Indiana Farm Bureau Goes to Bat!
To Make Coal Companies Come Across
By ROGER BUDROW WHAT LOOKED LIKE A BOYCOTT of Indiana farm
co-operatives by some coal companies has been averted by some quick action, according to the Indiana Farm Bureau. The farm organization is telling its members how a
month ago it received letters from its largest suppliers of
coal saying that it would be impossible to ship coal on out-
standing contracts for next Farm Bureau was that these
the same time. E.| J. Fricke ‘manager of the cos department, looked into the matter and found that the coal operators had | more orders for next winter than they could fill. “Either be-{ cause of a general dislike for co-
operative organi-|
zations or because ot her outlets would permit more profit, the coal mining companies decided that the best place to trim demand to production was by Mr. Budrow chopping off the arm Buresu Co-Operative sales,” the Hoosier Farmer says. ‘Farm Bureau officials weren't par-
il ticularly surprised at the letters
from the coal operators. Several months before, figuring that something of the sort might happen because coal operators no longer had any “surplus” to sell the co-ops, Farm Bureau waived the commissions it received on several classes of coal. But that didn’t work. So they did two things. First they took an option on some coal properties in Kentucky with the idea of starting mining on their
own if necessary. And then they|. . sent their lawyer to the war pro-
duction board and the interior department in Washington. There they received = assurance that Indiana farmers would get all the coal they needed through the Farm Bureau if they so wished. They were assured that this would
_ be ‘done either by granting priori-
ties for the ‘equipment needed at those Kentucky mines or by allocating to the co-op the same percentage of total production for
this year from the mines which fur- |.
nished coal to them last year.

” BEG YOUR PARDON. Several weeks ago, in writing about the sale of Loudon Packing Co. of Terre aute to Standard Brands, the ice, as it came out in the paper, read “three billion dollars.” Poday there came a letter from James S. Adams, president of Standard Brands, which said~ in part, “I hasten to inform you that
the purchase price was not ‘three
billion dollars.’ Jhat's an awful lot of money.” Right, Mr. Adams, it is. TI guess we're just punch-drunk with billions from the way the government tosses them around nowadays. To make the record straight, it should have been three million dollars.

IGE BOX GEILING IS FIXED BY OPA
Order Covers All Wholesale Prices, Sales by Ice
Companies.
The OPA yesterday established specific retail dollars-and-cents ceilings on new ice boxes, effective next Tuesday. At the same time new wholesale ceilings were established at 60 per cent of retail base prices, plus the difference between them and the individual retail ceilings for each state, representing freight. Prevailing prices in many instances will be lowered by the new ceilings, OPA said. Three sets of retail ceilings provided are: 1. Sales by ice companies and by retail establishments controlled by ice companies. The ceilings range from $26.75 to $77.50, delivered. 2. Mail order sales by mail order houses, except through their own retail stores. These ceilings, which are for their own models, are not given separately for each state, being f. o. b. shipping point, the same as mail order houses quote their prices in their catalogues. They range from $18.95 to $59.95. 3. All other sales at retail, including sales by a retail store of a mail order house or a private brand seller. The ceilings range from $30.75 to $88.75, delivered. A Ban Forced Credit Sérvice The retail mark-ups in general continue March, 1942 prevailing practices. They were determined in a survey of OPA and after consultation with industry. Charges for extension of credit may be added by any seller if in March, 1942 he made a separate charge for this service and separately stated it to the purchaser; that the amount charged does not exceed what. he charged in March, 1942, on the same sales, and that the charge is now quoted and billed separately. Forced credit services are prohibited. On all sales a tag must be .attached’ to .the ice box giving make and model, rated ice capacity, ceiling price and selling price. tag must not be removed before delivery of the ice box to the user.

John L. Collyer, president of the B. Addressing the New York State emphasized that his prediction was policies” and that low-cost rubber would be made available throughout the world. Supporting his claim for huge post-war consumption of rubber, Collyer pointed out that pre-war per capita consumption in China was .03 of a pound and in Russia 0.3 of a pound compared with pounds per person in the United’ States. “You can see what a close of those gaps, even slightly, would
2 mean,” he said.
‘Picture Rapidly Changing’
Collyer said it was “no longer a foregone conclusion” that the Japanese would destroy Far Eastern rubber plantations as they retreat since United States synthetic capacity has grown to such proportions that East Indies rubber no longer constitutes a primary military weapon necessitating destruction. The picture is changing rapidly, he asserted, adding that soon “we shall be able to rely upon adequate synthetic rubber production.” Collyer, a pre-Pearl Harbor advocate of standby synthetic rubber o| Plants in the interest of national 9! defense, urged that these wartime plants be kept intact and in operation after the war “on at least a limited basis” producing from 150,000 to 200,000 tons of synthetic rubber a year.
volume production are the twin means of bringing the cost of synthetic rubber down to the level of the natural product, Collyer declared, pointing out that three years ago he estimated the probable cost of producing such rubber at 25 cents a pound and that Rubber Director Jeffers recently said the cost now is around 16 cents a pound. The price must be cut still further to

PERMANENT AUTO LABOR PANEL URGED
DETROIT, June 4 (U. P.).—A na0| tional war labor board panel yesterday recommended appointment of a permanent impartial umpire to settle labor disputes between the United Automobile Workers (C. I. O.) and the Chrysler Corp. The panel’s 55-page report, which if approved by the full board will affect more than. 60,000 Chrysler employees, also proposed granting of a maintenance of membership clause and provision for a check-off system of dues collections. The report scored both the union and company for permitting minor grievances to “get out of hand” to such an extent that they resulted in major strikes such as that experienced in the corporation’s Detroit plants two weeks ago.

FEED SHORTAGE SEVERE IN U. S.
Expantion of | of Livestock, Transport Problems
Cited as Factors.
WASHINGTON, June 4 (U. P.). —Farmers, dairymen and poulfrymen, already suffering from labor and machinery shortage, are now plagued in many parts of the coun-
try by scarcity of feed supplies despite 1942's production records. The feed shortage is severe in the south, the northeastern seaboard and the Pacific Northwest. But even in the Midwestern corn belt, which normally has a super-abund-ance of grain and forage, there are scarcity areas, agriculture department officials said. The feed shortage is chiefly due to two factors—an enormous expansion of the livestock population and overburdened transportation facilities. On January 1 of this year the nation was feeding 26,946,000 milk cows and heifers. The previous record number was 26,931,600 in 1934. The total of 78,170,000 head of cattle on hand as of January 1.ex-
ceeded the record set in 1934 by s
3,500,000. The number of sheep and lambs declined somewhat from last year, but chickens totaled 540,107,000, or about 14 per cent more than in 1938, the previous record.
Egg Production Up
The "agriculture department expects a 1943 pig crop of 125,000,000 head compared with last year’s rec-
ord of 105,000,000. At the same|®
time hog producers are using up additional feed by raising hog weights about 10 per cent above normal. Meanwhile, egg production per hen is about 12 per cent above normal and milk production per cow is up about 8 per cent—an indica-

FAMILY KEEPS FORD CONTROL
Edsel’s will Leaves Bulk of $200,000,000 Estate
To Foundation.
DETROIT, June 4 (U. P.).—Henry Ford’s own method for disposing of his world-famous industrial empire was apparent today in the will of his only, son, Edsel B.. ‘Ford, late president of the Ford Motor Co.
the public—education, science and charity—ultimately reap . virtually all of the profits of the multi-mil-lion-dollar corporation he founded in 1903 with a cash investment of only $28,000. At the same time, however, he is determined to keep control of the world’s greatest privately-owned industrial enterprise in the Ford family as long as possible.
Reduces Government Levy . Edsel Ford left the bulk of his estimated $200,000,000 estate—41'% per cent of the non-voting stock of the Ford Motor Co.—to the Ford Foundation, a non-profit corporation organized by father and sen in 1936 to finance scientific, educational and charitable projects. He divided the same percentage of voting shares equally among his widow, Eleanor Clay Ford, and four children, oldest of whom is Henry Ford II, 26. Edsel Ford's double-barreled ac-
levies against his personal fortune to about $12,000,000 and enables his widow and children to share with his mother and father control of the manufacturing firm valued at $718,000,000 in December, 1941.
3,452,900 Shares Outstanding
Significance of Ford’s grant to the foundation is readily apparent from a study of the Ford Co.’s corporate structure. There are 3,452,900 shares of $5 par value stock outstanding in the company, a Delaware corporation, but only 1/20th of them or 172,645 are class B or voting stock. Edsel Ford held 41% per cent of both types of stock, his mother 3% per cent and his father the remainder. Although the Ford Foundation holds only non-voting stock, these shares participate equally in the earnings of the automobile company. This assures the organization a large portion of Ford profits now, presumably even greater income upon the elder Ford's death. The Ford Foundation now uses its funds to help maintain Greenfield Village, Ford's collection of Americana, the Edison Institute at Dearborn, the Greenfield Village schools and Henry Ford hospital here.

NEW YORK, June 4 (U, P.).— “political machinations”

Potter of Woodbridge, Conn., last night severed all connection with the OPA, Potter, who previously had been discharged as district director, said he would not “accept the post of executive assistant to the regional director, and told Sylvan Jgseph, regional administrator, that the situation within the OPA is “more insidious than a black market.” “I could not fulfil my duties sincerely knowing that the OPA is under the thumb of political bosses Ed Flynn (former Democratic na=tional chairman), Frank Kelly (Brooklyn political leader), Mike Kennedy (leader of Tammany Hall) and Senator James M. Mead (D. N. Y.),” he said in a letter to Joseph. Patronage Squabble
Potter, who said he was resigning because of efforts to create a politi= cal patrqnage machine in the OPA, wrote Joseph that he was “shocked when you told me that tbe reason for my removal as acting director was a purely political one, namely that you were ordered by Ed Flynn, Mike Kennedy and Senator Mead to put their suggested candidate, Frank Russell, in the job.” In Rochester, N. Y., Pottar said, he selected Joseph Patterson as district director, but Monroe County Democratic Chairman Roy ¥. Bush favored John Curtin. “You will recall there was trouble over this appointment,” Potter wrote Joseph, “because this candidate of Bush was a Bennett man rather than a Mead man.” Former New York Attorney Gene eral John J.

0DT DELIVERY cy EXEMPTION GRANTED -
The office of defense transporta=tion has issued two general permits granting exemptions from certain delivery restrictions, George F. Bur= nett, Indianapolis ODT manager, announced yesterday. One permit covered wholesale deliveries of motion picture film for exhibition. Wholesale film delivery routes or areas may be served on any six days in a calendar week. However, only five deliveries may be made to each destination, and those must be made to theaters, hospitals, charitable institutions or military establishments. Wholesale deliveries of burial equipment were covered by a sece fond permit. The exemption on burial equipment provides that two, instead of one, deliveries may be made when the second load being delivered consists exclusively of caskets, rough boxes or burial guarments destined to an undertaker’s office for immediate use.
