Borden Economist Halls
Increase in Dairy Cows
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May 81. - DR..
Charles K. Tucker. economist fol
the Borden Co., milk products con.
Germ, reported yesterday a substan.
tial upward trend in the number OF
dairy cows on American farms.
Tucker said Agriculture Depart.
ment surveys showed a total OF
26,303, 900 head on last January l
total exceeded only on January l
1884, when the estimate was 26,93l,.
900.
Factors tending to bring about
this increasing number of COWS are
the unusually high prices of COW,
relative to the prices of other
products the farmer sells and the
production of plentiful supplies OF
animal feeds" Tucker commented
The unusually high prices OF
dairy products in l941 have further
accentuated this upward trend"
He said it was probable that the
number Of milk cows would increase
more rapidly than the human popu.
lation, at least during the next few
years, pointing to the large number
of heifers and heifer calves, poten.
TALLY producers.
Tucker reported the price of milk
cows in the United States averaged
$50 go in April. compared with s7l6i
in 1941 and s6l.30 in 1910.

Stock Rally Halted
By Warning Against
War Optimism
Fractional Setbocks
Recorded at Close;
Trading Slows
By VICTOR EUBANK.

NEW YORK, May 22.-Peace-
thinking waned as a stock market
stimulant today when Washington
authorities warned that optimism
in this respect was unwarranted or
at least premature.
Hesitancy at the opening was
taken as an indicator that Thurs
days buying bulge in selected issues
may have gone bit too far not
withstanding rising hopes that for
tunes of the United Nations were
improving. The reasoning had been
that many previously war-depressed
stocks would stand to benefit If the
world conflict should come to sur
prise finish.
Speculative and investment con-
tingents that shifted to the bullish
side yesterday and promoted the
liveliest session since March began
to tighten commitments at the start.
Dealings returned to the sluggish
area, however, and losses for the
most part were in fractions. Scat
tered modest gamers were in evi-
dence in the final hour, although
minus marks were numerous.
Transfers for the five hours ap-
proximated 300 900 shares.
Bidders were unable to find much
inspiration in the news budget.
either from battle fronts, business.
tax prospects or growing Federal
controls.
Rail Bonds Improve.
Advances of fractions to moro
than a point were numerous among
the rails near the final hour in the
bond market. Other groups were
steady and showed only small
changes either way.

"ROsh Hashana tnoW paSt

This Changing World
Jops Expected to Seek Foothold in Austrolio
Or Strike at lndio While Iron Is Hot

Japanese high command must
be uneasy.
These considerations lead
many experts to believe that the
next Japanese move will be di-
rected against Australia proper
and the islands straddling our
communications. Other strate-
gists. however, believe the Japa-
nese will attempt to exploit their
successes in Burma and strike
while the iron Is hot by attack

ish-Indian negotiations together
with the Japanese victories in
the South Pacific and Indian
Ocean have made India-in the
opinion of many observers-ripe
for something more than pas

Japs Concerned Over China.
The Japanese are concerned
over the situation Of China. II,
after the conquest of Burma,
India can be thrown into such
turmoil that no further supplies
can reach Gen. Chang Kai-
sheks armies, Toxic figures that
China will be ready to listen to
peace terms.
Even in the darkest hours Of
their war with Japan, Chinese
forces received enough supplies
from abroad to enable them to
resist. Now the Burma road is
gone, and if, in addition, all
communications between the
Chinese and their western al
lies through India can be cut
of, Toxic believes there is little
for the Chinese to do but resort
to guerrilla warfare.
In order to attain this objec-
tive Japanese troops will have
to enter India proper and raise
their flag over cities like Ma
dras and Calcutta, the easiest
to conquer. Furthermore, the

couragement Is that there seems
now slight chance of two objec-
tives avowed by the President
wage stabilization and restriction
of farm prices to parity-being
realized. Even though both were
achieved, few informed persons
think Mr.. Roosevelts plan would
work without vastly more COM
prehensive taxation and economy
program than he has suggested.
But, without wage sterilization
and with the farm-price level
fixed at ITO instead of parity the
whole business becomes absurd.
Mr.. Henderson might then pro-
claim his overall price ceilings
but he could not maintain them
with twice as great an enforce
ment army as is proposed.
The basis for the present feel
ing is the obvious determination
of the farm bloc in Congress to
hold firm against reduction OF
the ITO per cent parity goal so
long as there is neither executive
nor legislative action to freeze
wages.
Legislation Killed.
For the present, at least, the
President most successfully has
killed all possibility of legislative
action. AS for executive action,
that is in the hands of his War
Labor Board, which is his crea-
ture, which certainly will not
freeze wages" unless directed to
do so by him, and which even
now. under strong labor union
pressure, is wavering as to wheth-
er to increase rather than freeze
wages in the Little Steel COM
panies.
After weeks Of hearings and
arguments, the decision in this
case is expected shortly. 1t will
be the big test. If the board
grants, either fully or partly, the
$l-a-day increase demand it will
mean that Mr.. Roosevelt has not
fully used his influence to imple-
ment his program.
On the other hand, if the board
rejects the demand and freezes
the present scale in Little Steel =
1t will head of the inevitable
following demands for the larger
steel companies and mean tha.
Mr.. Roosevelt's actions in this
matter are in accord with his
words.
