condition will likely be re-sealed and
kept on farms. In addition to the
amount of unredeemed 1871 wheat
which came to them on April 80, the
quantity held by the CCC from previ
GUS crops was reported on April rs at
120,70O 900 bushels.
WHEAT: Prospects for winter
wheat continued generally favorable
and the crop made satisfactory ad.
vance during the week except in the
more eastern states where rain is
needed. Growth has been very rapid
in the eastern belt and there are al
ready complaints of lodging. Dry
weather, however, would probably
bring considerable recovery. In Texas
wheat has made excellent progress
IN the principal producing northwest
ern area and the crop is good gen.
orally in Oklahoma except in areas of
heavy green bug damage. In Kansas
some wheat is in boot in the south.
Seeding of spring wheat is nearing
completion in most Of the domestic
belt and early seeded fields are up
to good stands. Rather general rains
were received in Canada with the fall
heaviest in northern Saskatchewan
and northern Albert where moisture
was needed. Seeding is expected to
be general during the week although
rains may delay planting In some
areas, particularly Manitoba. No in
formation is yet available as to the
probable acreage.
Little change was reported in wheat
provinces abroad. Cool nights con-
tinued to retard growth of spring
crops in Europe but crop comments
on winter wheat are more hopeful
than earlier in the season Seeding
OF spring wheat continued In many
sections. In the Balkans and in Hun
gary, heavy flood damage is reported
in number of sections and this has
not only injured winter crops but de-
layed seeding of urgently needed
grains. In the Southern Hemisphere, |
dryness delayed planting in southern
sections of Argentina and In some |
areas of Australia. Early sown wheat |
was making favorable progress in |
northern portions of the Argentina i
wheat belt.
The first estimate of the 1912 In
dian wheat crop is 371, 100000 as COM
pared with 383,000,0O0 bushels, the
revised estimate for 1941, and final |
figure of about 374,000,000 bushels.
Because of dry weather, the new crop
got off to poor start. The condition
Is reported by the trade to be average
or above on irrigated lands and about
average on other lands. Wheat sup
plies in India have acquired greater
Importance this season because of de- /
ficit in the Near East. Since all inn
ports from Burma have been cut off

Information Office of OEM)

Patience and tolerance by the buy
ing public for whom the sweeping
lprice control program is being placed
in operation was urged this week by
Glenn w. Collins, regional director OF
the office Of price administration.
Americans will recognize that the
overall ceiling on prices is their pro-
lection against the rising cost of liv-
ing Collins said.
I'm the long run, the success of the
program requires the complete coop
Grafton Of the consumer" Collins de-
clared. 1.-THE housewife and the shop
per can help by learning how price
ceilings will operate and by showing
patience while program so vast is
getting under way.
1.-THE regulations impose many
novel and difficult burdens on the re-
tailers and their suppliers. Shoppers
should realize that by the eighteenth
of May every retailer must re-price
his merchandise in keeping with the
price regulations, and after May IS
he can not make sales above the cell
ing. This is tremendous task, espe-
cially for small merchants whose rec
ords may be incomplete.
The consumer, on the other hand,
has no such problem The govern
ment, by establishing price ceilings,
is doing a job for the consumer he
or she could not do alone. But the
consumer has an obvious duty to be-
come familiar with the basic provi-
sions of the price regulation.
During the first few weeks after
May Is it is only to be expected that
there will be many perplexing ques-
tions, and there will be many in
stances of disagreement between Gus
toner and seller over maximum
prices These are inevitable even
when the retailer has established his
ceiling prices In strict keeping with
the rules set down.
When disagreements arise, the
shopper and the seller should get to-
gether and see If they can not reach |
a common understanding. Only after |
that has been done and the shopper |
has facts to warrant a conclusion that |
price regulations are being violated
should the matter be reported to en-
fOrcement authorities"

the plan to cover executives working
abroad and was passed with only 374,
900 votes against 1t.
The second amendment was op
posed by the management and was
defeated 26,013,981 to 1,448,623. 1t
would have, in substance, stopped
executives from retiring at $4,000 or
more year and then getting them
selves jobs which paid as much or
more. Smith explained the large vote
for the amendment by saying many
stockholders had misunderstood the
