in a statement.
Luckman estimated that TO-
900 900 to 90 900 900 bushels Of
grain, mostly corn, would be saw
ed by the shutdown. He called
on members of the industry to
limit their grain consumption
in the period before the shut
down starts, so that the saving
of grain twill not be impaired
by excessive operations in the next
II days.
Government agencies, head
ed, will take immediate steps
to acquire distillers' stocks OF
grain on hand and on order ir
accordance with the distlllers'
pledge"
Will Sell Stocks
The whiskey makers have
agreed to sell to the government
stocks on hand and on contract
estimated at 100000 bushels.
They also acceded, the food COM
mittee chairman said, to the re-
quest to limit production in the
next IL days.
Stocks of whiskey already on
hand are reported so large that
consumers will feel no effects Oh

The margin of 1876 votes held
by the Peoples Bloc was not
sufficient to insure victory, and
there were enough ballots tc
be counted in the 127 missing
precincts to keep it a neck-and-
neck race.
The showing by the Christian
Democrats, a moderate Catholic
party whose premier heads q
government in which the ex.
IRENE left has no representa-
ton, constituted a big step for
ward in political strength.
The Peoples Bloc, made ur
of Communists, the pro-Commu-
mist Socialists of Pietro Nennl
and two minor Leftist parties,
had waged a vigorous campaign
to offset their recent failure in
the Constituent Assembly to Gust
the De Gasperi Government.
Last November the Christian
Democrats had received 104, 627
votes and got only II seats in
the council. The Peoples Bloc
had won 1910, 038 votes and the
Qualunquists 1O6, 780.
