Bi-Partisan Accord on Farm Policy Nears WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. UP) Republican and Democratic congressional farm leaders ap peared near agreement today on major principles for a long-range policy for agriculture, including continued price props for some commodities. As the House Agriculture Com mittee resumed its hearings de signed to produce new farm legis lation, Chairman Hope said lead ers of both parties want: 1. Abundant production: 2. price supports; 3. an expanded soil con servation program; 4. crop insur ance, if a feasible program can be devised; and 5. expansion of rural electrification. President Truman, In his bud pet message to Congress yester day, recommended a long range program embracing these princi pies, and Hope said "there is no disagreement on his stating of the problem." In the Day's Mews By FRANK JENKINS 1 MBASSADOR (to Britain) A Lewis Douglas tells the senate foreign relations committee that the United States "may" reopver through loan repayments up to 2 34 billions of the 6 34 billions proposed for the first 15 months' operation of the European recov ery program (better known as the Marshall plan). e HOW? Well, if the Marshall plan works the countries of western Europe WILL HAVE SOME THING TO PAY THEIR DEBTS WITH. That In a nushell Is what we are trying to accomplish through the "plan" . BUT paste this in your hat: The bulk of repayment (if any) will come IN GOODS. That is to say, the western Europeans will swap what they have that we want for what we have that they want. That is healthy trade. rhave been isolationist in our trade ideas. We've wanted to sell always and buy never. That was all well enough when we were a little girl growing up.

Bennion, exten sion poultryman at Oregon State College, told a gathering of Doug las County poultrymen at the Knights of Pythias hall yesterday. The feed shortage, combined with the state's greater popula tion, has contributed toward the high cost of production for poul try and turkey producers gener ally. "The most significant thing in poultry," he pointed out, "is that the state has changed from a large exporting area to a large from 10 to 15 years. "This year, the Pacific Coast consumed 30 per cent more eggs than were produced and Oregon consumed 15 per cent mire eggs than were produced. There Is generally a good outlook for the poultry Industry here, and room for expansion," he said. Heed Federal Goals Bennion pointed out that with the state facing an "acute feed shortage," poultrymen should "keep In mind" the federal goals. "If feed Is available." he said, "an increase in production is desir able." He said that poultry prices are expected to rise above average J.XV TVi ' Iftftt Unabashed by the general's newest but second-hand disavowal of political desires, the Pennsyl vania Draft-Eisenhower League announced at Harrisburg that a slate ol delegates will be entered for the retiring Army chief of staff. Thus Pennsylvania, with 73 na tional convention votes, offers a possible second testing ground for those who think Dwight D. Eisenhower ought to be the Re publican nominee and Insist they intend to proceed along that line, come what may. The fact that Eisenhower passed up a chance yesterday to kill off a similar move in New Hampshire immediately subject ed the general to suspicion in both major political camps that, if he isn't already a candidate, he is not slamming the door on the possibility. Eisenhower Still Mum The chief of staff himself de clined comment But MaJ. Gen. Floyd L. Parks, head of the Army Public Information Divi sion, responded to reporters' prodding with this statement, is sued through regular military channels: "General Elsenhowere will make no statements with regard to the New Hampshire primary He has reiterated on many pre vious occasions that he wants nothing to do with politics. He has not changed his mind." A Democratic national commit tee official who didn't want to be identified by name said that as a result of the Parks state ment he thinks Eisenhower is (Continued on Page Six) Theft Loot Items Returned by Mail SEATTLE, Jan. 13.

TJersland and his wife were held prisoner in their apartment Saturday night by two of five gunmen while the others went to the smoke shop and looted the safe. Valuables listed at $7,500 also were taken from the apart ment. TJersland said that at most not more than $50,000 was stolen. egg ratio will be less favorable to producers. The cost of feed will be slightly higher.

Dr. E. M. Dickinson, veteri narian at the Oregon State Col lege Experiment Station, spoke on efforts of the State Depart ment of Agriculture to control Newcastle disease and other poul try ailments. "It Is hoped that the state's program will prevent the disease from becoming a serious econom ic problem among Oregon poul trymen," he said.

While Taber declined to specl fy Just what items most likely would be singled out for cuts, he noted that the President's esti mate of actual foreign aid out lay during the year and his re quests for funds to finance other projects not yet authorized by law run well over $5,000,000,000. Items 8lngled Out For example, he said, the Prti Ident wants half a billion dollars to finance universal military training legislation, which Con gress has not enacted and which some of its top leaders expect it to put aside for at least another year. Taber pointed out that while the Marshall plan for European recovery contemplates a $6,800, 000.000 appropriation for the first 15 months, the budget savs onlv $1,000,000,000 of that sum will be spent during the 12 months starting July 1.

Sports Fishing Rules Up To Game Board, Decision PORTLAND, Jan. 13. UP) A ruling of the state attorney-general has left sports salmon fish ing regulations in the hands of the State Game Commission, the Commission said yesterday. The Commission, which Issued tentative 1948 fishing regulations last Saturday, said Attorney-General Neuner ruled that a bill passed by the last Legislature did not give the State Fish Com mission authority to regulate sports salmon angling. The bill mentioned gave the Fish Commission authority to regulate salmon angling with the concurrence of the Game Com mission. Its title, however, only author ized the Fish Commission to re gulate late commercial fishing, and Neuner's opinion held that the Fish Commission could not regulate sports angling when that was not stated in the title. Sportsmen's groups, w h lc h wanted salmon angling to remain under the Game Commission, had fought the measure during the last legislature.

A report will be presented at a meeting to be held at Coqullle Jan. 22, at which time the legislative in terim committee studying state highway needs will entertain studies and recommendations from county courts, cities, ant) interested groups and persons. Agreement was reached at to day's conference on salient fea tures of the report, which will recommend raising standards of the Sutherlin-Elkton route, by way of Dodge Canyon, and Im provement of the Scottsburg Reedsport section of the Drain Reedsport highway to provide a water grade commercial road to tidewater. The Sutherlin-Elkton road al ready is on the state secondary highway route, and authorization has been given for Improvements totaling approximately $400,000. The report will ask that the State Higtway Department consider the roaa irom sutneriln to Keedsport as a whole, for developments as a commercial route, and that im provement be integrated with the purpose of providing a road capa ble of handling heavy truck traf fic. Reedsport Is asking immediate Improvement of the Reedsport Scottsburg section, where many danger spots exist. It is pointed out that the road, much of which Is carved from solid rock, is so narrow, and has so many over hanging points, that buses and freight trucks are forced out of their proper lanes of traffic. The sum of $150,000 has been author ized, it was reported, to eliminate some of the more critical hazards, but It is estimated another $100.- 000 will be required to complete me joo.

Witn approval Dy tne rtoseDurg ahambcr, is expected to urge im provement of the Reedsport-Elk-ton section of the Drain-Reeds-port highway on plans made In 1934. Estimated cost Is $1,250,000. The county court will urge inv mediate Improvement of the Sutherlin-Elkton section to primary standards. The highway depart ment will be asked to consider re location of the Bullock Bridge Elkton section by way of the Mehl canyon route, which, it is claimed, would make a water grade possible throughout the en tire distance, eliminating virtually all adverse grades. Traffio Heavily Upped The Reedsport delegation, which Included Alden Paull, presi dent of the Chamber of Com merce; John Skaaluren, W. A. Burdick. and Jack Diehl. report ed that traffic on the Drain- Reeds port road has increased nearly five times since the 1934 survey was made and that the bulk of this Increase is in truck and bus traffic. The great number of logging trucks, freight trucks, tankers and buses makes the road danger ous for travel, it was explained.
