Stocks Recover
After Decline
New York, March 20 U.R)
Railroad shares strengthened
tqday after a decline ranging to
more than a point in Santa Fe
and the whole stock market list
registered a firmer understone
before the close of today's short
session.
Railroad shares had been sold
late yesterday and early today
on a Dow-Jones dispatch from
Washington to the effect that a
payment by the railroads to the
government amountl ng to
around $150,000,000 was threat
ened. That amount, it was said,
Involved freight carried for the
maritime commission and for
lend-lease. The moot point is
whether land grant rales
amounting to reductions of 50
per cent on commercial rales
apply. The roads have collect
ed full rates on these shipments
arid have paid their taxes on the
total.
iWoslern roads were hardest
hit yesterday and today they
again bore the brunt of the
realizing. Representative rails
came back and most of them
were up small amounts by clos
ing time.
'Steel shares were belter as
the close approached notably
U. S. Steel. Airline shares con
tinued to respond to favorable
earnings statements.
.Liggett and Myers B was off
more than a point in the tobac
cos. Automobile issues were
narrowly irregular. Aircrafts
were firmer, notably Lockheed
which rose nearly a point.
,Dow Jones preliminary clos
ing stock averages: industrial
129.13, off 0.12; rail 31.72, up
0,11; utility 17.30, off 0.04; 65
stpeks 43.87, unchanged.
Stock sales totaled 484,290
sljares compared with 829,830
last Saturday. Curb stock sales
w.ere 104,885 shares against
232,410 a week earlier.
House Passes
Farm Cost Bill
Washington, March 20 UP)
The house farm bloc that caught
the "city fellers" napping yes
terday looked with confidence
today to the scnati to speed to
the White House land possibly
veto legislation requiring the
inclusion of labor costs in de
, tcrminlng parity.
Parity is a technical and In
tangible price calculated to give
farmers a share of current na
tional income and purchasing
power proportionate to that they
enjoyed in the base period from
1809 to 1914.
In a surprise maneuver that
caught opponents off-guard, the
farm bloc succeeded in passing
through the house on a voice
vote the bill of Representative
Pace (D-Gn) to amend the basic
farm law to require that the in
crease in farm labor costs since
the base period be considered
In computing parity.
Thig increase, Pace told the
house, amounts to $1.41 per
day, or the difference between
$1.42 paid in the 1909-1914 per
iod and $2.83 paid on January 1
on the basis of agriculture de
partement surveys. The legisla
tion requires that the calcula
tion take into consideration the
work of hired helpers, farm op'
eralors and members of opera
tors' families actually engaged
in'farm work.
Efforts to restrict the bill
only to the labor of hired work
ers, and to make it effective
only for the duration of the
wir, were shouted down as the
farm bloc, In complete control,
forced the issue.

Uneven Trend
Grain Futures
Chicago, March 20 (U.R)
Grain futures followed an un
even trend on the board of
trade today. After initial ad
vances markets weakened with
oats countering the trend.
Wheat finished the day off Vi
to 7a cent a bushel; corn un
changed; oats unchanged to up
'.4. and rye off to :.
House passage of the Pace
bill, providing for higher par
ity level by including farm
labor costs, failed to give wheal
prices firmness beyond the first
strong rally.
Trade circles attributed the
reaction to the probability of a
presidential veto if the meas
ure is approved by the senate,
and fears that new advances
would bring out another in
crease in marketings of redeem
ed loan wheal.
Profit-taking added to the
casing of early highs in wheat.
Trading in corn futures con
tinued to be limited lo exchang
ing between the various months.
Oats turned independently
strong.
Rye futures fluctuated with a
range of 1 cent.
Wheal futures maintained a
steady to strong tone on the
Winnipeg exchange. Other
grains held unchanged. Other
U. S. markets followed the
weaker trend of the Chicago
pits.

Crop Prospects
Brightening
Washington, March 20 UP)
A government report that farm
ers plan to plant more food and
livestock feed crops this year
today lightened concern over
threatened shortages, but failed
to indicate any easing of exist
ing and proposed consumer re
structions. Such was the consensus of
sources close to Secretary of
Agriculture Wickard as they
sized up a survey of the fed
eral crop reporting board show
ing that the total prospective
acreage of major crops was
about 3.5 per cent larger than
a year ago when the nation's
food output reached a record
level.
Many informed observers had
forecast a reduction in acreages
this year due to manpower, ma
chinery and fertilizers shortages
and to reported farmer dissatis
faction with some government
farm price policies.
While the survey indicated
general planting increases, pros
pects still, in some cases, are
short of goals set by Wickard.
The goals were designed to re
flect total demands upon Amer
ican agriculture, including this
nation's civilian and military
needs and limited lend-lease re
quirement to her allies.
Perhaps the most serious de
ficit threat is the indicated acre
age for peanuts.
VanportToo
Big to Manage
Portland, Ore., March 20 UP)
Small housing projects, easy
lo manage, are Portland's need,
C. M. Gartrell, chairman of the
Portland housing authority, said
yesterday.
He told the Portland Realty
Board the Vanport project, built
between Portland and Vancou
ver, Wash., to house 40,000 per
sons, is too big.
It is hard to manage now and
will be harder to dispose of.
Portland has but two alterna
tives to find institutional uses
for the buildings after the war,
or tear them down to prevent
them from becoming slums, he
continued,
Gartrell advocated local con
trol bf housing projects, and
added the housing situation in
Portland no longer is critical
since a number of projects are
nearing completion.

Dimming Law Hits
Defense Plants
Defense plants, whether pri

Promise Seen
For Flax Plant
Jefferson, Ore., March 20
This week there is much prom
ise that a flax plant will be built
here after all, for this year the
government is urging the San
tiam Flax Growers association
to build, instead of the associa
tion seeking government inter
est, as last year. Fiber flax is
much in demand and this asso
ciation seems to be further ad
vanced in its plans for a plant
right now.
A. L. Page, Charles Hart,
Douglas Bradley and E. M. Hen
ningsen attended a meeting in
Corvallis Tuesday night, meet
ing with Professors Hyslop and
Price. The possibility of a flax
plant under the new govern
ment plan was discussed. It is
undoubtedly of interest to local
growers for immediate planting
of flax.
