were still keeping their fingers
crossed as to which way they may
turn in the future.
None, however, expected to see a
repetition of the sharp February de-
clines in the near future, and like
wise there was little belief that
prices would rise beyond the levels
prevailing before the February
break.
POLITICAL ACTIVITY CHARGED
Charges of political activity by
the soil conservation service
highlighted hearings by the
house agriculture committee on
a bill to transfer Sos activities
to extension service. largely con-
trolled by the states.
H. L. Slusher, president of the
Missouri Farm bureau, presented
copies of what he said were notes

DEMAND CHECKS LUM

One of the chief reasons adj
vanced in Washington for the re-
bound of commodity prices since
The sharp February slump is
heavier demand.
Much of this demand is attributed
to the lower prices. AS of March 4,
corn, soybeans, cotton, hogs and
cattle had made up much of their
declines. Wheat has been the slow
est on the comeback.
Announcement by Secretary of
Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson on
March 3 that the government wanted
to buy flour equal to $780, 900 BUSH
els of wheat, was the first govern
ment offer to buy since Feb. 8.

Keeping in Touch With Washington
- Hae Study 81 Wheat Pact


WASHINGTON, D. C.-Final APP
prevail by the United States of the
proposed five : year international
agreement setting a maximum ex-
port price of So a bushel for wheat
about SO cents lower than the
present market price-depends on
favorable action by congress.
If il is submitted as a treaty.
a two-thirds majority vote by
the senate would be required for
approval. If it goes to congress
as an agreement il would have
TO be approved by a joint res
olution of both houses of son.
gress with a majority vote.
While it is too early to forecast
what action congress might take,
several farm bloc congressman have
served notice they will fight against
any move to fix prices for wheat.
Some members favor waiting a few
years before acting on such an agree
ment.
Rep. Clifford r. Hope of Kansas,
chairman of the house agriculture
committee, has an "open mind on
the question and says the proposal
will be given careful consideration.
The pact was drawn up by repre-
sentatives of So countries, three of
which are great grain export ma
tions-the United States, Canada
and Australia. Two other impor-
tant grain exporting countries
Russia and Argentina-refused to
participate in the agreement.
While setting a maximum price
of So a bushel on wheat exported
from the United States, Canada and
Australia to the other 33 participant
ing nations, the pact would also
guarantee a minimum or floor
price of $1.50 a bushel the first year.
This minimum would drop 10 cents
a bushel annually until 1852 when
it would be $1.10.
In return Tor the price assurances,
the 80 importing countries promise
to buy at least 500, 200, 900 bushels of
wheat from the three exporting ma
tons annually.
Canada, long a heavy exporter of
wheat, would export 230, 000, 900
bushels of this; the United States,
1875, 5000 bushels, and Australia,
IS, 900, 900 bushels.
The United States has been ex-
porting far in excess of 185, 900, 600
bushels annually in the past few
years, mostly to feed a hungry
Europe.
Agitation for an international
wheat agreement began before the
war, when world grain prices were
low in some years. Several confer
ences were held during the war, with
the final one ending recently in
Washington with the announcement
of the pact.

result of reports that Sen. Carl

In this event, the president may
want Anderson on the Democratic

Mexico in the party fold.
New Mexico Democrats feel they

and nasty words from the men.
Last year when I came here
1t was a fight to establish the
New Look with women" Dior
reminiSced. THAT fight has now
been won and it is accepted as
tho fashion Of today"
Dior said that he has always
loved the long skirt for its grace
and feminini&y. The short skirt
he despises so that he hopes it
never comes back again. And yet
he realizes that fashion, like most
important influences, goes in
cycles. Every ten years there is a
definite change so that inevitably
the short skirt will return when
he hopes he won't be around.l
Despite Dior's penchant for the
heightened skirt, he will not let
1t reach the floor for daytime
wear nor does ne feel other de-
signers will permit 1t to go to
such an extreme. "Above all,
Fashion must be practical" he
declared, American women
won't let it be otherwise"
