Washington reports the cabinet Food Committee aims to reduce American wheat use by about 100 million bushels through voluntary conservation and possibly restoring wartime controls. With a crop year ending June 30, 1947, only roughly 470 million bushels may be exported, while total domestic use could reach 860 million bushels, up 170 million from last year as wheat substitutes for corn rise and longer-term controls are debated.
