36 Nations Reach
Wheat Agreement
WASHINGTON, (A*)—A 36-na
tion wheat agreement putting a $2
a bushel ceiling price on wheat
exported by the United States,
Canada and Australia was an
nounced Saturday.
The international meat council
made public the five-year pact. It
is subject to approval by the U. S.
Congress and to ratification by the
other governments concerned.
The agreement fixes a minimum
price as well as the maximum.
The minimum will be $1.50 a
bushel in the first year, 1948-49.
It will drop 10 cents a bushel an
nually until 1952 when the mini
mum will be 51.10 a bushel.
Between the top and bottom
prices, the agreement provides,
transactions will be “freely con
cluded and prices moved in ac
cordance with market conditions.”
The 33 countries importing
wheat are pledged to buy not less
than 500,000,000 bushels from the
three exporting countries. Canada
would ship 239,000.000 bushels,
the United States, $185,000,000:
and Australia, 85.000,000.
Army Shoes To Be
•/
More Comfortable
WASHINGTON, (IF)—The army
today sounded “at ease” for little
toes. It said future service shoes
and combat boots will have
inch more ceiling room for these
digits. And as an added feature
the soles will be flattened to give
“better tranction.”
To do this, the army is changing
the last on which its footwear is
made.
The last dates back to 1912 when
the late Brig. Gen. Edward L.
Munson invented the form that
bears his name.

De Gaulle Calls
For Aid to Europe
PARIS, (Ah — Gen. Charles de
Gaulle’s call for U. S. help for an
organization of western European
states to oppose Russia claimed
the top interest of French politi
cians and newspaper today.
De Gaulle, first provisional
president of reconquered France,
declared at Camppiegne yesterday
he was ready to take over power
whenever called upon. He said
also that U. S. aid to western Eu
rope should extend also to the
field of defense.
Deputies of the national assem
bly gathered in groups to discuss
the speech.
Paris-Presse, a supporter of the
general, said “events force de
Gaulle not^to wait longer.”
The communist Ce Sai" said de
Gaulle “declared war on the re
public.” The article said de Gaulle
and Premier Robert Sehuman’s
government speak the same lan
guage and have “an exasperating
anti-communistic atiitude and a
totol submission to the foreign
policy of America.”
California Hard
Hit By Drought
SAN FRANCISCO, (VP) — A 20
per cent slash in the use of elec
trical power by drought stricken
northern California farms, indus
tries and commercial establish
ments went into effect today.
The curtailment was watched
by a 500 man patrol force estab
lished by the Pacific Gas and Elec
tric Co., to spy out violations. The
PG&E is empowered to halt serv
ice to violators.
Cattlemen said breeding stock
was being butchered or shipped
out of the state and gloomily de
clared it would take years to build
up the herds again.
Fruit and nut growers said
whole orchards may be destroyed
by lack of water so that not only
this year’s crop will be lost but
future ones as well.
A trace of rain in the valleys
and light snow in the mountains
was forecast for late today but
was not expected to help materi
ally.
