Norblad Eyes West's 'Share' In Wheat Sale U. S. Rep. Walter Norblad (R-Ore.) said Thursday he has filed protests with both Harold Stassen of the Mutual Security Agency and Ezra Benson, Secre tary of Agriculture, against the proposal to ship all of "the wheat for Pakistan from Gulf and At lantic ports. Norblad said that approximate ly 37 million bushels of wheat have been committed to this pro gram and that none of the ship ments were planned for the Pa cific Northwest In letters to both Benson and Stassen he pointed out that in view of the Pacific Northwest's historical export sales handling of wheat at least 25 per cent of the shipments should be made from these ports. : He also ex pressed the viewpoint that this would in a substantial measure protect the local markets of Port land, Astoria and Seattle.
