Government
ToSellWool
Washington ff) The Agri
culture Department announced
Monday that government-owned
wool acquired under the
1932 price support - program
will be offered at generally
lower prices to the domestic
trade effective Tuesday.
The revision, the department
said, would bring prices more
into line with the current wool
market
A spokesman said the price
cut should encourage move
ment of more of the wool into
domestic trade channels at a
time when It would have least
effect on producers.
Department officials said
they were unable to give any
definite figures on the reduc
tion, due to the number of
grades of wool and the fact
that the figures probably would
change weekly
said that his remarks should
not be attributed to him, but
later he authorized Indirect
quotation.
The general reiterated state
ments he made on the day of
of his swearing in, August 13,
In which he deplored the low
ering of morale among mili
tary officers and pledged un
questioning loyalty to civilian
authority.
The chief of staff said he
sensed widespread public crit
icism of the armed services
and that he would order a
study to determine why the
nation was not according the
highest respect, if not affec
tion, for the people In uni
form. - Rldgway ssid he thought
one reason for lowered morale
among profeulonal military
men was the way In which
their fringe benefits, such as
medical attention and com
missary privileges, seemed to
have been whittled away.
