SCOTT AT RUMOR
 FENG IS QUITTING
Call Report Propaganda to Cover
 Up Government Failure

Peiping, China, Oct. 1-tP-Re- ports from Ranking asserting that Feng Yu-Hsiang had decided to re- tire from the civil war owing to serious reverses in Honan province were generally regarded in this northern coalition capital today as propaganda designed to cover up the governments failure to dis lodge Feng, known as the Christian General" from his stronghold in Chengchow.
 Dispatches received here from independent sources stated that President Chiang Kali -Shek's govern- ment forces were repulsed with heavy losses after getting within two miles of their objective, while kuominchung army of Feng made vigorous counter attacks and are gained most of the ground which the government troops had previous ly won at high cost.
 The kuominchun successes were credited 10 three things-the fact that they fought a defensive battle
  in strong entrenchments, to the providential capture of an airplane carrying Ranking campaign plans, and their ability to operate on their inner lines at the same time that Chiang Kai-Shek was forced to fight on a semi circular front. With the Lunghai railway running paral- Tel to his entire front, Feng was able easily to rush endorsements to threatened points.
 Feng, aided by several fresh Shansi divisions, is now reported to be planning a final drive in the hope of forcing the government troops out of Honan.
 Foreign military observers point out that the recent intervention by Manchuria has greatly aided the northern coalition by removing the threat of q flank attack from Shan tung, thus enabling the rebellious nortnerners to concentrate on the Lunghai campaign.

Nye Says Complaint Will Be Given Consideration After Noyem-
 ber Elections.

Washington, Oct 1 (UP) - The senate campaign expenditures com mittee will wait until after the No vember election to hear evidence supporting Mrs. Ruth Hanna Me- Cormick's wire-tapping charges, Chairman Nye has announced in an- swer to criticism from a member of the investigating committee. ..
 Nye said a majority of the con- mittee decided not to go into the matter in Chicago because i've were driven to the conclusion that we were being framed and did not want to spend weeks bringing in re- liable witnesses to disprove these things"
 The Illinois republican senatorial nominee wanted to offer evidence designed to show, Nye said, that wire-tapping had been done at the indirect request of the committee. The so-called agent referred to by Mrs. Mccormick had no connection with the committee, Nye asserted.

GRAPE GROWERS
 GET HUGE CROPS
Wine Decision Prevents DestruC.
 tiOn of Fruit on Vines

San Francisco, Oct. i (UP)-Joy- ous arias rang yesterday througt the San Joaquin valley, the valley of the moon and other eXpanses now turning dark with ripening grapes. 4 sense of gloom at overproductlon of the purpling fruit had turned al- most overnight to spirit of joy. for National Prohibition Director w. w. Woodcock had ruled, exemptlng from prosecution the home wine maker unless his product were in toxicating in fact"
 This was seized upon as means of salvation for many growers who earlier had thought of letting the grapes die upon the vine to keep up the price of the remainder.
 Hanging upon the vines in these valleys and hillsides, there were enough grapes for approximately 121,S00, 900 gallons of choice wine and legal under a prohibition ruling, if not intoxicating in fact It was just few drops less than a gallon for every person in the Unit ed States-at sl or less a gallon ii all were converted to wine.
 The recent ruling of National Pro- hibition Director w. w. Woodcock exempting home wine from prosecu- tion has provided a solution of the problem of over- production of Cali fornia's tremendous grape crop, it is claimed by some authorities in the grape industry.
 No Legal Barrier
 Woodcock's decision, grape grow CTS say, means there is no legal way to stop the sale of grapejuice thai will turn into table wine by fermen- tation.
 A cooperative marketing organiza tion is being formed, it was said and plans being made to distribute high grade of juice. potentially 6 sweet pure wine, at about S1 a gal lon.
 Two grape juice plants, one al Fresno, heart of the industry, one several miles away, have been re novated and are ready to turn out 6 record run, it is claimed.
 The California crop of wine grapes it is estimated, will amount to 450,- | 900 tons, enough to make 67,000,00 gallons of juice. There probably will be 420,O00 tons of table grapes produced this year, 53,000,000 gal Ions more.e The "catch" is, growers say, that wine grapes are inferior for table use but table grapes are good for wine.
 The distressed industry talked last week about leaving 100000 tons or more of grapes to die on the vines and create a shortage. That talk, however, has been abandoned and growers are thinking about the 100,- 900 tons in terms of 6,000,000 gal lons-several millions of dollars gross for what had a few days age been regarded as sacrificial stock.
 Unless a dampener comes in the shape of a new federal order invali- dating the Woodcock decision, grow CTS are excitedly planning to place lots of bottled juice in every grocery store in the country-and let the consumers conscience guide them.

Food and Automobiles Take Most Of PubLc's Money, First Report
 Of Census of Distribution Shows
Figures for Trenton, Fl Paso, Pueblo, and Syra- cuse Released - Others to Follow Chain Stores Show Strength.

Washington, Oct. l tP1That guide book to business everywhere, the first census of distribution, in spired by Herbert Hoover now has a sample of itself ta show.
 Like the encyclopedia sheets dis played by the enterprising book agent, as a criterion of whot the set of volumes is like, the data on busi- ness in Fl Paso, Pueblo, Trenton, and Syracuse has emerged.
 The cities were chosen by chance, and because information on their chain stores was immediately avail able to the bureau. Now that these samples of the distribution census have been turned out, with much extra labor and expense, the force collecting it has returned to routine, and remainder will be some months in starting a city by city appearance.
 Designed to Aid Dealers
 While secretary of commerce, President Hoover urged census by i@t'N retail distribution situation. The purpose was to yield complete in- formation at the finger tip on who was buying and where, and how much they were paying for it; to take some of blindness out of the competition" The aim also was to give each wholesaler and retailer a chance to compare his business with that of his fellows, and to help him plan his sales quotas and his advertising objectives.
 Trenton, New Jersey, announced excess of s700, 100000 annually, with food, automobiles and department stores accounting for one-half the total Trenton's grocery bill in its 533 stores was $11,555,691. More than half of what was paid for gro ceries, s6,231, ,502, went to 132 units of national and sectional chains.
 Fl Paso Buys Autos
 Tn Fl Paso, the automotive group headed the list of expenditures with $8,905,317 of car sales through nine establishments; s1,720,595 of sales through 67 filling stations; and S1f- 305,154 through 32 accessory shops Food stores were second in vol ume with s7,554,229 business in 435 stores, only 4 of which had been reported as units of national chains. Fl Paso's retail business to- taled more than $50,000,000, and wholesale $56,647,969-
 Pueblo's retail business exceed ed $2,500,004 with food stores top ping the list and automobiles com ing second in volume of sales. The digest of the Syracuse census will be published by the census bureau within the next few days.

ROCKY ROAD FACES BRUEN|NG PROGRAM
Bankers, However, Urge Plan
 Enthusiastically to Public

Berlin, Oct. 1 P>-Although con- mended widely the financial pro- gram of Chancellor Bruening and his cabinet published yesterday, seemed certain today to travel a rocky road before it gains reichstag approval.
 Many observers were convinced that the parliamentary dissension which already, prior to converting of the new body, is disrupting the political life of the nation, would prevent it's passage at all, but would precipitate enactment by de- cree and the dictatorship which the presidency has threatened.
 The program as presented would tax the strength of a government with a we'll ordered sizeable major ity in the reichstag; as product of the Bruening ministry, which would not be sure of life in even trivial circumstances under the present reichstag composition, it has appear ed as startling, astonishing docu- ment certain to draw the concen- trated elements in the reichstag.
 But with it's rigid economies, Its specifications for reductions of taxes with money possibly not spent, and its slash of 20 per cent iii salaries it has commanded wide attention, and in many circles unqualified ap- proval. Bankers particularly con- mended it to the German public.
 Approves Plan
 One f1nancier in one of the most prominent posts in Germany told the Associated Press: "Mr. Parker Gilbert's suggestions have been needed to an extent and in such a concrete manner as he himself per haps never thought could be ex- pected."
 This f1nancier further expressed the opinion that the government program was bound to have re- percussions in private industry and to bring about lowering of both prices and wages. He believed the program would pass the reichstag, saying: Tt will carry of it's own mo- mentum"
 But Adolf Hitler's bloc of 107 fas- cists in the coming reichstag looms d large today as a possible impeachment to not only the financial program but to other constructive measures which the government may wish to put through. The threat has grown more and more pronounced the last few days that they may not sub init tamely to arbitrary action in overriding them.
