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.

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.

of a nation's leader, behind their
smiling welcome they are not too
happy about the visit.
They expect Madame Chiang
not only to appeal to govern

to try to stir up greater popular
interest in tne ininese cause.

when Mr. Truman and Marshall

Some new program of care
fully limited help still seems
probable. But whether It will
be designed to furnish strong
support to the Chiang regime
still is uncertain. American au
thorities appear to have little
confidence In his ability to make
a comeback no matter what help
he gets.

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. Dairy Dro-
Queers aiso suiierea.
products has greatly increased as
result of the first and succeeding
agricultural conferences. 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.

to keep the parked cars moving to
give everyone a chance to park in
the main business district. The
city is taking in irom $800 to $900
monthly from parking meters.
He toucnea on tne proposed an
nexatlon of West Roseburg. com
ing up for a vote Dec. 10. 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. ,
