Auto Firm Fined for Aid
In Obtaining Maryland Tags

The Logan Motor Co., $40 Four
teenth street NV. was fined $50
in Municipal Court yesterday for
aiding an Army sergeant stationed
here to obtain Maryland license
tags to avoid District inspection of
a used car he purchased.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Clark King said the prosecution was
the first OF Its type here.
Defense counsel contended the
Government had not proved the
sergeant, Nathan Matt, of Boiling
Air Force Base, was not resident
of Maryland or that he was a resi-
dent of the District.
Sergt. Matz said that in 1913, he
had obtained q Maryland driving
permit in Baltimore. MI. King
brought out, however. the sergeant
has been stationed here since 1914
and has no home elsewhere.
Judge Nadine L. Gallagher heard
the case.

DETROIT. Aug. 13.-Motor We
hicle production In the United
States this week will total 1904
passenger cars and 27,272 trucks,
Wards Automotive Reports esti-
mated today.
This compares with last weeks
revised figure Of 1850 cars and

In the same week a year ago the
factories turned out 83,501 cars and

Noting this weeks production
level was maintained despite the

by strikes in supplier plants, Wards
said the car makers were eating
deeply into their stockpiles.
END result of this stockpile de-
pletion," the agency added, would
be suspension of all passenger car
output. Truck programs repeatedly
will be maintained for a longer
period"
Wards said this weeks Canadian
production totaled 3,187 cars and

Wheat Selling Below
US. Peg asCrop Jams
Storage Facilities
BY William Ferris
Assoeiafsd Press Market Editor

CHICAGO. Aug. l3.-wheat is
selling today below the Govern
ment's theoretical floor" in most
parts of the country. Efforts to
hold up the price have begged down
under the weight OF heavy sales
and lack Of storage room.
Recent support efforts have in
cluded increases in scheduled ex-
ports for September, an oficial
statement that the crop years
export goal will be raised above
original intentions, and an Agricul-
ture Department campaign to get
producers to hold wheat on farms.
But the price of wheat continues
below the support level"
The Government supports wheat
mainly through loan, based upon
80 per cent of parity. Loans at
various terminals are now in effect.
Grain experts believe farmers have
applied for loans in very large num-
Der, but of1cial figures have not
been issued.
Prices of wheat yesterday compared
with the Government loan for the
grade of wheat on which the price
is quoted here:
Terminal Price Loan
Chicago $2.2l1a $2.2S
Kansas City---$2.14 -$2.l81a $2.23
Minneapolis --$2.1s% -s224h $2.25
Storage Space Lacking.
Major cause for the slump OF
wheat below the loan, grain men
said, appeared to be inability to
obtain storage room. To get the
loan, wheat must be stored to meet
Government specifications. With
storage space filled, some wheat has
had to be dumped on the market.
However. the Government also will
give farmers purchase agreements
on wheat at the same price as the
loan. The producer has the option
to deliver the wheat to the Govern
ment at the loan price any time be-
fore May 80, 1949. Storage require
ments are not as exacting as under
the loan.
This years loan price Is the high
est on record. Since the program
was started in 1898 the loan has in
creased each year. The national loan
level each year, plus the number OF
bushels placed under the loan, fol-

Loan Program Criticized.

LOAn TTVxrAm VE1tlClLcu.
Meanwhile, some grain trade
sources criticized the loan program
One grain house said, "the whole
support program was started at a
time of reduced agricultural income
and was designed to prevent disaster
to the farmer but was never intended
to assure him higher prices year
after year"
Government officials have asserted
the support program was desirable
to assure the farmer there would be
no price collapse similar to that
following the last war. Because of
this, farmers have been encouraged
to produce record crops at a time
when the world most needed them
the ofhcials have stated.
