Last year this country did export
just over a third-4o0 900 900 bushels

715,000 bushels of wheat-except
for 1920 it was the only year since
1915 that exports accounted for .
third of the crop, according to Ag-
riculture Department figures.
In three of the last 13 years, the
United States actually imported
more grain than it exported. These
were the drought years of 1934-1936.
when imports exceeded exports by
about 5000 900 bushels. During the
late '30s and early '40s exports aver
aged less than 10 per cent of the
crop. -.

The New York Republican was
joined by the other two members

tending that the Government is
contributing to high housing costs
by "condoning inflationary labor

show that the Government itself is
the worst restrictive element We
have to contend with" Mr.. Gwinn
declared during the testimony of
Raymond M. Foley, administrator
Of the new Housing and Home

The Nations brewers set out
today to save more than $4,000
bushels of grain a month for
export to Europe without Great
ing a beer and ale shortage in
this country.
They hope to be able to meet that
goal by the use of substitutes for
corn, wheat and other grains which
the Citizens Food Committee is
trying to conserve.
Top representatives of the brew.
ing industry have agreed to curtaIl
their corn consumption Is per cent
for three months starting November
l. and to use no wheat, table grades
Of rice or edible barley and to stop
buying sorghum grains during that
period.
A spokesman for the United

the agreement reached last night

Must Find Substitutes,
That will hinge, he said, on the
success of individual brewers In
finding supplies of such grain sub
stltutes as potatoes and cassava, a
South American plant rich in
starch.
Mr.. Luckman put it this way:
The program will not result In
a beer shortage and is not expected
to cause any unemployment"
meanwhile. Attorney General
Clark said he expects to comment
soon on the Justice Department in
vestigation of grain speculation.

Both the brewers and the food
conservation chairman were OBJ

agreement, which came after several
days of talks, the last one lasting

day the problem of what can be
done by the baking industry, whose
officials have been comforting with
him daily. Aides said he expects
to announce program under which
the bakers will conserve 100000
bushels a month.
Estimates Increased.
The agreement with the brewers
raised Mr.. Luckman's estimates of
the savings to be effected in bever-
age alcohol industries to at least
100000 bushels and possibly as
much as 100000. The over all
goal of the waste less" food pro-

By George Kennedy

The long awaited Citizens
Advisory Board in the establish
ment of alcoholic clinics in
Washington under the Hebert
bill was appointed today by the
Commissioners.
The appointments are: Donald
Clemmer, director of the District
Department of Corrections; DR..
Winfred Overholser, superintendent
of St. Elizabeths Hospital; Munic-
ipal Court Judge Walter J. Casey,
chairman of the Washington Com
mittee for Educati on Alcoholism;
Mrs. George c. Thorpe, a member
of the Advisory Board of the same
organization; the Rev. Seth R.
Brooks of the Universalist National
Memorial Church, and E. Goring
Bliss, assistant general manager of
the Chesapeake g. Potomac Tele-
phone Co.
The Hebert bill provides that "the
Commissioners shall appoint COM
mittee, to be composed of six out
standing residents of the District of
Columbia, to advise and consult
with the Commissioners and to as
sist them in carrying out the pro-
visions of this act. The members
of the committee shall serve with
out compensation and shall serve
for period of one year and until
their successors are appointed"
The bill authorizes the courts "to
take judicial notice of the fact that
a chronic alcoholic is a sick person
in need of proper medical, institu-
tional, advisory and rehabilitative
treatment"
1t increases the fees on licenses
for the sale of alcoholic beverages
in the District by 10 per cent and
turns the money over to the clinics
to be established. 1t is estimated
that this will realize $4,000 a year
to initiate program of rehabilita-
ton.
The Hebert bill was introduced by
Representative Hebert, Democrat,
OF Louisiana. after a committee
under his Craftsmanship had made
a study of District penal institutions
after the Jail breaks of last year. It
was supported by The Star, which
gave it the spotlight of news and
