Spinach Grown
At Walla Walla
Washington, April' 21 OT Chi
cagoans like a particular kind of
spinach, the federal trade commis
sion disclosed today In announc
ing a complaint that shippers, job
bers and a broker had conspired to
fix prices and restrict competition.
The commission said that the
spinach was the broad leaf type
grown almost exclusively In the
Walla Walla, Wash., region, and
that "large quantities are shipped
fresh to the Chicago market where
a sale for this particular type of
spinach Is readily found." The
bulk of the spinach Is sold directly
to canners.
The FTC said that Its complaint
named Pacific Fruit & Produce
company, Walla Walla Gardeners'
association, Mojonnier Sc Sons,
Inc., Walla Walla Produce com
pany and Ewlng M. Stephens and
Eugene Tausig, trading as Valley
Fruit company, all Walla Walla
shippers; C. H. Robinson company,
Minneapolis, Minn., broker, and
Robert M. Steinberg, manager of Its
Chicago branch, and four Chicago
Jobbers.
The complaint charged that the
Jobbers In accordance with an
'agreement, understanding, combi
nation and conspiracy" of all the
respondents fixed resale prices for
the produce purchased by them
from the shippers through C. H.
Robertson, the brokerage firm. The
shippers, It continued, entered into
an agreement whereby they shipped
all of their pack to the Jobbers ex
clusively through the Robinson
company.
It charged that pursuant to the
agreement the shippers fixed the
price paid for broadleaf spinach
to the growers and prorated the
tonnage throughout the season. '

Early Start
For Canneries
Now Expected
An unusually early start Is pre
dicted for the canning season this
year, barring vagaries of the wea
ther and cannerymen were predict
ing a start possibly as early as May
15 as compared to about June 1, the
average starting time. An exception
ally early bloom on the strawberries
Is expected to bring them Into the
canneries right along with the
gooseberries by the middle of next
month.
Gooseberries which always have
the honor of opening the fruit can
ning season here are reported to be
not showing an extra heavy bloom,
although they suffered no damage.
Nevertheless while the crop will not
be heavy It will be good, say can
ners. The strawberries also are looking
good as far as tonnage per acre Is
concerned. There was some frost
damage to the early bloom, but as
far as that is concerned canners
say this Is customary rather than
exceptional and that virtually every
year there Is some damage to the
early bloom but the percentage as
to the total crop Is generally so
small as to be negligible.
It Is stated that both Marshalls
and Red Hearts look as though
there will be a good yield. The Mar
shalls will open the season about
along with the gooseberries and It
Is expected the Red Hearts will start
about a week later. Loganberries
also are looked to for an early start
and to come along In June.
With possible exception of a few
small associations, report Is that the
strawberries are virtually all bought
up or under term or market price
contracts and that there are but a
few of them "without a home" tor
this season.

Road Improvement
Shortens Distance
Monmouth Upon completion of
a county road between Cooper Hol
low and Fern's Mill, the distance
between Falls City and Monmouth
will be shortened from three to five
miles.
Although the right-of-way has
been secured and the work started
the road will not be finished this
summer, due to a shortage of WPA
labor which was assigned the task
of clearing the new roadway of
stumps. Much work, however, will
be done during the coming months
on the cut-off. The new road leads
to the north thus eliminating the
steep grades of the Antloch and
Fishback hills.
Cherry Men
Eled Directors
Willamette Cherry Growers, Inc.,
at a meeting here Saturday re
elected director including James Im
lah, Frank Fanner, Albert Bouffleur
and Roy Jones and stockholders
heard reports from Robert Shinn,
manager, auditors and other offi
cers. Discussion among members Indi
cated that the general consensus as
to this year's cherry crop would
show a very light crop In the river
bottoms and on the valley floor due
mainly to frost damage while there
would be a spotted crop In the hills.
No frost damage was reported in the
hills but growers reported a spotted
condition anyway among the hill
orchards,
The general idea expressed was
that the crop would be considerably
lighter than last year. . .
Reports were made from other
areas Including one that California
Is conceding a very light crop, not
to exceed last year's very light pro
duction. From Yakima came a re
port Indicating a crop of from 25
to 30 per cent lighter than last year
and from The Dalles a crop about
the same as last year.
Like other crops it was indicated
the cherry crop would be very much
earlier than normal, possibly three
weeks earlier than the normal aver.
age. Figures shown by the manager
took 1937 as a normal season when
the first cherries were received
June 19 while last year the peak
was on June 19, showing last year
as an early season and this one
probably somewhat similar.
Ample Space for

letter. ! ,
The army desires to bivouac

(Continued from page 1)
conformity with the movement of
the Greek army fighting on their
left."
Australian and New Zealand
troops executed "brilliant" rear
guard actions which inflicted a
heavy toll on the Germans, the
British communique said.
The London radio declared that
the new line "Is unbroken" and
said the German assault was prov
ing so costly that the nazts had to
throw In still more reinforce
ments In mechanized units, infan
try and aircraft."
Bulgars Invading
Meanwhile, a Havas (French
news agency)' dispatch from Sofia
said the Bulgarian army started
this morning to occupy sections of
northern Greece and fallen Yugo
slavia. Greece's King George n called
on his troops to fight "to the very
end" amid allied reverses which
saw the Germans break through
northern mountain defenses on the
Mt. Olympus-Ioannlan front. Re
portedly capture Larlssa and Trik
kala, and storm down the flat plain
of Thessaly toward historic Ther
mopylae. Trlkkala is a control point of the
railway through central Greece
from Salonika to Volos, on the
Aegean. .
Hitler Directing
With Hitler himself directing the
blitz from a railway car somewhere
in the Balkans, the German high
command asserted that nad me
chanized forces were driving south
"far beyond Larlssa" in pursuit M
retreating British and Greek
troops.
A Greek communique, however,
declared that the new allied line
was holding doggedly under violent
assault, and that nowhere had the
Germans knifed through,
"Other German forces advancing
across the Plndus mountains to the
west took a mile-high pass near
Metsovon, 40 miles northwest of
Trlkkala," the nazl high command
said. '
"In Albania, Italian troops in a
further advance reached the Greek
border at many points."
Italian Claims
Italian press dispatches said "a
big battle to wipe out the Greek
army" was raging at Peratl bridge,
which spans the Vlosa river at the
Greek-Albanian frontier.
Italian dive-bombers were said
to have destroyed the bridge, trap
ping the Greeks on the Albanian
side; but the Greeks declared that
they had stemmed fascist attaoks In
the west. - : ',
The Germans asserted that Brit
ish troops were retreating toward
harbors In southern Greece, and
nazl dispatches from the front
again spoke of "a second , Dun
kerque" a reference to the British-French
withdrawal from the
Battle of Flanders last summer. '
Stefanl, the official Italian news
agency, declared Jubilantly that
the Greek army was losing "four
fifths of its permanent forces and
all the war material supplied by
Britain." . .' ..,
The news agency said that the
Greek route of retreat, on the road
from Ioannina to Arta,. 35 . miles
south, was littered with the wreck
age of hundreds of motor vehicles,
and that the "entire encampments
have been thrown into confusion,
masses of troops scattered, and
supply services destroyed."
