Rise in Bread Price Seen
After Boost in MARYLAND

The possibility of an increase in
the price of bread here was seen
as likely yesterday following an
announcement on one-cent in
creases at Maryland and West
Virginia points.
One bakery official here said an
increase was Imminent" in view
of high production costs and the
fact that the Washington market
price is under the national aver
age.
The Associated Press said the
retail cost of family loaves" OF
bread would be advanced one cent
to 18 cents at Cumberland, Md.
tomorrow, and that similar in
creases would be effected at
Hagerstown, Md, and Martins
burg, w. Va. The price of rolls
also will rise one cent a dozen.
Bakeries said the increases were
due to the higher cost of packag-
ing materials. Family loaves o1
bread in Maryland usually weigh
II or 18 ounces. One pound loaves
of bread in Washington retail al
from 13 to Is cents.

reports available on progress of

Two Doubts Cleared Up.
Two doubts IN his mind had to
be cleared up before he accepted
the job, one official said. They had
nothing to do with the program or
policy. First was the feeling that
the fact he is a Republican dis
qualified him for working in this
administration. The other worry
concerned reports he had heard
that Washington was full of
drones and that no One in a Gov

He was assured that politics
made no difference in this job.

The erratic weather this last

when climate is shifting from
warm to colder.
DR.. Whe ,jer says weather ex-
pertS have been ignoring the ups

to the thousand-year period. The
last previous thousand-year warm
peak was about 1000 AID. The
next is due some time after 1000.
This thousand year shift, now
on the warming-up side, has
caused frost lines to advance

Because of these signs, DR..
Wheeler says, the public has been
told that world climate is be-
coming warmer. They have not
warned about the coming drop.

chance" he says, "of the world
getting steadily warmer, nor is
there the slightest chance that
we will escape a long, severe cold

After the thousand-year warm
