New Wheat Plan
J Washington, May S W.B Ore-
"Jon wheat grower today urged
J a two-price system for market
in lng wheat to cut down surpluses
and avoid strict government
acreage controls.
m -The plan was presented to
a house agriculture subcommittee
Llby R. B. Taylor, wheat produc-
er of Umatilla county. Ore. The
subcommittee is studying the
a long-range farm program re
cently outlined by agriculture
r secretary Charles F. Brannan
J Taylor said his plan is self-
w financing and "therefore not
j continual drain on the public
treasury." He proposed that
j flour millers be required to buy
certificates for all wheat to be
used for human food in the U. S
t The price of the certificates
would be the difference between
, the market price and the govern-
ment support level. This extra
J cost would be reflected In re-
tail prices.
JJ The certificate would be pur-
chased from the wheat farmer
J They would be Issued to each
farmer for his proportionate
J share of the total crop needed
for human food.
J Wheat moving Into other do
k mestic uses or into the export
trade would move at a lower
J price.

Truman Happy
On Berlin Issue
Washington, May 8 UP) Pre
sident Truman said today he is
very happy over the Big Four
agreement to lift the Berlin
blockade and consider the
whole German problem at a
session of foreign ministers In
Paris.
Asked if the foreign minis
ters' meeting might be followed
by one with Premier Stalin and
Prime Minister Attlee, he told
his news conference he sees no
necessity for a meeting of heads
of state.
The president would not
comment on a report that Gen.
Lucius D. Clay, retiring U.S.
commander in Germany had
expressed fear the present
agreement with Russia might be
just a temporary truce.
He made it clear that all ne
gotiations leading to the agree
ment to lift the blockade were
conducted by Roving Ambassa
dor Philip C. Jcssup and that he
nad no personal communica
tions from Stalin.

Wallace Rapped
By Vandenberg
Washington, May 8 Wl Sena
tor Vandenberg (R., Mich.), re
buked Henry Wallace to his face
today for insisting before the
world "that your country is im
perialistic in attitude and ob
jectives." Wallace, former vice presi
dent and cabinet officer, was
testifying to the senate foreign
relations committee in opposi
tion to the north Atlantic se
curity alliance.
He called the pact "aggressive
to Russia" and accused the state
department of keeping secret a
Russian offer on March 21 to
lift the Berlin blockade.
And, Wallace said, there are
individuals of "evil actions" who
want to "enforce our will by
force in all parts of the world."
Finally, Vandenberg told him
he could not condone Wallace's
action "in going about insisting
that your country is imperialis
tic in attitude and objective
that it bent on world conquest
in one form or another."
"There is room in this field
for honest disagreement," Van
denberg said. "Some of us may
be just as sure we are seeking
peace as you are.
Vandenberg made this state
ment after Chairman Connally
(D., Tex.) had asked Wallace if
he wants this country to "sit
down and let Russia absorb the
world and do nothing about it?"
"I say that neither Russia nor
the United States is devoted to
obtaining peace. I don't hold a
brief for either one."
Grain Prices
Listed Easier
Chicago. May 8 W) Most
grain contracts eased on the
board of trade today, but the
May wheat delivery provided a
strong market all by itself. May
wheat was up more than a cent
most of the session on aggres
sive short-covering.
New crop wheat deliveries did
not follow May. They showed
weakness attributed to scatter
ed showers' in the spring wheat
territory
Other grains eased a bit dur
ing the day.
May wheat closed 1 to 2
cents higher at $2.20-2.20 Va.
Other wheat deliveries were
to lower.
Corn ended Vt- lower, May
$1.32 oats were unchanged
to y lower, May 66, rye was
to Vi higher, May $1.27y4
soybeans were 1 cent' lower to
higher, May $2.27 Vi-, and
lard was 8 cents lower to 3
cents a hundred pounds higher,
May $11.67.

The New
Even MBetter than it
Then too ohome its frwdi and flret new brsutT, it might seem unbelievable
hrn we ut that the 1944 Pontile is even better than it looks. But aftrr
you're examined its scorn of new comfort and quality fratun ... after you're
experienced its really etriting performance . . . we're sure you, too, will apes
that in baiir goodnnw, it surpasses its own good looks!
It's hard to brliere a car so low-priced could combine the flashing tlrekneM of
Pontiles new styling ... the gracious comfort of Poutiac's new Vbioo-Aira
interiors . . . and the almost incredible road-easing action of Pontiar's eiclusire
Trarelni" Ride. Add to those unique attractions, the "sing" ... the smooth.
nex ... the eronomr and nraW JrpmJabilily of Pontiac's famous improred
straight fight and til cylinder engines . . . and the matchless driving enjoyment
of GM Hydra-Malic tomi n i and you're got something almost irre.
sistiblel There's no better time than now ... to see it and to place your order.

Stock Market
Turns Irregular
New York, May 8 VP) Profit
taking sales slapped down an
early rise in the stock market
today.
At the final bell prices were
seesawing indecisively.
Gains and losses, mostly frac
tional, were thoroughly mixed.
Many leading issues swung back
and fourth between the plus and
minus sides.
Business was rapid in early
dealings, turnover was at a rate
approaching 1,000,000 shares for
the full day.
Early buying, as was the case
yesterday, was stimulated by
the possibility of improved re
lations with Russia as well as
house opposition to repeal of the
Taft-Hartley law.

May Add Floor
To Courthouse
Possibility of a floor added to
the new courthouse to make six
with the basement instead ot the
five floors as originally planned
was main meat for discussion at
a session of the building commis
sion Wednesday afternoon The
new floor would house th juve
nile department, separate it from
the jail quarters and keep from
juveniles the stigma of being jail
birds. Included would be a so
larium similar to that incorpor
ated in the new treatment ward
at the state hospital to give fresh
air and exercise facilities.
The idea was taken seriously
enough that County Judge Grant
Murphy directed rough estimates
be had as to the costs to see if
it can be held within the avail
able funds.
The original plan called for
both the jail and juvenile quar
ters in the fifth floor area. The
proposal now would give en
larged quarters so as to house
14 to 16 juvenile boys instead
of eight as had been contem
plated and space would be pro
vided for four girls. In the main
jail quarters are planned for 60
men and 10 women, while space
provided for mental cases await
ing disposition would be reduced
from six to quarters for one man
and one woman.
Among other subjects of dis
cussion was disposition of the
statue of justice on the tower of
the present building and possi
bility of preserving it and also
the question of installation of a
clock.
Minor alterations in floor
plans were gone over and re
vised plans will be submitted by
Architect Pietro Beluschi to in
terested officials.

cil. About 100 members of Mill-
