Eight
Stocks Decline
Irregularly
In Light Trading
New York, Aug. 10 U.B
Trading on the stock market to
day dwindled to around the
lightest levels of the year as
market operators awaited defin
ite indications of the trend of
the battle on the Russian front,
details of the Solomon Islands
fight and outcome of the strife
in India.
Leading issues moved nar
rowly and the major groups had
minor declines. Modest demand
continued for liquor issues.
Steels were very dull with
prices steady to firm. A few
sales of automobile stocks left
this group at levels slightly
above the previous close. Bail
road stocks generally were quiet
and narrowly mixed. Commun
ications held around the prev
ious close, oils eased, and air
line stocks gained. Leading
coppers had minor gains. Utili
ties slipped back in the average.
Mercantlles were easier in most
instances and farm shares stea
dy. Some selling came into Good
year Tire when directors cut
the dividend to 25 cents a share
from 37 cents a share and re
ported net profit equal to $1.24
a share In the first half against
$2.23 in the 1941 period. The
issue met support after touching

Sales on the big board totaled
209,941 shares against 212,250
last Friday, the smallest for any
full session, with the exception
of July 1, this year, since Aug.
26, 1940. On the New York curb
exchange sales were 42,205
shares compared with 40,470

Plenty of Bean
Pickers Show-up
An unusual situation devel
oped in the labor market this
morning when 200 more bean
pickers than there was demand
for reported at the employment
office, South Cottage and Ferry
streets. "The situation was
quite different from that which
existed a year ago, W. H. Baillie,
employment officer admitted.
"However, we are ndt slapping
ourselves on the back, but rea
lize the condition has been
brought about through weather
conditions which have retarded
the growing season."
It Is expected beans will be
reaching their maturity more
rapidly later in the week and
by next Monday it may be that
the supply of pickers will not
be equal to the demand. In
several yards, owners have es
tablished camping facilities and
secured the services o entire
families in advance of the pick
ing season.
Baillie visited the Wm. Mc
Gilchrist, Jr., bean yard in Mis
slon Bottom and reported the
finest crop he has yet seen. A
double platoon of 00 boys and
girls with two adult leaders is
making a remarkable showing
there, he reported. Two new
platoons were sent to the Grand
Island sector this morning. These
groups report at 6:30 each morn
ing and work until 5 p.m.
Establishment of a fifth sub
employment office was announc
ed today by Baillie, This one
is located at Dallas and will ope
rate through the hop and prune
season. Others are located at
Woodburn, West Stayton, Tur
ner and Independence. An as
sistant Is to be sent to the Inde
pendence branch to assist in the
early hop season.
Farmers Displeased
With Light Drizzle
Ablqua The drizzling rain of
Sunday was not welcomed by
the Ablqua ranchers who arc
commercializing on a seed crop
for southern markets from their
legumes and Willamette nnd
hairy vetch.
After the crop, swatched for
drying prior to threshing or
combining, reaches a ccrtnin
stage of dryness, if It becomes
damp and dries the second time,
the seed pods open and the seeds
are scattered and tho crop les
sened or lost entirely. Market
managers In the south are anx
ious for the entire crop of seed
raised In the Abiqua section.
Albert Nerlson is specializing
in Willamette vetch and has
Bmall acreages of hairy vetch
and legumes, tho Schlcdlers of
Mt. Angel and the Hcrigstad
Brothers are among the largest
growers, with Ted Lorenzcn and
Leslie Brown among numerous
other growers on a smaller
scale.

Kicks on Absence
Of Telegraph
Messengers
New York, Aug. 10 VP) Tele
graph messengers should con
fine themselves to delivering tel
egrams, not singing them, says
Joseph P. Selly.
Furthermore, they shouldn't
be called on to take the dog out
for a walk or make a fourth at
bridge.
Selly, who is president of the
American Communications as
sociation (CIO), demands the
immediate elimination of such
services on the ground they con
stitute a serious impediment to
war time communications.
"The telegraph industry is a
war industry," he wrote in
letter to Chairman James L. Fly
of the federal communications
commission in which he cited al
leged instances of official mess
ages being delayed for many
hours.
"Over its circuits travel mes
sages which make possible our
whole complex manufacturing
and distributing systems. No
impediments should be permit
ted to hold telegraph operations
during war time below the max
imum level of efficiency.
"The most obvious impedi
ment of a maximum level of ef
ficiency for war time communi
cations is continued handling of
fixed-text messages, dog-walk
ing, singing telegrams and oth
er non-essential services."
Both Western Union and Post
al Telegraph spokesmen, when
approached on the matter, said
special services never were al
lowed to interfere with official
messages.
Split Income
Taxes Favored
Washington, Aug. 10 (U.R) The
senate finance committee today
voted 11 to 4 to permit husbands
and wives in so-called commu
nity property states to continue
to split thlr income for federal
tax purposes.
Under present law, married
couples in community property
states may split1 their income
and each file individual returns
on half of their total income.
This reduces their total taxes.
The treasury wanted the income
to be reported by the spouse who
earns it, or be reported in a joint
return. It estimated this would
bring in $85,000,000.
The committee, however, vot
ed against further consideration
of the plan. In effect it thus
rejected the .treasury proposal.
The action was a sequel to the
committee's earlier decision to
eliminate from consideration a
treasury proposal to require
mandatory joint returns from
married couples as a feature of
the $6,270,900,000 war revenue
bill.
Community property states
are California, Texas, Louisiana,
Arizona, New Mexico, Idaho and
Washington.
The four who voted in favor
of considering the proposal were
reported to be Chairman Walter
F. George (D., Ga.), and Sena
tors Robert M. La Follctte, (P.,
Wis.), Arthur H. Vandenberg (R.
Mich.), and Peter G. Gerry (D.,
R.I.).

Prices Fixed for
Prune Market
Washington, Aug. 10 VP) The
agriculture marketing adminis
tration told Senator McNary R
Ore.), that if the support prices
for prunes were applied to the
1942 production it should result
in farm prices of $130 to $135 a
ton in California and $140 to
$145 a ton in the Pacific north
west.
The AMA last June announc
ed support prices for prunes
which it said would result in
prices of 5Vi cents a pound in
the northwest. The price was
based on prunes running 80 to
the pound, with $1 a ton deduct
ed when the count was higher
and $1 a ton added when the
count was lower. It said the
support would cause prunes
running 60 to 65 a pound to
bring 6Vi cents in the Pacific
northwest.
The AMA said the details of
its dried prune purchase pro
gram were expected to be an
nounced within a week.

urday Evening Post, "Uncle
Sam Presents" features gripping
dramas of aviation cadet life,

Child Awaits
Removal of
Can Opener
Philadelphia, Aug. 10 (U.R)
Blue-eyed Sharon Bell, 4-year-old
daughter, of a Vancouver,
B. C, policeman, rested com
fortably at Temple university
hospital today as physicians of
the world-famed branchoscopic
clinic prepared to remove a can
opener from her throat.
The object, a metal key-type
can opener, lodged in the girl's
throat a week ago,
Three operations for its re
moval in Vancouver failed and
she was rushed by plane, taxi,
train and ambulance to the Dr.
Chevalier Jackson bronchosco
pe clinic at Temple university
hospital.
Dr. C. L. Morris said the girl
was in no immediate danger and
that the operation would be de
layed until she recovered from
the rigor of her journey and
until a thorough study of the
can opener's position in her
throat had been made. An x-ray
examination was underway.
The child was brought to Phil
adelphia by an aunt, Mrs. Eileen
Burchison. The plane in which
they flew from Vancouver to
Toronto was filled with army
officers, who drew lots to deter
mine which would surrender
his seat. Sharon and her aunt
rode eastward in the seat as
signed to Lieut. Edward Soule of
the Canadian army.
They changed planes in Tor
onto and flew on to La Guardia
field, New York. There a taxi
cab met them for a quick trip
to Pennsylvania station and a
train to Philadelphia. An am
bulance met the train here and
10 minutes later Sharon was
tucked in bed with two dolls and
a stuffed toy Panda, compan
ions on her long trip.
Sharon complained but little
over her difficulty in breathing,
but resented being fed through
the nose.
Crop Prospects
Best on Record
Washington, Aug. 10 (U.B The
department of agriculture today
indicated a total national corn
production this year of 2,753,
696,000 bushels. This compared
with the July 1 forecast of 2,
627,823,000 bushels.
The indicated corn yield per
acre was set at 30.8 bushels.
The wheat indication is for
production of 955,172,000 bush
els, the department said. Of this
figure winter wheat will con
tribute 697,708,000 bushels, or
a yield of 19.2 bushels per acre.
The spring wheat production is
expected to reach 257,464,000
or 18.2 bushels per acre, the de
partment said.
The oats production Indica
tion is for 1,331,511,000 bushels,
it said.
The report said crop prospects
in the United States are. the best
on record for this time of year.
Growing conditions during July
were outstandingly favorable
for cotton.
Corn deteriorated locally from
dry weather in the south but
improved markedly in the north
where earlier weather was too
cool. The present estimate of
the crop is 126,000,000 bushels
above expectations a month ago
and would be the largest corn
crop since 1932. This fits in
well with a program which calls
for the fattening of the largest
livestock herds on record.
Allotments of
Sugar Increased
Industrial and institutional
users of sugar are granted sub
stantial increases in their re
spective allotments during the
period of July through October,
according to instructions re
ceived by the Marlon county ra
tioning board here. Registra
tion is necessary every two
months.
The industrial increase is 10
percent and that for institution
al use is 25 percent for the period.
To qualify registration must be
made before September 2 with a
penalty to be added for every
day of delay. Those registering
will not be required to wait as
the board will have special re
gistrars available for this spe
cific purpose.
