BY FREDERICK C. OTHMAN I nit.il Prw ''tiff (orr>pndfHt WASHINGTON. July 19. Dr. Franck C How*? thw many month* has fighting the consumers’ baffles th** New Deal. He :s the one official of the agricultural adju-'-tmenl administration hose task it is to keep the consumer from becominit the forgotten man. If bread prires go up too much, he takes steps. If overalls cost too much, he takes action. His methods are simple. He depends almost entirely upon publicity and Americas leading clubwomen—to attain his ends. The latter, together with civic leaders, are united in consumers' councils in almost every city in the rountry. Evrrv two weeks thev receive from Dr Howe his consumers’ guide, which shows how much a repreaentative list of foods, from prunts to pork chops, cost, in fifty selected cities. The members of the local councils do the rest. Woe is the baker who uses the AAA as an excuse to extract a couple of cents profit from a loaf of bread. The doctor's system works so easily that it has been the subject of considerable criticism by people who think he doesn't try hard enough. That doesn t worry Dr. Howe. He is fi7 years old now but is the same gay. almost elfin little man whose Rerr and Skittles Club wangled development. of Cleveland s downtown Civic center many years ago. He still maintains his summer place at Nantucket, where there usually is at hand a group of Dr. Howps younger friends, for round table forums on the problems of the world. The doctor has been called the prexy of a summer school for intellectuals, but he doesn’t like that title. In Washington he has surrounded himself with brilliant young men and women. Outstanding among them is Mary Taylor of Dr. William A. Wirt fame. The Gary educator attended a dinner at which Miss Tavlor was present and charged that she was one of a group of plot-

Indiana in Brief

H * Tim'* f-p'riai KOKOMO. July 20—Indiana's law imposing a penalty on a motorist for leaving the scene of an accident is constitutional. Special Judge Harrs- Forehand has ruled in the case of George Clevenger. Counsel for Mr, Clevenger has announced a change of venue will be sought, the motion to be filed not later than July 25. It wa- contended by counsel, in an attack on the constitutionality of the law, that it requires a person to give testimony against himself. However. the court held the law requires that only information serving to identify the motorist is required by the law, and therefore, it is not in violation of the constitutional provision.

tors to make a Soviet of the United States. Miss Taylor blushed. She called Wirt’s charges absurd and continued her work as chief of Dr. Howes statistical service. She figures the ca s ts of ?he prunes and pork chops, then prepares the consumers' guide and sees that it goes where it will do the most good. Dr. Howe isn't a typical government official. He doesn t take all the credit for himself. He says that if it were not for Mary Taylor, the consumer would be in a tough spot. The doctor is another of' the Washingtonians who says he used to be a newspaper man himself. Upon graduating from Johns Hopkins university, he became a reporer in New- York, but soon was fired because he wasn't any too capable about putting who, when and where on paper. Then he became a lawyer, went to Cleveland, became associated with 'he late Tom Johnson, and turned into a civic leader and political reformer. His principal governmental post before becoming consumers' council was that of United States commissioner of immigration at Ellis island.
