No Coffee Shortage
Expected Next Year,
U. 5. Expert Declares
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

BOCA RATION, Fla, Dec. "a
more optimistic picture Of the
world coffee situation was painted
for industry leaders here today.
George w. Muller. chief Of the
Commerce Departments Food Di-
vision, told the seth annual con-
vention of the National Coffee
Association that indications are
Ithe coffee supply will meet the
demand next year.
Mr.. Muller said better crop con-
ditions in Sac Paulo State, Brazil,
raised the estimated harvest of
! 2 ,0OO,0 900 or 100000 bags of 1872
pounds each and a holdover OF
| 2, $4,000 bags from the 1948 crop
lis available for export.
Present high prices in the
United States will limit retail
sales, cause less waste and to some
extent cause use of substitute bev-
erages. Mr.. Muller said.
The national economic outlook
for 1850 isn't too bad," Edwin
B. George of New York, Dun &
Bradstreet economist, told the
convention.
He said there will be definite
improvement in the first half OF
the year, but the pattern cannot
be guaranteed for the second half
"This will be the nth straight
year in which we have been un-
able to find signs Of an old
fashioned economic collapse SC
often referred to by other econo-
mistS," he said,

New Troubles Develop
In VA Plans 10 Pay
Insurance Dividends
BY the Asseeiated Press

The Veterans Administration
has run into problems in its plans
to pay veterans a $4,000, 100000
insurance dividend in order Of
their serial numbers.
Some World War II veterans.
it develops, never had a serial
number. Some had more than
one. OF those with more than
one serial number, some had more
than one insurance policy.
The first two problems have
been solved, with only one hitch:
The veterans involved can't tell
when they will receive their
money. Officials are still trying
to decide what to do about vet
erans with multiple serial numbers
and policies.
Payments to Start Soon.
For most veterans, TIE checks
will start going out in January.
with preference based on the last
three digits of the insured per-
sons serial number. The 1000"
grooup will be paid first; the 1883"
people last.
That won't apply to $4,000
former Coast Guard officers who
got along without serial numbers
during the war. They will be as
signed numbers arbitrarily from
a series never used by any service.
But they won't know what the
numbers are until they get their
checks.
Veterans who had more than
one serial number-like enlisted
men who later became officers
probably will be paid according to
the highest number they had.
!. System Is Explained.
The complications develop
when such veterans had more
than one policy. They will be
paid according to one Of their
old serial numbers, but no one
yet knows which one.
One other group Of veterans
may collect It's dividends slightly
Of schedule. It consists Of those
whose last names are more than
is letters long, and wouldn't fit
on the special tabulating cards.
Their applications will be
processed by hand, and there is
a chance they will be paid ahead
of schedule.
For the bulk of the applicants.
the first checks will start through
the mail around the middle Of
next month, with the final pay
ments coming in April, or possibly
