PAGE FOTJfc. aDFORD MAIL TRTBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1941. : FEDERAL RELEASE 'OF Reduction of Vast Quantities Of Supplies Seen Remedy For Boosting Of Prices, Chicago, Oct. 2. (AP) Fed- ' cral holdings of agricultural pro ducts, which some economists say should be reduced to com bat an inflationary rise In prices, are either at or close to record , levels, according to market ita- tistics today. i The government owns vast i quantities of wheat and corn and 1 smaller supplies of rye and bar- ' ley. These were acquired under a plan to remove surplus grain (from consumption in an effort to maintain prices. In the dairy field, the govern- I i ment possesses butter, shell eggs, i frozen eggs and cheese. Except- i ing butter, however, these are In 'governmental hands only tem porarilythey will be shipped i abroad under the lend-lease act, I Federal agencies also hold va rious canned fruits and vege tables. Purchases In this group are distributed primarily for re lief purposes, although some are being lend-leased. Seen Inflation Brake Suggestions that the govern ment release a part of these hold ings were made earlier this week by the Brookings Institution, an economic research organization with headquarters In Washing ton. . "The most significant single step that might be taken In ar resting the general rise of prices," the institution said, "would be to reduce somewhat the prices of agricultural pro ducts. This could readily be done by releasing to the market portion of the crops now stored in government ware houses." The government on August 31 had 173,639,000 bushels of wheat most of it 1940 grain, with some from 1939. This was the most wheat the government had ever owned.
