Training Program Brings
License Revocation Laq

There were 435 fewer driver per-
mits suspended during october than
September, but Washington motor
lists have no cause to believe the
Board of Revocation and Restora-
ton of Operators Permits is going

Mrs. Mary Silver, board chair
man, explained she had instituted
a training program for the board

behind little in their work.

During october 402 drivers hao
their permits suspended for speed
ing. There were 638 suspended fol

Basing Point Ruling
Costs Buyers Millions,
Capehart Tells Hearing

Senator Capehart, Republican, OF
Indiana asserted today that Federal
Trade Commission rulings as upheld
by the Supreme Court are costing
users OF cement and steel millions
and millions of dollars"
A succession of building supply
dealers and highway builders testi-
fed before the Capehart Subcom-
mittee on Trade Policies today
about results of the Supreme Court
decision in the Cement Institute
case. The court upheld an ETC
ruling that price conspiracy
existed and banned the basic point
system of pricing.
One of the witnesses, J. Roy Pen
nell of Spartanburg, S. c., asserted
the FTC has perpetrated fraud on
the American people and whoever Is
responsible for it should be prose-
cuted"
Suggests Call for Figures.
The practice banned in the cement
industry was to set uniform price:
! in a given area and to absorb all OF
part of the freight charges to main
tain the uniformity.
THE whole thing is inuring to the
benefit of this cement monopoly the
TTC complains about and is coastine
the little fellow money" Senator
Capehart said.
He said the subcommittee may
subpoena figures from the cement
and steel concerns to show just
how large their profits are from
being forced to go on an I. o. b
basis. One steel man has testified
his company is proflting $500 ,00t
q year, representing freight charges
the company formerly absorbed.
The cement and steel industries
now set prices +. o. b. at the mills
the buyer paying all the freight.
Competition May Be Curbed.
Donald O. White, president Of ths
American Road Builders Associa'
ton of washington. said that un'
less some method of freight absorp-
ton Is legalized, competition will bt
restricted in the highway construc'
ton industry. He said that since
the Supreme Court decision last
spring the price Of cement used II
highway construction has increased
approximately % cents barrel on
national weighted average.
Senator Capehart told reporter
that unless something is done x
clarity the problem every Con
gresham and every Senator is go
ing to be up against bad situation
in his own State"

Direct Red Attack
On Mukden Expected
AS Drive Steps Up
By the Assoeioted Press

NANKING. Feb. 26.-The mount
ing fury of Chinese Communist as
saults near Mukden was regarded
today as probably opening a direct
attack on that. Manchurian metrop-
oils.
Dispatches from Mukden said
the battle for the suburbs of Sin
min, 80 miles west of Mukden,
reached a high pitch with gov
ernment reserve air power thrown
into the fight. Shnmin proper fell
to the Reds yesterday.
Chang Armies Divided.
Sinmin was one of three main
defense points In the steadily
weakening government-held area of
Manchuria. Generalissimo Chiang
kai-shek's commanders divided
their armies among Mukden, Sim
min and Tiehling. industrial rail-
way city, 40 miles northwest of
Mukden.
Progovernment dispatches to
Peiping reported the Communists
also had penetrated Tiehling's sub
urbs. Savage fighting was reported
at Penki, coal center IS miles south
east of Mukden. Radio contact with
Penki was lost yesterday, possibly
indicating the city had fallen to the
Reds.
Military observers described Muk-
den's situation as desperate and
rapidly approaching the hopeless
stage" They saw little change that
the government could scrape up
enough reinforcements to change
the tide without dangerously ex-
posing vital areas of China proper.
Warships Shell Reds.
The Communists renewed their
attacks on Yingkow, main govern
ment port in South Manchuria. Ma
tional warships in the harbor were
said to be shelling Reds who yester-
day reached Yingkow's outskirts.
| Government reports several days
ago said the harbor was frozen.)
Loss of Yingkow would erase gov
ernment hopes of reopening sup
ply line from there to Mukden, 100
miles northeast.
Scattered fighting was reported In
North China.
Meanwhile, Generalissimo and
Mime. Chang returned to Nanking
after two weeks in Kuling, summer
capital. His prolonged absence led
to reports he sought solitude to
mediate China's civil war and eco
homie crises.

CANTON, China, Feb. 26 (P.-
Government officers said today their
forces have killed or captured 11,000
bandits" in South China in the
last two months.
They said there were 10000
bandits in Kwangtung province
