Robert E. White, I'M A grain . supervisor, Portland, told commit 1en members that H.l per cent of " 17,44-1 federal grain samples tak , en in Oregon, Washington and Id aho during the 19-18 harvest sea- Son graded smutty. An identical smut figure was registered on samples from the 1947 crop. Short cuts in seed treatment for smut are responsible for much of the disease spread, be lieves Rex Warren, O.S.C. exten sion farm crops specialist. A member of the smut control committee, Warren states that smut infestation on two popular Oregon wheats -Elgin and Alice!-took an alarming jump In 1948. There was some improve- ment in hard red winter and com mon white wheats to offset the - smut increase in the two white " club varieties. Smutty wheat in the northwest - was at an all-time low in 1942 when just 2.8 per cent of the fed- " eral samples graded smutty. The shift to more nonresistant wheats such as Alice! and Elgin in Oregon has aggravated th smut problem, Warren states. In ' four Columbia basin counties Wasco, Sherman, Moro and Gil- - liam 34 per cent of the 1948 All . eel and Elgin samples graded " smutty. In 1947 samples from the ' same wheats were 25.2 per cent smutty. At Condon which was ' this area's sore spot in the 1947 smut picture, there was decided improvement in the 1948 crop, Warren points out. The Pendleton inspection dis-f-, trict, which Includes Union and Wallowa counties, showed a sim r ,ilar increase in smut on the two white club varieties. These 7 wheats graded 23.5 per cent smutty in' 1947; 32.9 per cent smutty for the 1948 crop. Union county was particularly hard hit. STATEHOUSE JOTTINGS By Eldon Barrett '(United I're-ut Staff CirreiHinilenU Salem, Ore., Jan. 20 ll'-Tho honor of making the motion to adjourn after each day's sessions is reserved In the house for Har vey Wells. Kep. Wells, a Portland republi can, is dean of the house. As u matter of fact he is dean of the legislature. Wells is attending his 10th regular session. He also has served four special sessions. The jolly, ruddy-faced, white haired gentleman first came to Salem as a legislator in 1921. He returned again in 1929, served three sessions and then laid off until 1939. Since then he has serv ed regularly. Wells is 70 years old but to watch him navigate you wouldn't think so. He runs his committee financial institutions in a down-to-business manner. When he de bates on the floor the others lis ten. Wells sella insurance and is head of several other firms in cluding the Jantzen Beach Amusement company. He was state Insurance commissioner from 1915 to 1919 and helped re codefy Oregon's insurance laws. Wells served in the Spanish . American war and is a staunch backer of much veterans legisla tion.

This is an organization little known outside the Middle East. The Egyptian government is now nth-inpting to stamp it out. Many if its leaders are under arrest. But with a membership now claimed to he In excess of 500,000, the brotherhood may be difficult to supples:;. Founder and leader of Ihe Mo.: lern brotherhood is llas.'.an Al Banna, who is called "The Sheik" and "The Supreme Cuide." He is a former teacher, son of a watch maker, believed to be about 40 years old. He is reputed to be a powerful orator and a leader who inspires his followers to pro grams of extreme action. Many legends have now sprung up a.'l about his life, to indicate how his actions have been guided by Allah. This has contributed greatly to the religious fervor which dominates the brotherhood. Sheik Hassan Al Banna started his brotherhood in 1930. It had slow growth for 10 years. It be an to take hold in 1942 and has nade great gains since the end of he war. Most of te brotherhood activi ties are now concentrated in Egypt. But it claims to have cells in Syria, the Sudan, Yemen, Leb anon and Iran. Membership is re cruited largely from younger ele ments of the population, includ ing university students under 20. At first the brotherhood was a religious group. Its purpose was stated in the slogan, "To teach the social meaning and force of Is-1 lam. Gradually the brotherhood be came a political movement. In ad dition to wanting the people to live oy tne Koran, the supreme guide wanted Arab governments to return to Koranic law as the basis for their constitutions and systems of justice. This would mean a return to the old law of "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." These principles did not intend to rule out all change from ancient ways. The aim was to fol low more closely the teachings of Mohammedanism. Erom this point it was an easy step for the brotherhood to be come an extremely nationalistic movement, Athletic: drills for the young members were begun. This soon became pre-military train ing. In the recent military cam paign in Palestine, the Moslem brotherhood had a brigade of troops in the field. Next step was for the brother hood to become a terroristic or ganization. Recent raids by Egyp tian police against the brother hood have uncovered stores of ammunition and explosives, with plans of the houses of many im portant personages and incrimin ating papers indicating plots for assassinations and Ihe bombing of foreign embassies. The broth erhood program i.i nuw.dcfinilely anti-foreign. The slain Prime Minister No krashy Pasha's newspaper has charged that the brotherhood cen ters were used by communists for their activities. This has been de nied by the brotherhood's own newspaper, Terrorism, it is ex plained, Is contrary to Islamic teachings. 'So long as the brother hood exists," the Sheik has de clared, "communism will he fought," It is believed, however, that Ihe brotherhood may well have be come the center for all dissatis fied elements - communis! borers from within as well as Egyptian liberals interested in raising Ihe standard of living of the common people. Among objectives which the brotherhood advanced in a polit ical manifesto last August were these: Expulsion of all foreign I roups. Union of Egypt with the Suda l. Withdrawal of all Arab countries from all International I organizations, lie pud i a t i o n of I treaties with the western world. 1 The calling of an 'all-Islam con- ference to strengthen the position of the Moslem world against Zion : ism and Christianity. This is the program which has caused such ' concern to the western world. Recent developments in the , technology of infra-red rays give promise ol many industrial appli i.itions in the future, including photography and spectroscopy. 'Good Luck Washington Scene Itanium W. Nichols (Wnittvl I'reaa Staff Correspomlent) Washington, Jan. 20 dl'iA red faced congressman tailed the lost and found department of the Cap ital Transit company. "1 left the text of u speech on one of your street cars. I'm sup. posed to deliver it in half an hour. What'll I do?" he squalled. The L. and K. department asked the law maker which street cat he had ridden and what time he had arrived at the capitol build ing. The congressman remember ed and in less than half an hour his speech was on his desk deliv ered by cab. That's the kind of service given by the transport people, who are planning to put wired music on street cars' and busses so you can read your pa per and listen to Perry Como as you ride to woi k. The lost and found people, though, really catch it. As you might expect, umbrellas led the list of things lost during the past year. Some 4,000 persons left their homes on days on which rain threatened and parked their bumbershoots In street cars and busses. Most of them didn't bother to report their losses. These were among 20,000 lost items turned in by honest riders and honest drivels. There went some strange ones, too. One small boy called in to say that he hud left a box contain ing half a dozen white mice on a bus. And would the bus people please take good care of them and feed them some cheese? The bus people did. Mrs. M. S. Ward, who handles lost articles, said she was shock ed, somewhat, when a gentleman turned up a short time ago to say he had lost his false teeth. "We had plenty of them on hand," she sal i. This particular old timer wasn't too choose' since lie had been placed on a soup diet on account of no choppers. "lie tried on several pairs," Mrs. Ward said, "and finally found a pair that fit. lie clamped them in, tipped Ids derby, said thanks and walked out. What could I do?" Then there was the hot after noon somebody left a package cf spoiled fish on a street car. That bundle never got to the lost and found. The motormnn got rid of It in a hurry. Pitto a half pound of limburger left on a hot bus. People are as careless with their money as they are with their bundle's.

How ard of Madras, veteran leader of the Jefferson county chapter of the National Foundation for In- fantile Paralysis, declared Tues-. day night, when it was learned that S237 had been raised by the Culver district in the initial activ ity of the 1949 campaign for funds, an entertainment and dance at the Haystack grange hall near here, that "progress is satisfac tory." The Culver March of Dimes party, which drew attendance from all parts of the county, fea tured varied entertainment by tal ent from various communities. Other members of the general committee1 in charge of the affair with Mrs. Harry Heising as chair man, were Mrs. Dwight Macy, Mrs. Ruby Hagman, V. L. Ander son and Don Lehman. A high light of the program was musi cal numbers by Warm Springs In dians, who were directed by Mrs. Naomi Wagner, who has gained wide acclaim over Oregon for de veloping "Hiawatha," an Indian pageant which has been present ed at Fourth of July and pioneer celebrations throughout the stale. Other numbers included a violin solo, Mrs. Bernard Burke; read ing, Rev. Wayne Osborne; num bers by an instrumental trio, Mrs. mostly in billfold?, returned $17, 550.30 and turned the rest over to the finders-keepers. Riders also dropped nearly $12, 000 in checks, bonds and securi ties. All of this reminded me of a similar story I once got from the lost and found department of the Eighth avenue subway in New York city. It seemed that somebody left a parrot and its cage on one of the cars going out to Flushing. Th? parrel had a mind of its own when turned In to the L. and F. dept. It said its name was "Polly" and what it wanted more than anything else in the world at Ihe moment was a cracker. So far as I know, tho bird still is a pet in Ihe Eighth avenue of fice at the end of the line.

War is be ing declared on the city's under woild. This means that Oregon's smaller cities will fj-;uhlless be having crime waves. Whenever the large cities start clean up campaigns, under world 'characters scalier out to "whistle stops" wheie they must live off the land. Invariably met ropolitan clean-ups are followed by waves of burglaries, hold ups, safe crackings, etc., in the smaller towns. Another result is a scattering lo the "slicks" of the card sharp ers. In towns such as Roseburg, where no licensed gaming halls are permitted, poker players col led in private homes, hotel rooms or out-of the-way spots where they may have a game free from inl rference by the law. Such games make ideal pickings for the professional card sharper. We may expect the presence of a large number of these profession als while the heat is on in Port land. Although gambling is driven under cover, poker playing can not be prevented, particularly in a timber center. Those who in-' dulge in poker games, however, sh'juld he extremely careful that they know those with whom they play, for there will be plenty of professionals sepking a soft touch until Portland quiets down again.

The chilly winter switched almost in one day lo a sunny, warm spring. The melting snows cascaded down the m eunlaln slopes into the myriad tributaries of the Co lumbia, flooding large areas of British Columbia, northern Idaho ju l western Washington before the over burdened Columbia smashed its banks along the Oregon-Washington border. The climax came on Memorial day when backwater from Ihe Co lumbia burst through a weakened dike north of Portland and sent a -surging flood into the unprepared housing project of Vanp.irt City. Thousands Rotileit Nineteen thousand persons fled for their lives as the water quick ly rose to ceiling level and de stroyed the community. Twelve persons were drowned at Van port. Elsewhere in the northwest 50 persons lost their lives, 10,000 homes were wrecked and pr oper ty totaling more than $100,000,000 was damaged. Col. Walsh said a special win ter snow survey completed in De cember showed the water content in the Cascades to be nearly as great as that, of snow accumulat ed in April of a normal year. Prof. Church said: "Already this winter season there is nearly I as much snow as there was at the end of the 1947-48 winter. With further snow accumulations in the next three months, one of the main conditions for a spring, 1949, flood will be satisfied."
