Winter Wheat Crop Below 1954 Output Substantially Less Than 1954 Output WASHINGTON (INS) — The crop reporting board estimates that planted acreage, yield per acre and total harvest of (winter wheat thia year will be substantially lower than in 1954. ' The board's forecast for May J points to production of about. 653 million bushels of 1955 crop winter wheat. Os course, there could be some improvement or further deterioration between now and harvest time this summer. Aw a result of unfavorable conditions during April, the latest forecast represents a decline during the month of about nine million busheli in estimated total production. s- in relation to the total wheat supply, such a drop has no great significance. Officials still anticipate that the U. S. will enter the new wheat crop year on July 1 with a two year's supply of the leading food grain on hand. This estimate is based on the assumption that the spring wheat crop, only now being planted in some states, will be of about normal size?—between 300 and 400! million bushels. _ r .. J If winter wheat continues to de- ; teriorate between now and the I summer harvest there could be very strong sentiment among farmers to reject marketing quotas on the 1956 crop. A referendum on this question come up late in July. The 1955 winter crop now stacks up as 17 per cent smaller than last year's harvest and about one fourth less than average produc tion during the past 10 years. In the past month, the crop in the great drought belt of the southern plains has suffered additional severe damage. This was partly offset by improved crop conditions in the Pacific Northwest and the East North Central states — the Illinois-Indiana-Ohio area. Based on May 1 conditions, this year’s yield i>er harvested acre Is now calculated at 19 and three tenths bushels. This would be considerably better than the 10 year average of 18 bushels, but it is First Show at Dusk Tonight & Thursday Esther Williams “EASY TO LOVE” Van Johnson, Tony Martin ALSO —. “Black Fury" Cartoon -m Fri. & Sat. — “The Command" & “Tennessee Champ" O—O SUN. & MON. — "Bowery Boys" A “Son of Belle Starr” Tonight & Thursday p— —j OUR BIG DAYS!

They noted that in spite of poor weather conditions in one of the main wheat producing areas, farmers apparently will be able to harvest fairly high returns per acre. Elkhart Is Host To K. Os C.

Youth Given Hope Os Gaining Parole Involved In Death Os Shirley Banker INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Francis Earl Hedrick, one of three youths involved in the murder of Fassett Hinshaw, prominent Shirley banker, in April, 1949. today had hope of getting out of prison in 1957. The board of correction recom mended that Hedrick's sentence of 10 years for auto banditry be commuted to six years, eight months from time of sentencing in 1951. Hedrick earlier had avoided a life term after a secopd trial found him guilty only of auto banditry and hot murder. Testimony was that Hedrick remained in the car at the time two companions killed the banker in his front doorway. The other two. Clarence Gorman and Lawrence Anderson, both are serving life terms at the Indiana state prison. / However, the board denied another of the many petitions from Edward (Foggy) Dean, serving life for the fatal injury during a robbery of Sgt. Lester Jones, of the Indianapolis police department. Dean's gang was attempting to hold up a Peoples Motor Coach company garage. His release was protested by the Indianapolis police department. / Case of Joseph Warren, serving life for first degree njurder after conviction in 1940 in -Morgan circuit court, was continued for psychiatric treatment. Another life termer gained a parole, however. He is Charles Booher, convicted in Delaware cir- ' cult court March 11, 1940 of killing a man who had ordered him off his premises. Sherman Wartsbaugh, convicted in Jasper circuit court on a charge of kidnaping a nine-year-old girl 1 in 1944, was turned down on his clemency petition. i IKE EXPRESSES (Continued from Page One) istration's fault because it did not take charge of the program from the s‘»e.

MOLOTOV WILL ..(Continued trom Page One) Meanwhile, the NATO ministers were not taking seriously the Soviet package plan for virtual mtti--1 tary neutralization of Germany. U. S- delegation sources pointed out that the proposals announced tn Moscow this morning were virtually the same plan that Molotov submitted to the Berlin conference early in 1954. A top ranking French diplomat declared that “such a plan would lead inevitably to American troops being withdrawn 5,000 miles and Soviet troops 500 miles.” Sources at supreme headquarters, Allied Powers in Europe, (SHAPE) said such a plan for evacuating all allied forces from West Germany would make Europe indefensible. The view prevailed that Russia had revived the plan at this time tot three reasons: 1. To offset the western initiative in proposing the .Big Four conference. 2. Prepare a bargaining position for such a conference. 3. Pave, the way for possible agreement to limit the size of East-West armed forces in ( Germany. " Trade in a Good Towij — Decatur
