residence Of Elmer johnson. deputy

The scrap metal, collected by 90
AFRAID messenger boys, represents
one OF the largest single collections
in the District. Unable to estimate
It's weight, Mr.. johnson and his as
sistant, Blake B. Espey, who is in
charge of the afraid messenger
service for the area, figure the pile
totals "at least several tons"
Conservative estimates place the
collection at 10 tons.
The collection includes the con-
ventional list of items, plus such un-
usual objects as ships anchor,
German helmet, movie camera and
hair clipper.
Relayed Through Wardens.
Mr.. johnson set the plan in motion
through the eight woman daytime
zone wardens of the Brightwood area,
who, in turn, passed on suggestions
to SO sector wardens. From the
sector wardens, plans were relayed
to 90 messenger boys under the di-

man, $40 Tuckerman street NV
The three boys are students at

Preliminary planning, which In
cluded a survey of the scrap metal

The messengers then started collec-

Pork Prices Also
BY the Associated Press.


DES MONIES Iowa. April g.
Francis Johnson, president of the
Iowa Farm Bureau Federation and
chairman of the National Livestock
Marketing Committee of the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau, asked the Office
of Price Administration today to
extend price control of pork and
pork products to retail markets.
Mr.. Johnson, in letter to o. P. A,
declared price control on sales "over
the counter" is necessary to prevent
profiteering.
I'VE have no complaint with re-
gard to the attempt to control prices
OF hogs and pork" the farm leader
said, nor any complaint with re-
gard to the place where the ceilings
were placed. We are in complete
sympathy with the movement, but
believe that every effort should be
made to pass the benefits gained by
it on to the consumers of pork and
pork products. including lard"
Mr.. johnson called upon o. P. A.
to establish reasonable retail mar
gins on the basis of grade and other
classifications and to announce fair
retail prices so consumers can
check up" on retail distributors.
Temptation for retail profiteer-
ing in pork products is almost cer-
tain to take place with curtailed
pork supplies resulting from lease
lend shipments and greatly expand
ed consumer demand" Mr.. johnson
asserted.

the organization net income this

said he favored merger of telegraph
companies.
The executive. A. N. Williams, said
a decrease in the company's Feb
ruary earnings was due entirely to
increased taxes and rising cost of
operations.
Asserting that mergers of tele-
graph companies have been pro-
hibited many years because of the
Sherman antitrust law, Mr.. Will
liams said he favored recommended
ton of the Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee that Congress
enact legislation permitting such
mergers.
He named the three principal tele-
graph companies, in order of their
volume of business, as the Western
Union, Bell Telephone System and
Postal Telegraph Co.
1--WE believe" he said "there is no
reason why the telegraph should not
have the same privileges to merge
or consolidate as the telephone, the
light and power industry and the
railroad companies, all of which
have had such privileges MANY
years.
