Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-Wheat prices
fell as much as cent a bushel at
one time today as a result of selling
inspired by trade uncertainty as to
the final wording of price control
legislation being considered by a
conference committee in Congress.
The market rallied lated, however,
but displayed nervousness. because
traders were unwilling to take def
mite action until they knew what
provisions the legislation would
make for increasing Government
loan rates on basic crops. Mean
while, with flour and milling trade
quiet, there was little commercial
activity in the market, although
some mill buying was reported on
the rally.

scoring a new September peak and
helping bring total receipts for the
first nine months of the year to the
highest point on record, Postmaster

September receipts totaled ST.

September War Bond
Quota Exceeded by
Good Margin
Morgenthou Proises
Film Industry for
Aid in Compoien
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau said today sales of War
bonds in September totaled $685.
5000, we'll above the SITS 900 900
quota.
However, the Secretary explained,
that, according to the usual book
keeping methods of the Treasury,
dependent on mail reports of actual
cash deposits, sales were $754 $50 900.
Under this method, part of the ap-
parent September sales actually
were late reports on August trans
actions, while last-minute Septem-
Der sales would not appear until the
October report. Therefore, the
Treasury made telegraphic survey
of Federal Reserve banks which
showed that September sales were
above the quota
In the five months in which quotas
have been set for sale of War bonds,
September therefore was the Sec
ond month in which the goal was
achieved. The other month was
May.
October's quota has not been an
nounced yet, but officials indicated
it would be about $850,OOO, 900.
Morgenthau praised the motion
picture industry for its role in the
September campaign and expressed
particular satisfaction" with the
increasing number of wage earners
who have authorized their employers
to deduct regular amounts from
their pay checks to buy War bonds.

Wool Business Restricted

BY the Associated Press.

BOSTON. Oct. 2.-The Com
mercial Bulletin will say of the wool
market tomorrow:
There is a good continuing de-
mand for domestic wool of all grades
at full ceiling prices, restricted only
by the lessening supplies.
Operations in the West, likewise
have been restricted by the growing
scarcity of wool, to a few States. at
full recent values, where growers
have been willing to accept ceiling
parity.
Manufacturers of worsteds are
concerned over lessening operations
for Army fabrics in the preparatory
stages of manufacture and are max
ing representations to the quarter
master general to step up orders or
release more wool for civilian pur-
poses.
Little buying for this country is
now taking place in foreign primary
markets, owing to the necessity now
OF securing permits for importation,
for all grades, the terms of which
are not yet clearly understood.
"Mohair is bit more active in
Texas, especially kids, which have

ing to the press association re-
porters on the tour.
Secret Service operatives, under
the direction of Michael F. Reilly,
supervising agent, had only a week
to make the advance arrangements.
Daniel L. Moorman, an executive
of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
who has been in charge of 78 trips
taken by the PRESIDENT. worked out
the details for taking Mr. Roosevelt
over 20 different lines.
Itinerary Withheld.
The A. p. U. P. and I. N S. re-
porters were informed two days
ahead of time that they would be
permitted to 60 along. and they
were not even allowed to tell their
families or Offices of the plans.
There really was little they could
have told, however, since about all
they knew before boarding the train
was that they would travel a con-
siderable distance, that they would
be gone about two weeks, and that
they had better take clothing for
both warm and cool weather.
They did not know the itinerary
for more than few hours ahead,
at their own insistence. Then there
could be no chance that they could
in anv way disclose the Presidents
whereabouts.
In some places word had leaked
out ahead of time that some one
important was coming and some
people made some good guesses who
1t would be. But for the most part,
Mr. Roosevelt got clear into war
plants and military establishments
before any persons other than the
top officers or officials knew of the
visit.
In fact, 1t was obvious that hun
dreds of men in uniform and civilian
workers in war industries heard of
his visits only after he had gone.
Some workers looked blankly UP
from machines and turned right
back to their job without being
aware that the Chief Executive was
passing by only q few feet away.
Never had any American Presi-
dent undertaken such q wartime
journey journey which took him,
in the Far West, into an actual
theater of war operations. Extreme
precautions were taken. Nowhere

reporters might share the blame
because they sought out officials
fourth or fifth down the line, but
only laughed when a correspondent
interjected that I'VE would rather
go to the top"
Asked If his criticism of over talk
ative administration officials applied
to recent speeches by Assistant Sec
retary of the Navy Bard and others
to the general effect that we are los
ing the war because of insufficient
production effort, Mr. Roosevelt said
he would put it this way: If he had
bee min their places he would not
have said what they did.
Praises Community Cooperation.
He explained that his praise of the
general war spirit applied not only
to munition plant workers, but to
all groups. He mentioned specifl-
cally one town on his tour where the
banker, newspaper editor, the drug
gist and other townspeople left their
businesses, worked for two or three
days to help farmers in their area,
where there was shortage of farm
labor, get in their crops.
That was real community effoE,
demonstrating the kind of spirit
lacking in Washington, Mr.. Roose-
welt added.
In his reference to war produc-
ton goals the President appeared
to lower the figures generally &C
cepted as the objectives he set in
his January message to Congress.
He explained that his goal was pro-
duction at the rate of $4,000 air.

not necessarily total production of
that number for the year.
He insisted that his meaning of
rate of production. and not total
production, was clear at the time
he called for $4,000 planes in 1912
and l25,000 in 1943, 5000 tanks,
10000 anti-aircraft guns and 8,000,-
900 tons of shipping this year.
AS whole. Mr.. Roosevelt said, he
would say offhand that war produc-
ton is around 81 to 95 per cent of
the current rate aimed at. He
charged that many people deliber-
ately sabotaged the program before
it got started by saying when he
announced his objectives they could
not be met by half, adding that he
thought "a to IS per cent was a
pretty darn good record.

Earlier, an OPA spokesman who

cities remote from cattle areas
could expect shortage of choice
beef in the next few days because
OF the new 23-cents-a- pound price
ceiling on dressed beef.
The spokesman said he was not
surprised to learn that packers con-
templated buyers strike" to force
down live cattle prices far enough
to return to the packers a more

Famine" of Beef Forecast.
The comment was elected by the
prediction made By George A.
Casey, president of the National In
dependent Association of Meat
Packers, that famine" of choice
beef would occur in the next 10
days. Mr. Casey said the 23-cent-a-
pound absolute ceiling would force
packers to handle choice beef at a
loss. and as result packers would
cease buying live cattle in an effort
to bring down the growers prices.
There was indication-but it was
not voiced officially-that OPA
would not be displeased if the pack
ers were able to force down live cat
tie quotations, which already exceed
40 per cent of parity. This, in
effect. would be roll back" of the
packers price squeeze on the grow
ers.
Consumers incenters remote from
cattle grazing centers would feel

because the ceiling price is quoted
