Russia Given Place
On Unit 10 Estimate
World Wheat Needs
By Malcolm lomborne, Jr.

Russia appeared today to be NOV
ing into an important role in the
International Wheat Conference,
despite the fact the Soviet delega-
ton has maintained a listening
attitude since the conference opened
on Wednesday.
There we're reports that Russia
will offer to supply as much as
200000,000 bushels annually under
the agreement. which would be con-
siderably above the United States
pledge of 180,0O0000 bushels con-
tained in the 1943 agreement. Food
and Agriculture Organization grain
experts, however, doubted that the
Soviet had anywhere near that
much wheat available for export.
Other sources pointed out that
such an offer would upset United
States plans for s2-a-bushel wheat
and might break the world wheat
market.
The Soviet Union, newcomer to
world wheat conferences, was one of
II countries named yesterday to a
committee that will draw up re-
quirements of importing nations and
available supplies for export from
producer countries. -..- .--
Argentina, heretofore a big wheat
exporter. was not named to the
committee, although the other major
exporters-Australia, Canada and
the United States-were given places
on the panel. s..a-l..r.,,,ao,., sea.
Others on the committee are
United Kingdom, India, the Neither
lands, Belgium. Egypt Brazil,
France and Italy. r. 8. Anderson,
U. K. delegate, was elected ctaix-
man Of the committee, which holds
its first meeting Monday. Repre-
sentatives of SO nations are attend
ing the conference.
Meanwhile, the thorny problem Of
prices, as well as the question Of
whether a new pact should run for
four or hve years, was turned over
to the 11-nation Steering Commit
tee, which was slated to hold an
executive session today,

Most of them are old women"
Mr.. Shute said, "and many are
over 40 whom he inherited from the

The British official explained that
in Bikom territory the fertility of
the tribe is bound up in the person
of the Fon.
When I saw the old boy last De-
cember," Mr.. Shute said, 'he told
me, all I'm waiting for Is DEATH"
Mr.. Shute said the Fon told him:
There is no woman In my COM
pound who Is not here entirely of
her own free will. I will take on
no more wives unless they come
here of their own free will. All Of
them are free to leave at any time

ploding as the sweeper handled the

Postal authorities, meanwhile,
kept close watch on the mails for
the possibility of another bomb
being sent by parcel post. Postal
Inspector A. B. Cleveland said

been definitely established. He re-
fused to reveal the persons name

-Four postal workers were injured,
one of them seriously, when the
bomb exploded. The package con-
tanning the small bomb was ad-

had the package in his hand when
it exploded, suffered the loss Of his

Popping The Question" Idaho Style

The romance of Representa-
tives Edwin Snow and E it h

lature has treasured a whole ma
ton that the dreams of its youth
were valid, and t h q t its aspira-
tons 8 till transcend audit by a
certified p u b Ii c accountant OF
classification by an theological
expert. Harold Bell Wright would
have loved it. Booth Harrington
might have written it.
On the floor of t h e House at
Boise the gentleman from Adams
rose and said: I wonder il
the lady from Ada would yield to
a question" Representative Mil
Ter rose and replied: 'I'll yield,
but only to the question, a d !
won't promise an answer" The
gentleman from Adams said:
g. l was wondering if the lady
from Ada would consent to marry
me-" After some reported (un-
gallant word) bushes and a tenn
porary disappearance from the
House chamber, Miss Miller re-
turned and, "on a point of per-
sonal privilege" accepted Mr..
Shows proposal.
It may be of some current in
terest to the Con gres 8 of the
United States that there was no
filibuster at Boise. Nor was there
any hedging as to the extent of
the commitment. as recently oc-
Cured in Washington discussion
of the Atlantic Pact. On the con-
trary. the whole thing was done
with style, and every American
reading of it will feel that t h e
American way is not just surviv-
ing but is in every important whit
intact.
Even t h e lived-happily-ever-
f t e angle seems to be taken
care of: both Representative Mil
Ter and Representative Snow are
members of the a m e political
party. And we are sure that even
a Democrat would wish tn e m
we'll.
