Peterson annoucnes his department is launching a new program to bring about better livestock sani tary control. This program, which has been the work of many months of studying legal codes, will be ac complished through more com plete enforcement of laws on livestock auction sales stables, livestock peddler markets, Bang's disease and tuberculosis. Under the program, sales stables must meet sanitation reg ulations before being licensed. All cattle moving through these es tablishments will have to be test ed for Bang's disease and tuber culosis. Peddler markets and individ uals selling cattle also must pro vide health certificates for each animal unless they are sold to licensed slaughterers. Peterson said the testing for Bang's disease and tuberculosis is progressing In a "reasonably satisfactory manner," but he In- RODEO EVE DANCE Tiny Sponsored Informal Anawer to Prvlon Pusile 19 Mexican shawl 37 Stringy 43 Area measure 45 Strikes 46 Uroccivpied 47 Away 20 Height 3Weai.ed 25 Declaim 28 Born 48 Young sheep 30 Interest (ab.) 49 Lock openers 33 Girdle 51 Poem 34 Rub S3 Flier 36 Mohammedan S3 Proposition prince 56 Morindin dye ' dlcated that the department would expand the testing pro gram. Cooperation Requested Commenting on the new live stock sanitation campaign, Dr. M. J. Beltori, assistant chief of the department's division of animal industry, said: "It is our intention to Inspect carefully all sales stables and peddler markets for compliance with the requirements of the li censing statute before issuing new licenses. There undoubtedly will be some operators who can not qualify from a sanitary stand point, and In those cases, licenses will not be issued. "An important part of this en tire program is that which re quires cattle sold to other than licensed slaughterers to be tested and covered by a health certifi cate before the sale is made. If the livestock industry of Oregon is to be kept free from disease and individual producers are to maintain healthy herds, their help and cooperation in demand ing health certificates on all ani mals purchased will be a useful adjunct to our program of pro tecting the health of livestock everywhere." Belton said that county veter inarians are expected to test all cattle each year, and that the I department soon would help them by reviewing their work. ' . ' ' : FRIDAY NIGHT ONLY JUNE 21 Featuring and His Wranglers AT THE. ... ROSEBURG ARMORY DANCING 9-1 by Jr. Chamber of Door Spud Scarcities May Occur Despite Record Production WASHINGTON, June 17. OP) There'll be more Irish 'taters In June and July than this coun try ever had before. By September, the tJ. S. De partment of Agriculture says, ap proximately 75,000.000 bushels of Irish potatoes will be going to markets all over the country. But you may not be able to buy any. Some localities will suf fer potato shortages from time to time, Washington experts sug gested, because of the possibility of the car shortages, ice scarcity and summer showers holding up the harvest. California accounts for about 30.000,000 bushels, which are shipped under refrigeration to prevent spoilage. But, potatoes from the south east are shinned without refrig eration except In emergencies and so must move to market fast to prevent loss. It will take 85,000 cars to ship potatoes this vear from the south and west, 27,000 cars In June alone, agriculture officials said. In July trucks will take over much of the potato load, when 'taters move out of North Caro lina and from northern produc ing states. Onlv the best potatoes will get to dining tables. The low grades, they said, will be fed to cattle. Surplus Property 'Disgrace' Rapped WASHINGTON, June 18 fff) Senator Wilev (D.-Wls.) today asserted that disnosal of surplus property by the War Assets Ad ministration "is a national dis grace." "It Is crying to high heaven for full exposure . . . and Imme diate correction," Wiley said in testimony before a Senate Small Business Committee, investigat ing surplus disuosal. "It Is my belief," Wiley said, "that a worse scandal than the Teapot Dome is involved in WAA's flagrant violation of the law with respect to priorities for veterans . . . and educational in stitutions." "These are no empty accusa tions or unfounded generalities," Wilev asserted, adding that he had been corresponding with Lt. Gen. E. B. Gregory, administra tor of WAA, concerning "WAA's wretched handling of the disposal of surplus electronics and com munication equipment." v "The substance," Wiley con tinued, "of my accusations against WAA can be summarized In one sentence. It Is this: "A commercial crowd has taken over WAA's electronics program and has ruthlessly op erated It In a manner harmful Commerce Prizes Independence Planned for India Spells End of Rule by Most of Parasitical Princes By DeWITT MaeKENZIB AP Foreign Affairs Analyst India's some 600 ruling princes comprising, at a guess, the vast majority of the world's supply of such bejeweled anachronisms are heading for a tremendous shake-up under the program for In dian Independence and it won't be surprising if five-sixths of them don't survive the ordeal. Pandit Nehru, president elect of the All-India Congress and next to Mahatma Gandhi the most powerful figure in the country, called during the weekend In no uncertain terms for democratization of the native states within the federal government which is projected. That Is, Nehru demands that the rule of the principalities be trans ferred from the autocratic princes to the people. This apparently doesn't pre. elude the retention of a prince as head of state If his people want him. However, he will be merely a nominal ruler Instead of having the power of life and death over his subjects, as .many of the petty sovereigns have. Moreover and this is the real catch hundreds of the princi palities are so small that they are hardly worthy of the designa tion, and these may be amalga mated into provinces which will pension off the princes and thus end their rule. Top Bigwig Friend of Poor It's an Interesting commentary of the change which has come over India, that Nehru should challenge the princes. He him self Is a Brahminan aristocrat of aristocrats among the Hindus. Yet this blueblood, who wps edu cated at Harrow and Cambridge University in England, is battling for the rights of the common folk of his country. Of course one can name ma haralahs who have been real benefactors to their people. I've been the guest of some of them In their palaces and have ob served their fine work. For the most part, however, the princes through the centuries have lived to the best Interests of our country." Gregory, who prceeded Wiley as a witness, had acknowledged that he was "not altogether satis fied" with certain phases of the disposal program and said that "necessary corrective steps" are being taken to sneert tin sales. s Spred 60 See an expert demonstrate this amazing new oil paint that mixes with water available in gloss or flat I ' t, I L . t-i-- lustrouft 1 s!?".r.'...;. on ."-. ,V ,000 u.,":t.

Squandering Rampant Scores of these potentates have squandered vast fortunes on heaos of lewels and other follies while their subjects literally went hungry.

In deed, if you haven't seen it al ready you mc.y miss out alto gether, lor the princes as we nave known them are a fast fading institution, The paramount prince of India and one who presumably will continue as a constitutional ruler is His Exalted Highness the Nizam of Hyderbad. He is abso lute ruler over a state about the size of Kansas and having a ponu lation of more than 16,000,000. Thev sav this sixty-year-old autocrat is the richest man in the world, and it's easy to believe this may be true, although he himself probably has no Idea of the ex tent 01 his possessions, it mis been estimated that he had $1. 500,000,000 in jewels alone, and that's easy to believe If you've seen some of the collections of gems possessed by the princes.
