Two Senators Urqe
Repeal Of Export Curb
On Wheat Reserves
by the Assoeictsd Press

Two Midwest Senators today
proposed repeal of a law which
shuts off wheat exports when re-
serve supplies in this country
fall to $4,000, 900 bushels.
Senator Young, Republican, Of
North Dakota said he thinks this
provision in a foreign aid bill
passed last December is one of the
reasons for the sharp break in
grain prices.
He said 1t forces foreign buyers
to look for wheat In other export
ing countries when United States
supplies fall to the fixed level. That,
he declared, tends to shut Ameri-
can producers out of the world
market and depress prices in this
COZ ntry.
Senator Young said Congress
should investigate the motives OF
oficials Of all four major commodity
exchanges who supported the re-
serve requirement before it was
adopted.
The automatic ban on exports, he
said. % helps spectators who
gamble on a drop in the cost of
wheat and (O penalties United
States farmers.
Ths North Dakotan gave his
views In a statement explaining a
bill he has prepared, with Senator
Bushfield, Republican, of South Da-
kota, to wipe out the wheat carry
over clause.
"Carry-over" is the portion OF a
crop held In storage from one crop
year to the next, including seed.
The 5000 ,000- 0-bushel requirement
was written into the stopgap for
eign aid bill passed at the 1s47
special session.
A Senate Appropriations Sub
committee next Monday will call
tn Il. T. Maynard, big Chicago
trader who prof1ted from the price
drop. Senator Young said he will
ask that the group question Mr..
Maynard about exchange support
for the big carryover.
"And II there were" he added,
whether their operations were SO
precisely timed as those of Mr..
Maynard"
Exchange Men to Testify.
Also on Monday, the Senate Agri-
culture Committee will hear grain
exchange representatives testify on
margin controls,
The rapid break In commodity
markets has focused attention on
the administrations request for
power to fix the amount of down
payment. At present the exchanges
make their own rules on margins.

Baby Born With Mouth Sealed;
Two Operations Free Jaw

Doctors at Uniont0wn Hospital,

the condition "congenital atresia."
Feeling there was no other hope,
the dental surgeon operated two
days after the infants birth and
again, three days later.
In the first surgery. the upper and
lower jaws were separated and the
tongue freed. The lower jaw was
manipulated into proper position.
The second operation removed ex-
cess tissue and completely freed
the jaw.
The little girl, who now weighs 4
pounds ounces, now is able to move
her jaws, cry and nurse with spe-
cial nipple fashioned somewhat like
a rubber medicine dropper.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb. Is
The town OF Montgomery has been

pal swimming pool any time 1t Is

Judge Moore authorized issuance
Of an injunction against the town

Lawrence and other members of the
Negro race. The town, near Charles

Judge Moore said municipal gov

constitutional obligation to afford all
citizens equal rights.
In his petition for an injunction,
Mr.. Lawrence said Montgomery
Negroes were denied their constitu-
tional rights in view of the fact that
the pool was financed by funds

by the Asseeiotsd Press

President Truman cautioned Con-
gress yesterday against forgetting
the lessons taught by the drought
years.
Vetoing q measure for the dis
posal of so-called submarginal lands
within Indian reservations in Mon
tana and North and South Dakota,
he said:
I'VE cannot prevent the recur-
renee Of drought cycles. But we
should not disregard their lessons.
We should not reverse, even to the
limited extent inherent in H. r. 3153
(the bill vetoed, the policy of pro-
tecting submarginal lands against
abuse, born out of the experience
of the last great drought cycle,
merely because a wet cycle has in
tervened.
ITO do so, would be to throw away
the money spent for the acquisition
of the submarginal lands, and to
intensity agricultural distress when
ever drought reappears."

references to controversial subjects

Mr.. Forrestal said a directive
dated February 4, "embodies con-
clusions reached at a meeting OF the
War Council, and applies to public
statements, that is speeches, articles
written for publication or state
ments prepared for presentation for
testimony before committees OF

Supplements October Statement.
The new directive supplements
general statement of public relations
policy in the national military
establishment issued last october 10
That statement ordered the three
departments to settle controversies
among themselves or bring them to
Mr.. Forrestal for judgment rather
than air them in the public press.
The latest directive, Mr.. Forrestal
said, is intended to promote "a closer
and more harmonious intregation OF
the Armed Forces by preventing the
inevitable differences about policy
matters from becoming topics OF
public debate and controversy.
Secretary Forrestal stated that
obviously no useful purpose would
be served by an attempt to define
what constitutes q controversial
subject.
Budget Support Stressed.
TN this general connection, how
ever, I want to point out that one
such subject is the budget-where
all of us, as part Of the administra-
ton, have the job of supporting the
budget which the President sub
mitted to Congress. Any departures
by the National Military Establish
ment from support of this budget
will be made only on the basis OF
orders received by me from the
President"
Mr.. Forrestal said he told the War
Council that 1t was ito the mutual
interest of all of us to minimize
public evidences Of friction among
the services" He did not list any
public evidences of friction" which
caused him to take the action.
