that for 1947 the indicated crop is
going to be 10 billion bushels.
This big wheat harvest is the
best assurance the country could
have that prices are going 10
come down, says Anderson. A.
proof that prices are going tc
come down, he points to the ta
lures market. While Chicago
wheat is now selling at about $3.50
futures range from $2.11 10 S222
What applies to wheat also ap
plies to corn, hogs, and other farm
crops. How far the farm price lev.
ell will come down this fall, no one
can or will predict. But it's CON,
ing down.
Anderson argues that the effect
of government buying for foreigr
relief accounts has also been to
hold down prices. If the govern
ment did not do all the buying for
relief and overseas Army Of Occu
patton accounts, these foreign buy
ers would come into the U. S
market on a competitive basis
and bid up prices. This is beSi
understood by noting that ii
March, Argentine wheat sold toI
as high as $685. a bushel, while
U. S. wheat barely reached So a
bushel.
Today most farm prices are Ell
above the support level, Only
cost of living" food on which the
government is paying supper
prices is potatoes.
The read danger in this situation
comes from the fact that the
prices farmers pay for the things
they buy are remaining hign' Il
the prices farmers pay stay up
while the prices farmers get 60
down, the S0-per-cent-of-parl'Y
support price which the govern
ment must guarantee the farmers
will also go up.
This presents a strong argumen
for reducing the prices on things
the farmer buys, as much ana
as fast as possible. If big Su'
pluses on major farm crops shoulo
develop, and if the prices farmers
pay remain high, the support-pflce
program could cost the taxpayers
many millions of dollars.

New Orleans, La July ~ - Inc
fatal shooting of Elijah Myles, q
year old Negro rubbish collector,
of 1896 Laussat Street, Friday
July 10, by Ferdinand Mohr, 81
year old white foreman on ire
city's Agriculture Street dump,
has caused a police investigation
which entered its ninth consecu-
tive day which no signs of abat-
ind and has caused New Orleans
law enforcement officials to divide
themselves into two opposing fac
tons.
One group, acting on reports of
the autopsy performed on the slain
man by the eminent DR.. George
F. C. Fasting, senior pathologist
of Charity Hospital, and of DR..
Dominick S. Condie, official New
Orleans Police Department ply
sician, charges that Myles was
srot in the back and demands the
indictment of Mohr on a murder
charge.
The other group, waving dea-
tn certificate signed by DR.. Rich
ard Buck, assistant Orleans Par
ish Coroner, contends Myles was
shot in the chest while advanc-
ing ON Mohr and that Mohr act
ed in self defense and the killing
was justifiable.
Meanwhile, Superintendent of
Police A. A. Waters, Chief of
Detectives William Screuring, and
District Attorney Herve Racivitch
are personally probing into an al
legged $4,000 year salvage
racket on the Agriculture ST..
dump which is said to have been
the motive behind Myles' Staying.
The case, closed by the police
department and the district at
torney's office only few hours
after Myles was killed, was re-
opened the following day on the
complaint of Daniel E. Byrd, Ex-
ecutive Secretary of the New Or
leans Branch of the National AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Colored People, who had secured
statements from eye witnesses to
the shooting.
Nine witnesses, none on whom
had been interviewed by police or
representatives of the district at
torney's office, gave the NAACP
signed statements to the effect
trait Myles was shot in the back
by Mohr while running away from
Ambrose Collignon, a white en-
ployee, who attempted to chas-
tise Myles with a sawed off cool
cue because the youth had not
agreed to pay the >kickback OF
three dollars out of each $40 worth
of material salvaged and sold.
The Orleans parish grand jury
Wednesday suspended investigat-
ion of the fatal shooting after
looking into tire case for possible
new evidence and reported the
case has been left open for later
study by grand jury panel. Tw-
entysixwitnesses werecalled by the
grand jury but onl ythree were
heard Wednesday, DR.. Fasting, DIR.
Buck, and Major Maurice O'Neill,
ballistics expert for the New Ar
leans Police Department.
Other witnesses, however, gave
statements to local newspapers,
the NAACP, the district attorney
and the Police Department des-
cribing the shooting and telling
of a payoff for permission to col
lect rubbish on the dump.
Myles was shot down shortly
after noon Friday, July Is, by
Mohr who told police he acted
in self-defense and that ris pi-
toI bullet struck the youth in the
chest. Myles, he added, was adj
yancing on him with a lead pipe
in his hand.

Georgia Youth
Deny Attack On
Aged Woman
Is YEAR OLD BOY
BEWILDERED BY ARREST

Crarles Motley, 13, year old
negro suspect, accused of having
attempted to attack a II year old
white grandmother while she was
picking blackberries with her 10
and II year old granddaughter in
Marietta Tuesday, emphatically
denied the charge in an interview
Wednesday.
Moreover the mild-mannered, g.
tn grade pupil claims that all he
knows about the alleged crime is
what re read in newspapers and
what Marietta officers told him
when they spirited him away from
an aroused mob of some two or
three hundred potential lynchers,
who, armed with rifles, pistols, and
clubs had assembled to take law
and order into their own hands.
Giving a detailed account of his
actions during the moring the at
tack was reported to rave been
made, the country lad related that
he had been collecting slop for
his fathers hogs. After making
two stops collecting the slop, the
youth claimed that he stopped by
a place called the Big Apple and
chatted with a schoolmate of his.
Upon finishing his chat, the ac-
cused lad claimed that he went
home and went to sleep.
TAKEN UNDER ARREST
Sometime later, he was awaken
ed when Marietta City officers
West and Mcpherson came to his
house, continued Motley. He went
out front to see what they want
ed, he said. At that time the of
ficers did not tell him why he
was being arrested, he added.
Shortly afterwards the woman
accuser was brought to his home
where he was pointed out as the
one who attacked her, he stated.
1t was then he was placed in the
patol car by the officers and
brought to Atlanta, the lad point
ed out.
The youth related that he was
not told why he was under ar
rest until the officers car was ap-
preaching Atlanta.
Asked about tire blue bandanna
Handkerchief which was purported
to have been worn by the alleg-
ed attacker, the boy replied that
he knew nothing of a blue bandan-
ma handkerchief. 81 did however
have a piece of blue scarf in my
pocket when officers arrested me, "
he said.
The youth furtrer stated that
although he had seen the aged
woman and her grandchildren a.
bout Marietta at times, he did
not know their names and was

the day the attack was said to
have taken place.
Tuesday evening" the grandma
Their and the two girls were brou-
ght to Fulton Tower, where the
youth is lodged, and repeatedly
identified the youth as the attack
er.
AFFECTED PLIGHT
Queried as to his background
Motley stated that he lived with
his blind father, his uncle, who al
so lives at tire house, is employed
at restaurant in the town. His
mother, sisters and brothers are
all dead. The pitiable orphan re-
lated.
GIVE never been in any trouble

and / know absolutely nothing a.
bout this thing. I don't know why
they accused me-"
II was born in Marietta in 49,
33. I'm IS years old and will be
Ia on Nov, 49,"
The woman repeatedly told Of
ficers that she was attacked by
a negro youth, wearing bandanr
ma handkerchief, jumped from a
clump of bushes and knocked her
down while she and her grand
daughters were picking blackber-
ries. The youth fled when the girls
left the field screaming, the wo-
man repeatedly said.
Althoughthe woman was said
to have received scratches about
the fac eand neck, she was not
crininally assaulted, police re-
vealed.
Meanwhile, reports say that the
case against the youth whose re-
ported age ordinarily places him
under Juvenile juriddiction, will
probably be brought before Cobb
County Jury which is now in SEES
sion.
