I : ' S At Princeton, N. J.,' Oppenhel-, mer said he hasn't seen the book. He had no other comment. f Both authors of "The Hydrogen Bomb" are Time magazine staff members. Shepley. heads Time's Washington I Bureau. : The book, copyrighted by the authors, is to be published by the David McKay Co.! Inc.; of New York. Lengthy excerpts appear in the current is sue of U: S.

Marshall and went with Marshall on the general's mission to China.' Blair served in the Navy in World War U. ! U. S. News k World Report said they "had access to official sources.: spent months of research" on the H-bomb problem. It said "Many of the officials concerned have read advance copies of the book arid furnished corroborative data to: the authors." j (The authors put the blame on a number of factors for this coun try's 1 failure to press ahead with H-bomb development as soon as Russia exploded its first atomic weapon. They say President Tru man was "evasive" at first, the Air Force indifferent, the preva lent Washington attitude one of confusion. f By far the biggest obstacle in this country, Shepley and Blair say was, a solid "wall of opposi tion" put up by Oppenheimer and various other : scientists who, the book says, ultimately were proved wrong in their calculations when Dr. Edward Teller came up With a theory about , how j the H-bomb could be built successfully!. f The book savs there is no evi dence Oppenheimer 'took '"overt action" to persuade scientists at the Los Alamos Weapons Labora tory "to strike against the Presi dent's decision." But it says: 1 There seems to be no question that his opposition . was sig widespread nificent to produce reaction."

MADSEN Farm Editor, The Statesman Possibility of developing pure cereal seed for seed use rather than for feed in the Willamette Valley, was suggested by Harry Schoth, USDA agronomist, Monday night . . Schoth was one of the speakers at the annual Marion County Crops Outlook meeting held at the Marion' County Courthouse and attended by more than 100 farmers. . - i It's almost impossible to buy; pure cereal seed ol any one brand. Hannchan Barley is the only seed, outside of oats, that has maintained pure strains.' There should be a good market at a little premium for such: seed, Schoth said. Left in Field Crimson clover is difficult to harvest, with 60 per cent of it remaining in the field. However, new machinery for harvesting this is now being developed. Austrian field peas is "on the way out". because the south is "weaning it self from peas and turning to Wooley Pod Vetch. This might be produced in small quantity here for the southern market. Schoth said. f1 Alfa fescue is one of the few grasses that we n't through, the severe drought the past two years in the south, and this has increas ed demand for it, according to Ray Teal and Marion Thomas, ex tension economists, Oregon State College. j Growers who have good, clean fields of Alta fescue, were en couraged to stay with them. The hairy vetch outlook, accord ing to. Teak was rather f poor," with over 30 million pounds in government stock about two year's supply. ' ' I Supply on Hand ? A large supply of chewings fes cue on hand is depressing that market, . although this may be changed by lack of production elsewhere, Thomas said,! as he added that he looked for the chewings rdarket "to be rather poor for another three or four years." - The outlook for fall-seeded ce real crops is on a downward pat tern, Thomas went on. The wheat loan price next year will be $2 06. Thomas predicted' somewhat lower 1955 prices for barley and oats, too, due to the lifting of re strictions on diverted crop acres, which will continue at high acre age production for each crop. Pigs will eventually, Thomas thought, "eat our wayLout of the grain difficulty" but hog prices will suffer in consequence. Wool prices will continue good for the next three or four years, but cattle prices will go lower, Production of prennial rye grass has increased so much that "grow ers had better look out for 1956 and 1957," Thomas added. Hollis Oattawy, Marion County extension. agent, was chairman of the evening's program. Melbourne and Sydney, Austra- Lia are the only cities in that country with more than a population.
