MADSEN Farm Editor, The Statesman Eggs were showing a decided upward swing as the holiday mar ket was making a heavy draw on that product, U. S. Department of Agriculture reports showed Thursday. Egg markets throughout the week were reported as "very firm. A demand has been excellent and supplies have not been too large in many markets. Production is reported to be dropping off rather sharp ly with recfpts at primary markets I 1 i Flashing Light T7 Hie on the West Coast dropping con siderable below those of a year ego. In Oregon most all grades ad vanced from 3 to 4 cents a dozen. At Seattle, jobbing prices gained around 4 to as much j as 6 cents a dozen for the various grades. At San Francisco, wholesale egg pric es this week gained arc jnd 5 to 6 cents a dozen on mediuri and large eggs with small eggs going up 8 cents. Storage Down 56 Per Cent While cold storage holdings of shell eggs, nationally, continue above a year ago, on the West Coast storage holdings are below a year ago. Nationally, the reserve kuddIv of shell eggs on Dec. 1 Search Halted VANCOUVER, B. C. UFl An air-ground search for a mysterious flashing light reported sighted on Mayor Mountain on Vancouver Is land was abandoned Thursday. The light, flashing SOS distress signals, aws reported Wednesday night by Capt. Robert MacKenzie of Pan American Airways, flying south from Alaska. He reported seeing the light at the 4.500-foot l'vel near jladysmith, 40 miles north of Victoria. No one was reported missing in the dis- were about 25 per cent higher j and ali planes were accounted than a year ago. On the West Coast stocks of shell eggs in stor age at the beginning of this month were about 56 per cent less than a year ago. A check with Portland showed that shell eggs in storage on Thursday were a little over 3, 800 cases, as compared to more than 13,000 cases last December at the same time. In the turkey field, the consum er Is catching up a little with the froducer. While as a whole there sn't a shortage of turkeys, the supply of young turkey hens was short at some Western markets this week. At most coast markets, prices to growers for young turkey hens, advanced around 3 cents. Young turkey toms, heavy type, held about unchanged this past week on West Coast markets. If you are interested in what your Eastern cousins are doing about turkey for Christmas, re ports showed that toms as well as turkey hens strengthened consid erably In price during the week, and prices were not falling. Price Down This Tear But here on the coast, as well as elsewhere, young turkey hens are about. 7 cents a pound less to the consumer than they were a year ago, and young turkey toms are about 4 cents down from the 1951 Christmas season. Nationally, cold storage holdings of turkeys at the beginning of this month were reported to be a rec ord high for the season. The total holdings were around 156.5 million pounds, or 43 per cent above last year. On the West Coast, turkey holdings were 53 per cent higher than a year ago.

Asks for Advice on U. N. Subversives UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. OR Secretary General Trygve Lie asked the United Nations General Assembly Thursday for advice on what to do with employes charged by the United States wifl sub version. Russia immediately la beled the move "rather bizarre." A panel of three international jurists has already advised Lie to fire disloyal Americans and also get rid of non - American U. I. employes who have been engaged in subversion or spying against the United States. This advice, however, has not gone down well with some coun tries; these feel it gives special privileges to the U. S. The U. N. Steering Committee, which decides whether or not to recommend discussion of a par ticular item, agreed with Lie that the problem was an urgent one and deserved thorough airing. It voted 12 to 2 to take it up when the Assembly reconvenes a date it set for Feb. 24 at the latest. The Assembly will recess next Tuesday over Christmas and until well past the inauguration of Pres ident - elect Eisenhower, who Is expected to send an almost en tirely new delegation here. Russia's Valerian Zorin said the Soviet Union failed to see Lie's question could be "usefully dis cussed." The Russian said he thought it was "inappropriate to include such a confused question on the agenda" without further documentation on the necessity for it. Zorin's opposition took delegates by surprise since only Monday an other Soviet delegate, G. N. Zaru bin, had insisted that the question was pressing and should be taken up without delay. What caused the Kremlin to change its mind was not apparent. It became a little clearer when Zorin told the full Assembly later that the "so - called report of the so - called jurists" was "not suf ficiently important" to warrant ac tion on its own. Although Lie's whole personnel policy required reconsideration, he said, it would be "too hasty and therefore unjustified" to do it now. Poland's Henryk Birecki blasted Lie for "subordinating U. N. per sonnel policy to the requirements of the U. S. government." He said it "should be condemned" but that his delegation would not be stam peded since it needed more time to get ready for such a serious debate. The Assembly overrode the So viet Bloc objections and accepted the advice of its Steering Com mittee to take up the question. The vote was 49 to 5 with two abstentions. Lie asked the Assembly to act after he learned that If he did not, India would. India is one of the countries which feel that, although the U. S. is the host country to U. N. head quarters, it has no special rights over personnel policy. Mrs. Frank Test was hostess to members of the United Commer cial Travelers Auxiliary Wednes day afternoon. A salad luncheon was served followed by a gift ex change. Covers were placed for eleven. I IT V. .... '' LOVE II Wf or mu return it!
