Public Complaints

While business leaders generally
insist that price-fixing be embodied
in any extension Of the recovery
act enacted by Congress-, the
nations consumers are up in arms
about the high price levels and
u n fair practices accompanying
price-raising schemes, the Ma
tional Emergency Council, headed
by Donald R. Richberg, reported
to the National Recovery Board
today.
It's consumers division, after a
survey made in $50 counties, sub
mitted report summarizing the
nature Of the public's complaints.
but did not include any independ-
ent analysis of its own.
Public Complaints Listed
The complaints were divided
into these classifications:
In codes providing price-fix.
Ing there are so many VIOLA
tions as to defeat the purpose
of the division.
Price-fixing is more wide
spread in codes not specifying
this policy.
High prices have either dis
couraged buying or brought &C
ceptance of inferior products.
Refusal to buy has defeated
the purpose Of the recovery act.
Price-fixing does not permit
results of efficient manage
ment to be reflected in lower
prices.
Price-fixing has failed in
cases of cut-throat competition.
Rental Charge Added
Ames, Iowa, reported acetylene
costs the same as before the code,
but owners assess a rental charge
for cylinders.
The divisions investigators in
Omaha reported the price for
printing their report was trebled
above 1888 costs and later reduced
to half the 1888 level by the code
authority.
Los Angeles public schools cur
tailed lumber for manual training
because of high prices. De Kalb
county, Georgia, abandoned build
ing a new school addition and
built cheap temporary quarters for
the same reason.
Harvard College substituted
cheap paper wrapper for manila
envelopes in mailings to the
alumni.

Past 20 Months; Conditions
In First Precinct Scored

Rumors that a white slave ring
operating out Of Detroit. Mich,
controls a large portion of Wash

by Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen.
The District head today received
a report from Captain William E.

detectives assigned to the investi.
CATION Of vice in the downtown

First Precinct Bad
Numerous complaints about the
evil in the First precinct have
been made to Commissioner
Hazen, and police have been i'm
Structed to investigate the opera
tionS of out-of-town persons en-
gagged in white slave practices.
Police headquarters detectives
are tracing the rumor that the
Detroit gang is operating here by
investigating the records of each

Worldwide Strife

The worlds munitions industry
must be controlled by govern
ments before war can be elimi-
mated, Senator Clark CD of Mis-
souri, told the Senate today in a
plea for 100000 to resume the
Senate's munitions inquiry.
Senator Clark charged the In
uuiry already had revealed NUM-
tions makers were busy propa'
gandizing new wars. He gave a
gruesome picture of the next war,
predicting use of pilotless, radio
controlle planes, incendiary
bombs, and wholesale death to
whole populations by gas.
Fears New War
He added:
"FOr the statesmen Of the
world to permit the present In
sane competition in ornaments
to continue with the certainty
that it will precipitate, in this
generation or in the next, an
other cataclysm of unpredict-
able horrors is stupendOus and
incredible folly"
Every move for disarmament
has been fought and usually
blocked by munitions makers,
Senator Clark asserted, and he
Sncluded American munitions
makers in his charge.
He continued:
'It is my profound belief that
one of the primary causes Of
war is the making of private
profit out of war. Without this
insane competition of arma-
ments, the danger Of war would
be enormously reduced.
CIVILIANS MENACED
"The mechanizatiOn of armies

centers and industrial districts,
carrying the horrors OF war
home to civilian nOncOmbat-
ants: newer and more deadly
gases, more destructive shells
and bombs, faster ships, remote

"It is easily conceivable that
pilotless planes, controlled by
radio from a distance, could
carry the new bombs to cities far
back of the line. One Of the
larger bombs can destroy a
whole block of houses.
"In another war, we may look
to see shrapnel rain in every
street. Incendiary bombs, light
in weight because they require
no pentrating power, can be
rained upon cities in such num-
bers that they will become flam-

"MASS MURDER" SEEN

Lieutenant General AltrOck, has

RAGING
 DRIVE STARTS

INDIANAPOLIS Jan. 22.- The line has already started to form to the right for tickets to the an- nual 500-mile automobile race to be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway next May 30.
 At least three national conven- tions and several state conventions will meet in the Hoosier capital in late May. The Automotive En- gineer Rebuilders have already re- quested a thousand seats. The con- vention of the Gyro Clubs of Am erica will require at least 800 tickets and the National Building Officials Conference will need as many.
 The Engine Rebuilders meeting will be intensely interested in the competition which for a quarter of century has been dedicated to the upbuilding of the automotive in- dustry. Their members will be able to see the guinea pigs of the in dustry in action testing innova- tions in power plants which will eventually find their way into the standard automobile.

KEEP
 BATTING ACES


 PITTSBURGH Jan. 22.- The crowning of Paul Waner as Ma tional League batting champion for 1884 primped the plumes of Pitts bergh's proudest baseball tradi- ton. In 12 of the senior leagues 59 pennant races the batting coro- net has graced a Pirate brow. No rival club is close enough to shake PittSburgh's supremacy for the next few years.
 The tradition is kept sparkling by the presence on the ball field daily of Honus Wagner as Pirate coach. Hefty Honus it was whose winning of eight batting titles between 1900 and 1911 was mainly responsible for perching the Western Pennsylvania city at the top of the list.
 The first Buccaneer to become batting champion was Jake Sten- gel in 1893. No subsequent Corsair champ, not even Wagner, amassed Jan average as high as Jake's .409. Clarence Beaumont was king in 1902 and Big Poison had the 1927 diadem to his credit before stepping out and crashing his way to the 1884 prize.
 Next to Pittsburgh, Chicago and St. Louis are tie with eight each. Six times it was Rogers Horns by who took the title down to St. Louis.
 Seven of the eight batting cham pionships won by Chicago players were achieved in the first eight years of National League history when Cap Anson's Colts ruled the diamonds. Since Cap himself was king in 1883, Chicago has won plenty of pennants but has fur nished only one batting champion, Heinie Zimmerman, the 1912 top notcher.

HUBBELL HAS SIGNED D;NAME
 ON CONTRACT
Giant Pitcher Is Given Raise for 1885
 Ball Season

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.- Carl Hubbell, lean left-handed act of the New York Giants pitching corps, has sent in his signed con- tract for 1885. It is understood he will receive $16000 for his. seasons work. Last year he got $12,500.
 Hubbell led both major leagues last year in the earned run aver ages, allowing opposing teams only 2.30 runs per game. He won 21 games and lost l2 and appeared in 50 games which was one more than the hard-working Dizzy Dean of the Cardinals appeared in. Hubbell worked in 313 innings and in this respect was second only to Van Mungo of the Brooklyn Dodgers who toiled through 316 innings.
 Terry Razzed
 Bill Terry, manager, drew a round of adverse criticism from New York fans when he offered to trade Hubbell few weeks ago. At that time many informed baseball men believed Bill had spoiled the effectiveness of his star pitcher in making such an offer and it is now believed the large increase Hubbell received was made in large part to assuage his injured pride.
 Hubbell has been the backbone of the Giants pitching staff since the day he joined the team in 1927 from Beaumont in the Texas League.

If you want to go places in ar athletic way-hitch your wagon k a star.
 That's just what George Lott dio when he decided to turn profes. sional He forgot his personal feut with Bill Tilden and signed up tc play tennis under the O'Brier banner with Stars Tilden ant Vines.
 Of course, Lott felt that the mon- ey was there. He hopes to net something like $20,000 this coming year, but more than that-he knew that his own game was certain to improve as the result of his match es with the Old Master. He cites the aging strides Ellsworth Vines has made with his tennis in the time he has played with Tilden.
 Lott told of wager he made with a friend-he bet that after the first three matches with Til den, he would win from Big Bill more often that he would lose.
 A champion himself, he shared the national doubles championship five times. Lott welcomes the op- portunity to help his own game by frequent matches with Tilden
 Lofts reasoning applies to every field of athletic activity. Int surest way to improve your owr game is to meet the finest per former in that particular sport.
 Playing with easy-marks and sci ups may please your vanity but it isn't likely to make you more proficient. No athlete is tested te the ultimate degree until he is faced with certain defeat. Fight managers and experts are inclined to withhold judgment on a boxer until they have seen. him ''get up off the floor" and fight back You are bound to learn a trick or two from the fellow who can beat you
 In every opular competitive sport you will find "bell-cow"- cham pion or exceptional performer who shows the way to the other ath- letes.
 That is one of the reasons you often see a long line of outstanding performers in one sport at certain colleges. For example: year after year Yale has an abundance of great pole-valuters Minnesota had an almost unbroken string of out standing fullbacks in Joesting, Ma gurski, Manders and Kostka. Holy Cross usually has at least one baseball player of major league possibilities on it's nine.
 The New York Athletic Club at tracts the best water-polo players because Joe Buddy. the greatest player of them all. holds forth there.
