Corner In Grain
Market Charged
In Federal Action
. CHICAGO, May 29 (UP) A
government complaint on file to
day charging four individuals
and firms with cornering the
Chicago grain market was the
most sweeping action ever taken
against such alleged activities,
according to La Salle street deal
ers. It marked the fourth time in
nearly 20 years that a govern
ment agency had brought a cor
nering charge, they said'.
The latest action was taken
yesterday by the war food ad
ministration. It charged Gener
al Foods Corp., New York; Daniel
Rice & Company, Chicago, and
fpur .individuals including .a
former board of trade president
with violating the commodities
and exchange act.
The government claimed the
individuals and companies had
manipulated the price of rye and
rye futures from December, 1943,
to May, 1944. This was said to
have resulted in a corner on the
May, 1944, market.

After the war you're not going to see strange, radically different
furniture. In fact, many of the postwar stylings are right in
our store now. Furniture designers and the entire furniture in
dustry, are progressive, abreast of the times, knowing full well
that the home will come high on the list of "musts" for the
American family's readjustment. That' why postwar stylings
in bedroom furniture can be purchased now.

the enormous volume of guns, ammunition,
food and medical supplies still needed to
finish the Japs. To produce mountains of
material takes money your money in Wax
Bonds.
This year there will be only two War
Bond drives, not three. But only by buying
aior boodg during the 7th War Loan can
two drive take the place of last year's
three. Almost a much money is needed this
year as last to fight the war.
