EQUALLY important was the fact that a record supply of com was on tap for producing meat, dairy and poultry products.

As surpluses were mounting almost alarmingly, the government was preparing to take action to reduce output next year. There was every likelihood that market quotas would be slapped on some of the basic crops which have been overflowing into storage in recent years. THIS YEAR'S huge output is the result of fairly large production of most individual crops, rather than record-breakin- g yields of Just a few. Nearly 128 million tons of livestock-feed grains are being produced this year, including a com crop of about 8.47 billion bushels. Last years com crop of 3.69 billion e record. bushels set an The 36.9 billion tons of food grains now estimated, though exceeded' in each of the past three seasons, is greater than in any earlier year. Included in this figure is a bumper wheat crop of 1.12 billion bushels, virtually all of which hfs been harvested. all-tim- CONGRESS: Half d Loaf The first session of the 81st con- gress headed toward an October adjournment with less than half of President Trumans program written into law. THE PRESIDENT could count 19 by his accomplishments, reckoning, at least, on the part of the congress he helped ride into office last November. Left as unfinished business for the 1950 congressional campaign, however, were a number of highly controversial proposals among the 22 requests that Mr. Truman had laid before the present session without getting final action. Chief among these is the act repeal, which was turned down in both houses during this session. The President undoubtedly will revive the issue in January, and the outcome this time may depehd upon how some special elections this year to fill senate and bouse vacancies turn out SOME OF THE other requests which Mr. Truman is almost sure to early next year will be for a system" of cbmpulsory health insurance, civil rights legiscontrol lation, standby price-wag- e and the passage of Point 4 legislation to guarantee U.S. support in developing backward areas of the world. major Taft-Hartl- PAY BOOST: O For Cabinet There was good news for cabinet members, who have been plugging along at the same old salary ever since 1929. conference A Joint senate-hous- e managed to arrive at an agreement to boost cabinet members salaries from $19,000 to $22,500 a year.

SPORTLIGHT- Some Players Slew in Own Fat By CZECH PURGE: Slow Terror terror, the kind that eventually is bom in persons living under any totalitarian government, was seeping through Communist Czechoslovakia. Cause Of it was a Red purge, aimed primarily at supposed bourgeois elements, but leaving no man, be he a Communist party member or not free from the fear that he may become a victim sooner or later. UNCONFIRMED reports of the total seized or marked for arrest in the Communist police roundups ranged between 30,000 and 40,000. No information was being given, either as to causes, results or any other details of the widespread arrests. The pattern of the purge was clear. Landlords, architects, confectioners and other small shopkeepers were being picked up and their business confiscated. In somei cases, their apartments were seized and families dispossessed. In the main, it was a drive against Czechoslovakias ' propertied classes," theoretically the mortal enemies of Marxist communism. HOWEVER, the prosecution of the property owners was accompanied throughout Bohemia fend Moravia by.) purges of government employees, the clergy, army and even the Communist ranks. Charges, where there were any, ranged from high treason and sympathy with Titoism or western to simple denunciaimperialism tions by snoopers who had overheard suspicious bits of conversaSlow tion. Possible hint as to the reason behind the purge was the report that the government is having trouble not only in its campaign to control the Roman Catholic church, but also its efforts to prod higher production out of the workers. CHINESE REDS: Win Diplomats - Was it-- a case of rats deserting a sinking ship? That might have been a plausible construction of the move as members Chinese diplomatic-staf- f in Paris deserted to the Communist regime at Peking and called on Chinese diplomats throughout the world to follow their example. GEORGE MONG, counselor of the Paris embassy, made the announcement. He reported that 11 diplomats, eight from the embassy and three from the consulate had walked out on Chiang Kai-she-k and the Nationalist at government Canton. The development posed a problem for the French foreign ministrys Asiatic affairs section. They were particularly concerned by the threat of a rebel sit-i- n at the embassy. However, the issue was resolved when the French moved firmly to back up the Nationalists and struck the dissident Chinese " envoys off Its diplomatic list - THE FRENCH - difficulty was clear.
