SLASH IN LIQUOR
PRICES PROMISED
Cheaper and Bette" Whisky
Predicted by Doran by
End of Year.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Cheaper prices for better liquor were
promised today by the Nations dis
tillers.
DR.. James M. Doran, supervisor OF
the distlllers' code authority, pre-
dicted that by the years end liquor
mellowed in the keg for a year would
be available at about the same prices
charged for month-old stuff last jan
uary.
His forecast was based on the fact
considerable new whisky flowed into
warehouses last January and some OF
1t is still there.
Since repeal the distillers have been
trying to build up depleted stocks OF
aged whisky in addition to meeting
current demands. Information gath
cred by the Federal Alcohol Control
Administration indicates they have in
creased the amount of spirits in ware
houses to about 80,000,000 gallons.
compared to l5,000,0 900 or 100000 at
the time of repeal.
Tax Revenues Disappointing.
OfficialS estimated Withdrawals from
warehouses to meet consumption will
amount to 35,000,000 gallons during
the year ending this November. This
will be far less than pre-repeal predlc-
tions. Tax revenues to the Govern
ment have been correspondingly dis
couraging.
Wholesale prices filed with the Dis
tillers' Code Authority show many re-
ductions, some of them only slight,
since repeal.
Typical cuts made since January in
prices offered to large distributors were
listed as: A popular brand OF gin, cut
from S24 to SIT 80 per case of "a plntS;
another brand of gin, from S12 to
S11.6O per case of "a pintS; whisky
blend, reduced from S33 to $29 per r.
quart case: a blended rye in the low
price field, from Sl2 to $l1.60 per case
of pints.
Coast Guard Serene.
The Coast Guard indicated today
that the holiday rush" along Rum
Row has passed into history. With
the approach of November in pre-
repeal years, the Coast Guard used to
prepare for two months of working
overtime to halt the incoming flow OF
wet goods for the year-end holidays.
This year, Coast Guard officials
don't expect the job to be appreciably
different from that of any other Pc
riod. The holiday spurts, they say,
have been largely taken out of the
business.
The rum feet is still somewhat &C
tive, though. Ten boats suspected OF
carrying liquor for illegal entry are
nosing about on the Atlantic Coast,
with six being watched in Gulf waters.

FIRST LADY RESTS
AFTER SPEECHES
Political Tour for Friend
Turns Into Defense of
New Deal.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, October 27.-MrS.
Franklin D. Roosevelt turned to the
seclusion Of Hyde Park today after
an upstate campaign tour that de-
veloped into a defense of her hus-
bands administration.
Answering criticism that the New
Deal is wasteful, Mrs. Roosevelt said
last night in her fourth and last
upstate speech:
"Just remember, a little common
sense is still left in the Government" >"
The First Lady spoke at dinner
for her friend, Mrs. Caroline O'Day,
Democratic candidate for Congress,
for whom she took the stump.
Called Ablest Woman.
Introducing Mrs. Roosevelt, Col.
Frederick Stuart Greene, State super
iptendent of public works, said:
Listen, now, to Americas ablest
woman"
Mrs. Roosevelt referred briefly to
the meeting of woman voters at Buff
falo, where she made her first speech
Thursday and heard Miss Natalie
Couch of Nyack, Mrs. O'Day's oppo-
nent, both booed and cheered for her
criticism of the Presidents policies.
Defends Farm Program.
Defending the farm surplus reduce
ton program, she said:
You hear, sometimes, that several
million pigs were thrown into the
Mississippi River. 1t is hard TO be-
lieve that thinking people think that.
1t would be just too stupid"
Mrs. Roosevelt rested at the hotel
last night before motoring the IS
miles to Hyde Park, her own home
town, to be the guest of Miss Nancy
Cook. She will go to New York City
tomorrow and will make her last
speech there Wednesday in her cam
paign for Mrs. O'Day.

voting. Other actors will represent
Democratic workers and will demon

to prevent illegal voting, even if it
comes to a fight This is an entirely
new wrinkle in campaigning and Kelly
is writing the scenario himself.
1t is Kelly's claim that the city will
give the Democratic ticket at least q
$4,000 lead, and that the State as a
whole will 90 Democratic by a couple
of hundred thousand votes or more
More conservative Democrats say that
the city might 60 $4,000 "either way"
But even such a result would be a
political revolution in Philadelphia.

AGENT SAYS CLEAN SEED
WHEAT IMPORTANT
[Comfinard from Firn Pagr]


The quantity of seed wheat treated
has varied from year to year, for in
some years the sinking smut has
not been as prevalent as in other
seasons, but each summer a warn
ing has been issued from the county
extension Office to all wheat grow
ers in regard to the importance of
seed treatment for the prevention
and control of this disease. Seed
wheat which is selected at harvest
time may be treated with any of the
recommended dust disinfectants, and
then sacked and stored until the
seeding period. This practice will
save much time in having the treat
ed seed wheat ready to show this
fall.
Another disease which has made
its appearance in many wheat fields
this year is the scab, which is close
ly associated with the rOOt-rOt of
corn. and for this reason il is usual
ly found to be more severe in wheat
that has been seeded on corn ground.
The severe storm last August caused
the rOOt-rOt to develop. and this
condition was favored by the wet
and fOggy weather in the spring of
this year.
