Stockpiling Planned.
Senator Lodge insisted that all OF
the oil should come from areas out
side the United States.
Senator, it just isn't available
elsewhere" Mr.. Swanson replied.
TT isn't available here either,
the Senator retorted.
Senator Vandenberg then asked
MIR. Warne If the Krug report ad-
vocated obtaining stockpiles of criti-
cal or strategic materials in partial
payment for aid to foreign nations.
A State Department official, Will
liam Phillips of the International
Trade Office, replied that such a
plan of stockpiling is contemplated
under the long-range program.
Mr.. Phillips said cobalt produc-
ton in the Belgian Congo could be
increased by 100000 tons.
Senator Vandenberg then asked
about uranium, but Mr.. Phillips said
that was "in the higher realms" and
he did not know the answer.
The Senator suggested that Mr.
Phillips indicate to those in charge
that the committee later would want
to know about uranium.

Bumper Wheat Crop
Held Still Possible;
Corn Estimate Cut
BY the Assoeioted Press


A bumper wheat crop is still pos
eible next year despite serious
seeding delay in the Great Plains,
Agriculture Department off1cials
said today.
A department crop report yester-
day said about Is per cent of the
intended wheat acreage in Nebras-
RADIO and New Mexico remained un-
seeded November l because Of crit
ically dry weather.
These six States produced about
49 per cent of this years record
crop of 1,406, 900, 900 bushels.
The report said seeding has pro-
gressed we'll, however on what now
In all other important producing
areas
The department estimated the
corn crop at 2,447 AZ. 900 bushels.
Corr Quality Improved.
This is decrease of 1882 900
bushels from the departments fore
cast of 2,458,674, 900 a month ago.
It is sharply below last years rec
ord crop of 3,2S7927, 900 and is
slightly below the 10-year Q936-45)
average of 1888, ,102 900.
While corn declined in quantity,
1t improved in quality and livestock
feeding value. The crop is about IS
per cent below last years record
and IT per cent short of Government
estimates of need based on rates of
use during the past year.
In regard to wheat. officials said
that assuming next years produc-
ton in the six drought affected
States is only half this years, 1t
still would be possible, on the
basis of present prospects, to har-
vest a total crop Of at least 1,000,-
900, 900 bushels.
The United States has produced
only four crops of billion bushels
or more. and they were grown dur
ing the past four years. Wheat out
put averaged 800, 100000 bushels for
the 1936-45 period.
While officials would like to see
another record crop because of the
world grain shortage. they point
out that a billion -bushel yield still
would permit this country to export
a much larger quantity of wheat in
the 1913 crop year than it nor
mally shipped before the war.
The crop report emphasized that
wheat prospects are particularly
good in the Pacific Northwest, in
most Rocky Mountain States and
in the East.
The outlook is favorable" the
report said, ION an acreage which
may be larger than last year in these
high yielding areas" Yields per
acre usually run considerably lower
in the Plains States than In other
wheat-groWing sections.
The report also stated that seed
ing in the dry areas is still possible
If sufficient rain should fall during
November and December
The report gave few changes in
production estimates in other crops
for this year from estimates OF a
month ago.
The department increased produc-
ton estimates for grain sorghums,
rice, potatoes, peanuts, tobacco, sugar
beets and pears from those of a
month ago, but reduced the figures
for soybeans, sugar cane, apples and
grapes. Yields per acre this year
are far above average for most crops
with wheat and tobacco near records,

Hint on Credit Control.
A hint that the President may ask
for reinstatement of controls over
installment buying came from Sec
retary of the Treasury Snyder.
When the President called the spe-
cial session, he emphasized both the
domestic price situation and the
foreign aid program.
Secretary Snyder told reporters
that competitive reasons make it
very diff1cult for private lenders or
sellers ito put any very strong re-
strictions on installment credit

c1ssion to the oil situation. He
asked Mr.. Swanson If we could be
reimbursed" later on for petroleum
now being sent abroad.
Mr.. Swanson said it would be de-
sirable, but unlikely before the end
of the long-range aid program in
1851.
Senator Wiley, Republican, of
Wisconsin asked Mr.. Warne If any
thing was being done to get bases
abroad TO rthe United States in ex-
change for our aid.
"Well, not in the Krug report, -
Mr.. Warne replied as the committee
members and the handful of spec
tators present joined in laugh.
Senator Lodge asked whether the
aid program would increase prices
at home, especially for oil.
II should hope not" Mr.. Warne
answered, but short supplys tends
to raise prices% He added, that the
question was considered by the
Nourse report rather than the Krug
report.
The Senator said he was "a little
disappointed" that the report was
not frank" on the conservation
question. He said the report should
have had some "red hot recon-
mendations" so the world could
know that we need many raw ma
terials in return for our aid.
Preparation Of Facts Praised.
In his prepared statement, Mr.
Warne said the Nation faces "a
pressing urgency" for expanding its
conservation measures and for dis
covering and developing new sources
of supply for many" of our basic
raw materials.
Senator Lodge wanted to know
what percentage of our aid could be
returned in the form of raw mate
riak but Mr.. Warne would not
hazard q guess.
Senator Vandenberg broke in to
say the bilateral agreements with
foreign nations would have to in
clude such conditions. He told Sen
ator Lodge that the principal OF
these agreements would pass in re-
view" before Congress. When Sen
ator Wiley demanded that "all the
facts be laid on the table," Senator
Vandenberg said the administra-
tons preparation of facts had been
extremely good
I'm withholding judgment" the
Senator added, however, on what
conclusions he drew from them.
Senator Wiley went on to say he
had not yet seen blueprint show
ing we'll get something in return in
the form of strategic materials, hid
den gold, strategic locations" and
other items. Here he mentioned
bases in the Caribbean area, espe-
cially near the Panama Canal.
Senator Vandenberg said he
wanted it understood that the ex-
ploration of the aid program should
include the quo pro quid as well as
the quid pro quo"
Questioned on Russia.
The committee adjourned this
morning until tomorrow. Following
the final hearings, probably tomor-
row, the next committee meeting
will be Monday at 10 am. to con-
slider procedure in handling the
stopgap bill.
On the other side of the Capitol,
Mr.. Hartman, before the House
committee, was asked about his at
Htude in case a nation receiving
help should come under the in
huence of Russia. His reply was, Il
should then lose interest in it, in
that particular country"
He added, however, that he be-
lieves the United States should hold
itself ready to help any Eastern
European nation that might free it
self of Russian domination.

Modernized Sea Bag
For Naval Personnel

Within the next few months the
Navy will have new, modernized
seabag ready for the general use
of Naval personnel.
The present seabag in general
use was originally designed to be
carried with hammocks and mat
tresses which are no longer re-
quired, due to the advent of fold
ing steel hunks on all Navy ships.
Four designs have been selected
as those most likely to fulfill the
requirements and are now under
actual travel and laboratory tests.
The first is collapsible, accor-
dion-type box with plastic rein
forced ends, one side of which acts
as lid and is closed by a upper.
The second type is a fabric suit
case, which can be laid open or
hung up open by means of zip
per down both ends and around the
bottom.
Both of the other types of bags
are the same and resemble the
duffle type now in use except for
the fabric they are made of and
the addition of a golf-bag type
sling, Upper closure, and a side
pocket for personal travelling eff
fects.
