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. ' '
