Wheat Export Boost
Doubted by Anderson
Gy the Associated Press

Secretary of Agriculture Ander-
son said last night he does not
believe this country will need to
export more than 800, 000, 900 bushels
of wheat this year.
"Our original plan was to send
about 500, 00o,0 900 bushels abroad
he told reporter, land there hasn't
been much change in that"
The figure would be nearly So
600 900 bushels under the exports of
the wear ended June 80, and more
than Zoe, zoo, 900 below the amount
importing countries have said they
need.
MIR. Anderson said he believed
exports of wheat would be held to
that level because of (a) a short
age of dollar exchange in foreign
countries, (b) a scarcity OF shipping
space and Co an abundance of other
foodstuffs this country can export.
Mr.. Anderson said he was pleased
BY the downward trend taken by
the grain markets within the past
few days because that is what I
have been preaching for some time"
Mr.. Anderson emphasized that in
discussing the grain export out
look he was speaking as only one
member" of the Cabinet food COM
-s1ittee, which also includes Secre-
t,ry of State Marshall and Secre-
Gary OF Commerce Hartman.

Truman Back Home,
Calls Marshall for
Start Of Food Talks
President Is Reported
Still Opposed to Call
For Special Session
By the Associated Press

President Truman returned
from Brazil yesterday and pre-
pared for conferences starting
tomorrow on the pressing prob
lem of feeding and fueling West
ern Europe without knocking the
domestic economy further askew.
The question Of special session
OF Congress was a particularly
tough one as Mr.. Truman found
himself in the middle of conflicting
advice on whether one is needed.
He wants to hear all sides before
deciding, but as of yesterday he
was described as still believing a
session before January is Unnecessary
A mass of official reports on nu-
merous problems that had accumu-
lated during his 20-day absence
from Washington claimed the
Presidents attention on his return
to the White House.
Marshall Due Today.
After 45-minute meeting with
members of his White House staff
each of whom carried in folders
with gold lettering for the atten-
ton of the President" it was an
nounced that he would confer with
Secretary of State Marshall tomor-
row, If not sooner, and probably
receive other individual cabinet
members.
+ Gen. Marshall is coming here to-
day from the United Nations Cen
eral Assembly meeting in New
York. Major policy decisions await
his oral report on the impasse in
Soviet = American relations and
studies by his department and 9TH
ers in Europe's economic plight.
The Cabinet Food Committee,
composed of Gen. Marshall, Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Anderson and

will meet tomorrow and will see
John r. Steelman, assistant to the
President, either then or Tuesday,
This group has been graphing
with the perplexing problem of how
TO snare Americas comparatively
short grain supply with Europe's
needy without aggravating the al
ready high-price level in this coun-
try. Voluntary food conservation,
involving some belt tightening on
the part Of the American people,
has been one method suggested.
Harold E. Stassen, candidate for the
Republican presidential nomina-
ton, was the latest to do so, in an
address at Springfield, Mass, yester-
day. =
Grain Export Cut Talked.

grain shipments might have to be

Resent Attempt TO Put
State Behind Dewey
Rv Gould Lincoln
By Gould Lincoln
Star Stoff Correspondent

RENO, Sept. 20. Senator
Taft of Ohio, addressing a
Republican rally in his honor
tonight, pledged the Republican
Party to a program of reclama-
ton and irrigation, vitality nee
essary to the continued develop
ment of the great States of the
West.
THE Republican Party is the
party of reclamation" Senator Taft
said. THE program of reclamation
and irrigation was instituted by the
Republicans in the days of Theodore
Roosevelt, and the party has sup
ported the program ever since"
The Taft meeting, held in the
Tower Theater, was arranged by
the Nevada Republican organizae
ton and Senator Malone, who was
elected last November. Leading
Republicans from all parts of the
State, some of them travelling more
than 400 miles, poured into Reno
to hear Senator Taft, whom they
regard as candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination, even though
he still Is withholding an announce
ment.
Both Appear to Have Strength.
Senator Taft has strong friends
among the leaders of the. party here.
some of whom expressed consider
able resentment over the attempted
commitment of the State to Gov
Dewey of New York for the presi-
Dental nomination This was made
by some of their colleagues who went
to Salt Lake City to confer With
Gov. Dewey when he attended the
Governors Conference there in
July.
The consensus was that sentiment
among Nevada Republicans has not
crystalized on the presidential noml-
nation-that Gov Dewey, as well as
Senator Taft, has much support.
Furthermore, it was made clear shat
if Gov. Warren of California should
become a real Contender for the
nomination, the Nevada delegates to
the Republican National Cortven-
ton should shift to him in the
twinkling of an eye. Gov. Warren
is immensely popular in all this
section, but more and more talk of
Gen. Eisenhower for President, how
ever, is developing in Reno.
Senator Taft's speeches on his
present Western tour, it was gen.
orally admitted, have helped to in
crease his prestige and popularity
in Nevada. The Nevadans like a
man who speaks out plainly on public
issues.
One of the leaders ventured an off

Taft had helped himself in the West

in the summer had not done so we'll.
