"Out of Your Pocket"-and Mine

What are cartels? How do they operate? How
much take are all of average American citizens
putting to make them fatter and fatter? What
effect did they have Americas fight for life during
the early days of World War II?
That's lot of questions-but then there a lot
of cartels which daily and many times daily make in

And since wide publicity has been sought by the

Coy, Montana's trained seals do
not perform to the delight and
the pleasure of the states citi-
zens.
Of course, every trained seal,
being devoid of the ability to
think, must rely upon his trainer
for instructions. Thus, the way
said seal performs depends en-
tirely upon who cracks the whip,
who does the training.
But the Montana variety of

Senate Group May Vote
On Credit curbs Today
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

The Senate Banking Committee
probably will vote today on a bill
proposing a one-year extension OF
Government controls over consumer
credits and loans
Personally I favor it, and some
other Senators favor it, but there
also is some opposition" Acting
Chairman Buck said, refusing to
forecast the committees decision.
The extension has been requested
by President Truman and the Fed
eral Reserve Board.
Mariner s. Eccles, Reserve Board
chairman, told the committee yes
terday that continuance of the war
time credit controls, now operating
under a presidential executive or
der, is needed to try to prevent an
overexpansion Of installment buy
ing of automobiles refrigerators,
stoves. washing machines and other
consumer goods.
Mr.. Eccles said chief opposition
to the extension comes from people
who want to sell credit at high
rates" He said commercial banks
now obtain from to II per cent
interest on such loans for INSTALL
ment buying while small loan com :
panies' get as high as "36 per cent

Failure Of Corn Crop
Still Can Be Ayeried,
u. 5. Experts Believe
sy ne As.ee;o.sd prss,

I +
The Agriculture Department still
hopes for an above-average corn
crop despite widespread spring
floods and delays in planting caused
by wet season.
A department spokesman. COM
menting on sharply advancing corn
prices and private forecasts Of a
corn crop failure, said today 1t Is
too early in the season to make pre-
dictions that are worth anything.
THE outlook is, Of course, not as
favorable as it was last year" he
said. But two weeks of warm, dry
weather could change the prospects
completely"
The department will issue its first
corn-crop forecast on July 10. This
estimate will be based on word from
more than 10000 crop reporters In
various parts of the country.
Averages Are Cited.
The corn crop, the Nations major
food crop, averaged 2.608, 900 900
bushels for the l935-1944 period.
Production last year reached a rec
ord of 3,285, 600 900 bushels. The
smallest crop In recent years was
|, ,445, 600 900 In 1884.
Conditions this year are somewhat
similar to those in June. 1945., At
that time, fears were expressed that
the Nation was due for corn fail
ure. Yet the crop turned out to
be 1880, 900 900 bushels.
Officials expressed the opinion
that recent price advances in the
cash and futures commodity mar
kets tended more to reflect the
shortage of corn supplies in the Ma
tion's grain markets than feeling
of concern over this years crop.
They said little corn is moving
off farms to market because (a)
farmers are too busy with other
work to haul grain and {b) they
want to hold on to present supplies
for possible future livestock feeding
purposes until they get better idea
how this years crop will turn out
Market Supplies Small.
With market supplies small, grain
traders as well as grain professors
find 1t necessary to bid up prices
in order to fulfill current contracts.
Officials said there is an apparent
tendency on the part OF some traders
and private forecasters to overlook
the fact that even though this years
crop is considerably smaller, the
country could still have as much
corn for domestic use, including
livestock feeding, as will be used
from last years crop.
They explained that more than
100, ,000, 900 bushels In exports could
be saved. Large quantities of corn
have been shipped overseas during
the past several months to replace
wheat Many of the countries re-
ceiving corn preferred wheat.
Shipments to Be Less.
Now that the years wheat crop
will be the largest of record, there
will be less demand for corn and
less need to ship corn.
They explained further that 1916
crop reserves on hand when this
years crop is harvested will be about
$50, 600, 900 bushels compared with
about 10000 bushels q year
earlier.
Thus by cutting out exports and
by taking into account the larger
reserve, the crop could be cut nearly
SOC, 100000 bushels below last year
and still leave about as much corn
for domestic use as this season.
