Newspaper Page Text13 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1932 CUBE BUTTER ADVANCES ONE CENT POUND Portland, Ore., July 21 (IP Ad vance of one cent a pound In the price of cube butter on the produce exchange here was not at all un expected In view of the scramble recently for top score offerings generally along the coast. The ad vance to 18c for extras was there fore due. However, the rise of similar amount In underscores was more of a sympathetic movement rather than any special need for such a rise. The shortage of extras and standards, however, have somewhat better undertone to the entire trade and forcer the move ment of under grades Into con suming channels, For several days there has been rather keen strength in the Cali fornia market owing to the great decreases In the churning there and along the coast. Much northwest stock has been moved In that dl rcction as a result of the higher prices which naturally forced the upward swing here. Butterfat made the costumary advance of one cent a pound which Is now effective. Generally firm tone Is suggested In the market for eggs here with strength displayed at most leading points along the Pacific slope. Re ceipts continue to dwindle Cut of lc lb. In the buying price of lightweight hens to 7-9c lb. Is shown for the day, confirming Inst week's late forecasts of this desire on the part of killers in spite of the decreased supply. Months ahead of the normal, new crop young torn turkeys are being offered to the local trade by Willamette valley growers but none appear anxious to start the move ment Inasmuch as there Is still con siderable old stuff coming and the storage plants are loaded. Warmer weather has quickly af fected sentiment In the market for country killed meats. Receipts are not liberal but demand appears a trifle slow except for lambs and mutton, which are fully maintain ed. Shippers at The Dalles are lift ing the price of apricots and some dissatisfaction exists In the trade. Sales are still liberal but mostly at old prices. Attempts to secure the advances are not yet general. Prices continue off in the mar ket for tomatoes here, the result of furthre Increase of marketing by Columbia river points as well as liberal hangover from the Califor nia season. Hothouse are In nom inal offering but prices are shaded along with outdoor to move. Market for celery Is somewhat depressed at practically all points, several carloads have recently been rolled from the Lablsh section but no sales are confirmed. Locally the market is overloaded. Lemons are up another 75c case. Peach market Is extremely slow for all offerings. Cucumber market continued sick, principally 25 -30c box. First peas out of the Marshland section were priced at a nickel. Apple trading was of nominal characted with scarcely sufficient business to establish prices. SEEK PEGGING OF WHEAT TO DOLLAR Denver, Colo., July 21 u) Co operation of the federal farm board In pegging the price of this year's crop of wheat at $1 a bushel, was sought by Lieut. Gov. Edwin C. Johnson today. Johnson, head of the grain men's cooperative organization at Craig, wired Chairman Stone of the farm board that the short crop this year justified the farmers in a selling strike until the objective is obtain ed. Johnson asked the board to co operate, and said he anticipated prompt reply. Salem Markets Compiled from reports of Sa lem dealers, for the guidance of Capital Journal readers. (Revised Dally).

FARM ILLS DOE TO FARM BOARD Kansas City, July 31 (PV-The federal farm board and various reclamation projects were described as enemies of the farmers at the congressional hearing here Into governmental competition with pri vate business. John B. Gage, a lawyer, a repre sentative of the livestock interests, yesterday assailed the National Livestock Marketing association, a farm board agency, by declaring that "any organization that receiv es at least 98 per cent of its work ing capital from the government truly can be said to represent the government In business." The depression in livestock prices. ne declared, has developed since the agency had built up a credit structure of $20,000,000 by the use of government money. He charged that "the inability to obtain credit through normal channels had caus ed many private producers to be- cuine slaves of this farm board agency." Gage testified that Irrigation pro jects in Idaho were largely respons ible for the present condition of the potato market. He pointed out that the large volume produced with government -water had glutted the market, and added that other pro jects underway would add to the burdens of the farmer. Representatives of envelope man ufacturers were called upon for their testimony at the resumption of the hearing this morning.

State Troops Ordered Out To Indiana Mines To Supress Rioting Digger, Ind., July 21 (PJ Three companies of Indiana national guardsmen were ordered today to the vicinity of the Hoosier coal mine, which 20 non-union workmen have re fused to leave untU assured nrotec- tlon from more than a thousand I union sympathizers maintaining a picket around the shaft. Sheriff Wesley Williams of Sul livan county was notified of the order this morning by Governor Harry G. Leslie, who said he would accompany the troops when they assemble at Shakamak state park, about 10 miles from the mine. Com panies from Indianapolis, Attica and Ladoga were called. Officials explained the move was precautionary, pointing out the men m the mine have made no attempt to come out and that the attiude of the plcketers should they attempt to do so was problematical. Thus far the plcketers have been orderly, according to Sheriff Wil liams, who said they numbered about 1,200, Including miners and their wives. Both Governor Leslie and Sheriff Williams Indicated their major In terest was to remove the miners who have been in the shaft more than 20 hours without food. They said the workmen were armed and expressed fear they might become desperate If they remained in the pit much longer. The Hoosier mine is one of sev eral In the southern Indiana field which have been operated on a co operative basis. The Indiana Coal Operators association and district 11, United Mine Workers of Ameri ca, failed to renew their contract when it expired March 31. Sheriff Williams said he plan ned no arrests as long as the plck eters remained orderly. What part the troops would plav was not made clear. Governor Les lie said he thought it advisable to have them in the vicinity In event an emergency should arise. Sheriff Wlliams was hampered in his attempts to handle the crowd, he said, because factional beliefs on the organized labor question In Sullivan county made selection of impartial deputies difficult. Continuation of PETITION HOAX (From page one) mitted, allegedly, that he was In the office shortly before the peti tions were removed from the safe. Langley said Brownell explained his visit to the office was for the purpose of storing a Jug uf mineral water m the safe. Brownell had no official con nection with the petition circulation, it Is said. He and Slocum, who had charge of the circulation of the petitions, were formerly business partners and continued to occupy the same offices after their partnership was dissolved. Brownell was defeated in the May primary election as a candidate for reDubllcan nomination as United States congressman from the third district. George Mowry, chief criminal deputy district attorney, said con vlction on the charge of larceny carries a maximum sentence of 10 years In prison. In announcing that the com plaint had been issued, Langley made the following statement: With the idea in mind of filing the present larceny charge, this office has been for more than week In close conference with Mr. Hector MacPherson and his associ ates who sponsored the consolida tion measure. "The crime of larceny, as every lawyer knows, includes several vital elements, besides the mere taking of property, and Mr. MacPherson and his office have at all times en deavored to proceed carefully In this matter, having in mind that it is a serious thing to file a criminal charge of this character against a man of Mr. Brownella standing In this community. "A careful examination of the evidence available convinces us that there is sufficient probable cause for the Issuance of this war rant, and we intend to continue the investigation and prosecution as speedily and vigorously as possible." The district attorney said furth er: "We can assure the public that the efforts of the police depart ment and of this office will be un sparing to bring to light and prose cute any persons who may have operated Invisibly and behind the scenes In this matter, and all oth ers criminally Implicated." The complaint charges that on July 4 Brownell "did unlawfully and feloniously take, steal and car ry away 200 sets of printed and signed initiative petitions for a bill moving university, normal and law schools of the state of Oregon, and establishing Junior colleges which petitions were then of an aggregate value of more than 25 cents each, and of more than $35, all of which sets of petitions were the personal prop erty of Henry Zom, Wlllard H.

Mr. Magee had nice berries for the first year of bear ing and from all Indications from the new runners and everything favorable he will have a bumper crop next year. Continuation of CANADA'S PLAN (Prom page one) head of the delegation from the United Kingdom, then spoke, out lining the general purposes of the gathering. The real importance of the con ference, he said, lies in the fact that it marks a point where two roads di verge, "one leading to the develop ment of purely national interests, the other to closer Imperial unity and the recognition of advantages in mutual trade cooperation." If at the end of the conference the delegates can say that they have taken the latter road, he said, "the actual distance covered is of minor importance, because progresa will continue." Great Britain has given the do minions the privilege of free entries Into ports of the United Kingdom, and the dominions have given pref erences to Great Britain, said Mr. Baldwin, but the opportunities of mutual preference have by no means been exhausted. Empire trade Is still only 30 percent among the British dominions and 70 percent with for eign countries. "The trend today," he said, ls to ward larger units. International trade is so hampered by barriers of all kinds that strong opinion Is de veloping in favor of groups not nec essarily political, but offering to members economic advantages In the mutual opening of markets. "In that belief," he continued, "Canada in the last two years has done as best she might to increase her power for self service and for Empire service. "Only the other day this govern ment concluded a treaty with our friends and neighbors, the United States of America, by which the St. Lawrence waterway and the Great lakes will be made into a great sea way through which the commerce of the Empire will be carried to the heart of this continent, and through which the products of this country will go out to all parts of the Em pire. "This waterway will be free to all ships of the commonwealth, And I believe will be the sure means by which the parts of the Empire will be brought still closer to one an other." One of the first acts of the con ference was to approve a message of loyalty to the king. The dele gates from the Irish Free State vot ed in favor of this action, and their vote was of particular Interest be cause of the controversy over Presi dent Eamon De Valera's attempt to abolish the oath of allegiance to the crown. King Georve V, In a message read by the governor's general, reminded the delegates they were writing on a new page of history and their ef forts might go far toward solving the economic troubles which weigh not only upon the British Empire but upon the rest of the world. The efforts of this conference, he said, should give full effect to the principle of cooperation upon which the Empire Is based. Continuation of ZOOK IS CHOICE (From page one) of the division of higher education ox the United States bureau ox edu cation from 1920 until 1929 when he was elected president of Akron uni versity. Decision of the state board to In vite Dr. Zook to Oregon is gener ally understood here to mean that the boom for the appointment of Dr. Kerr, originated by Corvallls and state college Influence and concur red In by a small group of Univers ity of Oregon alumni, has come to a definite end. Information "leaking" out of the executive session of the board is to the effect that the four-to-four deadlock among members of the board on the question of Dr. Kerr's appointment continued un broken up to the test, and that C. L. Starr, chairman, declined to agree to cast his vote for Kerr unless his election could be made unanimous and harmony In the future rela tions between the chancellor and the board thereby assured. Dr. Kerr Is also said to have advised the board that he did not care to accept the appointment unless a substantial majority of the board members would concur in his selection. Members of the board following the executive session, refused to dis cuss a report that E. C. Sammons and Mrs. Walter Pierce, served no tice upon their associates that In the event of Dr. Kerr's election both would resign from the board. Akron, O.. July 21 .Vi Dr. Geome P.
