Farmers of
Lower Prices

EAST LANSING, Dec. IT.
R)-Predicting that within a
reasonable period after the
war farm prices will decline
from the current level, DR.. l.. j..
Norton, University of Illinois
farm economist, today advised
farmers TO come out of the war
without too many debts, with
cash reserves, and with their
physical plant in good shape.
Norton, who addressed con-
Guiding sessions of the annual
conference OF the Michigan
State College extension service
staff, asserted that at the end of
the war lit is likely that farm
prices will be at a high level
based on normal standards,
probably somewhat higher than
at present"
He predicted, however, that:
Within a reasonable pc
riod after the war there will be
a reaction in prices Of farm
products.
2-The extent Of the fall will
depend on whether there is
further initiation, in which case
the decline would be greater.
3-After a brief, sharp recess
sion, there will be a period Of
several years of rather active
business, with a fair farm price
level, although lower than in
dustrial prices.
1.-The really critical period
will follow the recession.
5-When prices are fairly
good, livestock, fruits and vege-
tables will sell at relatively
higher prices than staple crops
such as wheat, beans and pota-
toes.
Norton declared that "since
our food exports before the war
were negligible and our lend
lease shipments have amounted
TO six per cent of our food pro-
ducton, our contribution 10
postwar feeding of Europe will
be mesger" Domestic demand
for food will be the big factor
in American agriculture after
the war. he said.
The farm program after the
war, he said, would start with
a body of base legislation"
including the CCC. the AAA,
and the agreement to maintain
prices Of basic commodities and
production commodities for two
years after the war. He said he
also expected strong agitation
for a resumption of something
like the food stamp plan and
purchases of temporary sur
pluSes.
He said il would be impos-
slble 10 create prosperity by a
continuation of a collection OF
depression measures. and as
serted that with a reasonable
degree of prosperity farmers
Will lose interest in some of
these schemes and will become
violently opposed if they restrict
free action too much"

Soldiers Vote Measure
Denounced By Senators

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. - @ -
A band of Is house lawmakers to-
day denounced a senate-passed bill,
giving the. states-rather than the
federal government - supervision
over soldier voting next Novem-
Der, as a Substitute for democra-
Cyl and "slap in the face" for
those in the armed forces.
This is CONSUMPTION without re-
presentation" they declared in a
statement pledging united effort to
obtain congressional approval of
a measure to provide a federal
guarantee that the soldiers will be
given vote.
'Let us not try to cloak the
inominy of this (the senates) act
in apologize legislative titles or
equivocating legal argument, !"
they said. Adoption of the social
ed substitute is an insult to the
intelligence of these millions gal
liant Americans whom it disfran-
chises."

WATER DRAINAGE
SETS new MARK
City Manager Nichols Calls
On Wilmingtonians 10
Conserve Water

Friday witnessed the heaviest
drain on the city's water supply
in the history of Wilmington, City
Manager A. C. Nichols disclosed
Saturday, as he requested house
holders to conserve water.
Records in the water and sew
eraee department showed that g.
100000 gallons of water issued
through city pipes on that day.
In an average day, Wilmington
ians draw 100000 gallons. The
gallonage used last Sunday was
3.77O. 900. On Monday, it was a.
10000 gallons.
All facilities have been drafted
to furnish sufficient water to tide
the community over this weather
emergency.
ssIn view of the heavy draft on
the water system, it is suggested
that householders take precautlon
to watch their pipes carefully SO
that no water will be wasted as
result of freezing," Nichols COM
mented.
Much of the heavy draft on the
supply was attributed to broken
pipes in homes. No large mains
have been discovered as frozen
as yet.
By refusing to run water through
pipes. home and industrial con-
surners may not only help to con-
serve the lowered supply, but they
may also avert the damage OF
flooding when the thaw comes.

Patton S Promotion
Held Up Indefinitely,
Chandler Asserts

Action on the nomination Of 1t.
Gen. George S. Patton for q two
grade promotion to the permanent
rank Of major general has been
postponed indefinitely" Chairman
Chandler OF Military Affairs Sub
committee said today.
Senator Chandler said all men,
bers OF his subcommittee, which acts
on promotions, agreed they could
not recommend Gen. Pattons ad-
vancement in view of Secretary Of
War Stimson's report citing three
instances Of Gen. Patton upbraiding
soldiers, one Of whom he cufIed.
"All Of us agreed" Senator Chan
dler said, that the whole Patton
incident was most unfortunate. It
was a mistake for the War Depart
ment to put his name on the list
sent to the President"
Gen. Patton now holds the per-
manent rank of colonel, though he
has been elevated to the temporary
rank Of lieutenant general
The promotions of IA other OH
GERS whose names appear on the
same list with that OF Gen. Patton
are being held up, and the subcom-
mittee will probably ask the Presi-
dent to resubmit these nomina-
tions individually, Senator Chan
dler said.
1t. Gen. Brehon Somervell, chief
OF the Army Service Forces, whose
name Is on the list, may be asked
to appear before the subcommit-
tee If his name is sent back by the
President, Senator Chandler said.
Gen. Somervell was nominated
to be permanent major general.
His present rank Is colonel.
Gen. Somervell has been men,
toned several times in unofiicial
circles as the possible successor
to Gen. George c. Marshall as
chief of staff If Gen. Marshall
should become commander of Al
lied military operations. The COM
mittee has been assured that Gen.
Somervell will retain his supply
post, but Senator Chandler said
there were still "a few things" men,
bers of the subcommittee wanted
to ask him.
Meanwhile, Senator Walgren,
Democrat, OF Washington said he
intended to introduce q bill today
to prohibit further promotions in
the permanent rank OF general
officers. He said the legislation was
not directed at Gen. Patton, but at
stopping the large flow OF nomina-
tions that have been submitted to
the Senate in recent months.
Another bill, which would make
more stringent the qualifications of
candidates for promotion, Is now
awaiting final action in the Senate.
The measure was passed by that
chamber, but was amended when 1t
reached the House.
Senator Chandler indicated his
subcommittee is anxious to hold up
all promotions until the bill limit
ing promotions becomes law. Some
OF the officers on the list with Gen.
Patton would automatically become
ineligible for permanent promotion
under the terms Of the measure,

|Rationing Moratorium
Asked by Packer 10
Avert SpoiIage
Dy the Associated Press,

~ the ASsociat4d Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-America's s
stockyards and slaughter houses now
have more beef and pork than they
can handle, and vast quantities will
spoil unless an immediate two-week
meat rationing moratorium is called,
according to George A. Casey, Inde-
pendent Meat Packers Association
president.
He told q New York State legisla-
tive committee hearing yesterday
that major stockyards could not be
cleared daily because OF an over
supply Of hogs and that the Gov
ernment had asked farmers to hold
back livestock from the market.
Eastern slaughter houses, he said,
are working overtime to process
meat which cannot be sent abroad
Immediately under lease-lend be-
cause Of shipping shortages and
cannot be released to the public be-
cause Of rationing.
Beef ana pork products, he de-
clared, are "glutting every meat
warehouse east of Ohio"
There should, at least, be a mora
torium on pork, effective until jan
uary O." said Mr.. Casey, a Phila-
delphian who asserted his group
represented 900 wholesale meat
professors.
"Otherwise vast quantities defi-
nitely will spoil either In the retail
butcher stores or in the warehouses
and livestock will have to be kept
on the farms where it will perish
without shelter or care"
Under a suspension Of rationing
he added. meat could be sold a,

case, had carried by 977 per cent.
Concerning the incorporating
employees, Mr. Vinson said:
IT Congress legislates a wage in
crease for these workers, it will be-
come difficult, If not impossible, to
deny similar wage increases for
other wage groups; and, indeed, 1t
would be unfair not to give other
workers the same liberal treatment"
He said supporters of the resolu-
ton contended that no increase in
freight rates was involved and COM
mented, Unfortunately, the Inter-
state Commerce Commission and
not the proponents of this legislation
is responsible for fixing freight
rates"
Roads Might Appeal.
The economic sterilization director
asserted that even il the commission
should determine that no rate in
crease was necessary, "the railroads
might with some propriety urge that
the Congress do for them that which
1t had SO generously done for their
employees"
I'm view of the precedent set by
this legislation he said. there is no
guarantee that their plea would fall
on deaf ears.
Therefore, this legislation not
only threatens the stability of our
wartime wage structure, it threatens
As well the stability of our rate
structure and our price structure.
