Two Year Beer Conviction Shocks Amarillo
A late Monday verdict in 47th district court found Lb. Gathright guilty in a test case, sentencing him to two years in the penitentiary the longest term in a beer case here.

Browning delivered the verdict.

Farm law aims to tax cotton and wheat processing
Secretary Wallace and George N Peek say a 20 percent cut in wheat output and destruction of 10 million cotton acres will cost consumers little. A four cent per pound processing tax on raw cotton and a 30 cent per bushel tax on wheat processors are the maximums, to be absorbed before final prices reach buyers. The wheat levy could raise bread by half to one cent per loaf.
