WASHINGTON. Nor. 23. Colo i nel William Mitchell took the wit ness stand today before the court martial trying him for breach of discipline as a result of his public criticism of the admlnistraton of tlie army and navy ar services. For the third time within a few months, the air crusader repeated under oath bis reasons for assailing those in charge of governmental aviation and for bis advocacy of a larger and better trained and equipped air force. Much of bis testimony hinged up on the same points-he had stressed last spring before the house air craft committee and later ' before the president's special air board. When he took the stand in his wn behalf he was informed of his rights by the law member of the court. Colonel Blanton WJnshlp, and replied that he would subject himself to full direct and cross ex amination by the defense and pros ecution counsel, "the same as any other witness." Colonel Mitchell began his testi mony with a long and detailed ac count of his army career. Including the service In the air in France for which he was awarded many dec orations. From that point the witness was led under questions by his counsel, Representative Frank Reld of Illi nois to an expression of his opin ion on various phases of aircraft development. The colonel testified that at the end of the World war aviation was just beginning to come MITCHELL M P a m aw 'Vti iiiiii nil I'lsii.

' - J. $250,000 Heart Balm Is Sought by Hollywood Girl, Supplanted by Armenian (AanrUtrd Pma Invil Wire.) NEW YORK, Nor. 23. Today's American says that William An drews Clark, third grandson of the late Montana senator, has been sued for (250,000 by Marguerite McNulty,' a dancer, who avers be broke a promise to marry her. The defendant is in London and the complaint, with court approval was left with the management of the hotel here, where Clark has an apartment. The complaint charges that In 1923, less than three months after they met in a Broadway cabaret, Clark took the plaintiff to his fath er's home in Butte, Mont, and in troduced her as his fiancee and that announcement of the engage ment was made. When they met she was dancing at a cabaret and he was just out of college. Many detectives are reported to have been engaged by Clark to Investi gate the girl's career. McNab is quoted as saying that Miss McNulty and Katya Minaa- sian are distinct Individuals and the plaintiff Is Miss McNulty. An order for service of the com plaint by substitution was issued by Supreme Court Justice Ford of New York upon recommendation that Clark had evaded personal service since a definite refusal Oc tober 3 last to marry the plaintiff. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 23. The Examiner today styles Marguerite McNulty as a Hollywood actress and a former Oakland girl in refer ring to the 3250.000 breach of promise suit brought against Wil liam Andrews Clark, III, by the actress. A copy of the complaint was re ceived here by Gavin McNabb who says Miss McNulty charges that Clark met her in Los Angeles less than a year ago and after a rapid courtship proposed marriage and was accepted. I-ater the girl charges. Clark refused to marry her and she made a special trip to New York to remind him of his promise. The Examiner says Clark recent ly announced his . engagement to "Miss ("atherlna Minassian, former Broadway stage favorite, who ap peared in a series of successes. Announcement of the engagement waa by his father, W. A. Clark, II, shortly before his son left on the foreign trip." SACRAMENTAL WINE PERMITS REDUCED TO CHECK ABUSES (AwwUt-d Vrtm !xd Wir. ) WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. An other relic of pre prohibition days has been marked for a swift end by prohibition officials. Some several hundred thousand wine making .permits which have enjoyed a quiet and nutrammeled perpetuation of life since the years before the Volstead Act have come under the searchlight of the new prohibition regime and will be re voked under a regulation to be promulgated, probably within the next day or two. The permits as Is sued allow a maximum annual pro duction by the holder, Ui free, of two hundred gallons. They are held largely In the foreign quar ters of the larger clt's and ore suspected of contributing heavily to Ike Illicit supply. I Leaks of sacramental wine into Illicit channels also are to be plugged up. Assistant Secretary Andrews, the treasury'? prohibi tion field marshal, has reached an asreement with Jewish leaders. whose churches are the largest users of sacramental wine, for new regulations, expected to be Issued this week, sharply reducing the amount of wine now permitted to be withdrawn for religious purposes. CDUfJTY SHOULD PRODUCE IRE SHEEP, GOUTS Should Improve Beef Cattle in Quality and Not In- crease Numbers TO FEATURE LAMBS Quality of Umpqua Lambs Should Make Them a Premium, According to Report ' That more sheep and goats isnouid De ratsea in uougias coun ty; but that the beef and cattle lines of livestock should not be in creased except In cases where con ditions are ideal, are the recom mendations made by tbe livestock group at tbe Agricultural Econom ic conference.' The high cost of beef production, together with mar ket conditions, discourage further I expansion, the committee says. Hogs should be raised only In suf ficient quantity to use up waste 1 freight rates make It impracticable I to bring In feed. Sheep offer the greatest oppor tunity, and the committee encour ages, particularly, the raising of lambs and urges that steps be tak en to make "Umpqua Lambs" a feature on hotel menus.' Goats are also advUed as a live stock venture, while the committee urges the raising of more horses. The committee's report in full Is as follows: The beer cattle situation In tbe United States during the last few years has experienced a difficult period.' This condition appears at this time to be somewhat relieved. There has been a reduction In the number of beef cattle in Oregon during the last five years amount ing to 18 .per cent. This reduc tion will apparently carry through the .?Uen Western states. On the other hand the same per capita consumption of beef bas been main tained. This reduction In num- jbers rhould eventually assist the Ipioduier to get a little better rices '.for his cattle. The present com petition which comes from th! mi at furnished through wdrn ot dairy cows is a heaiy blow to the beef lnierert. Thre is need at thin tlino to cstiibllsh the si.lt- of beef on i qality basis. Production costs are high The average calf crop on Lastern Oregon runges Is Ui per cent anl the physical to.isci run ds hlgit n 10 per cent' Sib-op production Is impor'an: to the agriculture of Douglai Ounly. The srorM conditions are fav .-tbl' at this time for a continued pro- 'ductfon on the prevent plane. This lis borne out by the fact that ex pansion In a large way In the world ,1s out of the question, because of the fact that all of the cheap range I lands have been taken up. The i influence of high prices during the ilast few yeara has resulted In kn j Increase in numbers of farm sheep. I There haa also been a tendncy, 'for beef cattle growers to change jto sheep production in the range area. This may result in an In i creased number of sheep and event iually lower prices. However, over la period of yean the Industry 'stands on a firm basis because of I the fact that the I'nlted Slates Is la heavy Importer of wool. " The high price of fine wool since the war has resulted In a somewhat less demand, with this has come a strengthening of the market for coarser wools, j Cost of production figures gath lered in Western Oregon show that he average ewe will pay the farm icr 15.00 a year for the feed she consumes. Out of this must com i the taxes and Interest on the land j needed to produce the feed. The hog sltatlon in the state shows a shortage. That Is Oregon ' produces about half of the pork that Is conjumed wtlhln the state. This Is due to the fact that not enough feed grains are produced within the state to finish hogs. Consequently they must be produced In smaller numbers on waste reeds such as skim milk, grain atbble. etc. The rrelght on enough grain from the middle west to produce 100 pounds of pork Is about dou ble the freight on 1O0 pounds of live hog. Production costs show that In order to make a profit In hog production on grain alone the Vrice of 100 pounds oT hog live weight must be the same as the cost of CIS pounds of grain. With these racta In. mind the livestock I group has gone Into the study or i the beef cattle, sheep and hog problems In Douglas County. Beef Cattle.
