Champs Appear
To Wax Hotter
Day by Day
Wyatt Pitches First
Full Come of Season.;
Entire A. L. IdIes
BY JUDSON BAILEY,


The Brooklyn Dodgers are plan
ming to raise their big white 194l
National League pennant on the
center-field f1agpole at Ebbets Field
today with suitable ceremonies.
And If somebody says something
about keeping the flag there and
just changing the numerals for next
season, the remark hardly would be
'amiss.
For the Dodgers now are four
full games in front and apparently
getting stronger day by day. They
walloped the Pittsburgh Pirates so
hard yesterday the Buccaneers fell
out of second place. The score was
8-3.
Whitlow Wyatt. who hadn't hurled
a complete game this season, al
though he worked nine scoreless
stanzas Of an extra-inning affair at
Boston in his first start. went the
route and acquired his second vic
tory without a defeat. He famed
five and walked none.
Reiser Hits Three Doubles.
The Dodgers pounded three hurl-
ers, chiefly Rip Sewell, for II hits,
of which six were doubles. Pete
Reiser, approaching the form which
won him the batting championship
last year as a rookie, made three
of these two-baggers and Arky
Vaughan. another former batting
champion who has started hitting
in style, hit one double, two singles
and walked once out of five trips
to the plate.
1t was Brooklyn's sixth conquest
in seven games.
Pittsburgh's second straight pound
ing by the Dodgers conceded with
the Boston Braves 80 victory over
the st. Louis Cardinals and enabled
Boston to squeeze into second place
by half game. 1t was the sixth
success in eight games for the
Braves.
The Redbirds were victims of s.
hit pitching by Alva Javery and
dropped from the first division to
sixth place.
Perhaps an even greater thud
was that of the Cincinnati Reds.
who were fourth a couple of days
ago and today were pushed back
to seventh place. They received
an unmerciful pounding, and Ray
Starr absorbed his first defeat Of
the season at the hands of the New
York Giants 13-5
Giants Make All Hits Count.
The Giants. who had rallied for
10 runs in the eighth inning Thurs
day, spread their terror throughout
the game yesterday and made every
one of their 13 hits count for a run.
Rookie Willard Marshall hit two
homers and two singles to drive in
six tales personally and Manager
Mel OFT also hit one homer and
made four hits.
In the days only other encounter
the Chicago Cubs beat the Phila-
delphia Phils. 81, although Claude
Passeau gave up nine hits to the
five the Bruins made off Tommy
Hughes. Passeau himself hit a
homer to account for one of
Chicago's runs.
The entire American League was
kept idle by weather. For the world
champion New York Yankees it was
the seventh off date in the last
nine days.

How do you spike your curls? Stop spear

More boning up? Place tuck combs in

Crop Benefit Rates

The Agriculture Department an
nounced yesterday the rates of bene-
At payments it will make to farmers
cooperating with crop adjustment
phases Of the 1943 war food program.
The rates are slightly lower in
most cases than those offered under
this years production program. The
1912 and l943 rates, respectively:
Cotton, IL and IL cents per
pound; corn Gin the commercial
corn area, SIS and 36 cents per
bushel; wheat, 90 and 81 cents per
bushel; rice, "a and 2 cents per
hundred pounds; peanuts, $l.25 and
$1.10 per ton.
Tobacco. fiue cured, S and 4 cent
per pound; hurley, 6 and 4 cent;
fire cured, IL and IL cents: dark
air cured, 8 and Z cent; Virginia
sun-cured, 6 and S cent; Pennsyl-
vania type Al. a and a cent; cigar
filler and binder (other than types
Al and 45), 6 and 5 cent; Georgia
Florida type 81, 8 and Z cent.
Other Benefits Listed.
In addition to these payments
farmers may become eligible for
other payments by carrying out soil
conservation practices recommended
by the department. Since the con-
servation practices and rates vary
by region and State. they will be
announced by local farm officials.
No benefit payments will be made
in l943 for commercial production Of
potatoes.
Farm legislation authorizes $780,
900 900 year for crop adjustment
and conservation payments. How
ever, officials said the department
and the Budget Bureau had agreed
to recommend an appropriation Of
only S400,00000 for 1943 because
Of increases in farm prices. The
amount made available for this
years farm program for the two
types of payments was s450,000 900.
Farmers may earn the crop ad-
justment payments by complying
with Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration acreage allotments for
corn, wheat, cotton, rice. tobacco
and peanuts and by meeting in
dividual farm production goals for
special war crops.
War Goals Fixed.
Under the 1943 program farmers
must plant at least 80 per cent of
their acreage allotments and 90
per cent of their special war crop
goals in order to be eligible for
maximum payments.
| A farmers payment may be de-
termined by multiplying the normal
yield of his allotted acreage by the
payment rate. Thus a farmer with
a 50-acre wheat allotment and a
normal yield of IL bushels per acre
would be entitled to 600 times 90
cents, or $500 if he planted within
IS and so acres of wheat and reached
80 per cent Of his goals on special
war crops. The war crops include
soybeans, flax seed, hemp, grain
sorghums, dry edible beans and
vegetables for processing.

Grain Futures Soar,
Spot Corn Highest
In Five Years
Good Demand and luq
In Receipts Regarded
As Major Factors
BY FRANKLIN NULLIN,


CHICAGO, Dec. 5-Highest prices
for grain futures in two or three
months and for spot corn in five
years were posted in the market to-
day.
Buying was stimulated partly by
action of the Senate Agriculture
Committee in approving a House
bill revising parity prices upward.
The principal factor, however was
good demand for cash grain in the
face of diminished receipts due to
the holding policy Of producers.
which is encouraged by legislative
developments such as that today.
Weather has helped to slow the
country movement.
Most gains were limited to about
cent, as in the case of December
wheat. corn and oats contracts, but
December rye was up as much as 3
cents at one time. Wheat and rye
futures were the highest for two
months, corn the highest since Aug
ust.
Gains Reduced Later.
Late profit taking reduced the
gains. and wheat closed unchanged
to q higher, compared with yester-
day; December, $127as-l2; May,

up. December rye hit a peak Of

Although no wheat sales were re-
ported in the spot market, a car Of
No. 2 hard sold at s1.3212 yesterday,
and prices today were quoted l.-1a
higher. The basis loan rate for this
grade is 1892 This is the first time
this season that prices have been
above the loan rate. At Kansas City
No. hard was quoted at S125a. to
sl.28, compared with a loan rate of
sl.27 and No. 2 red was quoted up to
$l.34. At Minneapolis No l dark
Northern spring sold up to $1.24ss,
or still about cents under the loan
rate.
Grain men said that although
prices have advanced sharply in
recent weeks it will take at least
10 cents over loan rates at most
markets to attract wheat out of
storage, since there are accumulated
interest and other charges. Wheat
futures prices are now to 5 cents
higher than six weeks ago; corn, Z
to 9 higher: rye, 10 higher.
Flour Trade Halted.
Meanwhile there were widespread
complaints from mills because prices
are now above levels that prevailed
during the September 28-October 2
base period for establishment OF
-four ceilings. Flour trade was re-
ported virtually at a standstill,
awaiting a Government move to re-
lieve the situation. and an Office
of Price Administration spokesman
said this will be done by the first
of the year.
Spot corn prices were y to

Moderately Irregular
Drift Continues
In Stock Market
Average Up Slightly
+, At Close Of Week.;
Volume Shrinks
BY BERNARD S. O'HARA,

Associated Press Finance Editor.
NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-The stock
market this week did a bit better
on balance. but the drift today
was moderately irregular as in the
past two sessions.
Recently buoyant peace issues, on
the whole, were subjected to little
profit cashing as the battle situa-
ton in North Africa developed
growing tenseness. War issues,
however, failed to revive to any
great extent. Earnings prospects
helped individual favorites. although
the usual weekend caution made
for light commitments. Tax SELL
ing was relatively light.
Mixed tendencies prevailed at the
start. Dealings were sluggish
throughout and closing trends re-
manned indefinite. The two-hour
turnover of 2460I6 shares was the
smallest since October II and COM
pared with "83,1Go a week ago.
The Associated Press average of
60 stocks for the third day In
row was unchanged at 40. but on
the week retained an advance of
q Of point. The composite dip
ped slightly in the three preced-
ing weeks.
Warner Brothers at New Peak.
Warner Brothers made another
new high for 1912 at 7, up 4, in
further reflection of a favorable
earnings statement. Reynolds To-
bacco "B" edged downward on fair
sized volume at the start, but came
back and finished up "a.

road. Sears Roebuck and Twin City

Share In arrears were American
Cyanamid "B," Brewster Aero and
International Petroleum. The ag-
gregate here was 54.665 shares versus
IS ,320 last Saturday.
Rail Bonds Active.
The recent pickup in activity in
reorganization rails continued today
and gave the bond market the best
Saturday VOLUME since october 81.
Advances of fractions to around
point were generously distributed
through the rail division but profit
selling in certain carriers held the
Associated Press average even with
the previous close. Several utility
and industrial issues scored mod
crate gains.
There was a good demand for
obligations of the Rock Island. Chi
cago & North Western, Frisco, St.
Paul, New Haven, Baltimore & Ohio
systems.
Firmness Of the general run Of
high rated corporate investment is
sues was associated with Secretary
Morgenthau's optimistic report on
the progress Of the Treasurys nine

United States Governments were
quiet and steady.
Transactions totaled $5,278000
