Argument, Sentiment, -Comment
By HARRIS ELLSWORTH
Congressman, hourrn Oregon District
$74,000,000 For Propaganda '
In previous letters, I have men
tioned the adminstration . propa
ganda machine which has been
pretty successful in smearing all
members of Congress who vote
contrary to New Deal wishes.
They attempt to make us- appear
, to be "enemies 'ot the people."
You might be interested to
know that money you pay in fed
eral taxes finances this propa
ganda program. F. J. Lawton,
Bureau of the Budget executive,
told the Appropriations Commit
tee of the House reectnly:
"Employment in education in
formational, promotional and pub
' licity activities of the executive
branch of the Federal government
for the fiscal year 1946 is esti
mated as follows: Full-time em
ployees, 23,009; employees devot
ing more than 1 week but less
than their full year to these ac
tivities, 22,769; total estimated ex
penditures for personal service
JSAA other obligations, $74,829,467."
With 45,000 people on the public
payroll pouring out words sup
porting the present type of gov
ernment and blasting those who
oppose it, can you blame me for
objecting to spending public funds
for sucn a propaganda macnine :
Willamette Project Funds
Possibly due to the fact that
aDDroonanons for the Willamette
Valley project were included in
two different mils passea aurmg
this session of Congress, there is
some misunderstanding as to just
how much money has been allo
cated to Willamette flood control
this year.
More than $3,250,000 was appro
priated for the Willamette pro
tect in the first deficiency appro-
- priation bill. The regular bill as
finally approved by both Houses
of Congress appropriated addi
tional amounts making the grand
total to be expended on the Wil
lamette project this year $8,721,
700. The detailed amounts are as fol
Dorena Dam, $3,018,200; Detroit
Dam. $3,700,000: Meridian Dam
(Lookout PL), $1,000,000; bank
nrotection. $512,000; miscellane
ous, including plans and surveys
on Sweet Home, Quartz Creek
Dams, $491,500. Total $8,721,700.
Critical Feed Shortage
Feeds for livestock and poultry
will become increasingly scarce
in Oreeon during the next several
weeks. No real relief is probable
until the 1946- harvest is under
ay, starting in Texas early in i
Inventory of wheat supplies in
the Northwest, just completed by
the Department of Agriculture, in
dicates, that there will be suf
ficient grain to cover government
purchases and meet demands for
feed only after some curtailment
in flocks and herds. Mill feeds will
be a little more plentiful because
millers in the Northwest are op
erating at capacity. Protein sup
plies lor May win stand at ciose to
80 per cent of the May 1945
quantities. , -
AH wheat being purchased by
the government under the bonus
program is being snipped, teed
mixers and farmers are getting no
wheat because they cannot legally
pay the price offered by the gov
ernment This program continues
until May 25th, when the bonus
will be dropped. Though the gov
ernment will continue to purchase
for foreign commitments, the gov
ernment price will be the same as
that which anyone else may oiler.
The recently announced price
increases on grains are -designed
to bring grain onto the market,
but will make it less profitable for
producers to use grains for feeding.

DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS
Timely Tiff
"He that dwelleth in the se
cret place of the Most High
shall abide under the shadow of
the Almighty." This inspired
statement is the highest peak
in the mountain range of thrill
ing promise recorded in "Holy;
Writ." It gives the assurance of
the Christian's constant fellow-:
ship with God and-of His un
limited protection and over-';
sight. What an lnestlmnb!e
Erivilege and' honor it is to
ave the Eternal and Almighty
God as our refuge and fortress
at all times, as we journey
through life in this trouble
world. To be so intimately
united to our Heaveny Father
that we can confidently say:
"He is my God; in Him will I
trust." mat trust will bring
the fulfillment of every prom
ise found in the Word of God.
It makes us more than con
querors. Why should we be dis
turbed with doubts and fears?
God is fully able to keep everv
-promise He has made. "With
long life will I satisfy him. and
show Him my salvation." "God
never fails." How many times
we have been heart-broken at
the unfaithfulness of a friend
and what an inspiration it is to
know there is one who never
fails.
"The soul that on Jesus still
leans for repose,
I will not, I will not desert to
his foes;'
That soul though all hell should
endeavor to shake,
I'll never, no, never, no, never
forsuke."
Amen.
