HAIL PROSPECT OF LARGE CROP
Second Largest in History Seen Despite Drought;
Corn Estimate Down. WASHINGTON, Aug. 11 (U. P..
=The agriculture department
looked forward with optimism today to the second largest crop harvest in the nation’s history, despite heavy drought losses by farmers in some east central states.
Current prospects point to a total 1044 crop production two or three per cent above last year and greater than any other previous year except 1042, the crop reporting board said. The drought was sald to center in Kentucky and Tennessee where dry weather fully as serious as the conditions of 1930 has ruined early corn and gardens and local feed shortages are feared. It extends, however, to: a much wider area— from eastern corn belt states, through Missouri, Arkansas, parts of Texas and northern Louisiana snd Georgia.
Full Recovery Possible
Nevertheless, the crop reporting board said, because the drought followed a Arid season, most cot-
ili recovery. It said the OWIOoK west and north of a line from Chicago to El Paso, Tex. was *particularly favorable.” July weather took its toll of the prospective corn crop. The estimate as of Aug. 1, was 2,929,117.000 bushels, or 51,000,000 bushels below the July 1 estimate, but still a In spite of rust and rain ‘damage in the wheat belt, the record wheat . trop made new gains in the last ‘month. The indicated 1,132,105,000bushel production would be 12 per ‘eent greater than any previous harvest, The indicated combined production of the four major feed crops— oorn, oats, barley and grain sorghums—amounts to 112,000,000 tons and would be the third largest supply on recetd. The harvest of grain sorghums alone is expected to outstrip any previous production by 30 per cent.
This Is Hay
However, the anticipated 97,000, 000-ton hay production would supply the smallest amount of hay per unit of livestock than in the last six years, the board said, and as a result, some liquidation of cattle in drought areas may be expected. Among the crops used for food, a bear-record production is now indicated for rice, beans, dry peas, vegetables for processing and truck crops for markets, but only moderate supplies of potatoes and sweet potatoes are in sight according to the survey. Deciduous “fruit: production was forecast at 21 per cent above last year, with signs the citrus crop may equal the record 1943 output. The tobacco crop made a § per eent gain over the July 1 predic. tion, the board reported. As a result of a “phenomenal recovery” following late June and July rainfall, the output of flue-cured tobacco — used in making cigarets — is now placed at the second largest on record with an indicated production of 984,150,000 pounds.
25,000 ADDITIONAL BIG TIRES RELEASED
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11 (U. P). =A “slight increase” in production of sorely needed heavy tires today enabled the rubber director to allot an additional 25000 bus and truck tires for August rationing. Civilian allotments for the month were cut on July 27 from the 165,000 requested by the office of defense transportation to 60.000. Inereased army demands were said to be largely responsible, Today's move restored 25,000 of that cut—still a small part—but declared to be essential to relieve 8 threatened transportation erisis. The ODT said in its July 27 request that many heavy motor carriers "were unable to operate due to lack Of tires.
MILK SUBSIDIES REFUSED © Times Special Applications from Posey, Vanderburgh, Warrick, Spencer and Gibson counties for an increase in milk subsidy payments for July and August have been rejected by the war food administration, it was learned today.

Fact-Finding Panel Frowns ~ On Plea for G. M. Increases
By FRED W. PERKINS Scripps-Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—The war labor board added today to its growing pile of similar matters for future consideration a report from a fact-finding panel that 254,000 employees in 70 plants of General Motors are not entitled to a general wage increase, because they have
previously been awarded all that is
part-of the administration's barricade against inflation.
This finding, said WLB, it will
consider “along with similar reports from other panels when it deter-
mines whether it should investigate further the proposals of various labor organizations that the board should seek authority.to modify the Little Steel formula.” Thus grows in importance, a situation that has never existed before in a presidential election year— A President seeking re-election must make the final decision on whether to deny or satisfy a major demand from a large and vociferous section of his supporters.
Membership Over Million
The General Motors employees in this case are members of the C. I. O. United Automobile Workers, whose president, R. J. Thomas, is secretary of the C. I. O. Political Action Committee, and is treasurer of the C. I. O. sponsored National Citizens Political Action Committee. Both organizations are fighting hard to elect Mr, Roosevelt to a fourth term. Tos The auto workers count more than a million members. in airplane as well ‘as automobile plants, and all of them are personally interested in the wage question. are the members of all the other C. I. O. unions, including the 800,000 United Steelworkers, headed by Philip Murray. Their demand of an additional 17 cents an hour is really the bell-

allowed by the Little Steel Tormmia,
which can be resolved in favor of e unions only if President Rooseon changes the directions which are contained in his executive orders controlling WLB policy. ; The steel panel, like the General Motors panel, is a fact-gnding agency with no power to make ree= ommendations. It was said today to be in position to make its report probably within two weeks, which would give the board two months before the election to make its decision on whether to seek formulachanging authority from the President to act.
Panel Divided
The General Motors panel report was regarded as generally unfavorable to the union's demands, so far as interpretations could be read into its statement of the facts it -had found. On the most important of the 26 issues, apparently the public member and chairman, Ralph J. Ziegler, publisher of the Detroit Legal News, and Walter White, assistant to the chairman of the department of commerce business ade visory council, had agreed in opposition to the views of the labor member, James B. Carey, who is secretary of the C. I. O. The panel found, however, with regard to a principal demand of the corporation, that “no evidence was introduced to show a reason under present WLB policy to deny. grants...
