Threatened Decrease
In Feed Crops

Moving to offset a threatened
drop in feed crops because Of a late,
wet spring, the War Food Admins
tration today modified its Agriculture
Adjustment Administration program,
relaxing provisions which call for
deductions in AAA payments to
farmers who fail to plant at least
go per cent of their war crop goals.
Penalty deductions no longer will
apply on the farms of the Nation,
except in areas where hay and
pasture goals have been established
and in the high plain areas of
Texas and Oklahoma, VIA officials
said. In these areas, county AAA
committees will decide whether
farmers may take advantage of the
notifications.
Associate Food Administrator J.
B. Hutson told reporters that be-
cause of the late season it will be
impossible to get as large an acreage
of corn matured as was anticipated
some weeks ago.
The breaks have been against
us to date, but we will be no worse
OH than last year, If the weather
is favorable from here on out Mr..
Hutson declared.
War food officials point out that
todays action was taken in order
to supply needed feed crops, an item
which has been causing concern
among some FWA authorities. They
point out that floods in the Midwest
have seriously upset the crop pro-

had planned for this year, that

Stressed in Address
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
LOGAN, Utah, May 29.-Adolph
A. Berle, jr, Assistant Secretary of
State, predicted today that Ameri-
can farming would be strained to
the limit" for some time to come,
even after the war, to take care OF
the United States obligations.
After the war, the readjustment
from leaselend to normal trade and
commerce probably will have to be
assisted by credit he added, in a
speech before the graduating class
of Utah State Agriculture College.
Not only is food needed by the
Allies to win the war Mr.. Berle said
but even after the military defeat
of the Axis there will be a continu-
ing obligation to work toward the
necessary cleanup of the greatest
mess in history"
And supply of food inevitably
will be major part of this process
he declared.
To restore commerce that would
take care of postwar production, Mr..
Berle said understandings with
peace loving nations must be found
to assure that the peace will be
kept" otherwise no plans could be
made or constructive program real
lied.
He said a second essential "is the
reliance that the line of free move
ment of ideas. goods and services
must be kept open" That, he said,
was the purpose of the Trade Agree
ments Act. whose extension Is under
discussion In Congress-to reduce
tariff barriers and other discrimina-
tory practices.

Mr.. Henry's statement followed
a blast yesterday by the repre-
sentatives of the Eastern States
Gasoline Dealers Association. who
criticized the current method of
rationing supplies. The dealers
declared present conditions were
the result of poor and imprac-
teal planning" and called for
the appointment of a czar to con-
troll the oil and gas industry with
powers similar to those vested in
William Jeffers in the rubber in
dustry.
John Dressler of Massachusetts,
chairman of the committee, and
Harry Wainwright, Washington rep
resentative, conferred last Thurs
day with Representative Hartley,
ranking minority member of the
Smith Committee investigating
Government agencies.
Mr. Hartley is in New Jersey over
the week end, but his secretary said
members of Congress from the IS
Eastern States affected by the gaso-
line shortage had been invited to a
conference next week to discuss
means of remedying the trouble.
Doctors continued to have diff
Guilty obtaining gasoline for regular
calls but survey made by the Dis
trict's Traffic Bureau indicated that
many motorists had not curtailed
their driving The survey disclosed
a decline in motor traffic of only 20.3
city.
A statement from the Office of
War Information placed the cause
of the shortage on military activi-
ties overseas, but pointed out that it
did not have direct relation" to
the unprecedented and unpredicta-
BILE demand of the armed forces.
In Is days, Owl said. the 18th Air
Force Command, led by Maj. Gen.
James Doolittle, used enough gaso-
line to empty every tank in the
Northeastern coastal shortage area,
and to keep the tanks empty more
than month.
Every day the 18th Air Force
operated over the Mediterranean,
the planes consumed 100000 gall
Ions of high-octane gasoline. In Is
days flying, Gen. Doolittle's flyers
used 16,500,000 gallons. or 1.550,OO0
more than the monthly ration of
regular gasoline for the Atlantic
Seaboard.
Another example cited by OWL:
A round-trip flight of 300 Liberator
bombers from a British base to Ber-
lin would require 525, 1000 gallons.
Baltimore's daily gasoline ration
demand is 5000 less.
owl described the Eastern
drought as mot a shortage in supply
of product, but in supply of trans
portation facilities for the product
and observed:
IF war emergency requires that
shipments of high-octane aviation
gasoline to the Eastern Seaboard be
given the right-of-way, 1t is in
evitable that shipments Of regular
automobile gasoline to the same
place will have to be delayed" =
