...high cost of keeping agricultural prices from going through the roof (which set taxpayers back a cool $700 to $800 million for subsidy payments to farmers last year) may be much higher in 1945. This fact came out last week when War Food Administrator Marvin Jones bravely marched up Capitol Hill to ask the Senate Banking and Currency Committee to: 1) extend the life of the Commodity Credit Corp., which expires June 30, for two more years; 2) expand CCC's borrowing power from $3 billion to $5 billion...
...Marvin Ross is a small, grey-haired G-5 captain, who used to be associate curator of medieval art at Baltimore's Walters Gallery. His job is to locate, check and guard artistic treasures.

Squeezing the whole life of the Sicilian town into Joppolo's office also carries penalties: some things...
Guard Eddle Davis led the line which played well all season; Marvin Jenkins copped the Crimson scoring honors, although he played in but the first two games. The shifty halfback tallied 25 points, beating out Bob Cowen by one. Wally Trumbull put in a good quarter-backing job, carrying the main burden of the punting and blocking...
