Ward of the Pacific Woolgrowers cooperative went beck to Washington to join other representatives of wool producers to protest against any reduction in the tariff on wool by the de- partment of state in negotiating reciprocal trade agreements. Rob- ert Shinn and Robert M. rerr were in Washington last week in the interest of cherry growers, entering a plea for retaining the present tariff. The hopgrowers' representative appeared for his troup on a similar mission. Roy ard also put in an appeal for protection of domestic filbert growers. These several agricul tural interests are afraid the state department will sell them out in its present trade negotiations with other countries. Since encourage ment of freer world trade is the announced policy of the state de partment and has been since the democrats took over in 1933, there is cause for the alarm of these groups. Some republicans in con gress have tried to stop the state department, but the reciprocal tariff law is effective until mid 1948 and will be employed unless the law should be repealed before that date. This controversy is one of the most important and critical of the present day. because we are in the same position that we were after the last world war: the great reservoir of credit for the world, and at the same time a nation with normally a heavy ex port surplus.

Jan. 27 -Pr-A policy of "no retreat" on promises to cut federal spending and slash Uses was pledged by the house republican leadership today. Clearing the way for the first formal legislative attack on Pres ident Truman's $37,500,000,000 buduet. GOP managers acted swiftly to prevent the portal-to-portiil pay controversy from i thwarting their tax reduction plans. House republican leader Hal- lerk of Indiana told reporters: j "There is no backing down what ever There is no retreat in our j determination to reduce spending and to cut taxes. That goes on labor legislation, too. Reports to ; the contrary are untrue."

Like a Witness The most penetrating discussion took place at the home . of Peter Odegard, president of Reed col 'ege.

The majority favored the war crimes trials a id believed they would serve a good purpose. An impressive minority disagreed. They feared the trials were motivated by vengeance, not justice. All were men of learning and idealism. I think all felt that trials conducted in part at least by neutrals or under the United Nations would have been prefer able to trial by representatives of I the victors alone. There is a good subject for debate. We will come back to it some day. Mild Shell-shock WASHINGTON fen route to Nuernberg) I have survived the first barrage of orders and direct ives result, mild shell-shock. At times I have felt like the 9th and 10th legions in Caesar's Gallic war when they "charged in the up I posite directions with Caesar at l their head." I have already re ceived two different APOs (gov ernmental addresses) and an in teresting variety of Instructions. However, the war department has been most efficient and courteous. They have done everything ex cept send someone along to feed me. The future is full of interest and hard work. Lost in Pentagon WASHINGTON.

Further consideration of plans to increase flax acreage Is ex pected to be one of the most dis cussed items of business. Change of the fiscal year beginning from July 1 to January 1 is the new by-law proposed. Directors whose terms expire this year are Arthur Page, Charles Hart and Walter Shelby. The report said: "Oregon's state-supported insti tutions are in the main over crowded, ill-equipped and under financed. Employes are generally underpaid and incompetent, par tially due to the failure of the leg islature to provide adequate com pensation so that more competent help can be s cured. The children in state institutions, for whom there is greater hope for rehab ilitation, are shamefully neglect ed." Oregon spent $2.30 per capita in 1945 on its state instiutions, placing it 33rd among the states. The committee was critical of nearly all city and county jails, asserting they "suffer from age, poverty and inefficiency.
