 Studies Wheat Situation
 Senator Lonergan was especially interested in the governmonti course with regard to wheat pro. duets, particularly bread. Two years ago he pushed through con- gress tho legislation authorizing distribution of surplus farm board wheat, through the American Red Cross, to needy families through. out the nation. The Farm Credit Administration has just announced that 1t has finally completed the distribution of this surplus, amount ing to Sb,000,000 bushels. together with S44,0e3 bales of cotton also authorized by congress. Tho offices of tho Grain and Cotton Stabiliza. ton Corporations have been closed and if any further steps arc taken they will be under tho Fedora EmcrNency Relief organization in o-operation with tho Agricultural Adjustment organization.
 Ut would appear rather one sided to distribute pork and other products to tho ndody and deny them bread" Senator Lonergan de- clared, "and I hope the relief nd. ministrntion will adopt somo plan by which the distribution of wheat products can Do continued for Q lime at.leaBt,"

No More Indictments and Famous Lottery Case
 Has Been Ended

New York, Oct 1S--(UP)-A sec- ond indictment charging Senator James J. Davis with violation of the federal lottery laws will he nolle-prossed, 1t was believed today. Davis was acquitted last night on a similar charge in an emotionally tense federal courtroom.
 Both Davis and his co-defendant, Theodore c. Miller, head of the propagation department of the Loyal order of Moose, wept when the foreman of the jury announced the not guilty verdict. The specta' tors, composed mainly of officials and members of the Moose, of which Davis is the supreme leader, cheered.
 Davis left immediately for Wash- ington where he will address the convention of the American Feder- ation of Labor. In his youth he worked in steel mills and was known as "Puddler Jim. He served as secretary of labor in the cabinets of Presidents Harding, Coolidge and Hoover.
 The jury deliberated three hours and five minutes. The trial began Sept IS. Davis and Miller were charged with using the malls to promote alleged lotteries held in connection with charity balls given by various Moose lodges, and with conspiracy to transport alleged lot tery tickets through the mails and in interstate commerce.

STATE CONTROL.
 | OF LIQUOR SALE g IS ADVOCATED
John D. Rockefeller Sur. vey Supports That Kind
 of a Wet Law

New York, Oct 1s-(UP)- state control of liquor sales, is the oniy method of avoiding Ian irre- conciiabie and permanent conflict with social control" the report of John ID, Rockefeiler's liquor sur vey said to-day. A compromise with any system of licensing, tho report added, is Q haff.way meas- ure out of which, at best, only par tial success can be brought. Reiterating It's preference for state control of liquor sales through duly constituted authority, the report, prepared by Raymond r. Tosdick and Albert L. Scott charged that the "private profit motive by which sales are artifi. cialiy stimulated Is the greatest
 single contributing cause of the wells of excess"
 "For better or for worse, the liauor business is here," tho survey
 pointed out. Its preference for con- trol by authority was based on the premisee that such a board had 2
 simple organization, and possessed a
 sufficient authority to make 1t
 function properly. The South Car
 oiina iiduor dispensary plan did
 not constitute such an authority,
 and therefore failed, the report
 said.
 "The South Carolina plan did
 not eliminate the profit motive
 from retail saies," the reports au.
 thors concluded. "The salaries of
 dispensing agents were made to
 vary with the amount of busincra
 done. Moreover, these agents were
