Touhy, who had whitened his hair
with peroxide during his brief period
OF freedom, was sighted by fellow

cell blocks where they were per-
mitted to sit up late on New Year
eve to hear radio programs.

Chicago Grain
gy the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-Wheat prices
rose almost q cent a bushel in first
dealings Of 1943 today, coming
within fractions OF the five-year
highs posted earlier in the week.
Buying came from mills and pro-
fessional traders, with part Of the
activity associated with military
and lease-lend purchases of flour.
A 30-day extension of the period
during which producers in North
Central States may apply for Gov
ernment loans on 1912 wheat also
stimulated some buying.
Other grains were strong with
wheat, rye rising about as much,
while corn and oats were up smaller
fractions during the first hour.
Details Of the new flour ceiling
order which goes into effect Monday
were released early in the day but
because Of its length millers had not
yet determined the exact ceiling
prices under which they are to oper-
ate. Omcials Of the Millers National
Federation, who had warned their
members to await release of the de-
tails, were busy analyzing the order.
They pointed out it was illegal for
mills to sell on the new ceiling basis
until Monday.
However, some business was re-
ported to have been worked with
Government agencies, who we're be-
lieved in the market for about
600, 900 barrels, including some -four
for lend-lease shipment.
Some traders were disturbed by
reports that the Commodity Credit
Corp. may call loans on old wheat
stored on farms. While any grain
that would be turned over to the
Government in this way could moi
be sold Tor milling purposes at price.
below parity, traders said such &C.
ton might force producers to redeem
their grain and sell in the oper
market.
