awarded the contract.
Work was ordered started
Immediately following pur-
chase of the 1,3OO,00O-bushel
Spencer Kellogg elevator at
Superior by the. Grain Termi-
nal association for approx
mately $1,000,000.
The 100000 bushels of extra
storage space will be ready to re-
ceive grain by July 1, Thatcher said.
This space, along with two elevators
now owned by the grain Coop at
Superior, will give Coop elevators
in the northwest about II million
bushels of grain storage space at the
head of the Great Lakes.
The Grain Terminal also operates
other terminal and sub-terminal ele-
vators in the Twin Cities, Spokane,
Sioux City, Ia, and at Shelby, Lewis
town and Great Falls, Mont. They
have a capacity of approximately
100000 bushels.
The addition at Superior, Thatcher
said, is the first step in a longtime
expansion and building program that
the Grain Terminal is now ready to
undertake. The members, he said,
authorized this program at their an
nual meetings in 1947 and 1948.
They declared in resolution that "it
will be wise for some time to devote
the savings from Grain Terminals
operations to the financing and de-
velopment of needed additional facil-
tiles"
Thatcher said that "this nation is
now going through a changing pro-
gram in grain marketing. With the
new concept of government supports
and pricing, marketing will be car
ried on in an orderly fashion the year
around, rather than as a seasonal
operation.
"The grain trade and the Co-ops
face real challenge today" Thatch-
er explained "Our present market
ing and pricing system apparently
has failed to meet the first require |
ment, that of providing farmers with
fair price for their products. AS
result the government was COM
PEELED to intervene. Starting with
President Hoover's administration
wheat was pegged at $1.25 bushel
or the equivalent of about So a
bushel today. Government has been
a steadying influence ever since"
Today one of the major problems
in making a sound price support
program work for the grain farmers
is to find place to store the grain,
Thatcher said. !.

Rejects Return
Arab Refugees
AS Solution

Washington, (JTA) = Israeli
President Chain Weizman this
week rejected mass repatriation
of the Palestine Arab refugees
as a practical solution of the prob
lem. At the same time, he sug-
gested that they be resettled in
the Tigris and Euphrates Valleys,
in modern Iraq.
Mass repatriation, he asserted
at a press conference here, would
create a new minority problem
and renew old strife" He estimat-
ed that some 100000 Arabs had
fled the country and that only
about 10000 remained in Israel
The Israeli president added: eve
begged them to STOP" He placed
responsibility on the Arab states
and British officers in Transjor-
dan who promised them that they
would return in a matter of weeks
to reclaim their property and Civ
en- false hopes of golden noun
tains of loot.
The population of Israel will
reach the million mark by year
from now, the Israeli President
predicted, adding that he would
like to see a balance between
the development of industry and
agriculture so that the economy
of the country could absorb g.
100000 homeless Jews. Those who
most urgently need homes in Is
rael are DPS from Europe and
the North African Jews.

TEL AVN, (JTA)-An overall
austerity and rationing program
designed to combat the high cost
of living and to enable the alb
sorption of the hundreds of thou
sands of immigrants arriving in
Israel was this week presented
to the Israeli Parliament. At the
very moment that the plan was
being outlined in the parliament
a new demonstration of jobless
immigrants was in progress out
side the Knesset building.
The one-year plan, to go into
effect in June if approved, pro-
vides for standard meals totalling
$500 calories daily. Besides es-
tablishing ceiling prices on COM
modities, the government will
grant subsidies to hold prices and
will free from duty imported pro-
ducts urgently needed by the Is
raeli economy. Production of lux
ury goods will be permitted for
export purposes only, with lux
ury imports completely barred.
Estimates are the program
would save the country some $780,
100000 next year, with the saw
ingS on food alone amounting to
about $4 per person.

Tucson has raised 100000 for
the Combined Jewish Appeal, far
short of the 100000 it was hoped
would be secured. In 1949 more
than $121, 900 was raised and the
growth of the city's Jewry should
assure that sum and more before
the 1949 campaign is closed.
DR.. Leonard Weiner, CJA chair
man, says the first $4,000 bor-
rowed from the bank was repaid
and on Wednesday second $685.
900 was borrowed from the bank
and presented to Pres. Chain
Weizmann at the Anniversary
Dinner in New York that same
evening. Urgent pleas continue to
be received, created by the heavy
immigration and serious housing
shortage in Israel.
A group of men who last year
gave $4,000 have either not been
contacted or have not yet given.
The drive relies heavily on get
ting substantial money from this
group. There also remains a group
of newcomers who have not yet
been seen. No more public meet
ings for funds will be held.
Women's Division has raised in
excess of $4,000 thus far and
solicitors continue to work, re-
ports Mrs. Louis Cohen.

Muscd Domestico
Give Vnginions
Trouble Again
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND. Mar. 25-The
State Bureau of Entomology be-
lieves that what is bothering some
people may be genus sarcophagi-
dae. or perhaps genus calliphori-
|dae.
Both. it seems, are more plenti-
full this year. along with musca
domestica.
To put it more simply, genus
sarcophagidae and genus CALI
phoridae are better known as
bottle flies" Musca domestica
is the plain old house fly.
The bureau pointed out that
the light winter favored the
harder speces of the fly popula-
ton. which appears to be coming
out early. Bottle flies are more
numerous than usual in many
sections of the State, the bureau
said.
To kill the insects the bureau
suggested DDT, which it said
should be particularly effective if
sprayed around garbage cans and
other places where such insects
feed

RICHMOND, Mar. 25.-The
commission studying medical edu-
cation in Virginia today had be-
fore it a suggestion that medical
and dental education be provided
for qualified Negroes at existing
institutions in the State offering
such training to white students.
The recommendation was pre-

tives of four Negro organizations

ton, Old Dominion Dental Asso-
citation, Old Dominion Medical
Association and Virginia Civil
Rights Organization.
j. Rupert Picott of Richmond,
executive secretary of the teach
ers' association, spoke for all
groups. He said he thought such
a recommendation could be worked
out satisfactorily at the University
of Virginia and the Medical Col
lege of Virginia.
I'VE do not advocate setting up
separate schools, because we think
they are contrary to the think
ing of many whites as well as
Negroes" he told the commission
He said there are Negro patients
as well as nurses at the Medical
College of Virginia. A problem Of
dormitories would not be involved
he added, in training Negro medi-
cal and dental students. since they
would not necessarily have to live
at the school.

dents have to go to Meharry Med
