See Bread Price
Rise; Wallace is
Watching Trend
Says Plans to Protect Consumer
Against Being Victimized
Wallace Powers.
The price of bread is going up with
in a few days, bakers aay, and Uncle
Sam i3 going to look into the matter
at once, with a view to protecting
consumers. -
Iowa bakers announced Friday that
the pound loaf will advance July 5
from 5 cents to 8, and the two-pound
loaf from 10 to 12 cents, and the
Nebraska Bakers' association meeting
at Omaha may determine how much
the price may advance in Nebraska.
And in Washington Secretary Wal
lace said he will investigate the mat
ter in Iowa, his home state, while
several members of the farm admin
istration staff began a check of the
situation there.
The Iowa bakers gave as their era
son for boosting the price the recent
increase in the market price of wheat
and the proposed processing tax
which goes into effect July 8. Wal
lace already had said that the farm
administration would take "a firm
stand against using any processing
tax as an excuse for pyramiding the
cost of a commodity to consumers."
Joe Carr of Lincoln, president of
the Nebraska Bakers' association, in
announcing he was calling the meet
ing at Omaha for today, said it was
inevitable that there would have to
be an increase in bread prices, due
to the advance in the price of flour
with the rising market price ot
wheat. Both Iowa and Nebraska bak
ers said flour which cost S3 a barrel
three weeks ago now costs them So
to $5.50 a barrel.
Omaha bakers are agreed that there
must be a price rise, but say noth
ing has been finally agreed on. Re
tail dealers have been told to expect
a rise' next week.
Bread now sells at 6 and 2-3 cents
a pound 10 cents for a pound and a
half loaf, 5 cents for a three-fourths
pound loaf. This represents a dror
of 20 psr cent since early in 1929,
when tne price was 10 cents a pound
15 cents for a pound and a half
loaf.
Under the new farm act Wallace
has two principal powers to deal with
the problem of prices to consumers.
He can make public figures and facts
showing how much, in his opinion, a
PRESENT FINE ATTRACTION
A number of Plattsmouth people
were at Omaha Friday evening where

PICTURES LIFE OF CTRTTffE
Chicago, June 28- Scientists who
study crime and its causes went to
school with a criminal and learned
"how the other half lives." Their
teacher was Frank Smith, ex-pickpocket.
Smith, whose real name is
something else, is a professional pick
pocket on parole. He spoke on "so
cial relationships of the professional
thief" before a symposium on crime
sponsored by the association's section
of sociology.
Professional thieves, he said, such
as confidence men and pickpockets,
have a higher code of ethics among
themselves than amateur criminals
such as young hoodlums who might
hold up a delicatessen store. The
professionals usually work in "mobs"
of three or four, one doing the steal
ing and the others acting as help
ers, but all share alike in the pro
ceeds. There is no "big shot" who
gets more than the others. ' Even
when a single member of the "mob"
steals something without aid of his
co-workers, he still must share with
them. Professional thieves seldom
have to "squawk" on each ather in
court. Smith said, because when they
are caught they usually can silence
the victim by returning the money
through a dishonest policeman or in
some other way, and avoid being
brought to trial.
ASK COMPENSATION RETURN
Washington. A 4-point plan hav
ing as its objective the regaining for
the veterans most of the benefits of
which they were stripped under the
economy act was outlined here at the
first of a series of regional confer
ences of the national rehabilitation
committee of the American Legion.
Northwestern states were represent
ed and the four point program was
drawn up for the recommendation to
the various state conventions of the
legion prior to the national conven
tion at Chicago, Oct. 2-5.
The program decided on follows:
That no war veteran disabled in
line of duty shall suffer any reduc
tion in the benefits he received prior
to the economy law.
That the federal government hos
pitalize veterans who require hos
pital treatment but are not able to
pay for it.
That the service connection rating
proprely granted veterans under laws
before the economy law be perpet
uated. That benefits for dependents of
veterans not be tampered with.
ASKS REOPENING OF BANKS
Detroit. Michigan's attorney gen
eral appealed to President Roosevelt
for a personal interview at which he
hopes to place before the chief execu
tive reasons why he believes two
closed national banks in Detroit
should be reopened. Decision to make
the appeal was reached by Attorney
General O'Brien after he had failed
to obtain before the one man grand
jury now conducting hearings into
the closings. The receivers, B. C.
Schram for the closed Guardian Na
tional Bank of Commerce and C. O.
Thomas for the closed First National
bank of Detroit, refused to be sworn
in after they had been subpoenaed to
appear before the jury Thursday.
They said the jury had no jurisdic
tion. Miss Mary Jane Hughes, of Omaha,
is here to enjoy a visit with her
school friend, Miss Maxine Cloidt, a
classmate at the University of Nebraska.

War Depart
ment's Request
for River Work
237 Million Asked for Waterways and
150 Jiillion for Flood Control
Details are Withheld.
Whether upper Missouri river de
velopment work is included in the
war department's request for funds,
submitted to the public works admin
istration Thursday, is uncertain, as
details of the various projects to be
included were not given out.
Washington, June 29. A 3S7 mil
lion dollar flood control and rivers
and harbors program was asked
from the public works administration
today by the war department, while
the cabinet board in charge of the
3,300 million-dollar public construc
tion fund pondered the possibility of
taking half of its workers from ex
isting relief rolls.
In sending its program to the pub
lic works board, the war department
brought its requested share in the
construction fund to 522 million dol
lars, or approximately one-sixth of
the total. Previously the war depart
ment had asked 135 million dollars
for housing.
Details of the war department re
quest now in the hands of Donald H.
Sawyer, public works administrator,
were withheld. Although both army
and public works officials declined to
comment, it was understood 237 mil
lion dollars was asked for rivers and
harbors and 150 million dollars for
flood control.
Harry L. Hopkins, federal relief
administrator, brought the question
of hiring men from relief rolls before
the public works board with a sug
gestion that in employing workers
on the building project, 50 per cent
should come from relief rolls and the
others from among unemployed per
sons still able to sustain themselves.
The board will meet again tomor
row before reaching a decision. Sec
retary Ickes, chairman, announced
the board had decided to take no ac
tion relative to prohibiting employ
ment of men from the reforestation
camps, while on the question of stipu
lating half the workers should come
from charity lists, he said:
"The board wants to relieve the
relief rolls so far as is consistent
with the rights of those not on re
lief rolls."
POLICE CHIEF IS ACCUSED
Oskaloosra, la. Justice of the
Peace Dartley announced charges oi
murder had been filed against Police
Chief Allgood in connection with the
death of her son, Gerald, 23, of
Eddyville, by Mrs. Mary Blackwood.
The boy died in a hospital last Fri
day from a wound inflicted by All
good when the police chief. Sheriff
Hook, and a deputy sheriff were ton
ducting a liquor raid on an island
in the Des Moines river.
A coroner's jury found EJackwood
came to his death from a shot fired
by Allgood while the latter was "on
duty as a deputy sheriff." Bartley
said that he intended to arrest All

had not yet "had time to read thoro

of June 16 when he "came upon All
good, Oskaloosa police chief. Sheriff
Hook, and Deputy Van Genderson as
they were about to destroy a still on

Pension Totals
Halved as Cuts
Go Into Effect
Slash of 34S Millions in Soldier Com
pensation Put in Force Begin
ning of Fiscal Year.
Washington. The pension rolls
will be lightened by almost one-half
Saturday by the Roosevelt economy
program. The beginning of the new
fiscal year brought veterans' expendi
tures down from 1933 appropriations
that aggregated $927, 949,000 to esti
mates totaling $5S1,988000 for the
new year, a reduction of $345,961,
000. However, not all this amount
came out of benefits previously paid
former soldiers. Fifty mlilion dollars
of the reduction was accounted for
by a decrease in the 1933 appropria
tion of 100 millions for the fund that
is being set aside yearly to pay the
bonus in 1945. The appropriation
for the fiscal year, 1934, was halved.
Benefit payments to between 400,
000 and 500,000 men who served in
the World and Spanish-American
wars stopped at midnight. Estimates
of these savings aggregated 135 mil
lions. Compensation to thousands of
other former service men will be less
than last year. The total of the esti
mated 193 4 funds fo rthe veterans!
administration is $002,838,000.
Approximately 387,000 World war
veterans who heretofore received dis
ability allowances for ailments not
directly connected with their service
will be removed from the rolls.
About 74,000 Spanish-American war
veterans likewise came off. In addi
tion, there are several thousand vet
erans in other classifications, suen
as the C,014 emergoncy retired of
ficers. Between one-half and two
thirds of these men go off the rolls.
An end to hospitalizing veterans
whose troubles were not connected
with service came also but veterans
administration officials said there
would be adequate facilities for all
former soldiers for disabilties or dis
eases resulting from their war serv
ice in spite of reduction in the hos
pital and domiciliary care fund from
113 millions to $S5, 773,000. Veter
ans administration officials were un
able to estimate how many former
soldiers would be affected by the
hospitalization reduction but said
that only one hospital, at Dwight,
111., ,had been suspended under the
economy program. They estimated
that the cost of this hospital for
1933 was approximately $225,589.
Permanent and tota"y disabled
veterans, even tho in the non-service
connDcted class, will continue to re
ceive benefit payments. There are
approximately 30,000 of these, for
which $10,142,760 is allotted for
1934 as compared with $93,025,064
appropriated in 1933 for 414,491
veterans who received non-service
connected disability allowances.
Disability compensation, which is
the .designation of payments to for
mer soldiers for injuries or diseases
considered of service origin, will be
cut varying amount in individual
cases. There are 33S.100 soldiers in
this classification. For them the
1934 estimate is $118,272,240 as
compared with the IS 33 appropria
tion of $203,6S9,169.
The total compensation paid to de
pendents of veterans, including wid
ows, children and parents, will be
decreased but slightly. The 1934 to
tal is $36,830,000, compared with a
1933 appropriation of $37,5S1,6S5.
The total allowed for 1934 for veter
ans of the Spanish-American and
Boxer rebellion is $61,791, 44 as
compared with $119,649,232 lor
1933. Veterans adminstration offi
cials were unable to estimate how
many Spanish-American war veter
ans would go off the rolls but the
Spanish-American war veterans as
sociation said most of the 123,000
left on the rolls would receive pen
sions cf $13 a month.
Officials of the veterans organiza
tion said that, under the economy
law, veterans C2 and over who pre
viously received from $30 up to $60
a month if 75 years or elder, here
after would get $15 a month unless
totally disabled, in which event they
will get $30. State Journal.
