Ida ho, where black cherry shipping has just got under way and will help in Handling tne company's deal there. He stated that a man would remain in the local offices of the firm here to take care of new contracts and keep the local situation In shape until shipping season. Anderson said that he expected the shipping season would start here July 1 and that his firm would be in line not only for black cherries but for some Royal Annes which will probably be handled In Mc Minnville where the firm has od- ened cannery operations. I was at Eugene the other day and we looked over the orchards there. There are no Indications of brown rot either here or there yet, out it is very eany and if this wea ther should keep up it might prove something serious later. What Is needed for the cherries Is warm, dry, sunny weather. "The crop around here is spotted some places a third, some places a half a crop, and It is probable they will run all told at around a little less than half a crop. However, there is no reason why the berries should not be of very good quality if we get some sunny, warm weather, which we are looking for every day out naven t experienced to any ex tent yet."

The republican majority was out in lull strength and when Speaker Long worth put Haugen's motion to a vocal vote, it was adopted immedi ately. Representative Jones, the demo crat from Texas ,who has been championing the debenture in the house then shouted for recognition. He had a motion favorable to the debenture In his hand and a speech for it in his pocket. He never got to aeiiver eitner. Longworth ignored Jones and rec ognized Floor Leader John Tilson. inend of the president. Tilson mov ed that the house conferees be specifically instructed to insist on striking out "section 10 of the bill, the fo-cal'M debenture plan." I think this will conclude the controversy," said Tilson. "It is the quickest and perhaps the only way to get the bill passed. I move -the previous question on my motion. Longworth pnt Ttlson's motion through with a slap of his gavel ana tne house was effectively Ragged against any further discussion. The democratic floor leader, John Gar ner of Texas, Immediately demand ed a roll call to put all the members of the house on record as to how they stand on the debenture. There were shouts of "no. no," from the republican side, but when all the democrats arose, the republicans knew it would be useless to protest and at iae wave of Tilson's hand they anve In a body and agreed to take the record vote.

Thirteen republicans desert ed Mr. Hoover and supported the debenture while 34 democrat sided with Mr. Hoover against debenture.

Buying continued to be of a rather selec tive character, however, with such important groups as the steels, mo tors, coppers, and oils taking little part in the up-swing. Utilities were again in he forefront of the ad vance, with the rails joining the upward movement in the afternoon trading. Buying became varied In the final hour when the chemicals and low pdiced oils appeared frequently on the ticker. Lago oil rose to 34 xi, a new high for the year, and Allied chemical. Commercial solvents and Columbia irbon moved up four to six points. Most of the public utilities con tinued to gain, public service of New Jersey getting into new high ground at 97.
