A sizeable supply sold at $2735 to $27.65. During the week the average cost of steers and yearlings uncov. ered an all time record, standing at $25.51 on Wednesday, as com pared with $25.40 one day late last October after price recontrol had shot the top on fed steers to $37.00. While the top is lower now. medium and low-good steers com mand higher pricey than at that time, thereby narrowing the price spread.

DAK, gft.m -a By WILLIAM FERRIS Chicago, June 7 IP) Rains and floods In midwestem agricultural areas, creating apprehension over the crop outlook, were responsible for price advances in corn and oats on the Board of Trade today. Wheat weakened under hedging pressure.

All oats contracts reached new seasonal highs, as did July and September corn. The July corn contract sold at the highest price of any yellow cereal future here since May, 1920, when $1.97 14 was reached in the inflationary boom after the first World war. Best prices were not maintained, however, as heavy profit-taking entered feed grain pits in the final half hour of trading. In wheat selling became more pronounced and the July contract, meeting increased hedging, dropped 5 cents under the preceding clce. Trading on the late downturn became extremely active, particularly In the last 10 minutes when numerous stop-loss orders were uncovered.

Final prices were close to the day's lows. Wheat finished VA-VA lower, July $2.23 i corn was 2'i lower to higher, July and oats were higher, July 97'i-U. Rains and floods were reported from southeastern Nebraska, southwestern Iowa, northwestern Missouri and northeastern Kansas. In the Texas and Oklahoma winter wheat belts, however, the weather was mostly clear. This should aid in harvesting the new crop, traders said.

An official estimate said that 37 per cent of the winter wheat acreage seeded for the 1947 crop was lost. Standing wheat acreage on June 1 was 8,232.000 acres, including re-sowing and spring plantings of 2,122,000 acres.

Congress isn't showing any signs of making it easier although Rep. Hale Boggs, Louisiana Democrats, has offered a bill to do Just that.

The bill went to a committee, then to a sub-committee, for con sideration which hasn't started. And this session of Congress is almost over. The bill, if It became law, would do this: By writing to the congressional library, any newspaper editor or group of 10 or more citizens could get any congressman's voting record free. (Boggs said he made it a group of 10 or more citizens Just to prevent some individual "crackpot" from bothering the librarians. The congressional library now keeps a record of every congress man's voting and gives it to him at the end of the year but Just his own.

You, as a citizen or editor. couldn't write to the library and get your congressman record. Not even a congressman can get from the library the voting record of any other congressman. The library won't give it to him. 9- House Appropriations Committee Balks How then can you, a private citizen, get a record of your congressman's votes? Here are three ways: You can write, but must pay for the service, to a private Washington organization which keeps such records.

If your local library has it, you can search through the congressional record of each day's work In Congress. That's a gigantic task. You can look up the fllea of your local newspapers. Papers which print votes in congress generally use only those on major issues. Why won't the congressional library give even a congressman the voting record of another congressman? There's no law against it.

This writer asked top people in the library, and, in brief, got this answer: "We did it until 1942. Then congress or, rather, the appropriations committee of the House, indicated strongly it wanted us to stop doing it." (That powerful committee decides how much money a government agency, like the Congressional Library, can have to keep running.) Library Afraid of Embarrassment This is what the librarians meant by that statement: In 1940 a House member ran against a Senator, for the latter seat, and defeated htm. The House member got the Senator's voting record from the library and the Senator got the House member's record the ssme way. They used those records in the campaign. Two years later members of the appropriations committee remembered that campaign.

When the librarian, Dr. Luther Evans, went up before them to talk about money for the library, the record shows he was told this: The money congressmen vote for running the library shouldn't be used for gathering Information (voting records) to be "used against" them, A committee member further said that if the library kept this up "you will find it embarrassing to you some of these days."
