The shoe is on the other foetl
For months we have been
sending packages to Europe
Each article of clothing is
washed and mended. Other
clothing gifts from friends are
added. We also include such
items as prepared soup mixes,
beans, canned milk, cocoa,
raisins, shortening and choco-
late for the children. Natural
ly this amounts up in cost over
a period Of time.
News of our infationary
prices has reached Europe. In
the last thank you" note was
solicitously expressed the sin
cere hope that we, their ben
efactors, were not suffering
from hunger!
1t is a fact, however, that
right here in Hagerstown,
store shelves are filled to ca
pacity and yet there are citi-
zens unable to purchase be-
cause of the outrageously high
prices.
What can we do about it?

mating that corn prices will aver

marketing year as whole"
Cotton Also Plentiful.
Another crop facing the same
problems of bountiful supply is
cotton.
The department yesterday esti-
mated the crop at 15,219,000 bales,
up $4,000 bales from the prediction
Of a month ago. The crop would be
about 3,500,000 bales more than
last year.
One important question yet to be
determined is whether the Gov
ernment will set marketing quotas
for cotton farmers. To become ef-
fective the quotas must be agreed
to by at least two-thirds of the
farmers voting in a referendum in
all the cotton-producing States. One
agriculture Official said it would
cost about $10,Oo0,000 to set up the
controls and run the referendum.
The Secretary Of Agriculture has
until November IS to determine,
under the law, whether the probable
demand for cotton in the current
marketing year will exceed the nor
NAL supply by more than per
cent. In such a case, the secretary
must set the marketing quotas and
order the referendum.

Navy Is Building Bomber
| With 1,200-MiIe Rance
By the Assoeiafsd Press

The Navy is building an expert
mental tWin-engine bomber with a
range of 1900 miles, it was learned
today.
This is more than double the
effective range of today's carrier
based planes and approaches the
Navy's goal of 1,500-mile sky feet.
The new bomber Is scheduled to
be test flown some time next year,
with delivery set for 1850 If it proves
satisfactory.
Naval aviation experts believe a
l ,500-mile radius from q carrier is
about the most useful range. They
say they can reach every worth
while target in the world with a
plane that can carry a good bomb
load that distance.
One expert pointed out that by
lengthening the bombing range, the
carriers chances for attack as well
as escape are vastly increased. For
example, he said, plane having q
range of 900 miles could have Its
carrier somewhere within an area
Of 10000 square miles.
But il the plane has a radius OF
1 200 miles an enemy would have to
search more than 1000, 900 square
miles Of ocean to find the carrier
he said.

Elephant in Moot
Is Finally Lured
lOut With Alfalfa
By the Associoied Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9.-May
ascended from the moat today
which proves that appetite more
than flattery or persuasion moves
a lady elephant.
Desire for peanut caused Mays
downfall last Monday. A pile OF
alfalfa hay finally lured her up q
ramp from the 8-foot moat.
She toppled into the moat sur
rounding her zoo inclosure when her
clearinghouse trunk failed to reach
the proffered peanut.
Hundreds of visitors showed UP
daily and showered May with SYM
pathy and peanuts. No elephant in
San Francisco had ever received
such attention.
Zoo keepers built heavy ramp
and tried persuasion and prodding
but May ripped the ramp apart and
stayed.
Yesterday the ZOO director, Carey
Baldwin, decreed to the crowds
don't feed the elephant" and fixed
the ramp.
May began shifting the alfalfa last
night and finally rumbled out.

The various committee members
would be less than human not to
appreciate and remember the nice
gesture every time they gaze at the
portraits hanging on the committee
room walls.
Presentation was made by William
c. Doherty, association president.
It's gestures such as these that have
paid OIL for postal workers in the
past in terms Of beneficial legisla-
ton. Members of Congress who are
friendly to Government employees
legislation don't want any material
awards for their efforts, but they
do like to know now and then that
their efforts are appreciated.
Perhaps that's one Of the reasons
that postal workers Jared much

Oyster Season Opens
with High Prices

The first week of the oyster sea-
son found prices high and the sup
ply light with only a few bivalves on
hand at the District Fish Wharf and
Market, Eleventh street and Maine

from the Eastern Shore before the
middle Of this month.
Mr.. Bell explained that Wash

begin to buy oysters until after
September IS, although the season
ofllcially opens when "R" makes its
appearance on the calendar.
Meanwhile, the Associated Press
reported from Baltimore that the
first boat loads from the Eastern
Shore had docked there yesterday.
Retail prices for the Long Island
oysters here are from $6 to 81 a
b,,shel in the shell, with some bar
rels going as high as $24 for three

Wheat Export Decline
Expected With Prices
Near Support Level

Wheat exports from the United
States will decline, beginning with
this crop year, and prices will con-
tinue near Government support
levels, the Agriculture Department
said today.
In its publication, the Wheat Sit
uation, the department said the
tentative range" for American ex-
ports in the 1949-50 crop year is
from 900, 600, 900 to 350, 0,O00, 900 bushels
Of wheat compared to exports for
the current 1889 crop year Of
probably 100,000,000 more bushels.
No definite figure, however, has been
set as yet for the current year.
The department indicated that
once again not only the size Of the
domestic crop, but the financial
and political role played by the
United States in international af-
airs" will be an important factor
in determining our exports.
Crop Prospects Good.
Current crop prospects are SO
good that the result is likely to be
an increase in stocks on hand, re-
duced to less-than-normal in re-
cent years because of the world
wide demand for wheat.
The result Of lower exports and
larger stocks on hand at home
would be continued lower prices,
lowering at the Government loan
level-$2 a bushel at the farm on
the average for this year. The de-
partment predicted that the loan
level may be lower by to 10 cents
a bushel next year, since farmers
will pay less for feed grains and
feedstuffs, thus dropping the parity
index on which the loan level Is
figured.
The department said exportable
wheat supplies for the 1948-9 year
from the four chief exporting ma
tions. the United States, Canada,
Australia and Argentina, are tenta-
lively estimated at $50, 0,0o0, 900 BUSH
els Of which about 450, 900 900 would
be available here.
To Aid Marshall Plan Nations.
Other nations, including Russia,
may possibly export another 5o,-
000, 900" bushels. About two-thrds
Of the total would go to Marshall
Plan nations, the department said.
The latest estimate OF the do
mestic wheat crop is for l ,2s4, ,000, 900
bushels, allowing for an increase OF
the carryover (the amount kept on
hand in this country from the
1876 900 900 bushels on hand July l
this year to around 275,000, 900
bushels next July l.
The huge corn crop prospects also
will have a price-depressing effect,
the department said today in esti-
