Questions Hint
Al AtPressureon
u. 5. Cafeterias
GSI Manager Asked
If Congressman Try
To Influence Buying
Sy Joseph Young

The question whether some
members of Congress have pres
sured Government cafeterias into
buying foodstuffs from them or
their friends arose today as q
Senate Civil Service subcommittee
began an investigation into prices
charged at Federal cafeterias.
Senator LANCER, Republican, of
North Dakota, asked an official Of
Government Services, Inc, which
operates many of the Federal
|cafeterias here:
During the last three years,
have you bought any food direct
ly or indirectly from any Senator
or Congressman? Has any Sena-
tor or Congressman tried to influ-
ence you in your buying?"
Robert Ayers, GSI's general
manager. replied that to the best
OF his knowledge this has not
happened.
Does Not Do Buying.
In response to further questions,
Mr.. Ayers said that he does not
do the actual purchasing for
GSI.
The subcommittee then asked
that A. H. Clarke, GSI's pur-
chasing agent. appear at the
groups next meeting to answer
Senator Langer's query.
Later, Senator LANCER parried
reporters questions as to what
prompted his inquiry. The North
Dakotan said he was interested in
getting an answer to his uues-
ton, but he would not say what
information, if any, he had on
the subject.
The subcommittee's investiga-
ton OF Government cafeteria op-
erations resulted from complaints
made by some Federal workers
regarding the cost of meals.
GS1, a non-profit corporation
operated by a board of trustees
composed of Government officials,
was the first company called be-
fore the subcommittee.
Also called before the group
were operators of other COM
panieS and welfare associations
serving employees in the Pentagon,
Agriculture Department, Bureau
Of Engraving and Printing and
the Government Printing Office.
GSI officials testified that since
its recent price increase went into
effect. the average cost of each
meal ticket increased by / cent
from 34.7 to 35.7 cents.
| In another Federal personnel
matter, the House Civil Service
Committee heard a plea from
officials of the Citizense' Commit
tee for the Hoover Report for
additional modernization of the
Governments personnel system.
DR.. Robert L. Johnson, president
OF Temple University and chair
man of the citizens group, testi-
| fled that such reforms were badly
needed at present.

The cornerstone from Central

The Board of Education at

Disable himself has logic behind it.
For instance. some farm leaders
declared that farmers would not

without incentives. Said Disable,
however:
II cannot subscribe to the
theory or the view that controls

In history and II people need

price rollbacks when final equitable

tie these regulations to a pre-
Korean base and attempt to fix
margins at that date and see what
happens to price. He pointed out
that meat is uppermost in the
minds OF people, since it was meat
that broke the back Of price con-

may be some price increases be-

annals from the deepest freeze on

Her temperature was 1902 only

contrast to the GA degrees her body
registered when she was discovered
a week ago-the lowest on record
where human survived.
Hospital attendants said Mrs.
Stevens ate Lamb chops, baked po-
tatoes and lettuce salad. The re-
ported she seems tired following
the ordeal of yesterdays bandage
removals when physicians checked
the condition of her limbs and de-

Joe Louis Draws
Fans Out West

San Francisco, Feb. 2O-(AP)
Joe Louis, still packs the biggest
box office, despite the fact Ezzard
Charles is heavyweight champion.
Louis fights Amy Walker in a
Hereunder this Friday night and
the huge Cow Palace already is a
sell-out. That means approximate
ly $4,000 fans will see the bout.
It's another warm-up in Louis
campaign to get back into the ring
with Charles for a return champ
ionship fight.
Who is Walker? The latest OPP
ponent for the Brown Bomber is
a willing but obscure local heavy.
He recently won the California
championship. The only time he
fought out of the state was in 1913,
in Tocoma.
Louis is the attraction. Among
the 10000 who will cram the pavil-
lion will be hundreds who haven't
turned out for boxing contest in
years. They want to be able to say
they saw the former champion in
action. In contrast they probably
wouldn't walk across the street to
see Walker fight bear with his
oare fists.
This will be the second time the
Cow Palace has been used for box
ing. The other one also was sell
out at $40 tops. 1t was the 1949
championship battle between En-
card Charles and Pat Valentino.
Valentino, however, was San
Francisco favorite with tremend-
Gus local following. He brought
in as many customers as Charles.
The gate was 1880.
The Louis Walker fight is seal
ed for gate receipts of around $780,
900 with top ticket price of $3.50.
1t was originally scheduled for the
civic Auditorium but was shifted
after that 9,000-seat enclosure was
completely sold out in a few days.
