Wives Die, Husbands Injured in Crash of Wheat Storage Problem Easily Solved by Nature Stamp Honoring Lafayette Was Idea of Newton Legion braced themselves for the bumper crop. They had drummed up all the storage space they could find.

Air-)lane hangars and warehouses had ijeen leased. Farmers bought bins in generous quantities. KANSAS CITY. July 13 (AP)-Mother Nature has taken care of tht Southwest's wheat storage problem by sharply cutting the yield. The bumper crop they were talking about just a few weeks ago turned out to be tne crop that wasn't there.

And neither was the storage problem. Wheat farmers and grainmen had Pratt, still have room for wheat. In Oklahoma and Texas it's the same story. Some temporary gov ernment facilities have been used but. there is no real storage problem.

All the Winter wheat belt was hit hard by the rapid deterioration of the crop. The Winter wheat yield now looks to the Agriculture Department like 932,0.05,000 bushels. That's about 105.000,000 short of its June forecast. Last year's bumper crop was 990.098.000 bushels. But by the 10-year average of 726.55.1.000 bushels it still isn't a bad crop.

It's just the difference between a squeeze on storage Tlenty of box cars have helped. They gave railroads a change to keep the crop moving and to make more room in the country elevators. Harry King, Nebraska Railway Commission rate expert, reports plenty of box cars to meet immediate needs in that state. Some country elevstprs report they still have room for more wheat.

United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. today informed Hugh L. Brinkley, adjutant of the post and author of the resolution unanimously adopted by the BOO Newton Legionnaires, that "It was a pleasure for me to introduce in the Senate a bill authorizing and directing the Postmaster General to issue this stamp." The bill, which has had the customary two readings and is now in the hands of the Senate committee on Post Office and Civil -Service, specifies "issuance of a special series of stamps in honor of the Marquis de Lafayette during the calendar year of 1949.

"The stamps are to be of S-cent denomination. "The desiRn shall be: in the center an equestrian figure, Lafayette; on the left, French troops landing in America; and on the right, American troops on the beaches' of Normandy; in colors of both nations red, white and blue."

"After our Independence had been secured, Lafayette returned twice to this country for visits, the last being in 1824 when he laid the cornerstone for Bunker Hill Monument here in Boston and placed wreaths before the monuments to Gn Nathaniel Greene and Count Pulaski." Congress appropriated $200,000 in gratitude for his services during the Revolution and struggle for independence.
