CUTS PEANUTS, MEAT
Anderson Calls for Record
Crop Acreage for 1948
WASHINGTON, Nov 24 -
The government outlined a 1948
farm production pattern today sug-
gesting near-record acreages of
crops, but a decline in production
of meat and poultry.
Major emphasis was placed on
grains in guiding goals announced
by Secretary of Agriculture An-
derson
A shortage of grains for live-
stock feed will make it necessary,
the cabinet official said, to cut
down on the production of all live-
stock products except milk, which
would be maintained at this year's
level.
If the goals are met, farmers
will put 9,000,000 (million) acres
more to cultivated crops and hay
than this year and about 7,500,000
FBI Raids Ohio
'White Slavers'
PORTSMOUTH, Ohio, Nov. 24-
ALLEY OPP!—From a hungry alley cat to a first-prize winner
on a satin cushion in two days is the success story of “Mr. Sil-
ver,” shown above with his blue ribbons. A hostess in the
Hamilton Hotel in St. Louis, Mo., found him strolling into the
hotel lobby just two days before the city’s cat show started.
So she fed, groomed and entered the cat' in competition with
fancy breeds. Result: "Mr. Silver” walked off with best color
class award for kittens and a first for participation in the non-
championship class.
(P)— FBI agents swept up 47 pris-
oners in a sudden smash late
Saturday night at what it called
far-flung’ white slavery operations
- centering at Irontown, Ohio.
A "call house district" at Iron-
town. the FBI declared, has long
been the “focal point- of prostitu-
tion" for communities in three
(million) more than the 1342-46
wartime average. This year's
planting totaled 347,000,000 acres
Anderson said high domestic and
foreign demands make it neces-
sary for farmers to postpone for
at least another year a return to
good soil practices needed to give
overworked land a real from its
heavy burdens of the past seven
years.
“Today, more than ever. United
States production is a key factor
in world recovery,” he said *
"But if thia nation is to provide
a good share of the food needed
so desperately by hungry nations
abroad, it will mean an Inevitably
heavy drain on our already strain-
ed soil resources.”
The goals recommended reduc-
tions in acreage of some crops
because of reduced demand. These
included tobacco, which as lost
valuable foreign markets; peanuts,
which was expanded during the
war as a source of vegetable oil.
and dry peas.
Anderson recommended eight
per cent fewer eggs than this year.
seven percent fewer chickens, 12
percent fewer turkeys, six per-
cent fewer pigs for the spring
crop, and an II percent reduction
in cattle slaughter.
He estimated the per capita sup-
ply of meat at 143 pounds next
year compared with 156 this year.
The per capita supply averaged
127 pounds in the 1935-39 period.
Oil Union Head Raps
Grain Speculators
FORT WORTH, Nov. 24—n-
President O. A. Knight of the Oil
Workers International Union (CIO)
Sunday urged President Truman to
drive speculators out of the grain
market, and warned unions will
have to seek wage increases if Con-
gress fails to hold prices in line.
Knight issued a statement citing
rising prices of bread and meat
with attendant hardships on work-
ers' families as the reason for his
setion. He requested the president
to limit speculative holdings in
grain futures to a maximum of 1,000
bushels. •
“President Truman has the pow-
er under the Commodities and Ex-
change Act to limit these Individual
holdings and thus make it unprofi'-
able for speculators to drive up
prices,” the union official stated.
Certificates of necessity based on
actual needs and available supplies
can be issued by the Secretary of
Agriculture to legitimate users and
processors for grain purchases.
Knight said.
Human beings do not see colors
in semi-darkness because eye-
pupils are wide open and most vi-
sion is through the outer areas of
the retina which are not sensitive
to color.-------------------------

community "during the active op-
eration of these houses with women

director of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, announced the ar-
rests were aimed at “interstate
transportation of girl recruits for
several houses of prostitution with-

as they might have been on any
