fTeTt OF Truman statement on
Page A-6)
By Gornett D. Homer

President Truman yesterday
blocked 10-group expansion of
the Air Force and his action was
expected to stir bitter resentment
in Congress.
In the face of a 305-to-1 House
vote for a 58-group Air Force and
forced Senate approval just before
adjournment of the last session of
Congress. Mr.. Truman ordered
freeze on more than $615,O00, 900
voted for purchase of new planes
to expand the Air Force.
Using this money now. Mr..
Truman said. would upset his
balanced security program" and
start an Air Force expansion that
he implied would prove too costly
for the Nations economy.
Signs Largest Peacetime Fund Bill.
The President disclosed his &C
ton in a statement announcing
his signature of the largest peace
time military appropriation bill
in history. providing s15.585, $685.
1913 for the Army. Navy. Air Force,
National Security Council, Ma
tional Security Resources Board
and Office of the Secretary of
Defense for the fiscal year end
ing next June 80.
He said he was directing Sec
rotary of Defense johnson to
place in reserve" the amounts
voted by Congress for increasing
the structure of the Air Force.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
glnia, who has led fight to cut
Federal spending. praised the
Presidents actions. Some Re-
publican lawmakers were critical.
Brewster Attacks Truman.
Senator Brewster, Republican,
of Maine, said Mr.. Truman had
shown "a certain disregard for the
conclusion of Congress" The
Presidents action. the Associated
Press reported Senator Brewster
as saying in Bangor, Maine, raises
the question, What are the limits |
of his disregard of Congress-"
Chairman Cannon of the House
appropriations Committee sent
vord from his home in Missouri
"lat his group would bow to the
'esires of the Commander in
Chief. Hes in a position to
Understand the situation better
IAN we are" Mr.. Cannon said.
Chairman Mcclellan of the
2nate Appropriations Committee
id he has no doubt that the
resident has complete authority

tunds.
This is one time am in COM
plete accord with the President"
sid Senator Byrd, who often has
Eeen at odds with Mr.. Truman
On other issues. LAS far as econ
omy is concerned, it is a move
in the right direction" He added
that the move involves no threat |
to national security because the
Joint Chiefs of Staff recommend
only 48 groups"
Second Such Action.
This was the second time that
Mr.. Truman has blocked AirI
Force expansion plans pushed by
air power proponents in the
House.
Last year, over opposition from
the President, the Army and the
Navy, Congress appropriated
money for a start on building
the Air Force up to 10 groups,
adding 1882 900, 900 to the amount
Mr.. Truman asked for the Air

Chamber Backs
 FShermen's Stand

The Kodiak Chamber of Commerce at the regular meeting Thursday, voted to adopt a resolution of the United Fishermen of Alaska, which is urging the Bureau of Fisheries to extend the pro- posed fishing season for 1850.
 Pat Cannon, president of the UFA, gave a report to the chamber of the Seattle hear ing of the bureau and urged the chamber to adopt the unions resolution.
 Under the proposed dates for commercial fishing in the Kodiak area, fishermen would only be permitted to operate for II days" Cannon declar- ed.
 He also pointed out that the fishermen on the island aver aged less than $500 per man the past season.
 He said final word on the length of the season here would depend on members of the Bureau of Fisheries in Washington.
 Members of the chamber voted to reject a proposal by

the Seattle c of c that the local group support a move to amend the present treaty be- tween Canada and the U. s. on the Hay up period" in the halibut seasons.
 The Seattle group wished to shorten the inactive period. Members of the local group felt that such action would benefit only Seattle haibuteers and create hardships for Alaskan halibut fishermen.
 Kodiak was omitted from a master plan for a far flung program for Alaska public air ports, V. G. Ellis, c of c sec retary, said.
 Mayor Lee c. Bettinger wired Governor Gruening ask ing why Kodiak was missed and Ellis wrote the Territorial Aeronautic and Communica- tion Commission, with a copy to the Governor, protesting the action.
 Pictures of fishing boat damage in Wednesday nights s storm, along with information blanks from individual fisher men regarding the need of a small boat harbor, will be sent to the U. s. Corps of Engi- lneers, the group decided.

Markets at a Glance

Demand-Devaluation of foreign currencies
will hamper exports and help imports, but eff
feet will not be drastic.
~Cattle-Prices for top grades probably have
passed the seasons high point.
Hogs-Sharp price decline will occur in next
two months; selling early at light weight
looks best.
Lambs Strong demand for feeder and
breeding stock will bolster prices for slaugh-
ter grades.
W~ooI-Currency devaluation has cut the
import price for foreign woods.
at-G increased export purchases,
declining receipts probably will bring further
price rise.
Feed Grain-Increasing movement of new
corn probably will cause price weakness in
next month or two.
F1axseed-Support price for 1850 crop viii
be more than one-third lower than for 1949
crop.
Seeds-Crop reports thus far indicate mod
crate to light supply for 1850 planting season.
Feedstuffs-Oil meal prices probably will
round seasons low point in next few weeks.
Hay-Steady to slightly higher prices are
probable in fall and early winter.
Dairy production prob
ably will cause small late fall price rise.
Eggs-Prices probably are near top for sea-
son; late fall decline is likely to be rapid. ).
Poultry-Continued heavy supply will hold
prices on relatively low level for next two
months.
Potatoes-Price weakness in early fall fol-
lowed by moderate winter rise is probable.
A~pples-Heavy offerings probably will keep
prices under pressure during fall.

Market Outlook
By GILBERT GUSLER

ticularly of lard. Currently, medium
weights are bringing a small pre-
MUM, but the market is likely to
decline considerably more than this
premium while the weight is being
added.
The governments support pro-
gram will aim to maintain the
monthly U. S. farm price average at
the support level instead of at fixed
prices each week at each individual
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-10-01

market. The support price, which is
$18.25 per cwt. in the last week OF
September, will drop about 40 cents
a week in October and November.
LAMBS -Prices probably will
fluctuate near recent levels and may
decline temporarily to new lows for
the season in the next month or SIX
weeks. Supplies of lamb meat will
pass the peak for the season in this
period and production of other meats
will increase. Active demand for
both feeding lambs and breeding
ewes will prevent much decline in
slaughter grades. Both the cornbelt
and wheat pasture areas want feed
er lambs. Offerings probably will be
the smallest in many years.
WOOL-Devaluation of the pound
and the resulting break in Boston
prices for Australian woods and in
import prices for foreign wool goods
probably will prevent improvement
in prices for the domestic clip and
may cause a moderate decline.
About one-half of the d~evaluation
has been offset by a rise in wool
prices in Australia.
Domestic stocks of wool are in
adequate and increased imports will
be necessary in the next six months.
WHEAT - Further moderate adj
vance in wheat prices is probable
during the next two or three months.
Government buying for export was
stepped up sharply in mid-Septem-
Der and probably will continue larg-
er than during the summer. Re-
ceipts at primary markets Will con-
tinue to decline.
Growers probably will sell stored
wheat reluctantly until prices are
moderately above the loan value
Mill demand is likely to be active
during weak periods. However, de-
valuation of foreign c~urrencies ha.
made our wheat more costly abroad
and along with the use of SITS, 900,
900 of ECA funds to finance British
purchases of Canadian wheat, cast
doubt on attainment of the goal o
exports of $50, 900 900 bushels. If ex
ports do not approach that figure
further price advance may be quit
limited.
FLAxSEED-Prices probably vii
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-10-01

crease our imports of foreign goods
and make it harder than before to
sell American goods abroad. Its eff
feet on our exports will be mini
mized, however, by continuation of
Marshall plan funds and other gov
eminent loans and grants, which
have financed over one-third of our
total exports in the past year.
Rising prices for import products
in foreign markets will offset part
of the cut in foreign c~urrencies and,
to that extent, will hold down i'm
port pressure. Most of the change
probably will be quickly discounted
in domestic markets.
While the decline in business ac-
. tivity and commodity prices under
way since last fall probably has not
reached bottom, signs continue to
indicate that the turning point is
likely to occur materially above pre-
war levels. Industrial production in
August was about II percent lower
than a year ago and the lowest for
that month since 1941, but is so per-
cent above the 1859 level.
Owing to wage increases and ex-
pansion in non-manufacturing en-
ployment, non-agricultural income is
down very slightly from last year
and is about treble prewar. Farm
ers' cash receipts from sales of their
produce also are about three times
the 1859 level, although this
years January-September total is II
percent below the record rate of
last year.
CATTLE Prices for top grades
probably have passed the top for
the season and are likely to follow
a gradually declining II for the
next six months. However, limited
numbers of long fed steers probably
will continue to sell at rather lofty
prices until early winter.
Prices for short-fed and warmed
up steers, grass fat cattle, and COM
mon, cutter and Gamer grades are
likely to be weak in the next month
when receipts will be around the
peak for the year and competing
supplies of pork will be increasing.
Good feeder demand will give some
support and will prevent any ex-
treme decline. Storage demand for
beef sausage meat will help to sus-
tain prices for the big run of low
grade cows which usually arrives in
October and November.
Stocker and feeder prices prob
ably will weaken slightly as fin.
fleshy cattle for short-feeding be
cause of the abundance of feed anc
current high prices for granted
cattle will prevent any extrem'
drop in the next month or six weeks
Buying of calves and thin yearling
suitable for carrying through tn
winter also is likely to be broad
Contracting on the range has bee
fairly active for several weeks
Around $40 or a little more has bee
the popular price for good yearling.
HOGS-Prices will follow a de
clining path in the next two month
Receipts will increase rapidly in tn.
period. While consumers will blu
increasing amounts of pork as reta
prices decline, storage demand
likely to be weak and devaluatio
of foreign %currencies will make e,
ports of the large lard surplus mo-
difficult.
