Committee Kills
Measure Raising
Ceiling on Corn
Body Will Propose
Another Method Of
Meeting Emergency
WASHINGTON. July 8 —(**>—
The house agriculture committee
voted 9 to 6 today to kill a sen-
ate approved measure lifting the
corn ceiling price from $1.07 to
$1.40 a bushel. Chicago basis.
The committee, however, de-
cided to meet again later today
to discuss alternative legislation
i or other means of dealing with
j the emergency corn situation with-
I out congress going so far as to
1 set a price for a single commodity.
Congress had shunted the bill
to raise the price of corn 33
cents a bushel to the house agri-
culture committee while senate-
house conferees renewed their
j struggle to find a compromise on
I anti-subsidy legislation.
Tlie senate-approved corn price
resolution further complicated the
controversy over the subsidy-roll-
I back program because the move
to outlaw subsidies is attached to
I a bill extending the life of the
Commodity Credit corporation.
Machinery Jeopardized
Unless the conferees reach a
compromise acceptable to an anti-
subsidy congress and a pro-sub-
sidy administration, the CCC is
doomed. And with the CCC would
die the logical machinery through
which the administration other-
wise would finance the subsidies
believed necessary under the corn
price resolution.
The Big-Four farm organiza-
tions are urging congress to strike
down subsidies a second time even
though it is obvious that Presl- j
dent Roosevelt will again veto any
legislation outlawing them.
Meanwhile, the prospects of con-
gress starting its summer recess
immediately are doubtful. Capitol
prophets crossed their fingers and
ventured this opinion—the start
of a congressional summer recess
tonight is possible but not prob-
able.

GARDEN CITY, Kan.. July 8—
(U.R)—Western Kansas farmers piled
their excellent 1943 winter wheat
crop in farmyards and fields today
as the boxcar shortage situation
became steadily more acute.
The crap, exceeding ail expecta-
tions in this part of the state, was
caught In the bottleneck of trans-
portation. Virtually all bins will
be filled by next week. The har-
vest is expected to continue an-
other two weeks.
This city, usually thronged with
heavily loaded trucks throughout
the day during the harvest pe-
riod. now sees no trucks from mia-
morning to night.
The railroad has allotted each
of the four elevators here two
cars dally, only one-fifth of the
loading capacity. Farmers quickly
learned it was futile to leave their
homes with loads of grain after
6 o'clock In the morning unless
Trucks are waiting in line at the
elevators at dawn Some farmers
come Into town at night, sleep on
their grain and get first places at
the scales the following morning.
Governor Andrew Schoepel last
week received assurance from the
Commodity Credit corporation that
the long haul of old crop wheat
to eastern points would be ended
this week, making the cars avail-
able for shorter hauls Into the
Kansas City terminal
Much old crop wheat, held on
the farms and In interior elevator^
has been shipped to eastern points
for the manufacture of industrial
alcohol. The eastern haul tied up
cars for from two to three weeks.
Ellsworth Sherman, former state
legislator, who is .believed to have
grown more wheat in the last
three years than anyone else in
the United States, reported today
they were willing to haul It back I that he was filling his bins to
