BowIes Asks Market
Standard for Prices
BY the Associated Press.

@-SSSN'NNSN
Price Administrator Chester
Bowles appealed to Congress yes
terday to eliminate it's ban on the
use OF so-called Government stand
ards in pricing canned fruits and
vegetables.
The congressional restriction
makes impossible proper enforce
ment of price ceilings" on these
commodities and makes the Ameri-
can consumer the victim of wide
spread price increases" he said in a
letter to Chairman Cannon of the
House Appropriations Committee.
OPA announced some time ago
that 1t planned to use the Govern
ment's Agricultural Marketing Ad-
mlnlstration standards in pricing
the 1914 pack of fruits and vege-
tables. Subsequently the controller
general ruled that use of such stand
ards would violate the intent OF
Congress.
The ruling was based on a rider
to the Second Deficiency Appropri-
alton Act prohibiting the use of any
STANDARDS not in general use by
the trade. In effect it said that
AAA standards were not in general
use and obliged OPA to base price.
on commercial standards. Some
fruit and vegetable prices already
have been set on the commercial
standard basis.
AAA standards, Mr. Bowles said ir
his letter, define grades much more
precisely than commercial stand.

OF commercial grades was that con-

bIandfoTd Promises
Priorities for Private
Housing Construction

Administrator John B. BIand-
ford, jr, of the National Housing
Agency said yesterday that under
certain conditions he would grant
abundant priorities to private build
ers for erection of low-cost housing
for Negroes-but he doubted that
they could or would provide dwell
ings renting at $35 or less month.
In a letter to Representative He
bert, Democrat, of Louisiana, Mr..
Blandford rejected suggestion that
the TAO priorities held by the Ma
tional Capital Housing Authority be
transferred to private builders. He
expressed doubt that the proposal
will solve the situation"
Blandford Cites Activity.
Mr.. Hebert, at a hearing last week
on the Districts future slum clear
ance and rehousing programs, de-
manded that Mr.. Blandford "substi-
tute with action" his promises that
private builders will be given pref
erence whenever possible in hous-
ing construction.
In his reply the housing admins
traitor declared he already had given
this preference and cited figures for
proof, but stressed that tenants in
the low-income groups cannot pay
the rents required by private build
ers.
He. agreed, however, that there
are tenants in NCHA houses who
are ready to be graduated to private
housing.
1T is true" he said. that there
are many Negro families in public
housing who are paying up to $40 a
month. All of them should be trans
ferred to private housing as soon
as it becomes available at prices
they can afford.
mo family able to pay above $35
for rent should be admitted to the
TAO NCHA units when they are built,
If other quarters are available for
their means, and if they have to be
admitted temporarily they should
move when private housing is Of
fered."
Two members of the Judiciary
Subcommittee of the House Dis
trict Committee, considering the
shm clearance bills, have declared
opposition to any additional NCHA
projects while NCHA tenants are
permitted to pay only economic
rents. The hearings have been ad-
journed, subject to call of Chair
man McGehee, but there was doubt
today whether the subcommittee
would take any further action until
after the prediction recess.
Priorities to Be Granted.
Mr.. Blandford said that priorities
would be granted to those builders
willing to gve firm commitments"
as to quality, size, rental and speed
at which they will construct the
units.
.."NCHA has no priorities to trans
fer" he declared. 1T was assigned a
Job to do and given priorities for the
work. The primary job was provid-
ing housing for Negroes who could
not be accommodated by the pri-
vately financed program.
The whole situation in regard to
homes for Negro war workers and
their families in the Washington
area can be summed up simply:
There are not enough of them dow
cost housing units renting for less
than s35 month"; at prices those
families can afford Mr.. Blandford
added. To help meet this need, we
have been able to finance with pub
lie funds the comparatively small
program assigned to the NCHA.

posal whereby private capital can
meet more of this need" Mr.. Bland

State conventions in Helena were unusually well attended
members Of the Republican and Democratic parties. Mel
d women used virtually all forms Of transportation available
: trips ranging up to several hundred miles. Some needed
take nearly a week from their routine work to come tc
elena for an exchange of ideas on government says the hide
ndent-RecOrd.
With virtually all factors in our lives hingng to some
t;tent on this great war, much comfort is found in the fact
lat upwards of 400 MontananS arranged to assemble to draft
policies designed to promote progress in government. While
ne May conventions are not intended as party platform SEES
Ions, very definite policies are outlined and often agreed upon.
Discussions here will bear fruit late in the summer when the
party members convene again to formally adopt platforms.
Additional indication of the keen interest in major party
affairs was shown by the number of men and women who eX-
press a desire to attend national party conventions as dele
gates. There was spirited competition for places on both Mon
tana delegations. This inteSest could not be attributed to a
prospect of witnessing protracted baoting for presidential
nominees at the national conventions. But the delegates of
both parties do look forward to first hand information Of the
policies that eventually will be written into national platforms.
When we emerge from this war we shall hope to eliminate 3
maximum number of emergency uncertainties as quickly as
possible. We shall be seeking some SoLd ground on which to
build peacetime security. The national party platforms could
and should furnish cornerstone material for peacetime govern
ment.
We are under no illusions as to the popular conception of
what goes on at party conventions. Many electors who show
no interest in such meetings, like to brush them aside with the
contention job hunters comprise the majority of those in at
tendance. In some years there has been much angling for jobs
in state government. But this is one year in which even g
politician must search at times for someone to fill a necessary
position in public service. The state government lists of job
seekers are at almost record lows. While that condition has
Tot become acute in federal government service, it has been
in effect in state circles for some time.
At the risk of being termed nearsighted by some ever
skeptical electors, who sometimes do not take the trouble to
vote, we feel the two Helena conventions were outstanding for
sincerely of purpose in promoting better government.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

"Soul and Body" was the subject
of the Lesson-Sermon which was

Scientist, on Sunday, May 81, 1914.
The Golden Text was: "For our
conversation is in heaven; from
whence also we look for the Saviour,
the Lord Jesus Christ: who shall
change our vile body, that it NAV
be fashioned like unto his glorious
body, according to the working
whereby he is able ever to subdue
all things unto himself" (Fhil: 1920,
21).
Among the citations which COM
the Lesson-Sermon was the
following from the Bible: TRULY
God is good to Israel, even to such
are of a clean heart" (Psm. 73).
The Lesson-Sermon also included
the following passage from the
Science textbook, Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures" by Mary Baker Eddy: Man
is harmonious when governed bv
Soul. Hence the importance of
understanding the truth of being
which reveals the laws of spiritual

Chicks should be started early be-
cause early chicks grow faster and
have a lower mortality. Further
more, the early cockerels can be
sold while the prices are higher
and the pullets will come into pro-
duction early in the fall when high
egg prices prevail. Chicks for flock
replacement should be obtained from
focks which have been tested and
found to be free of pollorum. The
brooder house should be cleaned
thoroughly and the brooder put into
operation a day or two before the
