duced crops valued at $202,e39,040
during 1948, third highest on rec
ord, the final crop census of the
bureau of reclamation showed to
day. Largest crop returns were from
the Minidoka project and upper
Snake river area, southeastern
Idaho, 1,036,915 irrigable acres,

$60,301,673, and the Boise project,
southwestern Idaho, 326,924 acres,
gross value of $30,739,961.
The highest per-acre return of
all federally irrigated acres in the

acre Okanogan project in central
Washington with a total of
$398.32. The Yakima project had
a per-acre average of $165.93 and

the Deschutes project produced
crops gross value of which was
$7,828,286, or $107.04 per acre,

Raybiirri Expqcts
Long Session
i Washington, May 16 (U?! House
'Speaker Sam Rayburn said today
;he expects congress to remain jn
;session for "another three or four
months." ,' ,
jr His, statement' was, made after
congressional democratic leaders
held their regular Monday confer
ence with President Truman at
the White House,
i. The Texas democrat thus indi
cated that the congress might still
be In session in September.
, Rayburn said he thought pres
ent talk about a special session
was1 "nonsensical" because the
present session still has from
three to four months to run in
his opinion.
"Why talk about an extra ses
sion when we are already here
and will be for some time?" Ray
burn told reporters.
The speaker said the matter of
recess, adjournment or a special
session had not come up in confer
ences between the president and
his leaders.
He said as far as the house was
concerned, he thought it was
"ahead of the game" in work on
the administration program.
"But I don't think anybody
would expect us to pass all of this
program in one session of con
gress," he said. "Remember, we
still have another session of the
81st congress after this one."

Arms for Europe
Program Slashed
Washington, May 16 UB The
administration plans to ask con
gress for only $.300,000,000 in new
money for Ihe first year of the
arms-for-Europe program, it was
learned today.
The remainder of the $1,130,
000,000 arms aid plan presum
ably would be met by transfer
ring surplus u. a. military equip
ment abroad or by using funds
already in President Truman's
fiscal 1950 budget.
The $300,000,000 figure was ad
vanced by administration sources
to the joint congressional com
mittee on Internal revenue. It
was used by that committee In
its week end calculation of the
nation's fiscal condition, senators
said.
If new administration requests
for appropriations to finance
arms shipments are limited to
$300,000,000 the program is ex
pected to have a lot easier sled
ding in congress -than originally
had been anticipated.
The $300,000,000 sum appar
ently would be spent for what
the state department terms "a
relatively small but very impor
tant amount" of dollar aid to
increase military production in
western Europe, and for a small
amount of newly manufactured
military equipment.
In addition, it appeared that a
