' Page i, Register-Guard1, Eugene, Ore., Tuesday, Jan. 8, 1948 No Northwest Wheat Shortage Reported by Coast Millers WASHINGTON W) N. E. "gDodd, Undersecretary of Agricul ture, advised Senator Cordon (R Ore) Tuesday that the Agricul ture Department has received no reports that any flour mills In the Pacific Northwest have been forc ed to close because of inability to get wheat. "We heard, however, that some millers In the Pacific Northwest are apprehensive that they may not receive export orders for enough flour to keep their mills running at near capacity through out the year," Dodd added In a letter made public by Cordon. Steel 'Basic Factor' In Oil Shortage :' WASHINGTON ) Senator -Wherry (R-Neb) Tuesday de scribed steel as the "basic factor" in the current petroleum short age, which he said is likely to continue throughout this year and Into 1840. Wherry Is chairman of a Senate small business subcommittee on oil which has been prodding In dustry and government sources to make more fuel oil available to small businessmen. The Nebraskan told reporters the committee is getting "more complaints" than ever about the scarcity of fuel oiL Plumbing Tools J CLARK BROS.

Put them together but here we may be a little prejudiced and you've got a combination hard to beat. The point? A reliable, hard working friend for your kitchen. ggt "We discussed this matter with the officials of the Millers' Na tional Federation and the Flour Millers' Export Assn., who report that although there appears to be sufficient supplies of wheat avail able to the mills In the Pacific Northwest, the mills are concern ed about export orders for flour, because their milling has always been largely for export, compared with mills In other sections of the country." Dodd said that since Decem ber 9 the Commodity Credit Corp. has placed orders with far western mills for 39 million pounds of flour for shipment through Paci fic Coast ports, of which 24 mil lion pounds was ordered from mills In Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Not Interested , The Terminal Flour Mills Co.. of Portland, he said, received orders for 7.5 million pounds while an other Portland firm, the Crown Mills "apparently was not Inter ested In selling to the CCC In De cember as no offers were re ceived." Dodd said the Army had inl formed him that It had placed or ders on the West Coast for 20 mil lion pounds jof export flour and frequently has trouble filling Its needs In that section because few mills are equipped to supply flour in multi-wall bags as It requires. !fTT!
