w Reds Distorted Crow's Diary To Injure U.S. WASHINGTON I The Army says Mai. Gen. Robert W. Grow didn't write in his behind-the-Iron-Curtain diary all the statement Soviet propagandists said he dirt and that the Reds distorted many notes he actually jotted down. These notes,' however; resulted In Grow's conviction by court mar tial Tuesday, ; The Army, In a surprise move Wednesday, said the Russians pub lished portions of the general's personal journal in such a fashion that it appeared he pictured the United States as a potential ag pressor when he really was refer ring to the Soviets. As an example, the Army re leased excerpts from Grow's diary in which he said repeatedly he believed Russia felt that 1951 was the ripe time for war in Europe. The Reds, the Army said, twisted this to indicate America wanted to wage war in 1951. Falsehoods Listed The Army branded as "complete fabrications" these statements at 1 'I to the diary: "War! As soon as possible! Now!" ' mu-i ,enrn that in this war it is fair to hit below the belt.'" "We must understand that this war is total war and is fought with all weapons." iiiis unexpected twist in the year old story of the diary Grow kent while military attache to Russia came one day after a court mar tial of eight top-ranking generals convicted him of improperly keep ing information and of not safe guarding it. He was sentenced to a formal reprimand and suspension from command for six months both deterrents to further promotion. The Army said it hadn't made the disclosure earlier because pub lication of any portion of the diary t?xt might have prejudiced the fincHngs of the court martial. M.cArthur Won't Talk In G.O.P. Campaign NEW YORK I Gen. Douglas MacArthur said Thursday he would lake no part in Gen." Dwight D. Eisenhower'i presidential cam paign. MacArthur, keynote speaker at the Republican National Conven tion, had backed Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio against Eisenhower for the GOP nomination. ' "I will take no part in the pol ical campaign," MacArthur told a reporter at a luncheon given him upon his acceptance of the chair manship of Remington Rand Inc. "I will not be a part of the political picture," he said. MacArthur's aides and Reming ton Rand officials halted the ques tioning when they saw that the general was being interviewed. Thev explained the luncheon was entirely non-political. OSC Draws Students From 33 Countries OREGON STATE COLLEGE -Every Oregon county, 36 of the 48 states and 33 foreign countries were represented at Oregon State College last year according to the registrar's office. Benton County, as expected was the Oregon county leader with 1086 students. Multnomah was next with 898; Marion. 288: and Lane, 216. Total Oregon enroll ment at OSC was 4,373. Neighboring states supolie-.l the big part of the 794 out-of-state students. From California came 412; Washington, 154: and Idaho, 51. The representation from U.S. territories included 30 students from Alaska, 41 from Hawaii and 2 from Okinawa. Countries ranging from Argen tina to West Africa were on the foreign list. There were 17 students from Canada: 9 each from India and China; 5 from Janan, Ger many and Malaya and 4 from Egypt and Iceland. The state, national and foreign groups combined to make the total registration of 5,335. agricultural commodities and a so tends to justify the large in vestment capitalwise and produc tionwise, "Since these figures were com piled, we have seen a modesi de crease in the price of things that farmers sell, but unfortunately the things that farmers buy have been continuing to increase and that means that a profitable produc tion must be carried on and that theacres under cultivation must be utilized to their fullest. "Mostly the needs for capital have been supplied to farmers and ranchers by the banks throughout the state. The eleventh annual na tional survey of agricultural lend ing by the Agricultural Commis sion of the American Bankers As sociation discloses that the vast majority of farm and ranch loans made by banks are for production and operating costs."

Oregon Farmers Make Good Record During 1951 In Repayment Of Loans Oregon farmers 'during 1951 paid back almost as much money as they borrowed. The industry's atfirreKate indebted ness is quite low. These facts are revealed in the annual na tionwide survey by the American Bankers Association, which compiles figures each year to ascertain the kind of job the country's banks are doing in caring for the farmer's require ments. Each county in the nation has "key banker," who represents the association in its study. H. E. Schmeer, Hoseburg banker, who holds the "key banker" job for Douglas County, reports figures compiled by the association for the state of Oregon. In 1951, the reports shows, Ore gon banks serving agricultural communities, loaned $88,876,000 to 24,807 farmers and ranchers for all types of financial needs. Of this amount, $82,587,000 was bor rowed by 23,695 farmers and ranch ers to finance production and op erating needs. This compares with 23.628 production loans totalling $70,106,000 during 1950. As proline tion loans tend to be repaid quick ly, only $31,464,000. remained out standing Dy tne end or tne year. The year 1951 showed a very small increase in the total of bank held farm and ranch mortgage debt. At the beginning of the year, the total agricultural mortgage debt held by Oregon banks was $9,267,000.00 During the year, banks made 1,112 additional farm and ranch real estate loans for an aggregate of 56,280,000.00 Howev er, the payoff of the mortgate debt was so rapid that on Decem ber 31, 1951, the total amount of this long term debt outstanding had risen onl $1,355,000.00 to a total of $10,622,000.00. , The average production loan was $3,485.00 during 1951, and the average farm real estate otn was $5,647.00. Excluding Commod ity Credit Corporation loans, the total of bank-held agricultural debt outstanding in Oregon on January 1st of this year, was $42,086.00. "One thing that is very evident from reviewing these figures is that it takes a great deal more money to grow a given sized crop today than it has in years past," i Schmeer says. "It requires a larg i er investment in the first place, and it requires a larger produc ! tion loan in the second place. Of ! course, Mr. and Mrs. Consumer ; are aware of that in a roundabout j fashion ' through having to pay I more for agricultural products for j table use. Farms Mere Mechanized I "It is interesting to note that insofar as Oregon is concerned, the average Oregon farm has in creased in size during the last ten years, and of course the work has become tremendously more mechanized than formerly. The productivity of a given acre has been increased. This permits the satisfying of the world's needj for Only BOYSEIJ in ff322 colors . .
