number' of the Salem Vicinity
Chinchilla breeders are attending
; the Chinchilla Show which opened
. 'late Friday and will continue
through Sunday at the Multnomah
Hotel, Portland. Approximately
250 entries are beinff exhibited.
The show Is being sponsored by
the Oregon branch of the National
Chinchilla Breeders of America. ,
judges for the event are Lester
Sal of Salt Lake City; Jjutner
Helleson of Inglewood, Calif., and
John Donahue of Santa Maria,
Calif. - :
: Judging is done on the basis of
smoothness and beauty of inner and
outer fur. and on color. .
: While breeders figure that around
10 per cent of the litters are lost
each - year. - the animals - nave
grown from a hobby of 11 to 150,-
000 on 5,000 chinchilla ranches in
the United States in a matter of
20 Tears.
Up o the present time, quality
animals have' been considered too
valuable to kill, and have been
used for breeding purposes only.
This year for the first time in this
country, prime quality cnmcftuia
pelts are being sold, R. L. Herrick,
show chairman, reports.
1 Chinchillas, small grey, hopping
animals, the size of a large squir
rel, natively inhabit the eastern
slopes of the Andes in Chile and
Bolivia, at altitudes between 8,000
and 12,000 feet. The fur has long
been prized, even being sought by
the ancient Peruvians. 1
fThe 11 little animals were
brought to the United tSates as a
hobby by a United States mining
engineer, T who- had been bringing
them down from the high altitudes
to sea level over a period of years.
to enable them to become accus
tomed to lower altitudes. Shortly
after he brought in his little flock,
most South- American countries
passed laws, banning exporting of
live animals or their pelts.
Chinchillas, the breeders report,
are among the cheapest animals
to - maintain, being, fed a diet of
specially prepared pellts and hay
at a total cost of approximately
one cent a day per animal.
In the -wild state, the chinchillas
produce five to six young twice a
year. In captivity, they still pro
duce twice a year, but their litters
are much smaller, ranging from 1
to 4. The little ones are born with
teeth, open eyes and fully furred.
Unlike many of the fur-bearing
animals. Chinchillas are unusually
clean, ' have no odor or trace of
vermin. i

By Surprise
By FORREST EDWARDS .
SEOUL UP) Bold F-S4 Thunder-
Jets caught the Communists by
surprise Saturday by ranging up
to the Manchurian border in North-
Central Korea, sowing gasoline
fires and ' ammunition . blasts
through a ' sprawling rail-commu
nications center.
The F-84 attack on Manpolin.
a border city in an area so remote
that its targets normally are as
signed to long range B-29.S brought
out 50 Russian - built MIGs seek
ing to rout the slower Thunder-
jets. But 42 screening Sabres took
on the MIGs in the eighth straight
day of sky fights.
The Fifth Air Force said Sabre
pilots destroyed two MIGs, prob
ably destroyed three and damaged
two others in IS dosfishts Satur
day." . .- : - .. rZl'
The claims brought the eight
day total tot 19 MIGs destroyed,
seven probably destroyed and 20
damaged. '
The air war went on around-the-clock,
with B-26s and B-29s
pounding the Reds Saturday night
and in the pre - dawn Sunday
but there was little ground action
along the frozen battlefront.
Bomb-blasted Manpolin is about
ISO miles northeast of oft-raided
Sinuiju through which the Reds
usually funnel supplies across the
Yalu from Antung. Manchuria.
Manpojln is also on a direct rail
and road supply route from Man
churia and is used ss an alternate
approach to the Red front lines.
CONSOLIDATION BILL VOTED
The Senate passed and sent to
the House Saturday a bill to let
Oregon City and Gladstone con
solidate.
William McAllister, Medford,
former speaker of the House and
attorney for the Rogue River Val
ley Traffic Association, said the
bill by Day, who also is from
Medford, would put an end to
cloud seeding.
Backers of the bill said It would
curb indiscriminate cloud seeding,
regulating it through a proposed
state weather modification board.
The House State and Federal
Affairs Committee and the Sen
ate Agriculture Committee heard
the arguments for more than three
hours-
Also at issue was a bill by Rep.
Robert Root, also of Medford,
who would have the Public Utili
ties Commissioner do the licens
ing. ,
Jackson county dry land farm
ers, who fear that rainfall has
been reduced because of fruit
arrowers attempts to stoD hail
storms by cloud seeding, support
Day's bill.
The fruit men support Root's
bill. - -
Senate Votes Bill to
Allow Candidates
To Quit Primary
The Senate passed a House bill
Saturday : to permit presidential
candidates to withdraw from Ore
gon's presidential primary elec
tions, but it apparently is headed
for a dispute in a' Senate-House
conference committee, i -v;
As passed by the House. It would
have allowed withdrawal only of
persons who swear they are not
candidates for president.
The Senate changed it so that
any person, including oanaidates
nationally, could withdraw from
the state primary when they don't
want to run here. -
The bilL by Rep: Mark Hatfield,
Salem, is the outgrowth of the
1952 primary In which Sen. Wayne

Douglas were entered in the pres
idential races here against their
wishes.
Senators voting against the bill

Embezzled Money
Used Only for
Living Expenses
PORTLAND W Money embez
zled by Donald Hammar, Eugene
bank loan officer, was used for
living expenses and not for other
purposes. Federal Judge Gus Solo
mon said; Saturday. .
Hammar was given a two-year
suspended sentence Friday by Sol
omon. The Associated Press re
ported incorrectly that the embez
zled money had been used "in an
effort to establish a small printing
business and to aid a brother,
paralysed by polio." Juige Solomon
said there was no reference in
testimony to aid to trie brother
and that the money was used solely
to augment Hammar's salary.
