Last year's crop, the largest yet grown, was 1,155,715,000 bushels. A wheat crop of the size indi cated would enable the United States to continue exports until the 1944 harvest at this season's record rate. Likewise, present rather plentiful supplies of corn would be augmented by another crop or more than 3,000,000,000 bushels. Union Accepts Morse's Plea WASHINGTON, March 20 -P) -President Joseph A.
