Penalty Evasion
Washington, Jury 11 CV Wheat

crop control programs would par

psased by the senate yesterday and
sent to the White House.
The changes would apply when

wheat growers, complying with acre
age limitations, to market their en

from previous years not subject to
penalties, .

Present Week
Not So Good
For Retailers
New York, July 31 Buying In
retail stores at leading centers of
distribution throughout th United
States this week lagged under last,
but ran 7 to 13 per cent above a
year ago, Dun s Brads treet report
ad today.
Meantime, buying tn wholesale
markets continued to expand.
"Although consumer demand con.
turned brisk for light summer ap
parel, vacation necessities, and soma
lines of nous furnishings, retail
trad activity on th whole wai
moderately lower than a week ago,'
th survey said.
To some extent, th decline
seemed attributable to shortages of
desirable merchandise; this was an
Important factor In department
stores, when stock of many types
of summer goods were frequently
reported too low to warrant the
usual heavy clearance promotions.
"A few stores felt that th reduc
tion tn WPA rolls was already cut
ting Into sales totals, but th ma
jority found no appreciable change
as yet tn this type of buying."
While retail trade marked time,
wholesale buying gathered mo
mentum, the review said, adding:
"As In th past fortnight, the
main wholesale Interest waa cent
ered on new fall lines. Requests
for sal goods were still numerous
but little summer merchandise of
the deslrerd type and quality was
available.
Wholesalers reported th out
standing features of the fall buying
continued to be th Increased call
for better quality goods snd the
strong emphasis on prompt ship
ments. Retailers who were satis
fied last year with September de
livery were found to be demanding
merchandise In the stores by mid-
August.
'Merchandise for August and Sep
tember promotions was th center
of Interest in house furnishing
