Wheat Stocks
Above Normal
Washington, April 21 lPI
Heavy post-war production has
boosted wheat stocks in major
exporting countries far above
normal.
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.

Elliott Jilted
By Torch Singer
Hartford, Conn., April 21 (U.R)
Georgeanne (Gigi) Durslon,
brunette New York night club
singer, has broken her engage
ment to Elliott Roosevelt, the
Hartford Times said today.
The newspaper quoted Gigi
as saying the end of her romance
with the second son of the late
president was "not the result
of a quarrel. We will still re
main friends."
Also, Gigi will keep her en
gagement ring, at Elliott's in
sistence, the Times reported. It
is a star sapphire, reportedly
worth several thousand dollars.
She has another ring, a blue
onyx with the Roosevelt crest.
The Times reported the cou
ple became engaged last Dec.
21 and that plans for the wed
ding had progressed so far that
Gigi had been fitted for her bri
dal gown and had bought other
parts of her trousseau.
The singer's mother, Mrs.
Gladys Durston, said, according
to the Times, that Gigi "reached
this decision entirely of her own
volition. She is old enough and
has sufficient intelligence to
select her own husband."
Her decision, she said, "has
my complete approval."

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.
