Rush to Unload
Livestock Jams
Stockyards
Chicago, Sept. 2 (IP) A rush
to unload livestock has sent
nearly twice as many meat pro
ducing animals to major markets
in the first two days of this
week as in the corresponding
period last year, agricultural de
partment statistics disclosed to
day.
Hog, cattle and sheep bins
from Buffalo to Denver, and as
far south as Fort Worth, have
handled a huge number of meat
animals for this time of year.
Normally the runs during the
first week of September are up
only slightly from the low
months of July and August.
The expansion over 1941 am
ounted to 87 per cent for all
animals. Sheep were up 149
per cent, hogs 98 per cent and
cattle 46 per cent. A major
part of the increase occurred
Monday, with a decline noted
yesterday in response to lowered
prices. '
Factors combining to create
the heavy outpouring, in the op
inion of livestock men, were:
First, ' the large number of
meat producing animals on
farms and ranches.
Second, the unprecedented
demand for meat, which has
made processors anxious to ob
tain as much livestock as they
can handle.
Third, the threat of- ceilings
over livestock prices, which has
stimulated marketing earlier
than usual.
Although the large runs may
have a temporarily beneficial
effect on the meat shortage, Jive
stock men warned that heavy
shipments of cattle were not as
favorable, from the long term
viewpoint, as might at first ap
pear. Many cattle are going to mar
ket with less weight than nor
mal, they said, and there are
fewer head being fattened on
farms for next year than was
the case at this time in 1941.
U-Boat Captain
Visits Portuguese Ship
Lisbon, Sept. 2 (IP) The crew
of the Portuguese freighter Sarti
Miguel said on arrival today
from the United States that a
German submarine stopped them
outside Baltimore on July 19,
telling them that those waters
were "strongly mined." .
The U-boat captain said he
had sunk four ships, including
the Greek steamer Leonidas M.
and told Capt. Antonio Dionisio
where he could pick up the sur
vivors. The crew said the U-boat
captain made a "cordial" visit
aboard the San Miguel, then al
lowed the ship to proceed unmo
lested to Baltimore. .
Capt. Dionisio said he picked
up 29 survivors of the Greek
ship and landed them in Balti

get it to those men alternately
roastinj and freezing on the
desert, crawling through
swamps, in South Pacific is

Charles L. McNary (R., Ore.)
today announced that a decision
likely will not be made before
January on a special ' postage
stamp issue to commemorate the
centennial of the first provis
ional government of Oregon.
Sen. McNary said he has re
ceived a letter from Ramsey
Black, third assistant postmas
ter general, stating that favor
able action was improbable be
cause the . Oregon territorial
stamp issue in 1936 was "of the
same general character."

hand conditions in all the war
ring nations and on most of the
major battle fields o: the world
is not a pretty one.
Citing desert conditions in
the Libyan fighting, he said
that it is nearly 115 degrees
in the shade in the desert and
almost 200 degrees inside a tank.
Water is rationed at a pint a
day. Some of the precious drops
are sipped and if it can be
spared, a shave is obtained with
a few more and possibly
sponge bath' with the dampened
end of a towel to open ,the pores
clogged by dust.
"Ma' e no mistake about the
kind of people you are facing
in this war," Pinkley asserted.
"They will do anything and ev
erything to win it. They will not
count the cost in lives and sac
rifice.
"The only way the United
Nations are going to win is to
take off the kid gloves and
forget the rules. . The only way
to beat Germany, prime mover
in the axis lineup, is to sink
their ships, grind their troops
into dust and blast their air
armadas out of the sky. Strength
brute strength is the only
language our enemies under
stand. .
Fifty Nations Visited
"I've visited nearly 50 for
eign nations this past year, and
I am convinced that while the
governments of each of the Uni
ted Nations 'have many fine
points, there is no form of gov
ernment that gives so much as
our American democracy. De
mocracy fails only when those
living under it fail to realize
their responsibilities as demo
cratic citizens."
Pinkley believes that Japan
will attack Russia only when
she "feels that the back of the
Bear is broken," and then prob
ably only that section border
ing the Pacific. He hazarded a
guess that, even after Germany
is "licked," the Japanese will
keep, fighting on "until the last
dog is hung."
Pinkley, who has traveled
more han 175,000 miles since
the outbreak of the second
world war, of which 68,000
miles were covered in the past
ten months, is an aviation con
vert. Airplanes can turn the
balance of power , on any given
front, he believes, and therein
lies victory.

Minimum on
Apples May
Be Increased
Washington, Sept. 2 (IP) The
office of price administration
announced today it would per
mit apple processors to increase
their minimum prices for can
ned apples, applesauce, apple
juice, cider and dried apples.
The adjustments, OPA ' said,
will cover increased raw fruits
and other costs and will follow
previous modifications of the
ceiling price for other canned
and dried fruits.
OPA will permit canners to
advance their 1941 prices on
canned apples and applesauce to
total of 18 Vi per cent. Ten per
cent of this increase is to cover
cost increases other than raw
fruit and 8 Vi per cent is for add
ed raw material cost.
OPA said the increase had
been calculated so that canners
would be able to pay $6.50 more
per ton on the average for can
ning apples than was paid dur
ing the 1941 season. OPA said
grower's costs of producing and
harvesting apples had advanced
substantially.
For apple juice and sweet ci
der, an increase of 8 per cent
over 1941 price was allowed in
order to cover costs other than
fruit, when containers of one
gallon or more are packed, and
10 per cent when containers
smaller than one gallon are
packed,
Also, an addition of six cents
per gallon is allowed for these
products to offset higher raw
material prices. Canners may
add an additional 2 per cent of
their 1941 price when they use
glass instead of tin for packing,
as well as the difference in cost
between the glass and tin con
tainers. The 2 per cent is allow
ed for added cost of labor in
glass packing.
The new regulation will estab
lish a fixed price for dried ap
ples at nineteen cents a pound
for United States grade A-0
on t he Pacific coast (Cali
fornia, Oregon, Idaho and Wash
ington), and 17V4 cents a pound
for United States grade C. Dried
apple prices in the eastern states
are to be 2 cents higher than
those established for the Pacific
coast. ,
The OPA said this differential
was desirable to encourage the
drying of apples in the eastern
areas so that unusual ' military
demands may be met, The de
partment of agriculture has In
dicated it will purchase dried
apples at these prices if packed
to meet the United States speci
fied grades. -r -The
adjustments are for the
1942 pack only, and are figured
from the weighted average sales
price during the first 60 days of
the 1941 season.
OPA said an announcement
would be made later regarding
maximum prices for distributors
and retailers of these apple pro
ducts. '

Something New
In Labor Strike
Ind'ianapolis, Sept. 2 W
Something new under the labor
sun appeared to be developing
in . Indianapolis when an AFL
federal labor union called a
strike of 200 employes of the
Columbia Conserve company
late yesterday.
The company is controlled by
employes who own 67 per cent
of the common stock and receive
a share of the profits. The work
ers apparently are striking
against themselves because the
board of directors, elected by
and composed of workers, refus
ed to guarantee 52 weeks of em
ployment, the Indianapolis Star 1
reported.
The employes were reported
to have walked out despite an
offer of the management for a
minimum wage scale of 10 cents
an hour higher than requested.
The plant closed and officials
declined comment.
The company has been of lab
oratory interest to ecenomisti0
and labor students. For years
the workers raised or cut their
own salaries according to the
amount of business.
The company processes pre-
seves, pickled foods and jellies.
