Uncertainty Is Causing Farmers
To Close Cattle Feeding Lots

they're going to do themselves?"
The Maloneys sold what cattle
they had before and after the
first 10 per cent price rollback in
May. They didn't wait to put the
added weight on the cattle which
they normally would.
When hundreds of farmers do
this-then tens of thousands of
pounds of beef are lost to the mar
ket and the volume of beef is cut
much as a strike would cut it.
No one knows precisely how
many farmers have quit the feed
ing business temporarily. The
majority of farmers are continuing
to feed livestock but some have
put their cattle back on pasture
to wait out the situation.
Actually, the number of cattle
being fed in the Middle West is
greater this year than last year
even though marketing has been
slow.
j. S. Russell, veteran farm
editor of the Des Moines Register
Tribune, says the Iowa farmers
will have to be madder than they
already are over price rollbacks
before they will "cut off their
nose to spite their face"
In other words" he says, "if
the farmer sees a chance to make
a profit he is going to continue
to convert corn and grass and
hay into beef and pork, even
though many of them have had
or faced-losses on current oper-
ations."
What the farmer does, of course,
will depend on the profit he can
make.
The OPS contends a farmer
with another 9 per
cent cut in price, can still make
$4,000 a head on his cattle. But
there are farmers who produce
their own figures to show their
operating cots have risen so
much they can't make a reason
able profit under the rollbacks.
In thSi situation the outlook
for higher beef production and
lower prices remains fuzzy.

BONDURANT, Iowa, July S.
Texas cattlemen and Midwest
farmers deny any farm strike
against beef price controls but a
showdown in feeding and market
ing today is having much the same
effect as a strike would have.
Uncertainty over price controls
and their effect on cattle profits

OF the Beef Situation.
has created a situation in which
cattle are being held back from
the market on a wait and see'
basis. Some farmers have quit
the feeding business entirely until
they see what Congress is going
to do.
Congress has extended price
controls temporarily pending
agreement on a revised measure
1t looks as though there may be
a ban on any further beef price
rollbacks planned by the Office of
Price Sterilization.
The OPS rolled back live cattle
prices by 10 per cent last May and
was to add another 9 per cent in
cutbacks by october l as a means
of bringing down the butcher shop
prices on beef.
Waiting for Profits
But the 9 per cent cut may
never be made. This may send
beef cattle to market in increas-
ing numbers and cause a drop in
retail prices, farmers say. But
butcher shop prices aren't likely
to change much until there is a
heavier flow of cattle to the
slaughter houses.
Many farmers in the Corn Belt
have quit feeding cattle until the
price control situation is stabilized
and they can see their way clear
to making a profit.
Two farmers in this group are
D. L. and James Maloney. Their
attitude is typical of their friends
and neighbors.
The Maloney farms near here
are fertile acres in the heart of
Iowa, a State which produces
corn and other feed ideal for
fattening beef cattle.
For years, D. L. Maloney fed
from 100 to $50 head of beef
cattle. Jim fed from 100 to $50.
Usually they bought cattle. fed
them for two to four months on
corn, silage and other feed, and
then took them to market.
Feed Lots Empty.
Some of these cattle, they say,
would put on as much as two
pounds day over this period and
come out of the feeder lots as
choice and prime steers bringing
top prices.
But the Maloney feed lots are
empty now and there are reports
that many like them are empty
in the Corn Belt.
D. L. said: "I don't intend to
put any cattle back in the lots
until this thing has been settled
A lot of our neighbors got out the
same Way-or are waiting to see
what is going to happen"
Jim said: Il did the same thing.
I'd usually be feeding cattle into
August. But who's going to try
to outguess those people in Wash
ington when they don't know what

Acheson Says He Is Trying

Senator Kefauver, Democrat, of
Tennessee, asked the Secretary for
suggestions on how Congress can

the late Senator Vandenberg, Re-
publican, of Michigan, worked
with Senator Connally, Democrat,
OF Texas, and others on two-party
policy.

thing I can all the time to bring
that about, Mr.. Acheson replied.

He added that he is always glad

Mr.. Acheson also told Senator
Cain that results of this country's

have been "very successful"
He said, however. he 'tmust re-

Senator Bridges. Republican of
New Hampshire, charged last
night the administrations Ko-
rean policy boils down to "the
immoral course of kill, kill and
hope somebody will be willing to
negotiate"
Senator Bridges said in state
ment that Gen. Macarthur has
outlined positive steps for winning
the war.
But he said the American peo-
pie are confused las to why we
have suffered about 175,00O cas-
ualties in Korea and have no
administration plan to end this
slaughter"
The New Hampshire Senator
also declared that testimony at the
Senate inquiry into the firing of
Gen. Macarthur indicates that
"the State Department calls the
military tune" in Korea.
Senator Bridges demanded that
United States military planning
be removed from the State De-
lpartment and returned to the
IPentagon where it belongs"
Denied by Acheson.
Earlier in the day, Secretary
lof State AcheSon denied that the
State Department controls either
military strategy or planning.
'It is done in the Department
Iof Defense under the Joint Chiefs
Iof Staff" Mr.. Acheson told the
Senate inquiry committee.
Senator Bridges said in his
statement that administration
IwitneSses-the list includes Sec
Iretary of Defense Marshall, Gen.
Bradley, and Mr.. Acheson-have
given conflicting opinions as to
why we must try for victory" in
Korea.
The Senator, a member Of the
Inquiry group, continued:
'The ineptness, inconsistency
and distortion of the testimony of
administration witnesses has been
|highlighted on several occasions.
Sometimes the witnesses contra
dicted each other, sometimes they
contradicted themselves.
Senator Bridges said that Mr..
Acheson. in his testimony on June
4, undertook another of his
doubletalk dissertations to explain
the fall of the government of the
Republic of China in spite of vast |
quantities of American aid"
"Out Of Both Sides Of Mouth"
He said Mr.. Acheson specifically
took credit of "the aid rendered
by the United States forces in
China" during World War IT, in
planning and carrying out the
movement of the Chinese govern
ment forces into the areas occu-
pied by Japanese troops"
But Senator Bridges said both
Mr.. Acheson and Gen. Marshall
have repeatedly claimed that "the
primary military reason for the
collapse of the Nationalist armies
was the fact that they were over
extended and tried to occupy too
many cities and too many rail IA
cilitieS."

ton claims credit for planning
