NEW YORK, May l5.-The po-
lice are making il increasingly dif-
ficult for the ladies who live light
ly to continue TO reside in areas
hitherto distinguished for their re-
spectability. The depression and
many unoccupied flats made It
possible for them to burroB in.
AS the result Of the let-doWn, Sc
date tenants suddenly heard
strange men passing through their
halls at unseemly hours and string
orchestras arriving all times OF
night. Staid workers found them
selves in the early morning eleYa-
tors with tipsy fellows departing
in silk hats.
So the patrol wagons began to
back up and carry away the merry
makers. The decadence was so sud

tial blocks, long known for their
gentle domestic demeanor, became
as flagrantly DaWdy as the old Red
Light section in the 20s.
In the days Of lOoser regulations,
men caught in the demi-mOndalne
raids were jockeyed TO rear en-

WASHINGTON, May 15 U.P) -
Harry L. Hopkins job gets bigger
all the time but the bigger the JOB
the less desire he has for an osten-
tatious office.
Hopkins office is in marked
contrast to those of most leading
administration figures. Other gov
ernment leaders have soft lounges,
lots of easy chairs, thick piled
rugs, creamy curtains and COM
Portable air conditioning.
But none of this for Hopkins.
Hopkins has the plainest office
of any New Dealer" He has no
curtains, a plain, somewhat bat
tered desk. and half dozen hard
chairs.
And that's the way I want it, -
Hopkins said. NO air conditioning
for me. I hope it gets hotter than
hell here this summer
The explanation Is simplicity it
self. The more comfortable the
chairs and office, the longer a
visitor is likely to stay.
Hopkins has had lots Of visitors
in the past because he has dis
persed lots of money. He has a
lot more to handle under the new
work relief setup and he expects
plenty of company this summer.

control program as announced will
afford the best balance between
supply and demand and at the
same time insure producers a fair
price. They realize that the in
creased planting permitted may
depress prices slightly but are I'M
willing to endanger export mar
kets and contract the supply to a
point where it may be difficult to
meet normal domestic require

"This is not an administration
committed to the principle of get
ting agricultural prices as high as
you can," DR.. Calvin B. Hoover,
new consumers counsel, said.
"What we want is fair price"
Other officials were said to feel
that some fue-dured interests
were "ungratefuP'-that having
"tasted blood" they wanted more
and higher prices without regard
for the general economic effects
of a small crop.
