Grain protection from abroad urged by farm board chief
Washington November 20 chairman Alexander Legge of the federal farm board urged a 12 percent cent per bushel tariff rise on corn under flexible provisions, with authority to raise the duty by 50 percent. He said the 25 cent rate should hit 87 1/2 cents to cover the gap with Buenos Aires prices. Legge also favored tariff revisions on other coarse grains and noted Russia has exported 50 million bushels of wheat this year, adding uncertainty about remaining stocks. He said the farm board has not set limits on wheat purchases or prices in its current program and emphasized Russia as a key factor in the world market.

Gorilla in Undergrowth Near Council Bluffs Trapped?
Skeptics ridiculed the idea of a gorilla in southwestern Iowa as trapper G C Rain prepared near Council Bluffs. Government trader Rain chased clues after reports of howling and tracks while skeptics doubted a true gorilla could exist in Iowa. Iowa City naturalist Homer R Dill doubted any gorilla could survive wild in this region, noting authentic gorilla records are rare and circus sightings often prove chimpanzees or orangs.
