Plan For Fair
Coal Shorinq

Washington, July l7.-(UP) The
solid fuels administration Is work
ing on plan for equitable alloca-
ton of hard coal among communi-
ties SO that all houSeholderS will be
able to keep their homes warm dur
ing the coming winter. 1t was
learned today.
Details have not yet been COM
pleted, officials said. The program
is scheduled to become effective on
Sept. l and will be designed to elm
mate inequitieS which prevailed last
year when some hard coal conSum-
ers had plenty and others had none.
The plan will cover all sections
using anthracite-especially New
England, New York, Pennsylvania,
Delaware. Maryland and the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The program will attempt to take
care of situations such as communi-
ties whose population has grown
during the past year, and which,
therefore, will need more coal than
they had iast winter.
DR.. Charles Potter, of the Solid
Fuels Administration, told the new
England Governors conference yes
terday that while it has never been
announced BEFORE" the government
intended allocating every con.muni-
ty this year 80 per cent OF the
amount c. ecel eHnsumed last vim
ter. The remaining 10 percent would
be withheld for critical areas. He
said that this new policy would be
put into operation by Sept l.
The Solid Fuels Administration
has ordered all anthracite producers
wholesalers and doCt operators t.
file reports showing where and to
whom they distributed their Goa
supplies last year. The figures re-
ceived will be used as the basis fol
a permanent plan after Sept. !.

Urges Small
Hogs Sale
BY FRED BAILEY
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

UNITED Press Stair Correspondent
Washington, July 17.-(UP)-De-
spite the recent furore raised in
Congress and the market shortage
of corn, the War Food Admins
tration and the Office of Price
Administration have agreed to hold
the-line on prices of both corn and
hogs.
Following closely OPA's announce
ment that there will be no change
before October 81 in the corn cell
ing price, the VIA prepared to ex-
tend its price support of $13.75 a
hundred pounds to lighter weight
hogs
War Food Administrator Marvin
Jones as war food administrator,
to sell their hogs at lighter weights
in order to conserve cor nsupplies
which have dwindled to a point
threatening livestock, dairy and
poultry production.
Chester C. Davis, predecessor of
Jones as war fodo administrator,
established a floor" of $13.75 a
hundred pounds for hogs weighing
24O to 27O pounds. That support
price likely will be extended to
hogs weighing 220 pounds and more.
The emphasis on lighter weight
hogs will result, officials said, in
a considerable saving of feed per
pound of meat produced. Hogs
gain weight NOR eslowly per bushel
of corn consumed after they pass
about 22O pounds.
The heavier weights were request
ed last fall and winter when the
need was greatest for increasing lard
production. The result was disap-
pointing because packers left most
of the fat on the meat. 1t brought
higher price that way than when
rendered as lard, but most OF the
fat was wasted in cooking.
Midwestern farmers are holding
nearly 2OO,OOO,OOO bushels of corn
largely for feeding to hogs, while
other sections of the country are
extremely short on fed grains. Corn
fed to hogs brings a return OF about
81 80 to $1.40 a bushel when sold
as meat at the present hog prices.
The farm ceiling price on corn aver
ages about $1.03 q bashel.

Mariner Ends
Long Voyage

Il sea on his lips and a love
for the sea in his heart, and he
packed his 81 years of living

periences mariner could want.
Captain Medium will not
soon be forgotten by anyone who
knew him. In excellent health
until the time of his death, last
Sunday, due to a fall down a
flight of steps, he still had all
his own teeth, a fine head of
hair, and keep appreciation of
life in general-the sea in par
ticular.
He began his career as a sail
or back in 1874, and for 81 years
he was a skipper on the Great
Lakes.
Veteran owners were amazed.
when two years ago, he passed
physical examina with fly
ing colors enabling him TO do his
part in the national defense pro-
gram by relieving younger men
and going back TO the sea again.
His philosophy of life-and his
desire in life-was neatly sum-
med up in the refrain he always
hummed-I must go down TO
the sea again, TO the lonely
gypsy life; ITO the gull's way
and the whales way, where the
