Smith Says Republicans
Must Attack Problems
PRINEVIILLE (AP) Republi
cans must "atlack our real prob
lems instead of merely attacking
the Democrats," former Gov. El
mo Smith said here Tuesday.
In a speech here, SnuA, a can
didate for the Republican nomi
nation for the U. S. Senate, said:
"We face an urgent challenge
to solve our great problems in
science, defense and international
relations. We should make this
positive approach instead of blind
ly charging the Democratic Party
with socialism.
"Most of the gains in social leg
islation in Oregon and nationally
have been accomplished under
leadership of the Republican
Party," Smith said.

MARKET TIPS
Old Potatoes Winding Up
Fast; New Ones Take Over;
Hawaiian Theme Featured
ar "me
. By LEROY B. INMAN
dullness News Dept. Editor
Windup of the old potato market
appears very soon, as wholesalers
are finding it almost impossible to
obtain any supplies, and only a
few are in the hands of retailers.
The market is closing strong at
the highest f o b. price in years.
New potatoes, however, are com
ing on very fast, to the point, in
fact, the price is moderating rapid
ly. There appear to be ample sup
plies, for the present at least, from
the Edison district of California.
A new shipping area is opening
up in that state but the potatoes
are as yet immature. Red pota
toes are available in local super
markets and are very good.
The Hawaiian theme will be
emphasized in some local super
markets the next couple of weeks.
Large shipments of Hawaiian pine
apples, cocoanuts and limited
amounts of papayas and mangoes
are arriving. The pineapples are
very good and larger than the Cu
ban variety which supplies much
of our market.
Another item coming on this
week is corn from the Imperial
Valley. The quality is fine, the de
mand good, but the price is a bit
high as yet.
On the minus side, cabbage and
celery are scarce. The warmer
weather is lessening demand for
cabbage, and if it were not for
that fact there would be no where
near enough to supply demand.
The market has risen drastically
on celery and the quality has drop
ped. Carrots are also scarce all over.
What there are are fine, but the
price is reflecting upward. Plenty
of very good bunch beets and tur
nips, along with beet, turnip and
mustard greens, are available
from California, along with a few
parsnips. Dry onions from Oregon
are about wrapped up. New ones,
and very good, are arriving from
Bakersfield and El Ccntro.
The lettuce market has eased
considerably as new California
shipping areas open up. Red let
tuce, roinaine and endive also are
plentiful. Salinas. Calif., and The
Dalles have excellent radishes and
green onions. Avocados are getting
into the summer fruit. Much of it
is the hardshell variety, very good
but more difficult for the shopper
to determine if it is ripe.
Cauliflower in cello wraps from
frvington is fair but higher priced.
Broccoli quality is fine. Bakers
field peas are very good and
steady in price. Artichokes remain
a good buy, but are in their final
stage. Very good zucchini and oth
er summer squash varieties are on
and demand is also good.
The Imperial Valley is starting
to produce cantcloupes, which will
soon be taking the play away from
Mexican melons. The price is. as
yet, high. The same holds for Mex
ican watermelons. Cucumbers arc
becoming plentiful, as Mexico,

Chula Vista area of California and
hot house cucumbers from the
Salem district are all available.
Oregon and Washington aspara
gus is materializing very well. The
crop, slow to develop, is reported
excellent. However, the supply is
not expected to be heavy this year
and the price will not get really
cheap." Demand continues fair
for egg plant. Good peppers are
available from Mexico. Tomatoes
are .still high as those from the
Imperial Valley are slow to ma
ture. Another week should show a
marked change.
Local rhubarb probably will be
winding up this week, which will
mean going to Portland area for
the crop.
Winetap apples took a drastic
jump this week. The inventory is
45 per cent lower in the hands of
wholesalers and suppliers than it
was a year ago. What few remain
are still very good. A few Deli
cious apples remain. Strawberries
in limited amounts will be avail
able in some markets this week.
Several areas of California are
high. There is not expected to be
any great amount before the last
week in May.
Oranges are up again, indicating
a poorer crop. Lemons are holding
steady after taking a decided drop.
Indian River grapefruit and that
from Arizona are practically
through. Coachilla Valley is taking
the play almost entirely. Bananas
are again very good and demand
is picking up.
. The egg and fryer market con
tinues unchanged this week. Eggs
are down a bit in price from that
a couple of weeks ago, but still six
to seven cents above the price a
year ago.
The Portland cattle market re
portedly closed with a strong un
dertone this week. Hog prices
moved back up to the season's
high point and prices on old crop
and spring lambs again took oppo
site roads. Salable cattle supplies
numbered about the same as last
week at Portland, but sheep re
ceipts were nearly a fourth small
er and salable hog offerings were
fully a fourth lighter.
Trade Stamp
Battle Looms
In Oregon
SALEM (AP) A new battle
over the use of trading stamps
is shaping up in Oregon.
Ralph Emmons, Salem, spokes
man for the newly organized Ore
gon Business Council, said his
group would ask the 1961 Legisla
ture to regulate the stamps.
And Harold F. Wendel, presi
dent of Lipman Wolfe & Co., Port
land and Salem department store
firm is headed of another new
organization that will fight any
effort to restrict use of trading
stamps.
Wendel's organization is called
Oregonians for Business Freedom,
and it claims that the Oregon
Business Council really wants to
abolish the stamps.
Emmons said Tuesday that the
council wants legislation to in
clude these provisions:
That every stamp show the
value on its face, and that books
show the amount of purchase nec
essary to fill them.
That stamps be redeemable in
cash in amounts of one cent or
more.
That trading stamp companies
be licensed by the state and be
j required to show adequate re-
oi l vu lui leuciiipuuii ui siaiups.
That these companies be re
quired to sell to any merchant
who wants them, thus eliminating
exclusive franchises.
The 1959 Legislature killed a
bill to apply a license fee to trad
ing stamp companies and distrib
utors. There have been spectacular
batllcs in the Legislature over the
stamps, with thousands of house
wives coming to their defense.
The new Oregonians for Busi
ness Freedom issued this state
ment: "The immediate objective of
this organization will be to thwart
those who are seeking legislation
that would kill or unduly regulate
trading stamps, the giving of
which is a merchandising prac
tice of proven integrity, good for
both merchant and public.
"Secondarily, its purpose is to
safeguard all phases of free en
terprise on the theory that the
door of business when opened to
control by government can't be
opened just a little without the
risk of complete government control.
Attorney General In Fast Moves
Under Recent Civil Rights Bill
WASHINGTON (AP) Movin
quickly under the new Civil Rights
Act, Atty. Gen. William P. Rogers
has asked to inspect voting rec
ords in four counties in four
Southern states.
In letters to the county regislra
tion boards. Rogers said:
"This demand is based upon in
formation in the possession of tne
attorney general tending to show
that distinctions on the basis of
race or color have been made
with respect to registration and
voting within your jurisdiction."
The Justice Department said
that while thousands of Negroes
live in the four comities, none is
registered to vote. The counties
are McCormick County, S.C., East
Carroll Parish, La., Webster
County, Ga., and Wilcox County,
Ala
The McCormick County attorney
called Rogers a "liar" for charg

have four Negroes registered.
Three registered last week and
one last fall. In the second place,
no Negro, to my knowledge, has
ever been refused registration if
they applied. None ever applied
before."
H. Henderson Bruce, chairman
of the Wilcox County Board of
Registrars, said the board hasn't
received anv applications from
Negroes since he was appointed
chairman Nov. 16. Earlier records
of the board, he said, were sub
poenaed tor a grand jury investi
gation and he has never seen
them.
At Preston, Ga., Florrie H. Mc
Kinnon. clerk of Suoerior Court in
Webster County, said a complete
list of registered voters is always
open to inspection in her ottice.
"I doubt if we've got a dozen
Negroes in this county who could
qualify to vote," she said. "It's
been over two years since any
Negroes applied to register." The
Justice Department said tiiere arc
1,296 Negroes of voting age in the
county.
The civil rights bill was signed
into law by President Eisenhower
only last Friday. Rogers went into
action on the first business day
thereafter. He said the move was
a forerunner "of a widespread
program of inspection of voting
records in stales where 'Constitu
tional rights of citizens have been
infringed by discriminatory practices."
Plant Life Found Oxygen Producer
SEATTLE (AP) - Man may
live comfortably in space using
oxygen produced by plant life, an
experiment conducted by Boeing
Airplane Co. indicated tentatively
Tuesday.
Dr. Romney H. Lowry, manager
of the company's Space Medicine
Division, spent six hours in an air
tight chamber, breathing only
oxygen delivered to the chamber
by tanks of green algae, a micro
scopic water plant.
Boeing said Lowry worked com
fortably while the algae converted
the carbon dioxide he exhaled into
life-sustaining oxygen. Without the
algae, the exhaled carbon dioxide
would have caused first discom
fort and then unconsciousness, as
his body absorbed all the oxygen
in the sealed chamber.
The experiment is a preliminary
step toward development of a
closed ecological .vstcm. where
man's waste products could be re
used to provide oxygen and food
during extended space flights,
Boeing said.
