Large Wheat Crop May Bring Reduced Stock Feed Crop Washington U.fi) Agricul ture Department officials have expressed concern that the bumper wheat crop in prospect this ear will result in a reaucea livestock feed crop. With the third largest wheat crop on record forecast for this year, officials pointed out that the vast acreage seeded to wheat would cut down on the land available for badly needed live stock feed crops. Can Divert Wheat They conceded, however, that In a pinch which is likely more wheat than usual can go into feeding the cows, cattle and pigs that furnish meat and dairy products. In its first production report of the year, the department fore cast a 946,845,000 bushel winter wheat crop. This would be topped only by the record crops of 1947 and 1948.. Combined with the estimated spring wheat crop of 307,000,000 bushels, the winter wheat would bring the overall wheat crop to 1,253,845,000 bushels, or about 88,000,000 more bushels than were called for in department Marine Firemen Considering Strike Seattle (U.R) Marine Fire men's union members will de cide Thursday whether to strike West Coast ports or submit their disputes ot arbitration. The independent union called off its strike against the Alaska Steamship company after the company filed a federal court suit asking damages for each day the strike tied up Alaska s vessels. Vincent Malone of San Fran cisco, general president of the union, said the union seeks over time pay rates for coastwise and Alaska firemen equal to those of offshore firemen. San Francisco Chinatown's '"joss houses," the Chinese tem ples, derived their name from "Dios," Spanish and Portuguese word for God. Hearing Set on Josephine Dispute Grants Pass, Ore.

(International) Around Hollywood Hollywood (U.R) . Joan Ben nett won't decide whether to reconcile with Walter Wanger until he deals with the law for the shoot ing of Jennings Lang, her friends said j Friday. The lovely brunette is in seclusion until she goes to Chicago April Aline Mosby 21 to appear in a play, "Bell, Book and Candle." But close associates of the act ress reveal that she has yet to make a decision about her life with the man who is scheduled to go on trial Tuesday for pumping a bullet into agent Lang's groin December 13. "She'll wait until it's all over . . . but I doubt if they'll ever live together as man and wife again," one friend said. No Spicy Trial Seen The, Hollywood grapevine also is predicting that the case never will reach the courtroom as any spicy jury trial. Instead of lay jng bare the lives of those in volved, Wanger reportedly pre fers to plead guilty if the charge of assault with intent to kill can be reduced to a lesser assault with a deadly weapon. Meantime, Wanger, Miss Ben nett and Lang have been trying to stay out of the public eye. The graying producer and his lovely wife dined twice last week at her Holmby Hills man sion. He stayed for dinner Satur day night after escorting their daughter, Stephanie, to a chil dren's party given by Actress Theodore Lynch. To Dinner Partiei Joan has attended informal dinners at the home of her By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent friends, James and Pamela Ma son. She took her children to an Easter party at Blum's Candy Shop and Sunday night she treats tliem to dinner at the Brown Derby. But most of her day she spends rehearsing, alone, for her play. "She's more quiet now, and has lost weight, and she seems resigned to the fact she has to work again for financial reas ons," a close friend says. "She has to support her family, and she's nearly broke." Wanger's bankruptcy forced them to mortgage her home. She had to refuse an offer to appear in an Italian movie because an unpaid income tax bill prevented her from legally leaving the country. Withdrew From Play Miss Bennett was signed for the Chicago play three months before the shooting. After Wan ger pumped a bullet into Lang's groin, she withdrew from the part in favor of Rosalind Rus sell. Now Joan feels free to take the role. She won't be needed at any trial, since a wife can't testi fy against her husband. . The shooting tripled her fan mail, associates say. They insist the letters are sympathetic to her return to acting. Wanger is preparing produc tion on a new movie at Mono gram studio. He often eats alone at night at the counter in Schwab's drugstore. Lang has recovered and "is as good as new," his friends say. He stays home nights and looks at movies on a home projection machine. The University of California has maintained seismographic stations at Berkeley and at Mount Hamilton since 1887.
