Big Food Supplies
Available for June,
A. & P. DiscIoses
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 31.-The June
civilian food outlook Is more favor
able than in May, the Great At
lantic g. Pacific Tea Co. reported.
Fresh fruits and vegetables, with
but few exceptions, will be plentiful
next month, meat supplies will be
at about the same level as in May
and more butter should be available
as sales have dropped and supplies
are piling up" said the report based
on adyices from 140 buying offices.
"The fish picture is bright, with
large catches reported from most
areas. Canned goods and other
staples are in good supply, the
surplus in eggs should continue
through most Of June and fowl and
ducks will move to market in much
heavier quantity.
Cheese, however, continues to be
very short along with roasting
chickens and fryers."
Trade sources were reported puz-
zled by the decline in butter sales
despite the reduction In point value,
but added even if the public still
considered the point value too high,
backed-up supplies were not sum-
cient as yet to warrant any further
decrease.
Vegetable truck crops were ex-
pected to be up IS per cent in June.
The strawberry crop was described
as the poorest in years, but it was
said this should be Offset partly by
increased supplies Of melons and
cherries.

Senate Report Backs
Move 10 Boost Price
For Cotton Textiles
BY the Associated Press.

A majority report of the Senate
Banking Committee held today that
Congress should order some cotton
textile ceilings raised to bring raw
cotton prices up to parity, but a
minority statement SAID this would
lead to an 'inf1ationary runup of
prices and wages" endangering the
entire stabilization program.
The reports, prepared for submis-
sion to the Senate later today, con-
flicted sharply over the contention
of the minority group that the pro-
posed cotton amendment to the
price control law would hike cloth
ing costs at least 5 per cent and
yield fantastic" profits for the cot
ton industry. Chairman Wagner
and five other Senators signed the
minority statement. The amend
ment already had been criticized by
President Roosevelt and Price Ad-
ministrator Chester Bowles.
Senator Bankhead, Democrat, of
Alabama, author Of the amendment,
and others submitting the majority
report said "the disappearance Of
low-priced cotton goods from the
market has certainly not aided the
stabilization program Indeed, It
has actually increased the cost Of
living.
The return of low-cost cotton
goods to the market by q readjust-
ment Of the price relationship be-
tween low-cost textiles and those
with higher prices, even at an IN
crease In the price at which the low
cost goods were formerly available,
would result in an actual net saw
ing Of great Importance to con-
sumers," the report added.
The majority report also asserted
that any profit windfall accruing to
the mills would be absorbed by
wartime excess profits tax rates.
The minority report said the
amendment, If adopted, Twill inev-
itably touch of demands by other
industries for the granting of price
increases on the same basis. II
these are yielded to, then, having
enormously increased the profits of
industry and materially Increased
the cost of living. 1t would be out
of the question to continue the
present stabilization Of wages. I.
at would be tragic If the Con-
gress were thus to destroy the
economic stability which has been
won with such great dificulty over
the past two years" The amend
ment was incorporated by the Bank
ing Committee in legislation to ex-
tend the price-wage control law for
18 months from June 30.
Signing the minority report, be-
sides Senator Wagner, were Sena-
tors Danaher, Republican, Of Con-
necticut; Radcliffe, Democrat, of
Maryland; Murdock, Democrat, of
Utah; Glass, Democrat, Of Virginia,
and Maloney, Democrat, of Con-
necticut.

Stock Market Rises
To Four-Year Peaks;
100000 Traded
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, May 31.-The stock
market rounded out rising month
today with another broad display
of strength on volume of more than
million shares.
Final hour gains in industrial and
rail leaders ranged from fractions
to around 2 points. The average
not only established high levels for
May, but virtually duplicated the
four-year peak attained in July Of
1943.
Bonds and commodities also ad-
vanced.
Rails and speeialties paced the
stock exchange move in the early
proceedings. After midday steels
motors, merchandising stocks and
industrial blue chips worked up con-
siderable animation on the advance
side.
Brokers attributed the lively buy
ing interest to a continued inflow of
investment money which partly at
least was regarded as an expression
OF confidence in the military situa-
ton in italy and in the invasion
outcome.

Crowley Reports Rise
In 1943 Earnings Of
Insured Banks
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Net profits of 1924 insured com
mercial banks in 1943, after taxes
amounted to $638, 100000, highes
figure in history of deposit insur.
ance, and an increase of $197 7,000, 90,
or Is per cent over 1912, Chairman
Leo T. Crowley of the Federal De
posit Insurance Corp, reported
today. Profits represented a return
of 8.6 per cent on capital accounts
another new high mark.
Mr.. Crowley attributed the in
crease in profits chiefly to substan'
tial gains in current operating earn.
ings, recoveries and profits on Sc.
curities sold. Dividends were $685..
600, about the same as in 1912
while the amount added to capita
accounts was nearly double the l94s
total.
The largest single item of income
was interest on United States Gov.
ernment obligations, which amount.
ed to 1851, 100000, an increase Of
$25l, 100000 or Al per cent. Interest
on loans declined by $l13,0O0,0o0 to
$692, 600, 900, smallest amount ir
seven years. The average rate OF
income on loans was 3.75 per cent
lowest since deposit insurance was
started. <
Total current operating earnings
were up 8 per cent over 1912, while
operating expenses increased about
per cent. There was a reduction
of $l1 ,000, 900 in interest on time and
savings deposits, the average in.
terest rate being .86 per cent COM
pared with IL in 1912. Taxes in
creased 20 per cent, due chiefly to
larger income taxes paid out oil
higher profits, the review said.
