(WASHINGTON BUREAU OF -
THE JOURNAL.) An appoint- i
ment for "the northwest delega- ,
tlon of the White House on
the grain situation has not yet
been arranged, but if is ex-
pected to be early next week. -
The northwest senators do not
look with hopefulness upon the
effort to change prices and con-
ditlons as the food administra-
tlon appears adamant and the
president will naturally ap- '
proach the suggestion of n
change with, caution when his ,
food advisors are strongly op-
posed to the northwest view. "

eif io coast has for export can be car

The Russians are occupying new po

Buckley was one of the most son-
