in, its current issue, indicated that the government has been aiding and abetting the speculators by bidding up grain prices and talking up other prices through predictions of govern-
ment bureaus.
Business week, in its Qurrent issue, holds that "prices would quickly reverse themselves if the government stopped buying
grain.”
Zelomek, taking a similai stand, believes after a two-month trip abroad to study conditions that Europe is not in immediate need on our grain and that pur chases cc,uld be stopped untl the

The speculator in some markets has made tremendous profits by betting that the Marshall plan will cause a further round of exaggerated price inflation,” Zelomek said in an interview. Zelomek pointed nut that the ‘Marshall pUm” is not even yet { n plan and that Congress will do I nothing about it for some ! months yet. It has no connection j with the last advance in food
prices, he said.
That rise, Zelomek, who spent May and dune in Europe studying conditions, has been caused chiefly by two factors: “1. A reduction of the corn crop, which is basic to a great many foods, by poor weather. This has been an act of God, aiiout which nothing can be done. "2. The lack of intelligence in i the way the government has handled large exports of food, particularly grains, to Europe. This is an act of man, about which sometimes could be done.

(Continued from Page 1) In issuing the writs, Hairing ton warned police against excessive zeal in their current antigangster drive. He said there was considerable “hysteria" about crime conditions in Chicago. “Chicago has long since redeemed its reputation as the crime capital of the world." he said. Top police officials declined comment on the developments but several district captains said they would "go right on arresting every hood we see until they realize that Chicago is just too hot for them.” Many small fry already had taken the hint and were enroute for extended vacations.
