Grain Morketers Agree
To Restrict Shipments

CHICAGO, May 20 (PD.-Grair
men from the five major markets OF
the Middle West appeared to be near
an agreement today on an "Onbar-
go-except-by- permit" of all cash
grain shipped into their territory.
They conferred in an attempt to
formulate some control of the grain
principally wheat, moving into the
markets for sale.
A spokesman for the Department
Of Agriculture explained that the
type of embargo under consideration
would not necessarily diminish the
volume of cash grain coming into
the markets, but would, through a
system of permits issued by local
grain storage and transportation
committees, regulate its flow more
evenly and prevent a piling up at
grain centers.
This spokesman said the principal
problem facing grain dealers. rail-
roads and the Government was that
of storage, with transportation ia
cilities a second important factor.
A general embargo except per-
NIT on the movement of grain for
storage was agreed on in Kansas
City last week.
But the movement of cash grain
needs to be controlled, too, the
spokesman said, particularly be-
cause the 632 2,o00,00 bushels Of
wheat now in storage was using all
available storage capacity and most
of the grain now entering markets
is cash grain, for sale.
At the present time most wheat
goes into flour. The second largest
portion is taken over by feed deal
ers, the Govern ment spokesman
said, and the third largest portion
Is converted into alcohol.

For Civilian Defense

Earlier Story on Page A-1.)
By the Associated Press.
Representative Young. Democrat,
Of Ohio. asserted in the House today
that civilian defense should be re-
organized, placing supervision un-
der military men rather than civil
ian appointees, citing National Di-
rector James M. Lands, and Re-
gional Director Dan Tyler Moore,
jr, with headquarters at Cleveland,
as examples of the latter.
Saying that the extent Of Mr..
Moore's experience was the holding
of political appointive offices, Rep
resentative Young suggested that it
was unfair to volunteer workers to
pay high salaries to regional direc-
tors, State directors and other civil
ian defense officials.
Representative Young said that
many thoughtful persons believed
that an air raid would make it evi-
dent that the Army should have
charge OF civilian defense.
