Wallace Protests Any Increase
In Present Prices Of Bread\
WASHINGTON. Oct. 23 —While
declaring there is .some justification
lor an increase in bread prices. Sec
retary Wallace is on record with an
assertion that if the increase is as
much as one cent a loaf, the bakers
owe an explanation to the public.
‘The most up-to-date figures we
have.” he told reporters, “make us
wonder if bakers' increase in costs
warrant an increase in price of a
cent a loaf.”
Reports to the secretary of agri
culture and his aides indicate that
bakers intend to boast their prices
as much as a cent a loaf throughout
:the nation, it was said. This jump,
the officials said.' would cast con
cbmers millions of dollars annually.
In response to questions, Wallace
told reporters that the baking in
dustry had begun its arguments for
a price increase last, month "when
prioes were lower than a year ago.”
“While there is some justification
lor an increase,” he said, “it seems
bo me tha bakers owe some explana
tion to the'pubUc as to why the in
crease of as much as a rent at this
time.”
Agriculture department figures,
the secretary said, estimated that on
September 24, the cost of ingredients
m a loaf of bread was 0.52 of a cent
greater than at the same time last
year. The flour increase was .35 per
eenk eugar .01. malt 01, shortening
IS and dried milk .02.

J«dg« Warlick
May Seek Seat
In 0. S. Senate
OrpLE DDMIMMH
R*LJaaH, Oot. 23.—Judge Wil
son Warlick, Newton of the 16th
district, la now being considered by
some of the political powers that be
a* a possible candidate to oppose
Senator Robert R. Reynolds In 1988,
, it is being rumored.
' Nor does Judge Warlick deny that
there Is something In the wind that
blows In that direction, and him
self goes so far as to admit having
heard of such talk.
This Is a bit surprising, as a story
was broken from Charlotte months
ago that a group of Reynolds sup^
• porters met in that city for the pur
* pose ofmawrera start toward off
ering Judge Warlick as Governor in
the next June primary. Just h<?w
much there was to suoh a story was
never known publicly, as it was de
nied that such a meeting had been
planned.
The present report goes stHl fur
ther. Including the rumor that
Judge Warlick was thinking serious
ly of entering the race for Congress
in the 10th district against Con
~ gressraao A, J* Bulwinkle, and Will
iam T. Scholl, Charlotte, and Claude
B. Wolta, Gastonia, already an
nounced, and with the possibility
that Hamilton C. Jones, Charlotte,
who twice opposed Congressman
Bulwinkle, and Joseph W. Brwln,
Charlotte, may also enter that race.
However, that thought, N any,
seems to have given way to the
other, that the present Senator
* will face Judge Warlick in the
Democratic primary in June, 1038.
And, aa noted. Judge Warlick ad
mitted having heard such reports
himself while attending the N. C.
State Bar meeting in Raleigh last
Friday.
Of course, much can intervene in
the neat two years and a half un
til the 1938 primary, and much will
• transpire In the 1936 primary, such
as nominating a governor and other
stata officers, a U. S. Senator, a
post now held by Senator J. W,
Bailey, and a flock of congressmen
and judges
But the report that Judge War
lisk may oppose Senator Reynolds
is pretty well founded, apparently,
and the Intervening political activi
ties are not calculated to overturn
the dope pot completely, even in
two or more years.
