m 12 Capital Journal, Salem, Ration Points Cut for May On Lamb, Mutton, Pork, Butter Washington, April 21 U.PJ Ration point values of lamb and mutton will be roughly halved next month, pork point values will be cut somewhat and the point value of butter will be reduced from the Dresenl level of iaf points a pound, probably to 12 points, it was learned today. The office of price adminis tration, its hand forced by pre mature disclosure of its plans at the capitol, officially an nounced that it was planning the sharp cut in lamb and mut ton point values. It said the Poultry Price Ceilings Raised Washington, April 21 P The office of price administra tion today increased the ceiling price of poultry at all sales lev els by 1.8 cents a pound, effec tive immediately and contin uing through the month of April. The new revisions approved by Stabilization Director Fred M. Vinson, also provide a pro gram of increases for May and June and for January through June of 1945. In January of 1B45, the revis ed schedule goes into effect again, with an increase of one half cent a pound that month, one cent in February, and 1.4 cents in March. In April, May and June of 1945, the increases will be the same as in those months of this year. Stocks Advance Irregularly New York, April 21 Wi The stock market made a fair amount of selective progress today al though it emulated the tortoise in the matter of speed. Prices hardened here and there after a mixed opening. Gains of fractions were will dis tributed near the close, with a smattering of new 1944 peaks in evidence. Turnover of around 500,000 shares was one of the smallest for a 5-hour stretch since last October. There was a further trickle of investment funds Into rails and assorted industrials on the idea the market had been over sold notwithstanding apprehen sion as to the forthcoming Eu ropean allied push unsettling trends. Sundry oil, Amerada, U. S. Steel preferred, and Central Foundry registered tops for the years. Supported most of the time were Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, Chesapeake & Ohio, Goodrich, Bethlehem, Deere, United Aircraft, Kennecott, Con solidated Edison and Texas Co. Occasional stumblers included Crysler, Du Pont, J. C. Pen ney and Douglas Aircraft. Carrier bonds did better. Hulburt Jersey Farm Sold Independence, April 21 L. A. Hulburt, of L. A. Hulburt and Sons, announced the sale of the Hulburt Jersey farm, con sisting of 115 acres, located three miles southeast of Inde pendence, to Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Leobo of Oregon City.

Princess Has 18th Birthday London, April 21 (URi Prin cess Elizabeth observed her 18th birthday in accordance with wartime austerity today by watching the Grenadier guards, of which she is colonel-in-chief. change guard somewhere in the country. She was accompanied by the King and Queen, the Duke of Gloucester, the Princess Royal, the Princess Margaret, and re ceived a silk replica of the King's colors of the first bat talion as a birthday present from the regiment. Oregon, Friday, April 21, 1944 values for these meats effective May 1 will be approximately half of the current values, which range from two points a pound for stew meat and other inferior cuts to 10 points for loin chops and roasts. Officials, however, denied re ports that the point value of butter would be halved, to eight points a pound. Spurred by reports that this 50 per cent slash was planned, OPA was understood to have told region offices this was not so. Offic ials refused to be pinned down definitely, but indicated that 12 points a pound was a likely guess about the May point value for butter. May point value charts prob ably will show some further reductions in pork points, it was said, despite the sharp re ductions earlier this year. Most of the reductions will be only one point a pound, it was under stood, although some might be two points. Some inferior pork cuts already are valued at zero points, while other cuts range upward to six points. OPA officials said they could not release information on fu ture point values more than two or three days in advance of the effective date without disrup ting normal trade channels, and said that for this heason of ficial plans for May will not be released until next week. But they said they were con forming the lamb and mutton point value cuts because these plans had been made public in semiofficial form at the capitol. The reductions, they said, were necessitated by drought condi tions which are forcing farmers to slaughter spring lambs. The OPA also announced that removal of points on lard, short ening, and salad, and cooking oils would not effect the fat salvaging program, but that dealers would continue to pay two red points and four cents for every pound of used kitchen fats turned in. Grain Seized By Argentine Buenos Aires, April 21 MPi The government took control today of all grain elevators and other installations used for the storage and shipping of grain in Argentine ports under terms of a decree classifying such fa cilities as public utilities. The decree, issued late yes terday, directed the national grain elevator commission to take over the properties im mediately and later negotiate for their rental or purchase. The government's action, the decree stated, was dictated by the necessity of meeting prob lems arising from its targe-scale participation in the grain busi ness. Although privately-owned grain will be accepted for stor age and shipping by the gov ernment - controlled elevators, the decree said priority will be given state-owned grain. The decree did not include plants used exclusively for pro cessing grain. The government said It had been forced to acquire the grain in order to protect the farmer against bankruptcy, with consequent repercussions to the nntion's economy, and that the huge stocks which have been accumulating had created ser ious storage and shipping prob lems. The decree declared (he government had been justified in paying millions of pesos to private grain handlers at the inception of the program but now the time had arrived to re serve such business to the state.

Flour Output Materially Low Chicago, April 21 (U.R) Grain futures followed an irregular trend on the board of trade to day as uncertainties over the coming invasion and favorable crop weather contributed bear ish influences. Wheat finished the day up 'A to off cent a bushel; oats un changed to quoted up ; rye unchanged to off , and barley quoted off Trading in the wheat pit was light with local trade mostly on the selling side. Substantial buying by one trader led to short-covering and a steadier tone. Grainmen noted flour pro duction since early this year dropped materially below ex pectations, but heard today that lend-lease officials have issued shipping instructions on old bookings. Prices moved unevenly in rye. Interest was moderate and buy ing by commercial interests had little effect on prices, other than a partial rally from low points. The announced changes on food accumulations and control coupled with the free movement of Canadian feed grain to this country tended to weaken the undertone in rye. Onts trading was light. Cash oats continued strong, but trad ers preferred to exercise cau tion until it is known what ceil ings will be placed on the new crop contracts. Need Basis of Lumber Control Washington. April 21 WP The war production board snid yesterday it will control lum ber consumption after July 1 through a system of "purchase authorizations" based on essen tial consumer needs and the available supply. An April 25 deadline for major consumers to file infor mation on their lumber needs does not mean a freeze on lum ber. WPB said in an effort to remove misunderstandings. Consumers will continue to receive lumber under existing orders until the new purchase system is effective. WPB said, unless they have failed to file proper requests for the lumber according to its intended use. Markets Briefed iBr the United Press Stocks firm in quiet trading. Bonds higher U.

CREOMULSION for Coughi, Quit Colds, I ronchitft Fixed Prices on Eggs Urged r Washington, April 21 fU.R) The National Farmers' Union, declaring that egg producers were being squeezed between fluctuating prices and rigid or rising feed costs, urged tne gov ernment today to help producers by setting fixed prices. "In recent months," President James G. Patton said, 'egg pro ducers have taken a severe beating in widely fluctuating egg prices while the middlemen speculators have taken advant age of the same swing in prices below the ceiling." He urged the war food ad ministration to conclude new agreements with egg producers to include the following provi sions: 1. "Firm prices for eggs, in stead of ceiling and support prices, scheduled a year ahead, the ceiling price to the consum er to be closely adjusted to sea sonal variations, the govern ment absorbing the difference, whether profit or loss. 2. "Supplies of feed at prices and in amounts needed to main tain the agreed-upon production of eggs at the prices set, the gov ernment to subsidize whatever increases in feed prices become necessary, setting aside and al locating supplies to meet pro-: ducers' needs." Advice Given Newspapers Washington, April 2 1 ) President Roy Roberts told the American Society of Newspaper: Editors today that the nation's 1 press has talked too much about j its "freedom" and too little about its "responsibilities." He ; declared his conviction that "we will keep a free press as long as we deserve it no longer." On that theme Roberts, man aging editor of the Kansas City Star, dedicated the twenty-second annual meeting of the so ciety to "responsible journal ism" and, in his official report prepared for opening the con ference, laid out these three im-; mediate and paramount prob-1 lems: Winning the war since Hit ler and the Japanese can hope to avert defeat only by cracking the allied home front, the first job of American newspapers "is to keep the home front sound, be constructive rather than de structive in criticism, and stand for the one goal of complete vic tory." Election campaigning news papers, Roberts asserted, "can be a tremendous factor in keeping (the campaign on an American basis not down in the sewer." He urged that "papers everlastingly chastise either side that indulges in smearing as an argument." Foreign policy despite dif ferences on details, there are fundamental principles on which all factions can agree, he said, "however the election may come out only thus can any really democratic govern ment such as ours function in foreign policy." Farmers in Status of War Workers Asked Seattle, April 21 (IP) Warn ing against further drain on the reservoir of agricultural man power, three Washington state farm organizations have asked that the labors of farm workers be given recognition equal to the honor of wearing military uni form. The appeal was sent to Presi dent Roosevelt, congress. Selec tive Service Director Hershey and others by the Washington state Grange, the Slate Council of Farm Cooperatives and the State Farm bureau. ". . . There Is an irreducible limit to the squeeze that agri culture can be subjected to, and that limit has now reached a hazardous borderline," the message stated. "The majority of present manpower on our farms is of an upper age level incapable of do ing many jobs of a mechanical nature. Therefore . . . the re maining young men are not ef fectively replaceable. "Where such young men are found ... to be responsible minded and doing a full-time es sential job, they should be de ferred to continue their essen tial contributions to the war. despite their normal desire to share in direct military serv ice.' ut, I. r. lm, S.O.

James Mott, sees foreign relations and inter national trade as the most im portant problems with which congress will have to deal in the post-war period and in prep aration for it. Visiting Salem in the inter ests of his campaign yesterday, Harmon laid claim to particular fitness to deal with such legis lation because of his business experience and training, and his familiarity with problems of foreign trade gained as Euro pean merchandizing and credit representative for the Chrysler corporation for a considerable period following the last war, in which he served overseas. "The economic future of this country lies in the extent to which it capitalizes on foreign trade possibilities after the war," he said, "and the scope of those possibilities hinges upon the manner in which con gress and the administration de velops them. China alone, in her potentialities, offers unprec edented opportunities for Amer ican business it proper trade relations are established." Small business, which he claims to represent, will con tinue to be the backbone of American prosperity if properly safeguarded, he said. Claiming the support of or ganized labor and the Townsend clubs as well as other organized minority groups, Harmon was optimistic over his prospects for nomination and election. Spinach Crop Needs Weeding Spinach planting for the Cal ifornia Packing corporation on about a normal avreage this year are reported to be looking ing fine with one exception, that with 14 days of more or less rainfall every day the weeds have been growing faster than the spinach and present a heavy problem of weeding to the grow ers. Dependent on weather condi tions it is expected that the pack will start about the latter part of May. v While the company which im ported some cutting machines when it started the pack in 1941, returned the machines to the factory when fluctuating weather conditions made it ap parent use of such machines could be had only in some years, nevertheless a number of growers have made some cut ting machines of their own which they plan to try out this year if weather and general con ditions will allow.
