March Wheat Hits 27-Year Selling Peak CHICAGO. Feb. 10-tVPj-March wheat hit a new 27-year peak and all deferred contracts scored new seasonal highs in a market which moved over a fairly wide price range on the board of trade to day. Oats closed mixed and corn was relatively weak. Wheat started lower on profit taking, dropping more than a cent. Buying then entered the pits on reports of strong cash markets and prices spurted to a top of $2.21 ij in the March delivery. In the last 15 minutes selling was heavy and prices quickly re treated. New crop wheat was hardest hit by the late selling and closed lower on the day. Final prices were ' lower to Va higher than Saturday's finish, March $.20. Corn closed -Ts lower, March $1.34-$1.34a. and oats ?8 lower to higher, March 79Ls-79. Commercial interests were buy ers of near-by wheat contracts. Some purchasing was based on a 10 cent a hundred pound hike last week in the price which the production and marketing admin istration will pay for flour. Visi ble supply of wheat increased 247,000 bushels this week. The new crop wheat deliveries, selling at the highest point in his tory for February, were down on reports that not much damage had been suffered by winter wheat from recent winds and cold weather. Canada will advance its price of wheat for export to coun tries other than Great Britain an other 2 cents tomorrow, making the price for No. 1 northern at Fort William $2.44.

Marlow - Dick Crane la "Johnnie Censes Flying: Home" Grand Jury Indicts Romney On 3 Counts WASHINGTON, Feb. 10-t7P-A federal grand jury today indicted Kenneth Romney, sergeant-at-arms of the house for 15 years, on a charge of seeking to "cheat, swindle or defraud the govern ment" to conceal a $143,863 short age in his accounts. Conviction would carry a maxi mum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine on each of three counts. The shortage came to light early in January. The last audit of the books, in 1890, turned up a smaller shortage which was made up by a congressional appropria tion. The indictment asserted that Romney concealed shortages dat ing back to Jan. 1, 1946. in ac counts of his office, which serves as a sort of "bank" for congress men. This was done, the grand jury said, "by including as cash on hand ... a purported confes sion of a theft of money from the office of sergeant-at-arms"' along with checks which had never been presented for payment to the banks on which they were drawn. The indictment did not identify the signer of the alleged confes sion, but Attorney General Clark said It was made by "a former employe." Rails Pace in Stock Retreat NEW YORK, Feb. 10-(7P)-Rails led the stock market on a re treat today although scattered is sues successfully resisted profit cashing resulting from the recent bulge to new average highs since last August. Most pivotals slipped after a fairly steady start. There was a comeback around midday but then carriers encountered further selling. Losses of fractions to about 2 points predominated at the close. Transfers crossed the million-mark for the tenth suc cessive full session. The aggregate of 1,300,000 shares compared with 1,970,000 Fridiy. Caution, rather than resump tion of bearishness, received the principal blame for the day's stumble. Dividends, earnings and labor optimism persisted as a bol stering influence. The Associated Press 60-stock composite was off .4 of a point at 68.6, biggest dip since Jan. 20. Of 995 issues reg istering, 573 fell and 249 ad vanced. Salem Markets BUTTERFAT Premium No. 1 No I .
