Virtual Exhaustion
OF Coffee Reserves
In Brazil Reported
Nv the ,Assoeiotsd Press

American housewives are likely
to wait a long time for any gen.
eral return of coffee prices to
September levels.
The reason for this was out
lined for Congress yesterday by
an American diplomatic official;
Brazilian reserves have virtually
disappeared, and unfavorable
growing conditions have wrecked
any chances for a bumper crop
next year.
"I don't think Brazil ever again
will be as big a coffee producer
as she was" Robert B. Elwood,
second secretary of the American
Embassy at Rio de Janeiro, told
a Senate Agriculture Subcommit-
tee investigating high coffee
prices.
Gillette Charges Rigging.
Mr.. Elwood was ordered home
to testify before the committee.
He took a somewhat different ap-
proach to the coffee problem from
that of Chairman Gillette, who
declared:
1T is just as apparent to this
committee as daylight that some
where along the line in October
and November there were Specu-
lative interests that had such an
effect on the coffee market as to
practically double the price of
coffee to the American consumer"
He added there has been "a
rigging of the market and we are
trying to find out where it is
Mr.. Elwood told the committee
there has been an unexpectedly
heavy rate" of coffee exports from
Brazil since July l. 1949.
Continuation of this rate of
exports" he continued, would
have resulted in the complete
exhaustion of coffee supplies in
Brazil before the 1850 crop would
begin to become available for
export in July of that year
Drought Prevents Bumper Crop.
Also, he said, drought in
South Central Brazil destroyed
all hope of a bumper harvest in
1880"
Finally, Mr.. Elwood testified.
Brazilian government-owned cof-
fee supplies were liquidated last
August, with a "strong psychology
ical effect on the market"
In Rio de Janeiro, Ruy Almeida.
president of the Brazilian Coffee
Exchange. denied that specula-
ton was involved in the coffee
price rise, at least as far as Brazil
is concerned.
1.-THE advance came about
naturally from lower production
and higher consumption at the
same time" Mr.. Almeida said.
Rio dispatches told of retail
coffee prices there of SO to 81
cents a pound, as compared with
little over % cents two months
ago.
Ebb in Reserves Blamed.
Like Mr.. Elwood, Albert M.
Prosterman, a Commerce Depart !
ment commodity specialist, said
the main factor in rising prices
is the ebb Of Brazilian reserve |
coffee stocks. ~..-. --.,,. !
"The day of huge coffee. sur
pulses is over, at least for the
present" he told a reporter. "Now
the demand is just about equiva-
lent to the supply"
In Boca Ration, Fla, the Ma
tional Coffee Association heard
that the United States is becom-
ing a greater tea drinking nation
than ever before.
And the little nation of Ell Sal
vador reported that it's coffee crop
this year was cut to IL per cent
below last years supply by heavy
October rains and November winds
which stripped the trees of cof-
fee berries.

The collecting of scrap Is

his tasks was said to be the

The detected couple stepped out
of the queue at the police sta

thousands arrested in the last two
weeks by Communist government
police.
The scene was repeated hun
dreds of times yesterday as an

portedly aimed at liquidating the
middle class and Matchmaking

got into the taxi the driver knew
where they wanted to go. Czechs

Everybody is frightened. Last

At Pankrac Prison the. girls
parents squeezed through the
crowd to policeman sitting
before a list of names. The
policeman told them their daugh-
ter was there and the food pack
age would be accepted.
After another long wait they
reached the reception desk and
handed over the package. 1t was
opened and thoroughly searched.
Written messages were destroyed.
"All right, that's ALL" the police
man said. You can bring an
other food package in two weeks. -
Arrests are widespread. Roman
Catholic sources reported yester-
day that Msgr. Svec. canon of
Prague's ancient St. Vitus Cathe-
dral. was among the, latest
churchmen seized. The reason
for his arrest was not known. 1t
was believed, however. it may
have been because of opposition
to the government sponsored

Along the Potomac
to Washington
By J. Glenn Beall
Congressman Sixth District

The Department of Agriculture has
announced that the decline in the
price of farm land, which started in
the west more than a year ago, has
now moved across the entire country
and predicts that land prices will con-
tinue downward for at least another
year. Department officials contend,
however, that the government price
support program for farm products
will prevent land values dropping as
sharply or as far as they did follow
ing World War |.
Administration leaders have an
nouncod that the bill to repeal FEEDER
al taXea on oleomargarine will not be
brought up for vote in the Senate
at this session of Congress. The
reason the certainty that riders will
be attached to the measure to also
repeal many of the wartime excise
taxes which, when originally imposed
the people were promised would be
eliminated within six morths after
the shooting stopped.
The Veterans Administration has
announced the refunds which will be
paid on government insurance carried
during the war will be fifty-fve cents
a month for each one thousand dol
lars of insurance held by those then
ulder forty years of age, with the
rate dropping for the older veterans
to as low as twenty cents per thou
sand dollars for those over ffty-fve
years Of age when entering service.
Maximum payment to any one voter
and will be $52800. For political
purposes the Truman Administration
is endeavoring to call these insurance
payments dividends" but actually
they are simply refunds of the over
charge made on the insurance poll
cies issued to those who served in the
armed forces during the war.
American political. financial and
business leaders are watching care
fully the repercussions from the
widespread devaluation Of foreign
currencies, which have followed
Britian's announcement cutting the
pound sterling from $4.O3 to $3.50,
and are endeavoring to forsee future
effects. However, it is already being
predicted that as result of the de-
valuation of foreign currencies:
An election will soon be forced in
Great Britain in which the Labor
Party will probably lose control of
the British government.
More foreign produced goods will
soon be sold in the United States at
lower prices, while less American
commodities will be sold abroad at
higher prices.
