Chicago June 5 Bread lines form nationwide as the wheat shortage worsens. The Millers National Federation predicts relief in two to three weeks as new winter wheat from Texas and Oklahoma raises crop prospects. Executive secretary Herman Steen warns this is the worst week for millers with 80 to 90 percent of mills potentially shutting. A relief plan to divert foreign relief wheat may ease the shortage by mid to late July, though government red tape may delay delivery.
