Abundance Os Goods Vital For Economy Farm Bureau Opens Annual Conference I Chicago. De< 11—(t’PI—Indus* ' trial wages. Industrial prices and farm prices "in fair relation to each other*' can to a great extent eliminate booms and depressions that have interrupted U. 8. econ- ! omy in the past. American farm bureau federation members were told today. Addressing delegates to the organization's 37th annual meeting, federation president Edward A. O'Neal said that this nation could whip the economic problem by encouraging an abundant production of industrial goods. "Nothing on earth can be so effective in preventing rising prices as an abundance of goods." O'Neal said. “We made our vast contribution to winning the war i by producing abundantly. We can i whip our economic problem in the I same way." In an optimistic report to delegate from 45 state farm bureaus. O Neal said that in the coming years there would he increased emphasis >»n finding additionpl markets for more farm products, rather than curtailing acreage to meet expected demand. In addition, he said, the United States' international commitments and Increased Industrial productivity would insure an enlarged farm program. "There is today backed-up demand for consumer goods and dur- * able goods, which, if we keep prices at a fair level, will keep all 1 our factories going full blast for a 1 long time. Under such conditions, people are certain to consume much greater quantities of meat, • dairy and poultry products than I they did In prewar days. InereasI ed demand for such products auto* I rustically broadens the market for i all feed gains" Farm bureau delegates also » heard a warning that "soil banki ruptcy" is facing the nation unless fertilizers are improved adjusted to Individual soils.

Jews’ Immigration ' Favored By Senate Defies Wishes Os ’ Truman, Byrnes t Washington. Dec. 16 — <UP> — A defiant senate was on record ( today as favoring unlimited immigration of Jews into Palestine. By an overwhelming voice vote, it adopted a resolution asking the United States government to use its good offices to that end. In doing so, the senate defied i the wishes of both President Truman and secretary of state | James F Byrnes. They wanted 1 it to delay action at least until the recently-appointed AngloAmerican committee could carry out its study of the Palestine prob-' lem This would be within 291 day*. The senate would not wait, ft continued its abaslon well past the dinner hour last night in order to pass the resolution In the midst of a pre holiday rush of legislation. The senate brushed aside a warning that the action might lead to American involvement in a religious war in the middle-east. The warning came from Sen. ■ Thomas C. Hart. R.. Conn., who offered a watered-down version of the resolution, He mustered some support. I>ut was defeated easily ' by a voice vote. He said that before approving the stronger resolution, the sen- ■ ate should decide <1» whether the U. 8. has available forces to help | put down an Arab uprising in Pal-1 eatlne and (2) whether the V. S. would be willing to use Its forces on such a mission "We face the danger of sericus involvernt u! for which we may not | be prepared." Hart aaid. "Are we ] fair in asking Britain to take , measures which to the Arabs will seem extreme and which will vlt-! ally affect their Interests, unless ' we are prepared to Join Britain I lln accepting responsibility for ’ wliatever Involvement may re- ' aultF* The resolution seeks to open ' Palestine to Jewish immigration "to the maximum of Its sgricultural and economic potentialities." It also states that "there shall be full opportunity for colonisation and development, so that they may freely proceed with the upbuilding of Palestine as the Jewish national home.’’ $25,000 Fire Loss In Plant At Brazil Brasil, Ind., Dec. ll—(UP)—Fire loss of >25.'99 was counted today by officials of the Fisher woodworking plant after a blaze last night.

He ' asked that the court hold the entire corps, comprising hundreds of thousand of Nazi, guilty of war crimes. Storey read documents showing that Martin Dortnann, deputy ; fuehrer, and tbe Nazi parly chancellery ordered Alfred Rosenberg to mucsle a general who wrote on I the spiritual needs of soldiers.
