a bit of recent history as a back
ground to his selection.
DR.. Ze Barney Phillips was chap
lain of the senate for Is years-from
1927 to 1912 When ne died, many
senators had favorite candidates
for his job. They "auditioned"
them, just like radio announcers-
although the ministers didn't know
they were being auditioned, and no
senator would admit such thing.
From among the candidates, DR..
Frederick Brown Harris, Methodist,
emerged victorious, gossips say, be-
cause he delivered the shortest
prayer. Later on Dr. Harris
prayers became longer. common
phenomenon among senate chap
lains according to some Of the old

add is that in the speech-makingest

FEED PRICES:
To Stay Up

Prospects for the 1947 feed crops
will be an important influence on
feed prices, according to a depart
ment of agriculture report.
The very strong foreign demand
for grain is expected to continue to
support prices through 1947 and into
1913; although if production Of feed
is as large as in recent years, feed
prices probably will decline, at
least seasonally, in the last half Of
1947.
Corn prices this summer, the re-
port predicted, will average higher
than the June, 1946, ceilings, but
lower than in the summer of 1916
after price controls lapsed.
The departments survey went on
to reveal that reports in early May

REVIEW
NEWS REVIEW
Shipping Crisis Impends;
Predict High Feed Prices

Fears of minor crisis in railway
shipping in mid-July have been ex-
pressed by federal transportation
experts in view of an apparent
showdown in freight car construc-
ton.
Contributing factors are mount
ing industrial production coupled
with increasingly heavy wheat ex-
port movements, and officials pre-
dict that the minor crisis" could
swiftly develop into major trans
portation block unless steps are
taken to ease the traffic showdown
or prevent it from occurring.
With fate Of the now financially
embarrassed Office of Defense
Transportation still undecided, the
Interstate Commerce commission
has been requested to assume full
responsibility for continuing orders
requiring full loading of boxcars in
the event that congress does not ex-
tend the life of ODT beyond it's June
80 expiration date.
Meantime, ODT has sent investi-
gators to freight car building COM
panies to probe reports that allo-
Gated steel tonnages have not gone
entirely into the 10,O00-a-month car
construction program.
Reports for the first half of May
indicated that only 1,751 freight
cars were built, 81 short of the num-
Der constructed during the corre-
spending period in April.
Explanation offered by the car
builders is that inadequate steel
supplies and strikes within the in
dustry have been responsible for
the grave decline in freight car con-
struction. That view. however, is
discounted by federal officials who
point out that the government
forced the steel industry to provide
the necessary 100000 tons Of steel
for the 0,000-a-month goal.
