Grass hopper infestations are reported In three Baker County areas with Durkee, Keating and Pondoaa hay crops threatened. Spraying operations have be gun under the direction ol County Agent Leroy C. Wright, who de clined to release what he calls "alarmist" reports about the pos sible extent of the damage If the insects are not headed off. The next 10 days will tell' the story, he said. Hay is the principal crop threatened In all the areas with peach and apricot orchards at Durkee also in danger. A path two miles long and a half mile wide is being deluged with grasshoppers at Durkee with Infestations at scattered points in the other areas. Chlorodane spraying Is being done by airplane at Durkee and farmers hope that rain will not fall before they cut their first crop of hay, Wright said, because that would necessitate spraying the entire area again. Wright said that a grasshopper expert from the U. S. Bureau of Ento mology at Denver is en route to Baker today. lis with l rw ii ' ii e NEW WESTERN TONES FOR WESTERN HOMES Quick and tiiy.

They are: Detroit, 1,156 per sons; Chicago, 155; Cincinnati County, more than 300; Los An geles, 488; Cleveland, 141; Mil waukee County, 201. The totals are as of April or May; they may nave risen. Some new problems are loom ing, and some old ones are re turning to plague states and cities which have been free from them during the seven flush years of war and reconversion. For instance: Relief Cost. Soaring 1. Relief costs per relief fam ily have soared. Ohio says it cosls 24 times as much to keep a family going as It did in 1942 2. Rents must be paid. Now adays, landlords evict non-paying tenants. In the depression, many people who couldn't pay stayed on anyway hecause the landlord couldn't find other tenants. Now the state or city must cither pay the rent or rehouse homeless families. 3. Longer relief rolls are em barrassing city treasuries. Al ready squeezed between frozen tax revenues and higher costs for every city service, cities find the new relief burden rakes "ser ious financial problems," says the Municipal Association. In 16 slates cities shoulder their whole relief load; in the rest, state and city share. 4. Some western slates report migrants on the march again. Nothing like the "Grapes of Wrath era but incoming transi ents are causing concern in Colo rado and Wyoming, for Instance, and even in Oklahoma whence came the "Okies" of dustbowl and depression days. 5.

"I'm satisfied the Committee won't go bevond my suggestion" he said. This is to give ECA $188,000,000 more than the House gave it but require the program to be spread over 12 months. A Republican member said privately he believes the Com mittee will give Hoffman the same figure voted by the House and require him to spend the monev in 12 months. Hoffman laid before the Com mittee yesterday a report show ing that a $1,000,000,000 cut in ECA funds would wipe out these purchases of American products: wheat, $30,000,000; corn, $75,000, 000; tobacco, $50,000,000; cotton, $100,000,000; fuels. $100,000,000; metals and ores, $85,000,000; and machinery, $125,000,000. There were others in the list but this gave Senators an idea of the impact of a cut on the American purchases for foreign aid. Premature Quadruplets Quick Death Victims LONG BRANCH, N. J., June 17.)

A resolution proposing a "fair and impartial" sales tax went down to overwhelming defeat at the Grange's annual convention here yesterday. The proposal was brought to the floor by a majority of the tax committee. It also was known several Granges had gone over to support of a sales tax in the last year, but the great majority of delegates swarmed the resolution under. There was a long debate first, with proponents asserting it would reduce property taxes, while opponents said it only would shift the tax burden to the poor. nltnl urhorn thn nnarirlinleti: Wpra born! said Mrs. Caffrey had been five montns pregnant, one was listed in "good" condition after the births.
