Shortage of Potatoes, Soybean Price Squeeze Force Handlers Out Defld lint Sunday Classified! la al . 1 noon Saturdays Chicago (U.R) Potato wholesalers and soybean pro cessors had one thing in com mon. Some of them were out of business. The potato men were victims of a nationwide spud shortage. The soybean processors com plained of a "price squeeze." Three big Illinois soybean processors A. E. Staley Manu facturing Co., Archer - Daniels Midland Co., and Swift and Co. have closed their plants within the last few days. Association Closed The potato shortage has forced all 2B members of the Chicago Potato Dealers Association to close. About 60 wholesalers and Jobbers in Chicago, the world's biggest potato market, were out of business. Spokesmen for the wholesal ers charged that there is a wide spread black market, and that many reputable firms are en gaged in it. Illegal Channels Claimed Wholesalers said price ceilings were forcing potatoes into "ille gal channels," and that the" Of fice of Price Stabilization is powerless to cope with the situ ation. A spokesman for the OPS said it is investigating, but that "so far we've had hardly any com plaints from housewives." "The wholesalers are sore be cause many big potato users are' buying directly from the pro ducers and eliminating the mid dle man," the OPS spokesman said. Subsidy Removal Blamed Despite conflicting black mar ket reports, all sources agreed that the basic cause of the short age was the removal of govern ment subsidies from potatoes. At Des Moines, la., state In spectors said one out-of-state shipper inserted a stove pipe into an empty bag, filled the pipe w 1 1 n interior potatoes, sur rounded it with spuds of higher quality and withdrew the pipe. Processed at Loss Soybean ..processors ..com plained that soybeans are selling for about $3 a bushel, and that it costs them another 30 cents a bushel to process them Into meal and oil. Processors said that at current prices and Under OPS ceilings they have been getting only about ?2.80 a bushel for the pro cessed products, for a loss of about 40 cents a bushel. HORSEMEAT BAN ENDS Washington U.R The Office of Price Stabilization has lifted its ban on the use of horsemeat in sausages. It stipulated that such products must be clearly la belled so the customer will know what he Is getting. Washington (U.R) Senate Democratic leaders agreed Tues day to bring the St. Lawrence Seaway bill before the Senate for action this year. 2 Central Oregon Mills and Union Reach Agreement Portland (U.R) The CIO woodworkers strike at two cen tral Oregon mills was ended Wednesday as union representa tives and members of employers groups continued to negotiate here in an attempt to end the five-state lumber tie-up. Some 185 workers at Ponde rosa Molding company at Red mond and Tite Pine mills at Sis ters reached an agreement at Redmond on a local level. The workers received a 7Vi cent pay raise, three more paid holidays, making fix: a boost In the night differential and other benefits. The workers, however, were to handle their own health and welfare program. Chief obstacle in getting an agreement to end the walkout of nearly 40,000 woodworkers is the union s demand for a com pany paid health and welfare program. 117 S.
