Worker Tells Probers
ow3Live in D. {.
On S12Per Week
Migratory Vireinion
Testifies Food Budget
Permits Nothing Fancy

A man with a wife and young
child can live in Washington on an
income Of $12 a week if they don't
eat anything fancy" the special
House committee investigating the
plight of migratory workers was told
late yesterday by witness.
A so-called migratory" worker
from Alta Vista, Va, the witness
gave the name Of Mack Thomas. He
testified with his 22-year- old wife
and 3-year-old daughter sitting at
his side.
Mr.. Thomas said he is earning
s12 week as helper on fuel
truck. and that he and his family
are able to make ends meet on this
meager income, although $6, or half
of his salary, is paid out as rent for
a light housekeeping apartment on
I street.
Live From Hand to Mouth"
How do you do it?" inquired
Representative Tolan. Democrat of
California, the committee chairman.
well" replied the witness with a
slight Southern drawl, I'VE don't eat
anything fancy. We just live from
hand to mouth"
Mr.. Thomas brought out in his
testimony that he came to WASH
ington for construction job he
heard about" from a friend. He
said he borrowed enough money for
bus fare to transport himself and
his family to Washington and ar
rived here in September entirely
without funds.
There was no Job available at
the firm his friend had told him
! he would be able to get work. In
desperation, he said, he "ap-
! preached a number of landladies,
trying to get sleeping accommoda-
tions without advancing the rent.
Failing in this. he finally appealed
to the Travellers Aid Society and
was given relief until he found his
present Sl2-a-Week job.
Despite the handicaps of sup
porting family in Washington on
Sl2 a week, Mr.. Thomas said he
would rather live here than in Alta
Vista. And his wife agreed with
him.
Two Others Testify.
Mr.. Thomas was one of the three
migrant workers who testified be-
fore the committee yesterday. The
others were Macon Lewis, a for
mer worker in the peanut fields Of
North Carolina, who gave his age as
going on 49," and Percy B. Tom
ilson of Valley Falls. r. l., who said
he is living temporarily at the Home
for Veterans at 921 Pennsylvania
avenue Sc.
The committee took the testimony
of the three migrant workers after
listening to Secretary of Labor
Perkins, Col. Philip B. Fleming,

strike" as one method Of battling
increasing Government costs, and
another proposed complete revision"
Of the State labor code. Resolutions
finally approved, however, did not
propose either plan.
The association directed officers to
study possibilities Of giving farmers
control Of the marketing Of their
products through grower controlled
processing, packing and distributing
plants; through cooperation with
present plant operators, and through
diversion Of purchasing and selling
or marketing operations to those
communities, States or areas open to
the free flow Of our products"
The latter was regarded as An in
direct threat to boycott cities where
unions might refuse to handle farm
products declared hot cargo" be-
cause Of local strikes of workers in

Properly Tax Sale
To Be Held January 7

Legal notice of the annual "tax
deed" sale to be held January 7 by
the District tax collector to force
payment of the delinquent realty
taxes was published today by the
Commissioners.
Ofilcials estimated approximately
10000 pieces Of property were listed
for the sale, and said the amount of
back taxes due was around $500 900.
Onwers of properties listed may
avoid having a claim placed on the
titles to their properties by paying
before the time of the sale the back
taxes dues, plus penalties and a
special fee of so cents to cover the
cost of the legal notice.
Each year dozen or more brokers
appear at the sale to bid on the
properties. Owners have two years
in which to redeem their properties,
and thereafter must negotiate with
the tax deed brokers who paid the
bill. Properties not purchased by
outside interests are bid in by the
District government.

CHAPTER XIV

Pop Grimes breathed a sigh Of
relief next morning when Eddie slid
his feet out of bed, grinned and in
haled deeply.
Looks like hte storms over"
he observed, nodding Onward the
portfolio.
"Yeahl I'm sure glad" said Pop.
"And I'm also plenty glad you
didn't take cold or anything. Can't
have you going into that ring next
week on crutches."

in the crews quarters.

you to sleep 1t out and you sure
did just that. You've been pound

Eddie got into his clothes and
went straight to her cabin. She lay
propped up against a couple Of pill

look was a lee challenging, and
perhaps a bit powerful.

added.

"Just what I said. Once you and
Duffy and Pop get ashore we won't
be able to keep an eye on you every

a train or even a plane back to
Frisco"
"You mean you're giving us our
release If we want it?"
She nodded again. "Why no i?
You've earned it, haven't you?
Besides, we probably can pick up
