'Cutting of All Food
Prices to Be Hoover's
First Work in Service
Washington, May SO.—Reduction of
the high prices the consumer pays for
'lood, It was announced to-day, will bo
[one of the first aims of the food ad
fjnlnlstration which will be created,
►-with Herbert O. Hoover at Its head,
1 BS eoon as Congress posses the Gov
ernment's food-control legislation.
This will bo undertaken by cutting
down the margin between producer
i and consumer through a system of
; executives under the central adminis
tration, each to study means of short
ening the speculative clan that han
'dles a particular commodity. Proba
'bly the first staples to be studied will
r be grain, flour, meat and sugar.
Stability of prices, Mr. Hoover be
lieves, Is vital to the successful lower
ing of costs to the consumer, both
here and abroad. The executives will
have under them boards on which will
be represented producer, middleman
and consumer. Their efforts will be
in the direction of modification of
present trade methods and the stim

To Advise on lluying
The system of executive boards will'
be one of several divisions into which
the administration will be divided.
One duty of the executives will be to
advise on allied purchasing, which Mr.
Hoover and Government officials nope
will be removed from a competitive
basis when the allies have established

of Aviation Recruits
Washington, May 30. —The army
needs aviation recruits, This an
nouncement was made to-day to cor
rect an erroneous Impression that the
aviation personnel of the army Is
filled up. Army officers have repeat
edly said that the aviation section
was crowded, but the department to
day officially announced that young
men are wanted as aviators. Recruits
may apply to the aeronautical officer
at the nearest department headquar
ters, or the personnel section. Signal

The qualifications for a flyer are,
roughly speaking, a man with a cool
head, a good eye for distance, levels
and angles, a steady hand, a good
sense of equilibrium, and absolutely
sound body and a certain amount of
education and the ability to reason.
