Chinese Red Capture
OF Mines Reported
By the Associated Press

PEIPING, Sept. o. - Chinese
newspapers reported today that the
government was using planes to help
hold the Southwest Manchurian
railway town of Chinhsi against bit
ter Communist assaults but that the
Communists had captured the big
government molybdenum mines Is
miles to the north.
Chinhsi, IS miles northeast of the
Great Wall and six miles west of
the militarily important government
port OF Hulutao, has been under
Communist assault several days.
South of the wall the Communists
continued raids interrupting traffic
between Tientsin and Shanhaikwan.
Tlentsin residents prepared for
cold winter, as much of their coal
comes from the affected area.
Premier Chang Chun, leaving Pei
ping after short inspection trip in
Manchuria, told foreign correspond
ents the Manchurian situation soon
would undergo a marked change
for the better" and the governments
cleanup campaign on the Shantung
peninsula would end shortly.
Latest reports from Shantung,
however, said a hot battle still was
in progress for Tsisia (Chihsia), i,
which has changed hands several
times. Thirty-five miles southwest
of Chefoo, it is called the gateway"
to that Communist port.
Government air forces also were
reported still bombing Lungkow,
port so miles west of Chefoo. Earlier
progovernment accounts said Ma
tional troops had captured it.

men took over the top post which
he has held now for over year.
Mr.. hickman, who lives in subur-
ban Wellesley Hills, outside Boston,
with his wife and three sons, has a
reputation for early rising and hard
work. His associates say he plans
mis- work we'll, a trait that will come
in handy during the impending food
saving campaign.
When Mr.. Luckman was named to
the job last Thursday-he said the
first he had heard about it was the
day before-he made it quite clear
no business interest of his own
would stand in the way of doing the
job. He said he expects to devote
most of his time the rest of this
year to the job.
His Company May Suffer.
Reminded that Lever Brothers
uses large quantities of fats-one of
the items badly needed abroad-Mr.
Luckman said he expected his COM
pany would be among the first to
suffer If business is called on to
curtail production in some lines. He
added:
IF it becomes necessary, and it
may very we'll be, that business must
suffer that the people may not,
would have no hesitation in de-
manding that this come about"
Mr.. Luckman has reputation for
being outspoken. In November, 1916,
he made rather sensational speech
to marketing business group in
Chicago upbraiding American busi-
ness for having fought social legis-
lation and thereby becoming "iden-
titled in the public mind as opposed
to everything that spells greater Sc
curity, wellbeing or peace of mind
for the little guy" He recommended
a forward looking approach, saying
he refused ito sell short" the Ameri-
can working man.
Perhaps this faith in the average
American will waver before Mr..
Luckman has finished his duties as
head of the Citizens Food Commits
tee, but It's a good guess that this
super-salesman already has a note
book full of ideas on how to make
the public want the most important
product" in his selling career.

to last years, provided excessively
heavy feeding of wheat to livestock
can be prevented" Even a substan-
tial export program for wheat
would not compel disastrous liqui-
dation of livestock"
8. Clearly, the export of 500,000,-
900 bushels of wheat would impose
no grave hardship on the American
people as whole if its effects were
measured in physical terms" The
committee would have mo hesita-
ton in recommending export of at
least that much if it were not for
the economic problem involved,
especially the relation to high do
mestir food prices.
The committee pointed out that if
current high prices continue for
eggs, poultry, dairy products and
meat, and if corn prices remain high
in relation to wheat, the amount
of wheat fed to livestock may ex-
ceed 400,000,000 bushels, enough to
WlcSh pldllo W CAPOlt ooo,uoo,o wv
bushels from the total available sup
ply (this years production plus
carry-over and less seed grain do
mestic consumption and industrial
use) of 887, 7,000,0 bushels.
On Horns Of Dilemma.
Because of this squeeze on the
wheat supply, the committee told
the President the critical decisions
concern the procurement of wheat
for export" and that therefore "a
policy decision needs to be made as
to which horn of the dilemma to
seize, whether it is better policy to
make sure of getting the wheat at
the risk of pushing wheat prices
higher through more aggressive buy
ing, or to buy wheat cautiously, on
market breaks, at the risk of OBJ
tanning for export considerably less
than will be needed to meet mini
mum requirements in overseas areas
of special Importance to the United
States"

POLAND - Grain received from
Russia is being delivered to Upper
and Lower Silesia. Russia has de-
liyered a third of promised 300, ,000
tons Of grains. The government
hopes to buy an additional 100000
tons from the United States and
Canada.
ROMANIA-A bright exception in
Europe, this country had it's best
crop in 40 years and expects to he
able to export nearly 100000 tons
OF corn. Corn production was esti-
mated at 6.500,0O0 tons, compared
with 1850 600 tons last year. Wheat
production Is about the same, but
sugar and potatoes showed markG 4
increase. Disease, particularly ma
laria and typhus, is national prob
lem, requiring 1900 tons of drugs to
combat epidemics.
YUGOSLAVIA-A good corn crop
gives Yugoslavia an opportunity to
build up its tagging livestock indus
try. Wheat, barley and rye produc-
ton is markedly better than last
year, but there are no indications
OF how much surplus would be avail
able for export. Dried fruits, mar
malade, and canned fish are being
exported, Holland, Switzerland and
Sweden being among the pur-
chaSerS. The fuel supply has i'm
proved.
BULGARIA-The country's Short
age on wheat and rye was estimated
at $4,000 tons because of spring
frosts and summer drought. But
a bright aspect was greater pro-
duction of rice, cheese and sun
flower seeds. Fruit crops were poor
The country will have no food to
export and Russia has been asked
for loan There are an estimated
100000 active cases of tuberculosis
GREECE-About 100000 tons of
cereals will be needed by Greece this
year, and domestic production is
about $4,000 tons. Drought cut
production by 249,000 tons. Greece
also needs meat, fish, dairy products,
fats, sugar, and vegetables from
abroad. 1t can export some olive oil
and fruits. Refugees present a
health problem. A typhus epidemic
this winter is feared.
SWITZERLAND - A h ou g h
obliged normally to import more
than half of her food and fodder,
Switzerland is fairly well off because
of the soundneSs of her currency
Drought has necesSitated the
slaughter of many cattle, with the
result that shortages of milk and
butter are expected. Low water in
mountain streams cut the produc-
ton of electricity. The housing
shortage continues, and health serv-
ices were concerned over the prev
alence of tuberculosis.
SPAIN-Figures are government
secret, but all reports indicated the
wheat crop is substantially below
that of 1947 Fruit, vegetable and
rice crops were good Fruit, oil and
wine are expected to be available
for export.
PORTUGAL-Large imports of
flour, largely from the United States,
have enabled Portugal to maintain
a daily ration of $50 grams of bread.
Imports from the Azores and Ar
gentina have sustained heat sup
plies. Crops, with the exception
of grapes and rice. have been con-
siderably below normal, and large
quantities of wheat will have to be
imported. Portuguese exporters of
wine and pineapples are looking for
customers.
