Reed (R) Kan. today met with
War Food Administrator Marvin
Jones, Economic Sterilization Di-
rector Fred Vinson and Director OF

an effort TO solve the tangled wheat
problem.
Seriously alarmed over less-than-
parity prices for wheat, created
by recent House action Withdraw
ing soil conservation and parity
payments for the grain, the sena-
tors are demanding a boost in the
price ceiling on -four.
The government has asked wheat
farmers to plant S70.0OO.0O0 acres Of
wheat in 1944-1S.000.00 acres
above the 1913 planting.

er would be foolish" to plant more
wheat when he is long way
from being assured OF parity price.
Meanwhile. Reed points out that

Police Chief Dan f. l.. Patch, re-

Police Chiefs Association, told the
annual meeting Of the organization
in a three day war conference at
Hotel Belvedere. Charlevoix, today
that problems of law enforcement
which gave police so many head
aches today would seem like a
bed OF roses in comparison with
the headaches that police would
have in the post war era.
He said that world police

trade long after the official end
of war hostilities. He said wave

inevitably bring a counterpart in
greatly increased crime. and that
Juvenile delinquency is a mis-
homer, that adult delinquency
would be a better term, and hint
ed that even the parents were not
entirely to blame for broad eco

their control. But he referred TO
juvenile delinquency as wrong
term. implied that there is no such
thing as a delinquent juvenile and
that It is someone's else sin when

high as 1900. 000-barrels daily,

phasizing the continued critical ma
ture OF the fuel supply problem.
Those estimates compare with
the 100000 barrels daily aver
age consumption in 1912, and Ass
600 barrels daily consumption in
April, 1943.
The proposed division OF supplies
between the military and civilians
in 1914 was not disclosed. Lieut..
Gen. Brehon T. Someryell, in com
mand OF the Army Services OF Sup.
ply, recently estimated that for the
remainder OF 1943 military needs
would approximate 100000 bar
rels a day.
Officials declined to say whether
all the necessary demands could
be met The Petroleum Admins
tration's latest weekly East Coast
supply bulletin showed that in the
four weeks ending June 90, over
land movement of petroleum pro-
ducts TO the eastern seaboard to-
tailed 1,369,939 barrels daily. That
was an increase OF So per cent over
shipments during the correspond.
ing period last year. but obviously
falls far short OF what reasonably
might be regarded as sufficient
stocks TO meet the estimated 1914
demands.
One bright spot. according to Of
fcials. is the War Production
Boards recent report that tanker
production is proceeding at an un.
expectedly high rate. They may
be used to transport petroleum pro-
ducts from the Caribbean area.

Washington. July Pup The
Justice Department proceeded with
its investigation OF the Curtis.-
Wright Aircraft Corporation today.
while the War Department still
offered no comment on charges Of
the Senate Truman Committee
that Army officers 'abetted" Cur

Allotted Practice
The Truman report, first made
public this week end, said faulty
equipment turned out blythe Lock
land. O.. plant OF Wright Aeronau-
teal Corporation, a Curtiss-W Wright
subsidiary, passed inspection tests
because the company fslsified re-
ports and forged tests, and that
some Army officers abetted the
company in these practices.
The Justice Department has filed
suit against Curtiss-Wright Presi-
dent G. w. Vaughan and seven Of
ficers of Wright Aeronautical. but
Assistant Attorney General Tom c.
Clark OF the War Frauds Division
said the suits were filed principally
to prevent private individuals from
similar action under the 'informer"
statute. He said no proceedings
will be begun unless the current
investigation warrants them.
Denies All Charges
Meanwhile. Vaughan denied all
charges, contending that Curtiss-
Wright equipment Is making an
contribution TO the
winning of the war.
The Truman report, while deyot-
ing much of its space TO charges
against Curtiss-Wright, gave an
optimistic overall picture OF Ameri-
can airpower. and even tempered
its criticism OF Curtiss by declar-
ing that cts performance, taken
