Extreme north west Florida will have strong shift ing winds which, the bureau said, may reach gale force early today. The storm last night moved over a curved course that erased the Immediate threat to the Florida mainland but the Weather Bureau said "It's going to be a close brush" for the Carolina and Geor gia coasts. Radar equipped Navy planes tracked the twister through the night. Forecaster Paul Moore said the storm had begun a noilhward curve which might take It on a parallel to the mainland and cause its strongest winds to spend them- at about 6 per cent below the peak reached m February of last year. The drought which affected wide areas during July and early August had little if any effect on faun prices. Some government officials had expressed concern that the dry weather could cause sharp ad vances in both farm and retail food prices. Officials said that If present gen erally favorable weather conditions continue, total farm production would be larger than expected. This could cause a modest decline in farm prices during the months ahead. The farmers' economic situation was a little less favorable In mid August than In mid-July because his prices as a whole did not change, and prices he paid for goods and services used in farm production and in family living went up a third of 1 per cent. Quite a number of farm products brought prices below the level de clared by law to be equally fair to farmers and those who buy their products. In this class were wheat, rice, corn, peanuts, tobacco, wool, barley, dry beans, cottonseed, flax seed, oats, hogs, eggs, and citrus fruits. Products which brought produ cers prices at or above the fair level parity Included cotton pota toes, butterfat, milk, rye, sweet potatotes, beef cattle, veal calves and lambs. . Marine Blames Steel Strike POTTSVILLE, Pa. I A marine fatally wounded in action in Korea wrote home that his ammunition supply was reduced because of the steel strike, the youth's mother said yesterday. In a letter dated Aug. 3, Mrs. Thomas V. Haley told reporters, her son, 22-year-old Pfc William W. Lewis, wrote: "That steel strike has really af fected us. I had a fire mission and asked for five pounds. They gave me one and told me that there was a steel strike, and they had to con serve ammo. Well, I guess that's life." On Aug. 4, strict rationing of ammunition for use by any but units in action and troops destined for combat was announced by Army Secretary Karl R. Bendet sen, who said the steel strike cost the Army about 37 per cent of its scheduled ammunition production for the current year. Mrs. Haley was notified six days after the letter that her son died on board a hospital ship, the U.S.S. Haven, from wounds received Aug. 7.
