Fund Awaited
To Determine
Guard1 Status
PORTLAND, July 20 -()- If
congress! provides money, Oregon's
national guard will be put quickly
on war footing. -
Maj. Gen. Thomas . E. Rilea,
state adjutant general, said he was
advised that the guard will be au
thorized to increase personnel and
training activities at once if Pres-
dent Truman's military budget is
passed by congress.
Officer personnel then would be
brought to full wartime' strength
and enlisted personnel to 50 per
cent.
instead of once, and likely would
uok. imiuiM uu.uk.iii :ear iiie
unit's home stations, as they did
in 1939.1 Regular summer man
euvers already have been held at
Fort Lews 'and at Camp Clatsop.
The adjutant general said he was
given no information on plans for
calling on the guard. The present
situation is that the guard will be
prepared! for quick mobilization in
case of need, he said.

Wheat Up on
Chicago Mart;
Ceiling' Eyed
CHICAGO, July 29-(P)-De-mand
for wheat could not be call
ed urgent today, but it neverthe
less sufficed to send all contracts
into new seasonal high ground.
Firmness in the bread cereal
helped most of the rest of the
market to overcome early hesi
tancy. But that did not apply , to
July soybeans. They were offer
ed down 10 cents, the daily limit,
right at the start and never man
aged to climb off this bottom.
Wheat closed 1-1 higher,
corn lower 'to higher, oats
higher, rye y lower to
higher, soybeans unchanged to
10 cents lower and lard 15 to 30
cents a hundred pounds higher.
Much comment was heard
about one item in President Tru
man's message to congress the
request to sell the government
stocks of farm products at cur
rent price support levels, provided
these are not below the market
level.
Some grain men felt this put
an "absolute ceiling" . on grains
at around ' $2.31 a bushel on
wheat, $1.62 on corn and 77 cents
on oats, which are the estimated
Chicago! prices in the support
program. Only corn is selling well
under these suppprt prides.
Stallion Fights1
Off Assault
From Cougar
ALBANY. Ore., July 20 -UP)- A
Palomino stallion that fought off
a cougar's attack on his mart and
her colt was being treated today.
Nobody saw the fight, but resi
dents of the Parrish Gap area inH
Marion county said thert was
little doubt that was how the horse
was badly clawed, and both, the
mare and the colt were scratched.
Mrs. Dale Harnisch, owner of
the horses, said she found the
mare and the colt bleeding pro
fusely yesterday. There was evi-
dence of the cougar attack.
Harnisch and Dale Pirest, as
sistant Linn county agent, put a
hound on the trail, but could not
find the big cat. Evidence indica
ted it either was an old one, or
that it had been wounded.
