Mysterious Night Gas Attack
On District Still Unidentified

from the Bethesda area. then from

emily was dissipating.

they contend that general subsidies
aid both the poor and the wealthy
At hearings by the Banking Com
mittee, Russell Smith, legislativ
secretary of the National Farmers
Union. testified yesterday that a
food stamp plan could not take the
place of general subsidies.
The food stamp plan relies upon
existence of surplus supplies as its
base he said, and there are nc
surpluSeS now"
Foes OF food subsidies. meanwhile
were warned yesterday by Repre-
sentative Norton, Democrat, of New
Jersey that housewives are aroused
over the threat to do away with this
method of holding down the cost OF
their grocery marketing.
Mrs. Norton told the House that
women have been slow to realize the
imitation dangers and the threat
to the American home" which she
said are involved in wiping out sub
sides, but that they are now awake
Opponents of subsidies apparently
were little impressed, however, by
Mrs. Norton's implication that the
women will take political action or
by the administration appeal to
the people as represented by the
Nationwide radio broadcast which
War Mobilization Director James F..
Byrnes made Tuesday night.
Representative Wolcott, Republic
an, of Michigan, who helped draft
the anti-subsidy bill passed by the
House, said his mail offered abund-
ant proof that the people are be-
ginning to realize the dangerous sit
uation and possibilities involved in
continuing subsidies"
There will be no compromise, y
he said.

Consumer Committee
Defends Subsidies,
Hits Living Costs

Subsidies were defended and the
rising cost of living was assailed to-
day by speakers representing va
rious groups of professional anc
trade workers at meeting Of the
Congressional Committee for the
Protection of the Consumer.
The consumer groups. who crowd
ed the caucus room of the old House
Office Building, heard DR.. Belmont
Farley of the National Education
Association, representing the white
collar workers." make a plea fol-
teachers. He pointed out that teach
ers were the lowest paid professional
workers in the country and could
not stand further increases in theil
living expenses.
The 875 900 teachers who belong
to the organization. he said. have
no panacea for controlling the cost
of living, but know it must be held
down.
Lack Protection.
The teachers" he added. "are
ground between the upper and
mother millstones of rising prices
and static wages"
DR.. Farley contended that the
Nations children were no less valu-
able than the products of it's open
hearths, but the teachers were not
protected by the Little Steel formula
or any other.
POINTING out that the cost of liv-
ing was up an average of 26 per cent
since the war, he said $4,000 teach
ers. lnstructing at least 1000 900
children, still had incomes of less
than $500 year. Unless the rising
cost of living is controlled, he said, a
breakdown in the educational sys-
tenn will be accelerated"
Another white collar" delegate
Mrs. Esther Cole Franklin of the
American Association of University
Women, said we have already ex-
perienced considerable imitation
She contended that the arguments
against subsidies were those against
price control itself. Nobody who
wants price control, she said, can
entirely oppose subsidies.
ScanIon Sees Initiation.
Representative Scanlon, Democrat
Iof Pennsylvania. chairman OF the
committee, said the country was
threatened with a grave crisis of in.
flation.
We must either have subsidies, ;
he added, "or drastically increase
living costs"
Representative Rogers, Democrat
OF California, who returned recentl,
from London, where he studied cosI
control, said that out of 1,5OO letter.
he had received from constituents
and others only two writer's favored
elimination of subsidies. Othe,
members of Congress cited similar
| experiences.

Police Press
Staying Probe
Robbery Motive
Enters Murder Cose

CHICAGO. Feb. A. (P) - A
robbery angle as a possible mo-
tive for the Staying Of pretty
Estelle Carey took on added sig
nificance by police today on the
strength of a report that a man
was seen fleeing from her apart
ment at about the time she was
killed Tuesday.
Although police pressed their
investigation to link the Killing
of the model and night club dice
girl to a robber, they said other
theories had not been aban-
doned. Other possible motives
police said, were that Miss
Carey was killed by an angry
sutton, a jealous woman rival or
for revenge.
Capt. William Drury said that
a tenant on the first floor of the
apartment building in which
Miss Carey was found blud-
seoned and burned to death re-
ported she had seen q man come
down the rear stairs carrying
two women's coats over his arm.
Miss Carey lived in a third floor
apartment and two expensive
fur coats were reported miss
ing by her roommate.
The tenant, Mrs. Jessie Low
rein, told Capt. Drury she was
not impressed by the incident,
believing the man was an en-
ploye of a cleaning firm.
