week-end protection but gold
mines and other post-war lav
orites retained a degree of pop
ularity. Dealings, generally, wert
sluggish although sizable blocks
of low-priced issues, the major
ity nf which were about un
changed, helped put the two
hnur volume in the neighbor
hood of 300,000 shares. Closing
prices were a trifle spotty and
narrow.

active "peace" stock of the pre

Rye Futures
Advance Today
. . Chicago, Nov. 21 U.R Rye fu
tures advanced a cent a bushel
Jn fairly brisk trade on the board
of trade today. Wheat reflected
the strength of the rye market,
corn firmed fractionally and oats
held within a narrow range of
yesterday's close.
. Rye finished the day up 1
In 1 cents a bushel, wheat up
to corn up to oats
unchanged to up Vi, and soy
beans up W to .
Commission houses and shorts
absorbed offerings in the rye pit
and apparently December long
rye was switched to May with
cash interests willing to change
over hedges at six cents a bushel
defference.
, Trade in the wheat market
continued light with firmness
partially attributed to develop
ments in the senate hearings,
Grainmen expressed some hope
that government price regula
tions will be modified.
Reports from New York indi
cated that the government pur
chased upward of 75,000 bushels
of flour overnight.
- The commodity credit corpor
ation completed 438,841 loans on
312,884,567 bushels of the 1942
wheat crop through November
14, as compared with 279,083
706 bushels through November
7, or an Increase of 33,800,861
bushels, the department of ag
riculture said today.
Loans averaged $1.13 per bu
shel or a total of $353,716,404,
as compared with 466,341 loans
on 311,324,212 bushels last year,

Shortage of Eggs
In Salem Markets
It will be ham and eggs with
out the eggs Insofar as Salem
restaurants are concerned un
less the hens do a bit better in
the laying department. A short
age of eggs which has existed
for several days became ex
tremcly acute Saturday when
it was learned wholesale houses
were completely sold out and
could give little encouragement
to those seeking to rcpcnlsh
their supplies. One State street
restaurant operator scoured the
city in an effort to supply the
essential half to the popular
breakfast combination, without
results. One grocer reported
that he had not had an egg in
his establishment for two days.
' It was reported today that a
San Francisco firm which had
a contract to supply Camp
Adair with eggs had long dis
tanced a local wholesaler in an
effort to secure a portion of his
requirements. The wholesaler
reported he could supply but
four dozen of the several thou
sand needed.
The total population of India

Folk at Home
May Endure
Less Butter
Washington, Nov. 21 (JP) To
keep Johnny Doughboy from
being fed dry bread while
fighting far away, the folks at
home may soon have to spread
their butter thin or use some
substitute. . .
Frozen in more ways than
one, 40 per cent of the nation's
cold-stored butter supply today
was set aside for fighting men
and the lease-lend program un
der terms of a war production
board order.
And housewives started eye
ing such tablefat substitutes as
margarine and peanut butter,
for the "temporary" - wording
of the order failed to east .the
threat of eventual shortage.
Agriculture department officials
asserted that present butter
production was not meeting
market needs and pointed out
that the WPB slice of nearly
35,000,000 pounds would be felt
in the near future.
However, WPB officials plan
ned to supplant the freeze as
quickly as possible with a lim
itation order which would cut
consumption about 10 per cent
or two pounds per person a
year.
They added that the shortage
might not materially affect the
retail market before January,
and that rationing might not be
necessary, although the board's
food requirements committee
headed by Agriculture Secre
tary Wickard reported that
butter supplies have been re
duced to the lowest levels since
1932.
The order earmarked for gov
ernment purchase half the but
ter in cold storage in the na
tion's 35 principal marketing
centers, which hold about 80
per cent of the entire supply. It
was retroactive to Nov. 6, rul
ing that . deliveries made since
then could not be subtracted in
setting aside the federal por
tion and even existing contracts
could not be considered.
It did not affect retail stocks
on hand. Unless superseded, it
will remain in effect until
March 6.

2 Allied Generals
On Sunken Trowler
By Murlin Spencer
With Allied Forces Near Buna, New Guinea, Nov. 19 (De
layed) (P) The officer at headquarters who writes the communi
ques used a half dozen words Wednesday to tell how. Japanese
sank two allied trawlers off the
Buna coastal area, but he didn't
mention that two allied generals
were aboard the trawlers and
had to swim to shore.
One general watched the
bombers swooping in for their
attack and called for a rifle. He
blazed away until he was forced
to leave the sinking craft. The
other also took the attack with
fine disdain and remained at a
commanding post.
Both officers had to swim
nearly a half mile to shore with
the men and both refused any
help, insisting that others need
ed it more. Their names are
still a military secret.
Lieut. W. H. Thackston of An
derson, S. C, telling of the ex
perience, said that "as soon as
one man reached shore, he
would get his breath and then
go back into the water to help
someone else."
Tne Japanese bombers also at
tacked the allied' positions along
the shore and, after the bombing,
I walked down the beach to
a small native hut built on stilts
where the doctors were at work
on the wounded.
' They had been oh the ships,
too, and were dead tired, but
they worked on.
I watched Lieut. Leonard Mil
careks of Chicago, Major Par
ker Harbin of Charleston, 111.,
Capt. George Pugeley of Bay
ard, Neb., and Lieut, A. F. Rog
ers of Milwaukee bandage the
wounded by flashlight. ,
Helping them were Sergeants
Leonard Hart of Chicago, and
J. E. Quinn of Indianapolis and
Private Phil Rosenberg of Oak
Park, 111.
Some of the men were injured
badly, but they did not com
plain, .
During the height of the at
tacks on the ground troops, as
Robert Doyle of the Milwaukee
Journal and I lay flat, hugging
the shelter of a tree, we heard a
Potato Loans
Seen for Farmers
Washington, Nov. 21 (F)
The agriculture department an
nounced today that it stood
ready to support grower prices ;
of potatoes by making loans at
rates averaging S1.05 per hun
dred pounds for No. 1, bulk,
ungraded lots stored in approv
ed warehouses by . cooperative
associations of producers or po
tato dealers. '
This rate, the department
said, was equivalent to $1.30 per
hundred pounds, or 78 cents a
bushel for No. 1 late crop po
tatoes, FOB shipping point.-
Other grades will be sup
ported at rates reflecting nor
mal price differentials. Officials
said the prices were in line
with those the department said,
last March it would support if
such support was deemed neces
sary to insure farmers fair returns.
While. potatoes have been sell-i tification. On November 18, do

The Hop

Pacific northwest hop markets

to the department of agricul

no sales were registered.
Oregon hop markets were

40 Feeder Lambs
Killed by Dogs
Loss of 40 -feeder lambs on
the Hayes Labish farms was re
ported today by Paul Marnach,
dog' license enforcement offi
cer, who said .the lambs were
drowned in rising waters in that
area but the .drownings .Were
due to attacks by dogs. Some
of the sheep were killed out
right -by dogs, but other were
nipped and frightened and ris
ing waters did the rest.
Marnacji said there were .600
of these feeder lambs on the
place and but for the rising wa
ters he said they all . might have
been lost.: 'Had the water in
the deep ditch been low, he. said,
in all probability the sheep run
ning from the dogs would have
piled up in the ditch, but. as it
was only a fraction of them
were caught by the water.
