The
World
Today
BY DON WHITEHEAD
(For James MarIow)

WASHINGTON R-Adlai Steven
SON and bis lieutenants have COM
pleted one of the most subtle and
successful campaigns of recent po-
litical history with the election Of
Paul M. Butler Of Indiana as
Democratic national chairman.
The choice of Butler is in reality
the climax of a two-year drive
by Stevenson to overhaul the party
machinery, heal old wounds, wipe
out campaign deficit Of some
100000 and restore the unity
which was shattered in the cleo
ton Of 1852. Al
In this period, the party's GEN.
ter of gravity has shifted from
former President Harry S. Tru-
man to Stevenson, who is now by
all odds the party's strong man.
And perhaps it was planned that
way by Stevenson.
But the important thing politi-
cally is that Stevenson has
achieved his goals with no loss of
political face for any faction in the
party He has left no apparent
wounds to be healed or untidy
messes to be cleaned up later. His
popularity appears to be high IN
the South as well as in the North.
After his defeat two years ago
by President Eisenhower, Steven
son set out on his course.
Through Stevenson's influence,
his old friend Stephen Mitchell had
been named Democratic national
chairman. Mitchell was little
known on the national political
scene, but he worked hard to win
friends and influence people. And
politicians generally agree he did
a good job for his party and for
Stevenson.
Stevenson paid court to the
Southland. He soothed the South
erners, whose pride had been hurt
in the fight over the 'sloyalty
oath" in the 1852 national conven-
ton. He made friends for himself
in Dixie where feeling had run so
high against Harry Truman.
And yet while wooing the South,
he didn't snub Truman. He often
conferred with him and managed
to keep his support.
Stevenson never displayed this
political finesse to better advan-
tage than he did early last Sep
tember when Democratic leaders
met In Kansas City to plan fund
raising drive and to map cam
paign strategy.
Stevenson could easily have DOM
mated that meeting had he wished.
But instead he deferred to Truman
and encouraged Truman to take
the spotlight.
Truman RESPONDED bv u~~i-- to
party to double its campaign fund
in the fight for co.la :. :. -
AN appeal, incidentally, which
was needed and which may well
have given the Democrats the ex-
ira punch they needed to gain con-
troll of Congress.
The payoff on Stevenson's politi-
cal skill came at New Orleans last
Saturday when his choice, Butler,
was elected easily to the Demo-
cratic chairmanship with 20 Of the
national committees Jos votes.
Just about the only question left
to be answered is this: Win Ste
venson use this political finesse to
gain his party's presidential nom
ination in 1856?
A great many political experts
think he viii.

SALISBURY. England, Oct. 6
Lord Vivian stood pale and
trembling in a huShed court
room yesterday and said an at
tractive divorcee charged with
trying to murder him sis very
gentle, warm and loving"
"The whole thing must have
been an accident" the 49-year-
old London impresario told a
jury trying Mrs. Mavis Winifred
Wheeler, 40, on three counts Of
shooting him through a window
of their weekend country cot
tage July 80.
Mrs. Wheeler pleaded innocent
to charges of attempted murder,
unlawful wounding and malicious
wounding.
She sat in the. dock wearing
q gray suit and red hat, and
looked across the court at Lord
Vivian while counsel outlined
the midnight drama in the little
cottage at Devices, in England's S
rolling west country.
Still haggard from the effects
of bullet wounds in the wrist
and stomach, Lord Vivian smiled
wanly at her while lawyers read

to have written from a nursing
home.

Court Told Of Calls
From Capitol Hill on
Arrest Of Senate Aide

The trial of a chic Senate
secretary on charges of drunken
driving, disorderly conduct,
driving without a permit and
without a registration card re-
verberated on Capitol Hill yes
terday, after an Alexandria po-
liceman testified he had been
swamped with telephone calls
from officials" interested in the
case.
Mrs. Alice Canaday, "a, Of
3501 South Stafford street. Ar
lington, was arrested on the
four charges in Alexandria on
August 25. She is a secretary
for the Senate Armed Forces
Committee.
In Alexandria Police Court
yesterday. Mrs. Canaday entered
pleas of guilty to disorderly con-
duct, and having no permit and
no registration card. She pleaded
not guilty to the drunken driv-
ing charge.
Police Pvt. Robert Evans be-
gan to give the court his ac-
count of what led to Mrs. Cana
days arrest. Judge James r.
Duncan suggested the officer
was going into too much detail.
I've lost a lot of sleep an
swering telephone calls from Of
ficials interested in this case.
and I want to give the Details"
retorted Pvt. Evans.
He said he saw Mrs. Cana
days car strike a safety island
and weave about 200 feet along
Quaker lane. He testified she
was unable to walk under her
own power when placed under
arrest. and he said she cursed
him vehemently.
Mrs. Canaday said she became
upset and hysterical when ar
rested because she was con-
cerned about her 7-year-old son
who was being cared for by a
friend.
When the trial ended, Pvt.
Evans declined to elaborate on
his testimony about the tele-
phone calls and would not iden-
tify the callers.
A spokesman for the Senate
Armed Forces Committee said
he had heard nothing about any
telephone calls in behalf of the
secretary until called by report
ers. The spokesman said no one
connected with the committee
had made any calls.
Judge Duncan said he had re-
ceived no calls about the case.
He deferred imposition of sem
tence on the three charges to
which Mrs. Canaday pleaded
guilty and took the fourth
charge under advisement.

Asleson Appointed
Asst. Director

]. A. ASLESON, who has been in the
agronomy and soils department at Mon

and is absorbing the offerings at prices
nearly as high as for fat lambs. De-
mand has become quite good for breed
ing ewes.
WHEAT-Price for different classes
probably will work unevenly higher by
midwinter. Although the crop is IS
per cent smaller and prices consider
ably higher, the early movement into
the support program has been greater
than last year. Rust losses have
brought the hard red spring wheat crop
down close to domestic needs, so that a
small movement into the loan has Gre
ated a shortage of Gree stocks. Ad-
ditional impoundings will gradually
tighten up hard red winter, soft red
winter and white wheat markets.
Except for hard red spring and du-
rum wheats, however, prices for ordi-
nary protein grades probably will not

partly relieve the shortage of these
seeds. Supplies are % per cent larger
than in 1858 for smooth bromegrass
and Is per cent larger for crested
wheatgrass seed.
TURKEYS - Prices may improve
slightly as the holiday season ap-
proaches, but will stay materially be-
low last years. In spite Of heavy early
selling from the large crop, stocks in
storage did not increase quite as fast
in August as last year as consumption
at prevailing prices is relatively large.
POTATOES-Prices in October tend
to average lowest of the year because
of harvest pressure from the late crop.
Some price improvement appears prob
able in late fall this year. With recent
storm losses in Maine and frost damage
in other northern states, the late crop
is smallest since 1889 with the eXcep-
ton of 1851. The sweet potato crop
also is small. Storing normal pro-
portion of the crop and feeding it on
the market gradually will help keep
prices at satisfactory level through
fall and winter.

Markets at q Glance

Demand-Consumer and export demand for
farm products will be well sustained in the year
ahead.
Cattle-SuppIy of both fed grades and grassers
will be heavy in October.
Hogs--Main trend is still down but it may
level off soon.
Lambs-Good demand will maintain prices
for feeder lambs and breeding ewes
WOOl-British Dominion markets Stiffened aft
er recent decline.
Wheat-Movement into loan stocks will slowly
tighten ''free'' supply.
Feed GrainS-Price outlook warrants buying
corn for future feeding needs.
FlaXSeed-Large supply will prevent much
price rise above. support level.
Seeds-Reduced supplies will hold many prices
above last seasons levels.
notwithstanding up during fall price dip
is advisable.
Average farm price probably will rise
81 to So by midwinter.
Dairy PrOducts-Moderate price strength is
probable during October-November production
slump.
Eggs-Prices will remain relatively low until
flocks cut back
Chickens-Large poultry and red meat supply
will hold down fall prices.
Turkeys-Prices probably will strengthen
Slightly as holiday trade nears.
POtatoes-Moderate price rise is probable after
harvest.

rise above the loan redemption value.
The total crop is greater than domestic
needs and probable exports. Total car
ryover at the end of the crop year may
approximate one billion bushels.
World supplies of wheat also are plen-
tiful although the Canadian crop dis
aster from rust and frost and heavy
harvest losses in Europe have strength
ened the world situation. The Cana
dian crop probably is 275 to 300 million
bushels less than last year. A SUBJ
stantial portion of it is not of milling
quality. The Canadian carryover was
100 million bushels more than last year
so that Canada's total surplus for ex-
port or carryover is quite heavy. World
wheat trade this season probably will
be somewhat larger than the $40 mil
lion bushels, including flour, in the past
season. Supplies available in exporting
countries are more than double that
figure.
Support price for the 1855 crop will
be national average of not less than
$2O6 bushel or 1872 per cent of cur
rent parity, compared with 1924 for the
1854 crop. 1t will be higher if the par
ity price advances by next June.
FEED GRAINS-Prices may contin-
lie weak through the early corn har-
vest, but an uptrend is probable in late
fall and early winter.
The government has increased the
subsidy on CCC grain sold for founda-
ton herd maintenance in drouth dis
aster areas from 60 cents to 81 cwt.
1t has removed the subsidy on exports
of its corn, so that future export de-
mand may draw on commercial stocks
Restrictions have been removed or
planting of oats, barley and sorghumS
next year on acres diverted from
wheat, corn and cotton. Whether price
supports on these other feed grains viii
be lowered for 1855 is undecided.
SEEDS-Prices for leading hay an
pasture seeds are likely to averag
higher in the season ahead than in tn
past year. The alsike clover seed GRO
and carryover is 10 per cent less tina
last year and only II per cent over d.
nestle utilization. Sweet clover see
supplies are up 2 per cent but ar
only per cent over domestic usag
in 1858. Imports probably will agai

But experiments indicate cattle drink

ahead is for stability rather imam raul-
cal up or down change. Consumer de-
mand for farm produce probably will
hold near recent levels. Consumer in
come is likely to be we'll sustained.
Because of reduction of business in
ventories in the past year, industrial
production and factory employment
will be well maintained in the next II
months The momentum of current rec
ord construction activity will carry
we'll into 1855. Defense OUTLAWS and
huge road building programs will con-
tinue combined federal, state and local
spending at high levels.
Foreign demand for farm products
probably will hold up well. Foreign
countries have greater dollar buying
power than year ago and our foreign
aid appropriations available for financ-
ing exports are large Recently author
lied programs for promoting exports
of surplus farm products probably will
bear some fruit.
CATTLE-PriceS for most classes and
grades probably will be steady to weak
in the near future. The supply of fed
cattle will be relatively large for the
time of year and marketing of grass
cattle will expand seasonally. Cattle
feeding reports have emphasized that
numbers on feed headed for market
late in the year were larger than in
1858.
Marketing of graSsers r m lily
reaches its peak in October. The move
ment will be enlarged this year by sell
ing from some drouth areas where cat
tie have been using up the limited feed
supply and will have to be sold before
cold weather. Recent marketing of
COWS has been substantially less than
year ago. Gamer and cutter COW
prices are lower than last year, how
ever, and cattlemen are urging the
government to resume the beef buv.
ing program.
Stocker and feeder cattle prices
probably will be steady to slightly low
