AS
Federal Officials Would Aid
Domestic Supply to Keep
Drinkables Within Reach
of Slim American Purses
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. (AP) De
termined to bring tho prices for
whiskies, ryea and other newly le
galized potables Into easier reach or
slim pocketbooks, federal officials to
day contemplated increasing liquor
Importations to swell the domestic
supply.
The administration also prepared
to use as a club If necessary, lta au
thority over the price charged by
distillers, wholesalers. Importers, rec
tifiers and blenders..
Prices Must Tumble.
Although direct power over retail
prices was lacking, the word emanat
ing today from authoritative quarters
was that, unless charges to con
sumers tumbled sharply after the
present Immediate period of expected
confusion, the government would
wield It authority drastically to
bring about what was termed a bet
ter competitive condition.
Indications of. official displeasure
over present high prices were numer
ous. Representative Cochran, Mis
souri Democrat, went so far as to
urge a drinkers' strike unless quota
tions came down. Asserting holders
of warehouse receipts were gouging
the public, he declared "47 a quart
for whiskey, no matter how old, la
outrageous."
Import Authorized.
In the matter of Increasing Im
ports to enlarge the domestic supply,
authority already is out for bring
ing In a large quantity of Canadian
bourbon and rye for blending and
other purposes. Blanket licenses also
have been Issued to Importers for Im
mediate shipment into the country of
5.000,000 gallons of spirits and wines.
In addition, negotiations were
pressed today with foreign nations
" for Increasing their liquor imports
Into the United States In exchange
for Increased importations by them
of American products.
Secretary Wallace disclosed the
first specific negotiation yesterday In
speaking of his corn-hog program
He said efforts were under way to
allow England to Mncrease its ex
ports to here of Irish and Scotch
whiskies in exchange for that country
raising Its Import limit on meat and
other farm products.
Distillers Promise Cut.
Prom the private liquor authorities,
meanwhile, came assurances that
prices would come down. Dr. James
H. Doran, former commissioner of in
dustrial alcohol, and now spokesman
for the association of distilled spirits
industry, said he felt sure prices
would drop as distribution difficulties
lessened.
Doran said that as soon as his staff
was organized he would submit to
the federal alcohol control adminis
tration a lts of distillers prices. The
PACA could reject these prices should
they be considered too high.
Street work in Medford, made pW
slble under the Civil Worka Adminis
tration, waa progressing rapidly to
day, city Superintendent Fred Schcf
fel announced. LJndley avenue and
MoAndrewa are now being gravelled
and the work on Dakota is practically
half completed.
Monroe street, which takes off Holly
toward the new high school building
on Oakdale. is also being improved,
the object being to relieve traffic on
Oakdale, increased by location of the
school.
WARDEN TOO LENIENT;
IS OUSTED BY IDAHO
WEST OVERLOOKED
BOISE, Idaho, Dec. 8 AP) After
stormy session, the state prison
board on a dtided vote today ousted
George Rudd as warden or the Idaho
penitentiary because of alleged exces
sive leniency to prisoners, Including

year to life sentence for poisoning
her fourth husband.
wheat out
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. (AP) Al
though Oregon, Washington and
Idaho are among wheat producing
states of the country, they failed to
place in the list of recipients of
checks mailed prior to December 1
to farmers, co-operating In the agri
cultural administrations wheat pro
gram. Checks totaling $3,316,559 have
been mailed to 51,909 rarmers in 19
states, but only Utah of the north
ern Rocky Mountain and Pacific
Coast states was listed as having re
ceived a portion of the funds. Weber
county in that atate received 5836.29
divided among 162 farmers.
Nevada and Colorado of the Rocky
Mountain area received a total of
6595 and $3219 respectively.
Checks for the first of two pay
ments to farmers w,ho have agreed
to reduce their 1934 acreage by 15
per cent will be sent out throughout
the winter, amounting to 30 cents a
bushel on each farmers reduction al
lotment. A second payment of 8
cents a bushel, out of which will
come administration costs In each
county, will be made next spring.
It Is estimated the payments will
total approximately 9102,000.
The AAA said appdoxlmately 80
per cent of the average national
planted acreage has been aigned up
in the campaign which will result
in more than 8,000,000 acres being
removed from wheat production next
year.
PATH CLEAR FOR
IE
SALEM. Dec. 8 (AP) What is be
lieved to be the last obstacle to ap
proval of Oregon's application for
5.000.000 or PWA loan and grant
funds for the construction of five
bridges on the Coast highway was
believed removed when Governor
Meier attached his signature to house
bill 78 and filed It with the secre
tary of state.
The bill authorises the highway
commission to contract with the fed
eral government for a loan In the
amount of $4,500,000 to be repaid out
of tolls Imposed on traffic over the
bridges.
Immediately upon receipt of word
that the bill had been signed, J. M.
Devers, attorney for the highway
commission, prepared to submit reso
lutions carrying the contracts Into
effect to the highway commission.
