May (D Ky) promoted a Kentucky timber land deaf In 1843 on representa tions thai he had the proper con tacts for war contracts and that "we'd both draw big salaries." The testimony, before the Mead war Investigating committee, came near tha close of a day which saw May, chairman of the house military committee, complain bit terly thatj he was the .victim of a "conspiracy of falsehood and malice.' :-. -1 May told the house that "truth crushed to earth win rise again," and denied that he profited in any way from the operations of an Illinois munitions combine now under investigation before the Mead group. - Today Fields Identified a letter Rain Sets Record For July Cherry Pack Up Over 1945, But Loss Still Heavy Rain which kept cherry pickers out of still-laden hill orchards of the mid-Willamette valley Mon day and threatened the large rem nants of the huge crop was the heaviest July downpour recorded during the 22 years the U.S. weather bureau has operated a station here. The .69 of an inch precipitation would set a record for tha entire month of , July, which has seen no such rainfall since July, 1922, when a series of scattered show ers totaled .92 of an inch. Normal for the month is .39 of an inch. Laber Conditions Vary Today's weather may (ell the tale of the oft-threatened banner cherry crop. Some already has been split by rains, and the- bat tle against the cherry fruit fly waged with comparative success has been fought against difficul ties because the rain has continu ously washed off the spray. Farm labor offices estimate there are sufficient pickers, but varying' reports are current con cerning need for cannery work ers or cannery supplies. Lack of proper personnel or of the mate rials needed for processing have slowed the pack, it was general ly admitted, but more than twice that put up last year Is going: Into cans, glass, barrels and freezers.

By the Associated Press Two western states, Utah and Washington, choose their nom inees for state and congressional offices today.

Mitchell in the primary election tomorrow. to him from Mar, dated Oct 25, 1943, which represented the con gressman as putting up money for the timber land deal and being "in position -to lose more than any body,' if It should fail. May, Fields said, was to get backing from "certain financial Interests' in Washington for the proposition, Sena ton Ferguson (R-Mich) told reporters after the close of today's session that there may be a con stitutional bar against summoning May before the senate committee for questioning. He called attention to article 1, section 6 of the constitution, deal ing with congressional immunities.

Hans Hofstetter, owner of Curly's Dairy, could not be reach ed for comment late last night but there have been indications that aU producers and distribu tors in the area would take part in the increase to offset the abo lition of subsidies. Meat Prices Rlslng- The Associated Press said meat prices generally in western Ore gon and southwestern Washing ton were starting to reflect new high prices bid by slaughterers at the North Portland Livestock market. Restaurants in Portland hiked prices generally Monday and dis trlct OPA (erstwhile) officials said they had new reports of rent increases and skyrocketing prices for used automobiles.

Klein, OPA auto price spe cialist in Portland said a 1938 Oldsmobile coupe, OPA ceiling 8659, was, offered for $900. Newer models were ' as much as $500 above ceiling, but he had no con firmation of sales at the new fig ures. H. P. Maddlson, OPA meat price agent, said "Wholesale priest have been boosted several cents higher than necessary in order to offset loss of subsidies. Few re tailers still show price tags, or Indicate grades, and some charge top prices for the lowest grades." Steers at Record Bid k Hint of higher prices Iter meat in the Portland area was evident in bid prices at North Portland Livestock Exchange Monday. Bids for grass fed steers rose t $18.73, highest on record while salable supplies were generally scarce and bidding stayed at last week's levels or edged upward. Receipts of steers, sheep -and hogs were substantially higher than a week, the first day of mar ket after death of OPA controls, but the total waa far short of the same week a year ago when the market was under OPA regula tion.

Webb sharply rebuked an American de fense attorney, Lt. Col. George Furness, for "impertinence" when Furness questioned him, further on the point. A great part of defense cross examination has been directed to show "peace and tranquility" re sulted after the Japanese took over north China, Webb said, adding: "Such testimony might result in mitigating sentences of the "accus ed from hanging to shooting, shooting to life."
