Excess of Tax-Free Flour and Selling It | Washington, Oct. 11—(P}—A new form of bootlegging—illegal wheat milling to escape the processing tax on grain—has grown to such pro- Portions that a determined drive to he it is planned by federal authori- ties. Collection of the 30 cents a bushel tax on wheat and enforcement of the regulations surrounding the levy are the immediate prob'em of the Bureau of Internal Reverue. The farm adjustment administra- tion is concerned because proceeds from the processing tax are depended upon to raise funds to pay farmers who agree to reduce their acreage by 15 per cent next year. As indicated by the steady flow of complaints, the chief violators of the law are growers, whom the processing tax was designed to help, The wheat farmer was given the privilege of having wheat for his own family ground into flour tax free. The charge has been made that some farmers are having more wheat ground than they need and disposing ot the excess, tax-free flour at a Profit.

No figures are available, officials said, on the extent to which wheat bootlegging has affected receipts from the processing levy. The procesisng tex on wheat is ex- pected to produce approximately $135,000,000. Any substantial reduc- tion in that figure would mean the treasury would have to be drawn upon to pay for the wheat reduction cam- Paign. Secretary Wallace is emphati- cally opposed to paying for production control in that way. Cooperation among the farmers themselves is depended upon by offi- cials to aid enforcement of the tax.

Four-to-One Margin Rolled Up With Over Half of Pre- cincts Reported Jacksonville, Fis. Oct. 11.—}— Florida has voted for repeal. By a pected the state voted Tuesday for the end of the prohibition era by 4 tol. 1,727, with virtually every big city ac- counted for, was for repeal 82,998; against repeal 19,847. On the basis of estimates by the secretary of state that there are near- ly half a million qualified voters in the state, the 94,987 votes tabulated from 1763 precincts indicated that Probably not more than a third of the electorate went to the polls. The result of the election was to name 67 delegates to a repeal conven- tion which meets in Tallahassee No- vember 14 to cast the state’s official ballot. The incomplete vote did not show @ single county in which the anti- repeal ticket led. Repeal of prohibition in the United States swept into its final stage Wed- ‘eighteenth amendment will be voted out of the constitution on Nov. 7. On that day six states will ballot on repeal. Approval by only three is needed to cancel the prohibition amendment. The six states passing on the ques- tion on Nov 7, are: Pennsylvania, Ohio, North and South Carolina, Utah and Kentucky. If the necessary states vote for re- peal Nov. 7, actual repeal of prohibi- Loy will not be in effect until Dec. 6, due to the fact that formal ratifica- <ion conventions must be held.

Five of the bodies were recovered Tuesday night, but none was taken out alive as the heat of the flames kept farmers who flocked to the scene back. They said they saw the victims milling around on the inside of the cabin, unable to save themselves.
