Milford Bue,s Meet
.Lewes Grid Team
Here This Evening
High School Rivalry VIII
Be Renewed AT Eight
O'Clock Under The
Lights AT Ball Park.

Fresh from a IL to 0 victory over
the redoubtable Wicomieo High
School gridders last Friday eve
ming in a game played in the Wi
comico High School bowl at Sails
bury, the Milford Buc's are ready
to tackle a Delaware rival, Lewes,
here tonight at eight o'clock, un-
der the lights at Milford Ball Park
The fray which promises to draw
the largest crowd ever to witness
a football game at night here, will
be enlivened by the usual pre-
game drills, cheering led by Mil
ford's attractive cheerleaders, etc.
While Coach Jones, like the good
sportsman he is. viii not make any
statements regarding a possible
victory over the Pilot Town lads,
he has been seeing that his ch2rg-
.es are working out a defence and
an offense for all known Lewes
play combinations.
To date, the Bucs have won vic
tories over Rehoboth and Wicomi-
co, while dropping a hard fought
game to Seaford, which incidental
ly seems to be the only team the
Milford boys have found real
tough over a period Of several
years.
The game with Seaford, played
at home, was well attended and it
is the hope Of all concerned that
a large turnout Of home folk will
be on hand to witness the game to-
night 1t greatly encourages the
boys to play winning ball when
they know they are receiving the
support Of the patrons Of the
school, and other townfolk. See you
at the game.

New Plan Will Aid
FOREIGN Investment
BY the Associated Press


Secretary of the Treasury
Humphrey yesterday approved
President Eisenhower's proposal
to create a new International
Finance Corp. and said 1t would
stimulate private investment
abroad.
Mr.. Humphrey. testifying be-
fore the House Banking Com
mittee. said if the new corpora
tion is success it should reduce
the need for Government aid to
foreign countries.
The corporation would provide
capital for private business de-
velopments in free world coun-
tries where local capital is not
available.
The World Bank and the
United States Export Import
Bank already make loans to be
paid back in fixed obligations.
The new corporation is designed
to make investments more in
the nature of stock or equity
capital, where the rate OF return
would depend more on The sue
cess Of the venture.
It's investments would not be
guaranteed by the foreign gov
ernments. Mr.. Humphrey told
the committee this would fill a
needed gap and would ctiniulate
private investment abroad as
well as supplement the World
Bank and Export Import Bank.

Corn Surplus
Problem Seen
In Crop Report.
BY the Associated Press

A Federal crop estimate indi-
Gates corn-the Nations No. /
crop in point of acreage and pro-
duction volume-may soon be
plagued by the same surplus
problems as wheat, cotton, rice
and some other crops.
In its first major 1855 produc-
tion forecast, the Agriculture De-
partment said late yesterday the
years total crop volume may be
second only to the record set in
1948. Corn and other livestock
feed grains contributed heavily
to this anticipated big harvest.
The report showed that much
land formerly planted to wheat.
cotton and other crops now
under Federal growing restric-
tions has been diverted to live
stock feed grains, including oats,
barley and grain sorghums as
well as corn.
If these feed crops escape
drought, heat, insects and dis
eases during the remainder of
the growing season, the result
could be accumulation of vast
stocks. That in turn could bring
a sharp decrease in price sup
ports next year under the ad-
ministration's new flexible price
support system.
Corn is being supported this
year at 81 per cent Of parity
compared with 80 per cent last
year. It could well drop to 80
per cent or less next year. Parity
is a standard for measuring farm
prices declared by law to be fair
to farmers in relation to their
costs.
The report indicated that a
good portion of the growers in
commercial producing areas
planted more corn than was al
loted them under a voluntary
restriction program. The total
acreage is about 80, 0,765 900 acres.
|or nearly S million more than
called for under the allotment
program. Growers who over
plant are ineligible for price
support aid.
