Growers Favor
Wheat Control
Michigan Votes
;, 499 TO 9l3

WASHINGTON, May 4-P)-
Operations Of the federal wheat
marketing control program for
another season is favored over
whelmingly by the growers.
Tabulation sOf votes cast Sat-
urday in 40 states showed more
than 81 per cent were in the
yes column. The returns were
not quite complete, but they in
cluded the states in which agri-
culture department officials ex-
peCted substantial opposition. A
tWo-thirds vote was needed for
continuance Of the program.
The totals: In favor Of market
ing quotas, 281 ,295; opposed g.
083.
In support of the control pro-
gram il is contended that carry
over supplies and the 1912 pro-
duction would give the country a
two-year stock of wheat this fall.
Reduced w h { acreage also
would mean greater production
of other needed supplies, such
as meat, dairy and poultry prod
ucts and vegetables. The wheat
acreage this year is slightly less
than 100000 acres, compared
with a peak of 8O.000,000.
The vote in Michigan was 81
499 for the quotas and 913
against.

Rai(hei Proves
Attack Weapon
Vernon Bates
Makes Confession

Vernon Bates, At, colored.
who admitted the crowbar beat
ing of his wife, Dorothy, 81, or
April %, confessed 10 Deputy
SheriffS Thomas Kaltenbach and
Richard DeKetelaere Saturday
that blood-stained hatchet
found in the basement of his
home at 52l7 Walters avenue,
in Clinton township, was his
actual weapon.
The confession followed the
comment of his landlord, Horace
Brown, that both a Ratchet and
a crOWbar had been left on a
chair in the home when Brown
left for his work the Saturday
morning of the attack and that
the Ratchet and the crowbar
were both gone when he was
permitted TO enter the house to
get some clothing.
1t also bore out the conten-
ton of st. Joseph's hospital to
which Mrs. Bates was removed
that the numerous wounds in
her head were hardly of a type
to have been created by a heavy
blunt instrument like a crow
bar.
The crowbar theory was the
first advanced by sheriff's Off
GERS after such a weapon, found
tucked away among the rafters
of the basement of the Walters
street home, was found to be
bloodstained. After telling a fic-
titious story of how he had been
attacked and bound by the mys-
ferrous assailant of his wife,
Bates confessed late on the af-
ternoOn of the assault that he
had used the crowbar in his at
tack.
Saturday Deketelaere and
Kaltenbach went 10 the house
and found bloodStained Ratchet
in the hollow space between the
double-walls of the basement.
They grilled Bates who stead
lastly adhered to the original
confession until the officers con-
fronted him with the blood
stained Ratchet.
Then he made a clean breast
of the whole affair, they said.
In the meantime his landlord,
Horace Brown, was comforting
with sheriff's officers as how he
could persuade Bates to move
from the Walters street place.
One of the things, Bates told of
ficers, that prompted him to at
tack his wife was that she had
devoted money he had given her

GERMAN RATIONING

Formal rationing started in
Germany a week before the war
began in 1889, when cards were
distributed allotting weekly in
dividual rations as follows:
Bread 8.5 ounces; fats Clutter,
lard, margarine) 9.5 ounces;
meats and meat products 10
ounces; cheese 22 ounces; sugar
8.8 ounces; oatmeal and rice 5
ounces; milk 2 to 5 ounces for
children, none for adults.
Potatoes later went on the ra-
ton list and other allowances
were frightened up generally.
AS early as August, 1899, a
woman in Germany could not
buy anything new under the
clothing restrictions if she had
two dresses, three sets Of under
wear, two nightShirts or pa
jamas, two petticoats, six pairs
Of stockings, six handkerchiefs.
No doubt she gets along with
much less now.
Men in Germany then were
limited to two suits and three
shirts and allowed only one stick
Of shaving soap for five months.
At the start of the war Ger
man citizens had to give up their
automobiles if they we're not
used in war work; only 10 per
cent of the people could buy
gasoline; tires were confiscated,
all durable goods limited TO pur-
chase by special permit, and
taxis used only for war and
civilian emergency purposes.
Great Britain waited three
months after the start Of the war
January. l940-before ration
ing necessities. Then the entire
civilian population was COM
PEELED to register with the neigh
borhood grocer and produce
cares to get subnormal quaint
ties Of butter, eggs, bacon and
ham, sugar and tea.
Britain extended rationing TO
clothing in June, 1941.

Although Americans have felt
the pinch SO far only on new
automobiles and tires and are
about to be put on sugar and, in
some areas, on gasoline rations,
Henderson looks for a gradual
widening of the goods-apportion-
ing program. He says the coun-

turally we will be prepared for
rationing"
OPA officials pointed out that

Of war, the American people still

that money can buy.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11-(P)
Talk of a possible new row
between the Army and the civil
ian administration was heard in
Senate cloakrooms today - this
time over Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wickard's food control
powers.
AS reported by one Senator,
who asked to remain anonymous,
the Army is apprehensive over
the broad new powers delegated
to Wickard, pointing out that ne
could, if he so chose, make the
Army eat beans seven days a
week.
There has been no suggestion
that Wickard harbors any such
intention, the Army critics con-
cede, but they would like to re-
gain full control over the Army's
diet.
AS in the recently settled dis
pute with the War Production
board over the scheduling of
arms production, Lieut.. Gen.
Brehon B. Somervell's services
of supply again is involved.
President Roosevelt, in giving
Secretary Wickard sweeping
control over producing and dis
tributing food for domestic and
overseas use, authorized and di-
rected him to purchase and
procure food for such Federal
agencies and to such extent as
he shall determine necessary or
desirable, and promulgate poll
cies to govern the purchase and
procurement of food by all other
Federal agencies"
That, in effect, gives the Sc
cretary the power to fix the
