The danger OF a wheat shortage in

Mr.: Canbyy ca said there We're contracts

Of Justice up to the present time to find
evidence Of a conspiracy to control food

caused any let-up in the investigate
Attorney General Gregory told the
President at todays Cabinet meeting
that agents Of his department were
vigorously running down all dues that
would indicate any illegal combina ton
to corner food supplies.
Mr.. Gregory indicate the Department
Of Justice would insist on examining
the books Of grain brokers to ascertain
the character of future \trades in grain
and thereby learn whether these trans
actions were made with the idea OF
actual trades In rain or were merely
speculative ventures He stated the
brokers had not objected to a full dis
closure Of present tradings. but con-
tended that they could not be required
to disclosure information on future
deals. which information was of a con-
fidential nature.
The Attorney General added that
while the department was principally
concerned with an investigation into
grain prices 1t was also probing into
conditions indicating local efforts in
certain parts of the country to control
other food prices. for example. on po-
tatoes.
