 UASHINGTON- Yesterday this column published an extraordi- nary letter written by Senator FL mer Thomas of Oklahoma, Demo- crat, to Senator Homer Ferguson of Michigan. Republican, threaten ing to expose Ferguson if he did not call off his investigation of Thomas commodity-market specu- lation.
 Before he wrote that letter last Feb. 13, Thomas sent his cam paign manager, Marty Heflin, the brother of movie actor Van Hef- lin; to Detroit to. investigate Fer guson; while Thomas himself went to Chicago. Together they collect ed the pertinent facts, the memo of the stockholders, the number of shares and the official positions held by each such stockholder' which Thomas threatened to make public.
 This reference pertained to the "Chrysler Airtemp Sales Corpora ton" at Crosse Point Farms, Mich, lucrative sales agency which the Chrysler Motor Company tossed into the lap of Ferguson's young son-in-law, Charles R.. Beltz. With the public clamoring to buy ir-conditioning units, this kind of agency could be nothing short of g gold mine.
 Senator Thomas pertinent" facts though unpublished. also showed that son-in-law Beltz, though pres ident of the company, owned only l4D shares of stock. while his wife, Amy Beltz, owned five shares and Senator Ferguson's wife, Myrtle, owned l25 shares. According to Sen. Thomas information. they were the sole stockholders. Thus it was possible for Sen. Ferguson's wife and daughter to outvote the President of the firm.
 Thus, also, Mrs. Ferguson ap- peared to be the largest benefic- iary.
 Thomas also collected informa- tion purporting to show that Myr- tie Ferguson, the Seniors wife, had been designated as the resi- dent-agent for Airtemp in Wash ington, which indicated that the company either did business or tried to do business with the Gov ernment GA Senator is not sup posed to profit from any fee or business transaction with the Government.)
 Sen. Thomas also said in his letter to the Michigan Senator that he had reports as to where you have spent your summer vacations. whom with, who paid the bills, or when and how you have entertain ed here in Washington Swanky

Increase in SoIes
Also Forecast
For Next Year
BY the Associotsd Press

CHICAGO, Dec. 18.-Food indus
try experts today predicted lower
prices in 1949. They also said sup
plies would be better and sales
higher.
Views on the outlook for next
year were expressed by officials in
all lines of food including meat,
dairy, poultry, fruit and groceries,
as well as by the Secretaries of
Agriculture and Commerce. The
opinions were carried in articles
appearing in the annual food in
dustry review issue of the National
Grocers Bulletin, official publica-
ton of the National Association OF
Retail Grocers.
The men who deal in food di-
rectly with the housewives-the re-
tailers-and their suppliers told
what the consumer is likely to find
in 1949. In a survey by the associa-
ton, they said they believe prices
will be more stable in the coming
year and will be likely to decline
slightly.
More Varied Diet.
The survey also disclosed they be-
lieve that generally the year ahead
will be one Of progress marked
especially by even greater grocery
sales and a more widely varied diet
on the part of the American people.
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer,
in an article in the bulletin. said
the Nations half million food stores
are doing daily business in excess of
slo0, 900 900 and that increased gov
ernmental attention viii. be given
during the year ahead to the re-
tailers problems and those of his
customers. Imitation is one of those
problems, Secretary Sawyer believes
Danger of Imitation.
He wrote: "The dangers Of infia-
.tion are we'll understood by the re-
tail food merchant. His shop is
usually the focal point at which
consumer dissatisfaction with high
prices is most often felt. The re-
taller is the one who must pass on
to the consumer all Of the cumula-
tive price increases that have taken
place at each stage of production
and distribution, rejecting the in
creasing costs of materials, supplies,
transportation, labor and other
items"
Secretary OF Agriculture Brannan
said that more efficient marketing
techniques for the abundance pro-
duced by Americas farms will be
the continuing objective of the de-
partment in 1949.
He said the United States has
"entered the door of the era Of
plenty" and that the greatest agri-
cultural problem Is the marketing
of the abundance produced on the
farms"
Secretary Brannan said improve
ment and revision Of present distrib-
utive systems which have proven
unequal to getting abundant foods
to those who need them will be the
departments objective for 1s49.
