Wickard Is Expected
To Order Suspension
OF Wheat Quota
Abandonment Of Penalty
On Excess Sales Also
Forecast by Aides
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
With the food situation growing
tighter, the Government is expected
soon to abandon its rigid control
program on wheat, including a 60
cent-a- bushel penalty on excess
sales. and allow some expansion in
production
When Secretary of Agriculture
Wickard announced last fall that
marketing quotas and the penalty
tax would continue in 1943 wheat
supplies were at record level. Mr..
Wickard said land and labor which
otherwise would be used to produce
extra wheat should be employed In
growing Scarcer crops.
Three Arguments.
Aides said Mr. Wickard, the food
administrator, probably will issue
an order soon suspending the quota
program. They cited these three
arguments for such action:
%. The quotas would have to be
submitted to farmer referendum
this spring. with some doubt they
would be approved by the necessary
two-thirds majority.
~. With supplies OF many foods
growing scarce and civilians likely
TO be placed on a diet containing
greater proportions of cereals. the
quotas might evoke severe consumer
criticism.
49, The wheat supply situation,
which last summer was marked by
overf1oWing granaries, has changed
somewhat. After last years bumper
harvest. the United States had sufi-
cient wheat to supply normal needs
for two years. Since that time an
immense quantity has been used for
livestock feed and the supplies are
no longer considered burdensome.
Winter Wheat Already Planted.
Lifting quotas at this time would
not result in material expansion in
1943 wheat acreage because winter
wheat, which constitutes most of
the crop. was seeded last fall leaving
only spring wheat to be planted.
The program originally called for
52,500,000 acres as compared with
peak acreages of 10000, 900 in the
early 30s. Under the program, each
farmer is allowed to sell only that
wheat grown on his planting allot-
ment. Grain grown on excess acres
is subject to the penalty tax.
Mr.. Wickard is being urged by
some Congress members to encour-
age farmers in the spring wheat belt
TO plant more than their allotments,
providing that they first seed their
goals of such war crops" as fax,
soyoeans, dry beans and peas,
potatoes and grain sorghums.
These increased paintings would
be largely in areas where corn does
not grow well The extra wheat
could be used for livestock feed if
not needed for human consumption
the Congress members say.

"o SPEAK frankly, there are two accu-
sations that are most often leveled
- by Americans against English and
vice versa Americans say that the Eng
lish are snobs. And the English say that
Americans boast Is there any basis of
truth in these accusations? Frankly, there
is "a little - say ten per cent - and
it's much more sensible to admit it than
to deny it, because when once you've ad-
mitted it, you try to understand it, and
when once you begin to understand it,
you cease to resent it.
don't mean merely that when Ameri-
cans boast, they are justified on the ground
that America is something to boast about;
that is true, but no more than it is true
also of England. What makes the Ameri-
can boast unique is that it is deliberate
form of humor, joke for home consump-
ton even more than for export, and some
thing that grew out of the original joke
that you could never be certain whether
pioneer American boasters were joking or
not. For consider the yarns of those pio-
neers, the tales told over campfres that
we're burning only a century ago - tall
stories that men laughed at as children
laugh when they are just little bit
scared
Yet the tallest stories of all were true.
There were trees so big you could drive
wagon through them. There was hole
IN the ground mile deep with river
flowing at the bottom. There we're nuggets
of gold as big as mans fist.
OUT on the lonely trails, with the perils
of desert and mountains ahead of them,
what could men do but laugh at these
wonders and cap them, as if challenged, by
inventions out of their own heads? If they
had not treated the vastness, the fabu-
lousness of the country as huge joke,
they might have been sheerly terrified byit.
And even today it is still little terrify-
ing - the loneliness of roads that run
arrow-straight for fifty miles, the train
that leaves one end of Texas before mid
night and travels fast all night and fast
all the next day and at midnight again is
still in Texas - even the sound of Ameri-
can trains at night whistling in the dark
almost as if they we1e whistling in the dark.
To an Englishman, living never more
than an afternoons stroll from the next
town or village, all this is hard to realize;
even Americans who live in cities some
times forget it. But it is there, deep in
Evening star., 1943-10-31

American bones and blood, the thrill of
the geography that made their history.
And it has left a thousand imprints on
American life - annual conventions in
which half the fun is travelling thousand
miles to meet a crowd of men in new
place; the gag that puts up Los Angeles
City Limits" in Australia or the Aleu-
tians; the traditional joke about listening
in on the party-line telephone; the streak
of wild poetry that coined such phrases
as sky pilot" and prairie schooner:
and that fabled American greeting, surely
the warmest the world ever heard -
'Howdy, stranger"
The English should remember all of
this when they think an American boasts
or ooerstates. And the American should
be indulgent, too. He shouldn't brand the
English as snobs because they try to con-
troll their enthusiasm by understatement
- by saying mot bad" when what they
really mean is very good indeed"
INCIDENTALLY it occurs to me that per-
haps our two national characteristics of
overstatement and understatement are
fundamentally the same thing. The Eng
lish were also boasters in the days when
they we're pioneering. There never were,
in fact, such boasters as the Elizabethans
i poets and pirates, and poet-pirates -
Sir Francis Drake, Christopher Marlowe
and all their crowd. But after that century,
long outburst, the English settled down,
their boastings grew aged in the wood, as
it were mellow, ripe - even occasion
ally overripe, as in the vintage that pro-
duced the remark of the Oxford don who
assured his American visitor that it was
really quite simple to have lawns as smooth
as those of his college were - all you had
to do was to keep on rolling them for
few hundred years.
Seems to me that's about the same
thing, under the surface. as the Empire
State Building is on top. But the main
thing is not whether the English are guilty
of understatement and the Americans of
overstatement - what does matter is that
our basic statements about things that mat
ter are the same our statements about
life, and living, and the kind of things we
think worth living and dying for.
When people have work to do together
that may last few centuries, finding each
other mot so bad" is a great discovery
1t makes smoother job - like that COL
lege lawn.

LIBERTY SHIP. On September
4, the Marie M. Melo,ey. named
for the late editor of TINS WEEK
Magazine, was launched at Balti-
more. Almost before the great gray
hull had splashed into the waters of
the Patapsoo. workmen were swarm
ing over the vacated ways, scraping
off the coated grease, preparing to
lay the keel of another vessel.
Americans swelled with pride last
month when the full picture of our
shipbuilding triumph was revealed
more than 2, 100 ocean-going craft
in two years. Countless thousands of
you who never saw shipyard have
helped to win this victory. especially
for the Liberty Ships, since the hull
sections and equipment of these
merchantmen are made in every
state, and put together in the yards
like mighty jigsaw puzzles.
Did you know that you can take
part in still another way - by help
ing to choose names for our merchant
marine? Names for Navy ships are
picked according to rigid rules laid
down in 1919 by Act of Congress -
certain classes of ships for States;
others for cities, rivers, island pos
sessions - even for oil fields and
volcanoes.
NAMES for Liberty Ships, however,
are chosen by the Committee on
Launchings of the US. Maritime
Commission, to honor deceased
Americans who have made dis
tinguished contributions to the
progress of our country. Has your
community a local hero or heroine
who you believe should be thus
honored? You may send this sug-
gestion to Commissioner ]. M.
