The report of the committee, which was made public yesterday afternoon at a meeting in the New Willard Ho- tel, concluded with the recommenda: ton that the alllance urze the bu- reau of chemistry to acquaint the people with the knowledge that the “leaching of flour {s a “deceptive and Acbasing process and not to be Tec- ommended to millers; that bakers be urged not to use bleached flour and millers not to.use the process, and that letters be written to the bakers' ind_millers’ organisations to_that affect.” An_executive of what is probably the second largest bakery in Wash- ington today, however, upon being con- sulted re'ative to charges of "fake' graham bread production, well as the use of bleached flour, denied any knowledge that Washington bakers were faking graham bread and de- clared that bleached flour was used because of the demand of the public for an article that would make bread white, even though !t is more expen- stve than unbleached flour. The report of the bread committee created a mild sensation at the meet- ing. In the closing paragraphs the report stated: “The committee further recom- mende,” declared the report, “that th bureatl of chemiatry be urged to tak: up the matter of {: graham bread. “The committee suggests that lead- ing experts be assked to discuss his matter further at our next meeting.

Representatives of civic ‘organiza- tions and Individual property owners of the section urged the commission fot to make the changs, which, they declared, would render impossibie the establishment of a park there Joseph I.

Owners Tire of Delay. Both Mr. Weller and Charles J. Bell, representing the trustees for the property, said that they hav Rever opposed the purchase of th tract for park purposes, but that the ended consideration of that proj- ect without action has had the effect of clouding the title and preventing development of the land. The McMillan park plan of 1900, Mr. Weller stated, provided for a park on the Patterson tract. But he point- ed out that three vears later the Union station act was passed, which for all time fixed upon that locality raliroad terminals. = Since then, he continued, much of the territors the north’ of Eckington has veloped into a warehouse district. He argued that if the change asked for is granted there would still re- main about half of the tract, com- prising the wooded highland, for park purposes. The owners of the iand, he said, feel that they are entitled to put their property to the best possible use. to Have Comsidered Home.
