Murray Blames Companies.
Banging away at the need for
metal, Philip Murray, president of

companies of letting inefficiency and

failure to gather scrap eventually
might cut steel output to 80 per

President Roosevelt signed into

generally that married men with

Feed Surplus Is Cut Sharply;
More Wheat May Be Needed

as rapidly as Government ofIicials
originally had hoped. The Govern
ment has been Offering wheat for
sale at discount prices since January
and still has more than 800 900 900
bushels available. There is q differ
ence Of opinion regarding the price
at which this wheat should be sold,
because of the effect on prices of
other feeds. Some farm groups op-
pose sales below parity and legisla-
ton is pending to prevent or limit
this.
When the wartime livestock pro-
duction goal was announced there
was little anxiety about feed since q
big surplus existed. The record corn
supply was q most comforting fac
tor then.
However. expanded war demand
has altered the corn picture. Not
only Is livestock feeding at a record
pace. but industry, which transforms
corn into sugar. sirup, starch and
oil, all needed in the war effort, Is
taking more than ever before. Fur
thermore, increased use Of corn for
alcohol production for the munitions
and synthetic rubber industries Is q
possibility.

NEW YORK, June 27.-Steel scrap
collections, scantier this week in
several major producing areas, In

At the same time demand for

CHICAGO, June T.-Record-
breaking consumption has made
heavy inroads on the Nations sur
plus of feed, vital for wartime ex-
pansion of livestock production, and
has increased the possibility that use
of more wheat for this purpose will
be necessary, grain trade statistics
indicated today.
Iowa State College economists,
D. G.. Johnson and T. w. Schultz,
analyzing these statistics, have ex-
pressed belief that unless farmers
feed at least 25,o00,000 bushels of
bread grain each month they will be
unable to produce enough meat next
year to meet military and lend-lease
requirements and maintain civilian
consumption at l94l levels.
Grain experts said the surplus
carryover of old wheat on July
would permit this rate Of livestock
consumption for about two years
They said this surplus is clogging
storage facilities and that feeding
would relieve this situation.
Market observers said wheat feed
ing was expanded recently but not

. CHICAGO. June 27.-With Gov
ernment lendlease buying far above
the same period year ago. hogs
sold at their highest levels this week
in Is years-breaking through the
resistance area maintained since
permanent ceilings were placed on
dressed pork.
Lend-lease buying now has been
going on for more than a year and
1t Is possible to make some COM
parsons of present purchases with
those Of year ago. These COM
parisons show the manner in which
the Agricultural Marketing Admin
istration. buying agency, has stepped
up its program.
In the first three weeks of this
month the ANA took 83,l45, 900
pounds OF canned pork, 81 1893 900
pounds Of cured and frozen pork and
81 ,03l 900 pounds of lard. In all of
June, 194l, purchases totaled only
6,604,000 pounds of canned pork,
10,O85 900 pounds of cured and
frozen pork and 19,442 900 pounds
Of lard.
The first full month of lend-lease
buying last year was April. Pur-
chases made in April and May last
year, compared with the same
months this year, follows:

Hogs closed the week at top of
$l4.7O, 20 cents above last week end
and new peak since September,
1926. All weights, as well as sows,
shared in the advance.
Fed steer arrivals were heavy and
quotations were steady to Is cents
lower, choice weighty kinds showing
the decline.
Spring lambs closed the week
strong to mostly 25 cents higher.
Marketings continued to dwindle.
Packers to Protest.
A group OF independent meat
packers said yesterday they had ar
ranged a meeting next Wednesday
with Assistant Secretary of Agricul-
ture Grover B. Hill to protest against
an OPA price ceiling on pork prod
uct prices without accompanying re-
striction on live hog prices.
Wilbur La Roe, counsel for the
independent group which had deSig-
mated itself as the Emergency Con-
ference of Meat Packers, said that
the independent packers were
squeezed between the upper and
neither milstones" by the price CELL
ing on products and the absence of
a control on live prices.
When the maximum prices on
pork were established in April. La
Roe said the price of live hogs at
Chicago was 1915 cents a hundred
but the price since has increased to
over l45 cents.
Claim Margins Gone.
Since II Is claimed that the mar
gin OF the average packer is less
than one cent per pound" La Roe
said, 1T is contended that the en-
tire margin of profit has been wiped
out and that hundreds of packers
are threatened with ruin"
Aides Of Hill said the Agriculture
Department had no control over
ceiling prices on processed pork and
other meats products.
Only in the ceiling on raw agri-
culture products-such as live hogs
and cattle-does the Department
have any authority, they explained.
Under the price control law, the
Department may veto ceiling prices
on strictly agriculture products.
