ku Kato, Japanese ambassador-at-large
in China who Is here for the
conference on Tientsin.
I The Japanese foreign office de
nied Sir Robert had threatened

circles, however, interpreted the

talks was Japan's
demand that Britain withdraw
her support of Generalissimo

Yamhill Farms Projects
Held 'Misrepresented'
by 18 Settlers
McMINNVILLE, Aug. 1-yp)-Investigatlon
of farm security ad
ministration practices were asked
last night in a resolution to the
Oregon congressional delegation,-
approved by IS Yamhill county
resettlers.
! They charged the Yamhill farms
project was "misrepresented, mis
managed and imposed exhorbitant
rents."
The resolution and case histor
ies of resettlers will be dispatched
Immediately.
Rents due November 15 were
increased without their knowl
edge, farmers complained. All are
Yamhill county residents of the
105 - unit Yamhill-Polk-Washington
development. Some said the
payments would amount to 3 per
cent of the appraised value.
The FSA recently denied as
sessments were out of line with
costs of non-resettlement farms.
E .C. Apperson, McMinnville
businessman, asserted the admin
istration "wasted" 31.000,000 in
land acquisition and buildings.
Dave Warrell, a well-known Yam
hill county farmer, said it was
"physically impossible" to oper
ate the "poorly planned" farms at
a profit.
One resettler, however, declar
ed it was possible to put the units
in satisfactory production if the
farmers were "not lazy."
