covered 2,125 doctors in eight

came from doctors in Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois. Michigan, Pennsyl-

They said the consensus boiled
down to this:
There is no widespread belief

DR.. Fry said the conclusion was
based on 556 replies out of the
763 answers to the Institutes
questionnaire. Answers not used,
he said, were from areas with few
television sets or where reception
was poor.
Some doctors said a few patients
complained of eye strain from
television. The total averaged
about 3.41 per cent, DR.. Fry re-
ported.
But most of the troubled tele-
vision viewers complained soon
after they got their sets and their
difficulties tended to disappear
with continued use. DR.. Fry re-
ported.
He said most Of the complaints
came from people over go who
used multi-focus glasses and view
ers suffering from eyestrain.
About 80 per cent Of the doc
tors answering the QUESTIONABLE
said they were prescribing tinted
or special glasses for viewing tele-

Winter Wheat Report
Expected 10 Cut Crop
To Lowest Since '43
By the Assoeioied Press

A Government crop report to-
day is expected to take sizable
slice of the official forecast on
the size of this years winter wheat
crop. Dry weather and insect
pests have caused new damage
since the last estimate month
ago.
The igRort is scheduled to be
issued ats pm, Eastern Daylight
Time, by the Agriculture Depart
ment's Crop Reporting Board.
Winter wheat production
which makes up about three
fourths of all wheat grown-looks
now as if it will be the smallest
since 1943. when 537 million
bushels were harvested.
But a large reserve from the
past two years will assure the
country of sufficient grain to meet
its domestic and export demands.
A month ago the department
forecast the winter wheat crop at
764 million bushels-a reduction
of 121 million bushels from its
forecast of last December. Private
quarters expect today's report to
cut the estimate still further.

Bakers Strike Averied;
NLRB 10 Decide Issue

The AFL bakers union and
the Continental Baking Co. have
agreed to let the National Labor
Relations Board decide whether
contract bargaining will be on a
company wide or plant-by- plant
basis.
This agreement, announced late
yesterday by the Federal Media
ton Service, averted a strike that
had been threatened for last mid
night.
Local 119 of the bakers union
in Washington and the company's
plants here were not affected by
the national unions strike call.
They have carried on contract
negotiations for many years
through the Washington Employ
ing Bakers Association.
The dispute involving union
employees in many of the COM
pany,s plants in SO cities centered
on the unions demand for bar
gaining on a national basis.
Federal Mediation Director Cyrus
Ching said the agreement pro-
vides that the company will with
draw all unfair labor practice
charges against the union. New
contract talks will be resumed
and the bargaining issue will be
left to NLRB, he explained.

Israel Land Owner
RequestedToR Register

Americans who own land in
Israel are requested to register
with the Consulate of Israel, 208
w. 9Th Street, Los Angeles IA, Cali
fornia, their names and addresses
the number of the block or parc&,
of land they own and to submit,
if possible, also the registration
number in the Land Registry or a
copy of the deed. The reason for
this request is that according to
Israel law, land owners are liable
to fine of 20% of the tax value
if the taxes are not paid on time,
and American land owners in Israel
are, therefore, liable to incur fl
nancial losses by their failure to
pay accruing taxes on time. AS
the addresses of many American
land owners are unknown to the
Israel authorities, there is possibil-
ity, at present, to inform them in
time Of taxes falling due.
