PotatO
As Supply Is Diminished
By LEROY B. INMAN
Butintit Ntw Dtpt. Editor
Tha potato market reflected
sharply upward this week. Few old
potatoes (Oregon Itnssetsl remain
ed for sale and what few there are
available are being held back for
slow release lo consumers at top
prices.
This has resulted, also, in an up
swing in the price of new Califor
nia Shatter potatoes. The market
was described by (ilenn Anderson
of Pacific Fruit as "sizzling hot."
and consumers will have lo recon
cile themselves lo paying a higher
price.
New California reds are on the
market, replacing a disappearing
Florida red. But the price is com
parable. Tha tgg marktt remained
steady, with no change in price.
There was a slight drop in price in
California hut lhi li:t mil been
felt yet locally. More and more lay
ing hens are being disposed of anil
are being featured by some mark
ets at new low prices.
Fryers, also were reported a
good buy in Ihe meat line, along
with pork and smoked bams, which
are still attractive consumer buys.
Beef, veal and seafoods are high.
Very little crab meat is coming in.
A coastal strike reportedly is af
fecting the supply. Salmon, too,
continues scarce.
, The onion market was softening
. with the increase in shipments
from the El Centro area. Also a
Rahosa variety out of Bakersfield
is about ready and this will lend
to drop the onion price.
Carrots from Indio remain
steady and the quality if excel
lent. Turnips from Salinas are
good. Parsnips are also of good
quality but the demand is off be
cause of warmer weather.
Lettuce prices were firming up
a bit, after a flood of the market
last week when several areas of
California started producing. The
price will be up slightly, but the
quality is very good compered
with that of a few years back
when quality lettuce during off-seasons
was hard lo get. The Santa
Maria area is principal producer.
Celery from Chula Vista area is
good and the market steady. Cab
bage from Salinas is improving as
to weight and is green and sweet.
Corn prices remain constant, but
shipments from the Coachilla Val
ley are picking up daily and some
supermarkets, will he featuring
corn this weekend. A few peas are
available from Irvington, but the
demand is down. Fresh beans from
Florida and Mexico are scarce,
hut Chula Vista beans are about
ready. The quality will improve
and the price go down. '
There is little change in arti
chokes. The quality is down a hit
but thev are still good and should
remain so for about 30 days. Sev
eral summer squash varieties are
available.
Watermelon were coming in in
increased amounts from the Im
perial Valley. The quality is much
improved over that of former
vears. Cantaloupes are still priced
high, the demand exceeding the
supply.
Both Oregon hot house and field
cucumbers out of Chula Vista were
plentiful, and the market reacted
downward. Salad lettuces are in
good supply. The avocado market
is strong, as peak production is

VA Receives
Boost In Funds
WASHINGTON (AP) The
House, traditionally reluctant to
ofiend veterans' groups, has voted
tu give the Veterans Administra
tion nearly 19 million dollars more
than the House Appropriations
Committee recommended. Only
liltle more than a fourth of Ihe
membership of the House voted.
The House deeply siasjied Pres
ident Kisenhower's Inidgel re
quests for the National Science
Foundation, the Federal Aviation
Agency, Civil Defense and the
General Services Administration.
In these cuts, however. Ihe
House followed the recommenda
tions of its Appropriations Com
mittee. The omnibus appropria
tions bill, sent lo the Senate
Mondav bv voice vote, calls for a
total of $b'.4.i7,B.i".8(K), or 126 mil
lion dollars less than the Presi
dent asked.
The Appropriations Committee
had recommended S5.02U.226.0UU
for the Veterans Administration.
The President had requested $.r,
029,J85,0UU. But in a series of amendments
proposed by Hep. Olin 'league (D
Tex), chairman of the Veterans'
Affairs Committee. Ihe House
raised it to S5.039.044.0U0.
The bill as passed would give
the Office of Civil and Defense
Mobilization S4:i.735.0O0. a fill of
Sil.2:i5.000 from the President's
request.
The National Science Founda
tion got $14:1.273.000. a cut of $17,
027.000 Irom the President's re
quest. But Ihe SXl.OM.OOO asked
for education of high' school sci
ence and mathematics teachers
was retained. ' '
The Federal Aviation Agency
got S511.4O0.00O. which was 76 mil
lions less then the President
wanted.
Legislature Favorable
To Labor, Leader Says
PORTLAND (AP)-I.abor lead
ers are not unhappy with the
recent session of Ihe Legislature.
J. D. McDonald, president of the
Oregon AFL-CIO. said here.
McDonald said labor achieved
only one major objective: repeal
of the anti-pickeling law.
"But we passed more good bills
and defeated more bad bills than
e"er before." McDonald told the
Multnomah County Labor Council.
McDonald said more than 60
bills were adopted with labor sup
port and 33 unfavorable to labor
were defeated.
"We killed the sales tax for the
umpteenth time. . . We got a
pretty fair tax bill based pretty
much on ability to pay," he said.

Improved tomatoes from Coach-!

the market and the price has drop !

I Local rhubarb is on in full swing,
but there is a rather short supply
this year, unless Ihe tonnage picks
up unexpectedly. Consumers should
consider canning rhubarb at this
time.

able in California, none are being
I brought in yet because of their
1 questionable quality.
! The strawberry market remains
constant, with fairly heavy produc
tion from California. The demand
is great. While they are retailing
at around 2 cents a box in some
stores, there will be no really cheap
berries this year as the acreage is
reduced.
Valencia Orangee are described
as of excellent eating quality and
are improving daily. They compare
favorable wilh navels for sweet
ness. Some pink and white grape
fruit is coming in from Coachilla

varieties from Arizona, but they
are slowlv diminishing. Bananas
are in short supply, but the quality
is good.
Cocoanuts, pineapples, some pa

aphid. II Iirsi was lounu in micin
gan 10 years ago but is of minor

and (4) Develop resistant beet j

They reflect solid progress to

They heighten hopes that the
administration's budget for the!
fiscal year starling July 1 can be
kept in balance.
They vindicate the administra

port to newsmen after their regu

Termed Costly
WASHINGTON (AP)-A colonel
turned congressman said here
the taxpayers are being charged
30 to 40 million dollars a year to
provide servants in uniform for
high-ranking officers.
Itep. Frank Kowalski (D-Conn),
retired colonel, made the esti
mate. His statement was pre
pared for the opening of hearings
on use of manpower by the armed
services.
"Practically every general and
admiral who occupies public quar
ters on a post or base has two,
three, four and sometimes five en
listed men working as full-lime
servants, available not only lo cut
the grass, Irim the shrubbery,
polish the floors, wash Ihe win
dows and serve canapes," Kowal
ski said, "but employed also to
cook and serve the family meals,
wash and polish the officer's pri
vate automobile, do general house
cleaning, including laundry, and
take care of the dog."
Kowalski offered to show "with
in a few minutes' automobile ride
of where we sit," officers' messes
"where one can buy a hamburger
which will be either cooked by a
sergeant or served by a sergeant
or both."
"Why should the Army draft or
enlist 50 soldiers to serve as
chauffeurs in Ihe White House
motor pool'."',. Kowalski asked.
