I Kent - , rHctUftf, 0r LOOK E 0NPR0P0SED T WASHINGTON, . May 31 (AP) The federal farm program met its first nation-wide test today in a grower referendum c.i whether the government should be granted authority to tell farm ers how much wheat they might market this year. Upwards of 750,000 producers in 37 wheat-growing states were expected to cast secret ballots at polling places established in school-houses, courthouses, other public buildings and rural homes by farmer committeemen. They marked "yes" or "no" to the question of whether they favored marketing quotas de signed to keep surplus produc tion of this year's prospective bumper wheat crop off the mar ket until it is needed. The fav orable vote of at least two thirds of those voting is requir ed to make the quotas opera tive. Officials of the agricultural adjustment administration ex pressed confidence that the mar keting control proposal would be approved. The confidence was based upon the fact that, under crop control legislation, price - supporting . government loans must be withheld in the event quotas are turned down. Under recently approved leg islation, this year's basic wheat loan rate would be about 97 cents a bushel, or about 25 cents more than last year's rate. Of ficials declared that without the loan program, . wheat prices could be expected to drop 25 cents from the present near-dollar level. Quotas on wheat were pro posed for the first time this year because the United States has a prospective supply sufficient to meet its needs for nearly two years. LOSES LAST HOLD Br IRVING PERLMETER WASHINGTON, May 31 UP) President Roosevelt ordered cre ation of the office of transporta tion Friday and thereby termi nated the work of the national defense advisory commission ex actly a year after it first met. Transportation was the only activity left In the . commission as the fast growing office for emergency management swal lowed up all of its other duties in new agencies, particularly the office for production manage ment. The president, it was learned from authoritative sources, has approved the new agency as a planning and coordinating body designed to get maximum de fense cooperation in the fields, of railroad, bus, truck, pipeline, ship, airplane and barge trans portation. Ralph Budd. president of the Burlington railroad and trans portation member of the defense commission, is expected to head the railroad division of the new agency, with someone else having experience in other transporta tion problems at the top of the whole setup. These sources said flatly that the president had no intention of placing the railroads, under government operation as they were during the World war. Of ficials here regarded the World war step a failure, and said they believe that government-directed cooperation of the railroads under their private management can get better results. -- The president took no formal step to disestablish the defense commission. He merely caused it to cease to exist by taking away its last function. GHQWERSVDT 1EA QUOTA J.

BEATTIE Jr. Unit Press Correspondent LONDON, May 30, (UP) Lord Woolton, food minister, ap pealed today to the women and families of America to reduce their consumption of milk and cream so that 2,000,000 British children who need plenty of milk can remain healthy. "I want to make the greatest appeal of which I am capable to the American people to give us enough milk," he said. "These children are suffering enough from night after night of bomb ings. The effects are bound to last a long time, but I want them kept physically all right "I know that America has no big exportable surplus of milk, but I believe that American wo men would be willing to reduce their own consumption per haps go without cream one day a week so the difference could be sent In the form of milk powder and distributed here through clinics so that children will get enough." Woolton voiced his appeal to American corresponrents. for whom he summed up Britain's food outlook. He said foodstuffs necessary to the maintenance of life are generally adequate at present but herds will have to be cut down because of a fodder short age, with a result that milk pro duction next year is expected to be off 20 per cent. "I do not know how many of us are going to be killed in this war," he said, "but Britain has got to go on. For that we must have healthy people to carry on. Regarding the general diet, he said it was adequate but dull, and that it greatly needed "tasti- ness. He hoped the United States! could send substitutes for meat' "not for its nutritive value but !
