WHEAT STOCKS
HIT Low POINT
Rationing OF Bread In Ma
ton Considered Unlike
ly By Anderson

WASHINGTON, April 1o-WD-
The government disclosed Wednes-
day night that stocks OF wheat on
farms, the best immediate source
for hungry peoples abroad, are
at dangerously low levels but that
a record wheat crop is expected
to be harvested this year.

crop reporting board estimated
that farm stocks on April totalled

supply for that date since ls4l'

From a long-range view. how
ever, the crop board predicted a
winter wheat crop of 800, 636, IVY
bushels. an increase of 7,459,ooo
bushels over last years bumper
harvest. Coupled with an estlma1-

Secretary of Agriculture Clinton

his plan to ration flour to bakers
and grocers still desirable ne
was not certain that it would prove
workable. The proposal-1nrtenoeo
to reduce wheat consumption by

it triunphed so to rs in beating
down an amendment by Senator
Buck (R.-Del.) which would have
reduced the subsidy fund to $780,
600, 900.
Beats Direct Subsidies
By an even heavier majority
"a to lit crushed an effort by
Senator Wherry (R. Neb.) to give
veterans direct subsidies of per
cent on the purchase of old or
new homes, with no veteran to get
more than $500. Wherry proposed
that as a substitute for the build
ing material subsidies, which the
administration prefers to call
premium payments"
In a final furry before the bill
passed, Senator Gordon |R.-Ore.)
tried unsuccessfully to change the
title of the bill, cutting out all
reference to veterans emergen-
cy" legislation. Gordon commended
the bill offered no special aid to
veterans other than priority to
buy new homes, but the Senate
couldn't see it his way. The vote
was As to 81.
Defeat of the provision for price
ceilings on existing houses came
as surprise, since only small
amount of opposition to it had
been heard since the bill cleared
the banking committee. The hous-
ing expediter will have power to
set ceilings on new houses under
the Senate bill, but the administra-
ton apparently will have to give
up it's desire for authority to make
the first resale price OF existing
houses and building lots the cell
ing price during the emergency.

Because these questions and

Reasons for Decline
Reasons for the expected decline
were cited as: wen-supp1ied Ameri-

under present economic conditions;
and a paring-town of exporta-

under the new regulations adopted

Another means of cushioning the
expected price drop, it was declar-
ed, would be approval of legisla-

in the price parity plan.
"Such a step," declared Register,
would raise the parity from ap-
proximately $50 to around $38."
