Dec. 21. —(UP) — America wax at war with Germany, and the streets of New York teemed with servicemen-young, impressionable and. above all, lonely. It waa a big city and the people seemed cold and diatant. It waa a vexing problem for civic authorities. But to the communists. it represented a golden opportunity to recruit new members.

Record Grain Supply Insures More Meal Insurance Against A Possible Famine Washington. Dec. 21. -*(UP)—■ "The American consumer now has the best insurance he ever had against a possible meat famine caused by draught." an agriculture department spokesman said today. The spokesman pointed to the nation's record high grain supply, the government holds a large quantity of the reserve, or so-called "surplus" grain, in Its price support stocks. When the 1950 corn crop comes In. the department figures there still will be left in government and i4ivnte hands more than 1,thdbrnoA.oon bushels of "old" com from the 1948 and 1949 crops. At the current rate, that's enough to feed the nation's livestock for four months. "It's good meat insurance." the spokesman said. "If the corn crop is small because of drought next year or the year after farmers won't have to liquidate their livestock because of feed shortages. It was the short 1947 corn crop 1 that caused our meat shortage last year." But how long can Uncle Sain keep hoarding bis corn? Won't is spoil?

"You don't have to worry about that." the official said. "From actual prewar experiences we know corn <an be stored safely lor at least five years." Planting Os Winter Wheat Is Reduced 15 Percent Slash Is Made By Farmers Washington, Dec. 21.—(UP) — Threat of a burdensome wheat sur plus next summer was discounted by agriculture officials today on news that farmers cut back winter wheat planting by 15 percent this fall The reduction was attributed to the government’s acreage allotment program, a mild form of production control under which growers who refuse to stay within a planting allotment are stripped of price support benefits. One of the department's top grain experts said the news was “very gratifying”

"ft shows farmers realise the gravy train ta over and they've sot to reduce produetion from the record levels of the last few years." he said. “It means the possibility of a dangerous surplus in I*M Is very remote and rigid controls in IHI will not be necessary unless yields per acre are very high and there Is a tremendous slump in exports The department, meanwhile, prepared to issue fat noon.

Miss Truman Fails To Impress Critics Margaret Sings In Famed Carnegie Hall New York. Dec. 21. — (UP) — The nations top music critics took their hatchets today to Margaret Truman, the first president's daughter ever to sing In Carnegie Halt. It was a brilliant social occasion for the audience of 2.500 distinguished guests admitted by invitation only last night to hear the 25 year-old soprano sing on a half-hour radio program. But to Manhattan’s debut-weary critics Miss Truman was just another beginner finishing up her first concert tour on the stage that has been the goal of all young stars for four decades. They said she had a lot of "per sonal distinction" but little musical talent.

Several million other music lovers had a chance to make up their own minds about Miss Truman by tuning her in on the American Broadcasting Company's national hookup. They Included President Truman, who listened from Washington. and Mrs. Truman, who tuned in at Independence. Mo. The cavernous auditorium and the glitterlngly dressed audienx did not shake Miss Truman's poise and assurance. She stood behind a hedge of poinsettas in a clinging gold lame gown that accentuated her shapely figure and sang like a seasoned trouper. At the end of the program she received four curtain calls and an armful of yellow roses and white gardenias, then went beckstage to receive congratulations from a nevy of celebrities, including Mrs Eleanor Roosevelt. The critics salt, it was a great show, but ....
