Whiskey Turns Potatoes
Into Big Federal Profit
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. UP)
The government figures to
make a profit of more than $200,
000,000 on $42,000,000 spent so far
this year supporting producer
prices of the record crop of pota-
toes.
The profit prospect was out
lined by Agriculture Department
officials who explained:
The agency has purchased
32,000,000 bushels of surplus po
K tatoes at a cost of $42,000,000, in-
eluding handling and transporta
tion charges.
The potatoes were sold to
starch makers and liquor distill
ers for about $10,000,000 a loss
of $32,000,000.
But the whiskey produced from
the potatoes will bring in at least
$240,000,000 in liquor taxes, turn
ing the loss into a $208,000,000
government profit.

GUAM. Sept. 21. VP) A
typhoon roared today across this
big U. S. naval base and three
more fortified Mariana Islands to
the north, leaving heavy military
game in Myrtle Point territory.
Roseburg's
first score came
after a series of three first downs
had advanced the ball to the
Myrtle Point 16-yard marker,
from which point Pope tossed a
bulls-eye pass to Benson in the
end zone.
A pass from Evans to Benson,
from the 19 to the 5-yard line,
set up a second score early In the
second quarter. Pope picked up
four yards and Ullrich drove
through for the score.
Late in the second period, Har
vey and Pope combined to turn
in a spectacular play when Har
vey received a Myrtle Point punt
on his own 35-yard line, shook off
several, would-be tacklers, then
lateralled across field to Pope
who, ran 75"yards for the touch
down. The third quarter was score
less, although the Indians threat
ened twice, but two more scores,
one ifollowing a pass intercep
tion, were posted in the fourth
quarter.
In the final period Coach Ing
ram withdrew his first string, but
returned the starting lineup to
the field, when an interference
penalty threatened to erase the
potential shutout.
Pope's Kicking Accurate
An outstanding feature was
Pope's place kicking. He kicked
successfully for the extra point
after eich touchdown, but one
kick was canceled by a holding
penalty.
Roseburg's line carried spec
tacular power, particularly on
the left side, where Captain Bill
Marsters, 190, at tackle, opened
wide holes for Roseburg's gallop
ing backs. '

Big Food Chain
Found Guilty
Of Conspiracy
DANVILLE, III., Sept. 21. UP)
The huge A. & P. food chain,
one of the world's largest, 12 of
Us subsidiaries and 16 of Its of
ficers were convicted today of vlo
latinj the federal anti-trust law.
The defendants, including John
A. and George L. Hartford, chiefs
of the nationwide network of re-
tall outlets and affiliated opera
tions, were found guilty bv Fed
eral Judge Walter C. Lindley on
both counts 01 a criminal mior
mation. They were found to have con
spired to restrain trade in food
products and "to monopolize a
substantial part of such products
in interstate commerce." The
maximum penalty for each de
fendant would be a $5,000 fine
and a one-year prison sentence
on each of the two counts.
A. & P. Immediately announced
It would appeal, saying "we can
not conceive of this decision being
upheld by an Appellate Court for
we believe It to be In direct con
flict with the facts in the case
and the letter and spirit of the
Sherman (anti-trust) act."
Charges Detailed
The government, In bringing
the charges against A. & P., con
tended that the ramified organi
zation conspired to control "a sub
stantial part of the food business
of the United States." This was
done, the government set forth,
through these means:
Control of the interlocking buy
ing and selling subsidiaries was
unified in the New York head
quarters. Some retail stores were per

bo-jumbo" to apply to efficient op
erating methods.
The government charged that
all these practices were concealed
from the public.
A. & P. presented witnesses
and evidence to deny these
charges and Insisted its basic
philosophy was "it Is better to
serve a lot of customers with food
at low prices and earn a low rate
of net profit than to serve fewer
customers at nign prices witn a
