World Wheat Stocks
Reach Lowest Level
Situation May Have No Effect
On Consumer Prices.

WASHINGTON. - The amount Of
wheat the principal exporting ma
tions were able to save from last
years crop was the smallest in
eight years. according to the agri-
culture department.
The report, compiled by the de-
partment's foreign crops and mar
kets division, raised the possibility
that deficit nations may have to
scrape along this year with even
less wheat than they had expected
from this and other exporting coun-
tries.
The situation probably also will
have an effect on American con-
sumner prices.
II world competition for wheat
drives grain prices higher it will be
reflected in higher domestic retail
prices for meat. poultry and dairy
products.
The department said wheat stocks
in the four main producing coun-
tries on July l-start Of the new
crop year-were only $40 million
bushels. This is eight million bush.
els below l946 and the smallest July
stocks since 1888.
In addition to the United States,
the worlds major wheat-exporting
countries are Canada, Australia
and Argentina.
Total world grain reserves on
July were estimated by the de.
partment at 49.S65,OOO short tons,
an increase Of some 20 per cent
over the previous year.
This was due almost entirely to 9
sharp rise in world corn reserves
principally in the United States.
The world corn carryover was
estimated at 977 million bushels, ar
increase Of nearly so. per cent ovel
l946.
The increase in the American
carryover since has been counter
balanced by hot, dry weather in the
corn belt, which has cut this years
corn crop several hundred million
bushels.
Although this country had {
record-breaking wheat harvest O.
l,427, ,00O, 600 bushels, officials have
all but given up hope Of meeting
their original export goals because
Of the disastrous corn failure.

Al Week to Girl
He Couldn't Win
Leaves a Letter 10 Brother
Giving Directions in
Love Case.


RICHMOND, VA. - Like many
other soldiers, Valentine Browne.
Lawless left will when he went to
war in 1874. There were the usual
clauses providing for distribution, of
personal property. There also was
clause that directed that the cash
residue Of the estate be turned over
to his brother, Edward Kirwsn
Lawless. for a special purpose. But
the purpose was not defined in the
win.
Valentine left a letter to his
brother-to be opened only in case
Of his death.
The S6-year-old army air forces
sergeant was killed in a plane crash
at Linz, Austria, IN October, 1914.
The letter revealed that Valentine
a number Of years had been in love
with girl whom he had no hope Of
winning.
y win continue to love her for
the duration Of my life" it said,
Shows Devotion.
In death, the letter continued, he
planned to express his devotion to
the girl. The cash residue Of the
soldiers estate-$S, ,60O-was to be
used TO fll6ll this wish.
Every week florist was to send
the girl one rose-''a perfect rose. -
The color did not matter. But the
identity Of the sender never was to
be revealed.
MY idea" Valentine wrote to his
brother, 'is to furnish the girl with
the pleasure Of receiving a rose, not
to have her think Of me because
sent it to her."
Valentines request became
known when his sister, Margaret
Lawless, contended that her broth,
er's last request was mot practi-
cal' and asked the Virginia su.
preme court Of appeals to set il
aside.
Legal Squabble.
The sister and other heirs
claimed that failure Of the win Il
specify the special purposes haG
the effect Of leaving the $500 ir
trust with Edward Lawless for thu
benefit Of other heirs.
Edward contended, however, that
carrying out the instructions in hil
brothers letter was a matter O
Conscience"
Previously, a lower court in Nor
folk, where the win was made out
ruled that the soldiers funds haC
