Food Subsidies May Be Gradually
Eliminated To Aid Reconversion'
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, July 14-The Administration is working on plans for
shifting $1,500,000,000 in food costs to consumer pocketbooks next year,
eliminating subsidies.
The objective is to ease adjustment of farm prices to postwar condi-
tions and. to reduce government expenditures.
The subsidies involved are largely those which the government estab-
lished to prevent increases in consumer ceiling prices on important food

War Workers Stay

items while at the same time pro-
viding greater incentive for farm
production, and the so-called "roll-
back" subsidies set up in 1943 when
prices of some foods were reduced
10 per cent.
Ceilings To Be Raised
The plan calls for increases in
ceiling prices of the affected foods
to replace the subsidies.
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
is leading inter-agency discussions on
the plan.
Elimination of the subsidies would
increase the nation's total food bill
about 5 per cent, agriculture depart-
ment economists estimate. Consum-
ers are buying food at the rate of
about $30,000,000,000 a year.
Meats, Dairy Products
Food items on which the govern-
ment is paying subsidies include
meats, butter, fluid milk and most
manufactured dairy products, flour
and indirectly, bread and bakery
products, canned fruits and vege-
tables, sugar, dry beans, peanut but-
ter, lard and soybean products.
Supporting the subsidy abandon-
ment idea are several major farm
organizations and a strong bloc in
congress.
Back of the pressure to wipe out
the subsidies is concern over postwar
agricultural prices. Anderson and
many farmers expect farm prices to
go down after the abnormal war
market fades. They also expect a
public demand for curtailment in
government expenditures.
Favorable Time
Anderson believes the effects on
agriculture will be less harmful if
the subsidies are removed while prices
are high and the demand is good
rather than later when prices have
declined.
One of the principal objections
raised against subsidies is that they
put the government in the position
of paying a part of the food bill of
poor and rich alike at a time when
there is an excess of purchasing pow-
er over the supply of civilian goods
available at ceiling prices. Much of
this extra buying subsidy opponents
sayk is being used td support black
mnarkets.

Trialof Four
To Begin in
Hooper Case
Battle Creek Court
To Hear Testimony
By The Associated Press
BATTLE CREEK, Mich., July 14-
With more than the usual drama-
tics of a sensational criminal trial
in the offing, the trial of four men
accused of plotting the murder of
Senator Warren G. Hooper of Albion
is scheduled to open in the Calhoun
County Circuit Court here tomorrow.
Since an unidentified assassin
fired three bullets into Hooper's
head on a lonely stretch of Jack-
son County road last January 11,
the Hooper murder case has been
the biggest political murder in
Michigan history.
Now, the state seeks to make four
Detroit hoodlums pay a maximum
penalty of five years in prison on
the theory that they arranged the
murder for a price. There have been
official hints that prominent, weal-
thy men wanted Hooper dead to seal
off testimony Hooper had given to the
Carr Grand Jury in Ingham County
investigating graft in state govern-
ment.
The four are Harry Fleisher, de-
scribed by state police as a one-time
head of the notorious prohibition
era Purple Gang; Sam Fleisher,
Harry's younger brother; Myron
(Mike) Selik, reported by police to
have been a purple gangster, and,
Pete Mahoney, reputedly a small
time gambler.
Kim Sigler, the dramatic and color-
ful special prosecutor of the Carr
grand jury, already has unfolded, in
the preliminary examination of the
quartette ,a sordid and bizarre story
that the four coldly planned the
murder, letting neither fear of the
consequences or repeated interrup-
tions deter their plans.
Two Yanks Commuted
To Life Imprisonment
CHUNGKING, July 14 -(1)--Lt.
Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer today
commuted to life imprisonment the
death sentences of two American
privates accused of killing a 71-year-
old Chinese woman in a dispute over
a water buffalo.
The entire case will be reviewed by
the Judge Advocate General's Review
Board.
POTSDAM, July 14-
strewn with the wreckage of the German army are Versailles of 1919 and
Tehran of 1943 rolled into one, with agonized Europe and Asia alike looking
to it for help.
With Europe's chaotic peace and Asia's still fiercely-raging warfare
inextricably linked, it is obvious that the Soviet Union now stands toward
Japan in many respects similar to the, * * *
way the United States stood toward
Germany in the months preceding
Pearl Harbor.
That is why the most important
news of all may not be known about
the Potsdamn Conference for a con-
siderable time to come.
