G HOOVER IS TOLD OF PRICE GOUGING IN DROUTH EMERGENCY Congressman La Guardia Tells of Rapid Increase of Price to the Consumer RED CROSS FUNDS SCANNED Rail Rate Cut Is First Step in Re- lief. Work Until Governors’ Meeting Thursday ‘Washington, Aug. 13.—(7)—A com- plaint of an “undue” increase in prices of fresh vegetables in New York City as a result of the drought was laid befor€ President Hoover today by Representative La Guardia of New York. La Guardia said “second-grade” fresh vegetables were selling from 25 to 30 per cent higher in the metrop- olis, since drought reports began to come in. He did not blame the retailers; say- ing the commission merchant, jobber, or wholesaler, or all three together, were responsible. He said milk, eggs and butter prices also were up, but held that might be justified because of the drought’s ‘ef- fect on cattle feed. Wants Reports Made “There is a tendency to take an undue advantage of the drought to jack up prices,” he said. He added he would ask the agricul- ture department for a report on fresh ‘vegetables moving into New York City and the wholesale prices being paid farmers in order that a careful check may be had on consumer charges. La Guardia, a Republican, said the president requested him to take up the matter with the department of agri- culture. The representative made an appointment with Secretary Hyde for later in the day. He said unless some immediate action was taken to prevent unneces- sary price increases, “very drastic steps will be taken by consumers.” Hyde Hasn’t Heard Secretary Hyde said before La Guardia’s protest that no specific in- stances of profiteering in food stuffs had been called to his attention but the agriculture department was on the alert. He asserted there was no cause for alarm among housewives.~ The only crop shortage, Hyde said, was in corn, hay and pastures for cattle. Out of a normal production of 2,800,000.000 bushels of corn, only about 75,000,000 are used for human consumption. ‘While there was a slight decline in garden crops this could be made up, he said in many places outside the drought area. * Hyde was an early caller at the ‘white house. He went over with Pres- ident Hoover last minute details pre- fparatory to the conference at which ‘nachinery for @ cooperative federal- (State relief program will be set up. ‘Weather Is Promising " ‘The weather showed signs of co- perating with the Hoover drought conference, good rains in the last 24 hours being reported from Missouri with showers forecast in the corn belt tonight and tomorrow. Other light rains gave’ some relief in the northern part of the Missis- sippi valley but the dry weather still ils over most of the 12 states ‘which will be represented at the gov- ernors’ meeting tomorrow. President Hoover today callea John Barton Payne, chairman of the American Red Cross, to the white house to assure himself funds were available should the Red Cross be called upon. Judge Payne told the president the Red Cross was ready and that'$5,000,- 000 was available for instant use.
