vast collection of records, clippings and pictures, she pro
vided authentic source material for numerous publications.

church were attended by hundreds from Linn county and
various sections of the Willamette valley. Her son, Hugh R.

BUSINESS MIRROR
$700 Million in British
Trade May Be Lost to U. S.
New York, July 21 OT The United States is likely to be
nicked for a larger part of its exports to the British pound
sterling area than the 25 per cent cut announced by London.
At the present rate of our exports to Britain and her com
monwealths, a 25 per cent cut would mean about $560 million
loss to American traders, farm-
ers, miners, and manufacturers.
But some think this loss may
run as high as $700 million a
year. It may mean a loss of
around 30 per cent of common
wealth trade and one-third or
better of exporU to the United
Kingdom alone.
They figure It this way:
Britain and her commonwealths,
other than Canada, are pledged
to trim one-fourth off their buy
ing from the dollar area as a
whole. That includes the United
States, Canada and most of
Latin America. But foreign
trade sources predict that the
drop in Canadian and Latin
American trade with the sterl
ing area will be cut much less
than the trade with the United
States.
The British aren't saying yet
just how and where they plan
to scrimp. But the trade figures
involved, and the American
products endangered by tiie new
austerity look like this:
U. S. exports to the United
Kingdom were running early
this year at an annual rate of
$710 million. One-fourth loss
on that would be only $175 mil
lion. But economic cooperation
administration Hoffman has esti
mated loss to American export
ers at $250 million, or more
than a third of the total.
American trade with the com
monwealth nations, other than
Britain and Canada, was run
ning early this year at an annual
rate of $1,545,000,000. One
fourth of that would be a loss
of $3B6 million. But foreign
traders here think that the com
monwealths too are likely to
trim buying from us more dras
tically than from others in the
dollar area. And they think
that the percentage of loss in
the commonwealth trade may
run higher than in United King
r1 ""n trade, because British buy
i j will be bolstered by ECA
funds and orders.
Canada has estimated her loss
of United Kingdom trade at
about $75 million. She thinks
her loss of commonwealth trade
will be light. She hopes that
wherever there is a choice Cana
dian goods will be favored over
America.
Such products could be lum
ber, newsprint and woodpulp,
nonferrous metals and wheat.
Already the American farm
bloc is busy trying to get con
gress to see that Marshall plan
dollars are spent for American
surplus wheat, not Canadian.
Americans realize the British
are acting out of necessity, but
that doesn't keep it from hurt
ing throughout the dollar area.
With the exception of sugar and
newsprint, most of the things
the British propose to buy less
of are offered for sale by Amer
icans.
The American tobacco farmer
has already learned that he has
lost the sale of $20 million worth
to the United Kingdom, How
much more he'll lose in common
wealth sales he doesn't know
yet, but it may be enough to put
a quaver in the auctioneer's
chant. ECA has hastened to au
thorize purchase of about $28
million of U. S. tobacco to bol
ster both European and U. S
tobaccomen's morale.
U. S. lumbermen also learned
today that ECA in authorizing
purchase of $4 million of their
products for the United King
dom, at the same time took $6
million of Canadian lumber. The
odds may be even more in the
months ahead.
In order to supervise the big
job of taking the current Census
of Business, covering operations
in 1048 of almost 3 million esta
blishmcnts, the United States
Bureau of the Census has ex
panded Its normal number of
field offices from 68 to 300
temporarily.
Wheat Price
Support $2.01
Government price support on
the 1949 crop of wheat will be
$2.01 a bushel to farmers in
Marion county, according to W.
M. Tato, chairman of the county
agricultural conservation com
mittee.
Loans will be available
through the commodity credit
corporation through January
1950, and will mature on. April
30, 1950, or earlier on demand
The national average loan rate
to farmers for 1949-crop wheat
is $1.95 a bushel, which is HO
per cent of parity as of July 1
the beginning of the marketing
year. Last year's rate was $2.
Wheat support prices at ter
minal markets will range from
$2.16 to $2.38 a bushel for 1949
crop No. 1 wheat stored in ell
gible warehouses at specified
terminal markets. The rate
quoted for Portland is $2.16 per
bushel.
Only wheat grading No. 3 or
better, or No. 4 or No. 5 because
of test weight or because it con
tains wheat of the classes durum
andor red durum, will be eli
gible for loan or purchase. A
schedule of premiums and dis
counts for various quantities of
the 1949-crop wheat, differing
slightly from those in effect for
the 1948 crop, will be issued at
an early date.
Overseas Planes
Halted by Strike
New York, July 21 U.R Some
70 AFL radio officers struck
against American Overseas Air
lines today, grounding the com
pany's transAtlantic flights in
a "no contract, no work" dis
pute. A company spokesman said
three scheduled flights to Eu
rope would be cancelled today.
He did not know whether three
incoming flights would be held
up on the other side of the At
lantic. A contract between the air
line and the Flight Communi
cations Offic ers association
(AFL) expired June 15 and the
company has refused the union's
demand for a clause in the new
contract calling for up to $4,500
severance pay for five years'
service.
Suremouse 'Slips'; j
Twin Entire Litter j
Lebanon Announcement Is,
made from Eichner's feed store
that Suremouse is the mother of!
twins. When Proprietor Kenneth I
Eichner opened doors for busi-
ness after the week-end, his 1001
percent efficient mouse-catcher
failed to appear at the front door
to greet him. j
It was not a new occurrence'
for her to miss. She has done
so on an average of two or three
time each year for the past 18
years, and each time she was I
held up by a blessed event.
Suremouse was discovered
hidden away in an old wooden
crate in the feed room, purring
over two tiny tiger striped kit
tens. Eichner stated that the
stork was not expected for some
time and an appropriate basin
ette had not been prepared, but
he made haste to provide an
empty feed box with straw mat
ting and a soft bed of feed sacks
In all her 18 years of kitten
bearing, Suremouse s latest lit
ter is her smallest. Families us
ually ran from four to five. She
has maintained, until the pres
ent, an average of 12 kittens
each year.

duces 77.8 per cent of the
world's oil in 1948.
