Wheat Growers
Vote June 20
On Quotas Issue
Wheat growers will vote June
20 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. in the
Douglas County Court House,
Room 214, in the national referen
dum to decide on continuance of
wheat marketing quotas.
"The soil bank program has
caused a slight change in the eli
gibility rule for voting," explained
J. F. Bonebral.c, chairman of the
county Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation Committee. All
farmers whose wheat cultivation,
plus any wheat acreage held back
under the acreage reserve pro
gram totals more than 15 acres,
will be eligible. In previous rcfer
endums, voting wax limited to
growers who would have over 15
acres of wheat for harvest.
Two-thirds of the eligible voters
must approve quotas in order to
put them into effect on the 1958
wheat crop.
If mint as are anDroved. farmers
who exceed the allotment will be
subject to a penalty of 45 per cent
of the parity price on their excess
wheat, and the support price for
the 1958 wheat crop will be avail
able to farmers who comply with
their wheat allotments at a nation
al average of $1.78 per bushel,
which represents 75 per cent of
parity.
If more than one-third of the
wheat growers, voting disapprove,
quotas will not be in effect. How
ever, allotments will remain in ef
fect, and farmers who comply with
their wheat allotments will be el
igible for support of 50 per cent of
parity, as directed ay law.

Slim worked with the great
clown and bullfighter, Holmcr Hol
comb, for a year as second clown.
When Holcomb was hurt in 1946,
Pickens took over at rodeos for
the rest of the year and by year's
end was well established in his own
right.
In 1950, Pickens got a crack at
motion pictures when a Hollywood
director spotted him. He passed a
screen test and a brand new ca
reer was undertaken that lasted
six years.
During his motion picture career
he has appeared in over 40 pic
tures, including cowboy side-kick
roles with Rex Allen at Republic
Studios.
His latest picture releases in
clude "Cowdog," and the "Great
Locomotive Chase," for Walt Dis
ney, "Stranger at My Door,"
"When Gangland Strikes."
He has regularly appeared on
television including such shows as
"Stories of the Centuries," "Cir
rus Boy," "Frontier Doctor,"
"Lassie," "Buffalo Bill Jr.," "Ann
ie Oakley," "Lone Ranger,"
"Furv," "Cheyenne," and others.
Pickens' home is in Northridge
in the San Fernando Valley in
California. He lives there with his
wife, Maggi, and three children and
a stableful of horses, headed by
Dear Jolui, Slim's picture-horse
and comedy pal at rodeos.
Soldier Tells About

Girard has repeatedly denied he
scattered any empty shells in the
area.
A Japanese district court at

if it docs exist, would not in it
self be cause for any Japanese
charges against Nickel.
"Even if the contents of such a
statement are v e r 1 f i c d," this
source said, "it would not tend to
incriminate Nickel because it is
not proof that Nickel knew of Gi
rard's intention to fire shots."
A Japanese scrap collector at
the range said Thursday it was
"usual" for American soldiers to
toss used cartridge cases to the
waiting collectors.
The Army said Nickel has been
restricted to his ramp at his own
request to avoid reporters. His
mother said he had written her:

Senator Morse
Attacks Foreign
Aid Spending Bill
By ERNEST B. VACCARO
WASHINGTON I Sen. Worse
'(D-Ore) said Thursday "a sense
i less waste of millions" on foreign
'aid has contributed to "a rising
tide of anti-Americanism through
out the world."
Morse joined Sen. Long (D-La)
;in an attempt to cut 390 million
dollars from the $3,637,000,000 for
ieign aid bill over the opposition
of both party leaders.
In the Senate's second day of
debate, Morse described a com
mittee - recommended cut of 227
million dollars in administration
requests as "but a spit in the
i ocean of foreign aid waste."
I Morse said the administration
is seeking to "perpetrate a gigan
tic hoax on the Senate and the
people of the United States" by
its proposals lor long-range, Ilex
ible spending authority.
I And, he said, the administration
I is hiding from the people under
i the label of "top secret" the full
story on its use of the funds.
I "They are to be spent to supply
I arms and ammunition to nations
i from one end of the globe to an
other," Morse said. "They will be
used to build up armed forces of
both democratic nations and to
talitarian nations."
He said Congress "should insist
on a greater degree of public dis
closure of the facts concerning the
places where the money is spent
and the purpose for which it is to
be spent.
Democratic Leader Lyndon B.
Johnson of Texas told his col
leagues he hopes for final action
on the bill by Saturday night.
Johnson said earlier he thought
it would be "dangerous" to make
any "meat axe cuts" in the au
thorization bill since a subsequent
appropriations bill providing the
money to finance the program
will be "revised downward." Re
publican Leader Knowland of Cal
ifornia took a similar position.
Sen. Long, leading the effort to
cut 390 million dollars from the
bill's total, filed a written report
arguing that those opposing cuts
"are too willing to tolerate wide
spread waste and inefficiency."
Railroad Rates
Reduction Given
For Fresh Meats
CHICAGO The Transcon
tinental Traffic Bureau Thursday
approved railroad rate reductions,
varying from 7 to 22 per cent, on
fresh meats shipped from India
napolis, Chicago and other mid
west points to the Pacific coast
area.
The executive committee of the
bureau also approved slight re
ductions in packing house products
shipped westbound but refused a
proposal, submitted by livestock
interests and Pacific Coast meat
packers, on livestock shipped in
me same direction.
Charles Hennings, a staff mem
ber of the bureau, said the new
rates were based on a minimum
weight of 30,000 pounds. Old rail
road traffic rates still apply on a
minimum weight of 21,000 pounds,
he added.
"The adjustment on fresh meats
and packing house products was
necessary to meet motor carrier
competition," said Hennings.
Subject lo 5 per cent tariff
rates, Hennings said 100 pounds
of fresh meat shipped from Chi
cago to the Pacific Coast would
now cost $2.69. The old rate was
$3.30 per 100 pounds. This amounts
to an 18 per cent reduction.
A one hundred pounds of fresh
meat, shipped from Kansas City
to San Francisco and the north
Pacific Coast, would be rated at
$2.39, compared to a previous
$3 13 charge, Hennings reported.
Hennings said present rates on
parking house products at a min
imum weight of 30.000 pounds
would be reduced on the same
basis as fresh meats except where
rates are presently lower.

Unusual Books Discovered
During Wilbur Remodeling
By MRS. LEWIS BINTLIFF
A large number of unusual books
were removed from the attic of the
Wilbur school recently, prior to re
modeling of the building.
Many of them were very old,
among them congressional records
dating back to the early 1800's.
There were also a number of Ore
gon histories and old German Bi
bles. The books were the property
of the old Umpqua Academy, and
the more valuable one have been
stored at the courthouse until they
can be placed in a museum or suit
able place. Others, including many
old classics and fiction books, are
being stored at the Wilbur Church.

Detroit Girl Found
Murdered At Dump;
Father Embittered
DETROIT 11 Six-year-old
Mary de Caussin was found slain
Thursday in a dump two miles
from her home in Ecorse Town
ship in Detroit's downriver area.
The girl's head was almost sev
ered and her hands were tied be
hind her back. The body was un
clothed. A resident of the neighborhood,
Paul Panter, found the body when
he went to the dump to throw out
a basket of rubbish.
The finding of the body ended
an ifarniifht cnni-h nirlnH hv near
ly 1,000 volunteers. The girl had i
been missing from her home since
5:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Police said the girl apparently
was killed at the scene.
Mary was the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Edmund de Caussin Jr.
The child's mother, Gcrvaisc, 30,
reported her missing after she
failed to return home.
The father said bitterly, before
the body was found, "assuming
the wbrst has happened, I
wouldn't blame the man as much
as the society t which produces
such men. It's a society that al
lows sex magazines on news
stands for kids to read; a society
that measures Hollywood stars by
their bosoms, and a society where
the telling of dirty stories and the
use of foul language is common
place.
"These things produce sex per
verts out of people who have the
slightest abnormal tendencies.
They are encouraged by every
thing around them.
"Until the day society changes
Its fundamental moral principles
and re-asserts a helicf In God, we
will have sex perverts."
Mao Concedes
800,000 Persons
Were Liquidated
NEW YORK 11 The New York
Times said today that Mao Tie
tung has admitted 800,000 persons
were "liquidated" by Chinese
Communist security forces be
tween October 1949 and the begin
ning of 1954.
A Times dispatch from Warsaw
said Bed China's top leader dis
closed that figure in his much
discussed speech to party leaders
in Peiping last February.
The text of Mao's speech has
not been published, but a condens
ed version has been circulated
among Polish Communists and
parts of it previously have been
reported by Western correspond
ents in Warsaw.
The latter included Mao's new
Marxist theory that contradictions
exist, not only in the ranks of the
masses but also between the mass
es and the party. This represented
a departure from Soviet doctrine
which long has held that conflicts
between the rulers and the ruled
existed only under capitalism and
vanished in a Communist society.

Brewster's Trial
Recesses While
Kennedy Honored
WASHINGTON Ml The con
tempt of Congress trial of team
ster leader Frank W. Brewster
was in recess Thursday while the
government's only witness was
receiving an honorary degree.
Robert F. Kennedy, chief coun
sel of the Senate rackets investi
gating committee, was receiving
the degree from Assumption Col
lege in Worcester, Mass.
The trial, which started Wed
nesday, will be resumed Friday.
U. S. Dist. Judge John J. Sirica
is hearing the case without a jury.
Brewster, chairman of the 11
state Western Conference of
Teamsters, is accused of unlaw
fully refusing to produce union
records and to answer questions
before the Senate Investigations
Subcommittee last January.
Kennedy was counsel of that
subcommittee and now is chief
lawyer of the special Senate com
mittee which took over an investi
gation of labor-management rack
eteering from the subcommittee.
Kennedy, on the witness stand
briefly late Wednesday, said that
before calling Brewster the sub
committee had information which
he said indicated that (1) some
reports Brewster filed with the
Labor Department "were not ac
curate" and (2) there had been

Rose Festival
Gets Under Way;
Queen Selected
PORTLAND u The annual
Portland Rose Festival was un
der way Thursday, following se
lection of a queen for the event.
The new queen is 18-year-old
Alice Eastman, a brunette senior
at Lincoln High School here. She
was selected before a crowd of
16.000 in Multnomah Stadium
Wednesday nigh .
tns of the city Thursday. Anion
them were Bremerton and Giants
Pass high school bands, an Army
band from Ft. Lewis and the
Knights of Pythias girls' band
from Roseburg.
Night entertainment shows will
be held at the stadium Thursday
and Friday nights. Air safety of
ficials forced the festival to drop
one planned entertainment fea
ture. That was the planned per
formance of a young aerialist
while dangling from a helicopter.
The officials said it was too dan
gerous to have a helicopter hov
ering over the stadium. They also
moved the precision flying exhi
bition of the Navy's Blue Angels
from Swan Island near downtown
Portland, to the airport.
Nine Navy ships were sched
uled to tie up at the harbor wall
here to remain for the rest of
the festival.
The junior rose parade is sched
uled Friday and the main floral
parade on Saturday.
Miss Eastman, an honor stu
dent, said she plans to use her
Rose Festival scholarship to at

Idaho Power Tax Writeoff
Issue Argued By Senators
WASHINGTON LB Sen. Ke -
fauver (D-Tenn) said Thursday
there is "a serious question" as
to whether the Idaho Power Co.
obtained special tax benefits
through misrepresentation, but
Sen. Wiley (R-Wis) challenged
him to find "anything crooked;"
Kefauver is chairman and Wiley
a member of a Senate Judiciary
subcommittee on monopoly mat
ters which questioned Thomas E.
Roach, Idaho Power Co. presi
dent, about tax write-off certifi
cates the firm obtained in con
nection with two dams it -is build
ing in the Hells Canyon area.
Kefauver said inconsistencies in
the record of the case raise a
question as to "whether the tax
certificates were obtained by mis
representations." Kefauver said Idah Power told
the Federal Power Commission it
had "faint hope" for a tax write
off and would build with its own
money three dams which would
flood the site of a proposed fed
eral Hells Canyon dam in the
Snake River. The company then
got a write-off, Kefauver added.
Wiley said Idaho Power appar
ently "changed its mind" and
then sought and obtained a write
off. "Is there anything crooked in
that?" Wiley asked. "Just what

Kefauver Questioned Roach
closely about Idaho Power's con
struction plans, noting that to
qualify for the tax write-off both
Brownlee and Oxbow dams must
be completed by Dec. 31, 1951.
Brownlee is about half completed.
Roach said the FPC license cov
ering the company's dams speci
fies that Oxbow must be com
pleted by 1961, but that the com
pany can complete it next year.
Roach said he decided to havt
Oxbow built in 1958 soon after
April 1, 1957, -when the Supreme
Court upheld the legality of the
company's FPC license.
Roach insisted his decision to
build Oxbow in 1958 was made
before the tax write-off certifi
cates were issued.
Asked whether Oxbow would
cost more than had been esti
mated as a result of a "rush-up"
construction schedule, Roach said
it "may not cost a cent more."
Idaho Power never has underes
timated construction costs, he de
clared. AP, Telegraphers
