Grain Market Critics
Denounced by Head Of
Chicago Trade Board
By the Associoted Press

CHICAGO. Dec. 3l.-J. o. Nc
Clintock. president of the Chicago
Board of Trade. yesterday charged
attacks on the Nations commodity
exchanges were actually attacks
upon the Nations economic system.
In year-end statement, the
exchange head asserted such attacks
we're based on the desire of certain
people in our political circles to dis
pose of the economic principles
which created our country and SUBJ
stitute. instead the philosophy and
edicts Of master -minding bureau
Gratis"
Mr.. McClintock said Government
control OF the marketing system
could have no effect other than to
break down the present mechanism
that gives the producer the highest
possible price at the lowest possible
cost to the consumer.
Says Public Will Suffer.
Current attacks on the commod-
ity exchanges by certain admins
tration circles are literally attacks,
therefore, on the American economy
as whole"
He added that the public will be
the principal sufferer" if such
attacks should continue.
president Truman and At
torney General Clark have sharp
ly criticized gambling" on COM
modify exchanges. Agriculture
Secretary Anderson has asked
Congress for power to regulate
margins down payments - in
futures dealings on the ex-
changes
Stating that the United States is
the only country in the world having
a competitive system OF distributing
and determining prices Of foods, Mr..
McClintock said. That is probably
the most important point to re-
member in connection with the at
tacks OIL the commodity exchanges,
1t is no accident, likewise, that we
are the only country which can
supply the needed food to the url-
fortunate peoples of other lands in
any degree of abundance"
Attacks Government Farce"
Mr. McClintock said advocates Of
blighting governmental controls over
futures markets are unwittingly en-
couraging a situation where violent
price fluctuations are likely to re-
appear. F." The Nation cannot
afford to dispense or weaken futures
markets merely because of lack Of
proper understanding of the services
they perform.
Discussing high prices in relation
to exports in 1947, Mr. McClintock
said: If the need for food abroad
was as urgent as it appeared, then
why were the people of this country
not told their responsibility in
supplying this food would neces-
state some sacrifice on their part
by having to pay more for the food
they consume?
Such action would have made
conservation of food a matter OF
self-interest and resulted in more
reality than has the dramatic farce
presented by Government authori-
ties, which was intended to conceal
the actual cause of high prices"

Homer G. Nordling, who is as wellknown in Juneau and vicinity as the company he has been with for more than 30 years, has an- nounced his resignation as Chief Electrical Engineer of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company, and his acceptance of a similar position with the Civil Aeronautics Admin istration
 It is not entirely without regret that he leaves the A. J., Nordling said, adding that he has always en- joyed the most pleasant association there with his employers and fellow workers. He expects to be able to maintain close contact with his friends here after he takes over his new duties with the CAA, as the Nordlings will continue to maintain the family home here.
 Anchorage will be his headquart- CTS, but the new job will entail a good deal of travelling, making in- spection trips at various fields un- der the supervision of CAA, and will no doubt give him the oppor- tunity to be back in Juneau rather frequently.
