OPA Head To Curb
Jim Crow" Prices
Survey Shows Food Costs
More In Harlem Than
Other Sections

Washington, d. e. ULNS) Under
questioning from Rep. Louis Ludlow
Of Indiana, Price Administrator Leon
Henderson said that the Office Of Price
Administration will undertake to
eliminate" discrimination agai ms /
Negroes in higher prices charged for
food, when the OPA has evidence Of
such practices, it was revealed here.
Rep. Ludlow said on the floor Of the
House Of Representatives., Sept. Z, that
he had questioned the OPA director as
early as June II, when he appeared
before the subcommittee on deticien-
cieS.
Stating that Negro leaders had told
him that Negroes pay u per cent more
i'm some chain stores than do whites,
Congressman Ludlow asked Hendnr-
son what the OPA would do about it.
HendersOn'S answer was that his
agency had not at that date had such
complaints but ''if there is any such
case we will take appropriate action.
Basis for Ludlow's Sept. Z speech
was the recently published National
Association for the Advancement of
tOlored People pamphlet Food Costs
more in Harlem" a comparative study
of retail food prices in Harlem and
other New York areas, showing that
| food prices in the Negro section are
consistently higher than those in other
economically comparable sections.

Wedding GuestsWoit Six Hours
For Bridegroom on YuIe Train
Determined Fiuncee
Holds Reception
Before He Arrives

When Corpl Milford Stein, former
Bureau OF Engraving employe, didn't
show up for his wedding at o'clock
last night at the Takoma Luthern
Church, his bride-t -to-be. 19-vear-old
Bertha Banck of 63l9 Eighth street
NV, waited for six hours end held
the wedding reception before he ar
rived.
For nearly two hours she and some
2C0 wedding guests remained at the
church, singing hymns and pa
triotic songs and momentarily ex-
pecting Corpl Stein, who was en-
route from Fort Mcclellan. Ala.
Several of the guests recited poetry.
About $50 pm, with the prospec-
tive bridegroom still among the
missing, guests and attendants re-
paired to the brides home nearby
where for another three hours they
attended the wedding reception and
inspected the wedding presents.
Finally. at 1875 am. Corp. Stein,
tired and dustry after 81 consecu-
tive hours of battling Christmas
railroad traffic jam, alighted from
train and rushed to his home at
6907 Sixth street NV, hoping to
cleanup quickly before the wedding
ceremony. Finding the house dark
and locked, he continued to the
church, where shortly before 2 am.
the nuptial ceremony took place
witnessed by number of still faith
full guests.
Last night marked the third time
the couple had attempted to marry,
a fact which, according to the brides
mother, Mrs. w. H. Banck, might
have had something to do with her
daughters determination not to
have further postponement.
The wedding originally was sched-
uled for November %, but the bride
groom could not get leave from
his duties at Fort Mcclellan. The
date, then was set for last night, but
Saturday evening Corpl. Stein tele-
graphed that his leave had been
Cancelled and Sunday in church the
announcement was made that the
ceremonies again had been Cancelled
Then Uncle Sam relented. And
Monday the corporal telephoned that
he was on his way to Washington
for the wedding.
Train Five EJurs Late.
Had he been able to leave the
Army post as planned, Corpl. Stein
would have been in Washington
yesterday morning, in plenty of time
Ior his wedding. The delay in get
ting away changed his scheduled
time Of arrival to 7:30 pm. yester-
day, just one-half hour before the
ceremonies were to be held. Then
the train was late.
Adding to the mixup was the fact
that the train was divided into two
sections One section arrived on
time, but Corpl. Stein was on the
other, which was more than five
hours late.
Mrs. Banck says she was worried
even after every one had decided
that the bridegroom must be on

Burke Sees Little
Delivery Delay in
Record Yu|e Mail
Outgoing First-CIuss
Holiday Letter Total
Here Set at IS, ,000, 900

While the volume of Chriltmas
mail here this year has reached an
all-time record, no serious delay in
delivery is expected by Postmaster
Vincent o. Burke beyond delays of
perhaps three or four days in certain
instances.
Deliveries are current on mail
actually received at the City Post
Office, Mr.. Burke said, but he added
that more than 100 cars of Yule
packages are standing on local tracks
today waiting to be unloaded.
First-class letter mail, including
cards, originating here or actually
mailed in Washington. through the
first % days of December amounted
to approximately 55.000.000 pieces,
against 100000 last year, Post
master Burke said,
In turn, this year a total of ap-
proximately 655 900 sacks of parcel
post, each containing an average of
10 packages. were mailed here dur
ing the first % days of the month
against 489 900 sacks mailed during
the corresponding period last year.
The number of parcel post sacks
received this year for delivery here
was listed at approximately 5000
against 101 900 over the 23-day Pc
riod last year. This, Mr. Burke feels.
indicates there are some 10000 to
5000 yet to be received. His eSti-
mate was based on the increase in
population here and other factors.
Letter mail received during the
23-day period for delivery here
amounts to approximately $4,000 900
pieces this year. against $4,000, 900
last year. he said, OF the total, about
100000 pieces, were mailed for
delivery.
In order to delay mail deliveries as
little as possible, the Railroad Mail
Service, the Washington City Post
Office and the railroads have crews
working at unloading cars in the
lexington yards, it was explained.
While there may be delays of sew
eral days in certain instances, long
delays are not anticipated, Mr..
Burke explained. Some of the long
delays, he said, may arise from a
railroad car, bearing mail, not being
reached for several days.
Postmaster Burke said he ex-
pected the mail rush to continue
for several days after Christmas,
but felt the bulk Of the rush would
be over by then.

New Plan for
Penny Milk
Continuance Of
School Program
Up to Wickurd

A revised penny milk program
which will provide milk for about
25,000 District school children next
year awaited approval today of
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
end Food Distribution Administrator
Roy F. Hendrickson The department
announced yesterday that favorable
bids had been received from several
dairieS here.
The present program in local
schools expires next Thursday, and
until yesterdays announcement it
appeared the project would have to
be abandoned.
An Agriculture Department Off
cial said today that the plan now
being studied is similar to the penny
milk program In opera ton here last
year, and would result in an appreci-
able saving to the District govern
ment
At present the District is paying
two dairies 23 and "a cents per
half pint for bottling, pasteurizing
and delivering milk to schools. The
department, in turn, has been pay
ing milk producers 19 cents per
half pint of the milk.
1t now is proposed that the de-
partment pay the farmers a per-
centage OF the handling costs, the
official said. The Districts share
thus will be reduced. One estimate
placed the cost to the city at about
1.2 cents per half pint.
School children pay l cent for
the milk which is served each school
day. The department reported
yesterday that during October,
656,442 half pints were consumed
in District schools under the pro-
gram.
Commissioner Guy Mason re-
ported several weeks ago that the
penny milk project would have to
be discontinued with the expira-
ton of current contracts with
dairies. The reported milk short
age and withdrawal of WPA labor
were given as reasons for the de-
cision.
Yesterdays announcement revived
hopes of continuance of the pro-
gram, which it has been estimated
will benefit more than $4,000
children.
The program is being admin
istered by the newly created Food
Distribution Administration.
