amount consumed annually h as
dropped from around three bushels
per person 40 years ago to slightly
under two bushels now. This drop
has just about offset the increase in
population.
(Of the 446, 000, 00O-bushel 1948
crop, the government bought over
1870, 000,0 900 bushels to support prices.
Normal utilization accounted for
only about 315,0 00, 900 bushels.)
The U. S. department of agricul-
ture set the goal for the 1949 crop
at $4,000, 900 bushels. The actual
crop is nearly 4 percent yer that
figure but the increase was mostly
in the early crop which were rel
atively large and which is out of
the picture now.
Allowing for the decline in con-
sumption, it would seem that this
years late crop is only average or
perhaps slightly below average.
Time only will tell with certainty
whether economic conditions and
consumer incomes will be better or
worse by next spring. The prevail
ing expectation is for a little pickup
in industrial activity during the fall,
but it is doubtful if bottom for the
recession has been seen. Hence, the
chances appear to be that onsum
incomes and the general level of
commodity price will be slightly
lower next spring.
Heavy Storage Likely
Since the late crop is the smallest
in several years and much storage
space has been built recently, a
larger fraction of the crop than
usual probably will be stored. The
rise of IS cents per 100 pounds from

What's the Potato Outlook?
Here Are Some Factors
That Viii Affect Market
BY GUSLER

CHANGES IN POTATO prices
from fall to spring appear to be
strongly influenced by the following:
1. The size of the crop, especially
in the late crop states. Prices have
tended to rise sharply in this period
in seasons of small crops but gains
have been small in years of large
crops.
2. The change from fall to spring
in economic activity, consumer buy
ing power and general wholesale
prices.
3. The proportion of the crop
placed in storage. If growers are
overoptimistic. they may store an
abnormally large proportion of the
late crop. This tends to hold up
prices during the harvest season but
throws increased weight on the mar
ket during the winter and spring
and tends to reduce any price rise.
4. During the spring months prices
for the old crop depend partly on
the size of the new crop in the
early states.
How does this year look, assuming
that these will be among the chief
price influences:
This Years Crop Moderate
The crop of 1863, 600, 900 bushels is
a moderate one. Since both early
and intermediate crops have nearly
all been marketed, the supply con-
sists mostly of the late crop of 276,-
100000 bushels. This is 25 percent
less than last year, 8 percent below
the 1938-47 average and the smallest
since 1899.
But ~percapita consumption of po-
tatoes has been declining. The

Dewey Says He Plans
No Move 10 Suppress
Word Peace ParIey

Gov. Thomas E. Dewey regards
the world peace" conference
opening in New York Friday as a
Communist front affair."" but
plans no move to suppress it.
The New York Governor made
his position clear in a statement
at Albany last night as the State
Department held firm in its re-
fusal to permit individual Com
munists from Western Europe and
South America to come to this
country for the conference.
Gov. Dewey said he had received
hundreds of letters" asking him
to use his influence to stop the
meeting.
Gets Many Letters.
Many Of the letters, he said,
described the conference as an
elaborate attempt to disguise .
Communist propaganda effort d.
rected at undermining the posi-
ton of the United States in world
affairs
Asserting he believed the letters
correctly analyzed the character
and purpose of the conference, the
governor said, however, that he
could not agree that it should be
suppressed.
1T is enough, I am sure" he
said, that this meeting has been
exposed for the Communist front
affair that tits"
The State Department regards
the conference as one of a series
Of moves supported by Moscow to
oppose the North Atlantic Security
Pact and further other Soviet
aims, all pointing up to World
Congress of Partisans Of Peace" to
be held in Paris next month.
"Ohicial" Visas Quoted.
The Communist point of view
will be adequately presented 1T
the conference by 81 omcial dele
gates from Russia and Soviet
satellites in Eastern Europe, the
department said yesterday In ex-
planning refusal to grant visas
to individual Communists not
sponsored by their governments.
"Ofhcial" visaS have been
granted to the Eastern European
delegates as representatives Of
their governments. The depart
ment said officials Of other ma
tions can be denied entry to this
country only If they are found
to be unacceptable.
Other sections Of the immigra-
ton laws apply to non official visa
applications. Under these pro-
visions, Communists cannot be
given q visa unless the Attorney
General makes q special ruling
that their admission would be in
the American national interest.

Eastern's Title Stock

OF Speed, Balance

Eastern Highs basket ball team
doesn't have any individual stars
with the high-scoring potential Of
Centrars Jimmy Pantos or Westerns
Bucky Poston, but the Ramblers
have the speed and balance to make
them a real factor in the District
public high championship series.
Coach Bobby Hart has turned out
a race horse outfit this season. 1t is
a well-conditioned team addicted to
the fast break that literally runs op-
ponents ragged. Another sample Of
this was given at the Armory yes
terday when the Ramblers sped up
and down the floor to stay ahead of
Western all the way while earning
a 37-33 triumph for its second
straight series win. That gave them
temporary possession of first place
in the young schoolboy race. Only
in the final minutes after they had
a safe edge did the Ramblers slack
off their killing pace.
Pantos on Rampage.
In yesterdays other game, Defend

with 50-34 triumph over Anacostia

That's one better than the 25 scored
by Westerns Poston last week. Yes

bition of all-around play yesterday
Ir addition to accounting for 26
points toward the Viking total he
played swell defensive game and
was the key man on many of Cen
trails set plays. His 10 points in
the first period helped the Vikings
to an early 1877 edge and he added
six more toward their 1921 half
time margin.
Central's Defense Strong.
Central's defenses also were ex-
cellent and Anacostia wasn't able to
tally from the floor until the game
was 10 minutes old.
Eastern's scoring chores in the
first game were well divided. Teddy
Dyer, Jim Lamon, Reds Brown and
Jim O'Donnell all shared III TIE 1913
frst-period edge the Ramblers
earned over the Red Raiders. West
ems Poston began finding the
range with his fancy shots in the
second and third periods. but he
alone wasn't able to overcome
Eastern.
The last period was featured by
tight guarding from both teams,
with Eastern controlling the ball in
the crucial final three minutes The
Ramblers didn't take a shot during
that span but were content to hold
the ball to protect their lead.
