By Virgil Pinkley
London, Auk. 21 U.R) The radio church service wis conclud
ing a the pastor intoned: "Lord teach ui to be forgiving of our
nemie." Then wham, and 1 "had it." 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,

Rye and Wheat
Lead Recovery
Chicago, Aug. 21 U. 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.

roar in or the motor cut off.
Usually before they hit and loos
en their ton of explosive 'he
robots sptjtter and cough once
or twice like a cold outboard
motor, before they cut off, glide
briefly and explode. This one
hadn't.
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."

More Dried Eggs
Washington, Aug. 21 P)
Seeking to bolster the unstable
efig market, the war food ad

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

Tomato Blight
Control Urged
During the past two or three
seasons there have been reports
of late blight attacking toma
toes in Ihe Willamette valley
about this time of year. 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

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

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

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. The indications of Oregon
production are for a 1944 crop
of $1,771,000 bushels, compared
with 1.386,000 bushels in 1943,
and a 10-year average of 1,506,
000 bushels. California produc
tion this year is down, estimat
ed at 7,126.000 bushels, against
a 43 crop of 11,293.000, and a
10-year average of 8,392,999
bushels.
WFA stated that rates of pay
ment in the equalization pay
ment program are to be determ
ined on the basis of bids submit
ted by canners, who must state
the price per ton for raw pears
they require as reimbursement
to enable them to buy pears in
specified areas outside their
normal areas of supply, and sell
the canned product within their
ceiling prices. All payments will
be made through the commodity
credit corporation, on the basis
of bids accepted by the office
of distribution. Further details
will be announced by the re
gional office of distribution,
WFA, San Francisco.

Canned Pea
Ceilings Upped t
Washington, Aug. 21 M -
Price ceiling increases for pro
cessors of the 1944 pack of
canned peas were announced
yesterday by the office of price
administration.
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.
