FOOD STORED IN
NEW YORK HAS
BEEN RELEASED
New Tork, Aug. 33 Thousands of
pounds of food stored in New Tork
city have been released for consump
tion recently after agents of the U. S.
Attorney's office had threatened the
owners with Jail sentences, if they
continued to hold the goods, it was
learned today. Earl B. Barnes, assis
tant district attorney, said his office
preferred to circulste food rather
than to prosecute hoarders and prof
lteers, but dealers who refused to
release food held for higher prices
would be vigorously prosecuted.
The sale of surplus army foodstuffs
at city school buildings has far ex
ceeded expectations. Experts esti
mate that 60,000,000 pounds of food
will be sold during the course of
the sales here. Army bacon has
been the article most in demand.
About 95 per cent, of the purchasers
have been women.
