Barley Delayed The report also will show that Midwest farmers have been unable to plant thousands of acres of oats and spring barley because of the wet weather. Many of these acres were to be planted in corn but the continuing rains prevented that. “This is one of the most precarious reports we've had to issue in a long time,” an agriculture department official said. “The situation is changing con-

Rail Leeder: Meet to Find ‘Formula in Union Disputes

WASHINGTON, June 9 (U, P.).—Top railroad labor and industry officials assembled here today to seek a formula for settling more than 2000 strike-threatening disputes now hanging over the nation’s railroads. «At the request! of the national mediation board, heads of the’ five so<called “operating” railroad unions and top officials of the Southern Pacific railroad sat down at the conference table. They are expected to write a plan for the “practical and final” ettlement of the grievances which had threatened to erupt into a itrike of the entire Southern Pa-

A recent survey conducted voluntarily for the committee by Dun & Bradstreet asked businessmen, industrialists, farmers, labor leaders, editors and economists what they thought about business. Heard About Rent Control

It iso got their views on rent control, farm prices, public housing and works programs, taxes, federal debt and budget, social security, consumer credit and export controls, and the idea of legal indus-try-wide controls. Having studied the answers, the committee, headed by Senator Robert A. Taft (R. 0), wants to know why these people think what they say they think. It also will toss in one new question—what effect do you think federal relief and credit for foreign countries will have on American business? After about two weeks of hearings, the committee will decide whether the situation warrants making recommendations: for govemmment and private efforts to stabilize our economic future. Witnesses to Bé Chosen A sub-committee headed by Taft select witnesses representing the groups covered by the survey. Each will be asked to speak briefly and submit in advance a statement for analysis by committee staff experts who will furnish members digests for use in questioning witnesses. This will eliminate the common, time-wasting practice of having witnesses wade through lengthy statements. The committee knows from the
