes,
who is also oil administrator,
was expected to be invited in to
end the five-day gasoline war
here. 1t was pointed out, how
ever, that he is not empowered
to fix prices for this industry,
since there are no provisions in
the present code set-up.
Both sides in the "gas war"
admit that the sharp reduction
in prices means selling gasoline
for about a cent below cost. So
bitter is the controversy, how
ever, that neither side has signi-
fled any intention of compro-
missing.

Chambers, 80, colored, 200 block
L St. S. E., rounded the corner as
the child's cousin, Harry Oliver,
IS, started to wheel the perambu-
lator across the intersection.
Raymond was taken to Provi-
dence Hospital and treated for
bruises and decorations. The driver
of the car was charged with reck-
less driving by Fifth Precinct

THIEF SLASHES
WOMAN On ARM

A holdup man today robbed
the Frazee Potomac Laundry
branch at Fifteenth and L Streets
Northwest of it's Saturday re
ceiptS and cut Miss Marion Brad
shaw, the manager, on the right

Man Seeks Arrest
To Get Medical Aid

Otto Mckay, Is, who asked a
policeman to lock him up as a
drunk so that he could obtain
treatment for illness, is now in
Gallinger Hospital suffering from
pneumonia. Mckay approached
Park Policeman Stephen Badurski
Saturday night and said that he
had become i'll from sleeping in

Ken Murray
Says:
"Home, Iames!"

A fellow in Los Angeles, who
is charged with taking money
under false pretenSes, claims
that he is Jesse James, the no.
tOriOuS outlaw. If true, he GER
tainly let Dillinger steal the
picture.
Records show that back in
the seventies, Jesse was killed by
Bob Ford. Imagine that! All
these years, and the FOrds are
still knocking them off.
l guess, if Jesse had it all to
do over again, he wouldn't be a
bandit He'd most likely get
an education and be an en-
beZZler.
It's quite possible that he
could have lived to a ripe old
age. With all those heriffs
after him, he certainly had
plenty of exercise skipping
rope.
SO REMEMBER:
Stage robbers of the West
used to use guns and horses.
Those of today use lipstick and
limOuSines.

j. s. To DIRECT
PUBLICITY At
PROF|TEERS
Press and Radio Will Inform
Consumers Right Prices
To Expect For Food
BY EUGENE A. KELLY


Alarmed by the activities Of
food profiteers, who are taking adj
vantage of the drought situation,
Government officials moved for
ward today with plans to crack
down" on excessive food profits.
Admittedly handicapped in their
battle with the profiteerS because
of the lack of proper legislation,
the Government will resort to the
old time weapon Of publicity.
Women'S clubs and civic organlza:.
tions throughout the country will
be advised weekly through the
radio and the press OF the current
prices of foodstuffs and what rea-
sonable prices are expected TO De
paid for them.
DIR. Howe in Charge
In charge of the campaign to
advise the consumer against the
inroads of INSCRIPTIONS merchants
will be DR.. Frederic C. Howe, con-
sumers' counsel for the Agrlcul-
tural Adjustment Administrator.
DR., Howe today warned consumers
against being "stampeded by 1alSe
rumors of the food situation.
Admitting that some 1000 prices
will undoubtedly rise, partly oe-
cause of the drought and partly
because of seasonal changes, Or.
Howe said there would be suttlc-
lent food for the larger part OF the
usual American requirements.
In some official circles today
there was talk of returning to
"meatless Tuesdays" and other
programs in effect in this country
during the World War. Already
there is a serious shortage Of pork
and beef, and while there will
probably be sufficient for this
year, the outlook for 1885 is not
encouraging.
Seeking Substitutes
It was learned that Government
agencies are working on possible
foods that will serve as substitutes
for those that will be scarce next
year.
Prices of foodstuffs in Wash
ington have shot up about 8 per
cent within the last year. Eggs,
for instance, are now selling for
about 34l2 cents dozen. and sold
for about q cents last year; but
ter today is 80 1-3 cents and this
time last year was about 29I2
cents.
The price of bread here has in
creased only about one cent, while
milk is still selling for 10 cents a
quart, with pressure from the dis
tributorS, however, to raise the
price.
Put On Producers
DR.. Howe said today that any
increase in the price of milk
should be borne by the producers.
There will be no loopholes in
the attempts of merchants to
profiteer by the drought scare"
Dr.. Howe said. A comparison OF
the cost of the raw material with
that of the finished product will
be the Governments gauge in
determining if there has been
any undue rise in the price of
foodStuffs.
Will Aid Consumer
Urging consumers to bring their
problems to his office, DR.. Howe
said:
1--WE are going to give the
consumer every possible help
in judging the fairness of price
changes. We are going to do
everything we can to develop
intelligent buyer skepticism. We
are inviting food merchants of
Washington to tell us their
side of food problems as they
may develop"
DR.. Howe said consumers should
closely follow official reports on
the movement of food supplies
and prices. Informative publicity
and exposing the food racket.
GERS" will check undue price ad-
VanCes. DR.. Howe believes.
