Chilean Asks Crime
News Limit

SANTIAGO, Chile-(P)-Crime
stories in Chilean newspapers
would be limited to 300 words un-
der a pending bill to curb, it's au-
thor says, the yellow press" A
Conservative deputy, Manuel Mon
talba Vega, introduced the bill in
Congress. 1t would:
Limit crime and police news to
300 words, with One-cOlumn head
lines in type only one size larger
than the text. Require the news
paper to keep a copy, signed by the
writer, of stories affecting the hon.
or or good name of third persons"
This copy would be kept available
a month for possible court action.
Punishment for exceeding the
crime story limit would be a fine
of 10000 to- $4,000 pesos (abOut 645
to 1913 dOllars). Libels in such
news would be punishable with i'm
pTisOnment and a fine of 1000 to
5000 pesos. So, too, would false
political stories which damage the
honor and good name Of persons
mentioned in them.
MOntalba Vega said his bill was
aimed only at newspapers that eek
aggerate" police news and falsify
stories to attack others" for their
own gain. He said it would not i'm
pair freedom of the press, but "pur-
ify it of its imperfectiOns." Two
leading Santiago newspapers, El
MercuriO and Ell Diario IllustradO
endorsed the bill editOrially. El
MercuriO said it only applied to g
few exceptions" among the news
papers and would not harm The
Legitimate privileges Of the press.

Before the war the problem was
to limit crops to prevent market
gluts and declining DTicc=. In war
time the government guaranteed
prices to encourage the farmers to
produce all the food possible.
That's one reason the U. S. had as
much as it did. Thus price support
plus crop cOntrOls-limiting acre
ages-have been used by the gov
ernment at one time to limit pro-
ductiOn, and price supports have
been used at another time to in
crease production.
What's happened now is this:
We have moved once more from a
situation in which a scarcity of
food was threatened, as during the
war, into one in which surpluses
may occur.
We have bumper crops and a de-
clining market Many agriculture
experts estimate the government
will have to put out around $780,
100000 (b) to keep prices on 1948
crops from falling below levels
fixed by law.
Some experts are saying price
supports must be cut in the face
of this record production.
But in the closing hours of Con-
gress this year bill was passed
which continued the present sup
ports through 1949. Any new
changes would have to be made by
Congress, and Congress won't meet
until January. That's too late to
have effect on some 1949 crops, like
winter wheat.
Milford chronicle., 1948-10-15

After next year the law provides
the supports may be lowered, in
most cases.
The price at which the govern
ment supports crops is based on
complicated formula. In general
this formula attempts to tie crop
prices with the farmers cost of
living. If the prices of the things
he has to buy go up, so do the sup
por tprices. If farmers costs go
down, so do support prices.
After 1949 the law also provides
that the more abundant the crop,
the less support the farmers will
receive, as far as most crops are
concerned. This will tend to reduce
unreasonable surpluses, agricul-
ture experts say.
Agriculture experts say price
supports aren't respOnsible-or at
least entirely respOnsible-fOr high

WHAT 1T MEANS:
FLOOR FOR FARM PRICES
Rr ROBERT E. GEIGER

WASHINGTON - The price of
food is high, and yet the govern
ment is guaranteeing the farmer a
minimum price for 20 major crops.
Most farmers understand the
principles behind price supports
but not so all the city folks with
grocery bills to meet.
The farmers know, for instance,
that while the government was
guaranteeing a certain price for
some crops in the past few years,
il was seldom that the market
price fell below the guaranteed
price. So the government seldom
had to step in with heavy support.
Attempts to stabilize crop prices
bv artificial means date back many
wears. At first farmers tried to do it
by cooperative methods, by agree
ing to withhold products from
markets so there would be a scar
city and prices would stay up.
! During the Hoover administra-
/ tion the Agricultural Marketing
Act of 1929 was passed in an effort
to keep prices from falling because
of farm surpluses.
The government bought grain in
an effort to keep up the farmers
Drices. Then the Democrats came
to power and passed the Agricul.
tural Adjustment Act of 1888. Far.
mers agreed to limit the size o.
crops in return for benefit pay,
ments. The government attempted
to finance these payments through
taxes levied against food process
sors, but this was held uncOnstitu
tiOnal i'll 1886.
The government then began pay
ing farmers out of general reve
nues, raised by taxation and Othe
means.

Rifles Canned,
G. Is to Dodge
COsTnOline Mess
Bv Associated Press

By Associated Press
PITTSBURGH - Rifles-like ra-
tiOns-will come to American sol
diers in cans. One of the latest con-
tributiOns of the steel industry to
the armed forces sees extra rifles
and carbines being canned for la
ter use.
Army spOkesmen said use of
steel in barrel-like containers elm
mates the need for coating new or
stored arms in the cOsmOline
grease of World War IL. That ma
terial kept many a G l. busy for
hours as he sought to put firing
arms in operating use.
/ In the future, G. is will get small
arms the same way they get pork
and beans-with a can opener NThe
opener is still in the experimental
stage but is apparently will look
/ like a giant version of the familiar
kitchen tool. Two circular cutting
wheels will travel around the in
side of the flange on the lid, expos
ing in seconds the stored pieces.
Army officials said the plastic en-
yelOpe technique used to store can
non, airplanes and battleships
would not do for small arms since
the latter must be able to stand
rough treatment on trains and
ships
The Springfield, Mass, armOry
, now is packing 5000 carbines anC
rifles a day in 300 barrels. The same
technique can be applied to auto
matte pistols, sub-machine guns
/. and Browning automatic rifles.
To make the firearms ready fOl
instant use when the steel can il
opened, the pieces are cooked" il
, kilns which remove most of thu
: moisture from the wooden stocks
r Slings are dehydrated separated,
= in another oven and the weapon
g are delivered to the canning plant
= Carried on a cOnveyOr, the rife
- and caPbines are bathed in a clean
e ing solvent of naphtha and in
rust preventive. The next step
e the drying oven, where racks ar
e made to hold the carbines insid
5 the cans.
h Packed in each can is enough {
i a desiccant moisture absOrber
o called silica gel to drink up tn
p moisture packed in the can wit
e the rifles Otherwise, moisture i
s the air would attack the gun meta
After the can is welded close

en- driving, many cases are still
being reported in the local area.
Several were given the usual 30

forfeited collateral of $525 when
he failed to appear for trial, and
several other cases were pending
according to latest reports.
Elkton - A statement, unani-
mously adopted by the teachers,
was read at a PIT. A. meeting
held at Elkton High School recent
ly. The teachers strongly objected
to what was termed interference
with the administrative activities
of the school by officers and COM
mittees of the organization and al
legged that at least a faction had
attempted to secure the dismissal
Of certain teachers by highly I'M
professional and unethical means.
By such actions, it was stated that
the teaching staff has suffered to
the extent of creating an unhealthy
school situation.

plays, with placards reading "Ban-

Housewives are advised that
foods in plentiful supply include:
Citrus fruits, cabbage, caulifiower,
celery, lettuce, Irish potatoes, can
ned citrus juices, canned peas Of
the lower grades, canned sweet po-
tatoes, canned tomato products,
dried fruits, fruit spreads, honey

"by the use Of diet, medicine,

least 100000 males in the United
