to get inside, but the women, aided
by L. E. Darling, assistant dean of

shoved them buck outside and
locked the doors and windows.
The raiders moved to Sackett
Hall, the other women's dormitory.
But there none gained entry. From
there they started down sorority

A few got Inside there, but the
organized sorority sisters threw
them out. Some windows were
broken at the Delta Delta Delta

got Inside.
The raiding party gradually

Fight Asked
On Black
Marketeers
By OVID A. MARTIN
WASHINGTON ( This year'a
potato shortage seems to be pro
viding just aooui as neaiea a ac
hate on Uie federal farm programs
as did the government project oi
killing little pigs to raise pork
prices In the early 1930's.
Officials say there's considerable
criticism ot ceilings on potato
prices and a lack of price supports.
The pig-killing program raised
such a furor that, every time meat
has become scarce since then, uie
Agriculture Department has been
flooded with an avalanche of mall
barkening back to those days. That
plan, sponsored oy Henry a. Wal
lace, then the agriculture secre
tary, was designed to boost hoc
prices by reducing pork supplies.
CAUSE
The current potato shortage de
veloped largely because farmers
cut production 20 per cent last
year. Most of this reduction came
in the late potato crop uiat por
tion which goes Into storage for .
use during the winter, spring and
early summer.
Farmers reduced their output
after Congress directed the Agri
culture Department to withdraw
price supports. Congress did away
with supports because they bad
cost the government more than 600
million dollars over a 10-year
period.
Fearing a possible price collapse,
farmers turned to more promising
crops.
wnen It became apparent that
stocks might not be large enough
prices started moving upward. The
Office of Price Stabilization step
ped in with ceilings. But until
corrected, inequities in ceilings as
applied market by market served
to divert supplies to aome markets
and away from others.
