Record Exports Cut U.S. Wheal Surplus Nation's Surplus Is Under Billion Mark WASHINGTON. (UP) — The Agriculture Department said today record exports cut the nation’s wheat surplus below the I billion-bushel mark to 905 million ! busheli. The department reported the huge near record surplus of last i vear was down 128 million bushels July 1. Moreover, the department forecast a possible big new cut to come. With a 1957 crop down from last : year and exports likely to continue 1 relatively high, the surplus may drop to 830 million bushels by the end of the 1957-58 marketing year, ' the department said in the 1958 ‘outlook issue of "The Wheat Situa- ; tion.” __ The 547 million bushels of wheat exported iri the 1956-57 marketing year compares with 346 million I bushels in 1955-56 and the previous .record of 504 million bushels in 11948-49. A large part of the ex- ; ports were moved under government export subsidy and foreign aid programs. I Domestic consumption of wheat 'in 1956-57 dropped to 587 million bushels, down 14 million bushels ■ from 1955-56 and the smallest I amount since 1921-22. The departi ment said the reduction was due to the smaller quantities used for feed and seed. August Crop Down The Commodity' Credit Corp, owned about 830,400,000 bushels of the 905-million-bushel carryover on July 1 and an additional 22,200,000 bushels were under loan. About 253 million bushels of the 1956 crop were place'd under the price support program. Os this, about 133 million bushels had been delivered to the CCC by July 1. The August crop report estimated the 1957 crop at 915 million bushels, down 82 million from 1956. Tlie crop plus the July 1 carryover plus imports of about 8 mestic consumption in 1957-58 will million means a total supply of 1.828,000,000 bushels. This is 211 million bushels less than last year’s record supply. The department predicted dototal around 600 million bushels, a little more than 1956-57. Exports were predicted at about 400 million bushels, sharply below 1956-57 but above most other years. This would leave a carryover next July 1 of about 830 mllion bushels, down 75 million bushels from the surplus this year but larger than inany other year before 1954. The department predicted the price to farmers in 1957-58 may average near the national support level of $2 a bushel. The department also predicted large quantities will be placed under support and said prices will advance seasonally so that farmers by next spring will redeem substantial amounts to satisfy market needs. Bank Participation Good The department's goal for soil bank participation by wheat farmers for 1958 is. 7 million to 9 mil-

lion acres. Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson told a news conference earlier this week soil bank participation by wheat farmers will be “pretty good,” although "not as heavy” as for the 1957 crop. The situation report said favorable moisture, conditions at planting time would tend to reduce participation in the soil bank program while drought would have the opposite effect. About 12,800,000 acres of wheat were deposited in the soil bank in 1957. If 8 million soil bank acres are withdrawn from production next year, the remaining acreage would produce a crop of about 850 million bushels. This would result in an even smaller carryover on July 1, 1959. The department said the rye supplies on July 1 were 36,400,000 bushels, about an eighth below last year. The rye carryover was 6,600,000 bushels. The carryover is expected to rise to 8 million bushels by July 1, 1958. The department said world wheat trade in 1956-57 set an alltime record of more than 1.200,000,000 bushels. This resulted largely from below normal crops in many importing countries and the special export programs of the United States. Resume Parley In Strike At Detroit Major Daily Papers Out For Sixth Day ■ .«) DETROIT (UP) — Negotiations resume today aimed at ending a six-day mailers strike that has stopped publication of all three of the city’s major newspapers. Members of a joint craft union committee and representatives of the Detroit Newspaper Publishers Assn, were to meet to try to end the walkout begun when the Detroit News discharged 67 mailing room employes last Saturday. So far the Detroit News refused to bargain with the striking International Mailers Union, because the paper does not have a contract with the union, formed last November by dissident members of the International Typographical Union. The independent IMU claimed to represent 450 mailers at all Detroit dailies. IMU President Ray Brown said the union will not call off the strike until the 67 mailers are rehired by the News. Any attempt by the publishers to get an injunction against the IMU and Teamsters Local 372 failed Tuesday when Circuit Court Judge Horace Gilmore ruled state courts are wiZout jurisdiction ia the dispute. Gilmore said the striks issues could be resolved only by the National Labor Relations Board. , The mailers union charged the men were fired for refusing to work during a rest period between two 15-hour shifts. The News said the mailers were asked to work overtime Saturday because of an emergency resulting from a machine failure. UNION (Cowllwwed o»w Page O»«> were looking for ways out, rattier than ways to enforce the law” in connection with the scandals. PlKup 2nd pgh: The Tinies The Times, a, Scripps-Howard newspaper, commented on the situation after a Lake Comity grand jury declined to indict in the TriState Expressway landbuying deals involving high officials of the carpenters union. “The whole Lake County affair, including this ridiculous 'investigation' by Prosecutor Metro Holovachka and the grand jury, is such a depressing mess as to be almost unbelievable,” the editorial said. - The Times said that Holovachka’s “glad announcement” that Frank M. Chapman, general treasurer of the carpenters, had returned $78,416 in profits from quick land deals was “about the same as letting a bank robber go free if he’d just return some of the loot.” “Mr. Holovachka. . -now washes his hands, while claiming credit for being a splendid bill collector.” The Times suggested ttiat if Prosecutor John Tinder investigates the Lake County deals in Marion County “that he might call Prosecutor Holovachka as a witness and try to find out what really happened

(UP) — A widowed mother told her 14-year-old mentally retarded son to “kiss me goodby" and then shot him to death during a visit to the Manteno State Hospital. The mother, Mrs. Vera Durant, 46, Chicago, was apprehended by a hospital attendant and held today in Kankakee County jail.

Laffey that Mrs. Durant entered the diagnostics building on the hospital grounds at the start of Wednesday afternoon’s visiting hours. The mother and son sat in the visiting room, along with several other visitors. Near the end of the visiting period, Mrs. Durant was overheard to say, “Kiss me goodby.” A shot rang out and the boy fell to the floor. Laffey said none of the persons in the room apparently saw the actual shooting. , Mrs. Durant left the visiting

Laffey said the mother appeared to be near hysteria when brought to jail. “She will talk about everything but the shooting,” the sheriff said. “She undoubtedly won't talk about that until she sees a lawyer." The weapon was found under a table at the hospital. Mrs. Durant, whose , husband died in 1943, has two other sons, Donald, 19, and Edward, 17. Authorities said the dead boy, in addition to being mentally retarded, was a deaf mute. The boy had lived three years in an orphanage when younger, .gid was committed to Manteno last March.

Estate Bought By Union In Indiana Bought By Teamster Union From Mobster MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. (UP)-A country estate identified by a Senate rackets committee as having been purchased by two Teamsters Union locals from a Capone gang mobster is located on Lake Michigan at Long Beach, Ind., near here. The committee said two J of James R. Hoffa’s Detroit locals paid $150,000 for the estate of Paul (The Waiter) Ricca, but Hoffa said at the committee's hearing in Washington Wednesday that he did not know Ricca nor whether Ricca was involved in the deal for the property. The property is a four-acre lakefront estate with a two-story home and several small guest houses, tennis court, oval stone and concrete swimming pool, surrounded by a high fence. LaPorte County deed records showed the estate was deeded by a trust company at Crown Point to Detroit Locals No. 299 and 337 about a year ago. Two months ago, a Teamsters representative appeared at a
