Losing Bettor
On Grid Game
Gets Off in Court
A Treasury Department account
ant lost $5 by betting on the wrong
football team, but won a suspended
fine of $5 in Police Court yesterday
for using strong language in ex
pressing his feelings about the game.
Judge Walter J. Casey suspended
the fine of Elvin C. James, 42, of
the 400 block of Concord avenue
N.W, after the defendant explained
how he lost $5 in betting on the
University of Detroit against Cath
olic University Saturday.
Mr. James was leaving the game
in his car when he was stopped by
Policeman Thomas O’Donnell, di
recting traffic there, for failing to
heed his whistle. The officer said
Mr. James, preoccupied with the
outcome of the game, immediately
began using the strong language
with reference to the ability of the
Detroit team to score only 13 points
against C. U.’s 14.
Mr. James admitted this was true
and explained to the judge how he
had given five points. Judge Casey
suspended the fine.

Moulton Warns
That Booming Prices
Will Bring Collapse
Magnates Told They
Should Fall; Coming
Months Seen Crucial
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Oct. 18.—Harold O.
Moulton, president of Brookings In
stitution, and member of the Fed
eral War Resources Board, told sev
eral hundred leading financiers, in
dustrialists and publicists yesterday
that “economic developments on the
North American continent in com
ing months may well prove of de
cisive importance to the whole fu
ture of industrial civilization.”
A runaway price situation will
bring collapse and depression, he
warned.
Mr. Moulton was the chief speaker
at an annual “automobile show”
luncheon given by Alfred P. Sloan,
jr„ chairman of General Motors
Corp., who described the Brookings
Institution as “an oasis of straight
economic thinking in a desert of
confusion.”
Guests included John D. Rocke
feller, jr.; Bernard M. Baruch,
Thomas W. Lamont, and scores of
top-ranking bank and corporation
officers.
Mr. Moulton warned industrialists'
who have been too optimistic over
business expansion caused by an
ticipated war orders. He asked:
“What if the war should end sud
denly? Even if it proves to be of
long duration, what will be the ulti
mate repercussions upon this coun
try? Are we not now riding the
wind and promoting a business
boom with the familiar distortion
of prices, wages and other cost
factors? Are we not sure to see
sooner or later, and perhaps sooner
rather than later, a new collapse
and another protracted period of
painful readjustment?”
Prices Should Fall.
Mr. Moulton asked that the de
sirable objectives be stated as fol
lows:
"The economic goal of the United
States at this time should be to
make full utilization of our eco
nomic resources In expanding pro
duction without permitting a gen
eral Inflation of prices and a de
struction of equilibrium In the eco
nomic system.”
Pointing out huge surplus stores
of most raw materials, adequate
labor supplies, except for some
skilled branches, readily expandable
productive capacity and "super
abundant” stores of money and
credit, he said:
• "There Is, thus, no scarcity basis
for a great advance in the general
level of commodity prices. • • * It
would seem clear that as output
expands unit costs of production
should, for a time, fall. • • •
"Manufacturing industry is at the
moment confronted with the fact
that raw material prices as a group
are now approximately 10 per cent
higher than in August, In many
cases 25 per cent.
“There is much reason for believ
ing that the great upsurge In raw
material buying which has oc
curred since August has resulted in
a greater price advance in many
raw materials than is warranted by
the fundamental supply and de
mand factors. • • •.
Europe May Not Buy Widely.
“European purchases may well be
of a much more restricted character
than has generally been assumed.”
Mr. Moulton pointed out the
greatly-diminished credit base of
the Allies, compared with the World
War. the lack of the frantic com
petition for American supplies
which prevailed during the first
years and sent our prices skyrocket
ing and the possibly diminished
need for United States supplies,
except in a few lines.
Furthermore, he said, further ad
i —————
vances in raw material prices might
“restrict foreign purchases. * * *
The magnitude of European war
demands may well have been mls
gauged. If so, the increase in pro
duction schedules and in raw ma
terial prices has overshot the mark."
Raw material prices, he said, might
not go higher; “there is quite as
much reason for believing they will
go lower.
“If the well-known vicious spiral is
to be checked, it must be checked in
its early stages.”
