NEW DEAL SET
TOPROSECUTE
FOOD PROFITEER
Higher Prices Inevitable,
Government to Check
Unfair Profits.
ByUnitcd Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The
new dealers oiled up their shotguns
today ready to level at the first
drought proflteer to show his head.
With high food prices inevitable
and scattered reports Of food hoard
ing already coming in, government
agencies put their machinery in or
der to squelch efforts by any one to
profit unfairly out of the national
calamity.
Summary action against any
prohteers was promised. Even
without profteering, a rise in the
cost of bread and butter can not
be avoided, Agriculture Secretary
Henry A. Wallace warned.
AAA Can Set Prices
DR.. Frederic C. Howe, consumers
counsel of the AAA, is expected to
head the efforts to hold prices with
in bounds. The AAA is in posi-
ton to correlate production statis-
tics and costs to determine whether
the housewife is getting her moneys
worth.
Widespread publicizing through
newspapers of fair prices for daily
staples is expected to be the most
effective weapon in hating the in
roads of the profteer. The AAA,
however, can in an emergency in
woke the drastic licensing provisions
of the adjustment act.
The license powers would enable
the AAA to dictate fair prices for
virtually all staples through its con-
troll over professors. 1t can even
compete against private industry
through its own processing units if
all other means Of control failed.
Meat to Rise First
Drought effects will be felt first
in the butcher shop, officials said.
Pork prices have started up and will
advance further. Beef and mutton
will follow. This can not be avoided
due to the forced slaughter of cattle
which is sharply reducing the ma
tons herds.
Despite the failure of the wheat
crop, bread should not cost much
more, officials believe. Reserve
stocks are large and the price of
grain actually is but a small item in
the cost to the baker Of turning out
loaf of bread
However, vegetables and fruits are
expected to cost a good deal more.
Destruction of these crops has been
widespread. This can be expected
to show up in rising prices of canned
goods.

NEW ORLEANS. Aug. l3.-With
the voters rolls firmly IN his grasp,
Senator Huey P. Long today reached
out for the purse strings Of New
Orleans as a further move in his
war with the city administration,
which warns II means bankruptcy. A."
Only by court action did the city
stave off Long control Of city police
He has countered this action. how
ever. BY keeping the militiamen

ponents.
This morning seven newly ap-
pointed district assessors" ap-
pointed by the Long-controlled state
tax commission. began assessments
throughout the city wards By TINS
means Long hopes TO make city Of
hcials beg for mercy.
Tax Collection Held Up
Mayor T. Semmes waImsley said
that assessments made by the Long
men Will not be recognized.
Under the state law. however. the
Louisiana tax commission has the
final say on all assessments.
The taxpayers VIII be given re-
lief" Long said. The district as

ministration's graft. and every one

Previously Governor o. K Allen
warned officials they must not in
sist on collection OF delinquent
taxes. Under a relief law passed
at the last session Of the legislature.
a moratorium was granted tax
payers until Oct. 1.
Bankruptcy Is Feared
Thus. the strangling knot Of
bankruptcy Is being drawn about
the city, city officials charge.
Meanwhile the federal grand jury.
which last week heard the testimony
of several OF Longs close allies in
connection with its inquiry into the
income tax status of prominent
state politicians. was scheduled to
resume its investigation. The in
quiry is being conducted by United

Roosevelt Senator Long blocked in

Tells Editors He Will Be
Guided by Suggestions OF
Crime Board.

Dismissal OF LOUIS huilh6l, war
den Of the Indiana state prison, and
any other personnel shakeup at the
prison will depend on contents Of a
report being prepared for Governor
Paul V. McNutt by a committee of
penal experts.
This was made plain by the Gov
ernOr Saturday night at French
Lick at the Indiana Democratic
Editorial Association banquet, at
which the Governor preceded Sher-
man Ninton, Democratic nominee
to the United States senate and
principal speaker.
The Governor referred to the
heat" placed on Warden Kunkel
by administration critics who con-
tend the warden is a mere politi-
cal appointee and not the trained
penologist the position demands.
The reports have said that War
den Kunkel would resign or be dis
missed and be replaced by trained
prison expert to be recommended
by Warden Lewis Lawes of Sing
Sing prison, and Sanford Bates,
federal director of prisons.
Decision Up to Experts
The Governors refernce to the
prison situation contained the terse
announcement: Amy changes in
personnel recommended in the re-
port of penal experts, now being
prepared, will be made when and
where indicated"
AS scheduled, Mr. Minton's adj
dress was ringing indictment of
the Republican cries Of Back to
the Constitution"
He drew a laugh when he OBJ
served dryly that the Republicans
always are wanting to go back
ward-never forward"
The Republicans" Mr.. Minton
said, are smugly shouting for the
Constitution, as if we are against
it. The Constitution cry is being
raised by those afraid to attack the
peerless leadership of President
Franklin D. Roosevelt"
Ridicules G. o. P. Cry
Referring again to the Republican
cry of backward" Mr.. Minton said
the appeal well might be construed
as a return to the days of Harding,
Coolidge and Hoover-a return to
the chaos of early 1888.
Human rights consistently have
been subjugated to property rights
during the long years of Republican
rule" Mr.. Minton asserted" and the
ascendency of property rights be-
came such that 81 per cent of the
wealth of this great and rich nation
was concentrated in the hands of
3 per cent of the people.
That is constitutional govern
ment as our opponents know it and
give it to us. To the Democratic
way of thinking, that is perversion
of constitutional government.
Recalls Old Evils
THE unemployment, collapse Of
banking, bankruptcy and other evils
that befen America during the de-
preston never were contemplated
by government under the ConStitu-
ton with proper consideration for
the rights of the people.
None of these things should have
happened under the proper leader
ship under the Constitution.
If constitutional government, as
the repudiated leaders of the OPP
position administer it, brings the
nation to its knees. robs the humble
of their savings, takes away mems
Jobs, dumps women and children
into the streets and makes life
hardly worth the effort, why GER
