The State Highway Commission rejected the proposed truck cutoff east of Council Bluffs for now citing many county needs and lack of available right of way. Melvin Graham said no funds would be spent to place the route in the primary system, delaying action until demands ease.

Food supplies forecast plentiful with strong demand
The Agriculture Department says late spring and early summer food supplies may be more plentiful than in 1953. Americans will likely eat more chicken eggs and dairy with high output and lower prices. Meat supplies may dip from last spring’s peak due to pig crop cuts, but hog marketings could boost hog output later. Spring vegetables and melons should exceed last year while strawberries and peaches in the South fall short. Some fishery products and lard will thin. prices for cereals fats oils but not butter stay above last spring. Potatoes sweet potatoes and some dairy and poultry products expected cheaper than a year ago. Pork prices may peak mid summer before dropping as hogs flood the market.
