County Welfare Union Will Ask Re

Council Bluffs, la. The Pottawat
tamie county board of supervisors
will be asked by Roy Harrop, legal
adviser of the county welfare union
here, to remove Dr. M. J. Carey, coun
ty field physician, on charges that
he refused to answer to a maternity
case call, resulting in a woman's giv
ing birth to her baby on a sidewalk.
Mrs. Richard Barber, 24, the moth
er, and her baby son, who made his
debut on the sidewalk outside pi
Mercy hospital, were reported "do-
ng fine" Thursday.
According to the story told by Doc
tor Carey, the Barbers had been told
by their social worker to call in a
private physician.
"Of course I refused the call," Doc
tor Carey said. "I answer calls ap
proved by the ovrseer of the poor.
Their request for a physician's serv
ices had been rejected by the county
office. Besides, I was asked to go as
the county physician, not as a pri
vate physician."
Richard Barber, the father, had
borrowed a truck from his employer
to transport his wife to the hospital
after Doctor Carey had refused to
come to their home. The baby was
born a few steps from the door be
fore the mother could be carried into
the hospital.

Washington, Aug. 3. The Roose
velt administration embarked today
on a program to prevent prices to
consumers of products from bacon to
night shirts from rising faster than
the purchasing power of farmers and
workers.
The first move was taken by farm
administrators in announcing that a
weekly list of prices paid by con
sumers and paid to farmers, together
with changes in wgae levels, would
be issued.
The first will come out next week
under the dirction of Dr. Fred C.
Cowe, consumers' counsel for farm
administrators. It will show surveys
of prices in 50 cities for about 40
food and textile products most com
monly purchased.
This part of the administration
program will be fact-finding and aim
ed to Drovide consumers with the
most recent information available re
garding changes in costs of the es
sentials of life.
Provides for Inquiries.
Another part contemplates that,
in instances where price increases,
after allowances for differences In
transportation and other costs, ap
pear to be uniformly higher in one
locality than another, investigations
will be undertaken to determine
w hether antitrust laws are being vio
lated. Administrators have conflicting re
ports as to price trends in connec
tion with the recovery program. One
set indicates price rises to consumers
may proceed at a much faster rate
than increaess in prices to farmers
for their products and the rise In
wage scales.
On the other hand .administrators
have received the assurance of many
of the large distributing organiza
tions that the rises will not proceed
at a faster rate and that a special
attempt is being made by them to
co-operate with the recovery pro
gram.
Want to Play Fairly.
Howe said that "many manufac
turers and distributors have declared
their readiness to play fairly and
squarely with the administration in
its efforts."
The point which is of most con
cern to farm administrators, it was
said, is the possibility of sharp ap
preciation of inventories of proces
sors and distributors of goods pur
chased during a period or low prices
for which higher prices would be
charged by the time the goods en
tered consumption channels. A close
check will be kept.
We will publish retail prices on
bread, milk, meat and other food
necessities," said Howe.
Will Check Against Costs.
Second, we propose to check
against these prices and show the
money the farmer gets for produc
ing the raw materials that go into
these foods. Farmers have too long
been getting a small rturen for their
labor in feeding us. We are trying
to increase their pay. If we want
farmers to buy city-made goods at
fair prices we must buy their farm
products at fair prices.
"Third, we are going to report on
increases In labor costs as the re
sult of the raises in wages and new
employment. Fourth, we will report
on what the farmers are having to
pay for the goods they must buy."

President Roosevelt Orders Immediate
Administration of Funds
Available.
COLORADO GIVEN HEARING
Washington. The public adminis
tration deferred action on housing
projects in more than thirty cities to
wait reports from its engineers on
the feasibility of many of them. The
Fpecial public works board headed by
Secretary Ickes, the public works
administrator, received a partial re-
pert from the board of consultants
which has been studying slum clear
ance projects but did not act because
the information was not considered
sufficiently complete.
Ickes discussed with the board
his decision to permit Colorado to
present its claims to water rights on
the North Platte river In connection
with the allotment by the board of
$22,700,000 for the Casper-Alvoca
power-irrigation project in Wyoming.
Governor Johnson of Colorado, altho
not disapproving the Caeper-Alcova
scheme, had asked for a hearing in a
letter to President Roosevelt. After
the meeting Ickes indicated that Colo
rado's righ tto water in the river
could be protected by recognition of
its privilege to reserve certain flow
age at any time there was develop
ment of the Poudre district of Colo
rado. -
Hyde Park, N. "5-. Orders for im
mediate and quick administration of
the 2 billion dollars for relief of debt
burdened small home owners were
given by President Roosevelt. In a
talk with Vincent Dailey, New York
state manager of the Home Owners
Loan corporation, the president em
phasized he wanted to extend at the
earliest possible moment this federal
aid to reduec the debts of the home
owners. Dailey assured him he would
be ready to offer the 4 percent gov
ernment bonds in exchange for the 6
and 7 percent interest-bearing mort
gages early next week. Dailey's de
claration that "we are going to the
people rather than waiting for them
to come to us," was regarded. as re
flecting the action which the presi
dent wants othef tsate administra
tors of thi3 fund to take. Dailey es
timated 30 percent of the total fed
eral funds, or about 800 millions will
be employed in the Empire state
alone.
The vacationing president also
turned his attention to several prob
lems of government. He talked over
problems of the federal trade com
mission with Raymond Stephens, a
democratic member. A reorganiz
ation of this commission, which is
charged with enforcement of the new
securities regulation, is known to be
contemplated. There have been in
dications that William E. Humphrey,
a republican of the old school, is due
to be retired in favor of another
but unknown republican. Roosevelt
also is studying the establishment of
the corporation to protect the inter
ests of holders of defaulted foreign
bonds. The president interrupted his
round of business for a brief call by
Mayor O'Brien of -New York city.

LONG OPPOSED TO RECOUNT
New Orleans. Proposed recount
of all ballot boxes used in last Novem
ber's general election here was open
ly assailed by Senator Huey P. Long
as the criminal district court, which
authorized the recount, . moved to
select a new grand jury for Orleans
parish. The old jury was ousted by
the court after it had made repeated
unsuccessful attempts to "no bill
charges that fraud occurred in the
"official returns" from constitution
al amendments sponsored by the
Long organization. An open court
recount of the first six of the con
tested boxes under supervision of
District Attorney Stanley reduced the
majority for one of the amendments
by 805 votes. Long charged the
boxes had been "tampered with by
my political enemies."
He disclaimed any responsibility
for tho selection of the commissioners
who served in the election, but add
ed, "I am able to take care of myself
and my friends and with Sullivan's
sransr handling the ballot boxes no
one need fear but what any election
commissioner will have the proper
protection to which he is entitled.'
He did not particularize his refer
ence to "Sullivan's gang."

Smooth Set of Thieves
Acting on advance information
that there would be attempts made
to raid someone's chicken house on
last Tuesday night, a committee was
waiting for the thieves, taking every
precaution to apprehend and capture
them, and although many remained
up throughout the night, the thieves
were able to make their touch and
secured a large number of fowls at
the home of Uncle G. V. Pickwell and
his daughter, Mrs. Harry Davis, on
the farm a mile and a half west of
town. The evening before a coop
had been filled for James Warren
the Murdock produce dealer, who was
to pick up the fowls early in the
morning. While people were station
ed at different points and a couple of
officers were stationed on top of the
Murdock school building, the thieves
succeeded in their mission and got
away with the fowls.
This is the third time the yard3 of
Mr. Pickwell and daughter have been
raided and in all they have lost over
300 chickens. The shooting of the
burglar who was in the act of rob
bing the store of Henry Amgwert a
few months ago, seems not to have
had any effect to deter. the criminal
element from coming back for more,
but the loading up of a few shotguns
with buckshot and their use when
ever prowlers are heard might get
the desired results. Certainly some
thing ought to be done to prevent
this widespread robbing of the hen
roosts.
