ENTERS WHEAT PIT
Grain Corporation Buys to
Halt "Panicky Selling and
UnWarranted Declines"
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
The Grain Sterilization Corporation
was in the wheat pit today determined
to stop panicky selling and to prevent
further unwarranted declines in do
nestle prices"
After comforting with George s. Mil
nor, general manager Of the corpora
ton, Chairman Legge of the Farm
Board announced last night that de-
moralization in world grain markets
had made 1t necessary for the corpora
ton again to enter the market.
For the second time since the agricul-
tural marketing act, which authorized
its creation. became law the corpora
ton was extending its resources In an
effort TO insure American farmers
against world price levels pushed down
by liberal offerings from surplus areas.
10000, 900 Bushels Purchased.
...ssIf iisI farst. stahilization operations,
for the 1929 season, the corporation
purchased something more. than co.
000,000 bushels of wheat with the
pledge that none of 1t would be sold for
less than the purchase price. With this
amount of the market the corporation
now has taken to the pit again--this
time to prevent further declines in 1880
wheat, which has sagged almost con-
tinuously since it began moving TO
market
Legge insisted further declines would
not be justified by domestic conditions.
He pointed to unusually light" re-
ceipts at primary markets as sugges-
tive of the extent to which farm stocks
are being used for feeding purposes and
the probability that the per capita con-
sumption Of -four is increasing.
Holdings Put at 100000 Bushels.
These holdings. purchased to cover
sales made due to expiration of stor-
age contracts and other reasons, we're
estimated by Chairman Legge at
10000, 900 bushels.
Although domestic wheat markets
declined during the past week largely
in sympathy with the general weakness
in the world situation, December fu-
lures in Chicago were down / cent as
compared to decline at Liverpool of
71s cents Corresponding futures at
Minneapolis dropped 5h cents and at
Winnipeg 57s cents. Cash markets fol-
lowed the decline in futures, with
Spring wheat relatively weaker than
Winter.

In spite Of almost week Of rainy

SEEK TRIO
WHO RUINED MILK
Grudge Against Drivers Seen
as Cause Of Sabotage With
Strong Disinfectant.

Police Of the headquarters narcotic
squad today were checking drug stores
In an effort TO identify the men who
poured q strong disinfectant over the
cases Of bottled milk In two delivery
wagons yesterday while the drivers were
distributing milk In an apartment
building ct Cathedral and Connecti-
cut avenues.
Investigators say 1t was obvious from
the strong odor of the chemical, which
Is poisonous only when taken unadulter-
ated, that no attempt had been made To
poison the consumer. but only to ruin
the milk. Police believe the act was
committed by some one with . personal
grudge against the drivers.
Three Men Nearby.
Both OF the drivers, q. d. Weimer
Of the Chestnut Farms and John G.
Croson Of ThompsCn's Dairy. tod Lieut.
H. n. LOtman Of No. IL precinct that
they had been approached recently BY

Croson said he noticed q light sedan
containing three men parked not far
from his wagon when he left 1t to
make his deliveries inside the building.
Croson was informed later by q tenant
of the apartment that he had seen
from an upstairs window three men
get out of the sedan, one with gallon
can in his hands. The man with the
can, according to the tenant. climbed
into both wagons then rejoined his
companions and drove away at q high
rate Of speed.
Sedan Is Described.
Lieut.. Lehman, who went to the
scene when the drivers telephoned the
precinct. was given q general descrip-
ton Of the sedan and its three occu-
pants. He later broadcast . lookout
to the other precincts.
No effort apparently had been made
TO conceal the fact that the milk had
been tempered with. Lieut.. Lehman
said that at least a half gallon of the
chemical had been sloshed over the
tops OF the milk bottles in each wagon,
running about 28O quarts of milk and
40 pints of cream.
Milk Il Destroyed.
Both companies sent out fresh sup
plies of milk and the other was de-
stroyed. Police saved enough of the
diSinfectant for chemical analysis.
Ohacials Of the Chestnut Farms Dairy
said guards will be placed on the
wagons If similar depredations occur.
Police warned milk deliverymen in
the surrounding residential section to
be on the alert against q possible re-
appearance of the mischief makers.
It was pointed out today that the
disinfectant has an odor so strong that
q tiny quantity of it would be easily
noticeable in . bottle of milk.

~ the Associated Press.
GENEVA, November 1.-THE Pre-
paratory Disarmament Commission to-
day tackled the problem OF how to
limit naval ornaments.
Resolving itself into subcommittee
It debated the results of the London
Naval Conference and the Washington
treaty. These results were presented
by the great naval powers In draft
form designed for consideration by all
the naval powers with view to 1nclu-
sion in the draft general convention.
Gen. de Marinis, the italian delegate,
at the beginning reafirmed Italys
reservation made at London that the
italian government cannot definitely
accept one method rather than another
until ratios of strength and maximum
levels of tonnage have been agreed
upon by the different powers
The draft submitted by the great
powers provided chiefly:
(a) A total global limitation OF war
% A table for limitation by cate
gories.
(c) Provision for the transfer OF
some tonnage from category to category.
I'd Capital ships limited to $4,000
tons with gun caliber maximum 10
inches.
(e) Limit aircraft carriers to $1,000
tons.
Maxim Litvinoff. the Russian dele
gate, proposed several amendments: TO
article A. that the powers limit exist
A.. taxr q WhfG6
shall not be exceeded during the life OF
the treaty: to article B, that the states
with navies above 100000 tons limit
their total tonnage at certain figures
and, to delete article G, which permits
transfers of tonnage from one category
to another.
Oppose General Discussion.
In taking up the naval problem, Lord
Cecil Of Great Britain and Rene Mas
sigli of France proposed that the mat
ter be intrusted to q naval suhccmmit-
tee to consider all amendments. They
expressed belief that general discussion
was unnecessary.
Hugh s. Gibson, the American dele
gate, wanted the subcommittee group
to sit concurrently with the full COM
mission TO bring alp the whole prob
lem reduced to its simplest form. :
Litvinoh insisted on full discussion I'M
mediately.

puted.
Daily Sessions Doubled.
The result was that the commission
adopted the name Of subcommittee,
doubled its daily sessions and began
full discussion Of the draft proposals In
public.
During today's sessions Lord Cecil
proposed an amendment providing
budgetary limitation for naval arma-
ment.
Eric Coh'Rn Of Spain submitted 9
proposed change which would permit
the smaller powers full freedom OF
transferring tonnage from one category
to another.
