felt confident Russia would come
to an agreement with Great

One spokesman for the La

fmeIts, word was received from
Russia that the leader of the
Commiform, which is variant
of the Commitern, had asserted
that Russia would strive to upset
the working of the Marshall
Plan in western Europe.
Conservatives maintained that
the Laborites, who had visited
Stain, were inclined to show up
Russia in a favorable light. One
conservative stated that, in con-

he had produced, and that,
should any such attempt be

Meat Prices

Rapid, and in some cases unex-
planned, advances in the retail
prices of meat have been reported
from many sections of the country.
Some of the reasons offered for
the price jumps were: Seasonal in
fuences, higher feed costs, heavy
foreign purchases. In a number of
instances, however, packers admit
ted that they were puzzled over the
sharp increase in retail prices.
Steak, which sold for 70 to 80
cents a pound six months ago, was
being listed as high as SIPS in
Scranton, Pa, and a dollar in New
York. In Chicago, retail meat prices
experienced a general increase Of
10 cents or more on popular and
scarce cuts in mid-June.
There was one bright prediction,
however: When the autumn beef
run begins, prices are expected to
drop as much as Is per cent.

EAYORABLE FORECAST
Wheat Crop To Hit New Peak

Observation-Disclosures the wet,
cold spring, a record-shattering
wheat crop Of 1,409, 800, 900 bushels
is indicated this year, according to
the department Of agriculture fore
cast based on conditions as of June
/. The inclement weather, partic-
ularly in May, was unfavorable for
planting of some feed grains but
wheat, the forecast pointed out.
The prospective wheat crop, larg-
est on record, compares with 1,275,-
000, 900 bushels forecast a month ago
and 1,155, IT'S, 900 bushels harvested
last year, a record up to that time.
The 10-year average production is
s43, 1892, 900 bushels.
The government forecast showed
the winter wheat prospect to be
1908, OIL 900 bushels and 316, ,822,-
600 bushels for spring wheat.
Arizona sun., 1947-06-27

The wet spring was responsible
for a reduced acreage of oats, the
report said, and crop of only l, ,247,-
$4,000 bushels is in prospect. This
compares with 1,509, 1867, 900 bushels
harvested last year.
No estimate was made Of the corn
crop as It is too early in the season
fo- reasonable degree of accuracy,
but the report said that the abnor-
mally cool, wet weather of May
caused 20 to Is per cent Of the corn
acreage to remain implanted on
June /, which is rather late.
An unequalled winter wheat crop
is in prospect for all Of the Great
Plains area, and Texas, Oklahoma.

NEWS REVIEW
IT'S OVER:
Sugar Is Back

For the first time since April %.
1912, Americans, and especially
housewives, could 60 shopping with
out ration coupons as the govern
ment called a halt to the rationing
of sugar for households. restaurants
and hotels.
Secretary Of Agriculture Clinton
Anderson announced the move, ex-
planning that it was made possible
by the appearance Of larger sup
plies of sugar than previously had
been thought available.
Price controls on sugar, as well
as rationing of the product for in
dustrial use will continue, however.
All sugar controls are scheduled to
expire October 81 unless congress
dictates otherwise.
Three reasons which acted to
bring about an end to sugar ration
ing were:
1. Allotment by the Interna-
tional Emergency food council
to the United States of $4,000
tons of sugar from Cuba in ad-
ditiOn to that which was allotted
earlier in the year.
2. Presence of still more sur
plus sugar in Cuba, which will
help cut down demands from
other parts of the world.
8. About 200, 900 tons of Java
nese sugar now will be offered
to world users.
