Testifying before United States
department of agriculture offi
cials in a public hearing on a pro
posed new federal hop marketing
agreement at the Marion hotel
Monday, C. W. Paulus, managing
agent of the state hop control
board, declared that over 99 per
cent of the hops grown in Oregon
are sold by the growers for ship
ment ovtside the state.
"Only a very small quantity of
hops grown in Oregon is used in
Oregon for the manufacture of
malt beverage, or for any other
purpose, said Paulus.
The hearing, is providing hop
growers, dealers' and brewers'
representatives an opportunity to
consider provisions of a proposed
new federal hop marketing agree
ment program covering the states
of Washington, Oregon, California
and Idaho.
Forecasting a production cost
f more than 32 cents per pound
to hop growers In 1942, G. W.
Kuhlnwn, Oregon State college
economist, stated a recent survey
conducted by the university ex
periment station Indicated
$135.42 per acre as the cost of
labor used in producing hops
during 1941. The survey, cov
ering 93 Oregon hop growers,
showed the total per acre cost
f production figure to be
$215.45 with an average yield of
840 pounds, Kuhlman said.
G. R. Hoerner, department of
agriculture plant pathologist sta
tioned at Corvallis, told of expert
mental work being carried on to
develop new hop varieties that
would be resistant to mildew and
other hop diseases.
Following conclusion of testi
xnony taking in Salem tonight, the
hearing will adjourn and be re
sumed next Friday at Santa Rosa,
Calif.
Many Picker
Calls Canceled
Little prospect of waste in the
mid-valley strawberry crop was
seen Monday at the federal em
ployment office in Salem where
calls to cancel orders for pickers
exceeded requests for help from
growers in the immediate city
area.
First day of the first full week
of picking found plenty of pick
ers available for berry fields
within bicycling distance of Salem
and for- those where transporta
tion was provided, according to
W. H. Baillie, manager of the Sa
lem office of the employment
service.
Paying 2Vi cents per pound
with a xk cent bonus to workers
remaining throughout the season,
growers could expect to secure a
good grade of help, it was de
clared. Engineers Assigned
To Field by Army
PORTLAND, June 1 -P- Col.
Donald J. Leehey, US district
engineer, announced Monday the
following field assignments:

"We hope eventually to offer

Cochran said.
As well as for bus service, the

ing number of calls for various
forms of housing, particularly for
families and groups of individual

spite innumerable rumors of his
early retirement probably usual

But Germany is taxing no
chances. One of our repatriates on
the Drottiningholm who came
from Greece reported that Ger-?

the Greek islands in the Ionian
sea building barges with which to
effect landings in the Dardanelles
Some 4000 German workers, he
estimated, were engaged in this
construction project, besides all
necessary native Greek help.
The port of Piraeus, he also
reported, was teeming with ac
tivity again, and all sorts of
construction was under way.
When I visited It a year ago,
following In the wake of the
conquering German armies, it
was a scene or death and de

the nazis have dropped over
Greece is thick and impervious.
It is therefore hard to verify this
repatriate's story.
It seems decidedly to make
sense, however.

Salary of one assistant, the
sum of $1000 (from an original
estimate of $1250) for books, the
entire allocation for vacation help

Cuts In street cleaning de

truck and sweeper expense.
The $1000 previously approved
by the budget committee for work
on the South River road was de

the county has allocated nothing
for its share in the work and the
suggestion that it might be made

Because it was understood the
junior band is disbanding, that
entire item was stricken out.
A $460 reduction in the city's

move and was to cover all items.

Sterilization
Act Unlawful,
Court Holds
WASHINGTON, June 1 JP)
Declaring that important ques
tions of human rights were in
volved, the supreme court held
unconstitutional Monday an Ok
lahoma law for the sterilization of
certain habitual criminals.
The court struck down the sta
tute because it singled out only
certain types of criminals. Such
"clear, pointed, unmistakable dis
crimination" was called as "in
vidious ... as if it had selected
a particular race or nationality
for oppressive treatment."
The act provides for the steri
lization of men or women thrice
convicted of felonies but specifi
cally excepts "offences arising out
of the violation of the prohibitory
laws, revenue acts, embezzlement,
or political offenses."
In another decision the court
held, 8 to 1, that the wage-hour
law, with its minimum pay and
maximum hour requirements, ap
plies to elevator operators, por
ters and other service and main
tenance employes of buildings
which house companies engaged
in interstate commerce. Justice
Roberts dissented, saying that
"the power of congress does not
reach the purely local activities
in question."
In a 5 to 3 decision, the court
held that the Columbia Broad
casting system and the National
Broadcasting company were en
titled to judicial reviews of the
federal communication commis
sion s proposed regulations of
chain broadcasting.

12,000 tons were sunk by British
submarines in the Mediterranean

Highlighting the grave allied
bottleneck of shipping, Germany
announced that 170 ships of 924.
400 tons were sunk in May and
that 66 others were damaged. All
German maritime claims are ex
aggerated, but there was no doubt
that grave shipping losses had
been inflicted the greater . part
of them in Umted States waters.
Without the ships to carry the
men, tanks and planes, the allies
could not mount an effective of
f ensive in Europe or the Pacific.

said if estimates he had made
based on government price rec
ords proved correct, 100 per cent
parity for strawberries would be
reached at a price between 7V
and 8 V cents a pound.
Their resolution asked the sec
retary of agriculture "to correct
the depressing actions of OPA by
requiring a compliance with sec
tion 3 of the emergency price con
trol act of 1942, to th. effect that
growers receive 110 per cent of
the parity price for berries pro
duced by them."
While only strawberry prices
were considered at the meeting,
George Tate, chairman, of Subli
mity, said it was felt that any
remedial action obtained would
reflect on cane berry crops and
other fruit.
Growers complained that they
had been led by Edmond F.
Maher, regional price adminis
tration representative, to believe
they mirht immediately expect
assurance of a subsidy or some
other means of augmenting the
prices the packers can pay, bat
had since been advisd only that
"there is no information at this
time."
A hat-passing to pay expenses
incurred by the growers' commit
tee raised a $62.50 fund "for ber
