DAVID LAWRENCE

From the world of freedom
to the fringes of the Soviet
empire, where the living effects
of slavery and the brutality of
the tyrant may be seen, went
the personal representative of
the President of the United
States to hold aloft the torch of
human liberty for all refugees
and would-be refugees.
For Vice President Nixon, by
his journey of more than 5000
miles overseas to the heartland
of Europe. has Symbolized the
whole spirit of Americas feel
ing Of sympathy for the op-
pressed behind the iron curtain.
The origin Of the trip is in it
self commentary on the need
for wider un derstanding
throughout America of the
problems posed for this country
by the steady stream of brave
refugees who take their lives in
their hands as they make a
dash for liberty across the
border.
It was Scott Mcleod, director
of the refugee program in the
Department of State, who
came forth in the first few days
just after the Hungarian re-
volt broke out and suggested
that 5000 of the refugees be in
cluded in the quotas by in
terpreting broadly some of the
provisions of existing law and
cutting red tape. His idea was
promptly endorsed here but,
when he noted shortly after
ward the beginnings of some
criticism from quarters which
usually oppose any lifting of
the immigration bars, Mr.. Nc
Leod thought the thing to do
was to dramatic the facts of
the problem. He urged upon
underSecretary Hoover that
Vice President Nixon, who had
made 80 many successful trips
In recent months for the State
Department, should head UP a

MARKETS FOR farm products will
be under heaviest pressure of the year
in the next few weeks. Volume of crops
and livestock is at the peak in October
and November. Supplies are large this
year. The crop outturn is proving
nearly as bountiful as that in 1855 and
livestock stock production is at an all
time high. However, consumer. export
and storage demand for farm products
is stronger than year ago and price
supports are more effective. Hence, the
general level of farm prices will hold
over last years levels.
With volume of sales high, prices up,
and soil bank payments going out, farm
income will be somewhat higher than
year ago. Operating costs also are
up, but net farm income will be some
what higher than year ago.
CATTLE-PriceS for top grades prob
ably will hold at high levels for several
months. Receipts of these grades are
much smaller than year ago. The
present premium for prime cattle over
choice will encourage Iong-feeding but
about three months additional feeding
are required to make choice cattle
prime, so that the supply won't increase
much until near the end of the year.
Prices for middle and lower grades
OF fed cattle already are weakening.
Shipments of stocker and feeder cattle
into the cornbelt in the last three
months were larger than ever before
in the corresponding period and the
proportion of heavy feeders suitable
for early finish was high The spread
between feeders and fat cattle will show
finiSherS quick profit. Memory of
losses from holding last fall and early
winter will cause many finiShers to sell
early this season. Hence, supplies of
Short-fed cattle are likely to be quite
heavy by midwinter and put prices for
such cattle substantially below present
levels.
HOGS-PriceS will continue in a sea-
sonal downtrend until late November
or early December. A further decline
of So a cwt. is likely as receipts will
increase one-third or more. Hogs weigh
ing over 24O pounds are increasing and
the recent narrow price spread between
heavy and light hogs will widen. In
spite of the less favorable hog-corn
price ratio, average weights are slightly
heavier than a year ago.
LAMBS-Prices for fat lambs prob
ably will continue low in the near future
because of seasonaIly heavy supplies
and increasing competition from other
meats. Improvement is likely to be
small before the end of the year. Prices
for feeder lambs have been advancing

stocks rather than government hold
mgs. Inspections of wheat for export
since July 1 were So per cent larger
than year previous. Goal of the soil
bank program is a reduction of the
next wheat crop to about 700 million
bushels. DrOuth is delaying seeding in
much of the Southwest hard winter
wheat belt.
Placements under loan through Au-
gust Is were 1887 million bushels COM
pared with 474 million bushels a year
previous. Prices at leading markets are
already up to or slightly above effective
support levels after allowing for the
storage deduction. This may slow down
placements under support. The 1856
harvest is now placed at 967 million
bushels, up q million bushels from a
month ago. Hence, the amount that
must be placed under loan to cause
tightness in free" stocks is moderately
larger than previously expected.
FEED GRAIN-Corn prices will work
lower in the next month or two, but
other feed grains are likely to be steady
to higher with oats showing greatest
strength. Harvest of the new corn crop
is easing the tightness in free stocks
of the old crop. Increase of 1872 million
bushels in the corn crop estimate over
month ago indicates a substantial
surplus and lower harvest-time prices
than previously expected. Lack of crib
space may force sales in some areas.
Total harvest of feed grains now prom
lSes to be about 125 million tons. While
this is six million tons less than last
year, it is little more than total
utilization in the past season. With hog
numbers down, feed requirements will
be less in the season ahead, so that
there will be further piling up of sur
plus stocks. Corn prices are likely to
drop to levels that will again lead to
large placements under government
loan.
Combined stocks of oats, barley and
grain sorghums are about per cent
less than last year. Early placements
under loan were larger than in 1855.
Prices for these grains are likely to
advance moderately by early winter in
spite of weakness in corn prices.
SEEDS-Price trends have been
mostly up during harvest as crop re-
ports have continued to reveal light
production. The alsike clover seed crop

10 CoIlllleISu dC D per cent less IMAM
IN 1855 and smallest on record. The
sweet clover seed crop is about one
third less than in 1855 and smallest
since 1945. Carryovers were larger than
last year, but imports probably will be
less because of poor Canadian crops.
Total supplies of both alsike and sweet
clover appear light for normal usage
and carryover. Requirements may be
increased in the season ahead by the
soil bank program. The ladino clover
seed crop was up about 2 per cent, but
smooth bromegrass seed production
was down about one-fourth and crested
wheatgraSs about one-half from last
years.
FEEDSTUFFS-Prices probably will
be steady to easy in the next few
weeks. Output of oil meal by crushers
will increase. Demand for broiler and
turkey feeds will slacken a little, but
feed needs of laying flocks, hogs, dairy
COWS and fattening cattle will increase.
Contracting ahead by feed mixers will
help support prices. Stocking I'D in
periods of price weakness in the next
month is advisable.
HAY-Prices will work moderately
higher in the next few months. High
levels probably will be reached in the
extreme drouth area Of Nebraska. Kan
saS, Oklahoma and Texas. The crop is
estimated to be 1898 million tons, only
tour million tons less than last years
record crop, but it includes much rain
damaged and overripe hay of low feed
value.
EGGS-Prices for large eggs prob
ably will work lower during the next
few months. The government is offer
ing to buy on an offer and acceptance
basis medium-sized eggs for school
lunch and other welfare outlets. Be-
cause of abundance, mediums have
been quite low compared with large
eggs. Supplies of mediums will continue
heavy for several weeks. Whether the
government will buy enough to support
prices at current levels or higher re-
mains to be seen.
DAIRY PRODUCTS-Prices will con-
tinue to work slightly higher in the next
SIX to eight weeks. Production will
shrink little. Consumption of fluid
milk usually picks up slightly in the
fall. In August production was up about
28O million pounds, or 8 per cent, from
last year. Condition of dairy pastures
on September 1 was highest for that
date in five years. Production probably
will continue greater than a year ago.
Most of the increase in production is
going into consumption, but govern
ment support purchases of butter and
cheese in August, in whole milk equiva-
lent, were about 80 per cent larger than
in 1855. Dairymen's returns over feed
cost probably will continue near last
years levels.
POTATOES = Prices probably will
round the fall low point in the near
future. Extent of price recovery later
will depend greatly on whether a diver
sion program is put into effect. The
late summer and fall crops total about
1870 million cwt. compared with 1870
million cwt. last year. Requirements
are estimated by the US.

elimination Of overcrowding is a
major objective Of urban re-
Inewal programs. But when slum
dwellings are torn down. when
crowded districts are opened up,
when limits are placed on the
number of families permitted to
occupy a dwelling, when new
parks, Fairgrounds. schools and
streets are built families are in
evitably displaced. And these
families have to be decently re-
housed. Otherwise they will be
forced to crowd into other areas
and thereby engender new slums.
Commitments Authorized
Much of this rehousing de-
mand can be filled through the
resources of private enterprise
and the employment Of the spe-
cial FILA mortgage insurance
program under the newly liberal
lied Section 221. With the Fed
eral National Mortgage Associa-
ton authorized to make advance
commitments to purchase mort
cages insured under Section 221,
the financing of such low-cost
housing is virtually assured.
But Section 221 is not self
starting. 1t operates only when
the individual community is
ready and willing to put it to
work. To make a relocation,

BY ALBERT M. COLE

Because 1t deals with a variety
Of problems rather than with the
whole field Of housing activity,
the significance Of the amend
merts contained in the Housing
Act of 1856, as they relate to
the improvement of living con-
ditions of large numbers Of our
people, is apt to be overlooked.
Nevertheless, the provisions Of
fering better housing opportuni-
ties for the elderly, for the i'm
provement and conservation OF
our existing homes, and fol
other purposes constitute impor-
tant additions to our housing
programs which are necessary to
the fulfillment Of our overall
housing goals.
One of the most significant OF
these new measures, in my judy
nnent. is the liberalization of the
provisions known as Section 221
Of the National Housing Act
the special FILA mortgage in
surance designed to support pri-
vate production of housing, new
or rehabilitated, at low cost for
families displaced by the rapidly
expanding action in our commu-
mites to clear slums. renew COM
munity patterns. and provide for
future growth.
Aid to Low Cost Jobs
Section 221, as enlarged and
liheralized by this act, is now a
