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

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.
Limited sales of onions are report
ed at Willamette valley points. Busi
ness in carload lots continues $3.50

A. A. 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

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.

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."
