But despite the government’s
plan to secure military needs dur-
ing the flush production season,
the outlook for civilian supplies
of butter next fall and winter are
not bright.
In the first place, total produc-
tion is expected to fall below last
year's level and below prewar
output.
In the second place, consumer
demand is at record levels. Be-
cause of this, it is quite likely
that the great bulk, if not all, of
the production of the heavy pro-
duction season — May through
July — will be consumed as rap-
idly as it is produced.
If this happens, none from the
flush season's output would be
reserved for consumption next
fall and winter, when production
is expected to be far short of de-
mands.

Still Not Enough
For Meeting Needs
CLEVELAND, April 25 (/P) —
A nationwide railroad strike to
start May 18 was ordered this
afternoon by officials of two rail-
way brotherhoods—trainmen and
locomotive engineers.
The general chairmen of the
.wo brotherhoods reached a
strike decision after a two-day
conference in which they reject-
ed recommendations made by
the presidential fact finding
board in the brotherhood’s dis-
pute with the carriers over wag
es and working rules changes.
Brotherhood representatives
had demanded a 25 per cent in- |
crease in pay and changes in
working rules, while the fact
finding board recommended only
16c an hour boost in pay. The car-
WASHINGTON, April 25 (/P)—
The Combined Food Board, made
up of members from the United
States, Great Britain and Can-
ada, increased UNRRA’s April
share of the world’s pool of
wheat and other cereals from
363,000 to 460,000 tons, but Di-
rector General Fiorella H. La-
Guardia said this is still far short
of “desperate needs."
i^aGuardia, who had estimated
the lowest needs of the hungry
peoples fed by his agency at 700,-
000 tons, expressed disappoint-
ment at the board’s decision, but
said he was reconciled to the fact
that supplies are not great en-
ough to permit granting a larger
share.
A Weather Bureau report that
rain is needed in some sections
of the Great Plains wheat belt
dimmed somewhat the Agricul-
ture Department’s April 1 fore-
cast that the crop would be a rec-
ord-breaker.
The Weather Bureau report
said Western Kansas, one of the
richest wheat producing areas,
needs rain badly and that condi-
tions are similar in parts of Ne-
braska. More rain also will be
needed soon in western Okla-
homa, western Texas and New
Mexico or the crop will deterior-
ate, the report said.

NUERNBERG. April 25 (JP) —
Hans Gisevius, one-time Gestapo
officer, declared today in the in-

Herman Goering engineered
frameups in 1938 resulting in the
dismissal of the Reich war min-
ister and the Army’s chief of
staff.
"These were the decisive last
steps before the war’s outbreak,”
Gisevius declared, and
Goering the power he

To assure itself of this quan-

will require manufacturers to set
aside a portion of their output
during May and June.
Last summer it purchased 325,-

order, but later turned 75,000,000
pounds back to civilian markets
when supplies became very

WASHINGTON, April 25 (JP)—
CPA officials forecast last night
that the rubber industry will
probably surpass its goal of 66,-
000,000 new passengei- tires this
year, saying the record output is
being helped by new cotton yarn
controls protecting tire cord sup-
plies.
The industry's goal is 13,000,000
tires more than the estimated 53,-
000,000 passenger casings produc-
ed in the previous banner year of
1941.
Despite the present bright out-
look, however, CPA officials cau-
tioned motorists that retail deal-
ers probably will continue to run
a week or two behind on tire de-
liveries throughout the summer,
catching up with day-to-day de-
mand only in the final quarter
of the year.
As advice to intending vaca-
tioners, one CPA spokesman of-
fered: “Put yourself on a deal- ’
er’s list in plenty of time, expect
delivery in 10 days to two weeks,
have one of the old tires recapped
for a spare.”
I Far in the forefront of recon-
version, tire manufacturers so far

I terials supply.
- ' One major difficulty, the short-
age of yarn for tire cords which
has plagued manufacturers in re-
cent weeks, should be relieved by
the emergency “freeze” of cotton
yarn mill spindles on May 1, CPA
rubber officials predicted.
