Roosevelt Urges States to Act
Speedily on Highway Program
Washington, Dec. 21 iPi State and loca'. governments can
," start planning today their projects under the $3,173,250,000 three-
year post-war highway program
ing in 1915 should give "prompt
'and vigorous attention" to the
highway program, President
' Hoosevelt said in signing the
measure setting it up.
The program, Mr. Roosevelt
said, "becomes a challenge to
the states, counties and cities
which must originate the spe
cific projects and get the pro
gram ready for construction
after the war ends."
" Stales would supply $1,500,
000,000 on a 50-50 matching
WFA to Buy
'45 Wool Crop
'f Washington, Dec. 21 JPi
WFA said today it will offer to
buy the 1 045 domestic wool
r clip at ceiling prices, less al
lowances to cover transportation
and marketing costs and a serv
ice fee.
, , The new war food adminis
r tration purchase program will
, be essentially the same as those
in effect since 1943. They are
designed to assure growers near
coiling prices.
Under the same ceilings now
in effect, growers received an
average of about 41 cents a
pound for wool sold to the gov
ernment in 1D43 and 1044.
WFA has bought 558,000,000
pounds of domestic wool under
the programs. Of this amount,
the agency has sold about 215,
000,000 pounds, principally for
the manufacture of military
fabrics.
-' Little domestic wool has been
going Into civilian garments be
cause prices of imported wools
have been somewhat lower.
Sales of govern men t-o w n e d
. wool are made at the ceiling
prices.

Santa and the Music Box
By I.uciece
SynopM..: limits, the ni'de iter's helper,
'Who Iihs won the Miihic Ilnx from the
Witches of I'oldrex because II can cure

and takes off for Hunln land.
ChupTrr 16
Santa to the Itesene Snnla
and Mrs, Clans were sitting in
their little kitchen while all the
Santa Land workers stood in the
cottage yard talking in low
voices.
The Princess Kuth was very
III and everyone knew that she
would die very soon unless she
ami led. The little workers were
so disturbed they could do nn
more work even though
(Christmas was almost upon
!flicm.
"It would be different, " mum
bled one lung-eared dwarf, "if
all th.il were needed was a small
.smile. I could wriggle inv ears
and that almost always makes
folks lough. It would give the
princess a (piarler-ineh smile.
1 am sure but a three-inch
smile, never!"
"Of course nut!" whispered a
pretty fairy with blur and gold
wings. "Santa has said that
nothing will save her but the
Magic Music Box."
The brownies and elves and
fairies shook their heads in
silence. For n lout; while lhcre
was no more talking as they
huddled together outside Santa s
cottage waiting and hoping for
sight of the boy returning with
the box.
Finally, one shouted, "Here
he comes' Here he conies!"
"At the shout everyone turned
and Santa himself ran out from
the cottage and stood peering
across the snow covered fields
The Turtle Arrives
; Bui right away they saw it
wasn't Louis hut only an old
turtle waddling towards them
A wail of dissappointment went
lip. Only Santa did not turn
away. Ho went up to meet the
turtle.
. "My old friend," he greeted
him. "It's been many, many
years since you have been to
Santa Land."
The 44 state legislatures meet-
basis to be eligible for the
larger share of the federal funds
authorized by the bill.
Congress in authorizing the
federal contribution did not
make an actual appropriation
for this purpose. That will
come later.,
Designed partly to help ease
possible after-war unemploy
ment, the legislation embodies
several significant changes in
national policy for highway de
velopment, Mr. Roosevelt said.
He mentioned the authority
for designation by federal and
state governments of an inter
regional highway network. The
measure likewise "gives prac
tical recognition to the trans
portation problem of our cities
by extending federal aid to
projects in urban areas which
will reduce traffic congestion
and accidents." he noted.
Included were sizeable au
thorizations for farm-to-market
roads serving rural areas the
president said, adding that funds
were authorized on a matching
basis with the states for at least
starting "the huge task of re
placing . , . roads on our federal-aid
system which are being
worn out ... by wartime traf
fic." The program calls for the fed
eral government and the states
to pay $225,000,000 each for
each of the three years on the
regular federal-aid highway
system, $150,000,000 each on
secondary, including farm-to-market
roads and $125,000,000
each on federal highways enter
ing cities.
British Open
Continued from Pago 1 1
to Archbishop Damask inos as
regent. It was staled last night
that Premier George Papan
dreou had advised the king by
message to accept such a re
gency. Some cabinet members,
however, are understood to
have urged the king to oppose
such a move.
With the extension of the
British "island" in the center
of Athens, Anglo-American re
lief agencies began distributing
60 tons of canned meat to 75,
000 inhabitants in the cleared
area with an avernge of 3B
ounces going to each recipient
at a cost of about five cents.
Free soup was distributed to
1 0,000 persons In Athens yes- j
terday, but another 1200
planned servings had to be can
celled in the late afternoon be
cause of sniping.
Ihuli;ins
"Yes," grunted the turtle,
nearly overcome with weari
ness. "And I would not have
made the long voyage this time
had it not been for a message
a boy asked me to bring you."
Then all gathered around
while t he turtle told Santa how
Louis had lost both his magic
shoes and how the witches cap-
! lured him in the marsh just as
j the turtle set sail in his shell.
I "I would have brought the
j music box myself." he finished,
I "but there was not room enough
j for it and me in my shell."
! Now indeed all the Santa
; Laud folk were heavy hearted
But before any could speak
there was a sound on the porch
behind them. Turning, they
saw the Princess Ruth standing
there, the tears streaming down
her face,
j She ran and threw her arms
' around Simla. "Oh. please."
; she sobbed. "Can t vou save
j Louis? "
Santa patted the little girl's
! shoulder. "We will try," lie
! promised.
Santa turned to the workers.
( "I am going after the boy," he
said. ''Anyone who wants to go
can climb into the sleigh,"
Kestue Party Starts
i Within two seconds every
worker in Santa Land was run
' ning towards the red sleigh.
Then, slowly, the sleigh rose
into the sky and started off
across the great sea,
Meanwhile, Louis had been
raptured by the three witches.
"They tied his feet and hands to
' the marsh grass so that he could
' not run away,
"Why don't you let ine go?"
j begged Louis for the last time.
: "What does it matter to you?"
"We are witches," the sist-
ers reminded him unhappily.
: "If you had no heart you would
! understand why we have to be
;evil even when we don't want
to be."
i .hist at that moment there was
a ro.tring of wind in the north
j ern sky and, looking up, Louis
; and the three sisters saw Santa
and all his workers riding down
i out of the sky.

Output of Cheese
Surpasses Butter
Output of American or Ched
dar cheese surpassed the pro
duction of butter in the first
half of 1944 for the first time
in the history of records of Ore
gon manufactured dairy prod
ucts according to figures just re
leased jointly by the federal bu
reau of agricultural economics
and the Oregon state depart
ment nf agriculture. During the
first half of 1944. rhrddar
cheese production in Oregon
reached 1 :t,l!5:t.()00 pounds and
butter production totaled
05(i,000 pounds, In the corre
sponding period of 194: butter
output was nearly 2 ' i million
pounds greater than the cheese
made. Butter was manufactur
ed in 7fi plants. 10 less than in
the first half of 1043.
Evaporated milk production,
at 2:1.4 1 5.000 pounds, was 2fi
percent more than in the first
half of 194M. A tremendous in
crease over six times as much
was recorded in the make of
dried whole milk, with 2.(15(1.000
pounds of this dairy commodity
produced in Oregon plants in
the first six months of 1944. A
three percent increase was re
ported in dried whey produc
tion, to 5.509.000 pounds.

Virus Parley
Call Issued
Regulatory officials, plant
pathologists, entomologists and
horticulturists of the western
states have been called to Ore
gon for a western states virus
conference to be held Thursday,
January 1 1, on the Oregon State
college campus under a .ioint
invitation of the state college
at Corvallis and the state de
partment of agriculture,
The one-day session, which
will be open to all Oregonian
nurserymen and fruit growers,
will be devoted exclusively to a
study of virus diseases of stone
fruits and the various phases of
the problems involved. Effort
will be made to weld some uni
form procedure for meeting the
problems of this increasing men
ace io the stone fruit industries

Ex-Senatorr Dies
Concord, N.H.. Dec. 21
George Higgins Moses, 75, for
mer U.S. senator from New
Hampshire and widely known
republican leader, died last night
al his home.
Once described as "the most
exciting man in American pub
lic life," he served three times
in the United States senate. He
lost his seat in the democratic
landslide of 1932.
He had been ill in a Concord
hospital for over a year and had i
just returned to his home for!

bosis. J
His widow and his only son,
Gordon were with him when
he died. During the past few
years he had served as chairman
of the board of directors of the
Rumford Press and had been
working on an autobiography.
He first went to the United
States senate in 1918 to fill the
unexpired term of t he late Ja
cob H. Gallinger and he soon
became widely known for his
fearless independence and gain
ed a reputation as a shrewd po
litical dopester.
Moses was president pro tem
pore of the U.S. senate for eight
years before his enforced retire
ment in 19.'i2. He enjoyed a rep
utation as one of the nation's
most pungent phrase-makers
during his career as a legislator,
diplomat and scholar.
Before entering the senate he
served as U.S. minister to
Greece and Montenegro from
1909 to 1912. and knew inti
mately the European personages
of that day.
The number of milk cows in
the United States at the begin
ning of 1943 was estimated by
the U.S. department of agricul
ture as 26.946.000.
