Canneries Issue Calls
For Bean Pack Workers
Largest bean packs will probably be filling planU here In the
next two weeks when extra cannery workers will be most needed,
according to Egbert E. Oliver, cannery labor coordinator, who
ays that both men and women Z 7
u. . .t ih p.i. Schaeffer especially urges busi-
Ifornla packing corporation and
the Blue Lake Producer s co
operative immediately.
California pack personnel
manager John Schaeffer sends
out a call for 35 to 40 men on
the night or victory shift and
for 125 more women on the full

Easing of Meat
Rations Looms
Washington, Aug. 11, U.R
An early easing of meat and
fat rationing soon after V-J day
became a distinct possibility today.
A well-placed source said the
outlook was bright for cutting
of red-point values. He also
said that ending of rationing on
many and perhaps all blue-point
processed foods was likely soon
after V-J day.
Lower ranking spokesmen
previously had indicated that
sudden Improvement in the do
mesne food situation was un
likely because demobilization
will be gradual and foreign
needs heavy.
It was generally agreed that
gasoline rationing will be end
ed within a matter of days af
ter the war ends. Tires, shoes,
clothing will become more
abundant.
The brighter food prospects
were backed by a new agricul
ture department announcement
that this year's crops, In gener
al, will b the third largest In
history.
Oregon Lamb
Crop Smallest
Portland, Aug. 11 U.R) Ore
gon's 1945 lamb crop is estimat
ed to be the smallest on record
since estimates were started In
1924, a department of agricul
ture report said today.
The smaller crop is laid to a
reduction In the number of
breeding ewes on hand. The cur
rent lamb crop Is 12 percent be
low that of 1944 and 39 percent
below the 10-year average pro
duction. Hang feed conditions were
reported as below average dur
ing the fall and winter months
but death losses were held to a
minimum largely due to mild
weather during the winter and
spring lambing period. Death
losses from predatory animals
have been generally less than
a year earlier, due partly to the
Increased attention given in 1949
to predatory animal control.
Sheepmen pointed out var
ious unfavorable factors respon
sible for a gradual reduction in
the sheep and lamb population
In Oregon In recent years. Be
ginning in 1931, stock sheep
were reduced 40 percent over an
11-year period and there has
been further reduction from
1942 to 1945. Ia addition, sheep
men have held a minimum num
ber of replacement ewe lambs
In recent years with the result
that the average age nf breed
ing ewes on hand has Increased.
Hop Properties at
Silverfon Good
Sllverton, Aug. 11 With ear
ly rains promoting growth and
a few hot days that came at
the right time for hops, the pro
apective yield in the yards ad
jacent to Silverton Is good.

ness girls and housewives to
register for the victory shift
from 7 p.m. to midnight. Men
are also needed for warehouse
help. Beets, now running on the
night and day shift, will last
until February at the California
packing company,
Mrs. Verla Beckett, In charge
of personnel for the Blue Lake
plant, tells of a need for 100
more women on the 7:30-8:00
night shift, and for 50 more
women on the day shift. Work
in also open to boys and girls
over 16 with a permit. Beans
will last there until September
25, with peaches starting August
20, beets next Monday, and corn,
September 1.
Because growers for the Paul
us Bros, packing company have
been sending In comparatively
small loads up to this time, a
sufficient number of workers
are employed there, but produc
tion Is expected to Increase soon.
The Stayton bean cannery has
been running full blast for its
first week, Oliver says, and the
Silverton labor is also satis
factory. Some beans are going
through the Woodburn plant.
Dr. Oliver reports that most
cannery men expect the beans
to run slightly Into September.
War Contract
(Continued from Pag 1)
and the war manpower commis
sion has been Instructed to get
set to handle the reemployment
problem that will be occasion-
ed.
5 Million To Lose Jobs
Government officials esti
mated today that perhaps 5,
000,000 munition workers will
lose their jobs within 60 days
after Japan surrenders.
This news as peace negoti
ations continued, was in sharp
contrast with another homefront
prospect the end of gasoline
rationing two or three weeks af
ter V-J day and elimination of
travel restrictions a few months
later.
The estimate of the cut in
munitions employment, made by
qualified officials who asked
anonymity, would trim by
about 63 per 'cent the total of
around 8,000,000 workers now
engaged in war production.
Half Divided Jobs
Of the 5,000,000 slated for re
lease, It was said that a great
number perhaps half would
leave the labor market and
would not be classed as jobless.
The others would be added
to the current unemployment
roll to swell the total to around
4,000,000 persons.
How long it will take for the
majority of these to be absorb
ed in civilian production is any
body's guess, the officials said,
although they look for open
ings quickly in peacetime in
dustries.

Bean Harvest at
Lebanon Well Along
Lebanon, Aug. 1 1 Most bean
growers in the Lebanon area
now have pickers in their
yards and by the beginning of
next week all local yards will
be in the process of harvesting.
Picking here started August 1
but due to the cool nights beans
have not ripened as quickly as
expected.
The local farm labor office
managed by E. N. Brenner re
ports that 660 pickers have reg
istered so far and are working
in the fields. By the end of
next week local growers will
need 800 workers.
The crop looks good, it is re
ported, and after the first or
second picking, workers should
be able to pick record amounts.
All persons willing to help
save this war-vital crop for a
food-starved world are urged to
register at once with the farm
labor office, Central Lane, Leb
anon. The phone number is
3252.
Earle Carkin in New
Position With UAL
Karle Carkin, former resident
of Salem, has been named air
cargo representative for Unit
ed Air Lines at Chicago, ac
cording to word received by
friends licre.
Caikin, who was reared at
Salem, attended the University
of Oregon and was agent for
the Pacific Truck and Express
company at Salem and Eugene
in 1938 and 1939. He joined
United in January, 1942. In his
new position he will assist in
facilitating movement of the
company's heavy volume of
war vital cargoes and air mail
out of Chicago.
He is the son of John H. Car
kin, superintendent of transpor
tation for the Oregon public
utilities commission.
Grain Prices
Drop Sharply
Chicago, Aug. 11, (U.R) The
allied answer to Japan outlin
ing peace terms coupled with
last night's bearish crop report
set off a wave of selling on the
board of trade today. Prices
dropped sharply in pre-week-end
liquidation.
July rye, after tumbling
down to $1.24 a bushel, the five
cent limit allowed under ex
change rules, rallied more than
two cents on the close In ex
tremely nervous trade.
Wheat finished the day off
'4 to 4 Va cents a bushel; corn
off 'A to 1; oats off 2 to 2V4;
rye off 1 'A to 3 'M ; and barley
off 2'A to sy..
September wheat continued
to resist the general downward
trend as support buying against
cash wheat sales to the govern
ment prompted relative steadi
ness in this delivery. However,
even this business was less ag
gressive. July wheat broke
three cents at one point to a new
low.
While the trade had antici
pated an increase in the Aug
ust 1 wheat forecast, the bear
ish confirmation in view of a
possible easing of transporta
tion facilities in the near fut
ure, brought pressure and act
ive liquidation.
Kims iy Back
In Penitentiary
Charles Kimzey, 60, state
penitentiary convict who es
caped a week ago, was back in
custody at the prison today af
ter his capture by a prison
guard late yesterday.
Kimzey, a life term prisoner
who was in prison for armed
robbery In Deschutes county,
and as an habitual criminal,
made no move to fight Prison
Guard Donald Johnson. John
son nabbed the prisoner within
15 minutes after he made his
first appearance on a public
road after escaping from the
prison annex farm gang, last
Saturday. Johnson was off duty
at the time.
He was returned to the prison
and placed In the lisciplinary
"buli pen."
Irrigation Ditches
Flood Farm Lands
After Investigation by county
commissioner Roy Rice and
Judge Grant Murphy of plugged
irrigation ditches in West Stay
ton which were causing water
to flood back over the highway
and isrrn lands there, they re
port that the county will as
sist in clearing out the road
side ditches, but recommend
that installation of a new drain
age system is the best solution
lo the problem.
The roads are flooded because
part of the land receiving ex
tensive irrigation is not prop
erly drained, according to the
county officers, who maintain
however that the road damage
is secondary. Farm lands in
the pond area affected by the
clog are owned by Leon Hilton,
Ben Chamberlain, and Earl Van
Nuys. The Beals farm is also
covered.
Surplus Potato ,
Campaign Starts
Portland, Aug. 11 The
food industry advisory commit
tee of the USDA office of sup
ply today planned a campaign
to boost the sale of surplus
northwest potatoes.
Cecil R. Tulley, office repre
sentative, said the surplus was
caused by these factors: (1) can
cellation of army contracts for
potatoes needed for dehydra
tion, (2) the refrigerator car
shortage, (3) hot weather which
caused early riponing, (4) large
acreages of early potatoes.

Field Days for
Guernsey Men
The Oregon State Guernsey
Breeders association, C, A.
Smith, Medford, president, and
Charles A. Evans, secretary
treasurer, has arranged a series
of Guernsey field days which
are of interest to all breeders
of Guernsey cattle in the state.
The meetings have been so ar
ranged as to make it possible
for the greatest number of
breeders to attend without in
convenience. The first meeting is to be held
August 13 at the Fred Rudat
farm, Brownsmead, in Columbia
county about 20 miles east of
Astoria. The next meeting will
be held August 14 at the Henry
Boeckman and Edwin Ridder
farms on highway 217 two miles
north of Wilsonville in Clacka
mas county. The next meeting
is to be held Wednesday, Au
gust 15 at Prairie Bloom Guern
sey farm, Junction City, which
is located about four miles
southeast on Prairie road. The
last meeting Is to be held Au
gust 17 at the Cloverhill Guern
sey farm, Medford.
Mr. Smith and Harold Ewalt,
extension dairymen of Oregon
State college, will be judges.
Elmer J. Meadows, field repre
sentative of the American
Guernsey cattle club, will act
as ringmaster with the assis
tance of the various county
chairmen. This is an oppor
tunity for all breeders of Guern
sey cattle whether registered
or grade, to meet and learn
about the classification pro
gram which is now being con
sidered by the parent organiza
tion. The program will start at
11 in the morning and will be
concluded in ample time for
the various breeders to return
to their farms in time to care
for their own herds.

Japs to Tell
Story on Radio
(By the. Associated Press)
Tottering Japan will broad
cast next Monday a "sensational
message people of the war-torn
world have been longing to
hear," radio Tokyo reported
Friday.
The startling announcement
said the broadcast will be made
at 1:30 p.m., August 13 (9:30
p.m. PWT Sunday) but gave no
implication of its nature other
than it would be "direct from
the people of Japan."
Tokyo radio interrupted a
regular program to warn its
listeners "They will not want
to miss the urgent news of vital
Importance to everyone."
Radio monitors throughout
the world were urged to record
"this all-Jmportant event."
The announcement of next
Monday's broadcast was tran
scribed by the American Broad
casting company in San Francisco.
Domel news agency inabroad
cast Intercepted by the FCC,
said the Yomiuri Hochi news
paper carried a headline 'this
morning that "Russia joins war
in order to cooperate in early
conclusion of war."
Domei declared all Nipponese
metropolitan papers acted to
gether to "splash under banner
headlines the news of the so
viet union's war on Japan."
Texts of imperial headquar
ters communiques on the soviet
invasion of Manchuria and Rus
sia's declaration of war were
published "without comment" in
all the dailies, Dome! said.
Domei also admitted that at
tacks by carrier planes and
Superfortresses had caused
"some damage" on Honshu isl
and and reported more Super
forts over Japan than did the
official American communique.
