Show THE SAUNA SUN. SAUNA. UTAH WHEAT STORAGE: Wiehard Gets Bins WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS The answer to a question that has troubled Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard tor weeks past came from the War Production board in the form of a Yes. The Yes was that he can have a large supply of lumber and wire nails to build bins on thousands of farms for storage of 200 million bushels of excess wheat. With grain elevators already pressed for storage space and transportation facilities straining under a e peak, the problem of what to do with surplus wheat was becoming serious. With an estimated new crop of 811 million bushels added to a C30 million bushel carryover, the United States would have bushels this summer.' Domestic consumption and immediate shipments abroad would .take 721 million bushels. Of the 718 million bushels remaining, storage space would be available for 500 million bushels.. The remaining 218 million bushels would have to be stored in farm bins built with lumber and nails.

Permanent Rations From Washington came the announcement that a permanent gasoline rationing system had been devised by the Office of Price Administration for the East coast that would entitle motorists to an average of 2,880 miles of travel annually, or about 55 miles weekly. It was indicated that the system would become effective on July 15. Observers were of the opinion that the new plan might serve as a model for nation-wid- e gasoline rationing when that measure is deemed essential to conserve rubber tires. The new plan would eliminate the X controversial cards entitling their holders to unlimited quantities of gasoline. Eerie Why do you always sing the same song? It haunts me.

The rival attorney was an effective jury pleader and he completely outshone his youthful rival in the argument to the jury. However, he made one fatal mistake. He orated for several hours. As he thundered on, Roosevelt noticed the jury wasnt paying much attention. So when his turn came he rose and said: Gentlemen, you have heard the evidence. You also have listened to my distinguished colleague, a brilliant orator. If you believe him and disbelieve the evidence, you will decide in his favor. Thats all I have to say.

As he stood looking down into the depths of the amazing natural wonder, reporters all around him waited breathlessly for a comment that would go down in history. After a few minutes of dramatic sU lence, the Marshal observed: What a beautiful place to drop ones mother-in-l- aw!" Reprisal measures which followed the wounding of Reinhard (The Hangman) Heydrich in Prague, by a Czech patriot, increased in swiftness and severity when the news of the death of this sadistic executioner became public. The shooting of hundreds of Czechs suspected by the Nazis of complicity in the plot to rid the world of Heydrich was reported. Ironically enough, the butcher of Moravia died in much the same manner as hundreds of unfortunate hostages he had ordered shot in France, Holland, Belgium, Norway, Poland and other countries during his hated career. n Heydrich earned the or soubriquet of "Der Henker hangman of the Nazi regime by reason of his ruthless application of repressive measures usually the firing squad or the gallows against those who dared challenge Hitlers rule.
