ROME, Aug. 7.-"Stop Bolshe-

of Premier Mussolini's foreign
policy as he bent every effort
today to break up possible united
front against fascism from the
red forces of Spain, France and
Russia.
Authoritative diplomatic quart

assumed leadership in Eltrope'S
struggle to halt the common
enemy of Italy, Germany, Austria
and other right wing states.
Mussolini has done so, it was
declared, by pointing out the dif-
ficulties involved in an alright
neutrality program toward Spain.
and by virtually refusing to par
ticipate in any accord to that end
unless definite assurances are
Forthcoming from FTance-Which
cannot give them-that neutrality
will be strictly respected by gov
ernment and private interests
alike.
IN some Quarters it was believed
that Italy had made it virtually
impossible for any neutrality
agreement at all to be drawn up.
this assuring the Rightists victory
in Spain, since the Insurgents can
more easily be aided with arms
ana munitions than the Radical
government.
Premier Mussolit1i foresaw a
great split into two main opposing
camps led by BolsheViSrn and Fas-
cism in an interview with the late
Gen. Charles W. Sheriff., former
American ambassador to Turkey.
II Duce told General Sheriff. last
March:
"PoIitics the world over is be-

Communism, which means Boil

BolshevisIn, which include FaS-

For the second time within a week,
fire broke out in the building at 1911
G street shortly after midnight, caus-
ing several thousand dollars damage
to the second-fioor storeroom Of Lu-
Ceals dress shop.
Firemen from four engine and two
truck companies battled for more than
two hours before bringing the blaze
under control The flames destroyed
the roof of the two-story structure,
quantities of boxes, bags and tables
in the storeroom and slightly damaged
q garage in the rear of 1918 G street.
No merchandise was in the store
room at the time. Moe Freidin, CO.
owner with Celia Ansell, said they
had just about finished repairing the
damage caused by the first fire and
were preparing to reopen the shop to-
morrow. Freidin said he could not
give an accurate estimate Of dam
age caused last night, but said it
would be "at least several thousand
dollars"
The first fire occurred last Thursday
evening. 1t was confined to the rear
Of the dress shop and caused damage
estimated at between $1,000 and s., 500.
An electric iron in a pressing booth

MILK PLAN HELD
STAb|L|z|NG MOVE'
A. A. A. Official in Radio Talk
Declares Consumer Is
Protected.

Federal control Of distribution Of
milk In the District is aimed at lifting
the well Of mystery" about the prices
paid by milk handlers to producers and
thus establish all producer prices or
an even basis, Jesse w. Tapp, director
Of the Division Of Marketing and Mar
keting Agreements of the A. A. A., said
in q radio talk last night.
THE interests of the consumer are
protected by a special provision in the
agricultural adjustment act" Tapp
said He gave his talk over Station
VOL In answer to broadcasts concern
ing the alleged unfairness to the con-
sumner and to certain producers Of the
proposed control, which would be oper-
ated through q marketing agreement.
Consumer to Be Protected.
I'm effect, the law says that the
consumers interests are to be protect
ed by q gradual correction of the cur
rent level of prices at as rapid a rate
as is in the public interest and feasible
in view Of consumer income.
THE program is designed to stabil-
ize and improve milk-marketing condi-
tions in the District of Columbia in
the interests of all groups, regardless
Of whether they are producers, con-
sumers or handlers. 1t seeks to assure
each farmer Of an equal opportunity
to sell his milk in the District Of Co
lumbia market, and to get paid for that
milk according to the use and value
which it has to the handler.
All of this does not mean higher
prices to consumers, as some people
would have you believe. 1t does mean
that, through the elimination of un-
certainty and unfair practices, the
farmer may be able to get little big
ger share of the dollar which con-
sumers are now paying for milk.
Cannot Regulate Prices.
"The program does not, and under
the law cannot, regulate prices which
handlers and retailers must charge
consumers. Consumer prices are left
to the forces of competition among
handlers and retailers. The program
does establish uniform minimum prices
which handlers are required to pay
farmers for their milk.
This makes it possible for all pro-
ducer prices in the market to be on
an open and comparable basis. Evil
IDENTIFY, it is upon this particular point
that some of the opposition to the
program Is based. Can 1t be that some
of those who oppose the program are
reluctant to deal with farmers on an
open and above-board basis?
Minimum Prices Provided.
ITO consumers I would again en-
phasize the fact that the pending
program provides for minimum
prices which, in effect, would main
tain the existing level Of prices to
producers now reported to be pre-
vailing in the market.
when the program was tentatively
approved by Secretary Wallace it was
pointed out that since the level of
prices to producers is not being
raised this time, there is no justifi-
cation for any increase in prices
charged Washington consumers for
milk and cream"
The promulgation Of the program
awaits action by Secretary Wallace.

recorded conversations between Samuel
Leighton Frooks. So, New York lawyer
and congressional candidate, and Mrs.
Mary Krieger, IS, Of the Kennedy
Warren Apartments, as they allegedly
plotted to blackmail Carroll Pierce,
Alexandria, Va. bank president.

who specializes in dictaphone and
overlapping jobs, was assigned to
the case.
Meanwhile, Assistant United States
Attorney Roger Robb, who conducted
the investigation that resulted in the
arrest of Frooks and Mrs. Krieger on
charges of conspiring to blackmail
Pierce for allegedly refusing to live
up to promise to give the woman
job, would not substantiate reports
that the proprietor of suburban
tea house would be called to testify in
the case.

Frooks, candidate for Representa-
tive-at-large from Queens County,
was at liberty today on $4,000 bond.

to raise $4,000 set as her bail.
They were held for the grand jury

when arraigned before Police Court
Judge Isaac r. Hit.
Both have protested their inno-
cence. Mrs. Krieger claiming Pierce
had promised her job as contact

the Citizens National Bank, which he
heads, and Frooks claiming he was
retained by Mrs. Krieger to represent
her in a breach of contract suit. He
said an amicable settlement had been
reached.

new buildings, has been completed.
