Among products in which the use
OF zinc is forbidden entirely are
locking devices for automobiles, tires

The order also reduces the use of
zinc in automotive and tractor car

half the amount used in 1941.

and 10,166 missing Some of those
listed as missing may eventually be

The air raid reported in the COM

known here, that the enemy had
ventured to make against American
forces on Guadalcanal since his
major effort to reconquer the
Southeastern Solomon island by
land, sea and air attack two weeks

A renewal of japanese bombings
had been expected, however, and
the lone aerial raider which dropped

Hog Goals Boosted;
.S13.25 Price Average
To Be Supported
Wickord Says Needs
Increased by Recent
War Developments

BY the Associated Press.
Declaring that recent war de.
velopments had increased the de-
mand for pork products, Secretary
of Agriculture Wickard today re-
vised upward previously established
l943 hog production goals and at
the same time announced pro-
gram designed to support hog prices
at an average of $13.25 per hundred
pounds, Chicago basis, until Sep
TENDER 30, 1914.
The revised 1913 goals calls for
an increase of Is per cent over this
years record pig crop. On october
l6 the Secretary asked farmers to
increase their 1943 spring farrowings
by 10 per cent.
If realized, the new goal would
result in 1913 pig crop, spring and
fall farrowings combined, of 49,
900, 900 head.
Wickard said hog prices would
be supported through Government
purchase operations of the Agricul-
ture Marketing Administration. The
purchase program, he said, would
be operated in such a manner as
to insure price level of 1925, Chi
cago basis, for good and choice grade
butcher hogs weighing 24O to 27O
pounds, until the fall of 1914.
In order to maintain this price
level, the ANA purchase policy will
be:
l. To pay ceiling prices for all
| pork products offered which meet
Government specifications, except
that If pork professors appear to
have reduced prices for live hogs
unreasonably in view of such CELL
ing prices, or appeared to be inf1at-
ing margins unduly, the ANA price
will be reduced appropriately. OFF,
Gals said they expected this policy
to lead professors to pay prices less
than the Governments support
price.
2. In event prices should fall be-
low the support level, the ANA
would buy live hogs at the support
price and arrange for their process
ing on custom basis.
In announcing the revised hog
program, Wickard said:
In view of the constantly increas-
ing demands for pork products by
lend-lease, the armed services and
our own civilian workers, prices
should stay above the S13.25 Chicago
level during the next two years with
out special Government action,
There is ready market at ceiling
! prices for all the pork and lard that
American farmers can market be-
tween now and the fall of 1914. How
ever, since we want no question of
prices to exist in the minds of the
hog farmers, of whom we are making
such tremendous demand, the De-
partment of Agriculture is making
this guarantee"
Wickard said that he believed eff
Gent packers would certainly be
able to pay prices considerably above
$1325.

An increase in the price of gold

Administration yesterday.
1t was explained that manufac-
turers now must use a relatively ex-
pensive brand of silver as a base for
gold-plated or gold-filled articles.
Formerly they used a cheaper type
of silver or copper.
The amount of the price increase
will depend on the mount of silver
used in each article. The order Is
retroactive to September 3.

dispute as to who shall control war
production, the civil or military"
Calling that the most important
question of the day." the head of the
Senate War Investigating Com
nlittee said that "the function of
generals and aomirals is to fight
battles, and to tell us what they
need to fight battles with. They have
no experience in business or industry,
and the job of producing what they
ask for should be left to businessmen
under the direction of experienced
civilians.
Recommendation Cited.
For these reasons the Truman
Committee wants the War Produc-
ton Board to exercise the powers
that the President gave it, and in its
manpoWer report has recommended
that manpower be placed under
civilian, not military. control"
Discussing the work of his COM
mittee, Senator Truman told of a
recent investigation of the Winfield
Park Housing Project in Linden.
N. j.. for workers at the nearby
kearny shipyards.
We found" he said, that the
project demonstrates outrageous and
inept planning, faulty construction
and poor supervision. The houses
are so poorly built that they are a
menace to the health of prospective
tenants. and people have refused to
live in them.
Tenants Refuse to Pay Rent.
Those persons who were so I'M
fortunate as to have been forced to
move in because of the lack of anv
other housing facilities have refused
to pay rent, yet those houses will
cost more than $4,000 apiece. The
Government was footing all the bills
and paying the contractor many
thousands of dollars as a fee for this
appalling job
These and other facts uncovered
in the Truman committee investi-
cation have all been turned over to
the Department of Justice for ap-
propriate action"
