Dealers Here Rescind
Summer Buying Price
On Anthracite Coal
More in Line With O. P. A.
Order to Operators
AboIishine Reduction

The reduction in the price Of an
thracite coal in effect here since
April ! to induce summer buying
was rescinded by local coal dealers,
effective today. The move Is in line
with an order OF the once of Price
Administration abolishing the reduc-
ton in the price being received by
anthracite operators.
Alonzo Patrick Brown, head of
the coal division of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association, said
the price now goes back to the win
ter level of $l376 per gross ton on
stove, nut and egg sizes, and to
$l19l on the pea size. The prices
sirce April have been So cents
lower per ton.
Mr.. Brown explained that the o.
p, A. rescinded the reduction after
anthracite operators submitted evil
dence which showed they could not
mine coal at the reduced prices. The
reduction was to serve as q spur to
users to stock up In the summer to
relieve later demands on transpor-
tation facilities, already heavily
taxed bv war goods.
MIR. Brown said that Washington
merchants have been unable to I'LL
all the orders which have been
placed during the last few weeks and
the price increase finds many of
them with orders still to be delivered.
He said, however, that such deiiv-
cries will have to be made at the
new, higher price because the deal
ers cannot afford to absorb the in
crease which the operators are put
ting into effect Immediately.
Nevertheless, local coal dealers
feel 1t Is urgent that consumers
stock up even at the higher prices to
help the war effort, Mr.. Brown said.

in which he said that, to judge from
the experience in that country, price
control will not be successful if ap-
preached from the standpoint of
group interests rather than those OF
the entire Nation.
The letter to the President was
signed by Edward A. O'Neal, presi-
dent of the American Farm Bureau
Federation; Albert S. Goss, master
of the National Grange, and H. E
Babcock, president of the National
Council Of Farmer Co-operatives
who said that unless farmers can
pay adequate farm wages" essential
production will continue to de-
cline."
Objectives Rarely Met.
The Brookings study said the
political influence of one or an
other group, chiefly the farmers and
city wage earners, has determined
the way in which price control prob
lens have been dealt with in France
Rarely have the objectives been
fully achieved and then only fol
brief periods" it explained. cal
though the cost of living was con-
trolled at times, it was generally
at the expense of retailers"
The study points out that the
period of governmental price con-
troll in France was an era of CEN
tralization Of power in the execu-
tive at the expense of Parliament
Since the fall of France, price
control has been regarded chiefly
as an aid to stimulating production
OF foodstuffs. the study says.

Indiana Crash Kills

GREENCASTLE, Ind, Sept. al (P).
Three airmen were killed in an
Army plane which crashed on an
abandoned golf course just east Of

Grafton Longden. on whose farm
the plane crashed, said it had been
flying over Greencastle before it flew
low and crashed few hundred
feet in front Of his home. The plane
plowed a deep furrow into the field,
he said.
Maj. John Schimmel at Stout

three men as 1t. D. M. Steel, 1t.
Thomas George Murphy and Corpl
N. C. Myer. He said the three
were from Baer Field at Fort Wayne,
Ind, and were on routine train
ing flight.
Maj. Schimmel said he did not
know the home addresses of the
men, but State police said 1t. Steel
was from Stockton, Calf; Corpl.

Budget
Continued From First Page

with the commissioners year ago.
A proposal that the District re-
quest an appropriation of $3.50 900
to establish what would be the be-
ginning of District university was
advanced by Walter Trey and David
T. Blose, sr., of the Takoma Park
Citizens Association. They sug-
gested the sum be used to establish
a junior college at Central High
School, to be operated in the late
afternoon and evening, as a first
step toward college course.
Savings in Gas, Tires.
Mr.. Keneipp, in advocating sus-
pension OF automobile inspection,
declared the change should not re-
suit in any increase in accidents. He
| said an analysis of traffic accidents
in Washington between January l,
1928, and June 80, 1886, before the
inspection was started, showed that
"a per cent of cars involved in mis-
haps were found defective mechan-
ically. He said records for the last
fiscal year showed the same per-
centage was found mechanically de-
fective. He added that 10,074 of the
cars involved in accidents in the last
year carried approved" inspection
stickers on their windshields and
said that led him to believe that
drivers, not cars, are the danger
Gus elements.
Mr.. Keneipp said the loss of jobs
/ to some 46 inspectors and other
District employees would not be a
factor since there is "a crying
need" in almost all privately owned
garages for auto mechanics at
greater pay than the Districts.
Mr.. Keneipp supported the re-
quest OF Traffic Director William
A. Van Duzer for funds for the
i employment of five additional en-
| gineers on his staff.
Tax Increases Cited.
Mr.. Prettyman urged that out
lays be limited to the "strictest
necessities"
Every person, not only in the
District, but throughout the coun-
try, will be heavily burdened to
meet the rising cost of a wartime
Federal Government" Mr.. Pretty
man said. "At the same time, we
are being asked to contribute most
generously to the war effort by the
purchase of war bonds. This is en-
| t1rely as it should be-
Mr.. Prettyman added that while
almost all new construction would
be eliminated from the new budget,
1t would be difficult for the Commits
sioners to keep outlays and revenue
balanced. He said postponement of
capital improvements was sound, not
only because of priorities but because
Washington should not compete for
labor and materials on the presently
| rising market.
An increase in funds for the Health
Department, the Board of Trade
| spokesman said, was advisable be-
cause the population had grown so
fast in the last year. I'm our opin-
| ion," he said, lone of the worst dis
asters we could have In Washington

would endanger the financing Of
several Legion programs, including
work among crippled children.
1t was the only measure that went
to roll call. All the rest of them
were passed by overwhelming voice
votes.
The Legionnaires heard William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, say yesterday
that any worker who stops work for
a single minute is failing to carry
out the principles of the American
Federation of Labor. ,- .- . --
"Ninety-nine per cent Of our peo-
pie are helping us to keep the no
strike pledge we made to the Presi-
dent" he said.
Saying it was conceivable that the
Nation will lost two to three mil
lion men in the war, Gen. Ben Lear
of Memphis, commander of the I'd
Army. In a speech that followed
Mr.. Green's, asserted the Army must
weed out its leaders who cannot
stand the gaf because I'VE are late

part to break down your country's
ability to win this war. So obviously.
If you want a nation united for vic
tory, you will use your car only for
driving that you absolutely have
to do"
He said pet interests, money, COM
forts, advantages and business or
group interests-"none of these
things count any more"
"A production program as i'm
mense as the one we are now push
ing is almost infinitely complicated, )"
Mr.. Nelson went on. 1T doesn't al
ways run evenly, one part of 1t is
forever getting ahead of another
part, its unending drain on our sup
ply of materials keeps showing itself
in unexpected ways.
The war itself changes, plans
which are made in one month may
have to be changed six months later,
which means unavoidable waste of
time, energy and materials. But
war is always wasteful and unpre-
dictable.
Impossible Must Be Done.
I'VE have to pay for it as we go
along-and we have to realize that
the only way we can hope to win
is by constantly pushing our pro-
duction program beyond the limit
of our resources. We have to set
impossible goals, and then drive our
selves to meet them"
Yesterday the Legion voted to
open its membership to the present
veterans and to ask Congress to
amend its charter so it can be done
The action came by resolution
one of several approved by the con-
vention's $500 delegates. One of
them reaffirmed the Legion's stand
against strikes and discrimination
in employment at war production
plants
Civilian control of Japanese in
ternment camps was criticized and
the Legionnaires went on record
opposing any special privileges for
the Japanese under any pretext.
The question of a l943 convention
was left for the Executive Commit
see to decide.
Caucuses in advance of the annual
election today gave Roane Waring
Of Memphis, utility executive and
attorney. such commanding ad-
vantage for national commander
that the voting today is regarded as
a mere formality.
Dues Suspension Refused.
The Legion refused to suspend
dues to its 100000 members serving
in the armed forces. r. L. Gordon
OF Arkansas, finance chairman, said
suspension Of the 81 annual dues
