Wheat Subsidy Rates Set By
United States Government .
Under 44-Nation Agreement
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. (JP The government la offering a
subsidy ranging from 23 to 34 cents a bushel today on wheat bought
tor export under the International wheat agreement which went
Into effect Monday.
Drafted early this year by 44 wheat exporting and Importing
nations, and by maintaining a schedule, of maximum and minimum
prices In the world markets. ,
The United States share of a
454,000,000-bushel annual alloted
world market la 168,000,000
bushels.
The aubtldy la made necessary
by the fact that the maximum
price aet by the pact la below
current domestic prices of the
grain. .
The .maximum nrice Is $1.80 a
bushel for No. X northern wheat
at Fort Williams and Port Arthur,
Canada. The equivalent maxi
mum price at any other particular
point reflects the difference In
transportation rate between that
point and Fort Williams, on the
one hand, to major consuming
areaa on the other.
In other words, the maximum
price for wheat wtilch is closer
to Europe a mator consuming as Fort Williams. Naturally. Pa
area than Fort Williams would 'ciflc Northwestern porta are far
be higher than the $1.80 Fort WU ther away from major Importing
Renovation, Not Replacement, Is
Decision On White House Work
WASHINGTON. Aug. 3 UP)
The White House la going to be
renovated Instead of replaced.
Senator McKellar (D-Tenn),
chairman of an official commis
sion on the project, made the an
nouncement following a aession
in the White House.
Congress has appropriated $5,
400,000 to do the work.
In one report to Congress, Pre
sident Truman conceded that it
might be cheaper to rebuild than
to try to repair the ancient struc
ture on Pennsylvania avenue.
However, he said that the Amer
ican people would like to pre
serve the present building inso
far as possible for sentimental
and historic reasons.
The commission decided to re
tain the mansion In Ita present
form rather than build an entire
ly new structure aa had been ad'
vocated by some congressmen
ana outers.
The commission, which McKel
lar heada aa chairman of the
Senate appropriations committee,
is the final authority in the controversy.
The reconstruction will Involve
the residential part of the White
House. The Truman family la
now living In the Blair house,
across Pennsylvania avenue from
the old State department building.
The executive offices In the
west wing have not been dis
turbed.
It has been estimated that the
remodeling work will require 18
montha or more.
The residential part of the pre
sent structure has been declared
unsafe by building engineers.
1 0-Day Limit In Bancroft Act Not Mandatory
CORVALLIS, Aug.
Oregon cities no longer will have
to wink at the state Bancroft
act which regulates assessments
against property for city Improve
ments. Attorney General George Neu
ner has ruled for Corvallis that
the 10-day restriction during
which property may be con
demned is directive rather than
mandatory. City Manager J. O.
Convill said. Cities will probably
have the power to set their own
time limits during which appli
cations for bonding will be ac
cepted, ne said.
Because of the 10-day limit for
merly believed in force, many
cities were unable to contact some
property owners in time and
thought they had to either col
lect in full or foreclose.
Convill said the interpretation
of the law had not been received
here yet officially, but was under
stood to be on the way.

Young Brothers Drown
In Tillamook Millpond
TILLAMOOK. Aug. 4, .P
Two young brothers drowned in
s millpond here Tuesday, " the
older apparently in an attempt to
save the younger. ' '
Coroner Allen Lundberg said It
appeared that Benny Charles
Cloud, 11, slipped from a log on
which he was playing, and that
Ernest Edward Cloud, 13, tried to
rescue him. Benny couldn't swim.
The parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe
T. Cloud, said the boys often
watched while logs were being
unloaded in the Staben brothers
millpond, seven miles east of Gari
baldi. They left home for there
yesterday afternoon. When they
did not return by dinner time, two
older brothers looked for them.
They found Ernest's boots on a
log. The bodies were snagged by
grappling hooks. The water was
about 16 feet deep.
The parents and the dlder
brothers, Billie L., and Victor E,
survive.
By an ancient superstition for
testing a lover's faithfulness,
girls used to pierce a lighted can
dle with a pin, then let the flame
burn down around it. If the pin
remained in the charred wick,
the boy friend was faithful. If
the pin fell from the burned wick,
he was a two-timer.

How Price. Varys
The wheat agreement1 maxi
mum price for easlprn ports In
the United States Is $1.96 a bushel
for No. 1 grain. They are higher
because the eastern ports are
closer to major Importing coun
tries than Is Fort Williams.
The agreement maximum price
for this country's gulf ports Is
$1.01. These ports are a little
farther away from consuming
areas than eastern ports. Hence,
their maximum price Is a little
lower.

countries than are eastern and
gulf ports.
The subsidy on wneai snipped
from any of these porta must be
enough to enable exporters to
buy It at the higher domestic
prices and lay It down at the ports
abroad at the maximum prices
set by the agreement.
The subsidy for today for east
ern ports Is 23 cents a bushel.
That means that grain supplying
eastern ports Is priced 23 cents
a uiwiici a Dove ine si.yo maxi
mum agreement price at such
ports, Including cost of transport
ing such grain from inland cen
ters to the ports.
Assuming it cost 111 cents a
bushel to ship wheat from Chi
cago to New York, an exporter
could pay as much as $2.09 at
Chicago for grain there and sell
it under the agreement price at
New York.
Rates Te Set Dally
The subsidy rates will be set
dally so as to take Into account
changing market prices. The sub
sidy rate lor eastern ports will
be based on prices at Chicago,
those for gulf ports on Kansas
City prices, and those for the Pa-
clflc Northwest on prices at Port
land, urr., and Seattle, Wash.
I he subsidy rates will go up
as domestic prices advance, and
go down as they go down.
Officials expect prices to climb
the near price support loan rates
soon after most of the grain has
been harvested. Thus a 20-cent
advance In prices at Chicago
would require a similar Increase
In the present 23 cent export sub
sidy rate for eastern ports.
-in rne otner nana, should do- i
mestlc prices fall below the maxi
mum prices set hy the agreement,
no subsidy would be necessary. i
