EXPRESS FEAR OF RESUMED

1 BLACK MARKET

Say High Corn Prices Bring Boost in Meat, Milk, Production.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 (U. P). ~Representatives of farmers and the grain industry, in rapid fire succession, urged today that the government leave price controls off grains and other farm products. ‘A long list of witnesses appeared before the decontrol board on the first of four days of public hearings

on whether to restore price con-|

trols on grains, livestock, meat, dairy - products, cottonseed and soybeans. The board must make a decision next week, Today's hearing was devoted primarily to grains. But the American Farm Bureau federation said that farmers are against the return of both price controls and subsidies on agricultural products in general. New Black Market Feared Two representatives of feed manufacturers testified that placing of price ceilings back on grains would result in renewed black market operations in livestock and poultry feeds. Walter ©. Berger, president, and Lloyd 8. Riford, chairman of the association's. board and president of the Beacon Milling Co. Cayuga, N. Y., presented the American Feed Manufacturers association's case. They said in a joint statement that the high corn prices since ceilings were suspended June 30 were “a great benefit in the production of meat, milk and eggs.” They admitted, however,

They said the government might again be faced with supporting prices on corn and oats. Liquidation Slowed Mr. Berger said removal of price controls on corn was “one of the best things that ever happened” because it slowed down the “dras-

authority. The board's first major task is to determine whether to restore price controls on grains, meat, milk and other dairy products, cottonseed and soybeans. Price ceilings on these items— making up the bulk of America’s foods—will be restored automatically Aug. 21 unless the board rules that they should continue free of price control. Board Chairman Roy L, Thompgon, a New Orleans banker, said in an opening statement that the board was approaching the “beclouded” price issue with an open mind.”

_ THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Nithau Island People Content.

4 N By KEYES BEECH, Times Foreign Correspondent HONOLULU, T. H., Aug. 12.—The isolation that has hung over Niihau island for three quarters of a century has been officially lifted. Acting upon order of .the 1945 territorial legislature, a fiveman investigating committee has visited the feudal island to inquire into the welfare of ‘its inhabitants and such related matters as communications, schools, transportation and housing. The committee's findings may be summarized by saying that Niihau, a rugged, 46,000-acre island which lies less than 100 miles from Hono(lulu, is at least 50 years behind~the times. But Niihau's 150 pure Hawalians, tall, handsome specimens of a rapidly vanishing breed, don't seem to mind. Niihau has no movies, no liquor, no tobacco, no autos and no roads, no jail, no refrigerators. Nifhau is owned in its entirety In fact, with the exception of & by the Robinson family, descend-

head of fat cattle, 10,000 equally plump sheep, 30 Arabian horses and some of the best bluegrass—imported from Australia—to be found anywhere. * Niihau also abounds in every kind of wild fowl native to these parts and some that aren't.

Horses are Niihau's only means of transportation. The only transportation between Niihau and the wellsettled island of Kauai, 20 miles away, is by whaleboat or sampan.

Steadman Teller, chief of the navy's guided missile section, said the weapons now being developed would “have seemed fantastic even to a highly imaginative comic strip artist a few years ago.” Included in Weapons

Included ‘in the experimental weapons are: Anti-aircraft missiles launched

from both ships and planes and guided by electronic beams; antisubmarine and anti-ship missiles which “will dive deep and speed unerringly to a fast maneuvering target,” and heavy missiles to be launched from subs that will make “our submarines the scourge of enemy shore installations as well as shipping.” The navy bureau of ordnance disclosed that the firepower of a new class of heavy cruisers will be | “tremenduously increased by a new | 8-inch triple rapid fire turret.” This 8-inch gun was described as the “largest ever to be completely automatic.” Other ordnance developments reported by the navy ere: An automatic 3 - inch, 70 - caliber anti-aircraft gun; adaption of the | proximity fuse to various caliber guns and a wakeless electric torpedo “undetectable even in daylight.”

The boys allegedly said they had heard a merchant seaman say the ships were furnished with costly radio and radar equipment that “would just rot there like it did after the last war” and they wanted to salvage some of the parts which they needed for an amateur radio and radar station young Culbertson planned to build. Ely Culbertson, father of Bruce, said the theft was “just a boy's prank,” and he couldn't understand why they “were treated so severely.”

PILOT ‘WALKS AWAY’ FROM P-80 CRASH

MILWAUKEE, Aw. 12 (U. P).— Army Lt. Roy D. Cooper, 29, Long Beach, Cal, today held the distinction of being one of the few pilots ever to walk ‘away from a crash of a jet-propelled P-80 Cooper's “Shooting Star” fighter plane, making a speed of better than two miles a minute, was destroyed yesterday when it crashed at the B¥ly Mitchell airport, but Lt. Cooper climbed uninjured out of the wreckage. Lt. Cooper sald he was “shaken up and nervous” but “glad to be alive.”
