Grain Prices
Slump Again
Chicago, July 13 W) Moder
ate selling pressure and a lack
of commercial buying combined
to send grains lower on the
board of trade today. Losses
were not large and activity
slumped below recent days.
The downturn was enough to
send July wheat under $2.00- at.
times. Declines of about a cent
were rung up in the bread cer
eal. Purchases of 100,000 bush
els of cash oats on a to-arrive
basis weakened the July con
tract of that grain.
Wheat closed V4- lower,
July $2.0014-; corn was 1 cent
lower to lVa higher, July
$1.39, oats were -iy4 lower,
July 62, rye was 1 cent lower
to Vi higher, July $1.47, soy
beans were lower to Vt high

was 15 to 20 cents a hundred

Withdraws Protest
On Elkhorn Road
S. C. Dark, Mehama, who re
cently filed with the county
court a protest against a plan
advanced by logging interests to
reroute about two miles of the
Mehama - Elkhorn road on the
opposite side of the river from
its present location, has now re
versed his attitude and in a let
ter to County Judge Grant Mur
phy says he doesn't want to re
tard progress and will willingly
give a right of way across cer
tain of his lands.
The county judge replied to
Dark's original protest by stat
ing that the court was not ini
tiating any movement for the
change but indicated it would
co-operate with the loggers and
other property owners If they
wished to go ahead and grade
and gravel a road along such
right of way at their own ex
pense. Dark's objections in his
original letter were that he
didn't want his land "cut to
ribbons" by roads and that it
would allow his stock to roam
at will to far places.

Navy Deserter
Held for Larceny
A navy deserter, LeRoy E.
Friederick was held by Salem
police Wednesday on an auto
larceny charge pending an inves
tigation into numerous forger
ies on prominent farmers' check
ing accounts.
Friederick was nabbed Tues
day when a grocery store at 546
Highland avenue telephoned po
lice about a suspicious check.
Detectives found him in the
neighborhood, and brought him
to headquarters for questioning.
In his wallet vere found sev
eral checks made payable to a
Eugene Enfield, one of the six
aliases he told police he had used.
That information provided police
with the clinching clue in a car
theft case.
Mrs. Thelma Tucker, who re
ported the theft of her car re
cently called police for a second
time when the car was recov
ered. She turned over a blank
check which she had found
crumpled in the front seat made
out to a Eugene Enfield.
When Friederick was confront
ed with this information, he
signed a statement admitting the
larceny of the auto. He gave
verbal admission of writing
several checks, but no charges
were filed immediately.
While the police interrogation
of check activities was under
way, naval authorities began a
check of his record to determine
how long he had been missing
from the service.
Friederick, a minor, told po
lice he had been married and
that his wife had died recently.
A navy investigator, however
advised the department that his
wife was living in a tent in an
orchard north of Salem ne?r the
Keizer district.
The navy information was par
tially confirmed when a Red
Cross worker, sent by Frieder
ick's wife, came to police head
quarters to seek information as
to why she had never received
an allotment check as a service
man's dependent.

Change in Benefits
Oregon's department or veterans'
affairs said today that Oregon vet
erans of World War II seeking
state educational oeneiits lor
studies outside the state from now
on must show such training la not
available In Oregon.
Trie department called attention
to an amendment to the state vet
erans' educational aid act passed
by the 1949 legislature, which states
tne director of veterans' affairs
cannot permit a beneficiary to draw
benefits while attending school or
college outside of Oregon without
a "satisfactory showing that the
training required Is not available
In an accredited Institution within
the state of Oregon." The amend
ment goes into effect July 16.
About 45 veterans have drawn
Oregon benefits while studying In
other states and two have been
approved for study In foreign coun
tries since the act "vent Into ef

To County Drop
Oregon & California grant
land money allocated to the
counties under the grants is go
ing down and the participating
counties can't expect to get the
same amount of gravy which
came their way during the lush
war years of high timber cuts
and high prices, says Frank Sev
er, Portland, attorney for the
grant land association, in a let
ter to County Judge Murphy.
Incidentally, he warns that
he already has sidetracked one
move started in Washington to
cut the counties' share of the
proceeds to 37 V4 percent from
50 percent and to use 25 per
cent of the money to set up a
development fund. But( he says,
the move is not dead but only
sleeping and counties should
take precaution to protect their
interest.
Sever says that during the
1940-48 period 440,000,000 board
feet was the average yearly cut
from the lands but in 1949 fiscal
year it has dropped to $263,000,
000 board feet. He says during
the year just closed return was
$3,600,000 of which the coun
ties' share was $1,800,000 as
compared with $2,200,000 the
preceding year. But in the
present fiscal year he expects
the counties' shares to be cut
to $1,000,000 or less with a pros
pective average of $800,000 and
warns that any cut in the county
percentage will reduce their
take accordingly.
Krug Opposes

Whittington also wanted to
know if it was true that the
government was selling power
cheaper in the Columbia area

Krug agreed, but said that was
because the river offered the
best potentialities for cheap pow

Creation of a single valley au

there were so many outstanding candidates that additional time

from within the system as well
as from outside the district.
The directors agreed to hold
a special election to determine
whether the Hayesville district
to the north of Salem shall be

the grounds of overcrowding of

would result in a considerable
outlay of cash to provide needed
classrooms. Superint endent
Frank B. Bennett said that Par-

Smith Sure of
Beating Horse
When Paul A. Smith, of Mill
City, pits his walking efforts
against a horse on the Lebanon
racetrack July 24, he expects
not only to win but to break his
previous high speed record of
Vi miles an hour established
in a training sprint at Mill City
last week. The mark he made,
Smith said in Salem today, was
upgrade and against a wind. He
states that "picking 'em up and
layln' 'em down" is easier and
faster on a racetrack than on
the road.
Smith and the horse start out
at 6 o'clock the morning of the
race and he estimates that it will
take between 11 and 15 hours
to cover the 75 miles announced
for the length of the contest.
Smith states that the last reports
he had from Mill City place him
three-to-one favorite over the
horse.
Walking against a field of 99
percent younger men in Port
land last August he placed fifth.
He also has taken part in a
coast-to-coast walk and from
Albany to Mill- City against
time.
Smith says that the winner of
the Lebanon race will be award
ed the gate receipts, whatever
they amount to. The owner of
the horse will collect if he is
defeated, Smith says, but he has
no knowledge of what the horse
'ill receive in event the animal
wins, perhaps an extra feed of
oats, but that is up to the own
er, according to Smith.
