Republican, of North Dakota for an
investigation of retail farm COM
modify prices In Washington. to find
out how they compare with what the
farmer gets, is awaiting action by
the Senate Agriculture Committee.
After introducing the resolution
late yesterday Senator Nye explained

where consumer prices shol%t be
studied because he thought the in
quiry could be conducted easier and
quicker here, and would be repre-
sentative of all large cities"
IT want to demonstrate who is
getting the increases contributing to
the present cost OF living" he said,
adding his own belief that the re-
suits will show the farmer is re-
ceiving only small part OF the in
crease He indicated he did not Sc
lect the District because he thought
the situation here would be greatly
different from other large cities.

tured in whole or substantial part
from agricultural commodities,
compare with the prices received by
farmers for such agricultural COM
modities.
Expenses Limited to $4,000.
THE committee shall report to the
Senate at the earliest practicable
date the results of such investiga-
ton, together with its recommenda-
tions, If any, for necessary legisla-
tion.

ieal and other assistance, to re-
quire by subpoena or otherwise the
attendance of such witnesses and
the production OF such correspond
ence, books, papers and documents,

sidered a model for smaller. rural
high schools.

! that Montgomery Blair has gone far
in mobiliZing its students for more

pointed to sponsor the formation
of high school victory corps
throughout the country. the Mont

ganization of the school program

gested by Mr.. Studebaker's group
New classes in welding, pre- flight

son declared Yesterday that coupon
rationing of gasoline in the East had

age Of 5,170 a year. only slightly
above the 5.0oo-mile annual limit

Meanwhile, OPA announced that
the new fuel oil rationing plan will
divide the heating season into five
periods to enable home owners to
budget rations accurately through
the winter.
Valid for Certain Periods.
Coupons numbered one to five
will be issued for specific periods.
and will be valid only in those Pc
riods. Provision will be made. how
ever, for cold snaps. In this ar
rangement If the demand is unusu-
ally heavy for oil in one period,
hoaeeholders win be allowed to bor-
row from the subsequent period.
The work of registre ton for oil
rationing is expected to be started
about October Is. Home owners,
however, must fill their tanks be-
fore October and will be charged
with the amount of oil in tanks on
that date in computation of rations
for the year.
The District. Maryland and Vir-
ginia are placed in OPA,s C thermal
zone. The heating periods in this
zone will expire on the following
dates: Period l, December 8; perioe

County tMd.) voters indorsing the
five candidates nominated by the
County Charter Committee for cleo
ton to a proposed charter board
was on file today with the Board

thesda. and Thomas M. Anderson,
Rockville, former Juvenile Court
judge and the only Republican on

already have selected their candi-
dates, final approval will be up to
the voters, who also will decide
whether a charter board shall be
established.

hold public hearings on provisions
to be included in a proposed charter.

before the voters at the general
