Food Stamp Plan Urged
Instead Of Subsidies
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Representative 1t Toilette, Re-
publican, of Indiana believes food
stamp plan. to give needy persons
coupons emitting them to buy food
below market prices. would be fairer
than the current subsidy rollback
program.
I'm view of all the criticism of
the present setup, our proposal
seems to be the needed alternative. 4"
he said, referring to food stamp bill
which he and others have intro
duced.
Under the food stamp plan, those
whose incomes have not increased
would benefit" he continued.
"At present everybody gets little
saving, but many of them have no
real claim for assistance against
the rising cost of food products at
the expense of the farmers who
produce them and the little retail
grocers."
Those who have no such claim.
Mr., La Toilette told a reporter, in
clude persons who have had sub
stantial wage increases, "the coupon
clippers and the wealthy"
The food stamp bill has been in
troduced in the House by Mr.. La
Toilette and Representative Voorhis,
Democrat, of California, and in the
Senate by Senator Aiken, Republi-
can. Of Vermont and Senator La
Toilette, Progressive. Of Wisconsin.

Eastman Asks Slash
In Commercial Gas
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Narrowing of the list of pre-
ferred" commercial users of gasoline
in the Northeastern shortage area
has been asked by Director Joseph
B. Eastman of the Office of Defense
Transportation, it was learned last
night.
In a letter to Donald M. Nelson,
chairman of the War Production
Board, Mr.. Eastman warned that the
list would have to be trimmed or it
might prove necessary to allot more
gasoline for civilian consumption at
the expense of military supplies.
ODT spokesman said that mo
imminent breakdown" of industrial
transportation was expected, but
that as the autumn progresses the
increased movement Of crops and
the possible upturn in contract
hauling of military supplies to port
areas might create a critical situa-
ton.
The requested cut in the list of
preferred" industrial users of gaso-
line-those eligible to obtain addi-
tional supplies by appealing from
the 40 per cent "stretchout" in COM
mercial rations-should be drastic
enough to get it down to the "abso-
lutte bedrock" of essential users,
'ODT officials maintain.

0PA 10 Cite Fewer
Innocent Motorists
Under New Policy
D. c. Office to Require
Full Proof Before
Issuing Summonses

Fewer innocent motorists Will be
charged with pleasure driving under
the policy now being adopted by Dis
trict OPA inspectors. spokesman
for the Office said today.
The spokesman explained that
almost air-tight" cases are now
being established before any driver
is cited as a pleasure driving sus-
pect. Because of the longer time
being taken with each case, the
small staff of OPA inspectors here
will not be able to report as many
suspects as previously.
AS evidence of the new policy,
only seven motorists were listed for
non-essential driving last night by
the OPA inspectors. This is only a
fraction of the usual daily number
reported in the past.
Checked Ball Park.
The spokesman explained. how
ever that the method of operation
used by inspectors prevented the
citing of a greater number.
Last night, the spokesman said.
the inspectors parked several blocks
away from the baseball park and
followed persons who drove up near
by and appeared to be pleasure
drivers The motorists who were
traced to the ball park were ques-
toned and given subpoenas to ap-
pear before the special OPA panel
for pleasure driving hearings.
This method. the spokesman
pointed out, will prevent the sum-
moning before ration boards of many
motorists who are innocent of pleas
ure driving charges. Hearings be-
fore the local boards in the past, it
was pointed out, have resulted in a
high percentage of acquittals.
8 of IL Dismissed.
The District OPA also reported to-
day that Board No. 80, Sixteenth and
Lamont streets NV, dismissed
of IL cases brought before it on
July s.
Those penalized were Eben D
Willis. 1921 Sixteenth street NV.
2 A coupons: George H. Sutherland
1915 Ingelside Terrace. NV, 2 AS
and 2 BIS, and Richard o. Read,
1924 Park road NV, 2 AS.
Board No. 81, Twenty-ninth and
Calvert streets NV, dismissed one
case brought before it on July 8
and postponed another. Two other
suspects failed to appear and were
sent second notices.

here from as far away as Pitts
burgh to purchase whisky for their
own use, load it on their trucks or
in their automobiles and return
home" he said.
The Bishop seems to forget that
Washington is situated between two
large States and has tremendous
suburbs. Residents Of these States
and suburbs account for the ma
iority of the LIQUOR sold in this city
AS for crime and vice, MI Wender
maintained that the crime increase
here in recent years has been far less
than the tremendous increase in
population.
He denied that there is any organ
lied vice in Washington, and said
that by and large the District is
doing as we'll if not better than most
large cities
I'VE know he continued. that
conditions accentuateo by the nous
Ing shortage, resulting in slums. can
not be attributed to any underworld
criminal organizations"
There. is no other city in the
United States. he emphasized, that
is as careful in its enforcement of
LIQUOR laws or where there is abso-
lutely no corruption in their admin
;stration.
Bishop Hughes he concluded,
apparently doesn't know what is
going on in other cities, where liquor
may be purchased after hours and
where there really is organized crime
and vice due to the lax enforcement
of LIQUOR laws"

Mishap Halls Traffic
On Arlington Bridge
Electrical Failure Cause
Of Two-Hour Tie-up

Traffic over the Arlington Me-
mortal Bridge was stopped nearly
two hours this morning when cleo
trical trouble prevented the District
side of the bridge from closing after
a ship had passed.
There was little confusion. as the
width of the bridge enabled anto-
mobiles to turn around and to 60
over the nearby Fourteenth street
bridge.
The bridge was opened at e:04
a m. to permit a boat on the way
down the river to go through. Elsc-
trical trouble developed in the relay
switch which caused an over-action
by the safety device. This was re-
paired by 1886 m. and the bridge
was then able to close.
Buses which use the bridge were
quickly rerouted over the Fourteenth
street bridge with minimum of de-
lay.

UFWA Renews Demand
For Cafe Price .RoiIbock

Demands for a rollback in restau-
rant prices here were renewed today
by the United Federal Workers of
America. In a letter to Sylvan
Joseph, administrator of the OPA
region which includes the District,
the union said it was "at loss to
understand" why such action has
not previously been taken.
The letter made no direct refer
ence to the statement last week by
a regional OPA spokesman, who said
an order rolling back Washington
restaurant prices to the April 4-10
level was being prepared.
In its letter today to Mr.. Joseph,
the UFWA charged that increases
in restaurant prices here have far
exceeded increases in costs to res
taurant owners.
At the same time, the Housewives
Crusade to Halt Imitation, in tele-
gram to President Roosevelt, de-
nounced what it said was the re-
ported plan of the administration
to stabilize retail food prices at
present levels instead OF rolling
them back to September IS, 1912.

Mason and Wender
Deny Capital Sets
Pace in Drinking
Official and Civic leoder
Declare Bishop Hughes
Charges Are Untrue

Commissioner Guy Mason today
vigorously denied charge made
Yesterday by Bishop Edwin Holt
Hughes. former senior bishop OF the
Methodist Church and temporary
head of the Washington area, that
the District leads the Nation in
wartime drinking.
Branding as untrue Bishoc
Hughes's Quoted assertion that a
crime and vice wave is sweeping the
CAPITAL as a direct result OF over
indulgence in liquor, Commissioner
Mason said
Drinking and drunkenness in
Washington are no more fearful or
worse than in any other city OF COM
parable size in the United States,
nor is the per capita consumption
any greater than the per capita con-
sumption elsewhere ...
He said chat while I'VE have some
crime increase and some vice in
crease. they are not out of proper
ton to those which would naturally
come with sudden precipitant in
crease in population and a constant
reduction in the personnel OF en-
forcement agencies due to the war
Bishop Hughes. in an interview
with a New York Herald-Tribune
correspondent in Chicago, was
quoted as saving drinking and
drunkenness in Washington are
fearful" and that per capita liquor
consumption in Washington was
twice that of Nevada, which he said
had for many years held the title
of lea ding the American booze
parade"
Commissioner Mason said that
much of the increase in liquor pur-
chases here was due to lower prices
in washington. Many persons IN
nearby Maryland and Virginia coun-
ties, he said, purchase their liquor
here because of rationlng in their
own communities.
The per capita sales of liquor in
the District" he said, reflect the
sales in metropolitan area of in
excess of 100000 people, while con-
sumption in the District is limited.
of course. to residents and guests"
Harry S. Wender. president OF the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
agreed with Commissioner Mason.
He declared Bishop Hughes charges
were untrue, unjustifled and abso-
lutely ridiculous.
1T is unfortunate that people are
not familiar with actual conditions
IN this city when they make such
statements Mr.. Wender seid. I
am particularly Mortified that high
member of the church. who should
be more careful in spreading untrue
statements, should disseminate such
propaganda"
Pointing out that the population
of Washington has almost doubled
in the last three years, Mr.. Wender
asserted that the present number
of residents Of the city should be
used in determining the per capita
use of liquor, rather than the 1910
census figures.
TT is very unfair and inaccurate"
he added, ito use Nevada as a COM
parison because of the extremely
small population in that State
Liquor Price Low Here.
While admitting that more liquor
is sold here than in any other city
of comparable size, Mr.. Wender de-
clared that this is due principally to
the low prices of liquor In the Dis
trict. ....-,........-- -.-----.-.

During Stay in Paris
Symptoms Baritone
Guest, Born in Ukroine,
Now u. S. Citizen

If passers by wondered what the
football huddle was in corner of
the Carlton Hotel lobby yesterday
afternoon, it was Igor Gorlns press
conference.
The baritone, who will appear to-
night at $50 with the National
Symphony Orchestra at the Water
Gate. was pointed out to reporters,
seated with his wife and manager
in the lobby.
Hes the one with the dark
glasses" the hotel clerk said.
There's been a mix up about his
room
Reporters and photographers were
greeted by Mr.. CORN and his party
with the explanation that through
an oversight his room reservation
had been made for today instead Of
yesterday.
Knows Significance of Day.
So interviewers pulled chairs into
a circle and the conference started
despite the stares of the curious and
frequent loud speaker page calls
in the busy lobby.
Mr.. CORN leaned forward to make
himself heard. rs he told of the spe-
cial meaning to him of his Bastille
Day concert. The singer. born in
the Ukraine, has lived for many
years in various European countries
Il know what this day means AMI
what it has meant over there" he
said. i know what even a ray of
the hope of freedom means TO those
people
Mr.. CORN, who became an Amer
lean citizen exactly five years from
the day he arrived, has spent much
time in Paris, and remembers the
people embracing each other in
the street and dancing and drink
ing" on other Bastille Days. To-
day, he said. it will be celebrated
only within the hearts of the peo-
pie.

II know nothing about politics. "
ne declared. Until this war l lived
for the improvement of my art: I
believed in it. Today l see that it
is only my own little affair. The
most important thing to me now is
anything I can do to help human
ity.'
One of the most pleasant ways
Of helping out, Mr.. CORN has found
is entertaining. at Army camps,
which he does wherever possible in
addition to his many War bond pro-
grams. Last night he sang at Fort
Meade.
1T is beyond description-the
pleasure which comes from singing
to these boys" he said. They are
so appreciative!'
Mr.. CORN also sang last year at
the Water Gate. He plans to sing
S.ostakovitch's Song of the United
Nations tonight. He introduced it
here last year.
Incidentally, the hotel manager
finally unearthed a single room
which the Gorins could occupy I'M
til larger quarters were available.
