Chaos Overseas Rapped
the Congressional Record, "that
the only lesson they will learn Is
the horrible example of how a
budget can remain unbalanced in
a period of this nation's highest
income level."
Norblad said the ECA reason
for bringing the experts here was
that inadequate controls over
government expenditures and in
effective and inadequate systems
of taxation in cooperating Euro
pean countries create unbalanced
budgets, thereby contributing to
inflation and posponing recovery.
The Oregonian asserted that
the United States has balanced
its budget only once in the last
17 years.
"Yet we spend an additional
half million to bring Europeans
here to study our methods and at
the same time go into the red
another $800,000 by sending our
experts to Europe to teach them
budget balancing and efficient
government operation," he said.
"We are certainly going into
the red to the tune of about two
billion dollars in the United
States again this year."

Suction Filbert
Picker Reaches
Approved Stage
After six years devoted to tret-
ting the "bugs" out of a suction
type filbert harvester, the O. S.
C. experiment station has issued
a bulletin giving what has proved
10 oe a successiui design ot a in
bert harvesting machine.
In its approved form, the new
harvester includes a powerful
suction fan and a powerunit to
drive it, a rotating bar grid sep
arator and air-lock unit, a suction
nozzle system, a dirt cleaning
unit and a sacking device.
An example of the continued
study and improvement the ma
chine has undergone is the evolu

iicumes were overcome ny mak
ing a straight lift of some dis
tance before putting a turn in
the pipe, and by raising the front
lip a half Inch above the rear
one to compensate for blocked
