Demos Endorse
Brannan Plan
! Des Moines, June 14 UP) De
imocrats will stake their hopes
for another midwestern farm
ibelt victory in 1950 on the Tru
jman administration's new farm
i plan promising cheaper food
land farmer prosperity,
i A 18-state democratic mid
'west conference voted yesterday
to support the controversial
'program advanced by Secretary
of Agriculture Brannan and
endorsed by President Truman.
Composed of state party offi
cials, the conference made this
decision after hearing Brannan
and other top-ranking adminis
tration leaders advance the pro
posal as a sure-fire measure for
preventing a new farm depres-
don, and as a victory vehicle
next year's congressional
elections.
This stand was taken in the
(face of sharp opposition to the
plan by the powerful American
farm Bureau Federation. This
farm organization, which has
hiore members in the midwest
area than any other farm group,
has endorsed the long-range
Aiken (R-Vt) farm law passed
by the republican 80th congress,
i Farm belt democrats said
they were willing to let farm
ers choose between the admin-
Istr a 1 1 o n ' s so-called Brannan
plan and the Aiken law.
i It was in the midwest that
president Truman staged a sur
prising victory in tne presiden
tial race last year,
i Republicans have declared
(heir intention to try to pull the
traditionally - GOP farm vote
back Into the party fold next
year.

And CALGHt1 1
'I and the decree held the annex
ation as lega
Lutz, by law, had 60 days in
which to file appeal in the1
supreme court, which it was ex
pected he would do. But that
period expires today
This leaves unquestioned the
city's right to proceed with the
exercise of all city functions In
the Kingwood annexation which
surrounds the city of West Sa
lem. City Manager J. L. Franzen
said Tuesday one of the first
things proposed for the district
is a fire station. A deal had
practically been completed for
purchase of a location of the
station at a cost of $1400, and
the proposed'station was to cost
an estimated $4000.
' The city budget committee
Monday night killed both these
items. The emergency fund, how
ever, could be drawn on and it
is probably the station will be
realized, since it is much need-
led.
Alderman Gille, whose spe
cial committee was Instrumen
tal in killing the item, said he
thought the station in West Sa
lem city hall could be used, in
event the town of West Salem
merges with Salem.
Franzen, however, said that
station is poorly located, for the
reason It makes an uphill run
to the higher parts of the dis
trict. The location proposed on
the heights would give a down
hill run in nearly all directions.

United Nations
Curb on War
New York, June 14 UP) Tryg-
ve Lie, secretary-general of the
United Nations, predicted that
"no war of Importance will ev
er be started while the (U.N.)
general assembly Is in session."
"An aggressor Just could not
get away with It." he told the
40th annual Rotary Internation
al convention.
Lie made the observation
while emphasizing the value of
the assembly In giving smaller
nations "a chance to act as
checks and balances upon the
power . . . and ... the power
conflicts of the great countries."
Lie frankly listed the UN's
failures since it was formed four
years ago thia month. He said
'The international policeman
is walking around trying to keep
nations from fighting each oth
er, not only with a gun, but
without a club to help him."

World Wheat
Pact Ratified
Washington. June 14
The senate has voted for United
Statei membership in an inter
national wheat agreement that
includes all big wheat expor
ters except Russia and Argen
tina.
Last year a similiar pact got
lost in the shuffle of the 80th
congress.
The new agreement will be
come effective July 1 if enough
other countries ratify It at that
time. It was worked out by the
United States and four other net
exporters of wheat along with
36 wheat importers.
The five exporting nations
are to ship 456,000,000 bushels
annually to the importing coun
tries. Sponsors said that would
an export market of 168.000,
000 bushels of American wheat
each year for the next four
years.
Importing countries would
pay a maximum price of $1.80
bushel; The minimum would
scale down from $1.50 this year
to $1.20 in 1952-53. I
The senate ratified the treaty
without apparent dissent after a
few hours of mostly routine de
bate yesterday.
Senator Vandenberg (R
Mich.) told his colleagues he
wasn't too happy about the pact
because he felt that it might
lead down the path of trading
by nations, instead of indivi
duals.
Military Pay
Bill in House
Washington, June 14 UP) The
military pay raise bill, slimmed
down by a little over $100,000,
000, returned to the house floor
today for another try.
Sponsors flatly predicted
and many opponents conceded
that it will pass, probably to
morrow. The first pay bill, based on
recommendations of a civilian
commission, was defeated by
the house last month. It would
have cost about $408,000,000 a
year.
Rep. Kllday (D., Tex.), one of
its authors, has estimated the
new bill would cost about $358,
000.000 for its first full year of
operation, and would taper off
after 1952 to an annual cost of
approximately $304,000,000.
The new bill would give some
more money to almost every
body in uniform from the 30
year generals and admirals on
down to the rookies and "boots"
just entering military service
It would not give the high brass
such high percentage raises that
were in the rejected bill.
Top brass with over 30 years'
service would draw base pay of
$904 a month. The present scale
is $733. Newly commissioned
ensigns and second lieutenants
would go Into service at $213
a month, compared with $180
now.
The lowest enlisted rank, now
drawing $75 a month, would
continue at that rate for the
first four months, and would
then go up, reaching $95 after
four years.

County Tax
Foreclosures
Decree was filed Tuesday in
circuit court here in the latest
tax foreclosure case instituted
by Marion county involving de
linquencies from the 1944-43 roll
and prior years. Named as de
fendants are Mary F. Morris and
others.
When the suit was filed 27 de
fendants were named covering
various pieces of property. Since
then 15 of the parcels have been
redeemed with but 12 left sub
ject to the foreclosure.
Amounts involved are small
with but one exception showing
delinquency of $2881.47 against
the timber only on 800 acres of
land assessed to the Eastern and
Western Lumber company.
The properties now in due
course will go to sale and any
unsold at the sheriff's sale will
revert to the county. After that
there will still be a year in
which former owners may re
deem by paying up back taxes,
interest and costs.

Dr. Condon to
Get Hearing
Washington, June 14 U.fi-
The house unAmerican activities
committee today voted unani
mously to give Dr. Edward U
Condon a public hearing "as
soon as he asks for one."
Condon, director of the na
tional bureau of standards, was
characterized by an unAmerican
activities subcommittee last year
as "one of the weakest links" in
the security chain around the
atomic bomb.
The committee's decision to
give Condon a hearing was an
nounced by Rep. Richard M.
Nixon, R.. Calif., who made the
motion. He said that 'if Condon
does not ask for a hearing he
will press the committee to
"move on its own initiative."
"He has made charges against
this committee and against the
FBI," Nixon said. "It is time
we got this thing settled."
He added he believes that Dr.
Condon himself will be "inter
ested" in arranging a hearing.
Trieste Voters
Rebuff Reds
Trieste, June 14 ID Voters
in the international city of Tri
este have rebuffed both pro
Comlnform and pro-Tito com
munism, indicating their sympa
thies lie with the west, complete
official returns from Sundays
elections showed today.
The election, conducted by the
allied military government for
the Anglo-American zone of the
free territory, was held to give
the city on the fringe of the iron
curtain its first freely-elected
administration since 1922.
But the balloting actually had
international significance be
cause of the fight between pro
Italy parties and communists on
the future of the free territory.
The balloting proved over
whelmingly that the populace
would support the American,
British and French proposal to
return Trieste to Italy rather
than to maintain It as free ter
ritory.
With final returns In from all
277 precincts, six Italian parties
supporting the western position
took 40 council seats against 20
for the anti-Italian parties.
The Christian democratic par
ty, which sent Premier Alcide
De Gasperi to power in Italy in
that country's fight last year
against communism, also prov
ed the strongest party in Tri
este. It won 23 seats.

Soviet Accuses
Turkey, Sweden
Moscow, June 14 UP) The So
vlet navy newspaper Red Flee
complained today that both Tur
key and Sweden allegedly wen
planning collaboration with thi
United States in establishini
military bases In the Mediterra
nean and the Baltic.
The naval paper said a Turk
ish admiral had gone to Wash
ington to discuss the construc
tion of Black sea naval bases or,
Turkish territory.
An article by the naval af
fairs commentator Yermashev
said it was clear that such bases
were for the use of the American
fleet and were only one part of
American plans for the Mediter
ranean, which included taking
over the Dardanelles.
The same Red Fleet commen
tator asserted that certain
Swedish military leaders were
planning to make Sweden a
base for rocket and atom bomb
war against the Soviet union.
The commentator declared these
Swedish leaders were acting as
American agents.
