Wheat crop outlook and rail logistics in 1946 season
The 1946 season is forecast with slightly more cars than last year and a crop about 17 percent higher than 1946, and 80 percent above the ten year average. Burlington notes grain hold-overs, better elevator labor, and new car dumpers to speed unloading. Missouri Pacific aims to move the crop but cites early plans as uncertain. Officials estimate May 1 crop at 1,026,789,000 bushels with private reports improving. Strong demand and high prices may push farmers to ship promptly.

Communist leaders, notably Politburo member Andrey, lead farm morale drives on state and collective farms, with tractor upkeep emphasized.

Greeks Accuse Balkan Liaison Officers of Interference
Greek government charged that Albanian Yugoslav and Bulgarian liaison officers with the United Nations Balkan inquiry commission interfered to aid forceful action to push Greece toward the Communist bloc. Ambassador Dendramis accused these officers of abusing their status as the council debated moving the border watch from Salonika to Athens and curtailing powers of investigators. The U.S. and Britain said they would oppose the Soviet plan while Greece contended bands cross from the Balkans into Greek territory and shelter among neighboring countries.
