SEATTLE, July 11.-Whether

Generals ONCE and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation will &C

Of Federal Judge Lloyd L. Black
that whispering wire" records

Bumper Harvest Seen
For Sixth Year in
Latest Crop Report
BY the Associoted Press

This country is we'll on the way
today toward it's sixth consecu-
tive bumper harvest.
In fact, the Agriculture Depart
ment in its latest monthly crop
report said the current outlook for
total farm production has seldom
been surpassed.
The report issued yesterday said
conditions prevailing July l indi-
Gated record corn crop, near
record crops Of wheat, oats, pota-
toes and rice, and large crops Of
vegetables and most fruits.
The outlook on grains was par
ticularly gratifying to food OFF,
cial, because supplies have been
largely depleted in meeting foreign
relief demands and in feeding A
near-record livestock population
If the grain crops turn out as now
indicated, the Nation will be in a
position to carry out its commit
ment to send $50, 900 900 bushels of
wheat to shortage areas during the
next II months and still maintain
production of livestock products
meats, milk. eggs and poultry at
levels near those Of the past year.
Entire Production Needed.
The fact that there will be need
for all that can be produced was
emphasized anew by Chester C.
Davis, chairman Of President Tru-
mans Famine Emergency Commit
tee
In statement issued today, Mr..
Davis said the United States will
meet its goal for cereal exports from
the l945 crop. But ne emphasized
that there should be no feeling that
the world food crisis is over. He
said exports must continue on q
large scale at least through Sep
tember 10 hold the famine -preVen-
ton gains already made.
Foreign demands upon this coun-
try after September will depend very
, largely, he said. on harvests in
shortage areas. He added, however.
that exports of grain and other
foods undoubtedly will be required
during the II months beginning Oc-
tober /, although probably not in
the volume OF the past year.
I While the corn crop-tbe kew
material in the production of live
stock products-may be the largest
ever harvested, it is unlikely, off,
! cials said, that supplies will be sum
cient to allow any material increase
in its use in making whisky,
Oilseed Crop Light.
4 The crop outlook was not without
its dark spots. The production of
oilseeos-soybeans, peanuts and
faxSeed-will be below wartime
levels and below demands. Mar
garine, shortening. salad oils and
paints are principal products MADE
from the oilseeds.
! Likewise, the rye and barley crops
may be the smallest since the
droughts of the 30s. These grains.
however, are of relatively minor i'm
portance in relation to the whole
food picture.
On the brighter side was a fore
cast that the domestic sugar crop
may be Is per cent larger than last
years abnormally small crop. This
! increase does not mean. however,
that rationing can be abandoned
this year, The United States de-
pends on imports for about two
thirds of its sugar supply. and world
production still is far short of de-
mands.
! The report said farmers are main
tanning the production Of milk and
eggs at near record levels. Favorable
pastures and ranges are contributing
to the high level of milk production.

enemy entente to the other.
President and Mrs. Truman's pro-
gram for the coming season has
some changes in the sequence of
the festivities. The dinner to the
cabinet, which for many years
opened the season, has been de-
ferred until fourth in line and
after the reception to the judiciary.
In place of the customary dinner
to the Vice President. the President
and Mrs. Truman will entertain in
honor of the President of the
Senate, there being no Vice Presi-
dent at this time. Who the Presi-
dent of the Senate will be when
January % arrives cannot now be

new Senate after the convening of
the Congress in January.
The reception to the Army and

tened United States naval vessels
holds it's annual meeting in Wash
ington. Time was when these
ladies were invited to the Army and
Navy reception at the White House.
But in recent years with enlarged
armed forces as we'll as the enlarged

necessary to arrange a special re-
ception for them. This Mrs. Roose-
welt did, receiving them in the after
noon.
No changes are expected in ar
rangements for the various func-
tions, but the details will not be
completed until the return of Mrs.

as the at-homes of cabinet host
esses and the dinners in honor Of
