Surplus Wheat
1950 Problem
1 Washington, May 23 WV-A
farm leader said today that next
year's wheat crop may have to
be held down by acreage allot
ments if a foreign market isn't
found for surplus American
f heat.
This leader, Charles Marshall,
president of the Nebraska Farm
bureau, told a senate foreign
relations subcommittee the agri
culture department is "serious
ly considering" acreage allot
ments and marketing quotas.
; Marshall urged approval of
the international wheat agree
ment. He was speaking for the
American farm bureau federa
tion. . "I understand the department
of agriculture is considering
seriously the establishment of
acreage allotments and possibly
marketing quotas, to limit wheat
production next year," Marshall
said.
James G. Patton, president of
the National Farmers union,
said the surplus wheat carryover
this year my run as high as 400,
000,000 bushels. He estimated
1,500,000 acres of wheat will be
planted In the United States.
Patton said whatever the cost
of the International wheat agree
ment, it will be cheaper in the
long run than accumulating
huge surplus stocks.
He urged a similar Interna
tional marketing plan for such
commodities as tobacco, cotton
and rice.
The National Grange also urg
ed the agreement as an "essen
tial part of a sound world peace
structure."
' Under the agreement, the
United States, Canada and 39
other nations agree among them
selves to buy and sell more than
430,000,000 bushels of wheat
each crop year for the next four
years at a fixed price.
The top price would be $1.80
a bushel, the minimum from
$1.50 the first year to $1.20 the
fourth year.

Grains Display
Firmness Today
Chicago, May 23 W) Grains
did not attract much trading
but they gave a pretty good dis
play of firmness today. With
wheat gaining more than a cent,
the entire market had a steady
undertone right from the start.
Some buying of wheat came
from houses with eastern con
nections. Corn gained on a bet
ter demand for the cash grain in
the spot market. Rye jumped a
couple of cents at times in sym
pathy with strength at Winni
peg. Lard was aided by another
advance in hogs.
Major feature everywhere
was a lack of selling pressure.
Dealers said this apparently re
flected the fact that major
grains are selling so far below
potential government support
levels on cash crops that there
was little incentive to sell.
Wheat closed lVt-1 higher,
July $1.97 ',4, corn was to 1
cent higher, July $1.32-1.33,
oats were H lower to high
er, July 62, rye was 2 cents
higher, July $1.41, soybeans
were ',4 to 2 cents higher, July
$2.25-2.25 'A, and lard was 5 to
8 cents a hundred pounds high
er, July $11.62.

New Tax Board
Waldport, May 23 W) Secre
tary of State Earl Newbry and
Treasurer Walter Pearson de
fended their appointment of
Robert McLean, Waldport, as a
state tax commissioner here last
night.
At a testimonial dinner given
for MacLean by friends here,
the two officials aald MacLean
was a capable man, and a "good
choice" for the position.
The appointment, to become
effective next month, has been
criticized by some republican
leaders, mostly because veteran
Commisloner Wallace Wharton
and Earl Fisher will be let go.
Each had served several terms.
Pearson asserted, "no one Is
getting fired," adding that
Wharton's and " Fisher's four
year terms expire In June.
He said there was "no politi
cal deal" between him and Mac-
Lean, and that he owed no poli
tical debts. MacLean, a demo
crat, was named because tradi
tionally one member of the
three-man tax commission rep
resents the minority party,
Pearson said. He is to replace
Wharton, also a democrat.
Ray Smith, Portland, Is to re
place Fisher. Both are repub
licans. The third member of
the commission, Carl Chambers,
also a republican, continues in
office.
Pearson said he had consid
ered 10 persons for the appoint
ment, but settled on MacLean
because he knew he was a capa
ble man and because Lincoln
county never previously had
been represented on the tax
commission. MacLean has been
a Lincoln county commissioner.
Referendum Blocks
Portland New Taxes
Portland, May 23 UP) The
Oregon tax council had filed
petitions bearing 24,000 signa
tures in a referendum move to
block new city taxes on private
income and business profits.
The names of 13,382 eligible
electors are required to order a
referendum on the tax ordin
ances. The taxes, adopted a month
ago by city council, would be
effective July 1. The ordinances
would exact a one-half of one
percent on private incomes
earned within the city and one
percent on business net profits.
