THE LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER, LA GRANDE, OREGON Thursday, June 28, 1945 Page Two Move to Build Up Sheep Flocks Is Sought By OPA WASHINGTON, June 2!) (UP) The government is considering a new subsidy to lamb producers, not to bring lambs to market but tho keep them off, it was learned today. This may seem strange in days of meat shortages but the pro ducers say they can't meet costs at present ceiling prices. As a result they are selling off flocks at, record rates and jeopardizing' the future lamb supply. Consumers might suffer a tem porary new cut in their meat sup ply if the subsidy wore approved. But officials say they would pro fit in the long run. With flocks built up again, more lambs would be produced for market next year and the year after. .The proposed subsidy would be paid to producers for all lambs marketed now or over a staled period of a year or so. Officials have not yet agreed on Ihe amount but $1 per lut) pounds was one figure suggested. The theory is that if producers, through th? subsidy, were assured af good. prices for a substantial period, they would not rush their flocks to jnarket but would bo more in1 clined to hold some of them back. .Backers of the plan argue that if .ji'educers arc assured higher prices they cap ufford to hold back breeding stock to rr.'.jild herds. Opponents contend that the higher prices would encourage even greater sales, rroaucen probably would rather take pres ent market prices than gamble on the future when demands to:" meat may drop, they say. They also maintain that lack of exper ienced sheep herders is the real cause of flock liquidation, not low prices. The matter is now before eco nomic stabilization director Wil liam H. Davis. The plan was de veloped by the office of price administration and (he war food administration. Germans Reveal Hitler Threat of War on Turkey SOSENHEIM, Germany, June 29 (UP) Germany delivered a secret ultimatum to Turkey early ini 1041, threatening war if the Turks interfered with the nazi pecupution of Dulgaria, it can be revealed today. 'Proof that the ultimatum was handed to the Turks just before the German march into Bulgaria In, March, 1041, has been obtained by this correspondent from ah authentic German source. ; It points up vividly tho double edged power diplomacy used by the nuzis when their armies were overrunning Europe and neutral states lived in continual fear of attack. -The United Press informant disclosed that Hitler, when he rent his troops into Bulgaria on Murch 2 with King Boris' pur mission was fully prepared to wur on turkey if the Turks made a hostile move. . But Hitler operated deviously. He himself wrote honeyed letters to Turkish government leaders and held out glowing promises of post-war Gorman favors if they would remain neutral or throw in with him. At the same time, his foreign minister, Joachim von Ribbrn trop, rushed secret orders to Am bussador Franz von Papen in An kara telling him Unit the occupa tion of Bulgaria was imminent and that the Turks were to be silenced at all costs. Ribbentrop Hoard Of Gold Found LONDON, June 2!l (UP) A London News-Chronicle dispatch from Salzberg, Germany, said to day that the American ihlrd divi sion has found five tons of gold worth $28.5011,0011 that has biv-n hidden on orders of former Ger man foreign minister Joachim von Ribhentrop. The cache was discovered be neath the home of u former bur gomeister and an adjoining house at Bad Gastrin, the dispatch said. It included gold bars and Biitish, American and Italian coins. Ribbentrop was captured by British troops in Hamburg several weeks ago.

Allied propaganda, includes col orful surrender passes dropped behind the Jap lines. ' Leaflets are used to convince Nipponese troops that prisoners of war are given good treatment. Some leaf lets are directed, to factory work- ers, urging them to stay away from plants that are sure to be targets of allied bombings. Japs are urged to resist their leaders, whose folly has led them into a hopeless war. Allied lit erature also is used to lessen the confidence of Jap soldiers in their commanders. Other docu ments encourage underground resistance in lands occupied by 1 mui .-a;n t tt:n':; i , mi .!!- n ft : t iS 'f ft I fl -y M jhiU'i-m:' MM km w I Kk. : Ma oik: WK i tl W t ' hnitn:w.:ir:jftt' L fi -j-rl 5 i ft : 1 tfi H6 MtH(, t b : ill il b H Knlft i t : liftrl i n h V llt tft -a a fc iv.iBi ft m; n t k. iir-i' ft 9r.n:ii not ; t mo 4 t Ate the Japs.
