Dnlw Z. 18i3 PAGE EIGHT Wheat Reaches Seasonal Peak Oats, Barley, Rye Rise; Bad Weather Harms Prospects By WILLIAM FERRIS CHICAGO, Dec. WiSV-Wheat displayed a firm undertone today on mill buying, an advance of a cent in national farm parity and more unfavorable crop reports from the southwest. Both the De cember and May contracts moved to new seasonal peaks. The strength in wheat was re-, fleeted in gains for oats, barley and' rye despite reports oats and barley prices might soon be "froz en" until permanent ceilings are announced. At the close wheat was -l higher, December $1.64-H, oats were up H-l cent, December 77 rye was ahead -, De cember $1.16-A, and barley was y- higher, December $1.17. Although mill buying was only moderate in today's market, many traders expected it would expand considerably now that flour sub sidies are in operation. ; Parity of wheat on the farm was raised to $1.48, as of Nqv. 15, from $1.47 a month earlier. Trad ers" said this advance was of some ' significance inasmuch as hard wheat ceilings, when and if an nounced, cannot be set below par ity. ! The lack of rainfall in southern , Nebraska and western Kansas has produced a critical situation, the weekly weather bureau report said. Grain men are convinced the government's 1944 winter wheat goal will not be met because of -unfavorable weather conditions. Fox and Mink Show Displays Competition Keen competition was exhibited at the Salem Fox and Mink show sponsored by the Salem unit of the Oregon Fox and Mink asso ciation November 29. It was the second annual show held at the Stacey mink farm near Liberty. , There were 67 mink entered from all parts of the state of Ore gon. Seventy five per cent of the mink were black and the remain der were new mutation types, namely blonde mink, and silver sable mink. Seventy silver foxes and muta tions were shown with the larger portion of animals being whiteface and platinums. i Several blue foxes were entered with one entry coming from South Dakota. The animals were brought from different districts of the state of Oregon and the ribbons and tro phies were well distributed throughout the state. A turkey dinner was given at the Marion hotel in the evening with Mike Dederer of the Seattle fur exchange as the speaker, and Eugene Finlay, president of the Oregon State Fox and Mink asso ciation acting as toastmaster.

J. Flanagan of Boys Town today blamed parents for the mounting misdeeds of their offspring. Parental neglect is the chief cause of a fact-increasing wave of juvenile delinquency, Flanagan told a special senate subcommit tee. "Let's keep the mother in the kitchen where she belongs," urged Father Flanagan, founder and di rector of the nationally-known home for boys near Omaha, Neb. - "The present war is being fought primarily for future generations, and it would be a hollow victory indeed if we were to sacrifice our children in the process of win-: ning it, he declared. A mother renders more inval uable service to her country right in the home, than the most skilled riveter or machinist could ever contribute." Portland Produce PORTLAND. Ore..

Dec liPV-R- versing: the course it followed inrougn a good part of November, the stock market today advanced over a wide front to show final gains ranging from fractions to around 2 points in the pivotal groups. Pickup in buying was in the face of continuing confusion of speculative thought over pos sible repercussions of decisions reached at the United Nations conference at Cairo and those to be evolved at the reported Roos evelt-Churchill-Stalin meeting in Iran. The move was considered nor mal rebound, however, in view of the market's substantial loss of ground in the last few weeks. The , Associated Press 60-stock composite rose .4 of a point to 47.5.

Beer Bottles Trick Nips Aid Victory WASHINGTON, Dec. 1 -yP) The US navy has added Japanese beer bottles to its weapons of war fare. . : The navy told today how pilots of 15 marine scout planes used the bottles to trick the Japanese near the Solomons. The ' bottles were dropped on the decks of Nipponese warships,' excited the gun crews into firing and reveal ing their positions, then US U-T boats skimmed in close and by the light of the gunfire unloaded their, deadly -torpedoes, i ' :; .The trick helped break up Jap anese attacks' on Guadalcanal. -The navy scouts who conceived it were praised by Vice Admiral John S. McCain, deputy chief of naval air operations, at a cere mony at which Lt George W. Polk of New York City was pre sented a copy of a presidential citation awarded his division.

Chinese Rally In fRice Bowl' CHUNGKING, Wednesday, Dec. l.-iPy-A general improvement in the critical "rice bowl" battle in northern Hunan province was in dicated by the Chinese high com mand today in a special commun ique reporting the recapture of several towns and the seizure of a large quantity of war supplies. It said the city of Changteh was "Still firmly in Chinese hands" in the midst of bloody street fighting. The Chinese said they had re captured the highway town of Ta oyuan, J miles southwest of Changteh, and wiped out the Jap anese garrison there. The town of Shihmen, 40 miles northwest . of Changteh, again passed into Chi nese hands after having been cap tured and lost, Two Unions Join Fight on Seaman . 'Physical9 Ruling SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1 -OP) Two more maritime unions today joined the Sailor's Union of : the Pacific in defiance of a war ship ping administration order requir ing merchant seamen to submit to special WSA physical examin ations. Harry Lundeberg, secretary of the SUP, had described the new WSA order as "just a subterfuge to ; ' eliminate old-time seamen." The WSA said the medical exam inations were necessary to pro tect the armed forces from con tagion. But Lundberg said j the seamen already1 are examined by doctors of steamship lines and by the US public health service phy siaans. ' , - .- v - . . Today ;the masters, mates and pilots, through Charles May, pres ident, sent a telegram to Edward Macauley, administrator of -WSA, stating "we will definitely back" up the position taken by the' Sail ors' Union of the Pacific, in 'op position to your proposed general order. . . The system nowj n effect has worked for years land Is all that is required, in our opin ion."

The farm leaders, Edward A. O'Neal, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, and Al bert S. Goss, master of the nation al grange, presented their demands for an end to the price cutting pay- fments before the senate banking committee. Almost coincidental with their testimony; the broadest consumer price program yet adopted was im plemented with the announcement that the Defense Supplies corpora tion will begin tomorrow payment of miller subsidies on wheat to hold down the price of bread. The cost is estimated at "No more than $9,000,000 a month." Goss, appearing before the com mittee in person, urged congress to open the way for "increased production" on farms by letting prices rise. "Food will hold down prices not law," he said. Gossi countering administration arguments for the S800,000,000-a-year subsidy program, contended that the way to take off inflation pressure is to let farm prices keep pace with demand and siphon off excess cash through taxes. 5i -0 .20 POULTRY" All hens .

Germany's Plane Output Reduced STOCKHOLM, Dec. 1 (JP) The Stockholm newspaper Afton tidningen, quoting SA (storm troop) operational quarters, said today German fighter plane pro duction had dropped from a peak of 120Q in April to 700 in October.
