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

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.

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. Dr. O. Chan. N.D.

Dan Harmon
Harmon Seeks
Congress Seat
D5n Harmon, Newberg au
tomobile dealer and nut grower
who aspires to the republican
nomination for congressman
from the first Oregon district in
opposition to Rep. 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.
