UP) Soviet Russia's delegates to the world wheat conference said today they opposed a plan suggested by Snmuel K. Mc Kelvie, head of the American delega tion, for reduction in wheat acreage because industrial and social condi tions in Russia made increased wheat production imperative. "Yesterday." an official announce ment said, 'the Americans submitted a proposal which is unacceptable to Soviet Russia because of conditions in our social system, with extraordinary development in our industries and the number of our industrial workers, and in view of the incrensed production which Is necessary to meet growing internal demands. "It seems advisable to us to allow each country to decide for itself whe ther to curtail production of agricul tural commodities, and wheat in par ticular." The statement snid U was the Rus sian opinion, drnw-n from statements of others before the conference, that "the principal solution for regulation of wheat export is fixing definite ex port quotas. The announcement dealt with the Russian views regarding quotas and said Russia's pre-war status must be considered in fixing any quota scheme. It discussed the necessity for fi nancing any surpluses which Russia might hold off the market as a re sult of - agreement on and operation of any qiwtn system and suggested wheat stocks be he Id in Kussia ai security for "adequate credits." 7 he statement was aumed by Isl dore Luhimoff, bead of the Russian defecation. In a preface Lubimoff outlined the position of soviet whent production. Last year the crop totaled 2!.30U.MK tons. Allowing for consumption, the surplus was 6.100,000 tons. As for the new crop, the winter wheat sowing was 32.(100,000 hec tares; spring whent, 20,700,000 hec tares.

Central Part Of State Hit By Dry Season SALEM, Mny 21. (4) The driest senson known in recent years in Ore gon has struck the central part of the state and hns resulted in real cause for alarm. State Engineer Charles E. Stricklin. snid today. The dry area constitutes a strip through the central part of the state through ( aliforma and to the Mexican line. The strip runs from the Cascade mountains to the Blue mountains. Reports from thnt section indiente the farmers there have given up any idea of crops this senson, but are worried for enough water for their wells to supply livestock and some orchards. Where this water wns com ing from, , had not been determined. He ports from i.nlliornin, hmcKiin states, indtenffis that state is worse off than Oregon in tho area of the dry strip. The stnte distributes water for ir rigation to n million acres, but the streams are lower and some of them in the dry nrea are entirely dried up this year. Lack of snow in the moun tains has likewise slowed down and dripd up many springs. The const area and the eastern sec tion, particularly in linker and Mnl- lalla counties, nre supplied with wa ter, and have more moisture than wns available lost year, Stricklin said.

Roofs and office windows were dot ted with onlookers, and traffic in Grant pnrk stood still as a mass of spectators poured over the green turf to the edge of Lake Michigan and gazed hkywnrd. Overhead the sun shone. Mnjor Dnyenport Johnson of Gal veston led the great procession with the 3rd attack group of 70 planes from Fort Crockett. Following the attack group was the 2nd bombardment group from Long ley field, Va. The bombers flew in columns of three, 50 to 00 in each group.

Tha two s WORKINGS Of SYSTEM Noted Marine Greeted By Many Eugeneans at Meet Thursday PLEASED WITH STATE Declares Officers Would Serve Citizens in Many Ways Reversing a famous saying, some1 200 Eugene business men and hunt drcds of radio listeners let the mat rines do the telling and do It In sj big way when Mnjor-General Smed-f ley Dnrlingon Butler appeared beforej the Eugene Breakfast club Thursday morning with a stirring picture of the future state police of Oregon. Wildly applauded, and with the rousing notes of the famous marln song, "From the Halls of Monte tuma" ringing in his ears, General Butler obviously sold his personality, and his Ideas to the Breakfast club bers and their numerous guests. "Oregon" Is Sung When he completed his 22-mImrtl talk, he called for the singing of the song, "Oregon," and declared that b wanted the state police of Oregon to feel that a million people are singing that song for them. "Give them that kind of backing, and your state police will give yog a public service that can be equaled by no other group," said the geuersi. , With a sincere directness that belled any hint of "applesauce," the marina paid tribute to Oregon and Us pio neer heritage. "Recnuse your founders crossed tha' pin ins and deserts to reach this land, you hnve something the easterners cannot boast," snid the general. "JJ have seen ft In some of your rnonnrf ments those sturdy men nnd women calmly facing the storm. When I see that, I realize I am among a great . people. As representatives of a mil lion such people, what a great organ ization your state police can and will be." All-Day Love Less seriously, the general said ttsl "can't understand how you people hero In Oregon enn get up and sing nnd mnke speeches before breakfast You seem to love each other all dny. "Now in Pennsylvania, we might get together and love ench other with one eye, but with the other we would b looking for a place to hit the other fellow." Just once did the general tread on forbidden verbal ground and that at the beginning of his tnlk, when he snid his idea of a policeman "isn't a fellow who gets up before breakfast and makes a damned nuisance of him self all dny." This brought a laugh, and the gen eral grinned into the microphone be fore him with the remark "can yon shut this thing off?" "Cuss all you want!" shouted soma, one, but If there were further wander ings Into mnrlne strong language they slipped over without notice. Stresses Service The genernl made nn emphntlc point of the public welfnre service which the ideal stnte police body per forms. In doing this, he described a state police car in Michigan.

He bas one son graduating from thii Massachu setts Institute of Technology this yenr and another to enter college next year. Service nnd respect of Inw might be the two-fold messnge to the people of Oregon from General Butler on the subject of organizing the new state police force.
