Clinton Anderson of New K - came to Anderson, white- tell him akout the mil- bribe offer to get him to change the ban on Canadian rye and include it in the huge shipments we are making to Eur- ope. Questioned by this column, Trigg refused to reveal the name of the man who he admitted had said “it would be worth a million dol- lars” to the rye speculators if he would change his mind about buy- ing Canadian rye. Trigg also admitted that if he had given the word on Canadian rye, he probably could have col- lected the million dollars. His word on rye purchases, he said, was fi-} jal. He also said he had attended conference with Secretary Bran- nan at which two Senators urged | him to buy Canadian rye, and that Brannan turned down the Sena- tors and backed him up. he would buy of g faced to lion-dollar Rye Ban Reversed The shocking thing, however, is that almost immediately after gg left the Agriculture Depart- his successors reversed his ion and began buying huge quantities of Canadian rye. | This did two things. 1.1t meant millions to the big speculators who had been buying up Canadian rye on the gamble that they would lobby the De- partment into changing its ban. 2.It meant discrimination against American farmers who gTOW Tye. perts agree that there was am- ple American rye on hand to meet European shipments. These are made under the Marshall plan to Germany and Austria which use rye bread. Furthermore, the purchase of Canadian rye was really a means undermining the U. S. price- support system for the benefit of | the speculators. What they | did was buy Canadian rye—which has no price support, bring it into United States, then sell it in country which has price sup- orts. Thus by buying low in Can- selling high here, they killing. res on government rye pur- chases since Secretary Brannan reversed Trigg’s ban on Canadian of big and a rye show why it was worth a mil- lion dollars to get this reversal. For rye purchases suddenly shot up. During the 12 months ending June 30, the Agmulluxe Depart- ment purchased about 3,700,000 bushels of rye for 'A. But over one-third of this was purchased in April, May, and Jupe— after “the ban on Canadian rye was lif- ted. Simultaneously, Canada also shot up. Of 4,000,000 bushels imported from Canada during the 12-month period end- ing June 30, approximately 1,000,- 000 bushels came in during June. Obviously, this bears out Trigg's fear that, once the Canadian ban was lifted, rye would start pour- ing into the United States. The excuse given by the big rye imports from dealers in lobbying with the Ag- riculture Department was that they had bought Canadian rye and got it mixed up with Ameri- can rye. Therefore they couldn't tell which was which and wanted the department to buy both Can- adian and American. rye from them. Gus Geissler, who succeeded Trigg in charge of production and marketing, claimed to know no- thing - about this sudden reversal. He_ said he didn't, know whether the Agriculture Department was | buying Canadian rye or not. “Aren't you the one who makes the. decision whether to buy Can- adian rye?” he was asked. “Yes,” was the reply, “but the authority is delegated.” Meanwhile the mystery grows as to who made the decision for which a million-dollar offered and which cleaned many millions for speculators. Note—Secretary of Agriculture Brannan has been in Europe. Senator Wiley’s French The eight Senators who traveled with genial Alexander Wiley thru Europe recently are still telling their colleagues about Wiley’s use of French. The Wisconsin Senator say “parlez vous” and up could “merci,” but he couldn't seem to work his; words into the right places. Being from Wisconsin, naturally he knew the French word for butter — “beurre.” But ordering breakfast at the Hotel Bristol in Pal Wiley boomed out in English, “Boy! boy!” and started giving his order to | the scurrying French waiter. “Your room numbaire, s'il vous plaint,”, the waiter kept repeating. “I don't want any butter,” pro- tested Wiley, apparently confus- ing “baire” with “beurre.” Senator Gillette finally broke in and explained, “he wants to know your room number.” “Well, why didn't he say so?” thundered Wiley. “Doesn’t any- body speak United States around here?” From Army Files The Army administrative cen- ter in St. Louis, which processes family allowances, has collected some prize letters from G. I. de- pendents. The Colonel in charge admits he’s been collecting them for several years, but anyway here are some excerpts. “Please send by elopment,” wrote one G.I. wife, “as I have a 4- months old baby and he is my sole [support and I need all I can get every day to buy food and keep him in close.” Another scolded: “I have al- ready wrote the President, and if I don't hear from you, I will write to Uncle Sam about you both.” “You have changed by little boy to a girl, does this make any dif- erence?” inquired an anxious mother Here are some excerpts from the Army’s St. Louis files: “This is my eighth child, what are you going to do about it?” “Sir, T am forwarding my mar- riage certificate and my to child- ren. One is a mistake as you can see.” “Please send me a letter and tell me if my husband made appli- cation for a wife and baby.” “I am writing you to tell you that my baby was born two years ago and is to years old. When do | I get relief?” “I gave borth to a boy weighing 10 pounds. I hope this is satisfac- tory.” “T can’t get my pay. I got six children, can you tell me why this is?” bribe was | Marine ‘Monsfer’ Story Debunked By Biolegist How does a whale loose its head? A headless marine ‘“monster” found on a beach at Shuyak Is- land near Cook Inlet three weeks ago has been Identified by Victor B. Scheffer, Fish and Wildlife | Service research biologist at Se- lattle, as a large baleen whale Speculation has it that the whale may have lost its head in a mine, ship’s propeller or an- other whale may have decapitated him with one big bite. “Sea monsters” have been re- ported all over the world. This is |one time that belief in such a | “thing” has been blown to the | four corners of the compass. Faul- !t\ vision, no specimen, and a lack of reliable witnesses have been offered in the past as reasons for no credence in unknown animals. Indusirial Board Upheld by Circuit Court in Injury Case SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 11—® __The U. S. Court of Appeals ruled today that the Alaska Industrial Board may make award to workers for both temporary and permanent disabilities resulting from the same accident. The power of the board to do so was challenged by Libby, Mc- Neill and Libby, a corporation, in fighting payments of damages to two Seattle fishermen injured while in the company's employ in 1948. The fishermen were John Landro, 48, who suffered back injuries in two falls, and Peter Lathourakis, 62, who received head and chest in- juries in a collision between a com- pany fishing boat and fishing barge.
