art vane of lc pound with the ex
ception of first whirh rase He
pound, was made at the week-end
session of the produce exchange.
Butterfat buying price advanced
1c pound along with butter.
Market for ckkr Is holding much
the same as during the last few
days. Little chanpe In either buy
ing or selling prices has been shown
during the week. The demand lor
storaee remains favorable.
Indicating a somfwhut better sit
uation Is the announcement of Swift
Ac Co., of an advance of 1 r pound

ported above supply.
At the week-end there was a well
hel-i price on utriv, berries with
Cahfnrii'iin p nerr.llv c-ntinu'-d
around $1.25 rrate for 24s while
Orer-on was $2 for the best. Qual
ify better all around.
Hie her p.lces have been forced In
asparagus as a result of the liberal
carload demand from the east which
mid-Columbia shippers are making
a desperate effort to fill.
Fir.st arrival of new white po
tatoes of the season is reported in
from Khaftcr, Calif- somewhat ear
lirr than usual. This gives the new
potato trade a supply from various
sections of the south and southwest
DOLLAR FALLS
IN GOLD TERMS
New York, April 21 (LP) The dol
Ictr continued to decline in terms
of principal gold currencies today.
It was near levels at which It would
be profitable to export gold to Eu
rope.
The French franc opened at 8.61
cents, up l'i points from yesterday's
close, and within a point or so of
the level at which it would be prof'
liable to ship American gold to Eu
rope. As the franc rises more dollars
can be bought for a given number
of francs. The dollars then are con
verted Into gold at the treasury, and
the gold shipped to France where
It can be converted back into francs
at the Bank of France.
When the franc level Is high
enough to result In obtaining more
francs for the gold than were spent
to buy the dollars in the first place,
gold will be taken from the United
States. The same applies to other
gold standard currencies.
At today's franc level tlie dollar
would be worth 99.31 cents In the
new gold parity on the basis of gold
at $35 per ounce. Franc parity is
6.1)3 3-8 cents.
The pound sterling eased a cent
Irom yesterdays close to $5.16
and the Scandinavian units eased
with it. The Canadian dollar firm
ed cent to $1.00V
NEW TECHNIQUE
IS SAVING LIVES
Moscow UP) A new technique
for major abdominal 0erations.
which its originator believes will
save many lives, recently has been
perfected by a Soviet surgeon, Pro
fessor 8. I. Spaso-Kukotsky.
The surgeon, after years of prac
tice, became convinced that many
patients died from stomach opera
tions because they were deprived
of food for some hours before go
ing under the knife. Consequently,
he reasoned, vitality was exhausted
and the formation of dangerous
acids In the intestines was facili
tated. In his earlier attempts to coun
teract this condition, SjMiso-Kukot-sky
introduced into the Intestines,
following the operation, a "break
fast" of spirits, butter, eggs and
milk. He estimated that half a liter
of tlil.s concoction continued 4.000
calories. As a result of restoring
the patient's vigor by this nutri
tious food, the surgeon estimated
that he reduced fatalities from ab
dominal operations from 16 to 4.1
per cent.
Lately, Rpjso-Kukotsky even has
gone further and has begun feed
ing patients a liu-ht but nutritious
diet in advance ol the operation
As a result, he contents that the
patient Is put In a condition to
permit oerations with local rather
than general anesthetics.
Spaso-Kukotskv's technique, it Is
understood, is being adopted by a
nutnuer or oilier Soviet surgeons.
Fish Output Ahead

Fan Francisco. Cal. (tP) From
Ban Francisco to New York and re
turn on sardine cans! It could be
done, for if all the one-pound oval
aardine cans packed In California
were placed end to end they would
make a straight line 6.000 miles
long. And to move all tlie canned
fish, fish oil, fish meal and other
fish products would require 5.800
freight cars. California Is far ahead
of Its 1932 output, ten varieties of
alt water fish used for canning
and manufacture of fishery pro
ducts showed a 35 per cent Increase
for 1J3.

New York. April 21 UP) Stocks
fluctuated Irregularly t;dav as the

its official dcvuluai ion early in

For a time the dollar was at
levels which would nuke profitable
export of gold to Europe. It ral
lied quickly, however, and toward
the close of the stock market it was
ai,'iiin above the gold shipping
point. Meanwhile there was con
siderable uncertainty as to the gov
ernment position with regard to
further gold price advances. It was
indicated the admiinMratUm was
adver.se to a change at this time
and that it was likewise against a
silver legislation.

Commodities aside from silver
were steady to firm. Wheat rose

futures were strong.
Steel stocks were firm at the out

made new highs. Other carriers

Several special Issues made new

LOANS TO CHINA
HELD DIVERTED
Washington. April 21 (LP) Indica
tions that proceeds from United
States cotton and wheat loans to
China had been used for political
purposes which Increased threats
against Asiatic peace, were behind
Japan's restatement of China poli
cy, Ambassador Hiroshl Saito told
the United Press today.
Saito said that most commercial
loans to China eventually find
there w-ay into military use, which
was particularly disturbing to Japan
as a neighbor. For this reason Japan
proposed in Its restatement of pol
icy that the powers take care about
what kind of aid they give China.
Tlie reconstruction finance cor
poration last year advanced $50,000,-
000 for wheat and cotton sales to
China. Only about $10,000,000 was
used.
Japan has no Intention of closing
the "open door" of trade with China
to other nations, the ambassador
said, but only wishes that China
shall not rely upon distant nations,
whose Interests are less Involved
than Japan's, for military assistance
disturbing to general Oriental tran
quility.
The ambassador cited recent avia
tion expansion in China and fears
of some Japanese that this might
be turned on them.

KING ALBERT
KEEPS PROMISE
Cologne (LP) The strange story
of an International boundary, which
resulted from personal gratitude,
has Just come to light here.
It throws a new light on the
character of the late King Albert
of the Belgians.
Shortly before the World war Al
bert was making a tour of the Bel
gian eastern frontier, when he sud
denly was affected with a severe
inflammation of the tonsils.
His physician recommended an
Immediate operation by a German
surgeon at Aachen, near the fron
tier, who was renowned for his
throat operations. Tiie physician
was summoned; successfully remov
ed the tonsils; the King, in addition
to presenting him with a handsome
fee, assured him that If In the fu
ture he ever was able to do him a
favor, he would gladly.
The promise was forgotten during
the war, but with the Armistice
new frontiers were arranged which
would have placed the surgeon's
country home within Belgian terri
tory. The stirgeon did not wish to be
come a Belgian subject. He remem
bered the King's promise and wrote
him, asking If anything could be
done to keep the land German.
The King had not forgotten. The
result of the request was a large
curve In the Belgian frontier which
restored the property to German
territory.

ACTION NOTED
IN HOP TRADING
Pacific coast hop markets, par
ticularly in Oregon and Washing
ton, developed sharply increased ac
tivity during the week ended April
19, under the Influence of an Im
proved domestic demand as the re
sult of warmer weather, according
to the weekly hop market review of
the United States bureau of agri
cultural economics. Sales by grow
ers in the three coast states during
the period totaled around 1,700
bales, and constituted the heavi
est movement for several weeks
past. Prices held about unchanged
from those which have prevailed
during recent weeks, ranging from
20c to 30c per pound, net to grow
ers, with the wide variation de
pending upon quality, and to some
extent the district where grown.
Tlie improved domestic inquiry was
attributed to heavier needs of brew
ers as the result of warmer weath
er, with consequent Improvement in
beer consumption.
Oregon markets were quite ac
tive during the week as the result
of a materially Improved domestic
inquiry. Various lots, consisting of
34 bales, 69 bales, 125 bales, 25 bales,
45 bales and 73 bales, totaling 371
bales, of 1933 crop fair prime qual
ity clusters, netted growers 25c per
pound. Two hundred and seventy-
six bales of good mediums brought
grower 22c, with 133 bales of about
the same quality netting 22 '.ic, and
93 bales bringing 23c per pound.
Fifteen bales of baby" hops net
ted grower 20 cents per pound.
These sales reached a total of 886
bales, the heaviest in Oregon mar
ket for some weeks. No interest
in term contracts was reported in
Oregon during the period, and in
quiry for older growth hops was
lacking. Trade advices continued
to indicate that Oregon producers,
particularly those with top quality
hops, were maintaining a firm
holding tendency, and the lack of
selling pressure was an important
factor In the current market situa
tion, which was steady to firmer.
Oregon crop prospects thus far were
reported as generally favorable.

CLOSED BANK
BILL REPORTED
Washington, April 21 (IP) The
house banking and currency com
mittee favorably reported today ar.u
the McLeod bank deposit "payoif"
bill In revised form, - a procedure
which it Is believed will block a vot-j
on the original measure by the peti
tion route Monday.
The committee had taken similar
action earlier this week but due to
the fact the house was in ssesion
at the time, the report was nulli
fied, forcing reconsideration re
sulting in today's second report.
The measure as repor .ed is along
the lines of the Brown payoff" bill,
for full payoff of s.at and national
closed bank deposits of $2,500 or
less..
Rep. .Tesse P. Wolcott, R.. Mich,,
advocate of the McLeod bill said In
his opinion the action "blocks a
vote on the McLeod petition." How
ever Speaker Henry T. Rainey prob
ably will be asked to rule Monday
on whether the petition is void. He
indicated today he would rule the
petition "dead." Sponsors of the
legislation may force a house vote
on his ruling.
Twelve of the 15 members of the
committee present were unofficially
said to have voted for the favor
able report, and the remaining three
votingf "present."
STRAWBERRY WAGES
UP TO DISTRICTS
Wages paid Oregon strawberry
pickers this season will be set in
each district of the state, it was de
cided at a meeting of 60 growers
and cannery representatives with
State Labor Commissioner Charles
H. Gram.
Although the berry season Is only
two weeks distant, growers stated
they could not determine what they
could afford to pay because can
nery operators have made no con
tracts for taking the crops. Coop
erative canneries will not make re
turns to members for several
months.
A proposal to pay pickers 25 per
cent of the price received, plus a
bonus for staying all season, was
voted down. Representatives from
Grcsham, Woodburn, Scio, Lebanon
and La comb were present.
Berry crop prospects were de
clared very pood because of lack of

SEA DEMENS
C
New York UP) Three weird deni
zens of (he sea, hitherto unknown
to scientists, have bevn found among;
the lisius obtained lrom the deep
waters of the Atlantic off Puerto
Rico.
Described by Dr. George S. My
ers, atfcistant curator, division of
fishes, of the U. S. National Mu
seum, tiie first has been named
Johnsonlna eriomma. It is the "big
eye" fish. Each eye is about one
fifth as long as the diameter of the
body. A man's eyes, tn the samo
ratio, would be about a foot Umg
and about eight inches high. In
addition, this creature has two fafe
eyes on its side near the tail.
Unless they are intended to de
ceive tlie creature's enemies, tha
purpose of these false eyes is not
known. Their existence would not
have been detected had it not been
for a painting of the fish by FJI
Cheverlange, artist of the Johnson
Smithsonian Deep Sea expedition,
as soon as It was dragged from
depth of some 150 or 300 fathoms.
Incidentally, at such a depth, which
is just about on the borderline of
eternal darkness, eyes would be of
little service to an animal. Only
one other such "eye-fish" has been
discovered about a half a century
ago.
A second stranee creature of the
depths is called Peristedlon barts
chl. nnd is a unique "armored" gur
nard. It is a bottom dweller and Ita
v hole body Is armored with spiny
nlates bearing a very sharp spine
:ibout a quarter of an inch long.
There are nearly a hundred of these
on the body of this particular fish,
and to top otf Its threat to other
fishes it is colored brirht red.
