Rain Improves
Winter Wheat
Crop Prospects
WASHINGTON, April ,10 -)
'Marked improvement in winter
wheat prospects due to good rains
was noted today by the agricul
ture department in estimating a
1944 crop of 601,759,000 bushels
on the basis of April 1 conditions,
or 72,153,000 bushels more than
last year's production.
A gain of 175,000,000 bushels
over last fall's prospects was seen.
The most important change dur-
ing the winter was in western
Kansas and the adjoining wheat
sections in Texas, Oklahoma, New
Mexico and Colorado, where pre
cipitation off est a moisture defi
'ciency of last fall.
Nebraska was regarded as still
In the balance, survival of the
weakened plants being more un
certain and the outcome depend
ing more on ; subsequent rainfall
than in "the territory from Kansas
south.
The crop producing areas of the
country, however, have had the
wettest March since 1922, the de
partment said, adding that- either
frequent rains or snows have de
layed farm work in nearly all
states. Only in Idaho, Washington,
Oregon and in the northern two-
thirds of California the winter
drought has not been relieved,
and prospects for crops and
ranges are quite uneven "and lo
cally discouraging," the report
said.
A seeded yield of 12.8 bushels of
winter wheat per acre is indi
cated as of April 1, a half bushel
above the 1933-43 average and a
bushel less than last year.
It is estimated that slightly
more than 15 per cent of the win
ter wheat acreage will not be har
vested for grain. This is a much
more favorable outlook than in
December but is indicative of loss
ef more acreage than occurred
year ago when about 10 per cent
f the planted acreage was not
harvested for grain.
Meanwhile, reduced grain stocks
en farm on April 1, from last
year, were inevidence due to the
feeding of record numbers of
livestock and poultry. . i :
Wheat stocks were set at 217,
34,000 bushels against 325,387,000
year ago.

Supreme Court
Throws Out
Florida Law
WASHINGTON, April 10 (p)
The supreme court today ruled
unconstitutional a Florida law
making it criminal . for I a person
to obtain money by a fraudulent
promise to perform labor.
In a 7-2 opinion delivered by
Justice Jackson, the court declar
ed the law violates the 13th
amendment (prohibiting involun
tary servitude) and the federal
anti-peonage; statute.
The case involved. Emanual Pol
lock of Brevard county, Fla., whom
the court described as an illit
erate negro. Pollock pleaded guilty
to a charge of obtaining $3 from
J. V. D'Albora with a promise to
work which he failed to .tarry, out
He was fined $20 for each dol-
ar of the five, and In default of
payment was sentenced to serve
in jail at the rate of less than
nine cents ft day until the debt
was discharged.
The court's opinion said the un-
questlonable aim of the 13th
amendment and the anti-peonage
act "Was not merely to end slave
ry but to maintain a system of
completely free and voluntary la
bor." .. I i.
In another case, the court ruled
8 to 0 (Chief Justice Stone not
participating) that the national
labor relations board could order
a company to bargain with a un
ion which had lots its; majority
among the firm's employes', after
the company "wrongfully refused
to bargain. j '
Involved were the CIO Amalga
mated Clothing Workers and the
Franks Bros, company;, of Law
rence, Mass, The union at one
time claimed a membership of 45
of the company's 80 production
and maintenance employes. The
company refused to negotiate and
the board accused the company of
unfair labor practices. During sub
sequent proceedings, the union's
membership dropped to 32 but the
board nevertheless directed the
company to bargain with the un
ion. '-":-
Justice Black's opinion said the
board "Might well think" that if
it did not adopt this type of rem
edy, "Recalcitrant employers
might be able, by ; continued op
position to union members, indef
initely to postpone performance
of their statutory obligation."
Choir Sings

The blue - robed Presbyterian
choir led by the director, Virgin
ia Ward Elliott came from the

Risen" Organ music i was provid
ed with an electric organ.
The crowd which came out to
attend the service was not as large
as in previous years but was en
couraging to the Tri-Y and HI-Y
groups which sponsored this year's
service in cooperation with' the
Ministerial association.

Kaiser Yards
Waste Labor
Charges Solon
WASHINGTON, April 10-(P)
As a "partial revelation" of reas
ons for the west coast labor short
age Rep. Kefauver (D-Tenn) says
that it takes six times as. many
men at the Kaiser shipyard to
make copper fixtures for cargo
vessels as it formerly took a sep
arate firm to do the same job.
Kefauver's statements were
contained in a news letter to con
stituents based, on a recent trip to
the west coast : with the house
small business committee. The
news letter was made public here
today.
He wrote that "a good example
of how much more efficient small
business can be in certain types of
production" was evident in the
case of a small San Francisco
plant making fixtures for Kaiser,
supplying them as fast as ships
were built.
"Recently the Kaiser yards de
cided they would prefer doing this
same work themselves instead of
sub-contracting," Kefauver staff
ed. "It is reported that Kaiser
now employs 150 people to do
the same work that 26 did before
in the small plant"
Kefauver also said the west
coast shipyard manpower situa
tion had been aggravated both
by management and labor, the
former due to "hoarding and ov
er-estimating employment needs"
and the latter by "blocking" at
tempts to utilize best the available
workmen. .
Saying it was estimated , that
three-fourths of the. manpower
problem in the Los Angeles area
could be wiped i out by a -: "mere
rearrangement of shifts in the
shipbuilding industry Kefauver
charged that shipyard worker un
ions are blocking maritime com
mission action on a recommend
ed change from three eight-hour
shifts to two 10-hour shifts, which.
he declared, would "work more
efficiently.H.
