Tighter Law To
Wipe Out Cattle
Rustlers Wanted
PENDLETON, Ore., May 1.
CP) Oregon's brand law was
termed "Inadequate" Tuesday by
the State Farm Bureau Federa
tion's House of Delecates. The
group asked that it be revised to
affect "closer supervision of live
stock movements and better
judgment on the part of offi
cers." It also urged thnt the law be
made to cover the entire state in
stead of just designated areas.
The resolution declared that
more complete records of trans
actions in dressed meat and live
animals should be made avail
able. Members reported that "rub-

ber-tired rustlers" had been ac
tive in many areas of the state
recently and declared that the
law must be made "tighter" to
meet this threat.
The 58 delegates from through
out the state also moved to se
cure a "master" contract with
canneries for farmers. A commit
tee was instructed to survey prcs-
eni contracts ana recommend a
new one to cover all growers.
Under a "master contract"
plan, now operating in some
slates, pea, bean and other veget
able growers would negotiate as
a group Instead of as individuals
with eanners.
A spokesman for the delegates
said a better price would be ob
tained under this plan.

Congress 'Drifts'
To Await Expected
Republican Rule
Bv PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON - (NEA)
If recent developments in Con
gress give any clues, politicians
are counung neavuy on an en
tirely different kind of adminis
tration in Washington for the
next four years. This new trend
in government is really the old,
old trend. It comes from the ultra-conservative
ReDUhlican ma.
Jority. But it gets plenty of sup
port from the ultra-conservative
Democrats.
In general, the drift Is to let
things drift. Don't do anything
tnis year mat can be put off un
til next. For alter inauguration
day, there mav be a new Presi
dent. The cocky Republican old
guard thinks he will be a safe
member of Ihe COP. And right
wing Democrats from the south
say now that it isn't going to be
Harry Truman. So things like
these are noticeable:
There's a move on to extend
appointments .of the five-man
Atomic Energy Commission un
der David Lilienthal for one or
at the most two years. The law
calls for instituting a five-year
stagger system in, the appoint
ments. By approving short-term
appointments, the Republicans
hope to replace Lilienthal and
maybe some others with men of
their own choosing.
TVA Under Attack
Instead of trying to write a
new long-range farm program, as
the Republicans promised in 191G
and '47, the House agriculture
committee under Cliff Hope of
Kansas nas aitcneu tne idea. It
merely wants to extend the pres
ent law for another vear.
Instead of coming to grips with
the Reciprocal Trade Agreements
Act renewal, the majority in Con
gress apparently wants to pro
crastinate. The act expires June
12. President Truman has asked
for the usual three-year exten
sion, previously granted four
times.
Tennessee Valley Authority
perhaps the greatest single ac
complishment of the Roosevelt
years is under attack in both
nouses of Congress. In the lower
House, appropriations to build a
new sleam-electrlc generating
Elant near Memphis are opposed
y the private power lobby and
may be denied. In the Senate, Ne
vada's (ii-orge Malone has taken
up the fight long led by Tennes
see's McKellar to restrict TVA
oeratlons. Fear of a presidential
veto is probably all that delays
these crippling amendments.
Though President Truman has
reeatedly urged the need for
standby anti-Inflationary controls,
the Republican leadership has
shown no Interest. Chairman Rob
ert A. Tnft of the joint congres
sional committee on economic re
ports nas ueen too busy- cam
paigning in Ohio to consider the
draft of a report drawn up by his
staff on these important matters.
If there Is any congressional in
terest in these things, it, too, is
being put away until next year.
People Favor Liberals
The Senate has passed Senator
Taft's long-range housing bill
and a bill providing federal aids
to education. Hut the still more
conservative leadership in the
Mouse is stalling on ootn meas
ures.
Extension of social security
coverage ana increase in mini
mum wage rates are off to a late
start and may get nowhere.
Tax reduction was passed over
the President s veto. Hut long-
needed general reform of the en
tire tax system has been post
poned until next year, when Re
publicans hope they can tailor to
tneir own lit.
What ail these things add up
to is an indication mat tne Dre
vailing sentiment in Congress is
'way over to the right on domes
tic issues. But it Is open to ques
tion wneiner tnis is me prevail
ing setnlment of the voters.
Practically all recent public
opinion polls have shown that
the combined vote for what might
ne canea tne more liberal candi
dates Truman, Stassen and Wal
lace is greater than the combin
ed vote for the conservatives
Tart, Dewey, Martin and MacAr
thur. This would indicate that the
prevailing senitment of the coun
try is still progressive and left
wing, rather than reactionary
unu j jkui.
Tabernacle Organ
Being Remodeled
SALT LAKE CITY (P) One
of the world's most famous mu
sical Instruments, the Mormon
tabernacle orpran, is being re
built. The 81-year-old organ,
which has been heard bv thou
sands of visitors to Temple
Square and millions of radio
listeners in the past quarter-cen-
iiiry, win nave seven new sec
tions of pipes installed before the
next general conference of the
Latter -Day Saints (Mormon)
Church in October. The total
number of pipes will be 10.000.
instead of the present 7.000.
Thorpe B. Isaacson, directing
the remodeling, savs that the
exterior appearance of the mas
sive organ will not be altered.
Original pipes forming the im
posing front of the organ will be
retained, borne ot tne wooden in
terior pipes built In pioneer days
also will be continued in use.
The organ was built on order
ot fingnam Younp, pioneer presi-
oi ine cnurcn. nv Josenn h.
Ridges, an English convert, who
nad lived for some years In Aus
tralia and, according to legend,
built the first organ in that
country.

Rifle, Smoke, Car Used To

The mother pot away and the
nine coyotes hid in a 10-lnch cul

even when officers filled the cul
vert with smoke.
Finally a 10-Inch "plug" was
rigged up. Officers hooked it onto
a car and dragged it through the
culvert. The two pups came out
with it and were shot as they
ran for cover.
