‘The department is using ‘the price-suppart program | as an means of of
curbing production. It. has announced it will pay support prices only. to those growers who stay within allotted acrenges. The goal set for this year is 2,517,000" meres, shout 368,000 less than! were Dlatied last year and which prodiiced the expensive surplus of 100/million bushels, costing the gov< \_ernthens $80 milljon, ihe 3-State Acreage Up The department thinks the potato growers wil stay tlosé to the goals.

Year-Long Trade Climb Halted
WASHINGTON, May 28 (U, Bh: ~—PBusiness, though still good, has | stopped getting better, the come merce department reported yester-' day. While ‘noting that business remained at a high level during April, the department said “the uninterrupted expansion of more than a year was halted.”
Both upward and downward trends were evident during the month but they tended to cancel each other out, the department explained. Prices Still Rising Customer prices continued to rise except for food. That dropped 0.8 per cent between mid-March and mid-April. Clothing was up 0.2 per cent. Fuel and miscellaneous goods increased 0.7 per cent. The overall cost of living in| April, according to government figures, was 19 per cent above April 1946. Unemployment rose slightly from

The government already this-sea-| son. has bought more than 130,000 bushels of potatoes to support prices at 90 per cent of parity as required ‘by law. The purchases have been in Florida, Alabama and California. ” 26 Carloads Dumped In Florida, 26 carloads (13,000 bushels) of potatoes of poor quality were dumped. And in Alabama, more than 11,000 bushels of similar quality. were destroyed. .

Unless Mr. Beirne can carry through his plans to transform the federation into the Communication Workers of America, and operate it as a tightly-knit national union, the possibility exists that organized telephone workers will be split three ways—some sticking with Mr. Beirne, some going into the C.
