"FOOD CEILINGS!

Dollars and Cents Limits to Be Fixed for Duration,

Henderson says.’

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22 . P.). -. —Price Adminisiegior Leon Henderson announced last night that a new system for [control of retail food prices will take: effect next _ month, affording. consumers better ‘protection against rising costs and “greatly. simplifying” present regulations. The program paves the way for specific dollars and cents ceiling __ prices on many essential foods, he said, and the new controls “may be expected to last for the duration. ”» The simpler regulations also will

"get fixed mark-ups for different

types of stores. The mark-ups will be calculated to: cover operating * costs of any “reasonably efficient store in a given class of establishments,” Henderson said.

System Simplified

“This uniform program - will re“place more than a dozen individual price regulations. that have con.tained a variety of pricing methods,” he said: “Few, if any, food items will remain under the general maximum price regulation, The dollars and cents part of the program will begin with meat and soap, and will be extended as rapidly as possible to other: groups of food store items.” Henderson said the revised system would enable the housewife for the first time to know exactly the highest price she can be asked to pay for an increasing number of key food items. ' Price Changes Follow’ Introduction: of new controls will result in some price changes, he said, as certain stores operating with high profit margins will be given lower ceiling prices, while others with unusually low margins will be allowed to boost prices.

ONE BIT OF PATRONAGE legislation that the coming G. 0. P-

state departments.

“controlled ' general assembly is sure to pass. concerns the 11 ‘deputy attorneys general who are employed by seven Democratic-controlled i

lawyers. are eniployed by the respective department heads and ‘paid from funds of the department in whith. they: ‘work. They

were deputized by the outgoing

Democratic attorney general,

‘George Beamer, merely as a con-

venience to them in carrying out their state business.’

The G. O. P. viewpoint is that

all lawyers: who work for the state

should be employed by and under the full control of Republican Attorney General-elect James Emmert who takes office on Jan. 11. The’ Republicans propose to accomplish this by a simple bill placing ‘all attorneys employed by the state under the attorney general. Democrats, generally, agree with this viewpoint, but they think that if such a measure is passed the

appropriations for the attorney .

general’s, office should be increased enough to enable the attorney general to pay his” own deputies. : The Democrats are opposed to the idea of the Republican attorney general naming an attorney for a: Democratic department who will be paid from funds /of that department. Five of the attorneys. involved are employed - in departments under the merit system and there is some dUestion as to whether a change in. the merit system law is necessary to give: Mr. Emmert the power to replace these lawyers, if he chooses. These lawyers "are James P. Wason in the welfare department; Charles W. Grubb, Fred R. Bechdolt and Glenn Cline, in the employment security division, and Francis N. Halimton in the health department, The other six lawyers employed by state departments are David I. Day and Byron B, Emswiller,

Senator Claims.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22 (U.P) — Senator Burton K. Wheeler (D, Mont.) said today that the indict-{ ment of 28 persons by a federal grand jury on sedition charges was “a. disgrace and ought to be Hivesitgated.” Senator Wheeler released an exchange of correspondence with Attorney General Francis Biddle in which Mr. Wheeler protested that

to “entrapment” measures to obtain the indictment in Washington, “where the greater part of the population is made up of government workers or people who are dependent upon the government, either directly or indirectly.” Mr. Wheeler said in his letter to Mr, Biddle he had read the indictment naming Gerald Winrod, Kansas isolationist editor; Mrs. Elizabeth Dilling, Chicago; William Dudley Pelley of Noblesville, Ind. and others, and found it to be “an attempt to smear the America First committee which was headed up by a group of the most loyal and patriotic citizens in America. . + .”

Cites 1-Day Probe

Mr. Biddle replied that the indictment was voted by a grand jury which studied the case for 71 days

nection of each individual. “Smearing was and is not our objective,” Mr. Biddle wrote. Mr. Wheeler rejected the 71 days of grand jury deliberations, ina

is “easy for a prosecuting attorney to indict anyone he wants to regerdless of the evidence.” :
