Potato Price
Pushed Up by
Black Market
OPS Opens Drive
To Nip Wholesalers
Premium Charges

A black market and wholesale
premiums" are squeezing pota-
toes-already in short supply-out
of some Washington grocery
stores.
The Office of Price Stabiliza-
tion's Enforcement Division has
launched a crack down on whole
salers who profiteer by inducing
grocers to pay premiums to get
potatoes.
Some grocers, angered because
their colleagues pay above-ceiling
prices, are posting signs to in
form their customers of the Situ-
alton.
An OPS spokesman said some
wholesalers are "slyly suggesting"
the payment of premiums when
potatoes are delivered at the regu-
lar ceiling prices. And some gro
GERS are paying the extra amount.
Drive Aims at Practice.
1t is at this practice that the
enforcement agents are aiming
their current drive.
A Takoma Park grocer bought
600 pounds of potatoes at ceiling
prices today-a two hours supply.
When those run out, he planned
to post q sign above the emntv
potato bin.
The sign is worded to inform
customers that I'VE have been
unable to buy sufficient potatoes
at ceiling prices" because of the
ceiling price violations elsewhere.
The potato farmers are now be-
tween crops, with new potatoes
due to begin arriving in quantity
around June /.
The OPS spokesman said last
years crop was poor because it
was the first year of operation
without subsidies and because of
poor weather conditions in some
areas.
Truckers Take Potatoes.
Those potatoes which are left
are going to door-to-door truck
drivers rather than through the
regular market channels because
the truckers are willing to pay
above ceiling.
"A rather widespread black
market in potatoes has arisen in
this connection" the OPS spokes-
man added.
The ceiling for farmers aver
ages about $40 hundred
pounds. With freight charges
the wholesalers profit and the re-
tailer's 80 per cent markup, the
average ceiling is about 8 cents a
pound when the potatoes finally
reach the consumer.

Mrs. Harden Cites ? Instances
To Show Delays Hit CONGRESS
By Jones 6. Deone

Don't think it's just ordinary

their mail.
Congress does. too.
Representative Cecil M. Har-
den, Republican, of Indiana, re-
ported two incidents to- The Star
yesterday. Mrs. Harden is one
|of the II women members of
Congress, and, oddly enough, her
husband used to be a postmaster
The first incident occurred in
February, when Mrs. Harden
planned to drive home for a Lin
coin Day dinner.
II sent an airmail special de-
livery" she related, Ito my son,
DR.. Murray Harden, at Lafayette,
Ind. That's the home of Purdue
University. The letter told when
we were leaving Washington and
when we would be there.

tive's Office here in Washington.
1t was an important letter, Mrs.
Harden said. 1t was postmarked
April 10 and delivered April 80

Mrs. Harden said she's sure the

The House today showed inter-
est IN bill the Senate yesterday
passed unanimously to remove the
SO, ,360-a-year District recorder of
deeds Job from the national pa
tronage "pie counter"
Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee said he
can see no objection to the bill.
He said it will be referred to
the Judiciary subcommittee, head
ed by Representative Harris, Dem
ocrat, of Arkansas. Mr.. Harris
said the proposal will come up
soon for consideration.
Passed without Objection.
The Senate, without a single
objection, yesterday passed a BIZ
partisan bill to transfer the ap-
pointment of the recorders job
from the President to the District
Commissioners.
This was one more chapter in
the story of the rejection by the
Senate of President Truman's
move to award the job to an old
Kansas City political crony, Earl
Wayne Beck.
The Senate District Committee
several times refused to confirm
that appointment and finally laid
an adverse report before the
Senate. ..gn ea 81.
Later President Truman made
it clear that. if the Senate would
not approve his selection, the Dis
trict could go without a new re-
corder.
Two Bills Combined.
That challenge promptly was
accepted. Senator Case, Repub-
lican. of South Dakota introduced
a bill to give the appointive power
to the District Commissioners.
Senator Hunt, Democrat, of Wyo-
ming moved to put the Office under
civil service.
The District COMMITTEES recently
combined the two bills and re-
ported the single measure unani-
mously. This was passed yester-
day by the Senate without con-
test.
1t was one of 10 bills swept
through the Senate.
Three of these deal with ar
rangements for the presidential
inauguration next January. One
was amended and goes back to
the House.
Raises Cogswell's Pay.
Another would grant an $500
increase in pay to District Rent
Administrator Robert F. Cogswell,
who was "the forgotten man" last
year when pay raises were given
other Government workers. This
bill now goes to the White House.
Passed by the Senate and now
awaiting House action is a bill to
change old District tax laws. One
change would reduce from IL to
6 per cent a year the penalty in
terest charged for delinquent tax
payments in several categories.
These include estate and in
heritance. unemployment COM
|pensation insurance and sales
taxes.
Among other bills approved by
the Senate were those raising fees
to be charged veterinarians and to
relieve the District recorder of
deeds of some old requirements
as to keeping Of records.
