up to off , oats off V4, rye

to .
Washington dispatches reveal
ed the department of agricul
ture has alternate plans to keep
flour prices down by the sale of
government wheat to mills at
85 per cent of corn parity pri
ces. The proposal would re
duce the pressure against flour
ceilings, but must wait on con
gressional approval.
"Mills bought wheat in -fairly
good volume, absorbing commis
sion house offers, without af
fecting the easy tone prevail
ing today. The wheat market,
however, found some support in
the relative strength in the north
west and the belief that ceiling
prices will be raised.
Profit taking sales in corn and
rye futures contributed to the
easy undertone.. .
. Corn and rye futures declin
ed as much as a cent a bushel,
the decline in corn attributed
to the feeling that country mar
ketings will begin to increase.
Shipping demand continued to

mated at 92,000 bushels.

The Capitol Journal, Salem, Oregon
Board Receives
Advices on
Farm Workers
R. B. Taylor, state USDA war
board chairman, reports that
the amendment to the selective
service act provides that any
registrant who is found to be
necessary to and regularly en
gaged in an agricultural occupa
tion or agricultural endeavor es
sential to the war effort shall
be placed in Class II-C or Class
III-C, depending upon whether
or not he has dependents. It
further provides that no regis
trant who has been so classified
may leave his agricultural oc
cupation for other work without
permission of his local draft
board, and that no registrant in
Class II-C or Class III-C shall
be released for enlistment in
the land or naval forces.
This program to stabilize la
bor on dairy, livestock and poul
try farms provides definite
standards of production which
must be met in order for the
registrant to be deferred. In
determining the eligibility of re
gistrants for classification in
II-C or III-C under the amend
ment to the selective service act,
local boards will apply the
standards for "essential" farms
set up under this stabilization
program as far as dairy, live
stock and poultry farm workers
and operators are concerned.
These standards as supplied lo
cal draft boards are based on
animal unit production per form:
one milk cow plus production of
its feed equals one animal unit.
Equivalents in livestock and
poultry are also set up. Thus it
takes three beef cows, five year
lings, four two-year-old steers,
four feedlot cattle, 16 ewes (not
counting lambs), 80 feedlot
lambs, 75 hens (not counting
raising chickens), 250 chickens
raised (not counting broilers),
500 broilers, 40 turkeys raised
(not counting breeding stock),
nine hogs raised (not counting
breeding herd), to equal one
animal unit.
False Report
Recalls Sailors
San Francisco, Dec. 3 (IP)
The 12th navy district said today
that "a large number of uniden
tified surface vessels" had been
reported 450 miles off the Cali
fornia coast, but that a thorough
search of the area "failed to con
firm their presence."
(Presumably the order broad
cast before dawn today for fleet
personnel to return to their ships
was based on this report).
The navy's statement follows:
"A large number of unidenti
fied surface vessels was report
ed by naval patrol at dusk on
the second of December on an
easterly course 450 miles off the
coast of California,
"Since the presence of such a
force would constitute a serious
hazard to the west coast, every
effort was made by army and
navy aircraft to verify the re
ported contact and all available
forces were alerted and steps
taken to intercept any enemy
forces.
"A thorough search of the
area concerned fall to confirm
the presence of any unidentified
vessels and the report is consid
ered in error."
The statement was issued by
Vice Admiral John W. Green-
slade, commander of the west
ern sea frontier.
Starting at 4 a.m., radio sta
tions had broadcast orders to
fleet personnel to report at once
to their ships.

sul and his staff recently de
parted from Monrovia, the Lib

Walnut Market
Program Stated
' Portland, Dec. 3 (U.B) Eighty
per cent of the 1942-43 crop of
marketable walnuts produced in
Washington, Oregon and Cali
fornia may be sold unshelled on
domestic markets, the depart
ment of agriculture said today.
Under a diversion program for
the remaining 20 per cent the
agricultural marketing adminis
tration will pay growers a maxi
mum of 3-T4 cents per pound for
nuts shelled for the domestic
market or emported, the depart
ment announced.
The 80 per cent salable per
centage of the crop was increas
ed from a 65 per cent' previously
announced at the request of the
walnut control board, agricul
ture officials said. In view of
prospective demand conditions
the department said no walnut
diversion program will be ap
proved for the 1943-44 crop year.
Truck Collision
Injures 3rd Car
Batty Cooper, Salem sanitary
inspector, and his city-owned
automobile were the innocent
sufferers in a spectacular traf
fic accident yesterday, just be
fore noon, in front of Cooper's
home at 1694 Broadway,
A Stiff Furniture company
truck driven by William P. Vroo-
man and a heavier truck loaded
with wood went into a collision
at that place. The wood truck
careened across the street and
struck Cooper's vehicle, crossed
the curb to the sidewalk and
dumped a large lot of wood on
Cooper's premises. The wood
truck was driven by Charles T
Zander, who said the thought
the truck was owned by George
Pappendrew. All three vehicles
were considerably damaged.
Zander, who lives at 570 Lo
cust, was booked for having de
fective brakes and no chauf
feur's license. In police court
today, he was fined $10, given
30 days in jail and his driver's
license was suspended for a year.
Machinery Freeze
Has Explanation
New permanent farm machin
ery rationing program became
effective November 28. This or
der unfreezes farm machinery
and equipment in dealers' hands
and continues the freeze in dis
tributors' and manufacturers'
hands until county rationing
quotas are established and a dis
tribution system has been set up
by the department of agricul
ture. There are certain articles of
equipment and machinery for
which no quotas will be estab
lished: these are domestic water
systems, farm pumps and wind
mills, irrigation equipment,
dairy farm machines and equip
ment, metal milk cans and cov
ers, and farm fencing materials.
These articles can .now be sold
to holders of purchase certifi
cates issued by county rationing
committees. . County rationing
committees will be furnished
certain standards of use as
guides in determining whether
the applicant is using his pres
ent equipment to the extent
necessitated by war conditions
as well as determining minimum
use for new equipment and ma
chinery. In cases of real emergency the
I special war board assistant to
the secretary of agriculture will
stilt consider appeals for release
of frozen equipment.

Tribute Paid
Draff Boards
Governor Charles A. Sprague
today endorsed the plans of the
American Legion for public rec
ognition of the work done by
selective service boards through
out the nation.
"Having had the responsibil
ity of organizing the selective
service system in Oregon," the
governor said, "I have jiaturally
been interested in the work of
these boards. I feel that they are
playing a most important part in
the mustering of great armies
on democratic lines. They have
been most conscientious in the
performance of their duties,
serving long hours without com
pensation, impelled only by pa
triotic considerations. .:
"I want to add my tribute to
the members of these boards for
their fine public service. I hope
the people of Oregon, under the
leadership of the Legion posts,
will join in local testimonials
honoring these board members.
Parity Prices to
Include Labor Costs
Washington, Dec. 3 VP) The
house by unanimous consent to
day passed legislation redefin
ing agricultural parity to in
clude the costs, of all farm labor,
a step against which President
Roosevelt expressed "unalter
able opposition" when anti-in
flation proposals were: before
congress two months ago.
At the time parity redefini
tion was debated in the anti-inflation
fight, one government
office contended this - might re
sult in an increase in living costs
of as much as $3,500,000,000 a
year.
Rep. Pace (D-Ga), author of
the measure, told the house he
did not know what effects it
might have on living costs.
The legislation now goes to
the senate. ,
Pace told the house that un
der agricultural labor policies
being established by the govern
ment "virtually no crops will be
produced next year, unless far
mers are allowed to embrace
the increased labor costs into the
parity formula."
(Parity is an arbitrary price
calculated to give farmers buy
ing power equal to that of some
past favorable period for agri
culture, usually 1909-14.)

rica drop a vertical distance of

Bombers Chase
4 Jap Warships
In New Guinea
Gen. MacArthur's Headquar-
ters, Australia, Dec. 3 (U.B Am
erican heavy bombers chased
four Japanese destroyers north
from New Guinea today after a
fierce, rocket-lighted engage
ment off Buna in which the ene
my attempt to land reinforce
ments for its beleaguered garri
son was cut short.
One destroyer was hit and 23
Japanese planes were shot down
in this sixth attempt since No
vember 1 to bolster the enemy
ground forces, now pinned by
Australians and Americans to a
narrow coastal jungle strip most
ly less than a mile wide and
about ten miles long, with Buna
the strongest enemy point left,
In Buna Outskirts
Gen. Do u g 1 a s MacArthur's
communique today said Americ
an forces had reached the out
skirts of Buna for the first sub
stantial gain in ground fighting
for several days. As for Gona,
isolated when Australians drove
through to the beach below .the
village, a spokesman said it was
not claimed that the village it
self had been occupied.
The big job was to eliminate
Buna, off which there was a
spectacular sea and air clash last
night when the Japanese de
stroyers arrived.
The enemy ships came within
a few miles of Buna, despite sus
tained bombing and strafing by
four-motored bombers and nu
merous fighter planes. The de
stroyers zig-zagged wildly to es
cape bombs and bullets. They
sent up rockets and flares to il
luminate the American planes for
anti-aircraft fire. .
May Have Landed Some
At one point, the destroyers
were seen to be surrounded by
a few landing barges and small
boats. This led to a supposition
that some few fresh troops may
have landed at Buna,, but not
enough to ease the position of
the garrison.
The destroyers were able to
remain off Buna only a-short
time, steaming away speedily
with Boeing flying fortresses and
North American B-25 medium
bombers in pursuit.
