The Amendments
The majority report. accompanying the

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1n.--Attorncy
General Palmer made il clear today that
the department Of justice is watching
closely dealers suspected OF profFcerinE

result when congress passes the Arpcnd-
mcnt to the food control law.
Th" question was raised whether tho
