bowIes Aide Called
Before Senate GROUP
On 0PA Continuance
BY the Associated Press.

James F. Brownlee, director of
prices in the once of Price Ad-
ministration, was called before
the Senate Banking Committee
today to substantiate the agen-
cy's claim that it deserves to be
continued.
Mr.. Brownlee and other aides OF
Price Administrator Chester Bowles
who will testify on legislation to ex-
tend the agency year beyond June
80, had advance warning to be pre-
pared to answer questions about
price subsidies.
The warning came yesterday from
Senator Maloney, Democrat, of Con-
necticut, who remarked during Mr..
Bowles' testimony that subsidies,
which Congress heretofore has dis
approved as a means of keeping
down prices, are the big issue"
Subsidies Called Necessary.
Mr.. Bowles said subsidies are nee
essary. but he made it clear in a
long presentation of OPA's case
there are many more problems in
volved in the program that touches
100000 900 people in IS, ZOO 900 fam
lilies. Among these are:
Overcharges-Mr. Bowles said
that the total food bill now is about
4 per cent higher than it need be,
because of charges above ceilings
Black markets-What Mr.. Bowles
called "a small staff under great
strain" has been trying to combat
illegal sales, especially in gasoline
He said the public. however, "is CIV
ing much better cooperation" and
he suggested = stronger enforcement
staf.
Public relations-The OPA chief
said his agency certainly had a big
opportunity to irritate people" that
in administering millions OF prices
there were naturally mistakes,
sloppy and careless" To correct
that, he said, is one OF OPAs main
goals.
Would Prevent Imitation.
Withal, however, Mr.. Bowles con-
cluded that If the powers which we
now possess are continued, / can
assure the committee that imitation
during the war will be prevented
and that the Nation will come out

Belle Starr" the notorious wom-

make her scheduled appearance at

1t was all due to the loss of three
trunks, enroute from New York. The
trunks contained costumes for the
ballet Belle Starr" Without the
costumes, Mia Slavenska and her
troupe of ballet artists could not
stage their advertised performance
and were forced to improvise by
presenting seven miscellaneous

|Steuart Firm Takes
Case 10 High Court

{. P. Steuart e. Bro, Inc, asked
the Supreme Court yesterday to re-
view a decision of the Court OF
Appeals upholding an Once Of Price
Administration order restricting the
oil firms customers.
Renah F. Camalier, counsel for
Steuart, explained the effect of the
appeal Is to extend a temporary re-
straining order against OPA until
the Supreme Court acts on the firms
request for writ Of certiorari.
The OPA order directed the firm
to reduce its customers to those on
its books during the year ended Oc-
tober ~, 1912, because of alleged
violations of ration regulations.
The case began with the original
OPA order last December, but the
oil firm has succeeded, by action in
the District Court, the Court of
Appeals and the Supreme Court, in
having the OPA temporarily re-
strained from enforcing its de-
mands.
The highest tribunal now is asked
to review the appeals court de-
cision denying 4 restraining order
against OPA.
