81, ,00o, ,O0o, 900 last year. Both figures
include Government subsidy pay
ments to farmers.
The department noted that prices
received by farmers averaged about
80 per cent higher than q year ago
but returns to farmers have not
been this much higher because sub
sides are smaller this year.
Senators Young. Republican, OF
North Dakota and Eastland, Demo
crat, of Mississippi declared that
farmers are being unfairly charged
with responsibility for high prices
Senator Young started by saying
the press of this Nation and the
radio commentators who are giving
so much adverse publicity to farm
prices might do well to investigate
the tremendous spread between the
price the farmer is actually receiv-
ing and that which the consume,
pays"
. A farmer receives only AZ cents
for the wheat that goes into q IL
cent loaf of bread, Senator Young
said.
N. A. M. Statement AssaiIed.
Midwest farmers receive q TOP
price of IS cents q dozen for eggs
while a survey of Washington stores
snow prices to consumers Of up te
SO cents dozen, he added.
Senator Eastland put in that he
was amazed" at what he said was
a statement by the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers that the
reason for high food prices is
Federal support of farm prices.
Manufacturers had lot to dc
with taking OPA off and now they
indict farmers for high prices" Sen
ator Eastland said.
Apparently there Is conspiracy
on by industry to lead the people to
believe that farmers are responsible
for hiQh DricpS"

or barter it for goods otherwise un-
obtainable.
"As of February l, deliveries Of
indigenous produce by farmers were
still below the amounts planned
under the delivery program, pro-
posed by German officials and ap-
proved by United States Military
Government" it continued. "Po-
tato deliveries were nearly 0,0o0
metric tons behind schedule. De-
liveries Of bread grains were about
10 per cent and barley nearly 80
per cent below planned amounts.
Less than halfs Of the oats and oil
seeds destined for nonfarm con-
sumers had actually been brought
to market
The report added that many Ger
man officials and most farmers had
offered strong opposition" to re-
ducing their livestock by 10 per cent
In order to make more grains avail
able for human consumption.
Successful execution of the pro-
gram will require vigorous efforts
on the part of military government
and German administrative agen-
cies," it stated.
City Health Deteriorates.
During the past year, the report
lsaid, the normal consumer ration in
the American zone has ranged from
1,180 to 1850 calories daily. But in
only of the 81 months since We
Iday has the ration been 1850
calories.
"As a result of the insufficient
Icalories and lack of essential nutri-
Ients such as proteins and calcium
1.-THE physical condition of the urban
population has deteriorated," the
report said.
THE critical food position OF the
United States zone is a direct result
lof the fact that the population de-
pendent upon its agricultural re.
Isources has increased by more thar
80 per cent since 1889, while pro-
Iduction of principal food crops has
decreased by nearly 40 per cent"
The solution Gen. Clay de-
clared, ito Germany's food problem
and liquidation of its resultant
financial burden on other countries
is to import the food and production
requisites necessary to permit q de-
gree OF economic recovery under
which industrial exports can pay TO,

POLICE WHITEWASHED IN OHIO POSSE PROBE

Cincinnati, Ohio "A casual remark by a police officer in Cincinnati, Ohio, was respons- ible for assembling a posse of 75 to 100 men in that town to hunt down a suspect in an at- tempted rape case, City Man ager Wilbur R. Kellogg said, but his report on the incident to the city council completely exonerated the city administra- ton.
 The report, requested by the Cincinnati branch NAACP, said a Madisonville home had been burglarized and a 45-year-old wife criminally attacked. Short ly afterward, another home in the neighborhood was robbed by a Negro answering to the same description. A group of armed men, numbering 75 to 100, gathered at the scene to join the manhunt.
 But other factors were un- earthed by investigation made by Ernest J. Waits of the Com mittee on Democratic Action, Harold J. Pierson of the West End Civic League, Arnold B. Walker of the Division of Ne gro Welfare, and Harold D. Shell of the Cincinnati branch NAACP. This group inter. viewed the manager of radio station WCPO over which a call for armed volunteers was to be broadcast. The manager said the call had gone out over WCPO in response to a request from It. Conner of the Sixth District
 The group talked to City Manager Kellogg who gave them the police version of the affair. The police say that a radio newscaster asked It. Con-

nor whether help was needed and Ut. Conner said it was. MT. Kellogg refused to issue a public statement to the effect that the police had not request ed civilian help and would not tolerate it in the future. He said such a statement would most likely result in a riot on Negroes.
 The City Council, which re- quested the City Manager to report on the situation after receiving a letter from the Cin- cinnati branch NAACP, had no comment to make on the report.
