The agriculture department reported today that April 1 sup plies for export and carryover reserves in the United States, Canada, Argentina and Austral ia totaled about 921,000,000 bushels. This is about 13 per cent greater than a year ago and 64 per cent above the 1935-39 aver age for April 1. However, it is only about half the record 1, 762,000,000 bushels in 1943. Of the total supplies available for export and carryover, the United States held 527,000,000 bushels, Canada 185,000,000, Ar gentina 89,000,000 and Austral ia 120,000000. The department said latest production prospects indicate that this year's crops may add to the excess stocks In export ing countries. It is quite possi ble, the agency said, that the United States again will pro duce more than it will need for domestic and foreign markets. The U. S. crop could easily total 1,064,000,000 bushels de spite damage caused the grain in the southern plains by insects and dry weather. Market de mands arc now expected to re quire about 1,000,000,000 bush els 70,000,000 for domestic use and 300,000,000 for export. i $9 Million PP & L Co. Bond Issue Approved Washington, April 21 (!')

Intensive Search Ends for Lost Woodburn Child Woodburn, April 21 Little 3-year-old Susan Morgan is safely at home today. Thursday evening she was the subject of an intense search in which nearly the whole town of Woodburn participated. Susan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Morgan of 299 Oswald street, disappeared from her home about 6:30 p. m. At least that's when her mother first missed her. Susan had been play ing on the lawn around her home and when Mrs. Morgan went out to call her, Susan was nowhere in evidence. First, Mrs. Morgan looked alone for her daughter. Soon neighbors joined the search. Not long later the fire department and the Woodburn national guard joined in. The word spread fast. Townspeople by the dozen started looking for Susan. Bob Martin, a taxi driver, fin ally found the wandering lass. Susan had just gone to see her daddy, that's all. Daddy works at the Shell service station own ed by Tony Painter, on highway 99E about a mile from her home. No one knows just how far Susan traveled, or how many hunting eyes she eluded. The little girl says she walked "all over downtown" and that a "la- ly promised to let me ride her pony, and another lady helped me across the highway." Susan was back home at 8:15 p. m. But she caused the great est human hunt in Woodburn since Omar Pinson and William Benson were reportedly here after their escape from the state prison on May 30, 1949.
