JUNE IS DAIRY MONTH By Charles The dairy Industry is releasing much advertising and publicity in observance of June as "Dairy Month. The industry is endeavoring to acquaint the general pub lic with the contribution being made to the state's econ omy in this department of production. The dairy business has had some tough sledding. It still is far from security. Costs of labor, feed, materials, supplies and equipment have advanced in greater propor tion than income. Labor, in particular, has been a prob lem, especially in labor-short communities. ; While many counties, such as those of the coastal belt, are able to produce milk at less cost than is pos : sible in Douglas County, because of better all-year feed ; supply, Douglas County could well support much larger ' production than at present. : We are not producing enough milk to meet local ; demand. A large part of our supply must be imported. : But, being In a critically labor-short area, coupled with ; higher-than-average production costs, our dairy industry ; is not expanding in proportion to our population growth. ; Laws Handicap Expansion ; One factor discouraging expansion of the dairy indus- ; try is the strict supervision provided by Oregon Law. - Only a comparatively few years ago there were vlr- t tually no limitations upon the sale of milk. We had many '. outbreaks of disease' and a higher rate of infant mortality. : But milk was plentiful because every farm had a few cows ; from which milk was sold. ; Because of the large volume of unclean and disease- laden milk offered for sale, Oregon adopted regulations ' and set up inspection services for purposes of public pro- tection. These laws, amended from time to time, give '. Oregon's milk an exceptionally high rating for its quality. ; The State Department of Agriculture, in a recent bulle- ; tin, offers a few facts concerning high milk standards: ' Inspections Are Rigid ' Orogon will tolerate not mora than 80,000 bactorla par millilitar In grada A raw milk shipped to pattaurliing planti; Tha U.S. Public Haalth Service standard for tha tamo milk It 200,000 bactaria par ' millilitar ' In 1951, tha state (which maam fltldmtn and specialists for tt-o dapartmant'i dlvlilon of foods and dalrlai) mado tha Impactions ; In tho grada A fiold: 3,554 at dairy farms; 410 at distributor plants. It collected and analyzad 12,023 samplas, also chacking all pasteur . had samplas to detarmlna If proparly pastaurliad, and tastad 14, l . 483 cans of milk for compliance with grada A sediment standards. It found thai violations from fluid milk dairies: 122 for bactaria, Id for sediment and 27 for sanitation. At tha plant level, it found 5? bacteria violations. ; Coupled with a requirement that all milk sold, offer- ed or exposed for sale as grade A be from herds free of Bang's disease, Oregon laws give consumers the sat ;, Isfaction of knowing that the fluid milk they consume is of r exceptionally high quality. But these regulations have changed the production pic '. ture, forcing larger herds, better equipment, more sani- tary buildings, healthier stock. Certainly we want the highest degree of protection, in- asmuch as milk is one of our most healthful and important foods. At the same time we need a much larger dairy in dustry in Douglas County This being Dairy Month we can profitably give se ! rious thought to the achievements of the industry, its prob ; lems and prospects, and, more particularly, the part the ; industry plays in our individual lives. , Well, It's an Idea anyhow, and ; I'm sure the Saturday Evening Post will not mind if I qunto a ; letter from one of the readers and so pass the idea along! it sug ; gests one simple way to combat . unfavorable propaganda overseas. 1 "... .Millions of patriotic Americans are wringing their ' hands in frustration and crying, . "What Can I Do?" The answer is ; simple: magazines like the Post are our best propaganda; they ; show how we live and think, and . depict tho freedom and prosper , ity of democracy as opposed to the tyranny and poverty of Com ; monism. Yet we waste millions of . copies every week "It costs only 12 cents per pound ; to mail magazines anywhere in tho world except behind the Iron ; Curtain.

And all over the world ; people are eager to learn English; it is until that language of the 'Spirit Is" realized the language that comes nearer each day to be ,ing a universal language.

VW rALLTFlATv Alt, WE'LL ONC BE IN' CHCACO A TEW mfi ' yi mm WASHINGTON If Senator Robert A. Taft wins the Republican nomination in Chicago on the first ballot, as he predicts he will, delegates from south of the Mason Dixon line will have to do the job. So far 113 delegates from South ern states have been elected on a Taft ticket, to 46 for Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, and the Taft total does not include 23 dis puted Texas delegates who were chosen for the senator over pro tests from a rump convention backing Ike. Experts are now predicting that Taft and Eisenhower will go to Chicago with the Senator leading by not more than 50 delegates. Uncommitted or still to be chosen are 34 Southern delegates who. if they follow the inclination of their neighbors, probably will get on the Taft bandwagon at the first roll call. If they do, the Ohio sen ator will not have far to go to win. Counting the disputed Texas delegates, 61 contested GOP con vention votes are on the books at tho moment. Strangely enough, all of them are southerners. Georgia has 16, Louisiana 9, Mississippi 5, Texas 29, and Virginia 2. The uncommitted and contested Southern delegates total 95. Taft could take them all for a first ballot victory, and the next few days probably will decide whether he gets them. With the exception of the hot fight in Texas, COP national committee officials have certified all the contested dele gate battles back to the various states. Under Republican party rules, adopted in 1944 and rcadopted in 1948 at the insistence of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey's henchmen, the national convention can only decide disputes involving dole gates at large. There are but ten of these. The national convention operates on the theory that dele gate battles are strictly home town battles, with tho exception noted above. The big fight, of course, will be over the Texas contingent, un less convention officials certify it back to the home state prior to the July 7 conclave. Even this may not forestall a Texas demonstra tion on the convention floor on Ike's behalf. The General is es pecially sensitive over the Texas scrap, since he considers this his native state, and for reasons of sentiment and prestige ho wants the Texas contingent in his camp. Actually, the Texas slate tor Taft is considered legal by con vention officials. They were pre pared to say so when the Ohio senator pulled what is considered his major pre-convention blunder hy offering to compromise with Eisenhower. In doing so he out the convention aides on the spot, and he encouraged Eisenhower's backers to put up a stiffer fight. In offering to compromise, Taft was not suggesting that the con vention Ignore its own rules. Ho was speaking mainly to the anger ed Texas faction that took a shel lacking from his forces in that state. He wanted to niuzzle any emotional convention demonstra tion that might stir up a wave of sympathy for Ike. He has, of course, been largely ignored bv the Eisenhower leaders in Texas. With the exception of Texas. Eisenhower's supporters are more or less Ignoring the uncom mitted and contested Southern del egates. They are concentrating on Pennsylvania, Maryland and Mich igan, which have a total of 62 dele gates. Even If Eisenhower can not win a first ballot nomination by capturing all three states, he can at least even up the score fora "Long Stay, 0 f Lewis Jr. if Taft nabs all the Southern votes. Michigan's 26 delegates and 32 Pennsylvania delegates are listed as uncommitted. The 24 Maryland delegates are pledged to Gov. Theodore McKeldin, who will take as many of them as possible into the Eisenhower column. Michigan is regarded as leaning toward Ike. Pennsylvania's 32 are the real prize and are still in doubt. With out them it is generally conceded that Eisenhower's hopes will be considerably dimmer than they are at the moment. And the way they are cast on the first roll call conceivable could decide the con vention war before it is well under way. Hear Fulton Lewis Daily OnKRNR, 9:15P.M. Sen. Taft Blasts Ike On Domestic, Foreign Issues NEW YORK 11 Sen. Robert A. Taft blasted Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower on domestic and for eign issues Thursday night, scorn ed a "me too" type of presidential campaign and lambasted "new deal" Republicanism. In a nationally televised pro gram, "Answer to Abilene," Taft spoke out on vital issues while taking verbal pot shots at Eisen hower, his chief contender for the GOP presidential nomination. Taft claimed he has gained in both popular and convention dele gate strength since Eisenhower came home from Europe. Concern ing delegates, he said: "I can't find a single one that Gen. Eisen hower's gained." Taft accused Eisenhower of be ing ill-informed on several of the major issues particularly re duction of government expendi tures. "I think the general has gone back on the 40 billion tax cut," said Taft. "... I don't think he could have meant that, because . . . you couldn't have any armed forces at all, unless you have com plete disarmament, with any such tax cut." Eisenhower Clari'itd Eisenhower was variously quot ed in New York a week ago both standing, or shifting his views on as saying he favored a 40 billion dollar tax cut and a 40 billion dol lar budget cut over several years. In Denver Thursday night the gen eral said he had referred to a cut of 30 to 40 billions in the federal budget not in taxes. The Ohio senator urged an 1m- meoiate end to price controls, re pudiation of Truman administra tion foreign policies, gradual elim- inalion of the draft, continuation of farm price supports with quali- tications, and a personal platform stressing individual liberty. lr elected President, he prom ised, he would balance the budget curing nis first year in office. A siraffe can reach the ground with its mouth only by placing Its legs in an awkward position. itiraires are almost voiceless. entirely - JustnCase In the Day's News (Continued from Page One) use of the Taft-Hartley Law in the stoel strike is under consideration. He replied that it has been under consideration right along. He was then asked if he thought he should or would use the law soon. He answered that he regards use of the law as purely PERMISSIVE, rather than mandatory. Well, over the country as a whole, a lot of law enforcement officials have looked upon the anti - gam-1 bling laws as purely permissive and not mandatory. That is to say, i they have taken the position that they could enforce them or not en-; force them, as they choose. Out of that attitude THE GAM BLING RACKETS HAVE AR1S- j EN. When the law enforcement side of government claims the powd er to decide whether the laws that j have been enacted by the legis- j lative side of government shall oe enforced or NOT enforced, we are playing with fire. At its annual convention in Seat tle, Kiwanis International writes nto its records a hard-hitting res olution calling upon government to give out ALL the news AS AND WHEN IT HAPPENS. The resolution demands that the RIGHT of freedom of information be continued as a fundamental right of all the people. It says: "Some public officials feci they are not accountable to the public, particularly In the handling of in formation of non-defense depart ments; that they may conduct the business of their offices in secret; that they may seal or impound public records; that they may di vulge only such information as they think is good for the people to know." It concludes: "Kiwanis International vigorous ly condemns all such practices, and denounces such misuse of of ficial influence and power." That is well and boldly said. NOTHING In this country is more dangerous than the way in which In recent years news has been fed out to us with the obvious intent on the part of the administration (meaning the crowd in power) of HANDLING us Instead of keeping us accurately informed. You must have noticed you couldn't have HELPED noticing! that when the administration wants to dragoon more money out of congress for defense purposes the NEWS GETS BAD. Readina the headlines at such times, you're : warrantee; In jumping to the con clusion that the Russians are going to attack us TOMORROW! You get the shivers every time you pick up a paper or turn on your radio. But when the administration wants us to believe that because of the wisdon and genius with which our affairs are being hand led in Washington nobody has any thing 1o fear if only the same crowd Is kept in power, then the news that is peddled to us turns rosy and hopeful. That is coming to be more or less accepted practice. It is DANGEROUS. When government has and CON STANTLY USES the power to color the news according to whatever purposes the government in pow er has it in mind to employ iN ORDER TO STAY IN POWER it amounts in practice to THOUGH"!' CONTROL. Thought control is the first step toward communism, nazism, fasc ismor any other ism by means of which the KEW seek to gain con trol of the lives, the fortunes and the liberties of the MANY. The new German government at Bonn operates in an eclave senarated from any state much i like the American District of Col umbia. Senate, House Split On Money For Water Jobs WASHINGTON OH The House and Senate, 175 million dollars apart, left to a conference com mittee Friday the decision on the size of the country's flood control and navigation program for the coming year. The Senate, passing Its Army Civil Functions Appropriation Bill by a voice vote Thursday, put the total at $667,474,699. The House earlier had voted $492,434,900. A joint committee of the two houses, yet to be named, must compro mise the difference's. All but a small amount in the measures is for flood control and rivers and harbors projects. . As passed by the Senate, the bill carries $303,777,200 for lod control projects; $277,135,000 for navigation projects; $62,520,000 for the lower Mississippi; $18,822,540 for the Panama Canal Zone gov ernment; $4,319,350 for cemetery expenses and $900,000 for a Niaga ra River power survey. Under Truman Budget The Senate bill Is 3S per cent above the House bill but still some 45 million or about 6.4 per cent under President Truman's budget recommendations. In approving the bill the Senate beat back several attempts to re duce the amount. Sen. Douglas (D. 111.) failed in efforts to cut 120 million dollars from the bill. Much of the increase made in Ihe House Civil Functions Bill b the Senate resulted from addition of or increases for a dozen big dam projects. The House either had ignored these projects or giv en 'considerably smaller amounts. Included are The Dalles and Mc Nary Dams in Oregon and Chief Joseph and Ice Harbor in Wash ington. Whether these projects as ap proved by the Senate will survive the conference committee is a mat ter of speculation. Newport Seeks Lincoln County Seat From Toledo NEWPORT, Ore. Wl Petitions are being circulated here to move the Lincoln County seat from Toledo to Newport. Some 1,500 voters must sign the petition if the proposed measure is to appear on the November ballot. Similar proposals have been re jected four times previously. Otto Cahill of Nelscott is sponsor of the present move. NOW BUY AND WEAR THE LOVELIEST OF COTTON DRESSES , wilhout a washing worry!
