Farm Machinery Tie-In Sale
At Lisbon Faces OPA Probe

letter setting forth my right to tie
in a tractor with a device that can't
operate or move under its own
power"
Mr.. Mccormick said in a state
ment commenting on newspaper ac-
counts of the sale, "The owner of the
property considers that he has
found that there is a loop-hole
which by-passes ceiling prices.
"The plan appeared to be to sell
a fairly new piece of equipment at
ceiling price, but to require as tie
in with the sale, practically useless
piece of equipment also under ceiling
price, thereby in effect collecting a
combination of the two top legal
prices for the one useful piece of
equipment.
Under our regulations, such a
combination sale is prohibited unless
the items of farm equipment sold
in combination with a tractor are
specifically designed for mounting
thereon.
This type of sale. :, appears to
constitute deliberate attempt to
circumvent the regulations, for the
purpose of eXacting highly inflated
prices for sorely needed farm equip
ment."

D. T.. Heads Attack
Van Ness ST. Bill

The Commissioners yesterday re-
iterated their opposition to the clos
ing of Van Ness street. between
Reno road and Connecticut avenue
NV, where it passes through the
grounds of the Bureau of Standards.
They expressed their strong dis
approval of a pending House bill
now before the District Committee
which would close that section Of
Van Ness street permanently. The
section is now shut off temporarily
by the military district of Washing
ton as a security measure.
The Commissioners pointed out
the Federal Government knew Van
Ness street was through street at
the time it built the Bureau of
Standards on both sides OF it.
. Closing the street inficts hard
ship on the homeoWners of the area
and the elimination of an outlet TO
Connecticut avenue would also cause
reduction in property values, they
indicated.
The city heads recalled that in
l94l a House committee. after hear
/ ing testimony, voted to table a SIM
liar bill
Putting fences along the Van
Ness street section with underpass
! if necessary would provide the neces-
sary security for the bureau, they
felt, adding that the bureau could
therefore have no other objection
than the expense of additional fenc-'
| ing and perhaps guards.
ANY savings to the bureau as a
result of the closing of the street
would be at the expense of the home
owners in the neighborhood," the

Three safety inspections were
