Seen Squirting Dairy,
Meat Output in 1947

The Nations grain harvest this
year promises to be the best on rec
ord, opening the way for increased
production of meat animals, dairy
products, poultry and eggs in 1s47.
This was the forecast Of experts
in the Agriculture Department,
which yesterday told of record
breaking crops this fall of many food
and livestock feed commodities.
The report said total production
of all crops will be as per cent above
the previous record Of 1912 and 26.4
per cent above the 1923-s2 level.
Livestock Feed to Increase.
Livestock feed grains. led by q
record corn crop of 1914, ,0OO, 900
bushels, will be per cent larger
than the 1912 peak.
This should encourage feeding OF
animals to heavier weights and will
mean more and choicer meat cuts
after midyear, experts believe.
The production Of food grains
wheat. rye and rice-likewise Is the
largest In history. A record wheat
crop of 1885, AZ. 900 bushels COM
pares with the 1854 average crop
of 843, ,692 900 bushels.
Other Crops Are Up.
Other crops being harvested in q
record volume include potatoes, to-
bacco, peaches, pears. plums and
truck, crops. Those of near-record
proportions include oats. rice, pea
nuts, grapes, cherries and sugar cane.

Bar Group 10 Urge
Voiding Of Contracts
Violating Shark Law

A Bar Association committee will
ask District Court to void contracts

auto loans, will be filed shortly in

The committee, which has studied

from 30 to more than 100 per cent
are being charged generally. The
court test will be based on United

Turks Believed Likely
To Consent 10 Soviet
Talks on DardaneIIes
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

ISTANBUL, Oct. 10 Delayed -
Turkey, though expected to reject
renewed Russian demands for joint
defense of the Dardanelles. seemed
likely today to consent to Turkish
Russian talks on the issue as q
prelude to a conference with other
interested nations.
Informed sources said they looked
for Turkey to enter into such BIZ
lateral talks provided she was sure
of continued United States and
British support Of her refusal tc
share defense of the straits with
the Soviet Union and provided they
were made preliminary to a multi
government conference for revision
of the 1896 Montreux convention
regarding the Dardanelles.
Soviet Asked Conference.
Thus she would keep open the
door which the Russians pushed
ajar in their latest Dardanelles note
with this conciliatory sentence:
And as regards a conference on
the subject of the regime of the
straits, the Soviet government is o1
the opinion that convocation OF this
conference must be preceded by as
large discussion as possible of this
question by means of direct con-
versations between the govern
ments"
In her first note on the subject in
August. which was rejected by Tur-
key, the Soviet Union did not men,
ton any formal conference to deal
with the straits, the strategic link
between the Black Sea, bordering
Russia and the Mediterranean.
In the opinion of observers ir
touch with the situation, any direct
conversations are likely to be helc
in Ankara after the return of Soviet
Ambassador Serguei Vinogradov

the last six years, left last summer

He told local leaders of the oppo.

This was interpreted as an effor
to cement strong internal unity il

A 20 percent increase in pensions, enacted by the last Congress will be reflected in the checks received during the next few days by bene- ficiaries, according to Ernest Lin coln, manager of the Alaska Re gional Office of the Veterans Ad- ministraticn.
 The increase became effective September l. All adjustments in the Alaska area were completed on the September 30 payroll. Print ed slips explaining about the in crease were not received in time by regional disbursing officers in Seattle Portland, Boise, Helena and Juneau to enclose them with the checks.
 If any beneficiary failed to re- ceive the increase, there is no req son for him to make inquiry con- corning it. Lincoln said "Ad- justments will be made as soon as possible and will be retroactive to September l."
 The new law increased pensions for veterans of both World Wars and their dependents, and author ized full pensions or compensations to veterans who are hospitalized or dcmicied in VA institutions.
