An executive order, said by White House spokesmen to be "in the final drafting stage," awaits Securi lyOoak GvilA , the signature of President Tru man. The proposed order has been , shown In confidence to a small group of editors who, officials con cede, didnt like it They have not condemned it publicly, however. There la virtually no question, . Informed persons said today, but that Mr. Truman will Issue the order within days or weeks. It 4s aimed particularly at the non-defense agencies and ia sup ported by pressure from the Pen tagon as a safeguard on informa tion concerning mobilization ac tivity in which the military and - eiviUaa ; agencies must cooperate closely, i -. The contents still are an official secret. These elements are known. however: - 1. It will instruct every depart ment and agency to "classify" as . secret, confidential or otherwise restricted information vital to , the national security. Tjalf orra ' Safeguards 1. It will tnell out uniform safe- tuards for the handling of classi rified matterspecifying which pa spers should be locked in safes, -. which may not be discussed by telephone, etc. , S. It will make It "painfully clear, according to a governmen source, that such hushed informa ti on must truly involve national i. security meaning, that the order - must not be used to suppress news which it might be more convenient to withhold. 4. But it will not attempt to de fine what Information should be classified, and will leave it to each of the . 60-odd "department and agency heads, and their desig nated subordinates, to use their own Judgment. . . Net Feelproef . .- Such discretionary powers al ways have been a target of op- ' position from newspapermen. In this case an official familiar with the pending order acknowledges that ."it isn't-foolproof, by a damn eightS By this he meant that it is "subject to abuse or over-use possibly to hide blunders or er ; rors,' perhaps to save administra tors from being bothered by re porters and information -seekers, ; perhaps through a well-intention Sd desire to play It safe. On the other hand, government men believe, only a handful of ' the civilian agencies may set up ! security- systems. They will not : be- -obliged to do so unless they feel there, ia need. : ? Outwardly at least, few if any ; agencies seem to be lax in hedg-i- ing their operations with precau : ! tion. It ia a frequent tendency of civilian officialsas some will ad mit to resolve any doubts about " security by just reaching for the rubber stamps marked "secret." ? .

Other top-top-secret papers are marked eyes only", which means, for the eyes, of the addressee alone. ; The White House is aware that ed iters generally oppose the whole - Idea of the order. It hopes, how ever, that operations under, the 'tystem can be kept so clean and xree irom aDuse tnat , newspaper men win learn to live with it. 7 .a : FALL JT2T . ff : n : SiPT.12-0a.13 txctn sun. a uoh .

McMahon, who heads the sen ate-house atomic energy commit tee, told the senate last week the U. S. should scale; down the pro duction of small arms and equip its forces with atomic weapons. He said the cost of an A-bomb could be brought down to less than that of a tank by mass production methods.- i j I i .if..: Ferguson also asked why the military had not advised. congress of the developments If it was true, as McMahon said, that : "atomic bottlenecks: are being! broken."

He ex plains that by "peak" he means a place where the supply will meet the demand.1 If at that time world conditions do j not accentuate prices, there will probably be a downward trend in the price of beef. . i - i On the other hand, at the pres ent time the supply of milk cows is generally going down with 20 per cent less cows thani we had in 1943, Thomas points ;out. At today's prices 100 pounds of milk ia equal to 19 pounds .of live beef. While beef prices are favorable now, they are not quite so favor able aa it looks from the outside. according to Mr. Thomas. Factors which must be taken into consid eration are the; high cost of buy ing cattle for breeding stock and the feeder situation, which is at a relative high position in relation to the present ceilings on beef cat tle. Feeders have been selling at 33 Vi to 37 cents a pound and the selling price on slaughter beef is between these two figures. Feeder Cattle ! Feeder cattle, Mr. Thomas ex plains are those bought at stock yards or other markets with the purpose of "feeding out" to mar ket fitness. Usually feeder cattle are those which have been run ning on common pasture land and not yet fed foe market. Te come out on the pleasant side of the economic picture with feeder cat tle, one must! either have some very cheap feed on hand or guess IkeepRising - y .... j . w (7 - I shoUder room room for ftree big people le I Cf If I Is eoerfort And iWs Ao-ort S3de Co- lW Ml ' .S lrrA fro! odMs rMe to rood eondTHoil V"W' BI55EST In Lwosga Ford's spodovs "Deep Dek"jUsgage locker over 24 cubic feet of storaoe spoos bgest by far la m low-price eM. that the selling price fj going to be; raised. Mr. Thomas pointed.'- out that there axe now about .14 per cent fewer meat animals per thousand people than there were 10 years age and 18 per cent fewer than 20 years ago. Sheep as yet have not Increased very materially and it would ap pear that there stm is a place tor few more sheep, especially on Willamette valley farms. Mr. Thomas reports. While the price oi j wool fluctuated considerably during! the past year. even, the present price would' help to in crease the profits of sheep over a few years ago. The price of lamb is in a much better position than a year ago and there would be no reason for It to change in relation to the price of other meat as long numbers are low. Mr. Thomas believes. , Stiff Competition The pork situation Is somewhat different, Mr. Thomas points out. Pork produced in this area must compete with the cheap feed in the midwest. A large portion of the pork consumed in Oregon is shipped in from the midwest. However, there is still consider able place tor pork raising in this area,- he added, particularly if Jt is produced3oh pastures. A new thought in swine feeding. Mr. Thomas points out is to pre vent them from rooting in the soil. Moist ; pastures should also be avoided. Pigs- develop lungworms from eating earthworms, he ex plains. : Rotating the pasture areas frequently help in the control of this. Control of mis problem should be considered seriously by Willamette valley farmers, In the opinion of Mr. Thomas. ' . PRODUCTION CTJT DUE SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 22-UPh The head of the nation's -defense production effort today said pro duction of civilian goods, includ ing automobiles will be cut at least 10 per cent in the first three months next year. Mexico City is sinking into the ancient lake bed on which it was built and sanitary engineers have warned that the flow of its sewer system will be reversed if It con tinues to sink.
