The unemployment total of 4,684,000 was the largest since August, 1941. ' But in reporting this today, the commerce department noted that 56,953,000 had regular jobs in ..February, including those not actually laboring because of strikes. Secretary of Commerce Sawyer attributed a 204,000 increase in the jobless list since January principally to a seasonal increase in the total labor force, rather than any cutbacks in employ ment , Morse Condemns Attack on Potato Price Support U. S. Sen. Wayne Morse has condemned recent congressional kattack on price support for potato growers as "piecemeal farm leg islation, he telegraphed the Ore gon Farm federation here Monday. "This type of farm legislation," Senator Morse said, "would in crease our problems rather than solve them. The farm , bureau requested withdrawal of the potato measure on grounds of discrimination against potato growers who have a good record of cooperation with the farm program. Unempl A.

Salem Guardsmen To Attend Special California School Three Salem national guards men were authorized Monday by MaJ. Gen. Thomas E. Rilea, state adjutant general, to attend army amphibious intelligence school at Coronado, Calif. They are 2nd Lts. Harvey L. Latham, Jerry S. Anderson and Paul RBenage. Rilea announced the appoint ment of Sgt John P. Quinn of Albany as second lieutenant . Oregon Fruit, Nut Markets To Imp rove - Oregon and fruit men may have to do a bit .of telling the world about their product, but with that Oregon's fruit .and nut crops are expected to find somewhat better market conditions, in 1950 than existed in 1949, market viewers of the United .States Department of Agriculture Indicated Monday. What happen to the national income will have much effect on prices, but prospects beyond 1950 are more favorable tor fruits than or nut crops because nut pro duction will increase faster, L. R. Breithaupt market economist, ex tension division at the state col lege, stated. Production to Drop Large crops in Oregon and the nation sent prices tumbling in 1949 but production in 1950 is likely to be smaller. Carryover of canned and frozen fruits at the start of the processing season' is also expected to be less than last spring. Fruit production in this country has almost doubled in the last 30 years but the bearing acreage de clined, a little. A sharp decline in apple and prune acreage is now being reflected in smaller crops. Further increases in national pro duction of pears, peaches, cherries, oranges and all kinds of tree nuts are expected. ' - Indications at mee tines during the past week were that straw berry market prospects were con sidered favorable but production may soon be back to prewar level. The strawberry mee tine held at Salem Friday drew the largest number of producers 1st any one crop meeting in several Months: Above Average Except for gooseberries, nro- duction of other small fruits: is up to or above the prewar average. une encouraging fact now Is that the second most imnortant fruit and vegetable market in this country is located on the Pacific Coast, eliminating much of the high shipping costs to the eastern markets. Los Angeles earned this position in 1949 when more than 98,000 cars of fresh fruit and vegetables were unloaded in that city. New York still leads with more than 200.000 cars, so Los Angeles will not promptly capture first place. Her margin over Chi cago last year was a comfortable 10,000 cars. Onions, potatoes. sweet corn, cabbage, caneberries. peaches and pears were included among the arrivals from Oregon. ) . i ' Slot Machine Raids Result In $25 Fines ENTERPRISE.

(AP WlrepbeU te The Statesman). f 'Monster9 Just Dilapidated Piece of Whale NEWPORT. March 6- (V No wonder Tubby, the toothless sea monster, had no teeth. Tne marine wnat-is-it tnat floated ashore at Delake, Ore- Saturday was no sea monster, a biologist said today. It was Just a dilapidated part of a whale. Tubby, so-named because or mi rotund, 1500-pound appearance, underwent serious testing by Rdg er Tollefson, state fish commis sion biologist. Tollefson cut a hunk off the body, which appeared to have four tails, a mouth and no teeth. He put the chunk through laboratory tests here and reported: It was the blubbery flesh of a vertebrate. It did not have the variations in structure that would exist in a complete organism. Therefore, it was part of an ani mal, most probably a whale. He got backing from R. E. Dim ick, Oregon State college professor Of fish and game management, who said Tubby didn't have the structural characteristics of a complete animal. The so-called mouth, they said, probably was just a tear in the flesh. The hair and feathers that were reported covering Tubby's body were nothing more than . decom posed blubber, seaweed and gull feathers that became embedded as the object was rolled ashore by the waves, Tollefson concluded.

Some of the cars which have been making "ca too'' claims didn't even come close. ' v If you've been reading the Victory statement made by various automobile manufacturer daimfnj t3 have vfon the Grand Canypn Economy Run, you'n probably pretty well confused. And we can't blame you a bit. Everybody's trying to 3 into the act. Mercury's act. . It's true some other cars did take certain "doss' prizes. But the grand prize ... and the Sweepstakes Trophy . . went to Mercury and to Mercury alone. On a pound-for-pound basis the basisjipoa which the Amerfes3 Automobile Association judged this famous economy test Mercury outperformed every other car entered. That's right, every Other stock model car entered regardless of price, size or horse power. " Mercury's actual mileage figure was a big, juicy 2d.52 miles per gallon! And that over the world's toughest 751 mB course at an average speed of more than 41 miles per hdux. And how did a car the size of the big new Mercury do it? Mercury's gas-saving Touch-O-Matic overdrive helped and so did careful driving. But letfs not overlook the main fact. The 1950 Mercury wort because it was built to be thrifty. We've been bragging to folks around hereabout the amazing efficiency of -Mercury's wHi-power compression' and new wEcon-o-misey, carburetioo and it sure looks like we weren't kidding. But don't just take our word for it. Come in and drive th new Mercury yourself. See what it's like to set your hands on a real Grand Prize winner. And don't put off that pleasure until "tomorrow."
