Hundreds Hoordinq
For Price Increase,
Van Nuys Charges

A AZ per cent decline in whisky
Withdrawals from warehouses
from May through September
was attributed today by Senator
Van Nuys, Democrat, of Indiana
to "hoarding" by distillers,
wholesalers and retailers In an
effort to obtain higher prices.
Senator Van Nuys, chairman of a
Senate Judiciary subcommittee in
vestigating the current liquor
shortage, told reporters that testi-
mony by Stewart Berkshire, deputy
internal revenue collector, substan-
tiated his belief there is a definite
widening of the liquor black
market"
Says Hundreds Are Buying.
Hundreds and hundreds of in
dividuals-many of them persons
who never drink drop-have
bought up whisky as an investment, "
Senator Van Nuys asserted.
Asked how they intended to make
profit under price ceilings, he re-
piled ne was satisfied that many
OF the individuals were selling on
the black market" at very high
prices.
He said he suspected also that
some have hopes that the legal CELL
ings will crack and that retail prices
will 60 up.
The committee was told by Mr.
Berkshire there is 1l7OO0 900 GAL
Ions OF whisky from four to eight
years old in bonded warehouses
that could be tapped to relieve a
thirsty market if the Government
would cut tax-exempt storage time
to four years.
Senator Ferguson. Republican, O,
Michigan insisted the Government
was losing revenue under the pres.
ent system of permitting distiller'
to store spirits up to eight year
without levying on them.
22Ts Evaporation Loss.

and other causes ranges from % tt

rels for four years. but that it in.
creases to IS to 40 per cent or
whisky stored up to eight years.
When he pointed out that the
Government tax is assessed only at
the time of withdrawal from the
warehouse and only on the actual
gallonage withdrawn. Senator Fer
guSon said it seemed to him that
the Government would get more
taxes If it collected at the end OF
four years
The distillers charge more fo1
8-year-old whiskey than they dc
for 4-year-old, don't they?" he
asked. When Mr.. Berkshire replied
that was true, Senator Ferguson
said he believed the Government
doesn't get the benefit, but the
distillers do when whisky is left
in barrels for eight years. Mr.
Berkshire pointed out, however, that
the distillers suffered a loss in gal
lonage, despite the fact that the
tax rate was no higher on 8-year-
old than on 4year-old products.
Tax Increase Proposed.
The tax on 100 proof bonded
whisky is s6 gallon, but the pend
ing tax bill would increase it to 50
Replying to question by Sen
ator Wherry, Republican, of Ne
braska, Mr.. Berkshire said that
while the average withdrawal age
now is four years. the amount o1
whisky being taken out of bonded
warehouses for sale to the public is
much less than normal.
Senator Kilgore, Democrat OF
West Virginia brought out that the
Government had no check on the
disposal of whisky withdrawn from
bonded warehouses by wholesaler,
except the wholesalers records o.
their purchases and sales to retail.

Testing of color and printing quail
ity were the chief objects of the trial

tives and Government officials.

containing % per cent old paper

containing As per cent de-inked pa

newspapers and finally paper made
up of 80 per cent of new pulp and
20 per cent of old papers.
The slight blush gray color of the
paper itself was the most noticeab BILE
difference between the latter two
types and regular editions of the
news. The print was about the same

out pulpWood makes not only pack

directly into many war items.

Mr.. Simmons plan of cutting a
cord of wood for each local boy in

community.
The goal is elimination of the
threatened $500, ,0o0-cord shortage
of pulpwood this year.

AS we walk through a woodland
or pasture we are likely to step on
one or more "puffballs." A puff of

when one of them is pressed.
The So-called smoke is made up
Of many thousands of tiny dustlike
spores. These spores are not true
seeds, but they take the place OF
seeds in the puffball family.
A puffball is fungus, and it is
close relative of the mushroom. 1t

log.
| There are several kinds of puff
balls, but all Of them produce spores,
and none of them have leaves. Ono

the plant which appears above
