= NATION Fai NEW FOOD CUT

Farm Production Expected To Be Down 5 Per Cent.

WASHINGTON, May 19 (U. P.). —American ‘farmers are expected to raise 5 per cent leds food this year than they did last year.

This was announced today as the

government began paying out a new $40,000,000 meat subsidy. Meanwhile, a congressional com=~ mittee prepared to make recommendations to alleviate the sugar shortage. The agriculture department. said | most of the expected drop from | last year's record-breaking production would be caused by smaller slaughter of meat aimals. This year's total farm output will| be 32 per cent higher than prewar food production, the department said. However, it pointed out, the per capita supply for U. 8. civilians| will drop § to 7 per cent from last | year's figure. Call It Adequate This will bring civilian food supe |

plies down to only 2 to 4 per cent smaller, The flight of German civil- fattry divisions, the 17th airborne Accord-| {ans from both the Ruhr and Rhine division, and various noi- ~divisional one- areas was. offset by the mass of dis-|units of all branches are attached third of the nation was on a sub- | placed persons, mostly slave labor-|to the 15th army.

products than last year. “Prospective supplies will be more than adequate in all parts of the U. 8. to meet all essential food needs according to present dietary standards,” the department said in its first prediction of 1945 food: production.

Subsidy in Effect

Meanwhile, the government be- judge federal court today that the last week, indicated that the case/

gan putting into effect the New| meat subsidy program announced | yesterday by War Mobilizer Fred | M.: Vinson. |

Designed to encourage production; of high grade beef cattle, the new|

. subsidy will cost taxpayers between |

$35,000,000 and $40,000,000 annually, It will consist of payments to cattle feeders—long demanded by congressional food investigators, These! payments will amount to 50 cents per hundred -pounds for top grade | animals weighing 800 pounds or more and selling for at least $14.25 per hundredweight, The seller must | have cwned the cattle for at least 30 days. 4 In addition to the feeder subsidy, Vinson alsp:

ONE: Assured producers that livestock ceiling prices would not be reduced without six months advance notice. This, Vinson said, should insure cattle dealers against changés and should encourage movement .of cattle into feed lots. TWO: Increased the present sub- | sidy on both beef and pork to packing firms to ease a price “squeeze”

on them. The pork subsidy was|

upped 40 cents per 100 pounds, retroactive to April 1. It will be revised again’ after completion of .a study of costs. The beef subsidy will go up 25 cents per 100 pounds on June 4. THREE: prove the distribution of meat supplies, Vinson said the government henceforth - would buy more meat from plants with heavier slaughter and less from those with light production.

Produced $23 Million War Goods.

By ROGER BUDROW Times Business Editor By borrowing $4 million from the government's .Smaller War Plants Corp., a number of small concerns in Indiana have been able to produce some $23 million worth of waz! material, The SWPC also has assisted small business in Indiana in getting $56 million worth of prime and subcontracts and now is setting up to aid small concerns getting ready to reconvert to civilian production.

This report was given here today |

by local SWPC officials, who met with Laurence F. Arnold, of Washington, a SWPC director,

} Raw Materials

With congress now discussing how much money it will appropriate for SWPC rations, Mr. Aronld is touring the Midwest, outlining the government agency's plan for postwar. Mr. Arnold said the SWPC has persudade the war production board to set aside a certain proportion of the avajlable raw materials, such as steel, for the use of small | businesses reconverting to peace- | time output. “The big fellows can take care of themselves,” he said.. “A ton of steel might be nothing to a big company but a life-or-death matter to a small one.”

Terms Outlined

Small businesses will be given a preference in ‘buying surplus war property, Mr. ‘Arnold said. He

added that not mich. had been de- |

| clared surplus yet. The SWPC will trade old machinery for the newer governmentowned machinery, taking the old as & down payment. — The SWPC terms in buying such surplus | machinery are 15 per cent down and one and one-half per cent a month over five years, Another method of assistance will be loins on termination of war contracts. The SWPC can lend up to 75 per cent of the termination claim, so the war manufacturer without adequate cash reserves will have money to pay for reconversion costs.
