Labor Standards The Walsh-Healey act permits the government to fix the labor standards of private employers on government contracts. This has re sulted In widespread application of the 40-hour week with time and one-half for overtime. Compton ordered as the first move toward speeding up defense work that where possible plants should step up to a two-shift basts. Where three shifts already are be ing worked "all practicable steps shall be taken to eliminate the 'bot tle necks'." "The shipbuilding yards he con tinued, "should be able to Increase their civilian forces by at least 15,- 000 within three months.' RFC to Assist Asked to the president's meeting were Chairman Walsh (D-Mass) of the senate committee, Chairman Vinson (D-Ga) of the house com mittee, Admiral Harold R. Stark, chief of naval operations; Rear Ad miral John H, Towers, chief of the navy aeronautics bureau, and Rear Admiral Ben Morrell, chief of the bureau of yards and docks. Meantime the government pled ged full credit backing today to American Industry enlisting In the national defense drive. Simultaneously, there were signs that the administration was recon sidering its decision to defer the question of financing until the next session of congress. Indications were that congress soon might re ceive a request to Increase the $45, 000,000,000 federal debt limit pos sibly by $1,000,000,000. The debt now is approaching $43,000,000,000. Cattlemen May Have Good Season Eastern Oregon cattlemen will ex perience a profitable season this year if present conditions, including pric es, continue, reports Director J. D. Mickle of the state department of agriculture, who returned to his of fice Monday morning after spend ing; a week In eastern Oregon. He was accompanied by Cecil Edwards, secretary to Governor Sprague. Mickle said range conditions are fine, hay crops look excellent and water conditions are splendid thus far. Mickle and Edwards were both on the program for the convention of the Oregon Cattle and Horse Rais ers association at Pendleton May 15 and 16 and from there they went into Grant, Malheur and Harney counties to visit game reserves and horse and cattle ranches. At Whiiehorse ranch, In the southeastern part of Harney, Mickle said he slept in a sod house for the first time in his life. In the horse raising sections they visited, more attention Is paid now to the saddle type horse, with em phasis on thoroughbred stock for saddle and cavalry horses.

Associated Press Photo. Nervous Trend Affects Wheat Chicago, May 21 (U.R) Nervous tension affected the wheat market today and prices fluctuated rapid ly over a wide range. Price levels during most of the session were sub stantially below Monday's close. Wheat closed 1 to 2',i cents low er, May 82. Corn was down V. to cent, May 634; oats V to VM cents lower, May 38'i A, and rye 2i to 2 cents lower. May 4514B, Soy beans were off to 2 cents, May 91 A. Minneapolis and Kansas City wheat followed the movement at Chicago but Winnipeg was unable to take advantage of the firmer spots. Tlie July contract at Winni peg reached the pegged minimum level during the session. Corn generally reflected the ac tion of wheat. There was fair lo cal support and some buying at tributed to cash interests. Failure of wheat to maintain higher levels Induced selling in corn. Shipping sales were 26,000 and purchases to-arrlve 38.000 bushels. Receipts were 23 cars. Liquidation of May contracts and fair pressure on the October deliv ery combined with surrounding weakness to depress soy beans to the minimum levels allowed under the peg- July dipped to within cent of the bottom. Flying Shoemaker Skates Into Salem Oregon's new processing of high ways may be fine for motorist, but It is not so "hot" for roller skates, according to Johnny Balazs, the "flying shoemaker," who rolled Into town this morning from Eugene on another leg of a 25,000 mile skate through the 48 states and Canada. The "Hurrying Hungarian," as he Is termed, left Los Angeles April 25 and expects to be on the road for a year, financing his trip through ap pearances at skating rinks. Balazs uses 14-pound skates which he has made himself, using inside rollers of old bowling pins with spe cial steel cut for ball bearings and a steel rim on the outside of the wheels. He says he gets from 600 to 700 miles out of each wheel and to assure of a supply carries eight spares.

ANTWERP MILES Cattle Rustling Being Combatted Cheyenne, Wyo., May 21 (Ri gorous enforcement of existing reg ulatory measures to control the transportation of livestock by truck, the operation of auction sales and inspecting of brands was Indirectly recommended today by a special committee of the American Nation al Livestock association as a means of combatting cattle thefts. Releasing Its report after weeks of careful study, a three-man co ordinating committee of the asso ciation's committee on brand In spection and livestock theft, said there were sufficient laws to govern the problem but that the enforce ment of these regulations was "woe fully lax." "The lack of cooperation In brand inspection and livestock trucks mov ing interestate Is decidedly In evi dence," the report said. "The indus try Is confronted with the rapid development of auction sales and the transportation of livestock by truck, both of which have material ly complicated the regulation and control of livestock." The coordinating group, headed by Howard Linger of Hooper, Colo., vice president of the Colorado Stock Growers association, made 15 rec ommendations to the full committee covering the regulation of livestock at markets, stock movements by truck, auction sales and the ap pointment and training of brand inspectors. For the control of stock at mar ets, It proposed that all brand In spection agencies be registered as a market agency under the provisions of the packers and stock yards act; that all states enact laws governing interstate movement of stock, and maintain joint or private inspectors at all public markets; and that all states work for passage of uniform rules for the proper determination of ownership.
