Martin 4. broadfoot,
Dean Of 4. P. Bureau
In Washington, Dies
Broved Snowstorm to Get
To Baltimore to Send News
Of Toft's Inauguration
By the Associated Press.

s, the Associated Press.
Martin A. Broadfoot. So. dean of
the Washington Bureau Of the As
sociated Press in point OF service.
died yesterday at his home, 9 West
Windsor avenue, Alexandria, after
a career that spanned most of the
big news from the Nations Capital
during the last AZ years.
A veteran telegraph operator of
the old days, Mr.. Broadfoot in re-
cent years acted as "dictation man."
to whom reporters telephoned ur-
gent stories and supervised the phys
ical routine of the busy office.
Mr.. Broadfoot liked to recall how
he braved snowstorm to take the
news of the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Taft to Baltimore for dissent
nation to the world when broken
telegraph lines isolated Washington.
Washington was marooned with
the big news story of the day he
recounted. Roads were blocked.
Automobiles were at a premium.
There was only one way to get the
story out Of the Capital. I was
handed a sheaf of news and fare
for the 40-mile trolley ride to Bal
timore.
Even with the snow plows OPEN
ing the way, the short trip took
| three hours. Still Baltimore-and
the Nation-got its first word that
Taft indeed was President when /
| got there"
He was at the telegraph key when
the Wright brothers arranged to
test the Army's first airplane on a
! course five miles long from Fort
Myer to Alexandria.
One of his duties during the
World War and again in the current
conflict was to direct preparation
and distribution of casualty lists.

0PA Puts 60-Day
Price Ceiling on
FIue-Cured Tobacco
Henderson Acts to Holt
Runaway Market on Leaf
Used in Cigarettes
By the Associated Press


Price Administrato tor Henderson,
reported the product in grave
danger of runaway market" yes
terday placed f1ue-cured leaf to-
bacco under temporary 60-day price
ceiling at current levels.
Mr.. Henderson said the regulation
was intended to stop an upward
trend which already had carried
f1ue-cured prices to levels not
reached since 1919 Flue-cured leaf
tobacco is used almost entirely in
the manufacture of cigarettes.
With the concurrence of Secretary
of Agriculture Wickard, Mr.. Hen
derson issued an order that for the
next 60 days, no private purchaser
may buy flue-cured tobacco on any
loose-leaf market at prices averag.
ing higher than his weighted aver
age price on purchases made be-
tween August "a and Auguct 2S,
inclusive.
Auctions Recognized.
In applying the ceiling to pur-
chasers, rather than sellers, the
OPA recognized the long standing
practice of marketing leaf tobacco
at public auctions where purchasers
bid and set the price.
While the temporary regulation
is in effect, Mr.. Henderson said,
OPA will hold discussions with pro-
ducers, Warehousemen and pur-
nf
ing a permanent regulation. He
added that it was not contemplated
that any permanent order would
impose a ceiling lower than that set
by the temporary regulation.
The temporary ceiling does not
apply to purchases made for the
Commodity Credit Corp. or to pur
chases of loose leaf tobacco, which,
in turn, is resold in loose leaf form
at regular auction warehouses. The
latter exclusion exempts small pur-
chases by operators who claim, re-
grade and resell. These so-called
"pinhook transactions" are covered
by the ceiling upon resale.
Government Buying.
The Commodity Credit Corp. is
expected to buy more than 200,-
100000 pounds of f1ue-cured leaf
tobacco during the remainder Of
the current marketings season. Up
wards of rs per cent of the f1ue-
cured crop remains to be marketed,
the OPA said.
"Today's action is taken under the
stress of emergency conditions" Mr..
Henderson said. THE trend taken
by flue-cured tobacco prices since
the current market season began in
dicates that there is grave danger
of a runaway market. Prices are
about IS per cent above those of
last season and have now reached
levels not seen since 1919.
Prices also are several cents a
pound above the levels of October
l, 194l, which is the highest of the
four ceiling standards set for flue-
cured tobacco as an agricultural
product under the Emergency Price
Control Act of 1942.

. Secretary Wickard's Big Job

There was nothing premature or i'm
petuous about the appointment of Sec
rotary Claude Wickard as Food Admins
TRAITOR The wisdom of the presidents
selection may arouse debate; there are
both farmers and city folks who have
limited faith in Mr.. Wickard's profundity
and administrative ability. But the
necessity to have somebody delegated to
bring order into the chaos of our food
shortages would seem beyond question.
Even those who have been impatient
about the administration hesitancy to
step firmly into troubled waters general
ly find excuses for the long delay.
Probably that is because foodstuffs-
meats. grains. dairy products in particular
seemed to be the one type of raw mate
rial Of which there never could be a short
age in this country.
For close to quarter of a century we
have been glutted by SURPRISES of these
commodities. When all else was serene,
We always could get up good stiff perspi-
ration trying TO solve the farm problem"
so that city folks could afford the food
they needed. while farmers could get
enough income to buy the products of in
dustry. We tried subsidies, but never did
we get out from under the burden of over
production of foodstuffs.
So even when the pinch began to get
painful, We remained under the opiate of
established convictions, and could not con-
vince ourselves that there ever would be
need to ration domestic farm products.
There is no danger of starvation in this
country. But there is, in the near offing,
the probability of a most embarrassing
and annoying situation concerning several
basic foodstuffs.
1t is Mr.. Wickard's job to gallop to the
rescue. to see that relatively small num-
Der of selfish boarders is not permitted to
hide away foodstuffs so that the greater
number find nothing but bare shelves in
the stores.

= Mayor Cain Looks at Steel

When Mayor Harry p. Cain looks into
the possibilities for establishment Of
steel mill in Tacoma he is treading a trail
blazed by the pioneer industrialists here.
As The Times pointed out in an editorial
Nov. 80 the reason there is not a steel
mill on Puget Sound today is not because
of the lack of the raw materials. The real
reason is that the steel trust didn't want
to let any business get away from the
plants in the east. And because hauling
the steel out here was good business for
the freight division. the railroads short
sightedly sided with the steel trust and
threw a couple of monkey wrenches into
the new projects in the Northwest.
The result was that those who attempt
ed to pioneer the steel industry on Puget
Sound went broke. Some of them were
threatened with prosecution because stock
holders lost their money, too.
All this happened before there were
any laws against conspiracies TO kill off
threatened competition. In the business
world might was right, and the money
boys were ruthless in dealing with any
project that threatened to interfere with
their profits.
Things are different now, and the war
is going to make still greater changes.
Mayor Cain and the planning commission
can do nothing better than to look deep
down into the possibilities for establish
ing the steel industry on Puget Sound
