Office of Price Administration and
Civilian Supply, predicted yester-
day continued increase in the
price index" and a rising cost of
living, but not a price spiral suf-
ficiently violent to be called in
f1ation.
He declared the one tool to keep
prices in line" despite threatened
shortages of consumer goods, was
the fixing of price ceilings on COM
modities rising above safe levels.
The price administrator indicat-
ed he was not disturbed by demands
Of congressional group. headed by
Senator Smith, Democrat, of South
Carolina, that price fixing be post
poned until Congress authorized a
definite policy.
Mr.. Henderson said his reaction
was that I'VE will continue busi-
ness as usual" He added. however
that he would further any policy
laid down by Congress.
Senator Smith, meanwhile, re-
newed his criticism of Mr.. Hender-
sons activities, saying he has no
right or warrant under law to fix
the ceiling on any article of COM
merce in America"

Possible u. ). Ally

He is Ready to Fight
For American Defense
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, July a.
Charles A. Lindbergh, denouncing
Russia and European entangle-
ments, pleaded for IAN independent
destiny for America" amid pro-
longed applause at an overflow mass
meeting sponsored by the America
First Committee here last night.
The crowd filled the $4,000 seats
of the Civic Auditorium before the
meeting began and overf1owed into
the street where they listened to
outdoor loudspeakers. About 1000
seats were free.
The audience roared its loudest
approval when Mr.. Lindbergh de-
clared:
Il would a hundred times rather
see my country ally herself with
England. or even with Germany
with all her faults, than with the
cruelty, the Godlessness and the
barbarlsm that exist in Soviet
Russia.
But there is one thing upon
which we can agree, upon which
we are not divided, and that is
that we are ready to fight for
America if the need should ever
arise"
Lindbergh quoted Jefferson's s
statement that the countries of Eu-
rope ARE nations of eternal war"
and reiterated Washington warm
ing against European entangle-
ments."
Mr.. Lindbergh responded with
engaging grins to the ovation which
greeted him and his wife. the for
mer Anne Morrow, as they took
their places on the platform with
other speakers: Author Kathleen
Norris. Actress Lillian Gish and
Senator Clark of Idaho.
But his mouth wore grim lines
when he spoke of ''interventionist
propaganda" commenting:
"A refugee who steps from the
gangplank and advocates war is ac-
claimed as a defender of freedom
A native-born American who op-
poses war is called a fifth COL
umnist.'

mander of the second precinct, fol-
lowed Inspector Stott on the wit
ness stand. and almost at the outset
agreed with a statement yesterday
by Chairman Schultz that his pre-
cinct is one of the toughest in
| town."
Mr.. Hebert first asked him whether
he knew anything about the
"Gestapo' in the Police Depart
ment.
Il only know about it from hear
say" he replied. The men under
my command call these men snoop-
ers."
Capt. Sullivan, pressed by Mr..
Hebert. said he believed there is
such an organization" as Gestapo
in the department. but declared it
had not had any effect on the
morale of the officers under his COM
mand.
Il think" he added II have the
best group of men in the depart
ment."
81 Murders in Three Years.
Capt. Sullivan revealed there had
been 81 murders in his precinct since
he took command in July. 1898.
Fifty-six of these were cleared, he
said leaving only Ave unsolved. The
officers in his own precinct, he ex-
planned. solved 36 of the murders
and members of the Detective Bu-
reau the other 20.
The captain said murder is a
common practice" in his precinct,
which is infested with "transients
who come into it in the morning and
are gone at pm. and commit
crime
We have got places in the second
precinct where you gentlemen would
not dare to go into in the daytime. :"
he declared. My officers go out in
pairs for their own protection"
Capt Sullivan agreed with In
spector Stott that Washington has
a good Police Department, except
that he went ste pfurther and de-
scribed it as excellent"

declared, is 100 per cent. 1 have
got good, loyal and efficient men,"
Tour Invitation Accepted.
Later, Capt Sullivan invited men,
bers of the committee to make a
tour of the precinct with him. some
hot Saturday night and observed
just haw tough it is.
Representative Sauthoff immedi-
ately accepted the invitation.
Capt. Sullivan also told the COM
mittee that pressure groups had
tried to have him transferred to an
other precinct. The effort, he said.
was made some time ago after one
of his officers killed a man who re-
sisted arrest The officer was abb
solved by the coroner's jury, and
the grand jury ignored the case.
Mr.. Hebert asked if colored per-
sons expected to be "coddled." After
hesitating, Capt. Sullivan replied.
"Yes. sir, they expect to be handled
easily by the white officers"
Sullivan Himself Attacked.
He said that one of his men, who
arrested a colored man. was sur
rounded at the call box by a group
who shouted, Don't you dare hit
| him"
Did he hit him?" asked Mr.. He
bert.
Il don't know" replied the captain.
Capt. Sullivan himself was at
tackled one night by some boys as he
was going home, he told the COM
mittee. He admitted he did not ar
rest the BOYS, but sought medical
attention for wrist injured in the
melee, instead.
