Iona Foe Of Tobacco
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Dr. Charles
Giffln Pease. 86, founder and presi-
dent of the Non-Smokers' Protective
League of America, and a lifelong
crusader against tobacco, coffee, tea,
chocolate, meat. liquor, condiments
and medicaments, died Tuesday in
his apartment.
He began his campaign against
what he regarded as noxious influ-
ences at the age of II when he
pushed a cup of coffee away from
the breakfast table and lectured his
mother on the virtues of cold water.
He smoked for a week when he was
II, then launched his one-man drive
to abolish the tobacco industry.
After acquiring a medical and
dental education somewhat late in
life, DR.. Pease wrote dozens of
pamphlets and delivered countless
lectures calling for teetotalism, vege-
tarianiSm and aSceticsm.
Among the familiar elements Of
modern civilization which drew his
wrath were ginger ale Cwhen a deer

Health Security Unit
Studies Hospital Cost
To Bar Profiteerinq
Some Increases in Fees
Now Are Justified,
Administrator Says

The Health Security Administra-
ton is engaged in a continuing
study of rising hospital and clinic
costs and plans to make public its
findings from time to time as
guard against both profiteering and
misunderstanding of justified charge
increases.
Ross Garrett, administrator of
this Community Chest agency. said
hospital fees, in general. had not
advanced appreciably here although
an H. S. A. check revealed a boost
of approximately IL per cent in
operating costs over a tWo-month
period. He said some local medical
institutions would find themselves
''in serious difficulties" if they did
not take steps TO bring revenues
and expenses back in line.
Mr.. Garrett said his agency was
attempting to persuade the hospitals
they should increase their fees
gradually as costs move upward,
rather than hold back now and jolt
the public with large hikes later.
Present conditions indicate that
some imitation" in hospital and
clinic charges is inevitable, he de-
clared.
To Fight Profiteering.
However, the H. s. A. does not in
tend to ignore disproportionate ad-
vances, Mr.. Garrett emphasized.
I'VE take the position that there
must be no profiteering in medical
care" he said.
Hospitals must not be permitted
to apply supply demand prin-
ciples and raise charges because
there is a shortage of beds, for ex-
ample, he continued.
Mr.. Garrett gave increases IN
prices of drugs and in salaries which
must be paid to get satisfactory
clerical employees as among factors
in the rise of expense of Washing
ton institutions.
An accident and compensation
clinic recently raised from so cents
to rs cents its fee for the physical
examinations required of taxicab
drivers by the Public Utilities Com
mission. The physician operating
| the clinic said the former charge
had been "ridiculously low when
asked the reason for the increase
He explained he had wanted tc
/ keep the rate at the absolute
minimum, in consideration for the
drivers low incomes and the fact
they are obliged to undergo the
check-up annually. even though
they may be in perfect health.
He pointed out that the eXamina-
tions took time from his regular
practice. although they were by no
means thorough. The P. U. c. re-

Senator Smith Tells
Farmers 10 Work
For Better Prices
Two-Doy Conference
On Growers Problems Z.
Is Opened Here

Chairman Smith of the Senate
Agriculture Committee today told
representatives Of the Nations farm
ers they had been harboring an Sin
feriority complex" He exhorted
them to form an united front and
agree on the minimum return they
would accept for their products.
Officials of agricultural depart
ments in more than three-fourths of
the States. as well as of national
farm organizations, heard the South
Carolina Senator declare farmers
had become resigned to taking what
was offered. They had gathered in
the Raleigh Hotel for two-day con-
ference, called by Senator Thomas,
Democrat, of Oklahoma, to obtain
opinions on farm price formulas
and related problems.
You don't sell anything" Sem
ator Smith said. you produce the
goods and deliver them at the other
fellows price"
He contended farmers are best
fitted to decide what is fair return
and urged them to resist determina-
ton of prices by any pne not ac-
quainted with their situation. He
placed Price Administrator Leon
Henderson in this class, saying:
HE doesn't know q cotton stalk
from a jimSon weed"
20 tNtaraStld in
parity income than in parity prices, !"
Senator Bankhead, Democrat, of
Alabama said. He said large metro
politan newspapers were champion
ing ceiling on farm prices particu-
larly, because their interests lay
with industry and the urban con-
sumer.
Senator Thomas, who opened the
meeting, presented a proposed bill
for computing parity on the basis
Of the years l919-l929, but said he
would welcome suggestions for
changes or replacement by a differ
ent scheme He asked the delegates
also to consider what should be done
with farm commodity stocks now
held by the Government.
Senator Gillette, Democrat, of
Iowa said those who hold the view
industry should not be restricted as
to profits but should have excess
profits recaptured by taxation re-
fused to consider applying the same
principle to farm profits.
Senators Capper, Republican, of
Kansas; Bulow, Democrat, of South
Dakota and Aiken, Republican. of
Vermont also were present for open
ing of the session.
After their remarks, the group
began informal discussions which
were expected to continue through
the day.

More Drastic Curbs
Planned 10 Reduce
InstaI|ment Buying
Federal Reserve Boord
Considers Larger Down
Payments, Shorter Time

BY the Associated Press.
Another twist on the screws hold
ing down consumer installment
credit appeared to be imminent
today.
Authoritative indications from
the Federal Reserve Board were
that minimum down payments
might be increased and maximum
time to pay the balance might be
reduced on some articles. The Re-
serve Board was said to be getting
ready for a decision within the next
10 days.
The present regulations apply only
to installment purchases of "a types
of goods, ranging from both new
and used automobiles to new furni-
ture and radios. The rules specify
what percentage of the purchase
price should be paid down-for in
stance, 331a per cent on automo-
blles and 10 per cent on furniture
and how long a time should be al
lowed to pay the balance-18 months
In each case under present rules.
Would Plug LOOpholes.
One change being studied would
plug up what some officials consider
loophole in the down payment
rules. The present regulations per-
NIT person to borrow the price
OF a new car or other article from
oank or finance company and
then to escape the down payment
restriction by paying that cash to
the dealer or merchant.
II man buys 5000 car from a
dealer on time he must paw at least
$500 down. But if he goes to q
bank and borrows 5000 he can nav
the dealer the full amount. In this
case he makes no down pavment
out owes the bank 5000 instead of
owing the dealer 5000 after making
a $500 down payment.
The board may require banks and
others who make cash loans to get
written promises from borrowers
tnat the loans will not be used to
evade the down payment rules An.
parently, the board is not consider
ing any change in that part of its
regulations which exempt alto
sether consumer purchases on open
credit or charge accounts.
Little Curtailment Seen.
Impetus for stiffening the present
credit terms on automobiles. radios
and such items was said to come
from several officials who doubt
whether the first regulations, which
became effective September l, have
had any restrictive effect on public
buying habits.
Some officials took the view that
the initial rules were made inten-
tlonally easy so that the public and
the stores could get acquainted with
the idea without too much diff

quires only that the examining doc
tor answer a series of questions
which would disclose defects en-
dangering the health or safety of
other motor vehicle operators, cab
passengers or pedestrians.
The clinic doctor said he finally
found he could not afford the loss
represented by the 50-cent fee. He
contended the 75-cent charge is
we'll below the fee a driver would be
obliged to pay if he went to private
physician for the examination.
When told of the boost, persons
acquainted with costs of giving medi-
cal attention expressed the opinion
this explanation was valid. The
operator Of another clinic said he
would charge a So fee for the ex-
animation in most cases.
The drivers have favored the
establishment which made the 25-
cent increase because of the low
fee and because it is near several
of the large cab company lots. A
photographer, who also is a notary
is located next door. The cabbies
find this a convenient arrangement
since they must furnish the P. U. C
with profile and full-face pictures
and have a form notarized.
Hospitals Used.
Some drivers get their examina-
tionS at the clinics of Emergency
Garfield, Providence. Georgetown
and George Washington University
Hospitals. They may have to pay
slightly more than rs cents. as
low as so cents or even be given
the service free, depending on theil
capacities TO pay. The hospital
clinics try to cleave to the line ot
operating cost. The cost to them
per visit averages from so to 72
cents, according to Mr.. Garrett.
When medical services are per-
formed below cost, the Health Sc.
curity Administration supplies the
difference from Community Chest
funds in the cases of persons GER
tilted by cooperating agencies a:
unable to pay part or all of the
usual fee.

Triple Golf Tourney
Slated Tomorrow
Al Beaver Dam
Pro Cards 30 on Nine-HoIe
Quontico Links; School
Teams Stage Windup

Initial one-day tournament of the
Maryland State Golf Association
comes up tomorrow over the wide
open acres of Beaver Dam Country
Club of Landover. Md, where big
field will play in three events staged
by the State Links Organization. A
pro sweepstakes, an amateur-pro
and an 18-hole medal play event for
amateurs will be included, and all
participants must have a State Golf
Association 1941 handicap card. The
next one-day affair will be held
June 4 at Rolling Road.
When a good golfer shoots nine
hole course in the par of 36, you
wouldn't expect him to be licked.
And certainly you wouldn't even
guess he'd be 6 down. 1t happened
at Quantico, Va, where Capt. j. B.
Pollard. one of the best of the Navy
linksmen. scored the 36 and was 6
down to Danny Burton. the club pro.
who sizzled as he walloped the ball
around the Marine base layout in
30 strokes.
Danny's score for the 18 holes was
40-30-70, which is under par. On
the second nine he was knocking the
ball so close to the pin he didn't
have much putting to do.
1t. j. B. Schrier won a point
tourney at Quantico with 46 points.
Four high school golf matches to-
day were to wind up the schedule
of the schoolboy teams as the lads
look ahead to the week end and the
individual metropolitan champion
ship coming up at three clubs Fri
day. Saturday and Sunday. The
team championships are settled, and
today's matches have no bearing on
anything except the final standings
of the teams. Roosevelt has won
the Dawes Cup and the Washington
high school championship, while
Georgetown Prep is the titleholder
among the private schools and the
high schools outside of the city.
Todays scheduled matches are.
Bladensburg VS.. st. Adams. at
Beaver lam, WESTERN VS. AildCOStld,
at Kenwood Central VS.. Tech, at
Woodmont; Wilson VS.. Western, at
Manor.
The last-mentioned match may
decide the runnerup team to Roose-
welt in the Dawes Cup series.
Entries for the individual cham
pionship should be sent to Francis
x. Emmett, at Gaithersburg, Md.
The tourney will open Friday with
an 18-hole qualifying round at Ken
wood, with two match rounds to
follow Saturday at Manor Semi
final and final rounds are slated for
Sunday at Congressional. Defend
ing champ and favorite will be Earle
Skinker of Dewitt.

Prep Tennis Meet Hit
As Three Seeded
Stars Default
Bensineer Overwhelming
Fuvorite With Field
Close to Semis

Default of three seeded stars and
the early elimination of three others
has left the annual prep school
tennis tournament at Georgetown
Prep with only two outstanding
favorites, despite that three quarter
final matches remain to be played.
Most of the competition dropped
out of the tourney yesterday when
second and thirdseeded Reggie
Cooper and Taylor Chewing Of St.
Adams notified officials they would
not be able to compete because Of
final exams. Ted BraWner of Lam
don, Bill Baldwin of the host school
and Ed Hickerson of Devitt-seeded
fourth, seventh and eighth. respec-
tively-all were beaten in the first
round and John Norris of St Johns,
seeded sixth, was another defaulter.
Bensinger Big Favorite.
Fifth-seeded Emmett Sheehan of
Gonzaga thus remains as the lone
seeded threat to defending cham
pion Bobby Bensinger, who becomes
more of a favorite than ever to eX-
tend his sway over local schoolboy
racketers. Providing Sheehan gets
by a teammate, Ed Erwin, in one
of tomorrow's three quarterfinal
matches, he will meet Bensinger in
the semis
Bensinger is an overwhelming
choice to whip his Friends team
mate, Jack Seybold, in another
quarterfinal engagement.
Despite stubborn stand by lit
tie Compton Jones of Friends, Sam
Doyle of st. Albans became the
first to enter the semifnal round
yesterday when he won, 6-1. 1871.
His seminal opponent will be
either Larry Curley of Gonzaga or
Mahlon Tarleton Of St. Johns.
TarletOn Scores Easily.
Armand Newmyer of Friends gave
Sheehan stiff battle yesterday be-
fore finally losing 81, So, but
other victims subcumbed rather
easily.
Gardner jackson Of Landon
whipped Billy Bernard of Friends,
81, 81, but doubling-up proved
too much for the victor and he
was licked 6-3. 6-1, by Tarleton.
Bensinger routed Joe Genovese OF
Gonzaga in love sets, Sterling Lee
Of st. Adams was Ervin's victim by
60, 60 scores and Delos Smith
Of Friends defaulted to Seybold.
