British Divorce Rate
Is 1 to 5 Marriages,
Methodists Are Told
By Associated Press
SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Sept. 26.—
Divorce petitions in Great Britain
are being filed at the rate of one
to every five new marriages, the
Methodist Ecumenical Conference
learned today.
The Rev. John W. Waterhouse,
vice principal of the British Method
ist National Children’s Home, dis
closed the ratio at a symposium on
social tensions in the modern world.
He told 500 Methodist leaders
from many lands that America also
“proyides figures which point to
the same tragic tensions.”
British clergymen are working
to avert the breakup of marriages
and homes by serving with marriage
guidance councils, he said. They
also talk privately with young cou
ples planning .marriage.
The church’s task with regard to
marriage is not educative only, he
added, but redemptive.
The Rev. Mr. Waterhouse also
urged the delegates ”to challenge the
evils in society which contribute to
these disasters.”
tiic iiine-uay coruerence Swung
into its third day, a New York dele
gate advocated United Nations action
“on the plight of displaced persons,
particularly those of the Jewish
people.”
Speaking in Trinity Methodist
Church, headquarters of the world
wide meeting, Dr. Fred B. Newell,
executive secretary of the chinch’s
New York City society, said:
“The only solution that can be
suggested at the present moment is
to have the nations of the world and
the Jews themselves commit this
problem to the United Nations with
out equivocation or reservation.”
Bishop Alexander P. Shaw of the
Baltimore area led a service preced
ing the session.
Leader Denies Reds Rule
CIO Eiectrical Union
By lh« Associated Pros*
BOSTON, Sept. 26.—President Al
bert F. Fitzgerald of the CIO United
Electrical Workers’ Union yesterday
characterized as “trash” a charge
that the organization was “con
trolled lock, stock and barrel by the
Communist Party.”
The charge was made by James
Conroy, a delegate representing
Local 1237, New York, who described
himself as a former Communist.
Mr. Conroy, who said he had
joined the Association of Catholic
Trade Unionists since leaving the
Communist Party, told the electrical
workers’ convention that there were
between 150 and 200 Communists in
positions of leadership in the organ
ization.
Mr. Fitzgerald asserted that “one
day he (Mr. Conroy) is sitting on
the side of labor and the next day
on the side of management.”
The dispute came during discus
sion of a resolution condemning
"Red baiting” approved by the con
vention.
The organization also adopted a
resolution charging the Federal
Government with “helping the
bosses fight the labor movement.”

States handled more than 30,000

'Pauper' Leaves
$105,000 to Help
Purchase Homes
By th» Associated Press
DECATUR, HI., Sept. 26.—Joe
Breckinridge, 82, bachelor who died
two weeks ago in a one-room, pau
perlike home after a colorful ca
reer as gambler, successful real es
tate dealer and self-styled "lay mis
sionary,” left the bulk of his $105,
000 estate to provide homes for mod
erate income families.
In his will filed yesterday, Mr.
Breckenridge left the bulk of his
estate in trust for 25 years to carry
out a loan plan "to help families
buy moderate priced homes in and
near Decatur.” The remainder,
after the 25-year period, will be
divided in equal shares among De
catur charitable and educational
institutions.
Each of Decatur’s 86 churches and
religious institutions received a $10
gift, and minor bequests were made
to friends and relatives.
Mr. Breckenridge’s wealth was
known to his friends. They re
called that he was once a gambler
but at 32 he started a successful
real estate business. For the last
20 years he was a familiar figure
on Decatur streets, where he dis
tributed cards which read: “Pray.”

All Grain Earmarked
To Go Abroad Would
Feed U. S. 32 Days
By tha Associated Press
How much food, measured In
terms of what Americans eat, does
the United States plan to export
to shortage areas this crop year:
The biggest item, as reported by
the Cabinet Food Committee yester
day, will be grains, totaling 470.000,
000 bushels, of which 400,000,000 will
be wheat or wheat flour.
Americans eat about 510000,000
bushels of wheat a year in the form
of cereal products, such as flour,
bread, breakfast foods and the like.
If the grain earmarked for export
were kept in this country and con
verted into meat, dairy and poultry
products, the total supply of the
latter would be increased about 9
per cent, or enough to supply Amer
icans about 32 days at present rates
of consumption.
Comparison Is Broken Down.
Stated . differently, the increase
would increase annual p^f capita
supplies about as follows: #
Meats from 155 to 169 pounds;
eggs, from 378 to 412; fluid milk,
from 403 to 440 pounds; chgpse, from
1 ~
6.9 to 7.5 pounds; canned milk, from
19.8 to 21.6 pounds; lard, from 13.1
to 14.2 pounds, and poultry, from
27.8 to 30.3 pounds.
Little of the grain marked for ex
port could be converted into live
stock products this crop year be
cause there are not enough cattle,
hogs, sheep and poultry on farms
to consume It.
Nevertheless, large quantities of
wheat, normally looked upon as a
food rather than a feed grain, are
expected to be fed to livestock in
order to maintain production of
livestock products near present
levels.
Corn is the major feed grain, but
this year's crop is short. The com
mittee estimated that 350.000,000
bushels of wheat may be used for
feed to offset the corn shortage.
This would be nearly double the
amount of wheat fed livestock last
year.
Wheat as Feed Discouraged.
The Government will discourage
feeding of wheat, however, In an
effort to make more than the 400,-1
000,000-bushel goal available for ex-1
port. Farmers will be asked to mar- i
ket hogs at lighter weights, to put;
less “finish" quality on beef cattle,
and to feed less grain to dairy cattle
and poultry.
Should no wheat be fed, produc
tion of meats, dairy and poultry
products would be reduced roughly
7 per cent or about 35 days’ supply
at present rates of consumption.
Grains make up the bulk of the
prospective exports. The cabinet
committee gave estimates on quan
tities of other foods—In terms of
dollar costs—which will be available
for export. They Included:
Meats, dried eggs and fish, $328,
000,000, or less than 2 per cent of
total annual production: rice, $85,
800,000, or about one-flfth of this
year’s crop; dried beans and peas,
$32,200,000, or about 18 per cent of
this year’s crop; foods, fats and oils,
$153,900,000, or about 10 per cent
of this year's domestic production;
dairy products, $253,500,000, or about
3 per cent of the annual production
of milk; dried fruits, $46,300,000, or
about one-third of this year’s pro
