Shipments 10 Reds
Will Be Curbed Now,
0'Conor Predicts

Tighter controls "all along the
line" to prevent strategic mate
rials from reaching Red China and
other Communist areas were pre-
dicted today by Chairman O'Conor
of a Senate Commerce subcom-
mittee inquiring into the subject.
The subcommittee was told yes
terday that during the past year
more than 35 million pounds of
copper and more than 10000 steel
boiler tubes were shipped to Red
China from Japan and Germany.
The testimony showed that the
copper went around the world
from Japan to China. by way of
New York. and that some of the
German boiler tubes also were
shipped by way of New York to
China.
81 am satisfied there will be no
more copper making world
round trip from Japan to China
via the United States" said Sen
ator O'Conor, after he had con-
ferred with Defense and Com
merce Department officials.
License Controls in Effect.
Meanwhile, an order issued
80 days ago putting license con-
trolls on all exports of iron and
steel scrap from this country
went into effect today.
The United States apparently
clamped down last week on big
shipment of seemingly harmless
petroleum jelly to Red China be-
cause it can be used in the max
ing of fire bombs.
The shipment was being loaded
aboard the freighter Flying Cloud.
Army officers told a reporter
today the jelly, known in the trade
as petrolatum, can be mixed with
two other common ingredients to
produce napalm. the charge in
fire bombs like those used with
deadly effectiveness both against
pillbox type of Notifications and
against tanks.
Senator O'Conor told newsmen
he believed the investigation has
shown how resourceful Com
munist importers are in getting
the products they want" But
he added that now, with our
responsible officials thoroughly on
guard against such procedures, it
is reasonable to expect that few,
if any, strategic items, will get
through to Communist-controlled
areas"
Testimony yesterday showed
that most of the copper sent from
Japan to Communist China had
been purchased by the Kane I'M
port Co. of New York for the
North China Import Co.
Isbrandtsen Ships Involved.
Walter Spitzer. import manager
Of the Kane company, told OF
buying more than 3.5 million
pounds of 998 per cent pure cop
per-most of it while it was
aboard ships which had loaded it
in Japan.
The only ships he mentioned
as hauling the copper were vessels
of the Isbrandtsen Line of New
York. s-.
The copper shipments listed by
Mr.. Splitter were in the first half
of 1850. Exports of United States
produced copper to Communist
controlled areas have been banned
since July, 1949, but Jerome
Kohlberg, president of the Kane
company, said the copper trans
actions were in accord with Com
merce Department regulations.
Mr.. Kohlberg said, and Senator
O'Conor agreed, that nothing
brought out in the hearing showed
that the company had violated
any Government regulations.

Food Prices

crease consumer incomes. In
creaSeS in consumer incomes may
be only partly Offset by higher
taxes and other anti-infiationary
measures. Larger Social Security
benefits will permit increased food
consumption by many individuals.
Probable reductions in output of
consumer goods and perhaps some
non-durables. as well as credit
controls, will make available addi-
tional consumer purchasing power
for food"
The department, which has said
consistently that it sees no need
at present for price controls on
farm commodities, acknowledged
that prices may rise to the point
where controls could be estab-
lished" under the law on meats
and food fats and oils, possibly
with the exception Of butter.
The economic controls law
passed by Congress after the out
break Of the war in Korea pro-
hibits price ceilings on farm COM
modities unless prices go above
the level Of May 25-June Is, 1850,
or parity. whichever Is higher
Parity is a computed price de-
clared by law to be fair to farmers
in relation to prices they must pay
for what they buy. AS the price
of things the farmer buys goes up,
so does parity.
While there was still no lndica-
ton that price controls on farm
products or other items are in
prospect any time soon, officials
were expected to urge that Con-
gress broaden present rent control
authority.
Woods Returns From Trip.
Housing Expediter Tighe T..
Woods, who administers the rent
control law, returned to Washing
ton yesterday after series Of
conferences with local rent ad-
visory boards across the county.
Aides reported he will ask that
Congress:
l. To eliminate a requirement
Of the present law that local COM
munities take positive action II
they want Federal controls con-
tinued beyond December 81.
2. To give him authority to
reimpose controls over any area or
any general class Of housing If he
finds defense needs warrant it.
Rent control is one Of the items
President Truman mentioned as
needing action by Congress on its
return to Washington. Except in
those areas which take affirmative
action to continue controls until
next June 80, all Federal rent
ceilings are scheduled to die at
the end Of the year. Without
celebrating. Democratic Senate
Leader Lucas of Illinois told q
City Club of Chicago audience
yesterday, We're going to put
through another rent control bill" !"
Retail Prices to Soar.
In its forecast of what may hap
pen to food prices next year, the
Agriculture Department said that
in addition to increased demand,
retail prices will bear the brunt
OF prospective 1851 increases in
marketing charges-taxes, wages
and handling costs.
In support of its forecast of
higher retail prices in the late
winter and spring, the depart
ment said:
Supplies of such foods as
meats, processed fruits and vege-
tables will be seasonally reduced
while the consumer demand is
still strengthening. Prices of such
items probably will rise more than
seasonally. These price increases
appear likely to more than offset
lower prices for seasonally larger
supplies OF dairy products and
eggs"

FARM POPULATION, 1910 1850

The U. S. department of agricul-
ture reports a decrease in farm
population from 1910 to 1850 of over
four million. From 1916 to 1880,
the number of persons living on
farms decreased each year except
during the recession years of the
early 1905 and during 1925.
In the depression of the early 3O's
farm population rose rapidly, total
ing 800 million in 1888 The prin-
cipal reason for this increase was a
cutting down of migration away
from farms. After 1888, the num-
Der of persons on farms decreased
yearly through 1915.
During World War II the rate Of
decrease grew as large numbers of
people left farms for the cities or
went into the armed forces. By 1945
only 25.2 million persons lived on
farms.
After the war, farm population
increased substantially for two
years, but since then, the changes
have been slight. Farm population
appears to have leveled off about
halfway between its prewar size
and the wartime low.

X-Disease Appears
Among Illinois Cattle

A comparatively new disease,
hyperkeratosis, or x-disease, has
been recognized in 81 or more
states, the journal of American Vet
Urinary Medical Association re-
ports.
Reports indicate that, in some Sec
tons, herds have been decimated
and dispersed because of the eff
fects of the disease. This has hap
pened in few instances in Illinois,
but in the southern states the
disease apparently has assumed
more malignant form and consti-
tutes a more serious problem than
elsewere.
The moroidity, while unpredict-
able, may be high. Young cattle ap-
pear to be more susceptible than
older ones and the death rate
among them is higher. While in the
U. S. bureau of animal industry re-
port, beef cattle were more fire.
quently involved than dairy ami
mails, the disease has been seen
almost equally among the two types
in Illinois
The cause, as indicated by the
name "x-disease", is unknown.

Once Over Seeded

Giving the soil a "once-over"

omists.
The agronomists found that plow-

water pumping is possibly the most
valuable farm use of electricity.
On many farms, five cents worth Of

time was needed to get seed into
the ground. 1t means a saving in
time, labor and tractor fuel. Two
disking and two narrowing opera
tons were eliminated. Another ad-
vantage was that the soil had great
er water storage capacity, for the
filth was not broken down by ex-
cessive tillage.
Maintaining filth is vital in crop
production, these agronomists say,
because loose, granny soils give
good contact between the soil and
the seed. That makes it easier for
roots to reach plant nutrients, air
and water.

Now is the Time to
Look for Quality in
Whatever You Buy!

With conditions as unsettled as they are now,
there can be little justification for accepting
less than the best. What you buy today may
have to last much longer than you think!
Time was when person could buy an article
of inferior quality as "tide-me-over" in con-
fidence that it could be readily replaced with
something better later. But that time is not
today. Today it is of utmost importance to buy
the best
There is still fine selection of high quality
merchandise of all sorts. The prices of this
merchandise have not risen as much as you
may reasonably expect them to in the future.
The fact that there is already serious talk Of
imminent curtailments strongly indicates that
it would be unwse to wait any longer than
absolutely necessary to acquire the things you
have set your heart on owning. You may find,
merchandise is simply not available, and that
even inferior stuff is priced out of reach.
So look for quality. Insist on quality, even if 1t
means going without some of the things you've
wanted!
