U.S. Gives Last Report
Today on Outlook for
Bumper Wheat Crop
By Malcolm Lamborne, Jr.
The last report on prospects of
the important winter wheat crop be
fore harvesting begins will be issued
late today by the Agriculture De
partment and will largely determine
how much wheat the United States
can ship to famine areas in the sec
ond half of this year and a portion
of 1947.
An 830,000.000-bushel crop was in 1
prospect April 1, but a combination
of dry weather in some areas and
insect pests in others has raised
speculation on whether it still will
be a bumper harvest.
The report will give condition of
the crop as of May 1 and also will
furnish a preliminary estimate of
spring wheat prospects. Total wheat
crop for the year is estimated at
around 1.000,000,000 bushels.
Britain Expects Share.
There has been discussion among
food planners in the department of
using a portion of the winter crop,
which will be harvested late this
month and early in June, to meet
United States commitments through
June 30. This country has a goal
of 6,000.000 tons during the first
half of the year, but shipments are
lagging.
Great Britain also is looking for
a share of the winter crop in the
United States, after agreeing to
divert some 200.000 tons of its re
serves to UNRRA with the under
standing this would be made up in
July and August.
Meanwhile, work continued on a
plan by this country for improve
ment of food allocation and distri
bution machinery on a world-wide
basis. The proposal will be sub
mitted to a conference here May 20
of the United Nations Food and
Agriculture Organization.
Council Plans Equal Distribution.
C. Tyler Wood, United States
delegate to UNRRA, disclosed yes
terday at a special meeting of
UNRRA's 48-nation council that
this country was working on such
a plan.
The council, after hearing Di
rector General La Guardia criticize
the present operations of the three
nation Combined Food Board and
call for a new international agency
to handle food problems, unani
mously adopted a resolution urging
an immediate improvement of ma
chinery for "equitable distribution"
of foodstuffs.
Mr. La Guardia also informed the
council that some commission of
the United Nations should take over j
the problem of displaced persons in 1
Europe. He said that speed was es- '
sential in getting these returned to
their homes.
UNRRA is scheduled to go out of
existence at the end of this year in
Europe and by next March else
where.

Veterans Urged to Check
Collapse of People's Unify
Veterans had before them today
a plea by Charles G. Bolte, national
chairman of the American Veterans
Committee, to organize and not
allow a “breakdown of the Amer
ican people's unity.”
Speaking to student veterans of
Howard University yesterday, Mr.
Bolte said “there seems to be a
lessening of unity and a tragic sense
! of futility among people. It is
j fantastic that in such a short time
i after the war was W’on, there is
already talk of a third world war."
! Such problems as housing, in
1 hated prices and dissension among
jthe Allies lead to a sense of futility
I in individuals, Mr. Bolte said, but
. "by concerted action individuals can
| have a big voice.”
i Truman Keesey, Washington field
representative, and James Baker,
former- vice chairman of the Dis
trict American Veterans’ Committee
Chapter, also spoke on the program.
'Conservation Days'
Start Here With Plea
To Save For Starving
Washington is observing “food
conservation days’’ today, tomorrow
and Sunday, when pastors of all
District churches will ask their
congregations to pledge conservation
of food for the duration of the
famine emergency.
The three days were set aside in
a proclamation yesterday by the
District Commissioners, who urged
all residents to support the progiam
for conserving food, particularly
wheat products, fats and oils.
The appeal was issued following
a meeting of Commissioner John
Russell Young, Chairman Raymond
F. Garrity of the Washington Food
Conservation Committee; the Rev.
E. Jerome Winter, pastor of St.
Stephen's Catholic Church; Dr.
Frederick E. Reissig, executive sec
retary of the Washington Federation
of Churches, and Rabbi Norman
Gerstenfeld of the Washington
Hebrew Congregation.
People can help feed a starving
world by eating less themselves, and
“thus insure the inalienable right
of all people to freedom from want,”
the proclamation stated.
Many churches in the Washing
ton Area also will begin collections
of canned foods and money for fam
ine relief, starting this Sunday.
The local food conservation com
mittee wants all persons to reduce
their consumption of bread and
other wheat products 40 per cent
and edible fats by 20 per cent, in
line with the program outlined by
President Truman's Famine Emer
gency Committee.
