1953-Crop Wheat Price
Support Set at 1921

PRICE SUPPORT at national av-
erage of $2.21 bushel to farmers
for 1953-crop wheat was announced
by u. S. Department of Agricul-
ture. Last years average was 1920
a bushel.
Price support announced is same
as minimum support announced by
Department Sept. 8, 1852, in ac-
cordance with forward pricing
provisions of Agricultural Act of
1949. Geve1s listed by counties,
Montana Farmer-Stockman, July j.
1t was stated at that time that if
the wheat parity price as of July
l, 1858 beginning of the marketing
year for the 1853 crop were higher,
support level would be increased to
reflect 90 per cent of the wheat
parity price as of July l, 1858. In
no event, Department stated, would
national average support be lower
than 1921 national average an
nounced Sept. 9, 1852.
Wheat parity price as of July l,
1858, is $2.42 bushel, as compared
with Aug. Is, 1852, wheat parity of
$2.46, which was used as the basis
for establishing minimum support
for 1953-crop wheat. Since 80 per
cent of July 1, 1858, price is lower
than $2.21, minimum price support
of 1921 announced last September
applies.
Only wheat grading No. 8 or
better, or No. or No. because of
test weight or because it contains
wheat of classes Durum and/ or Red
Durum, will be eligible for loan or
purchase agreement. Loans will be
available through January, 1854, and
will mature April 80, 1854, or
earlier on demand.

Defense Production
Wheat Marketing
Quotas Declared

MARKETING QUOTAS on 1854
wheat crop have been proclaimed
and wheat growers will soon have
an opportunity to vote acceptance or
rejection of them.
Proclamation was made July l
by Secretary of Agriculture Ezra
Taft Benson in accordance with pro-
visions of Agricultural Adjustment
Act of 1888, as amended, which re-
quire proclamation of quotas if
total supply of whest on July ex-
ceeds normal supply by more than
20 per cent.
Secretary Benson said that latest
figures show total supply of wheat,
already binned or in prospect of
being harvested, of 1,717 million
bushels. This total, largest in ma
tons history, includes estimated
carry-over of $50 million bushels
and 1853 prospective crop of 1872
million bushels.
Normal supply is 1,156 million
bushels which means that total sup
ply exceeds normal supply by 48
per cent.
No date has yet been set for
farmer referendum, decision being
deferred because of legislation pend
ing in Congress which may change
latest date on which it can be held.
This same pending legislation may
raise minimum level at which ma
tional acreage allotment may be
set, the Secretary explained, and for
that reason national acreage allot-
ment has not been set.

Alaska Steam Inaugurates
Untitled Cargo Operation
To Southeast Alaska Ports

SEATTLE-The Alaska Steam
ship Company has inaugurated a
untitled cargo operation between
Seattle and Southeastern Alaska
that has modernized the method
of handling cargo, D. E. Skinner,
company vice president and gen
eral manager, announced.
The new operation is the out
come of three years experience in
the limited cargo containers and
recent successful experiments on
vessel volume basis employing
company engineered containers
and unit loads for handling all
types Of general merchandise.
Other items of nature and size
which prevent their being moved
in this manner are handled and
slowed separately.
The containers and units are
presently loaded at, the Alaska
Steamship Company receiving
platform and are moved to ships
side by fork lift truck. The ships
gear carries them aboard where
they are slowed, also by fork
lift. In discharging the procedure
is reversed. The operation sub
jects Individual merchandise
items to minimum of handling
aboard ship, insuring a favorable
cargo return.
con the basis of our expert
ments with the untitled cargo OPP
Grafton" Skinner said, 'its prac-
ticability has been adequately
demonstrated and we are hope
full that it will achieve the effic-
iency of which it is capable. If
it does this it may be able to
offset the increased operating
costs which would otherwise have
to be offset by an increase in
freight rates in the near future"

British Socialist Accuses
Eisenhower Egging On
Chang to Attack Reds

LONDON, PA British Social
ist leader Thursday accused Presi-
dent Eisenhower of egging Chang
Kai Shek on to attack the Red
China mainland and warned
"there was a risk of spreading
the Roream war;"
Deputy Labor Party leader Her
bert Morrison opened a major
House of Commons debate by ex-
pressing apprehension that the
sudden switch in American policy
taking the wraps off the Chinese
Nationalist might lead to "con-
siderable consequences"
Citing the risks of Chang at
lacking the China mainland, Nor
riSon declared:
''Supposing he gets into diff
ficulties, suppose he is defeated,
supposing some of his troops are
surrounded, supposing there is a
naval action by Communist China
against his troops in transit -
what is the United States going
to do them?

Security Officer Testifies
Report on Suspected
Communists" Disappears

WASHINGTON, R - A State
Department security officer testi-
fled Thursday that his report on
a suspected Communist en-
ployed by the department disap-
peared from secret files.
John E. Matson, special agent
in the departments division of
security and investigation, was a
witness before the Senate Investi-
cations Subcommittee headed by
Sen. Mccarthy R-Wis).
Mccarthy has charged that State
Department files have been "loot-
ed" Of derogatory information
concerning some employees, in
Guiding some under fire in his
Communists-in- government fight.
Matson did not identify the en-
ployee concerned in the missing
report, except to say the man was
attached to the us. embassy in
Ecuador.
Matson told the senators that
he had ION several occasions"
found that documents were miss
ing from the Department. files.
He named one of them as a letter
written by Lawrence Duggan, a
former State Department official
who plunged to death from
New York City building window.
Mccarthy, questioning Matson,
termed Duggan's death "a suicide"
and referred to the official as a
man "who had been exposed-or
was under fire as a possible Com
munist.
Duggan's death plunge was in
December, 1850. Congressional
committees were digging at the
time into charges of Communist
infiltration of the government.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Up TIL e
Maine election division is charged
with conducting local option
liquor referenda in the states
unorganized townships.
Such elections are infrequent
because they are called only on
petition of the voters, but when
they do occur they present a
problem. Most of the scantily pop
ulated townships have no polling
places. In regular elections, resi-
dents go to neighboring towns to
vote
So Deputy Secretary of State
Paul A. Macdonald had his crew
design and build a voting booth
that can be dismantled and car
ried in an automobile. 1t consists
of few pieces of two-by four,
held together with bolts and wing
nuts. Green baize curtains are
thumb tackled to the frame. 1t
even has a shelf inside for mark
ing the ballots.

Hi, everybody! Gee, it's good
to be back after being washed
ashore for several weeks along
with the rest of the flotsam and
jetsam-all as a result of our
moving into our beautiful new
building and the inevitable rush
which comes to any newspaper
during the holidays. Incidentally,
we're mighty proud of our new
quarters here on East Fifth. You
might stop by when the spirit
moves you-we're pleased as
punch to show you around. Well
be having an open house one of
these days-and then we'll not
take ''no" to our invitation.
Received a very pleasant sur
prise in the mail this week-from
my old alma mater, Time, Inc.
Some of my old buddies sent me
a copy of Life's first Spanish
Overseas Edition. Felt a pang of
inconsistencies for the Time-Life
Building in New York as I
glanced through the fascinating
pages. 'Tis terrific salute to
"Nuestra razon de SER"
Speaking of Spanish, also re-
ceived a lovely Christmas card
from some very dear friends in
Santiago, Chile. Hadn't seen nor
heard from them since my New
York City days. They tell me I
have a standing invitation to San
tiago de Chile. Okay, I'll rush
right over, kids. Hmmmmmmmm
Since we're we'll into 1858, we
might stop moment and remem-
ber the words of His Majesty
King George vi: Il said to a man
who stood at the gate of the year,
Give me a light that I may tread
safely into the unknown and he
replied, Go out into the darkness
and put your hand into the hand
of God. That shall be to you bet
