of 10/5/47 and states that many others in the grain trade did also. States they were
never given the proper opportunity to analyze for him all the facts and circumstances
in connection with activities in a large grain exchange. States that he had written
a personal letter to the President on July 24th. As evidence of their cooperation, they
have quickly acceded to the Pres' request for increasing margins to 33-1/3 percent on
grain future transactions. Note: Released to newspapers before mailed.
