The department said this may come to pass even with acreage allotments in lore lor the first time since 1943.

Wimber ly has served notice he is no lon ger going to fool with men who refuse to support their minor children, when so ordered by pro visions of their divorce decree. In fining Lloyd Cingcade ol Central Point, formerly ol Oak land, $100 on a charge ol con tempt of court and commltlng him to the county jail In lieu ol payment Friday, he stated from the bench that "the lowest lorm ol animal life provides for Its young . . . even a skunk." Cingcade was used as an ex ample by the Judge, who later said that he was tired of waiting on men who refused to provide lor their children, when so or dered In their decree. Instead of issuing the usual ci tations to appear to "show cause" why they should not be held in contempt, he is issuing warrants lor their arrest. Too many neg lect to come In at the specified times and warrants must eventu ally be issued, he said. Cingcade was the second per son to be arrested and brought before the judge on a non-support charge this week and the third In recent weeks. A lourth man is slated to appear shortly. Sheriff Elliott Promises Fight To Keep Office PORTLAND, Sept. 3 JP) Marion Leroy (Mike) Elliott promised today to light lor his office as sheriff of Multnomah county even "11 I have to go to the supreme court." Elliott's office was threatened in two actions: 1 A recall movement. " 2 A request by the man who wrote Elliott's $110,000 bond that the bond be cancelled. It was the latter that worried Elliott. Earlier he expressed con fidence he would win in any re call election, witnout a bond, though, he could not hold office. The man who wrote the bond, and now requested cancellation, was Democrat Walter J. Pearson, state treasurer. The bonding company, the Maryland Casualty company, iook nis recommenda tion under consideration. No ac tion was expected before Tues day. In a prepared statement Elliott was scornful of Pearson and other democrats who formerly supported him. He mentioned State Senators Jack Bain and Thomas R. Ma- honey, and asked, "why the sud den change ol heart?" Meanwhile Mike De Cicco. Elliott's Iriend and treasurer of the Oregon Democratic party, dropped into the background. A warrant charging De Cicco with harboring a fugitive was with- arawn. The "lugitlve" was Walter F. Bergen, wanted In Los Angeles, where he is accused of taking his daughter awav from his ex-wife. Bergen arrested yesterday, was ireea on w.ouo bond. Bereen said he would fight extradition. Soviets Say Submarine Sinking Training Threat MOSCOW, Sept. 3.

The committee Is trying to learn the extent of any Influence exerted by the five percenters on top government officials. Some entirely new cases are being opened up by tips pouring in on committee members, Mundt said. He forecast that before the hearings are closed "It will be demonstrated that the Influence racket In Washington is greater than expected." He also predicted that subse quent hearings will show other instances of "persons using White House contacts to advance their interests." Vaughan in his testimony be fore the committee readily ac knowledged that he had lent a helping hand to friends in their dealings with the government but he denied doing anything improper.

Treason Charge NEW YORK, Sept. 3 (. Handsome, 33-year-old Joh n David Provoo Just discharged from eight years in the army was in jail today on charges of betraying his country to Japan during wartime. An ex-sergeant, Provoo alleged ly volunteered his services to Japanese military commanders after his capture on Corregidor in 1942. Federal authorities said he worked lor the war-time enemy lor three years as a propagand ist, an inquisitor ol American prisoners and in other roles. His arrest yesterday on a trea son warrant, just a lew minutes after he had shed his army uni form, apparently surprised him. "This is the lirst I've heard ol this," he said. The maximum penalty lor trea son in time ol war death. An Investigation ol Provoo's case had been underway off-and-on ever since the war's end. The FBI launched a new Inquiry a year ago. The tall, dark-haired Provoo, a native of California and a one time student of Oriental philoso phy, allegedly worked with "Tok yo Rose" in broadcasting Japa nese propaganda to U. S. troops.

I " 3, 1949 TITO TIGHTENS Joint Yugoslav-Soviet Aviation And Danube River Shipping Terms Dissolved nr th Awoclattd Pru' Yugoslav's Premier Marshal Tito has again tightened his belt to nationalist communism. This time his act was one of self-isolation from air and water traffic with Russia and the Comlnform satellite countries. It was done by dissolving the joint Yugoslav-Soviet civilian aviation and Danube river shipping companies. The announcement that this was , done "on the proposal ol" Yugo slavia coincided with reports that Russia and her comlnform allies were boring Inside Yugoslavia with an anti-Tito underground. 1he traffic severance is expect ed to keep Soviet citizens from entering Yugoslavia as airline em ployes. It cuts Yugoslavia off from easy access by air from other east ern European capitals. The vear-old river agreement entered Into over the protests ol western powers which wanted tne Danube under international con trolgave each country control ol Its waters. That teemed like a bargain to Russia at the time because she presumed to control the countries and hence the 2,000-mile river. Now 250 miles of It are under Tito's control, and Yugoslavia has additional waterfront on one bank only. Relations Soured Tito's relations with the Krem lin soured long before their open break, a little more than a year ago. Harvard geologist Klrtley Mather said yesterday in Paris. Mather related details of a lunch eon meeting last week with Tito. He said he asked Tito 11 his relations with Prime Minister Sta. lln were harmonious when they met In Moscow in 1944. "They were not," Mather said Tito re plied. Tito got another measure of moral support today Irom anti Kremlin German communists. Emerging from an eight-day Jail term lor Illegal politicking, Karl Helnz Scholz reallirmed his posl lion lor the Tito-type nationalist communism. Scholz was lalled bv French sector authorities In Berlin lor promoting hia unlicensed Free Communist Party (FKP).

The announcement said most Incidents occurred near the Greek-Bulgarian-Yugoslav border. Ousted Major General Seeks Prison Release WASHINGTON, Sept. 3. (V Bennett E.
