The North American total, In cluding the United States, Canada and Mexico, Is placed at 1,188,000,000 oi about 37,000,000 bushels less than last year. The North American harvest is slightly above that of loot season while the outturn In the Asiatic coun tries Is a little smaller than that ot a year ago. The most Important In- croasos In wheat production this sea son aro In tho Importing countries of Europe. These more than offset the smaller harvests in the countries ot the Lowor Danube. This has rosultea In the largest total European harvest, outside of Russia, during post-war years. Production In tho countries now reported Is placed at 1,610,000,000 bushels or 77,000,000 bushols more than a yoar ago. The largo European crop Is the result of a larger acrcago and also of better than average yields. Coast Markets Pacific coast wheat morkots follow ed fairly closely the fluctuations at eastern points. Marketings in Wash ington and Oregon romalned relatively light with receipts at Pugot Sound and Columbia river terminals totaling 511 cam, compared with 003 cars a year ago.

There was little comment as the complaint was filed Tho other absentee member was E. O. Sammons, now In the east. The board granted, over the pro test of F. E. Calllster, Albany mem ber, a sabbatical leave to Dean Ellis P. Lawrence of tho University School of Architecture. Calllster Insisted that the board had no sound policy ae regards such leavcB and "docs not know from one meeting to another what It Is going to do on this ques tion." . . A few minutes after this discus sion a request of Jacob Jordan,' dis missed associate professor of physics at the State college, was presented In which he asked that ho be given a sabbatical leave for the college year and be paid $1652. Action was dismissed until later. Chancellor Kerr, who was at the table with board members and who took an active part In discussions on various Issues when questioned by board members, said Dr. Jordan was summarily dismissed last April In accordance with the board's sweep ing reorganization. Calllster, after opposing the leave for Dean Lawrence, asked If approvel of the request would mean that Jordan would re turn to the state's employ at the end of the year's leave. Dr. Kerr replied that such was the Implication, even though Dr. Jordan . had been dismissed C. Pease, member from The Dalles, asked If if Dr. Kerr had been chancellor at that ttmo. The chancellor said he would not have been ousted, and he praised Dr. Jordan as being "very competent.
