Vacuum Cleaner Use In
'Hopper War Frowned On
SALEM, July 22 WStopping
southern Oregon's grasshopper
invasion by using the vacuum
cleaner principle has no appeal
for Governor Douglas McKay. He
thinks it might not work, and It
would cost too much.
The governor said F. W. Rodolf,
of the U. S. army engineers in
Portland, suggested the hoppers
could be sucked up by vacuum
pumps attached to jeeps or
trucks. Then the Insects would
be ground up and sold ot the
game commission for fish food.
The governor said he checked
with the bug experts at Oregon
State college, and that they didn't
think too much of the idea, either.

Further Flour
Shipments To
Japan Opposed
WASHINGTON, July 22.-WB
Additional shipments of flour to
Japan "can not be justified at
this time," Senator Cain (It
Wash) has been told.
Cain had suggested to John P.
Loomis, food administrator for
occupied areas, that wheat be
milled in the Northwest and the
flour, Instead of wheat, sent to
Japan. He said it would aid mills
in the Pacific northwest.
Loomis replied, in a letter
made public today by Cain, that
flour shipments have" been reduc
ed because wheat can be pur
chased at a lower cost and proc
essed in Japan without expendi
ture of dollars and with a taving
of the valuable residue of the
milling process. 1
"In view of this fact," Loomis
wrote, additional purchase of
flour can hardly be justified If
we are to carry out our responsi
bility of reducing occupation
costs to a minimum."
Loomis said It has been nec
essary for the army to supply
approximately 35 per cent of Ja
pan's minimum food needs for
its 80 million people and 50 per
cent of the requirements of the
German people.
"It is only by purchasing inso
far as possible unprocessed ba
sic commodities such as wheat
that w;: can obtain the maximum
number of calories at a mini
mum cost," he said.
"Flour purchases were neces
sary for a time because the food
stockpile in Japan was so low.
that there was no time for milling
imported grain and flour could
be consumed Immediately. This
is no longer true, and flour ship
ments cannot be justified at this
time."
