I wa blown from one tmd of the room over a aettee and against the wall at the other. My head roared. Gongs rang in my ears. The radio had gone dead. I ly there against the wall, feel ing my eyes. I heard glass telling. From outside came creams, moans and sobs. I got to my feet swaying, smelling moke and through the broken windows, saw a great funnel of debris 50 yards away. The apartment was a mess and the robot bomb had hit only in the vicinily. One door was knocked off the hinges and another had had its lock ripped ut. Waiting for an elevator which did not come I recalled that I had not heard that flying bomb Stocks Decline On Profit Taking New York, Aug. 21 Turther cheering war news brought modest bids for stocks with relatively bright peace prospects today but many mar ket leaders suffered from light liquidation. Continued weakness of se curities at London, attributed mainly to the feeling the nazis were approaching the end and that home industry might be in for troublesome experiences, tended to sober domestic inven tors who, during the preceding week, had been on the buying ride because of waning recon version worries. Transfers were around 800, 800 shares. Losses of fractions to a point or so were in the majority near the close.

Rye led a recovery in grain futures on the board of trade today, the rally stemming from the firm otton market and the proposed meeting between cotton shipper and members of the senate on parity prices. Rye finished the day up ls to 2Vt ccnls a bushel; wheal unchanged io up S; oats up H to fts, and barley quoted up V2 to one cent. Rye fulures rose 1 cents from early lows under local buying and restricted offerings. Outside Interest In this pit re mained light. Distilling demand appeared to have decreased and the trade awaited today's fig ures on the visible supply stocks here and at Buffalo. The trade generally regarded rye as selling at a wide discount under wheat and fairly evened up, hence the sidelines position for fresh developments. Wheat rallied with rye In dull trade. Some selling came from southwestern interests. The fav orable war news and improved eorn crop weather continued to be bearish factors offset by the mipport of Ihe loan and com modity credit corporation buy ing programs. Fairly active trade took place in oats and prices firmed with other grains. Some selling came from the northwest. Arms Dropped to Maquis Supreme Headquarters.

When I reached the lower floor the shattered glass of doors was littered half way up the stair cases. Reaching the street level reception hall I walked over a crust of glass. At the doorway desk the woman at tendant was bleeding severely. A moment later an ARP first aid worker rushed up and ap plied a bandage. "Whal a lovely Sunday morn ing packet," she said. I hurried several doors down the street ,to a large apartment house Into which the flying bomb had ploughed in near the top. Already ARP workers, bobbies, American GI's, sailors and Red Cross workers were ar riving. American privates, corporals and sergeants drove jeeps up over piles of glass, bricks and building stones into the build ing's entrance as police roped off the area and ambulances and fire engines drew up. Stumbling through the door way, came a father carrying his four or five year old daughter in his arms. The entire right side of her face had been sheared off. She was mercifully asleep forever Lord teach us to be forgiving of our enemies. The radio preacher's edict rang through my brain. The sobbing father said: "Those dirly baslards. Those dirty bastards." The American corporals said over and over as they backed their jeep off of piles of bricks: "Those ." Lord teach us to be forgiving of our enemies. Next to emerge were two women, bleeding. They were being half carried by two ARP workers and an RAF sergeant and pilot. Then came a steady stream of Sunday morning recipients of Germany's terror weapon, ap plied blindly to women, chil dren and old people. One young woman stumbled out on the arm of a policeman. She had tied a night gown around her badly cut arm. Two American MP's carried out an elderly man still wearing pa jamas whose Injured head was wrapped in a shirt. 1 was amazed at Ihe speed and efficiency with which the civilian defenses worked, aided by British and American serv icemen who served as volun teers. I left Ihe scene with a real heartache and walked past two beaten, broken churches, blast ed in the big blitz of former years and they reminded me of that dead child and the sermon. Then I found two tiny splin ters of glass In my fingers. I looked at my hat. It contained dozens of glass plinters and needles. Some of them were transferred to my fingers when I put it on. I will never forget the dead child and "Lord teach us to be forgiving to our enemies." Markets Briefed (Br Ihf tlnitfd Pre Stocks irregularly lower in moderately active trading.

WFA to Buy More Dried Eggs Washington, Aug. 21 P) Seeking to bolster the unstable efig market, the war food ad ministration announced today it will purchase additional am ounts of dried whole eggs manufactured during Septem ber, to fill new lend-lease re quirements. The WFA did not designate the destination of the eggs but trade sources said they will go to Russia. For the month of September egg driers may offer dried whole eggs through the WFA to 100 per cent of their plant capacity. Driers offering such powdered eggs must certify that their product was made from fresh shell eggs purchas ed on the current market for drying, and at prices in line with government support prices. This purcha.se program is in addition to one already in ef fect under which the WFA has offered lo purchase up to 50 per cent of driers' capacity, for the months of September through January. Offerings of powdered eggs under the September-January program may be manufactured from driers backlog of shell and frozen eggs purchased last spring when egg production was al its peak. Crash on Bridge Due to Illness When Chat-Ins Whitcher, 80, of Lebanon, became suddenly ill while driving his car across Ihe inter-county bridge Sunday af ternoon he collided with an other vehicle, the bannister and a lamp post on the bridge and his car was overturned. Whit cher is at Salem General hos pital where it was said his con dition is only fair. Ivan Wilbur Osterman.

This is a fungus disease ordinarily attacking the leaves of the plant first, causing areas of the leaves to turn brown to black in color. In the later stages of develop ment of this disease a whole field which Is infected may appear to have been hit by a heavy frost. First symptoms of the disease on the fruit show up on green partially ripened tomatoes and spots appear In irregular form more or less sunken darkened areas on the surface. There seems to be no clear line of distinction be tween the healthy and infested tissue. Best control methods yet found have consisted of appli cations of copper contained in spray or dust. Sulphur should never be used on tomatoes but a properly prepared Bordeaux spray has been found to be very effective. A 4-2-100 Bordeaux formula is recommended. Cop per lime dusts have been quite effective where no spraying equipment is available for the application of Bordeaux. The first spray or dust appli cation should be applied usually around the first of September. Of coarse this date would de pend on weather conditions. It may need to be applied dur ing August if the blight should appear, or if late summer and early fall rains commence ear lier. Later applications of spray may be necessary at ten days to two weeks intervals as long as the threat of rain and continu ed wet conditions exist. Where dusts are used applications prob ably will need to be made once a week during the inspection period. Complete information of this control of late blight of tomatoes is available through the county agent's office. Wheal Lower At Portland Portland, Aug. 21 iiPi The same old story, "uncharged to slightly lower" was told of the Portland wheat market for the week just ended, the war food administration reported today. Hard red winter and hard white with 12 portein, however, ended the period somewhat higher than a week ago. Demand was almost nil from all classes of buyers, especially coast mills. Extreme difficulty in obtain 12 percent protein hard white account for the price rise in that division. The new crop is reported ot be running low in protein content. The C.C.C. was out with $1.45 a bushel support price at the week's end, seeking wheat in storage in Portland terminals, with coast transit. Wheat receipts at Portland for the week we're 465 cars, the total for all Puget sound and Columbia river terminals 1190 cars. Most of this was C.C.C. grain shipped for terminal stor age. Growers were hesitant to sell since the price was either at or slightly under loan val ues. . Conditions in Oregon were favorable for harvest, which is nearly ended in some earlier winter wheat areas. Conditions were unfavorable for late spring grain, which is show ing considerable deterioration. Slowness ruled likewise in principal midwestern markets, but rye, oats and barley firmed as demand broadened. Battle of France Held Decisive Victory London, Aug. 21 W The force of more than 1.000.000 men which Germany had in France when the allies invaded Normandy is now so badly beat en that only a very small frac tion will be able to reach the German frontier, Robert E. Sherwood, overseas director of Ihe OWI, said tonight. In a broadcast over the Am erican station in Europe. Sher wood called the battle of France one of the decisive battles of military history. He said the German seventh army, the most powerful enemy force in France, had been given a terrific beating and that allied armies on the Ri viera in the south are definitely ahead of schedule. tr.

Fruits Leave By Air Tuesday For New York Market Salem blackberries and peaches will be flown on a United Air Lines cargo lines Tuesday, August 22, with produces from other major Pacific coast points as the first full plane load of OPA Aid for Turkey Men Not only will the government move out 21 carloads of frozen turkeys from this area a month earlier than anticipated in or der to open up storage room for the pear crop now just around the corner but the war food ad ministration has announced that it has authorized equalization payments which will permit canners outside of the north west pear producing area to help process an expected surplus of Bartlett pears in this area and sell them within their ceiling prices. The program, said WFA is designed to encourage a maxi mum production of canned pears in the Pacific coast area to more fully meet civilian needs and to utilize the expected in crease in production in Oregon and Washington. The announc ed support price for Oregon and Washington for canning pears will average $73 a ton. Such payments, announces the bulletin from WFA, would per mit canners to pay growers in surplus areas the announced support price for canning pears and ship the pears from sur plus areas to their canning plants and process and sell them within their ceiling prices. The 1944 Bartlett pear pro duction in Washington is esti mated to be 5.888.000 bushels, nearly two million bushels over the 1943 production of 3,906.000 bushels, and about a million and a half bushels more than the 10-year average of 4,374, 000.

Retail ceilings will be the same as last year, OPA said, since the added return to can ners will be subsidized under the commodity credit corpora tion agreement intended to hold the price line on certain canned foods. The new prices do not cover wholesalers and retailers who establish their prices by fixed mark-ups. The pricing formula for processors is the same as that recently announced for can ned spinach, asparagus, and red sour pitted cherries. The regulation provides speci fied amounts for each producing area, which may be added to the 1941 base prices of eaW processor. In addition, OPA ha' set upper and lower limits on the ceilings. If a processor's price, arrived at by use of the formula, is higher than the up per range, it must be brought down to the top limit: if lower than the bottom limit, it may be brought up to that point. OPA gave these exambles of the permitted increase over 1941 prices, and the price ranges within which ceilings must fall: For fancy No. 3 sieve Alaska peas, No. 2 cans, the increase allowed in area 5 (Pacific coast) is 36 cents per dozen cans, and the price range is $1.46 to $1.66. For fancy No. 4 sieve sweet peas, No. 2 cans, the increase allowed in area 5 is 36 centsjv dozen cans and the price rang is $1.39 to $1.59.
