years.
Hoeppel's name, along with those OF
AZ other proposed committee chair
men, was to be presented to the
caucus for approval by the Democratic
members of the Ways and Means
Committee.
There was some talk early in the
day that attempts might be made to
keep Hoeppel and some other party
"irregulars," from getting the jobs
and the patronage that goes with
them.
Opposed Administration.
In the last Congress Hoeppel voted
against more administration bills
than any other member of his party.
Once or twice, Democrats asked him
why he did not move over to the Re-
publican side of the aisle.
And Hoeppel promised today that
craftsmanship or no Craftsmanship.
I'll continue to vote my convictions"
There was additional talk prior to
the caucus about Representative

Emergency Council Division
Presents Criticism of
Code Policy.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A six-point criticism Of N. r. A.
code price-fixing was presented to the
Recovery Administration today by the
consumers division of the National
Emergency Council.
It summarized information received
from $50 Consumers Councils through
out the country and was presented at
N. r. AS hearing on the entire Blue
Eagle price policy.
The six conclusions drawn from the
reports by Donald r. Richberg's coun-
Gil, which said it had not injected its
own analysis, were:
81. In codes providing for price-fix-
ing there are numerous violations, suf-
ficient in many instances to defeat en-
tirely the purpose OF the provision.
Spread Held Unauthorized.
"2. Price fixing is more widespread
than specific code provisions authorize.
IS. High prices for particular COM
modities have discouraged consump-
ton or have diverted buyers to an
alternative and perhaps inferior
method of satisfying wants.
-. The consumers option Of re-
fusal to buy when prices are not right
Is not an adequate protection and,
when exercised, it defeats the purpose
of the act to get consumers to buy
more goods.
"5. Price fixing does not permit the
results Of eticient management to be
passed on to consumers In the form
Of lower prices.
g. In many cases Of threatened or
actual destructive competition, price
fixing has not proved to be q desirable,
effective or practical solution"
e. 8. Ownership Feared.
A warning that continued price con-
trolls in N r. A. codes may lead to
Government ownership was laid be-
fore business men last night by Paul H.
Nystrom, representing the Nations
huge and 10 cent stores.
Price fixing" said Nystrom, marks
the end of competition and the begin
ming of monopoly.
IF the right to Ak prices be granted
to private business, the interests Of the
public. not merely Of the consumers
but of all the business world as well,
will be seriously at stake.
Those interests must be con-
served
The only possible protection for the
public against unreasonable prices will
be close and effective Government
supervision and control over price
fixing organizations.
III Government supervision and
control of price fails-and we are not
sure it can succeed-the State must
itself take over the ownership and
operation Of industry.
There are no other alternatives.
"These alternatives are not theoreti-
cal; they are practical and actual"

will observe this week at a later
date to be announced soon.
The purpose of such plan is
primarily to lower the death rate
of Negroes throughout the United
States. According to statistics on
mortality records, the Negro has
higher death rate than his white
brother. Based on these statisti-
cal facts, insurance rates for
Negroes are generally higher be-
cause the risk is considered great
er.
BY means of such a national pro-
gram an attempt is made to pro-
mulgate the ideas of modern medi-
cine on health. So frequently these
messages come to those who hear
but do not desire to appreciate
them. It is surprising how people
hold to ignorance and prejudice in
matters of health. However, the
hope is that by constant propa-
ganda attention will be called to
the fact that certain health meas
ures are the most scientific and
also that early diagnosis of any
body disease depends upon the con-
slant vigilance of the individual.
Although only a short period of
time is set aside for this program,
nevertheless the facts which will
be stressed are to be used daily.
In order that any one may be
happy and that any one may live a
normal life, he must be healthy in
mind and body. In this way only
can he be of service to himself and
to his fellowmen.
It is our duty in the Twin Cities
to make this health week a success
by giving our support to the vari-
GUS phases of the program which
is now being prepared for the near
future.
