tion. Mr. Hoover soberly emphasized that America must bear 44 per cent of the world’s relief burden. And he said the job could not be done at all without harsh sacrifices in all lands, The cutback was expected to save about 25,009,000 bushels of wheat by June 30 when the harvest gets under way. It means that Americans will eat less wheat cereals, pastries, macaroni, sphagetti and crackers, as well as bread. - Seek Bread Price Hike It also may hit their pocketbook. Bakers were set to demand an immediate price increase to offset their reduced production. They hoped to meet with OPA within a few days. They claimed the order would mean at least a 35 per cent cut in .| domestic wheat consumption. They pointed out that the order was based on last year’s millings whereas Americans now are eating much more wheat as a result of the return of millions of servicemen. Housewives generally seemed

000 bushels of this wheat will be in the hands of the government by May 25. Farmers usually carry over that much. Both the flour and grain programs were part of a six-point plan announced by Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson to help meet the famine emergency. Must Cut Inventories The plan also limited millers and food manufacturers to trim their wheat inventory to a 21-day supply by May 1. After that date any miller o® manufacturer with more than that amount of wheat must turn it over to the government for export. . In addition, the government offered to buy an unlimited amount of oatmeal and whole oats for food relief, This government's action probably will be followed shortly by a British decision to release half »f its 1,000,000~-ton wheat reserve for famine relief immediately with the understanding that it will be replaced later by the U, 8. and Canada, The caloric level of the average American diet is about 3200 per person daily. The President's fast plan would cut that to around 2000 or less on the two fast days.

He stated that while there was little wheat reserve in Indiana, there is “a sizable amount of corn.” Mr. Sales said he believed the bonus, which was a few cents more | than most farmers had expected, would result in mass sales of all

NOBLESVILLE, Ind. April 20 (U. P.) —A Noblesville attorney went to La Porte today in a. 42d legal move to free D. C. Stephenson from a life term imposed for murder. Floyd“G. Christian sdid he hoped to file a. petition for a writ of habeas corpus in La Porte circuit court. He said it was necessary to file the petition in the county where the Indiana state prison is located. Stephenson was taken back to the institution Thursday after more than a year of temporary confinement in the Hamilton county jail at Noblesville. The former Ku-Klux Klan leader, who was returned to Indiana State Prison Thursday after his 41st attempt for freedom failed, yesterday asked Hamilton Circuit Court Judge Cassius M. Gentry. for a grand jury investigation of a death which occurred 21 years ago. ? Stephenson filed a petition with Judge Gentry for investigation of the death of Miss Edith Irene Dean, who Stephenson charged was murdered to prevent her testifying in

Miss Dean, whom Stephenson charges was to have been a star witneds for the defense, was found dying along railroad tracks at Castleton, Ind, a few days before the trial.

SUSPECT ‘AX-PLAY’ IN TRAILER FIGHT

which police believe may have involved “ax-play.” Roscoe Waltz, 65, was found with a serious head injury, lying beside his trailer home in the rear of 1552 W. Washington st. Robert Shoop, who livés in the trailer with Waltz, told officers he and the victim had engaged in a two-day argument, climaxed today: when they came to blows. Shoop first said he hit Waltz with a hammer, Patrolman Clinton Auter related. In a later version he said the fight was confined to fists.

This figure was never repudiated but February production, if maintained, would reduce it to 15.3 million. Decision to jack this up means monthly production must be raised 50 to 75 per cent in view

Politicos Wary of Loan

BRITISH LOAN is running into more trouble in the senate than administration looked for, Leaders may have to lay it aside to take up

draft renewal.

(Present draft act expires May 15.)

Senators running for re-election this year are generally lining up

against the loan. Leaders think this may indicate its defeat in house even if it passes senate, since all house members are up for re-election. Senate Republicans stand approximately, 3 tge2 against loan. ' As for draft extension: There's good chance senate will extend present law one year. It's only a chance though.

month holiday rider makes him “meanest man of the year” to some northern Democrats.

Early in 1944, the U.

More significantly, however, this decision was widely interpreted as giving public service commissions almost unlimited jurisdiction in fixing utility rates. In effect, it appeared to make public service commissions “czars” of utility regulation by narrowing the grounds on which a utility could appeal a commission “order; | observed “Public Utilities Fortnighttly," the utilities trade journal, No Particular Method,

In the Market st. railways case last year, the supreme court ruled that a commission is"fiaf required by the U. 8. constitution’s “due process” clause-to “fix rates on reproduction value of something no one would presently want to reproduce.” Neither of these decisions, however, appear to require the Indiana public service commission to use any particular method. They simply remove whatever legal sanctification the reproduction cost method derived from the 1898 decision. In the-utility industry, the principal significance of the Hope case is seen in the placing of unprece‘dented authority in the hands of regulatory commissions. There is little "check on them now, outside of the state courts. That is why the ruling in the railways case 1s being watched by other Indiana utilities, The granting of a rate increase would have the effect of a precedent in view of the new court ruling. It would thus have its effect on future utility rate questions in Indiana. It will inevitably play a part in determining whether the straphanger, and the electric power and gas user as well, will pay more for utility services, just as they are
