(U.R) A second person implicated in a four-year-old Kansas bank rob' bery by a young gunman who confessed his pari in the crime from a pulpit Sunday was to be charged in connection with the holdup Tuesday. David Williams, a 52-year-old itinerant farm laborer, admitted after 36 hours of questioning to being the "brains" behind the robbery which 23-year-old Al Johnson confessed from a Topeka church pulpit. But it appeared that neither Williams nor Johnson would serve time for the May 19, 1948, robbery of the Hoyt, Kan., State Bank, an offense which carries a 10 to SO-year sentence on convic tion. The Kansas statute of limita tions provides that no person shall be sentenced for a crime other than murder or treason after two years, unless the accused man has fled the state. The four-year old bank robbery case first broke last week when the Rev. Howard Brumme, pastor of the Seward Avenue Baptist Church in Topeka, announced that an unidentified member of hi? congregation wanted "to get right with God and man" and would confess his part in the $1,000 robbery from the pulpit. A few hours before his public confession was planned, however, Johnson was identified to officers. He was taken to Holton, Kan., charged with bank robbery and arraigned and released on $5,000 bond to keep his scheduled Sun day speaking date at the church. He implicated Williams.

UVINGSTO" DENVER, enroute to San Fran cisco, May 5 An easterner, going west into the grain and livestock areas of the country, quickly dis covers a new reluctant attitude toward inflation. Yes, the postwar Inflation has caused price spurts part of the time. But farm costs have crept up nearly all the time. That's what's bothering farmers now and may bother politicians in November. Farmers have had their boom. Wheat, corn, cotton, hogs, steers, and most other products the farm er sells are below their peaks. The great postwar pressure for farm products has subsided. European farms are producing at prewar levels or better. THEREFORE, American farm ers are beginning to fear that pric es are in a downtrend. Here is what has happened, in primary markets, to five important com' modifies. Note that all but steers gee, aren't we getting to be beef eaters?! are well below postwar highs: Foit Foltwar Kore&n rem .

On the other hand, taxes, labor costs and the prices of what the farmer buys are up six per cent. The farm parity ration is back to 100. That farm costs and farm prices are in the same relation to one an other as in 1910-14. The recent freight rate increase is aheadache. It adds to the price of machinery, baling wire, ferti lizer, prepared feeds, fencing anything he buys. That means in creased production outlays. At the same time, it adds to the cost of moving steers, hogs, grain, cot ton to market. The farmer will have to absorb this cost, since demand is not expanding. A rise steel prices or wages would mean more of the same. THE FARMER IS squeezed like any business man whose market is not expanding while costs are increasing. Farming today is a business rather. than a way of life, a pastoral mode. The farm popu lation is declining (see chart). But the individual farmer is working more land the conse quence of mechanization. And, as j a corollary, farm out-of-pocket expenses are as rigidified as ever. The farm used to be mortgaged. iNow it's the machinery, which must be financed and maintained. In the fore part of the century, a horse pulled the. plow and the hired man milked the cow. The horse was fed on farm-grown hay, the hired man on products raised on the farm. But, increasingly, farms are being modernized. A tractor pulls the plow, a giant combine harvests the grain, a machine milks the cow. The fuel and the replacement parts for this equipment are cash items. And labor costs are up. The increasing investment in machinery becomes a driving force. The farmer tills his best acreage intensively. Fertilizer in put has more than doubled since 29, and this year will reach an all-time peak, volume-and dollar wise. About one out of every six dollars a farmer takes in goes for machinery and fertilizer. Back in 1919, it was only one dollar in ten. FARM INCOME from market ings so far this year is about 5 per cent higher than last year. But for the year as a whole, farmers will be lucky if they gross as much as in 1951. Prices are not apt to average out as high as last year. But costs will be up and, therefore, net will be down, j The postwar turning point for the farmer was 1947. Net operat ing income reached an all-time ihigh of $17,100,000,000. The next i year, gross receipts rose slightly but expenses were up a good deal more. Ana last year, even though gross receipts reached an all-time high 9 per cent above 1947 net was down 13 per cent. Here's the story in millions of dollars: (000,000) omitted: FEWER FARMERS.

A Livingston Big Packet of Mail Ready for Uncle Joe WASHINGTON JP) Grand ma Buffalari hit town Sunday with her bag of mail for Stalin. She was supposed to jingle jangle into the nation's capital astradle old Bing, her 13 year old pony. She jingle-jangled, all right, with some of the biggest and shiniest spurs seen in these here parts, but she jingle jangled aboard an automobile. Bing did too. Said Grandma Buffalari: "If I look like I feel, I sure do look like H." Grandma is formally known as Mrs. Frances Buffalari, of Norfolk, Va. And Norfolk was where she was 16 days ago, and 230 saddle-sore mile back. That's where she started out with her bag of mail for Stalin. Or possibly, against Stalin. For it's mail from friends in Norfolk addressed to the Voice of America. Her friends wrote to the Voice to broadcast to Stalin to let down the bars that keep information out of the countries behind the Iron Cur tain. She and Bing were dramatiz ing their plea by bringing the mail to the Voice by the old fashioned pony express method. But when she got within 11 miles of Washington, "the closer I got, the worse the traffic got," and so she got a van for Bing, and a car for herself. "It was too hard on Bing," she said. "There were many times we both wanted to drop." Mrs. Buffalari said she plans to trot up to the White House, as well as the State Department, Monday morning. She doesn't know who she is going to see at either place, but she's going. That will be after appearing on a television program, she added. Grandma Buffalari said she NPA Gets Attorney SEATTLE (U.R) George E. Mathieu Monday was appointed regional attorney for the National Production Authority, Regional Director Philip M.

DiSalle tried to sell farmers on how stabilization would help them. But when farm prices were rising faster than production costs, farmers listened and went about their business. Now that farm prices no longer are rising and costs are, Ellis Ar nall can make out a more per suasive case. In short, the farmer no longer is on the inflation band wagon.

Constipation Discovery A new compound recently developed by science, BIO LIN, appears to be the an swer to the age-old problem of constipation, colitis, gall bladder and other bowel con ditions. This amazing dis covery gives relief never before imagined by acting on the liver to increase flow of bile, assisting in digestion of fats and producing gentle, free movements, helping to prevent types of intestinal fermentation (gas) and con stipation. Biolin tablets are available at Eugene's head quarters for Raymo wonder drugs, EVERYBODY'S DRUG STORE, 986 Wil lamette St., Eugene. The price $1.00.
