FIXED PRICE PROGRAM
IS HELD IMPOSSIBLE
Head of DUN & Bradstreet Cites
Difficulty for Large Busi-
ness Groups.

BY the Associated Press.
A declaration that it is almost i'm
possible" for large business groups to
maintain fixed. prices for any length
of time was regarded today as one of the
more important pronouncements in an
N. R. A. report. on recent hearings into
price increases under the recovery pro-
gram.
Arthur D. Whiteside, division admin
istrator of N. r. A. and head of Dun &
Bradstreet, who made the report, is re-
garded as one of the outstanding ex-
perts on merchandising questions in
the recovery administration.
Our past experience" he said, "has
demonstrated that it is almost impos-
sible, even if it were contemplated, for
groups of producers or distributors in
which the number of units engaged is
more than very few to maintain prices
at fixed Levels for a protracted period,
for in all divisions of industry there
are excess production facilities, and in
the circumstances price agreements if
made will inevitably be broken.
When excess supplies hang over the
market, prices cannot rise and remain
at high levels"

VIRGINIAN FAVORS
STATE DISTILLERY
Enforcement Chief Declares Cheap
Liquor Required to Solve
Problem.
,y a staff Correspondent of The Star.

BY Staff Correspondent OF The star
RICHMOND, Va. January 13.-Un-
less the Liquor Control Board pro-
posed under the ST ate dispensary sys-
tenn bill is permitted to manufacture
it's own liquor it will be unable to
bring the price down to the point
where it will be possible to drive out
the bootlegger. it was declared yester-
day by Maj. Edwin H. Gibson assistant
attorney general in charge of prohlbl-
ton enforcement in Virginia.
This claim was made in answer to
a letter from Delegate H. M. Souther-
land of Clintwood. Maj. Gibson de-
clared that quoted wholesale prices on
liquor would not permit the board to
resell for less than SO quart. 1t would
be impossible to compete with the boot
logger at more than $3.50 quart, he
claims.
Persons cannot be blamed for pur-
chasing illegal liquors unless the legal
kind can be bought at a reasonable
price, Maj. Gibson asserted.
He expressed the opinion that it
might not be necessary for the board
to actually enter into the manufacture
ing business if the distillers know that
It has that right.
Hotel and restaurant men are busy
preparing for a fight on the bill as
introduced The bill limits sale to
Government stores in sealed packages
and this, the hotel men declare, Is
discriminating against them. The bill
proposes the sale of beer and wines oi
unlimited alcoholic content by hotels
and restaurants.

Measure Provides
"Drinkable" Water
In Run, Sold Here
District La,u FOlIOiUs Lead
of States in Use of
Terms.

Alcoholic beverages sold in the Dis
trict under the liquor control law about
to be enacted by Congress, must contain
"drinkable" water
The control bill defines spirits as
"any beverage which contains alcohol
obtained by distillation mixed with
drinkable water and other substances in
solution, including whisky, brandy, rum,
cordialS and gin"
Corporation Counsel William W.
Bride, who drafted the measure ex-
planned that "drinkable" water would
be regarded as any water fit for human
consumption. He said every State con-
troll law he had studied in connection
with the preparation of the District
bill required the use of "drinkable'
water. The District measure, therefore,
will be uniform with the States in that
respect.
Under the bill passed by the House
distillers and rectifiers would have been
ruuired to indicate on the label of bot
ties the age of the water used in the
whisky as well as all other ingredients
The Senate District Committee, how
ever, eliminated the age requirement
on water because Bride told the men,
bers there is no method by which rec
tifiers and distillers could tell the age
of the water used.

UNUSUAL POWER SOUGHT
Medicine Manufacturers Counsel
Says Body of Law Would
Be Discarded.

An advocate and an opponent Of the
Tugwell bill for revision of the pure
food and drug act of 1906 presented
arguments for and against the bill to
the directors of the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs, in annual meet
ing here this morning.
After listening to the debate, the
board passed a resolution recognizing
the necessity of amending the present
food and drug act and recommended
that the various State declarations study
the Tugwell bill
w. G. Campbell, chief of the Food
and Drug Administration, Department
of Agriculture, said the Tugwell bill
does not seek unusual or unreasonable
powers for any Government officials
Those in charge of protecting the pub
lie however, must be given sufficient
authority to adequately protect 1t, hd
said.
Incorporates Decisions.
Clinton Robb, counsel for the United
Medicine Manufacturers, said the
Tugwell bill would throw into discard
the extensive body Of law built up
through court decisions in food ano
drug cases. He argued that the re-
suits of almost 80 years experience
would be lost by revision of The old act
Campbell answered that the proposed
bill incorporates most of the legal de-
cisionS and ideas resulting from ad-
ministration of the old law often
using even the phraseology of court
decisions
Mrs. Harvey w Wiley, president OF
the District Federation of Women's
Clubs and widow Of the author Of tht
original food and drug act, said that
much as she regretted to see the Wiley
law discarded, she reioiced that dis
interested group OF public officials haC
undertaken to rewrite it.
Explaining the TugWell bill. Mr.
Campbell said it would provide fol
truthful labelling of food, drug anc
cosmetic products, truthful advertising
and would set up definite legal stand
ards He explained that the bill is moi
perfect, but that experience would show
its weaknesses. which then can be rem.
edied. He said food and drug manufac'
( turers. themselves. would be benefited
by the stricter regulatory act. He alsC
made a plea for the establishment o.
standards OF quality.
Prosecution Not Sufficient.
| The present law is adequate. RObl
declared pointing out that the Fedora
/ Trade Commission and the Post Offct
I Department assist the food and drus
administration in preventing fraudulen
/ advertising.
! Campbell replied that prosecution o
fraud was not sufficient TO protect th'
buying public since in such cases it i
necessary to prove there is fraudulen

Carrie Chapman Gait, 75-yearold
campaigner for womens rights.
The two attended>a General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs banquet last
night at the Mayf1ower Hotel. All
about them were feminine notables.
Mrs. Gait arose to make the usual
disappointed in women's accomplish
ments, but prophesied a future "tri-
unphant," in which women would do
something unexpected" and hitherto
"undreamed Of"
Mrs. Roosevelt, wearing blue velvet
gown, Immediately stood up and did
just thatAthe unexpected. A Presi-
dents wife, she voluntarily made her
self the target for any questions that
women present there from all over the
country might want answered concern
ing various phases of the recovery pro-

answer.
Her only "off the record" remark was
what was described as a germ idea
in education. which would have come
under the category of things hitherto
undreamed of"
Appeals for Jobless Women.
She appealed for the program for
unemployed women.
Go to your State administrator, she
urged. Take a great interest IN what

professions, and asked. out of the tragic
stories in her mail for more humane
treatment of transients.
A woman from Colorado asked Mrs
Roosevelt what had been done in aid
ing i'll transients, many of whom
travel through that State
Mrs Roosevelt answered that it
might be possible to get some projects
which would provide semi-invalids with
as much work as they could do. She
told the story of how her friend, Rep
resentative Isabella Greenway, had
aided tubercular patients in Arizona.
Tells of Work in Arizona.
People used to say to any man who
had tuberculosis to go to Arizona and
keep we'll" said Mrs Roosevelt Per
maps the Legion post would give him
Ford car and $780,
Arriving in Arizona he found no
housing, no occupation. 1t was a ter
rible situation. Arizona was flooded
with these people.
Mrs. Greenway got an old church.
She thought up new group Of things
for them to sell. I went with her, on
some of these selling trips. and when
she described how these men had made
canes out of cactus and how these
canes had been cleaned by ants. her
prospects got so interested they had
given an order before they knew it.
She ran that industry until the depres-
sion, when she found the articles nc
longer selling. Then she built hotel
so these men might continue to make
furniture. 1t is the hotel at Tucson
At least her experience is an idea of
what may be done to help transients ~
