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

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

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.

has maintained seismographic
stations at Berkeley and at
Mount Hamilton since 1887.

mark, confirming the towing ar
rangements. The 200-foot Zwarte
Zee, most powerful tug in the
