Joint Board Considers
Bus Competition Plea

A Joint board today was con-
sidering the request of Safeway
Trails, Inc. for authority to pick
up passengers in competition with
the Capital Transit Co.'S KS line
along New Hampshire avenue In
Maryland, carrying them to and
from the District.
The board, composed of Joseph
S. Giardina. representing the
Maryland Public Service Com

hearing yesterday.
Attorney Francis J. Ortman,
representing Safeway. quoted a

Food Price Controls
Lead Grocery Chief
To Stress Competition

Except for one leader in the re-
tail food field who pointed out
that competition is far more ef-
fective than Government regula-
ton as a price control measure.
grocers here were noncommittal
today on the new Office of Price
Sterilization "mark-up" controls.
A spokesman for one large gro
Gerry chain called attention to the
fact the regulations have just
been received, require study and
in any event do not go into effect
until April 5.
Generally. food prices seemed
to be marking time in the Ma
tional Capital. pending the next
turn of events. Only large Grade
A eggs, now selling at SO cents a
dozen compared to SO cents on
March 16, appeared to show any
marked change.
OPA Regulations Recalled.
Paul D. Herman. president OF
the District Grocery Stores, Inc,
said;
The new regulations appear to
be very similar to those that pre-
vailed during the Office of Price
Administration days during the
war. Competitive conditions in the
food business at present are the
most effective controls.
"OPA regulations six years ago
acted as a brake on prices. Today
competition is so much keener
that it is far more effective price
control than any Government
agency. There are hundreds of
grocery items that are selling at
less today than the present ceiling
prices"
Mr.. herman said the new regu-
lationS require a great deal Of
study, as they are written in legal
language. But he observed that
they appear to be almost identical
to those existing in the late days
OF OPA.
Vegetables Slightly Lower.
Fresh vegetables in the stores
were reported a bit lower in price,
as more plentiful supplies arrived.
These include: Beans, broccoli, as
paragus, cabbage, carrots, cauli-
flower, green corn, eggplant, en-
dives, escarole, peppers, spinach
and squash.
The Agriculture Department
listed as most-plentiful foods for
thrifty buying in April:
Apples, canned applesauce, dry
beans, potatoes, broiling and fry
ing chickens, eggs, frozen fish.
cottage cheese, peanut butter and
honey.

ton .of. only 100000.
Chairman Fulbright, who said
he would not "concede" that Mr.

Casey's whole point is that he
doesn't want to be associated with
this nasty RFC thing"
Senator Bricker went further
Iby remarking that he doubted
very much that the courts will
Iprotect this witness"
The subcommittee was particu-
Ilarly curious about the way Mr..
Casey previously testified he in
vested only $4,000 OF his own
money in the company and made
a profit of $250.000 when the ships
were sold.
Senator Fulbright observed that
Mr.. Casey put in one-fifth Of the
jcapital of the company but took
out a smaller percentage in selling
his stock. Mr.. Casey insisted that
the transaction was proper" but
he refused to answer questions,
including one whether the COM

facilitate the deal.

Nehru told Parliament in a for

Certainly no field commander

laid down by governments, not by
commanders in the field"
India has supplied no armed
