RECORD WHEAT CROP PREDICTED

More Than Billion Bushels Expected but Planting Of Corn Lags.

WASHINGTON, June 10 (U. P.). —The nation’s farmers today appeared headed for a seventh straight year of record-breaking crop production and the largest wheat crop

5!in history.

Crop prospects now are better than on the same date in any of the last 10 years except 1942, an agriculture department monthly survey

"optimistic outlook was generally well received in view of prospective continued high war food demands, expanded relief feeding and the nation’s depleted grain reserves. If present indications are fulfilled, a wheat harvest from winter and spring plantings will total 1,034,785,000 bushels. Only one before, in 1915, has wheat production passed the billion-bushel figure. A prolonged and exceedingly rainy spring was credited by the departments erop reporting board for the favorable prospects. Ample soil moisture now is stored in the soil but the size of harvests will depend partly on the growing weather from now on, it was pointed out, The outlook for corn appears “only fair” because of the late planting season, the board stated. Throughout the corn belt seeding was from one to two weeks late and it is “doubtful” if the delay can be fully overcome, it asserted.

Fruit Prospects Good

However, considerable acreage intended for other crops may be planted in corn in some areas to offset fields which will remain untilled in others. Fruit production may be of nearrecord proportions with a cherry crop 69 per cent above last year and a peach crop 60 per cent larger than 1943 now in sight. Early hay crops were termed “excellent” and the condition of pastures reported as the best since 1922, A “good-sized” barley crop was forecast and the oat output probably will be “near average,” the board said.

Lack Manpower

Problems of manpower continue to plague farmers. In areas near i booming war plants there is much complaint that few are left to work

lon farms except old men, boys and

{others listed by industry as “unemployable,” the board reported. Sharp contrasts may be noted in { the progress of crops from one sec- | tion of the country to another be{cause of the delayed plantings, it | said. In the Southwest and on the Pa-

| cific coast some rain is needed and {along the Atlantic coast rain is

| “urgently” required. But the dry | strip is only a few counties deep, ! the board said. In the South, crops have suffered from too much rain { but there “is still time” for good | harvests. In the Middle West, the "board reported “there is less time to spare,” but farmers are rapidly | catching up on field work.

Plan; Hits Consumers, Foes Claim.

WASHINGTON, June 10 (U. PJ). —Administration forces concentrated in the house today to beat back a senate-approved cotton tex-

control extension bill which they contend would be the entering

The senate voted the Bankhead

leaders that it would add $350,000,000 a year to consumer cost of cotton goods. A similarly close fight was anticipated in the house on an almost identical amendment to the OPA extension bill it is considering.

3 Factors Cited The cotton amendment in the

the OPA to base its textile price

ton parity, an allowance for manu-

facturing and marketing costs, and “a reasonable profit.” Opponents contended it would enrich textile. manufacturers and guarantee them a profit, but would not necessarily force the mills to pay full parity for raw cotton. The house also had before it an “oil parity” amendment similar to

ing hour of debate. The senate proposal, offered by Senator Elmer Thomas (D. Okla.), would have forced OPA to raise the ceiling price of “average” grade crude oil from $1.17 a barrel to $1.65 a barrel.

Other Changes O. K.'d

The senate approved, however, other amendments providing: 1. Increases, upon agreement between employer and employee, of any wage or salary up to $37.50 a week without submission to a federal agency for approval, 2. A requirement that the OPA make allowances for hazards of production and marketing in establishing price ceilings on perishable fruits and vegetables, 3. A ban against subsidies after June 30, 1945, unless the money required has been specifically approved for that purpose by congress. The house yesterday approved an amendment to its bill which would require rent control officials to adjust ceilings where landlords can show an increase in operating costs, upkeep or taxes since the date when the maximum was put into effect.

Outskirts of Key - Hunan City. By UNITED PRESS Fierce battles are raging on the northern and eastern outskirts of Changsha, but Chinese defenders of the beleaguered Human province rail junction still hold their main defense line on the Liuyang river under heavy Japanese attack, front line dispatches reported today. Enemy troops, estimated at perhaps 80,000, evidently were seeking a break-through east of Changsha in hopes of outflanking the city’s defenses. Chinese forces continuing their attack on Lungling, Japanese base on the Burma road, have occupied a portion of the town and are pressing on the northern and : eastern gates, a communique reported. South of Mangshih; Chinese troops cut the Burma road in the

vicinity of Laimeng, where they “established a strong roadblock.”

Four Jap Destroyers Sunk

In the Pacific, meanwhile, American bombers in extensive raids have sunk four destroyers and damaged another in a Japanese task force off northwestern Dutch New Guinea and attacked enemy bases from Truk in the Carolines east to the Marshalls

The Japanese warships were intercepted Thursday afternoon by Mitchell medium bombers 10 miles east of Biak island, where American troops recently captured an airbase less than 800 miles from the Philippines. One enemy destroyer and one cruiser escaped from the task force. Five Japanese planes were shot down and probably another during the attack and three American planes were lost.

Truk Gets Pounding

American Liberators from the Central and South Pacific delivered a double attack on Truk in the Carolines on Wednesday and shot down three of 25 enemy fight-

ers during one raid at the loss of a single Liberator. The Tokyo radio said 13 Liberators also raided Truk Thursday and nine others attacked Mili atoll, one of the isolated enemy positions in the Marshalls which have been raided almost daily by Central Pacific forces.
