Report Black Market Growing In Potatoes Deny Price Ceiling Cause Os Shortage Chicago, Apr. 29— pouts of a growing black market hi potatoes were investigated to- ~ day,, but the office- of price stabilization denied that price ceilings had caused any shortage. Carload • receipts of potatoes were far below normal with only 95 cars going on sale in Chicago yesterday. U. S. department of . agriculture experts said it was one V of the smallest consignments they could"“remember;**' ' j. Receipts at Chicago a yeatr.agd • were 372 carloads; a y At 1,6 majot markets across the - nationcrfeceipts were 663 carloads! compared with 1.139 a year ago. ? ‘ . The OPS blamed the shortage bn reduced potato production last year, but said the shortage would , past only the short time until th.e new crop from California, Florida anrf Alabama arrives. An OPB spokesman said that the reports of. black market opsr- < ations had come mostly from buyers complaining of the activities of some wholesalers. There! were some reports of “tie-,-in” salds in which the buyer was forced to purchase or poultry in order to obtain potatoes. ' Jobbers and chain store buyers scrambled for the available supplies in Chicago. One jobber divided up a carload among 10 buyers, although each of the buyers had wanted a carload himself. 2* v ; .7 The National Tea company in Chicago said that its 326 stores in this area each had a 50-pound bag , -of potatoes which lasted only a short , time when consumers sought to get their shared A shipment of Spanish potatoes Was brought in to relieve the shortage at Milwaukee, the hardest hit city in the mid West. However, some buyers here charged that OPS Z ceiling prices; which apply to all levels from the growing to the retail, had encouraged speculators to buy up potatoes by the “truckload.” This-, forced the already short ”jnarlj*L still tighter. . The' OPS said, however, thatjfhe shortage was the result solely of reduced output and was not the fault oP®ceiling prices. A spokesman said that it it were not for retail ceilings, potatoes at groceries at the moment would be “really high in price.” STATE POLICE /■• (Continued From I’nae Ope) Xie . vice,” Schricker said.

Republican State Parley Is Changed Eisenhower Leader Assails Taft Backers Indianapolis. April 29 —(UP) — Indiana Eisenhower -for • president leaders revamped pre-convention tactics today to coincide with the change in dates of the .state Republican nominating convention. George Diener. Marion county Ike-for-pr,esident -manager, said; the change would huft Eisenhower’s campaign for sortie of Indiana's 32 national convention delegates. Diener said the general planned to return about 4une 1 and take a week's vacatioh before beginning a political camjiaign. Cale J. Holder, state GOP chairman, confinne® the change from July ,3 to June late yesterday? Officials at grounds coliseign, the convention site, practically nlade it .official when they anndjinced the old date was cancelled |and the new one booked. i W , “This movement of the date forbrings it io the period when he ( would be on his., vacation,” Dieniir said. “Personally, I feel hewill not take a vacation now. ~ “We have written Seri. (Henry Cabot) Ixidge asking that Eisenhower make a major address as soon as. he lands in the U. S.” Opposition to the change centered in the state headquarters boosting Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower for the GOP .presidential nomination., Spokesmen claimed the. state committee was backing Sen. Robert A, Taft and changed the date to head off an Eisenhower campaign for Hoqikier delegates. Some of the seven announced Republican candidates for tlje gubernatorial , nomination said they mind the change in dates, but Eisenhower stdte headquarters denounced the nipve as “an admission of defeat.” $ j Diener charged jhaneiivering the date indicated |?j|he Republican State committee Ignore interested in controlling fe organization than in winning election.” “We fe6l it is/pn admission of defeat for the Jatt?forces,” he said. Holder did nod hienton the Eis-enhower-Taft He sa id new national committee rules required state conventions to meet at least 30 days before the national g-et-together July 7. Previously, - ndiana convention would have met oriiy four days prior to the Chicago meeting.

Fresh Milk Supplies Dried Up By Strike Duluth, Superior Facing Milk Crisis 7 / Duluth, Minn., AH hut a trickle of milk was drietj up today by -the* simultaneous collapse of negotiations with striking dairy workers' along with a plan for the ertlergencl’ distribution of milk to children and invalids. Only a handful of small dairies remained to supply the needs of 250.000 residents 6f Duluth and Superior. Wis., after daylong negotiations yesterday ended in- a stalemate on both Scores. “No acceptable compromise for the emergency distribution of hiilk Was leached, nor seems likely hi : the immediate future/’ said «Dr. Mario Fischer, Duluth city health director. ' Fischer said that no new meetings were scheduled betweeiy thie major milk producing plants, city officials and representatives H;f the AFL dairy employes. f / The emergency set up had called, for 10 piilk depots tA’ be established in each” of the cities. Boy SbputTs and Red Cross volunteers were to have delivered fresh milk to “necessity" cases. • Fischer said the plan fell through when the meetings,failed to produce a satisfactory method of distribution, he did-not elaborate.. ; Federal price laws and “legal difficulties” foredoomed any possibility of transporting fresh supplies into the cities from outside thfe strike zone-. The double deadlock left residents of the twin port cities situated almost in the heart of the greatest milk producing area in the na-tion--virtually without whdle; fresh milk. Stores and daily outlets were all but denuded yesteiday of remaining supplies of fresm inilk. Some ? custodier carried “<iway adozen hot,ties. , ■ y fbrms of milk eitHier condensed, evaporated,-whole powdered or skim powdered —were still available, but Fischer’ said it was uncertain even . how . long these 1 would last., . - - .j, ' s Health ’officials Warned those few residents who hjld aetciess to whole raw milk to boil it before use. The strike called Saturday over a contract dispute by lh« daily workers seeking*'a five-day week and a ope-year contract. The d-trities belli out for a two-year qontract although they agreed to ttie five-day week, > .
