Wheat, Flour Exports
Up 16MiIIion Bushels;
Goal May Be Reached
By Chalmers M. Roberts

A 10000 ,000- -bushel increase In
United States wheat and flour ex-
ports announced by Secretary of
Agriculture Anderson raised hopes
last night that the total may reach
the $4,000, 900 goal before the crop
year ends June 80.
The increase, possible because of
improved crop prospects, gave lift
to the Economic Cooperation Ad-
ministration as it began, the job of
administering the European Recov-
cry Program.
Secretary Anderson said the In
ternational Emergency Food Com
mite, which plans world food ship
ments, could count on the additional
100000 bushels as a firm goal"
He said that after the April % grain
report on the new crop is made
public it will be possible to deter
mine whether the overall goal can
be reached.
To Set Final Figure.
The Cabinet Food Committee, con-
sisting of Secretary of State Mar
shall and Secretary of Commerce
Hartman as well as Secretary An
derson, will have to set the final
figure.
The increase Just announced
brings the total export figure for
wheat so far this crop year to 1885,
100000 bushels. About 90,0O0,0 900
bushels of other grains, chiefly corn,
already have been exported so that
about 100000 more bushels of
wheat or -four equivalent would be
needed to meet the goal.
The 570,O00,0OO figure was set last
September by President Truman,
chiefly on the advice of the Harri-
man Committee of which the ECA
administrator, Paul G. Hoffman,
was a member. Poor crop prospects,
however, dimmed for many months
the possibility of coming closer than
within 10O000,000 bushels of the
goal.
The new increase is based on the
preliminary forecast that 1948-49
may bring the third largest wheat
harvest in our history. A crop of
around 1,132 100000 bushels is in
dicated by the Agriculture Depart
ment. 1t would be considerably be-
low the 1947-48 record of 1854 ,00O,-
600 bushels.
Dollar Credit Problem.
The higher export total will make
4 fN InoN full tho fn0d Y,iYNn- I
lines to Europe. The immediate
dollar credit problem for the five
nations in most serious financial
straits was solved Friday by Mr..
Hoffman in advancing $21, ,000, 900 of
ERP funds for supplies, mostly food.
The nations are Greece, Italy,
France, Austria and the Neither
lands.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Hoffman has still
to sign up the man he wants for the
$17,500 deputy administrator post
at ECA. 1t was reliably reported Mr..
Hofman's choice was one of these
four: Ferdinand Eberstadt, form
er War Production Board official;
Daniel w. Bell, Washington banker
and former Undersecretary of the
Treasury, Robert H. Hinckley, form
er Civil Aeronautics Authority head,
and Jess Larson, War Assets Ad-
ministration chief.
The Job of rowing ambassador In
Europe-a $25,0oo post-also has yet
to be filled.
Temporary Organization.
A temporary organization, de-
scribed as makeshift and subject to
change, already is taking form in
the ECA Offices in the old State
Department building. 1t includes
the following:
Wayne Chatfeld Taylor as opera
tions officer. No one is quite sure
what the title means-least of all
Mr.. Taylor. Mr.. Taylor, 54, served
both as assistant secretary of the

House group and Chairman Bridges
Of the Senate committee have made
it clear they expect Mr.. Hoffman
to Justify" the appropriation of
S., 800. .000. 900 for ERP.
That sum has been authorized by
Congress in the ERP Act, but the
only funds the new agency has as
yet is the $1,000 100000 which the
act authorized the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. to advance pending
an appropriation.

51-MilIion National Vote
Forecast In A. P. Survey
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

The best available estimates In
each Of the 48 States place the total
vote for President in the coming
election at 51,035,256.
This Is 1,214,s44 more than the
record vote of 49,s20,312 cast in 1910
Roosevelt-Willkie) and $685. 1893
above that of 1876, 1868 in 1914
(Roosevelt-Dewey). The drop in
1914 from 1910 was due largely to
war dislocations.
The 194S estimate is the result of
an Associated Press tabulation of
forecasts obtained from State cleo
ton officials and others. In come
instances the predictions are those
Of party cnairmen and experienced
newspaper observers. r.
The total vote is based on an esti-
mated 66,s11,617 of eligible voters,
that Is. persons who have taken
the trouble to register, paying poll
taxes and other means. This COM
pares with an estimated eligibility
roll Of go, ,766, ,625 in 1914.
The 51,035, ,236 total vote estimate
Is below some other forecasts. If
the increase in the number of per-
sons Of voting age is taken into ac-
count and the voters cast ballots
in the same ratio as shown in re-
cent elections, the figure will be
considerably higher.

Demo. Platform Is Framed But Not Revealed
By Francis M. Le May

PHILADELPHIA, - (P)-Dem- ocratic platform framers were re- ported today to have drawn a pre- liminary civil rights plank bid ding for party unity through a revival of the 1914 race stand
 But there were no immediate signs whether the proposed com promise can stop a convention floor fight-between Southerners and self-styled "Liberals"-that could determine whether the Dem ocrats will be one party or two in November.
 The tentative platform draft, drawn by a seven-man subcom- mittee and yet to be approved by the 108-member full platform committee and by the convention, was held in secrecy.
 Southerners were said to have lost their fight in the preliminary drafting group for States Rights plank. Previously, the Democratic chairman, Howard McGrath said the administration might be will ing to go along with such plank if it did not "nullify" the Civil Rights proposal.
 Senator Francis J. Myers, of Pennsylvania, platform committee chairman, described the super secret document as following "gen- erally in outline the philosophy of the new deal-a Roosevelt-Tru- man platform.
 It remained to be seen whether the words the sleepy-eyed draft ing committee of seven came up with at 3:3O a.m., would please either side in the red hot Civil Rights battle.

 In this connection, the Norwe- gian prime minister, Einar Ger hardsen, made a significant state ment on Feb. 29. "The threat to Norway" he said, lis the danger which the Communist party repre- sents.
 Those who head the Commun- ist party in Norway" he added. "are Comintern Communists. Like their fellow workers in other lands. they are disciples of terror and dictatorship"
 Despite the fact that, earlier in this statement, Premier Gerhard sen argued that the problem for Norway is first and foremost of a domestic nature" it is clear from his remarks that the internal men ace which cOnfronts Norway can not be divorced from the external threat. In warning his people to be on their guard against "Comintern Communists" the NorW 2 m statesman is also underlining the Russian menace as well.
