TWO NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER I. 1948 Government Asks Bigger Production of Food (Continued from Pago One) called lor a 17 per cent boost In the 1949 spring pig crop to in sure more pork chops tor next fall ana winter. Goad Economio Omen Since consumption of farm products tends to rise and fall with business and employment conditions, the call for Increases was taken as a favorable straw in the economic wind. From this year's record farm production, the department said, Americans have had 14 per cent more to eat than in pre-war years, while breaking all marks in the amount of food sent overseas. During the crop vear ended last July 1, this country exported 19,347,000 long tons of food, most ly grain, topping the previous year's record by 187,000 tons. But because of the huge wheat and potato production, the depart ment has asked farmers to cut down next year's planting to pre vent market-glutting surpluses. OPi Offered Jobs To get help for the tasks ahead, "thousands" of farmers, mean while, were reported offering homes and Jobs to displaced Euro peans being brought to this coun try. Edward M. O'Connor, a member of the displaced persons commis sion, told newsmen yesterday his office Is being "flooded" by re questsmostly from farmers in the central and north central states. Bv next Mav. he said, some 10.- 000 homeless Europeans will be brought to this country every month. Under the bill Congress passed last summer i!05,000 se. lected from the displaced lists will be admitted within the next two years. .w.M iiininii inn i-m-.m ,tmmwmmm nim"i' i ii iV i ' 'l - f gill, 1 .ill ,;?

Moser Names White As Pal in Slaying (Continued from Pago One) truck him two or three times" more after that. During Moser'j testimony, White busily made notes on a yellow legal tablet, but otherwise he displayed no apparent reac tion from Moser's statements. White appeared in a white shirt and suspenders and large colored glasses, which he removed at In tervals. Moser admitted an acquaint ance with White since 1932, that they had played cards together and that he had worked with White on a construction Job In 1H4H. After the empanncllng of a jury about 2 o'clock, the members were taken to the scene of the crime at the alley on Spring street to reconstruct the circum stances relating to the trial. After they, returned, Moser took the stand. Speolflo In Testimony A silence fell over the court room as Moser took the witness chair. Assistant Attorney Gen eral Fred A. Miller, serving as special prosecutor and assistant to District Attorney H. A. Cana day ,aked him: 'Where are you staying now, Mr. Moser?" "Salem, Ore." "What place in Salem?" ' "The penitentiary." "How long are you going to be there?" "I'm going to be there the rest of my life," Moser stated. In his opening statement to the Jury and In his questioning of Moser, Miller attempted to show the relationship between the witness and White. Moser, asked to identify White, pointed at the latter. "He Is the one In the white shirt, tie, suspenders, and colored glasses." He Indicated White as he sat with his attorneys at the end of the long table In front of the Judge. Defense Quotes Sermon The opening statement for the defense was given by Robert C. Davis. "I don't have the exper ience, adroitness, and smoothness of the professional prosecutor," he told the Jury. He quoted from the Sermon on the Mount "Judge not that ye be not Judged. For with what Judgment ye Judge, ye shall he Judged; and with what measure ye mete, It shall be measured to you." (Matt. 7-1). He reminded the Jury of the seriousness of "passing Judgment whether another man shall live or die." Consider the "serious ness of the matter we are here to Investigate ... in passing upon the life of a fellow human being." Moser told in testimony of having had an "argument" at home Sunday morning, preced ing the crime (Aug. 8). He then went to the house on Mill St., where Francis Stanley White was staying with his father "Mr. White, who cared for the aged Moffitt. Moser said he and White and a Kelly Hayes made a trip to Eureka, Calif., by automobile that week looking for emnlovment. They returned to Roseburg the night or Aug. ri. They slept in a car on a used car lot at the corner of Oak and Rose Sis. They visited several taverns that aay ana tne night of Aug. 13. Moser designated on a large map, marked Exhibit A, the lo cations of all of the taverns. The map was mounted on an easel and had been prepared by the county surveyor. Neither de fense counsel objected to admis sion of the map as evidence.

They expect Madame Chiang not only to appeal to govern ment officials for aid, but also to try to stir up greater popular interest in tne ininese cause.

Grasses Would Boost Douglas Livestock Crop (Continued from Page One) deal of research in the field. As an indication of the devel opment of grasses and pastures In the western part of the state, Beck pointed out that Douglas County is now the leading sheep raising county in the state. Last year, for the first time, the Ore gon Wool Growers Association held their first meeting in West ern Oregon, at Portland, and it should not be long before the as sociation comes here for a meet ing, he predicted. Beck recalled that Douglas County prune growers had suf- lered In the poor agricultural market 25 years ago.

Other parts of the state also increased the quality and value of their ag ricultural yield. He pointed out that the Industry now has reached the point of vertical ex pansion, as contrasted with hori zontal expansion, and must In tensify the growing of crops. As an example, he told of the increased yield of wheat in East ern Oregon obtained through ap plication of 2, 4-D, a chemical which eliminates the competition of such weeds as mustard and tarweed. Farmers elsewhere must make similar applications, he said. As a new service to farmers, Beck said that the extension serv ice would soon be helping them to get "dollar advantage" out of farm timber stands as with crops. He pointed out that farmers are "directly interested" in timber, as they own from three to six million acres within their farm confines. Farmers In Douglas County own 354,000 acres classi fied as timberland and timber- land-pasture, he said. Roseburg's Building Code Declared Passe (Continued from P ge One) to keep the parked cars moving to give everyone a chance to park in the main business district.

He era- hasized that while the area is city, he wanted It clearly under ilghly desired as an asset to the stood the city is not out to "pull in" the area against ih will of the people living in the fringe dis tricts, but he wanted to point out the advantages to them if an nexed to the city. The city would benefit less from direct taxation than from revenue in lieu of taxes7 automobile licenses refund, to the city and liquor taxes, as well as from an increase in the city's as sessed valuation. , 1 BUD MASON Still' WANTS TO RENT A HOUSE Coll 857-Y Photo Lab X ft Suit Yourself at. -Joe Richards THE RUSH?
