Young Cattle Bringing
Record High Prices
On Midwest Markets
By the Associeied Press

CHICAGO, Sept. g. Young
cattle are bringing record prices
today at Midwestern livestock
markets.
These are the cattle-called
stockers and feeders-which are
bought as they come off the
ranges by Midwestern farmers. A
heavy diet of corn then turns the
cattle into steers yielding good
and choice meat.
In order for the Midwestern
feeder to come out even or bet
ter, he must sell the cattle at a
price higher than that at which
they were purchased, plus the
value of the corn poured into
them.
High Prices Reported.
The production and marketing
branch of the Agriculture Depart
ment, in its survey of the. live
stock markets for this week. to-
day said. demand for stockers
and feeders continued broad
throughout the period and closed

prices around the highest on rec

pounds) for some choice $685.
pound stock steer calves at
Omaha, with bulk of the good and
choice grades reported from $50
to $35 at other important Mis-
souri, River markets.
Similar grades of stocker and
feeder steers sold from $27 to $33
over the market circuit, although
the bulk consisted of medium and
good grades from $25 to $29.50."
The agency gave no eXplana-
ton for the advance, but traders
at the livestock market here tied
it in with the prospect of much
soft" corn in the Midwest this
year.
Corn Failed To Develop.
Relatively low temperatures
have kept corn from developing
as rapidly as normal. AS a re-
suit, an early or even normal frost
will catch the crop before it has
fully dried out-resulting in soft"
corn with a high moisture con-
tent.
This corn sells at considerable
discount at commercial markets,
and, in addition, does not keep
well. Because of its poor keeping
quality, much of it will not be
eligible for storage under the
Governments price support loan
program.
The best outlet for such corn,
livestock men said, is feeding on
the farm, and they thought pro-
ducers were bidding up the price
of feeders and stockers in order to
have an outlet for such corn.

Mccarthy Says U. 5.
Dumped Munitions
For Chang into Sea
By The Assoeioted Press

PORTAGE. Wis, Sept. o.
Senator Mccarthy. Republican, of
Wisconsin, charged tonight that
10000 tons of United States
arms and ammunition destined
for China was taken from Indian
ports after vi Day and dumped
in the Pacific Ocean on State De-
partment orders.
Similar destruction, he said, also
befell captured German NUM-
tions which had been earmarked
for the Chinese Nationalists by
the Joint chiefs of staff after We
Day.
The order destroying the Ger
man material. Mccarthy said,
was issued by Lauchlin Cufrie,
then President Truman's admin
istrative assistant.
A State Department spokesman
said in Washington there was no
comment tonight on Senator Nc
carthy's charges.
Addresses Republicans.
Senator Mccarthy made his
latest attacks on the administra-
ton in a speech prepared for the
Columbia County Republican
Club.
"It has been proven beyond
question" he said, that disciples
of Moscow working in our State
Department and cloaked with the
authority of public Office have
sowed the seeds of world chaos,
and have softened us up for Com
munist conquest"
He named Secretary of State
Acheson and Philip C. Jessup,
United States rowing ambassador
as members Of the State Depart
ment crowd who are responsible
for disaster for America and sue
cess for Russia in the Pacific
General Admits Arms Dumped.
Senator Mccarthy said he had
a copy of a letter from Maj. Gen
Edward Witsell, Army adjutant
general, admitting the dumping
OF munitions in the Pacific.
"Of course" he added, there
is the usual double-talk. You find
the claim that the ammunition
was corroded-that it was i'm
properly stored. Now I was in the
Pacific and I can assure you that
we just did not store 1,000-pound
bombs where they could be ruined
by corrosion - not unless YOU
wanted to be court-martialed."
