The Yugoslav Legation in Wash
ington will be raised within the next
few days to the rank of an embassy
The Greek Legation is expected to
become an embassy sometime in
October.
The Yugoslav Minister will be the
the third envoy to achieve ambas-
sadorial rank after the invasion of
his country by Nazi legions. Both
the Netherlands and the Norwegian
Ministers were made Ambassadors
in May of this year, at the sugges-
ton of the White House.
Washington, which in the past
had only a handful of embassies,
will have more embassies than lega-
tions. At the rate that ministers
are being made into ambassadors
soon the only European states which
will maintain old-fashioned lega-
tions will be those which continue
to exist as independent countries
Sweden, Switzerland, Portugal and
Finland.
Before the end of World War only
the great powers were entitled to
exchange ambassadors. While a
minister is accredited to a govern
ment, an ambassador represents the
person of the sovereign-be he. a
Monarch or President of a repub-
lic-and the envoy has the privilege
of seeing personally from time to
time the head of the state to whom
he is accredited. After the last
World War little Belgium's Legation

Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-Grain prices
steadied today as trading volume
tapered off for the week end. s
A letup in -four demand and sat-
isfaction of selling based on the
Government crop report showing
domestic cereal production at rec
ord proportions left the dealers with
little incentive for trading activity
for the time being Brokers said
traders apparently were willing to
await Washington developments on
farm price control.
Wheat held to a narrow range,
f1uctuating nervously around pre-
vious closing figures, and prices1of
other cereals behaved similarly. NJ
Traders expect the spring wheat
movement in the Northwest to reach
its peak Monday. Arrivals at Min
neapolis and Duluth today were the
largest for any day other than Men-
day this season, totaling 1907 cars,
compared with 535 week ago and
sos year ago. Reports indicated
the storage situation is tight, sal
though serious congestion is ex-
pected to be averted as a result aof
strict shipping control. 5ax
Best grades of spring wheat still
were priced more than 10 cents
under Government loan rates at
Northwest terminals and traders
said this indicated producers atti-
tude toward holding grain for loan
collateral probably has not changed
despite the recent price advance.
Hard wheat here was quoted about
5 cents under the loan rate, but No.
soft red, which yesterday sold at
flve-year peak of sl.36, was at
premium. Traders said the high
price for soft red, however, was no
criterion Of the market as a whole
since there is a scarcity of that
variety.
Reports that feed wheat sales ara
tagging below Government expec-
tations, but efforts are to be made
to increase disposal of this grain to
livestock producers attracted atten-
tion in the corn pit. Brokers said
this would tend to check corn price
rises. 81

 FOR BOMB AGENTS
Right of Way to Be Granted to Properly Iden=
 tied Workers

Dana Davis, head of the emerg- ency services of the State Defense Council spoke on the need of giv- ing bomb reconnaissance agents the right of way, at meeting of agents, selectmen, police chiefs, air raid wardens and others at the Wilby high school last night.
 MT. Davis pointed out that bomb agents must be supplied with spe- cial insignia and police must be informed that cars bearing such Identification marks are to be let pass at all times.
 Arthur Reynolds, head of the Waterbury region of bomb squads, and Arthur. D. Craig, chief of the Waterbury bomb squad, were at the meeting, as were Fire Chief Thomas F. Cavanaugh and Chief Air Raid Warden James J. Curtin. All of the IS towns in the Water- bury warning district were repre- sented.

SMALL PAPERS
 ARE FORESEEN
Manpower Shortage, Flee. tric Power, Transports
 ton to Affect Size

Washington, Dec. II --(UP)-- American readers may find their newspapers little smaller next year as a result of shortages of man. power, electric power and transpor- tation affecting the supply of news print.
 The newspaper industry's advisory committee yesterday recommended that the War Production board or der every newspaper to restrict its consumption of print paper in 1943 to the amount required to produce its net paid circulation for cor responding quarters of 1941. The ether would apply to all newspapers daily, seven-day, or non-daily.
 Such an order would not neces- sarily mean that newspapers could be kept at their 1941 size. The rec ommendation provided that should reductions from this base be neces- sary "in the public interest" they shall be applied by the WIPE per centage wise to the base"
 Since it is impossible to give a definite figure on print paper supply in 1943, officials could not give any flat percentage by which overall con- sumption would be cut.
 Notwithstanding the essential character of the public service ren- dered by newspapers, especially in time of war and with full apprecia- ton of their fundamental responsi- bility in Democratic community it is considered necessary to reduce their consumption of critical mater als," the committee found.
 The committee suggested that af- ter a newspaper had cut back it's consumption of print paper to the 1941 level, it be exempted from fur ther restrictions if it's consumption did not exceed 25 tons during a quarter. That would have the effect of not restricting consumption by small papers which, on the whole, use relatively small amount of the total newsprint supply.
 Inevitable loss in usable tonnage including wrappers, damage in tran sit, spoiled copies in printing, etc., in a total amount of three per cent shall be allowed over and above the net paid base tonnage" it was rec commended. Tonnage used in all ready print pages or supplements, including those printed by other than the distributing paper, shall be figured as part of the distributing newspapers consumption in both the 1941 base periods and the cor responding quarters of 1943."
