Newspaper Page TextThursday. January 21, 1932 EA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER, ES GRANDE, ORE, Page Eight Farm Board Aids Development Of i Co-op Marketing PENDLETON,'. Jan. 21 (Special) Congress evolved no new theory In the agricultural marketing act, but rather called up the fundamental government practice of assisting In dustry In emergency or pioneering stages, declared A. O. Adams, treas urer and general manager of North Pacific Grain Growers, Inc., regional . co-operative. In an address at noon today before the Pendleton chamber of commerce. -V'lt has been the practice of our government to aid industry in emer gencies or In its Infant stages, and to withdraw when the Industry has reached a degree of development where It 1a able to go on alone," said Mr. Adams. "Proof of this can be found in the early land grants and mall con tracts given the railroads, In the establishment of the Interstate com merce commission to curb surplus transportation. In tho airways com mission and mall contracts for the aeroplane, in the second class postage rates for printing and advertising and in the tariff and federal trade com mission for industry. Mr. Adams declared that In the excitement created over the farm board's ventures In trading In wheat and cotton, people had quite gen erally lost sight of the accomplish ments of the board In developing co-operative organizations. "Since the farm board came Into existence In 1920, It has doubled the LAST DAY! the YELLOW TKKE ..

Mi. Adams described how the or ganization of the wheat co-operative structure had not only enabled the farmers of the nation to reap me advantages of the marketing act, but had opened the way for them to new and cheaper credit. During Its first year of operation. North Pacific Grain Growers handled 30.000,000 bushels of wheat co-opera-tivply, he said. . MARKET NEWS OF THE DAY J S-ISSALANDI tM3 LIONEL Sw if Butter Demand Gains; Better Prices Likely PORTLAND, Jan, 21 W) Decreas ing make of butter continues to be reflected In tbe local trade. Much similar situation is shown at prac tically all Pacific i slope points. Some late decrease In eastern churning Is indicated. Demand for butter continues to gain and is now reported at fully a third more than It was previous to the late cut in the price. Two bit butter In some of the leading retail shops appears a very popular move and has forced a considerable surplus Into consuming channels. Here and there Is talk of advancing prices for butter but trade leaders appear unwilling to make a move In that direction through fear of cre ating a surplus when delayed butter fat arrivals appear for churning. In general only weakness Is reflect ed in tho market for eggs. No change In the price was announced by the Pacific co-ops, but some deals in mediums are reported at reductions. These are weakest. Very small supplies of live chickens are reaching the local trade but prac tically none appear wanted at the moment. Prices continue weak all around with killers determined to clean up their batteries before buy ing more. There Is a good local demand for turkeys but little change Is shown in prices. Buyers are generally offer ing 19 20c lb. for fancy birds. Home demand for Immediate consumption is good at the low price. Columbia river smelt schools are badly scattered. The high water and driftwood are blamed. The fish are said to be swimming mostly In the brush along the shore. Priced nom inally a nickel a pound. Run of steelhead salmon appeans about over In the Columbia and the coast streams are closed. Fresh Alaska kings are arriving and selling 25c lb. with head on. Crabs are scarce with orders unfilled.

Clubs Face A Holdout; Man WhoWon'tFly CHICAGO, Jan. 21 VPi American Association clubs may produce a new kind of baseball holdout niext season the player who refuses to fly. .-- As Thomas Jefferson Hickey, presi dent of the loop, studied the pro posal to ship the clubs from park to park by air today, he admitted some difficulty would be encountered with those players, who think flying Is about as safe as a groove ball to Babe Ruth. "No doubt, we will have some aerial holdouts for a time If we go through with our plan to use planes." Presi dent Hickey said, "but I don't think wo will be troubled very long. When tho Columbus team flew last summer, two of the players refused. "They were sent on by train but flew the next time with the rest of the boys and liked it. Of course, we can't compel any -player to fly. All we can do in such cases is to do like we did at Columbus let them take a train." .-- . ,n American association club owners, at a special meeting yesterday, adopt ed a 168 -game schedule to open on the eastern front April 12 and close Sept. 25.

THURNBLAD IS STILL THREAT ' IN CUE MATCH I' CHICAGO, Jan. 21 (VP) The fancy cue of Chicago's own Arthur Thurh blad Is still a threat to the chal lengers of his three-cushion bll Haiti title. , . v " In a thrilling struggle last night he defeated Len Kenney, the northern champion, to enter a three-cornered tie for the lead in the 1932 cham pionships. Johnny Lay ton. of Sedalia, Mo., ten times a three-cushion king, and Frank S. Scovllle. of Buffalo, the eastern champion, shared the top rung with him. claiming two victories and no defeats. Jake Schaefer. of San Francisco, the world's 185 balkllne ruler, will stage his second appearance in the tournament tonight, engaging Kenny. Otto Reiselt, of Philadelphia, a for mer tltllst. and Bud Westhus. of St. Louis, southern champion, will open the evening matches. Thurnblad's victory last night was hard earned and the score was 50 to 41 In 47 Innings. In an earlier con test Scovtlle surprised even his own followers by turning back the vet eran Ous Copulos, of Eugene, Ore., 50 to 34 In 48 Innings. Bozeman succumbed to Laytoo. 60 to 41. after the coast star staged a spectacular uphill battle. Allen Hall, rated the tournament favorite at the start, stepped into the win column by defeating Westhus, 50 to 29, in 51 Innings. TIGERS INVADE BULLDOG COURT FRIDAY EVENING (Continued Prom Page One) HOSS AND MEIER IN EXCHANGE DUE TO "CELL ESCAPE" (Continued from Page One) regarded as having an even chance with the Baker lads. That Is enough incentive, ordinarily, to pep up an ; Invading team to Inspired heights. ! but there axe two other things that I enter Into the keen feeling of rlvaliy ithat exists this year. First, Baker and La Grande fought to a scoreless tie during the football season, and that score is to be settled; and sec ' ond. there's that always present i traditional halo that settles around i Baker-La Grande Hlsh school con I tests, whether they be on the grid- iron, the maple court or the cinder t path. I Pope Points Both Warn I On record and the fact that they are playing at home, the Baker team ; would seem to have an advantage. So far. the Bulldoes are undefeated. I with victories over North Powder, j Pendleton and Mi Hon -Firewater. But there the edge ends in fact. 1 It turns the other way". While Baker j has played but three games. La i Grande has played ten winning nine ! of them. And the Tig$rs defeated I North Powder much more decisively Ithan did the Baker quintet! i j Both teams expect to go onto the j floor with full strength, j Joseph Here Saturday Saturday night La Grande will plar at home, meeting thf strong Joseph team that held the Tigers to a 20-19 score at Joseph last weekend. brothers agreed to remedy It and are now at work on the equipment neces sary to do this, all of which will be done before payment is authorized. "I deplore the underhand method pursued to discredit the action of a majority of the board of control who approved the Installation of the cell doors, subject to the correction of the defect referred to above, and regret any action which might create In the minds of the public the mis taken impression that the cell doors are not safe. The doors meet with the approval of the superintendent of the penitentiary, and I believe now,, as I have heretofore, that the state has secured a satisfactory piece of work from an Oregon firm at a reasonable figure. The price of the Oregon firm was $1 1 ,000 less than that of the nearest out-of-state competitor." Hoss rrom Fortland replied: "The facts of the case are that the three members of the board of control Visited the prison to inspect the new cell fronts last Wednesday. They started the Inspection of tbe 160 cells at about 3:45 p. m. and were through at 4:15. This entire time was spent looking at one cell, and having a demonstration of how the individual cells can be independently operated, one of the moot points in the con tract. "As it was getting late and the Inspection was not finished, I asked the governor and Mr. Holman if they would come out again and witness a demonstration of sawing the so-called 'tool-proof bars and an escape from the cells. They agreed to go out on the afternoon of the following Tues day, and I consequently arranged through Warden Lewis to have the chief engineer take charge of the demonstration. I had personally seen the cells escaped from the bars saw ed, and knew the facts. "However,- without notice, a meet ing of the board was called for 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, and by voto of the governor and treasurer tho installation was accepted. I voted no, but made no formal state ments. That afternoon 1 was asked by Salem newspapermen if I could prove what I had said about the cells, and several of us arranged with the warden to be there at 11 o'clock. Piece of Iron I'sed "An ordinary piece of sheet iron. about two Inches wide and a foot long, was sufficient to manipulate the lock from the Inside by two in mates. They were not necessarily men with lock-picking records, as a ten-year-old boy could have done the same thing. "No attempt to saw the tool-proof bars was made, but the contractor's representative did not deny that they could be sawed when I asked him the question at the Tuesday board meet ing. "I am on record, and have been since Oct. 19. as objecting to the workmanship and efficiency of the Installation. The majority of the board voted to accept the job, and I have nothing more to say."
