MTTSCATINB-JOURNAL AND NEWS-TRIBUNE MONDAY, MAY 3, 1943 Bids of Swine Prices At Chicago Steady Chicago. May Official estimated salable livestock receipts for tomorrow! Chicago (ff) A few hogs brought as much as $14.85, a gam of 10 cents over last week end, in the early market today, but final prices were about with little going' at more than $14.75. Most 150 to 180 pound offerings sold at $14.25 to $14.65 with sows bringing $14.35 to $14.60. Receipts were somewhat above and were considerably more than last Monday, but meat packers holding government contracts were unable to obtain their slaughtering needs at any discount in hog values. Salable totaled 13,000 head against a week ago.

More steers and yearlings also were placed on sale than last Monday, and buyers managed to force quotations lower. Losses mainly confined to 10 to 15 although some offerings were down as much as 25 cents. Little brought more than $17.25, although a top of $17.60 was paid for strictly choice types. Fat lambs were under pressure in recent weeks, falling about 25 cents on opening rounds. Wooled offerings ranged from $15.65 to $16.00.

New York Bonds New'York, May 3 Select- Extension Group Making Plans To Fill Labor Need Arrangements are made by the Iowa State- College extension service to carry out the order to move into action on the labor front as provided by the recent Farm Labor bill. This bill consists of instructions from congress for the extension service to recruit and place labor as well as carry on education programs of labor training and labor saving tary said he thought the field trip a better method. "Mr. Jeffers is a practical man and I hope I am," he said. "We have-high hopes that we will achieve something." Combat tosses Low Patterson also disclosed to the committee ihat the percentage of American planes lost in combat was "considerable less than hall" of what the war department had expected.

The announcement came as.he departed from a prepared statement to inform the committee that the shortage of 100 octane gasoline was made even more acute by this "very encouraging factor." "Our gasoline requirements in the.past," he said, '''have taken into acount the assumption that a certain percentage of planes will.be lost in combat each month. "From combat experience we are today finding that the percentage of planes actually lost In combat has been much lower than the anticipated percentage. In othei words our success in air cotnba' has been much greater than we expected, with smaller losses planes. "And I might add that the percentage Is considerably less than half of what we expected." Patterson told the committee he nation's armed forces -are fac- n'g with "a serious shortage of 100 -ctane gasoline." Questions Nelson Statement Nelson, Patterson testified, "was mistaken" when he told the com- last week that the ground- ng of planes for operational, train- ng in this country was the re- of faulty distribution' rather han "over-all shortage" and tha the gasoline might be "at the wrong points."

Hoopes, farmer and B. Idsinga of Heinz and decided that one of the greatest problems Is the hadling of special crops in Muscatine county as well as working out short-cuts during the present crop season. War crops are making a demand for extra labor and every effort will be made to see that the necessary labor needs are met for the production and harvest of war crops including both tomatoes and soybeans. An agreement has been made with school authorities so that special consideration can be given boys and girls in order that they may help harvest the tomato crop even delaying the opening date of school if necessary. The Musatine service clubs have agreed to help recruit extra labor in Muscatine if the neec arises.

If the labor supply is insufficient to handle the work a U.S. crop corps will be recruited. In a survey recently made in the county, need for 125 farm Xo. 3 Xo. sample pracle white Barley matting: to SI.07 nominal: feed to nominal.

It was the first American raid from British bas-es race April 17 when 16 pianes vere lost over Bremen.

Other angles of the air war ncluded the German announcement that raiders, presumably Russian, again struck sharply at £ast Prussia, and the disclosure a Finnish communique of un- isual aerial activity on that dormant front.

Mr. Roosevelt did not mention Lewis by name, but his appeal to the miners whose full scale walkout followed the latter's call not to "trespass" on company property without a contract came just 20 minutes after the UMW chieftain had announced the truce in New York.
