New Order Expected
Eliminating Wheat in
Mixed Poultry Feed
BY the Associated Press

Drastic Government steps may be
taken soon to force a sharp cut in
poultry flocks as one means of help
ing feed hungry people abroad.
One of the reasons the United
States suddenly discovered its stocks
of wheat are too low to keep up
present domestic consumption and
still meet export commitments, is
that large amounts of the grain have
been diverted into poultry feeds.
To stop such feeding of wheat, the
Agriculture Department may issue
an order forbidding it's use in the
manufacture of mixed chicken feeds.
May Limit Chick Output.
Such an order is being consid-
cred in connection with President
Humans wheat conservation direc-
tive last week At that time, the
Chief Executive ordered action by
Government agencies to place
Americans on dark flour and bread,
to prohibit the use of wheat in max
ing beer and whisky and to discour-
age its use as a livestock feed.
In addition to the possible poul-
try feed order, the Agriculture De-
partment also is considering steps
to limit the commercial output. of
baby chicks.
With poultry f1ocks larger than
Government estimates of need, the
department late last year urged
farmers to reduce flocks by at least
Is per cent by January / by culling.
1t also recommended that poultry
men raise II per cent fewer chick
ems and 10 per cent fewer turkeys
this year.
Preliminary surveys indicate, Of
ficials say, that poultry flocks were
not reduced by the amount urged.
Smaller FIocks to Result.
Some officials contend, however,
the scarcity of feed itself will force
poultrymen to make reductions in
f1ocks and in new poultry production
and Government order restricting
commercial hatchery operations is
unnecessary.
Even if poultry flocks are reduced
in line with Government recon-
mendations, there should be an
abundant supply of eggs during the
late winter, spring and early sum-
mer. These are the seasons of peak
egg production.
On the other hand, egg supplies
would be less plentiful next fall and
winter.

defendant bought new coat and
hat in February while living at her
house.
Connors himself was recalled to
the stand briefly to identify seven
samples of his handwriting. He
said all seven were his.
Mrs. Jacobs lived at II Elliott ave-
nue., Yonkers, across the street from
the home of Nan Ward, the waitress
for whom Connors bought fur coat
for $477 the day after the murders;
not in the same house as previously
reported. The Elliott avenue ad-
dresses have been located as two and
a half blocks from the house in
which Connors' wife and four chill
dren were living.
Becomes Confused.
Mrs. Jacobs was called to refute
Connors' denial that he had asked
her to call Pennsylvania Station to
make reservations to Washington on
the morning of the murder. She be-
came so confused on the stand that
Justice David A. Pine at one time
threatened to throw her testimony
out. Mr.. Murray, however, asked
that it be retained.
Mrs. Jacobs daughter, Dorothy
Jacobs, and her mother, Mrs. jose
phine Kalzinski, were awaiting call
as rebuttal witnesses on the same
point.
Defense Attorney James j. Laugh
lin, who rested the defense case yes
terday afternoon, also may call re-
buttal witnesses before the opposing
attorneys sum up the evidence and
Justice Pine charges the jury.
Mrs. Jacobs became confused the
minute she took the stand. Justice
Pine warned her that if she had
been knowingly harboring Connors
from arrest her testimony could be
used against her and she could re-
fuse to answer any questions on the
grounds that she might incriminate
herself.
Justice Pine asked j. Austin
Latimer, an attorney watching the
proceedings, to advise Mrs. Jacobs

Laughlin Objects.
Mr.. Laughlin objected and the
latter part of the answer was
stricken.
Only witness called by the defense
to support Connors' alibi that he
was at the fights at Madison Square
Garden, New York, on the night of
the murders, was his father, John
Coilnors, 60, retired bricklayer now
living on his unemployment insur-
ance.
Mr.. Connors said he lived with his
son and the latter's wife and four
children and that when he (Mr,
Connors, sr) came home after mid
might on the night Of February q.
his son had arrived before him and
told him he had made "a hit on
the fights"

Rodney, in Wilmington, Del, on an
automobile trip to Washington sew
