Ary Now Stockpiling Weapons For Germ Warfare “Today «Business

WASHINGTON, May 26-—The| Army has reached the production
and stockpiling stage in development of germ warfare weapons, informed sources said today.
But it is .still U. 8. policy to i# use such weapons only in retalia-|

" Lovettt apparently had in ‘mind
the Army's progress in the biological warfare field when he recently said that Communist forces in Korea would “wish they had never been born” if they resort to germ weapons.

Japan, since few families own as much livestock as they feel they need. Cattle Prices High
In this land of 84 million people |
there are only 204,000 dairy cows.
Their price is high, too. Nearly
$300 for a cow that will give five gallons daily. Feed is a scarce item, because most of the farm land is used to produce cereals and grains so badly needed to feed the popula tion. It probably will be necessary to import some of the feed, especially concentrate, Hirokawa said through an interpreter. He was Montonaga Ohto, Chief of Economic Research and also chief liaison officer for the Japaneses Ministry of Agriculture. On a rainy day in Japan the versatility of rfce straw is demonstrated.

Near the village of Edosaki in Ibaragl prefecture east of Tokyo, was a scene said to be more typfcal of Siam than of Japan. The rice fields are so wet that canals run through the fields and workers pole their way home by boat after the day's work. Most picturesque touch of all was the young lady who had loaded a small work ox into the boat and was taking him home.

Answer to Spud Mess Is ‘Simple as ABC’
By United Press WASHINGTON, May 26-—-Two years ago, thrifty American housewives were shocked by news photographs of bulldozers scoop ing thousands of tons of surplus potatoes into pits to be burned,
Today, these same housewives are pounding the pavements from one grocery store to another, trying to find a few pounds of high-priced potatoes to garnish a stew, The . transition from feast-to-famine has been so rapid that may puzzled shoppers are writing sharp letters to their Con-
“Why can't we get potatoes?”
The answer, according to Agriculture Department officials, is as
A.~Potatoes. are scarce because the 1051 crop — which
right now-—was the smallest since 1936, about 337 million bushels. B.—~The 1951 crop was small because farmers didn’t plant as many potatoes as usual, and a

hard winter damaged ‘What they did plant. C.~~The main reason why farmers didn't plant so many pota-
toes last year was that:the Ag-
riculture Department stopped supporting potato prices at the end of 1050, and prices fell sharply. D.—The Agriculture Depart. ment acted under orders from Congress, which in turn was under heavy pressure from taxpayers and housewives to terminate the potato price support program which cost the government $605.5 million between 1942 and 1950. Thus, according to the experts, 1950’ mountains of surplus potatoes were indirectly responsible for 1952's potato shortage. How long will the potato famine last? The Agriculture Department says the 1952 crop should start coming in heavily in June, and by July there should be plenty of new potatoes in the stores. But it is not ready to guarantee that the 1952 crop will be big enough to last a full 12 months and prevent another shortage next spring. The experts hope that farmers, reacting to this year's high prices

The International Amphitheatre won the conventions away from the Chicago Stadium by promising to install the air cooling unit. The party leaned toward the Amphitheatre anyway because it offered better facilities for television. The amphitheatre officials became so enthusiastic that in addition to spending $300,000 for the air conditioning outfit—which also screens out odors from the nearby Chicago Stockyards — they changed the name of the huge arena to “Chicago Convention Building and International Amphitheatre.” The building seats 12,000 but there will be little room for spectators. ,Regular delegates alone will take up more than 1200 seats at both conventions and the parties figure they'll need 9000 seats to accomodate the delegates; al'ternates, committeemen and other personnel.
