Grain Trade
: Very Limited
I! Chicago, July 21 u. Grain
- futures moved within a narrow
, range on the board of trade to
T day. The trend was slightly
' lower and trade very limited,
sentiment being influenced by
cotton weakness and favorable
'War news.
Prices finished irregular mak
ing slight gains on the close
Wheat wound up the day off
?i to up cents a bushel;
, oats unchanged to up It ; rye
unchanged to off H, and barley
. unchanged to up i.
- The trade generally adopted
"a sidelines position today to
await further developments in
Jtlie war. Prices moved slowly
above and below the previous
level In the wheat pit with most
presure on deferred position
The long anticipated revised
ceilings on oats failed to have
-much reaction on the futures
'market because the trade ex
pected the roll-back, but much
confusion existed In this con
nection. Early prices declined
but later rallied under buying
.-of December and may by ele
'vator interests,
Rye prices acted nervously
with the general undertone eas
ier. Local grainmen sold in
fluenced by the $1 a bale drop
in cotton prices and easiness
in the stock market. Short'
covering checked ths down
turn. Heavy Selling
Pares Values
New York, July 21 U
.Heavy selling continued on the
New York stock exchange to
day for the second consecutive
session and about $500,000,000
was pared from the value of
all listed stocks.
Trading was active and vol
ume topped a million shares for
the 29th consecutive full ses
sion. Selling was prompted by cau
tion growing out of the con
fusion created by the fall of the
Japanese cabinet and yester
day's attempted assassination of
Adolf Hitler. Another unset
tling factor was the announce
ment that U. S. troops had land
ed on Guam in another step to
ward Japan.
The action of the market was
regarded as normal in the face
of the week's many unexpected
developments.
All sections of the list joined
the sell-off, which got under
way in the steels and rails. Late
prices in the steel group were
down a point or more in Beth
lehem, U. S. Steel and Wheeling
jsteel. Atlantic Coastlin, Pere
Marquette, and Southern rail
way preferred were down a
point or more in the carriers.
Wind Seriously
Damages Vetch
Unlonvale The unusually
hot spell Tuesday here was
broken In the afternoon with a
Very strong sea breeze that last
ed about one hour and seriously
damaged the oats and vetch
grain crops. The oats may be
saved.
; Some growers fear a total loss
of the vetch by having been
whipped out. At the Fred
Stockhoff farm about 40 acres
of vetch Is ruined it Is reported.
At the Mrs. Carol Launer
farm where her sons, Clarence
and Arl, have a good crop of
oats and vetch and Tuesday
were windrowing with side de
livery, the grain was badly
rolled, some of it was carried
across the Dayton-Salem high
way and lodged against the Vic
tor Geigcr fence.
At the Marion Boulden farm
some of the tender field corn
about four feet tall was snapped
off.
.- The damage cannot at this
time be estimated.

Big Sabotage Strike
Made by Frenchmen
London, July 21 IPi In the
biggest stroke of sabotage since
D-day, French patriots at Cru
gey blew up munition dumps
supplying all German air force
bases in eastern France be
tween June 19 and 22, authori
tative French informants in
London said last night. Ap
proximately 10,000 tons of
munitions in more than 7,000
rail cars were reported destroy
ed. Ceiling Price
On Oafs Cut
Washington, July 21 0J.R
The office of price administra
tion today reduced by an aver
age of 5 cents a bushel at all
levels the ceiling prices of oats
in production areas, effective
next Wednesday.
It also authorized a $4 a ton
mark-up on sales of oats and
ohler grains at retail. Both ac
tions replace the previous pric
ing system based on a "freeze"
of the Nov. 3, 1943, base pe
riod price.
The new oats ceiling, OPA
said, will fully reflect parity
to producing farmers during the
current crop year.
Terminal base points and
their new base prices per bush
el for "standard grade and
quality" of oats with a test
weight of 27 pounds per bush'
el containing not over 14 'A per
cent moisture, and described as
number three oats, will be:
Chicago, 76c; Kansas City
Mo., and Kansas City, Kan., 74c;
Portland, Ore., 71c; Seattle and
Tacoma, 71c; Ogden, Utah, 75c.
Prices for other grades and
qualities will be computed by
application of a schedule pro
vided in a master grain regula
tion. The new pricing method di
vided the United States into
two areas the surplus area
which grows more oats than it
can consume is designated as
area "A" and covers the north
west and middle west, includ
ing the entire states of North
Dakota and Iowa, and parts of
Montana, South Dakota, Minne
sota, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Il
linois and Indiana, and area
'B , the remainder of the
country.
Progress Made
On Jap Cabinet
(By the United Press)
Japan's two senior army and
navy leaders, designated by Em
peror Hirohito to form a new
government, were reported
making some progress today in
replacing the fallen regime of
Gen. Hideki Tojo.
A spokesman for Gen. Kunt
ako Koiso, who, with Adm. Mit
sumasa Yonai, was charged to
organize a new Japanese cab
inet, said he expects Koiso will
be able to submit a list of names
of ministers to Emperor Hiro
hito by Saturday morning (Ja
pan time), Tokyo radio an
nounced. The broadcast, heard by Unit
ed Press In San Francisco,
quoted Lt. Gen. Yaheita Saito,
speaking for Koiso's headquar
ters. The official Dome! news
agency, quoting a statement is
sued at "cabinet information
headquarters" in Tokyo, said
that Gen. Kuniaki Koiso and
Admiral Mitsumasa Yonai held
a conference that progressed
"very smoothly and earnestly."
Koiso Is governor-general of
Korea and Yonnl is a former
premier and a member of the
supreme war council. Each is
64 years old.
The Domel dispatch, trans
mitted by wireless to the East
Asia press and recorded by FCC
monitors, said the statement
was issued by Saito.
The conference was held, Do
mei said, after Koiso and Yonnl
visited the Imperial palace and
afterward discussed the situa
tion with other Japanese offi
cials, including Tojo.
While the designation of two
men by the emperor to form a
new government at first indi
cated the possibility of a joint
premiership, it appeared that
Koiso was taking the lead In
the activities.
Among other persons with
whom Koiso conferred, Domel
said, were Marquis Koichi Kido,
lord keeper of the privy seal
and apparent liaison man be
tween the emperor and Koiso
and Yonai: Admiral Naokuni
Nomura, who replaced Admiral
Shigetaro Shimada as navy min
ister before Tojo's cabinet fell,
and also Shimada, who remain
ed as naval chief of staff.

Troops Plunge
( Continued from page 1)
Saipan's, which consisted of
more than 20,000 troops on D-
day, June 14. The Americans
had to kill 95 percent of that
force before gaining victory.
No indication was given as
to the landing places. A fleet
spokesman merely said: "All
landings were effected in all
areas as programmed." This
suggested the landings were not
as difficult as at Saipan, where
many marines died on the reef
girt beaches..
But in the interior the Amer
icans will encounter the same
hills, caves and crevices which
gave Saipan's defenders a tre
mendous edge over the attack
ers. Guam Has Fine Harbor
Guam, 32 miles long and four
to 10 miles wide, was overrun
by 8,000 Japanese troops who
stormed ashore against 200 ma
rines In the early days of the
war. All the other Marianas
islands to the north were Ja
panese, who thus had all the
advantages against the isolated
American garrison.
The island has one of the
Pacific's finest harbors, Apra,
and formerly served as a way
station on the trans-Pacific air
route to the east. It supports
a native population of nearly
22,000. Its area is about 225
square miles, the southern half
containing fertile valleys brok
en by low hills, the northern
half mainly a 500-foot plateau.
The number of ground forces
landed was not reported, but it
is reasonable to assume the op
erations there were comparable
to Saipan, where the second
and fourth marine divisions and
the 7th army division required
25 days to seize the island.
Rear Adm. Richard L. Con
olly, who commanded the am
phibious force at Sicily and
Salerno, and directed the con
quest of Roi and Manur in the
northern Kwajalein atoll, Is di
recting the amphibious opera
tions against Guam.
Conolly Rated High
He is rated one of the ablest
and shrewdest naval officers
in the Pacific. He was awarded
the distinguished service medal
for his Marshall islands opera
tions. Maj. Gen. Roy S. Geiger, U.
S. marine corps, as commander
of the third amphibious corps,
is commanding all expedition
ary troops. Geiger landed ma
rines on Guadalcanal and Bou
gainville. Fifth fleet operations remain
ed under command of Adm.
Raymond A. Spruance, who has
had the same command in the
Gilberts, Marshalls and at Sai
pan. Vice Adm. Marc A.
Mitscher's carrier task force is

smashes that began in the Mar
shalls and continued through

ing. Fire Danger
Serious T
ireat
Spokane, Wash., July 21 (U.B
Danger of fire in inland em
pire wheat fields is perhaps the
greatest in history heightened
by an unusual double growth of
cheat grass, warm weather and
unusually high winds accord
ing to Leonard L. Burgunder,
deputy state fire marshal for the
Spokane area.
Burgunder pointed out that
although harvest is less than
two weeks along, "we have had
greater fire losses since the end
of June than we had all last
year."
He listed nine wheat fires
which caused damage estimated
at $56,000, inclding one $25,000
fire in Walla Walla county last
week that destroyed 600 acres.
He said 50,000 acres of pasture
land had also been razed in the
area, including one 9,000-acre
fire this week that called out
fire departments of four towns
between Ritzville and Washtuc
na, Wash. ,
Burgunder said light snowfall
last winter failed to destroy the
usual amount of cheat grass,
causing a two-year's growth to
create the unprecedented fire
hazard.
School Support Fund
For County $289,969
Mrs. Agnes C. Booth, county
school superintendent, received
notification from the state
school superintendent's office
Thursday that Marion county's
share of the school support fund
for the coming year will be
$289,969.91, representing 1.
713.457 pupil days of actual at
tendance at 16.9208 plus cents
per day per pupil. This, said
Mrs. Booth, is about 1 cent per
day per pupil less than received
from the fund last year.
Last year the state school sup
port fund, she said, reduced
property taxes levied for school
purposes by about 29 percent,
or in other words, the levy vot
ed was about 61 percent of what
it would have been had there
been no such fund.
The school superintendent's
office has also received this
week an enhancement of its
funds of $21,359 allocated from i
the state irreducible school
fund.

Ruling Made for
Board of Nurses
The state nurses examining
board does not have authority
to charge an additional $10 fee
for a second examination in
case an applicant fails to pass
the first state board examina
tion. Attorney General George
Neuner ruled today.
Duly Calls to
Aid Industry
"In planning vacatoins, be
sure to set aside some time for
patriotic work in the vital food
processing industry of Marion
and Polk counties," is the word
being sent out by the Salem
canners committee which has
been setting up a plan of ac
tion. The committee believes
that thousands full and part
time workers will be needed
to help preserve the area's fruit
and vegetable crops. Seasonal
workers will in no way be
"frozen" to supplementary can
nery jobs under the new pri
ority referral program of the
war manpower commission.
Speaking for the committee,
Chairman Dick Rentfro, person
nel manager of the Reid Mur
doch company, said that only
year-round employes of the
food-processing industry are re
quired to obtain work clear
ances before changing to other
jobs. Housewives, students and
men on vacation or working
supplemental shifts on a part
time basis are not limited in
any way by the manpower con
trol regulations.
That there is no immediate
need for additional cannery
workers was admitted by Rent
fro. "But now is the time to
arrange your domestic or oth
er responsibilities in such a
way that you will be available
for full or part time work in
August and September when
the need for your services is
great," Rentfro urged. "Tons
of beans, pears, peaches and
prunes may depend for process
ing on the patriotic efforts of
you, the adult members of your
family and your neighbors."
Organized to coordinate ad
vertising and publicity for la
bor recruiting campaigns, the
Salem canners committee in
cludes, in addition to Rentfro,
Wayne Yocom, Blue Lake Pro
ducers and Elmore Hill, Paulus
Brothers. Last year's commit
tee serves as ex-officio mem
bers and is composed of O. E.
Snider, Blue Lake; W. B. Bak
er, Hunt Brothers, and Ralph
Steele, California Packing cor
poration. Employment registrations are
being taken at all canneries in
Salem, West Salem, Woodburn,
Silverton, Stayton and Liberty
and by the Salem USES office.

Wheat Crop to
Be Allocated
Washington, July 21 WH The
war food administration an
nounced today it will allocate
this year's wheat supply even
though the current domestic
crop outlook is the best in the
nation's history.
WFA said that while the
1944-4S wheat supply probably
would exceed 1,500,000,000 bu
shels, which should not only
meet all essential requirements
for this crop year but should
also provide a substantial carry
over as a protection against
possibilities of shorter supplies
next year, last year's carry
over, as of July 1, 1944, was
50.000,000 bushels.
Wheat estimates on July 1 in
dicated a harvest of 1,128,000,
000 bushels compared with 836,
000,000 bushels last year. The
largest previous harvest in 1915
slightly exceeded 1,000,000,000
bushels.
Supply and requirements fi
gures for this fiscal year shows
that stocks on hand, expected
imports and estimated produc
tion will run between 1525 and
1550 million bushels while re
quirements will be about 1115
million bushels. Of this amount
931,000,000 bushels are ear
marked for civilian food, feed,
seed and industrial uses, 118,
000,000 bushels for U.S. mili
tary and war services and for
allies, territories and other
friendly nations and about 65,
000,000 bushels for relief of
liberated areas.
The remainder of about 435,-
000. 000 bushels will represent
a possible carry-over on July
1, 1945, although it may be re
duced somewhat by larger use
for feed than now is indicated.
Republicans
Rap Roosevelt
Washington, July 21 (IP) Re
publican congressmen in a se
ries of statements issued here
today termed President Roose
velt's acceptance of a fourth
term nomination a step towards
"disaster" and said it had "left
the people cold," but democrat
ic lawmakers who passed up
the Chicago conclave to remain
in Washington spoke enthusi
astically of "keeping a winning
team in action."
Typical comment:
Rep. Ploeser (R., Mo.): "If
Roosevelt is reelected I believe
we will be disastrously near the
end of representative govern
ment." Rep. Siker (D., Fla.): "We
must retain a democratic ad
ministration because the re
publicans are so close to being
isolationists now that they will
resume such an outlook as soon
as they can."
Through his office here, Sen.
Moore (R., Okla.), who is at his
Tulsa home, said "While we
feared that the willingness of
the president to stand for a
fourth term was inevitable, the
actual confession of the farce
leaves the American people
cold."
Sen. Willis (R., Ind.): "When
the American people realize the
sinister portent of a fourth term
their sound judgment will
prompt them to grant Mr.
Roosevelt his expressed desire
to spend the rest of his days
in Hyde Park."
Rep. Bloom (D., N.Y.); "We
ought to keep a winning team
in action. There have been
some remarks about tired old
men, but age is not in a man's
years, only in his mind."
Shadow of Plane
Alarmed Aleut Pilot
Seattle, July 21 (JP) Lt. E. E.
Ogren brought from the Aleu
tians today the strange story
of how he tried to escape an
aerial phantom over Paramu
shiro and found it was only his
own plane's eerie shadow.
The 29-year-old Arkansas
City, Kans., pilot is a member
of the self-styled "Empire Ex
press" raiders, a section of
which has returned to the
states.
"I was right over the tar
get," he explained in an inter
view, "when I happened to
glance over my shoulder and.
saw another plane flying for
mation with me. None of us had
encountered any night flyers
over Paramushiro before, but
I thought the Jap had pulled a
surprise on us.
"It certainly looked as if
this plane was ready to make a
run on me. I tried all sorts of
