BORAH CHALLENGE
TO n. R. A. UPHELD
Administration Official Ad-

N. r. A. agreed with Senator Borah
yesterday that there is no authority
to force a bread-price increase on an
Idaho baker-or any other bread
maker-but gave reasons different
than those of the legislator.
Walter White, acting deputy ad-
ministrator who handled the bread
code, said frankly, however, that
NJ r. A. in some areas had helped
bring higher bread prices.
He said this had been done to
help the little fellow" but any such
arrangement was wholly moral and
lacked enforcement teeth.
Constitutional Right Denied.
Senator Borah contended bakery
code authorities lacked "constitu-
tional right" to compel higher prices.
N. r. A. replied that the bakery code
conferred the right of price boosting
ON no one.
Further, In the case OF the G1enns

vised to disregard an order for a

 All the creations of his house of Mainboctler are of his own design, although most Parisian couturiers buy designs from other fashion artists.
 Bocher studied singing and art in Chicago before coming to Paris in 1911, to train his voice under European masters. The war inter- rupted his budding concert career and until demobilization in 1918 he served with the American troops.
