WL PROGRAM BY PRODUCERS PROPOSES POOL Portland.

The proposal for production re strictions is designed ultimately to stabilize the entire Industry. Tlie producers and distributors who heard the plan today were said to have given almost unanimous ap proval. Possible modification will de pend upon data submitted by inter ested factors. The plan provides for control and regulation of surplus production for the Portland sales area. The board will, prior to February 10, if the plan is adopted, provide for payment to all producers shipping grade B milk or cream into this area on a unt form pooling bas.r, and will provide for establishment of uniform basic averages for each producer after February 1 of payment of basic and surplus prices. To effect this control a pooling agency will be designated by the board. MJk dealers will be ordered to make no payments for grade B milk or cream received by them on and after February 1 until this ag ency is organized. For the restriction of production In this area, the plan provides that "no grade A raw milk and cream which is not produced within the Portland grade A raw milk shed, shall be sold in the Portland area, unless the Fame is produced by grade A raw producer-distributors who were actually selling grade A milk or cream in the Portland sales area on December 15. 1933."

They held two watchmen at pistol point os the pair made their tour of that section of the show in which the police exhibit was quart ered. The watchmen Luelen Herkian and George Mason said the gun men took their time about break ing open packing boxes and ripping open the rear door of a state police radio car in llieir search for weap ons. They said one of the trio looked Into the gasoline tank oi the police portable radio station and remarked, as he turned away from the truck, "We'd take this too if It had any gas in the tank." The exhibition floor was dimly lit, the watchmen said, and they were unable to give an accurate description of the three robbers. A hasty checkup of the police exhibit revealed the following weapons and ammunition missing: One Thompson machine gun f navy type i , four shot guns ( riot type), one 38 mm gas rifle, six Mills bombs, six gas shells for use in n pistol, and four 38 mm gas shells.

Representatives attended from Oregon, Washing ton, Idaho and Montana fruit grow ing areas. Paul A. Schcrer, Medford, Ore., president of the control committre, :iaid he believed greatly increased prices of all varieties of fruit over thoe received for previous years' crop were due largely to market ing control and minimum price regulations. The committee considered charg es that two Yakima shippers sold quantities of "C" grade apples con trary to marketing control regula tions and that they refused to make daily sales reports to tlie bureau of agricultural economics as re quired by the marketing agreement and license. The committee, following a hear ing, recommended that the secre tary of agriculture should suspend their federal licenses and require payment of reparation.

"This catastroplie we regard as constituting a national emergency problem of a type which warrants and necessitates special treatment of both public and industrial agen cies," the report said. Using the Oregon situation as an example, the committee recommend ed that the lumber code authority shift production allotments in this and similar cases to "permit It to be marketed with minimum loss."
