Police, Tax Men Probe $3 Million Hol

WASHINGTON, July 23 (U. P.) .— An agriculture department official said today lighter colored bread and normal sized loaves may be on their way back. The official, who is close to policy levels but declined use of his name, said the outcome depends on whether the department's prediction of record-shattering corn and wheat crops is fulfilled. ; If the big crops are achieved, he said, the government als6 may be able to earmark more grain for hunger areas as well as review or-

~ ders which might restrict the use

of flour by millers, brewers and distillers. : The department said that on the basis of a special mid-July survey of crop conditions the corn crop was expected to total more than 3,487,976,000 bushels and the wheat crop about 1,132,074,000 bushels. Each crop would be the largest in the nation’s history,

ure up to expectations now:

1. Limit flour millers to 85 per cent of their 1945 domestic con-

sumption,

2. Set the flour extraction rate at 80 per cent rather than the normal 72 per cent, resulting in a

darker bread.

3. Require a 10 per cent cut in

the size of bread loaves.

4. Restrict brewers to 70 per cent of last year’s beer production and forbids the use of wheat for liquor.

The card sharks reportedly operated with psychological tricks as well as pasteboard funny business using such dexterity and finesse their victims paid off unsuspectingly.

Alvin Myers, spokesman for the internal revenue bureau, said he'd like to know who the card sharks were too. “The minute somebody who got clipped squawks we'll get on the job,” he said. “Chances are there'll be an income tax evasion somewhere in there.

Mr. Goldwyn branded charges he'd hired MacDougall and Schindler as “a dirty, blankety-blank, stinking lie!” A few hours later he came forth with a statement in more punctilious prose: “It is a shocking falsehood made out of whole cloth,” declared the irate producer. “I cannot understand why my name should have been used in such completely false and untrue manner.” MacDougall seemed to have disappeared faster than the good cards at the bottom of the deck.
