Senate Group Urges
Lifting Of Ceilings
On Poultry al Farms
BY the Associated Press.

The Senate Small Business Com
mittee recommended today that the
average national farm price ceiling
on poultry be increased from 281a
cents a pound to 80 cents. 1t sug-
gested that the armed forces requi-
sition at the ceiling price any poul-
try found in black markets
Existing OPA regulations cover
ing poultry are inadequate to main
tain a normal flow Of poultry from
producer to consumer, the COM
mittee said in recommending:
Ceiling prices be established for
Matching eggs and baby chicks, with
production costs calculated to in
clude feed costs.
Ceilings be placed at each level
OF operations to allow a reasonable
profit for each function;
Allowance be made to truck ham
dlers for shrinkage;
Present price differentials for
quick-frozen eviscerated poultry be
reviewed;
The industry put into effect VOL
untary systems of transportation
control and policing.
Following a study OF production
costs throughout the Nation" the
committee said, "it was deemed that
a fair and equitable ceiling price
at the farm level would be an aver
age. for the present. of 80 cents per
pound. This is to be adjusted up
ward in regions where necessary
Thus in some areas farm ceilings
might be higher than average due
to production costs in the region
This adjustment should be so ar
ranged that the serious situation
in the feed market would not be
aggravated by overexpansion OF
poultry production
The committee said the armed
forces have been unable to get ade-
quate poultry supplies and con-
tended that in requisitioning from
black market dealers at the ceiling
those who lost money would be
properly penalized.'

And Accessories Bring $17.25

Mr.. Edmondston said the reason
for the purchase was purely per-
sonal. for, although he did not know
Mr.. Vasilakos personally, he used
to pass his peanut stand almost
daily. The pushcart, he said, sis
something you'll never see again"
He explained that as the vender
business is not profitable now he
hoped to find a collector Of Greek
organization that would appreciate it.
The. accessories sold with the cart
included q large store OF paper bags
which went for so cents, a stool and

Rent Bureau
Sifts Hotel
Profiteeriing
Agents Check Up
On Servicemen's
Stories Of Gouging

The District Rent Control Admin
istration is doing everything within
its power to discourage the practice
of small, so-called hotels" from
boosting rates over week ends to
reap a rich harvest from service
men, Ernest F. Henry, its attorney,
said today.
The spotlight was focused on a
situation in which many lodging
house operators are profiting at the
expense of servicemen last Saturday
night when Star reporter tried In
vain to rent one of the 81 rooms
advertised in neon signs over many
of the establishments. The cheap
est he found for a single room was
So and the highest IS.
District rent control investigators
checked many of the same places
Sunday night, visiting IL OF ap-
proximately IS such establishments,
and found conditions only slightly
changed. The highest price they
found was So for single room, but
at no place were they asked to pay
more than 81 for two persons.
Cots Go Begging.
The War Hospitality Committee,
meanwhile, called attention to the
fact that many cots set up for serv-
icemen at the Memorial Bridge
recreation area are going begging
for occupants. Last Saturday night
800 cots were unoccupied, although
trucks made hourly pickups at des-
ignated stops from 11:40 pm. to S
am, transporting men to the place.
The committee expressed the be-
lief that if this service was more
widely known among both service
men and civilians alike it would help
relieve the situation. Information
is available at Executive 1882 before
midnight and at Executive 2628 after
midnight.
| Mr.. Henry said the Rent Control
Administration has jurisdiction over
such places and is assuming it Ito
a certain degree" Such practices
are not new, however. he said, but
that guilty operators have been
doing it for years"
81 and Up Practice.
Under the Rent Act effective jan
uary /. 194l, rates in force that
date were frozen. This meant, Mr..
Henry said, that their practices
we're frozen, even though some Of
! those practices were not so good"
If they advertised rooms Isl and up"
the law permitted them to continue
charging as high as their interpre-
tation of up"
Among the practices he referred
to was that of advertising as no
tels,' when they actually were lodg-
ing houses. operating on SIS lodging
house permits, and Of publicizing
81 rooms and then telling prospec-
tive guests all rooms at that price
had been rented.
The RCA has difficulty obtaining
evidence against such places because
transients don't have the time or
won't trouble to complain about
overcharges. The lodging houses are
supposed to display list of prices
where guests may see them and also
file copies of such lists with the Rent
Control Administration. Many have
complied with this regulation and
others will be forced to do so, MI.
Henry said.
Use of the word hotel is mis-
leading he said. and gives visitors
the impression that the place offers
services expected in regular hotel
and is under similar supervision. All
of these places, he pointed out,
contain less than so rooms.

to stimulate recruiting for the Dis
trict Civilian Defense force, under
plans being mapped today.

been suggested for the recruiting

civilian defense officials would wear
badges bearing this slogan.
Fred A. Smith, former president
OF the Washington Board of Trade

civic affairs, has accepted appoint
ment as chairman of general COM
mittee in charge.
The program is planned to coun-
teract loss OF interest and gradual
depletion in the numbers OF active
civilian defense workers which, offi-
cials believe, is due to the continued
successes OF the Allied forces In

NJ Y DAD

Did you ever think of all the things,
The greatest you had,
In spite of all that money brings,
The greatest is your Dad.
His hair black, but now streaks the gray
And lines have creased his face,
Now stopped little and changed his way
His joints feel out of place
Though his eyes dim, his walk is slow,
His hands shaky too,
He's just your Dad and wherever he goes
He's proud his is you
Did you ever think of all the ways
He tried to pave the road
To help that yours may be sunny days,
To straighten out the folds
He has taught you all the things that's right,
And made of you
He's taught you how to seek the light,
And in the way that's true.
You'd miss the smell of his smoky pipe
Or his voice in evening prayer,
You'd miss the way he locks up at night
If Daddy wasn't there
With glasses the end of his nose,
He reads the evening
And shakes his head at the models pose,
And gets the leaders views
He's handy man about the house,
He paints the garden fence,
He sets a trap and 10! a mouse,
And Mothers tense.
Win steps broken faucets leak,
Just in days of old,
Every day he keep it up-al week,
And carries his load.
Dear Dad, your services always
Invaluable to me,
And I'll miss you just the old Dad,
Wherever / may be.
Yes, may your reward be just and great
For all those years of toll,
And from your shoulders lift the weight,
Gods of love encoil
From q Son IN SerUice-U. S. Marine Corps.

Meanwhile, CIO political activi-

Continuing, President Schultz
spoke of the workers political
awakening: "Our people are awake
now, thanks to Hobbs, Rickenback-

similar nature. They. believe in de-

neglect to vote the next time. We

care of them politically in the
future"
Elzie Bush of the Textile Work

than 1000 members of our union
who can hardly wait until the next

Lewis Suys
Mines Plan
Lockout

NEW YORK (FP)-Pres. John
L. Lewis of Unied Mine Workers
(unaffiliated) charged April II
that large industrial and financial
interests, led by U. S. Steel Corp,
were conspiring with certain ma
tional politicians" to lock out the
miners May /.
Lewis supported his charge with
information that seven railroads
already are preparing for the lock-
out by sequestering 17,205 carloads
(946,275 tons of coal in excess of
normal supply. The charge came
as negotiations with northern coal
operators remained deadlocked.
Southern conferences are no nearer
a solution.
CAPTIVE MINES DOMINATE
Charging that the operators are
dominated by the captive mines,
owned by u. S. Steel, Lewis asked
a government investigation of the
railroads boarding of coal, and in
sisted the government call on
Chairman Thomas W. Lamont of
J. P. Morgan & Co., which controls
u. S. Steel, to take its foot off
the necks of the mine workers"
Charles O'Neill, spokesman for
the operators, denied the Lewis $
charge and attempted to explain
away the 17,205 carloads by saying
that it wasn't excessive and that all
railroads needle coal in cars as well
as in storage space.
