Fourteen
Stocks Rally
Only to Fade
In Closing Hours
New York, Jan. 21 VP) An early
stock market rally, touched oil by
renewed strength In rall, faded In
the latter part of today's proceed
ings and gains running to a point
or more were substantially reduced
or transformed Into losses of as
much.
Prices were at the best In the fore
noon. Motors, lower throughout, weak
ened quickly and steels, trailing with
the carriers In the morning, soon
slipped Into the minus column. A
little bidding appeared In the final
hour and closing quotations were
above the laws In many Instances.
Transfers were around 600,000
shares compared with yesterday's
turnover of 377,000, smallest since
October 21.
Main market drawbacks, brokers
said, Included possible actual entry
of this country in the European war,
taxation problems, likelihood of ex
tensive administration controls of
Industry, and possibility of a coiv
gressional battle over the lend-lease
bill acting as a deterrent to re
armament.
Among shaky stocks were General
Motors, Chrysler, U. S. steel,
Youngstown Sheet, Westlnghouse,
du Pont, Allied Chemical, Anacon
da, Texas Corp., International Har
vester, Douglas Aircraft, Goodyear,
Western Union and Montgomery
Ward,
Up the greater part of the day
were Santa Fe, Southern Pacific,
Southern Railway, Great Northern,
Union Pacific, U. 8. Rubber Pre
ferred and Armour Preferred.
Bonds were fairly steady, with
rails and utilities doing better than
other loans.
Dow Jones preliminary closing
stock averages: Industrial 128.20, off
1.04; rail 28.90, up 0.05; utility 20.04,
Off 0.11; 69 stocks 43.30, off 0.25.
Stock sales approximated 680,000
shares compared with 380,000 yester
day when turnover was the small'
est since last October 1. Curb stock
sales were 08,000 shares against 89,'
000 yesterday.

Annual Session
Of Jersey Club
Here Saturday
The annual meeting of the Ore
gon Jersey Cattle club to be held
at Salem, Saturday, January 25,
promises to be one of interest to
all Jersey breeders of Oregon ac
cording to Oscar Hagg of Reedvllle,
president. Among the guest speak
ers will be Governor Charles A.
Sprague, Earl Snell, secretary of
state, and Prof. P. M. Brandt, head'
of the department of animal Indus-1
try, Oregon State college.
Last year national recognition was
given the state club's annual report
of activities when It was awarded
the Jersey Bulletin sliver trophy for
first place among similar clubs
throughout the country. This speaks
well for the Jersey breeders of Ore- i
gon and for the local and state
club secretaries who made the re
port through W. C. Leth,
T. R. warren, western fieldman
for the American Jersey Cattle
club, recently reported that more
than 2500 purebred Jerseys were
registered or transferred to new
owners during the past year. He al
so stated that of the 42 Jerseys that
have produced records above 1000
pounds of butterfat, 12 have been
developed In Oregon. Several herds
averaged over 600 pounds of butter
fat per cow on official test.
The national association report
further Indicates that during the
past year Oregon breeders had more
cows on official production test than
any other state except Ohio, that
only 10 states have recorded more
new Jersey breeders, and that only
12 states have been granted more
junior memberships. Mr. Warren
stated that 245 qualified Future
Farmer and 4-H club members had
been granted membership privileg
es during the year.
Matters slated to receive attention
include the improvement of the Pa
cific International exhibit; the ex
tension of the Jersey creamllne mar
keting program; and location of fu
ture annual meetings. Meetings are
now held regularly in Salem by au
thortly of the constitution whereas
it has been proposed that each of
the dairy breed association meetings
be held in conjunction with and
on the first day of the Oregon Fair
association meetings.
The state club is comprised of 12
county clubs of which the following
men are presidents and they serve
with state officers as a board of di
rectors; M. N. Tibbies, vice-president,
Independence; Jack Gribble,
Canby; Homer Shelby, Albany; Hen
ry Werner, Silverton; E. Mcllvenna,
5408 N.E. Masson, Portland; David

gon. Decline in
Wheat Prices
Chicago, Jan. 21 (U.R) Wheat pric
es declined about a cent a bushel
today. Rye was at a new low for the
season on July and September con
tracts.
Wheat ended the day with net
losses of to Ts cent. Corn was off
M to H, oats off H to rye off
1V4 to 1 and soy beans off 2-2.
Corn started steady but declined
in sympathy with wheat and under
moderate pressure from hedging In
terests. Liberal country offerings of
corn to arrive, 135,000 bushels, also
had a depressing effect. Demand
was mostly on resting orders. Re
ceipts on track were estimated at 51
cars. Sales by shippers at noon were
35,000 bushels.
Selling was led by a leading ele
vator Interest, resting orders to buy
checked the decline. Selling caused
a recession in the soy bean market
of better than 2 cents a bushel. The
market recovered a small part of
the loss.
Bill Would Cancel
Oregon Deportations
Washington, Jan. 21 (P) The
senate committee on immigration
has before It a bill (S314) by Sena
tor Clark D Ida.), which would
authorize the attorney general oi
the United States to cancel depor
tation proceedings against 64 Bas

Nevada and California.
A companion bill has been In
troduced by Representative Dwor-
shak (R.. Ida.)
The bill recited that the 64 were
"legally admitted as seamen but

and head taxes of $8 per person."

Lowdermilk to
Give Lecture
W. C. Lowdermilk, who has trav
eled over much of the world, ob
serving how agriculture and entire
civilizations have been wiped out
by soil erosion, will give an illus.
trated lecture at the Neighbors of
Woodcraft building in Portland
Friday, February 7, at 8 p. m. R. A,
Ward, manager of Pacific Wool
Growers, is sponsoring the appear
ance of Dr. Lowdermilk; and farm
ers, business men, teachers, stu
dents and all others Interested are
invited to attend the lecture.
"We feel most fortunate in hav
ing such an Internationally recog
nized authority bring his important
message to the northwest, e
plains Mr. Ward. "Last summer
when Dr. Lowdermilk made a lec
ture tour through the northwest his
appearances met with such favor
that he was induced to come back
for another series. His colored
slides and movies are especially
outstanding, showing how reckless
land use and erosion have changed
rich farming areas Into desert
wastes, with the forewarning les
son that Pacific northwest land
should be protected by sound con
servation practices before further
damage occurs here."
In his capacity as assistant chief
of the soil conservation service, Dr.
Lowdermilk recently was given a
special commission to study land
use and erosion conditions in other
countries for the U. S. department
of agriculture. His studies took him
into Libya, Egypt, Palestine, Al
geria, Tunisia, Trans-Jordan, Leb
anon, Syria, Iraq, and several Eur
opean countries. Formerly he made
five agricultural explorations in
China.
Dr. Lowdermilk points out that
the present emphasis on national
defense also should take Into ac
count the need for safeguarding this
country's farms and ranges against
wastage and ruin. "It Is well to
remember, In this connection, that
white we go through the formality
of buying defense guns and battle
ships and planes with money, these
armaments must in reality be paid
for out of the production of our soil
in the form of food and fiber. We
can maintain a strong nation only
by maintaining our soil resources
on a sound basis."

Wardlaw Talk
Stresses Crisis
Spokane, Jan. 21 (IP) In a pre
pared address which reflected
throughout Its length a sense of
crisis facing the country. Pres. C.
B. wardlaw of Del Rio, Texas,
opened the 76th National Wool
Growers' association convention
here today.
In the first paragraphs of the ad
dress, highlight of the opening ses
sion, Wardlaw asserted "the speed
and destructiveness of the war (in
Europe) have awakened the people
of this country to the necessity for
a real national defense program."
In the next paragraph, he added:
"No Individual and no organiza
tion should argue or protest at
length regarding loyalty to our
country and to the administrative
officials chosen by the people. ' The
national defense program will en
tail many sacrifices for the people
of this country, but I am con
fident the people of this country
will leave no stone unturned to do
their full part In carrying out the
defense program.
"And, I know the wool growers
will wholeheartedly and willingly do
their full part In carrying out the
defense program."
Two notes of criticism of the
federal administration entered into
the address, when the speaker re
ferred to the reciprocal trade agree
ments, "passed In spite of our best
efforts," and the farm credit ad
ministration, which was inducted
into the department of agriculture.
In his recommendations for the
future, Wardlaw urged the wool
growers to continue to fight against
the trade agreements and to work
for return of the F.C.A. to an in
dependent status.

18 Drowned in
Boston, Jan. 21 OT Eighteen men
drowned today, almost within sight
of their homes, as the Boston
schooner Mary E. O'Hara, homeward
bound from a week on the fishing
banks, was split open in a collision
as it approached Boston harbor,
and sank.
Five half-frozen survivors dragged
to safety from the protruding main
mast of the sunken schooner by the
crew of the trawler North Star told
their rescuers that the O'Hara ap
parently had struck a barge and
that the remainder of the crew of 23
had fallen, from the rigging one by
one, as their hands froze.
Brought ashore with their own
hands and feet frozen, half dead
from drenching and exposure, the
men said their schooner had sunk
so fast that there was no time even
to launch a dory, and that they had
fled Into the upper portions of the
rigging to cling there for three hours,
in the early morning darkness, from
3 a.m. until 6.
The faint cries of the survivors
were heard by members of the crew
of the North Star as they passed
Finn's Ledge, on the outer fringe of
Boston harbor, a dozen miles from
the city.
