Pittsburgh . Trolleys td Mott Today Easing Power CRT SCOjjlS Farmers have used their sur plus income to pay off their mort gage. Between 1940 and 1946 the farm mortgage debt for the coun try at a whole decreased 22,9 per cent; for Oregon and Washington 18 per cent- The peak of farm mortgage debt wu reached in 1923, whn lands were plastered with loans based on the specula tive values of 1919-1920. The de crease has been quile steady since then, accelerated as it was by foreclosures and debt scale downs in ' periods of depression. As of the first of this year the mortgage debt amounted to $5.1 bill. on which is lews than half the peak of $10 8 in 1923. The situation now is the re verse of what II was during the first world war and after, when farm debt was expanded rapidly. Farmers remember the bitter ex perience they had of paying off the indebtedness incurred at that time; and a far larger proportion of recent farm sales have been for cash rather than on partial payment. The bulletin of the 12th district federal reserve bank gives two more reasons for the reverse trend: one, the farmers this war had larger net cash income , to use in debt retirement; and two. they were unable to buy new machinery in quantity as com pared with world war I. It is the federal landbanks which have had the greatest shrinkage in their volume of out standing morgage loans, the de cline the last six years for them being 47 per cent, while other types of lenders show up -as fol lows: life insurance companies 10.2 per cent decrease; insured commercial banks 5 per cent and "others 1.4 per cent.

The president's statement back ed Byrnes' policies and ousted Henry Wallace as secretary of commerce.

Byrnes, in his first format pro nouncement since the original Wallace speech, told a news: eon ference: -The statement of the president that the American foreign policy i whole-heartedly supported by him and that he contemplates no change In that policy is most re assuring.

Russians Join in Approval of Atom Energy Control Report "All right, so you were born in a barn! Close it anyway! LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., Sept. 26 -(fi The United Nations sci entific committee today unani mously approved its 22-page re port on atomic energy controls, with the Russian delegate ap pending his sanction with a statement that the report's con clusions were "hypothetical and conditional." The report had been held up three weeks in committee while the soviet representatives await ed instructions from Moscow. It now goes to the No. 2 :( political) committee of the atomic energy commission which will study the contents and then release it for publication. The United States delegation hailed the unanimous agreement as a step forward in the work of the commission, with a spokes man declaring that this was the first time substantial cooperation had been shown by vote since the work started. Bernard Baruch, U. S. delegate to the commission, expressed gratification Over the unanimous vote and said In a statement: "Now let's get on with the main business of the commission f adopting a formula to prevent and punish the improper use of atomic energy.

The majority of the conclusions j ?in the report are therefore hypothetical and con ditional.! With this reservation I vote for adoption of the report." I Oregon Farming In i Billion Dollar Class WASHINGTON, Sept 28-0P) Farming in Oregon almost reached the billion dollar figure in 1944, with land and buildings valued at $697,775,183 and the year's production at $273,740,483, the census bureau reports on the basis of preliminary compilation of data gathered in the 194S farm census.

Livestock Doubled ' i Livestock and livestock prod ucts accounted for $107,000,000, or more than one-third, of the 1944 output. This was twice the 1939 production in terms of monetary value. Dairy products made up the largest single share of the livestock total. Crops sold brought more than $78,000,000, nearly three time the 1939 figure. I The report showed that 32 per cent of the state's land area was in 83,123 farms having an acre age of 19.734.257. This oompared with 81,829 farms and 17,988,307 acres in 1939.

Nearly 3,000 more farms had telephones in 1944 than in 1939 and 90 per cent had radios. Near Good Roads The report said 75 per cent of the farms wereXvlthin one-fourth of a mile of a power line and 85 per cent were within two-tenths of a mile of an all-weather road It showed that owner-operated farms increased from 42,296 to 47,847 in the five-year period and tenant-operated farms decreased from 11,277 to 8.823. The re mainder were operated by part owners and managers.

The boy tdenmiea near me scene told authorities he did not know names of any of the boys in the hazing party. Indicating he was only watching the proceed ings. Persons Unknown It is impossible at this time to ascertain who was connected with this particular hazing Inci dent," the district attorney con cluded.
