two-day visit in Chicago.
One of the group, Mrs. Grace
Mcdonald, editor of the Cali
fOrnia Farm Reporter, pointed
out that farmers in her state now
are receiving only Ia cents a
pound for apricotS which cost
them IS cents to raise.
Elmer Benson, former COVER
nor of Minnesota, expressed deep
concern over the price of oats,
which have dropped so per cent
in just five weeks.
Corn, which formerly brought
the farmers $3.50 a bushel, now
brings price of only $3.50,
Wallace pointed out.
The Wallace farmers blamed
the mathematician process
ing companies and grocery
chains that pack their own
for the still-increasing price of
food.
Wheat prices have dropped,
but bread prices have increased"
they pointed out. "The net prof

products, including meat, accord

Homer Ayres, farm director of

tention to the general increase
in the price of farm machinery

per cent rent increase.

much about what would happen

December, '48. But we're forced

One rent expert, Irving Stein
berg, attorney and Progressive
candidate for Congress from the
18th Cong Distr., predicts that
in October landlords will serve
a wave of eviction notices on
tenants whose leases expire in
December.
"Probably," Steinberg told The
Standard, many landlords will
take advantage of the grounds
for eviction provided in the 1948
Rent Act inasmuch as tenants
will be handicapped by the ter
mination of their leases.
II say October, since a so day
eviction notice is required under
the Rent Act = and so days
would fall on the date leases
expire"
Steinberg pointed out, how
ever, that tenants have grounds
for a legal fight on evictiOns,
since the terms of the 1948 fed
eral Rent Act specify that "hOld-
ers of rent increase leases are
protected as to rents and Occu-
pancy through the first three
months of 1949, when the Rent
Act expires"
This means that tenants can
not be evicted during the first
three months of 1949-except on
grounds specified in the federal
Rent Act. The following three
grounds for eviction remain the
greatest threat to tenants secur-
