72 Baby Dogs in
Litter Mothered
At Manbrin Home
Mollle the Collie is quite
the mother in her first time
out.
Mollie's very first litter
consisted of 12 youngsters, a
near record.
The R. F. Upson home in
the Manbrin Gardens district
disclosed that two of the pups
had died, leaving Mollie still
with 10 rollicking youngsters
five male and five female.
All have their mother's brown
and white markings and
white-typed tails.
Upson said the blessed event
or events July 30 kept him
pacing the floor most of the
night because the pups arrived
in 30-mlnute intervals. He
said:
"I thought surely all were
accounted for when I found
six at about midnight. But I
discovered three more about
an hour later and the last three
in the morning. I was almost
afraid to look again."
Upson said Mollie is a per
fect mother. She counts her
offspring every time they are
taken out of the kennel by ad
miring neighborhood children.
When the two pups died Mol
lie carefully removed them
them from the rest of the lit
ter and barked until Upson
came to bury them.
Keeping the 10 pups fed is
quite a job for Mollie. She
drinks almost a gallon of milk
a day. Upson observed:
"It's a little rough on the
grocery bill, but we're all
getting a big kick out of our
new family."

vance in soybeans gave the en
tire grain market a better tone

est from the start. Further re

982,000 On
State Payrolls
Washington, Aug. 17 (IP) State
governments employed 982,000
persons in April and carried a
$197,000,000 monthly payroll.
The census bureau, reporting
this today, called it a record
both In numbers and In pay.
Compared with 12 months
earlier, the number of jobhold
ers was up 8.1 percent or 56,-
000.
The payroll itself was up $25,-
700,000 a month or 15 percent
for the period, largely because
average pay went up from $185
a month In April 1948 to $200
last April.
State governments now have
"nearly half as many employes
as the federal government, and
about one-third as many em
ployes as all local governments
combined," the bureau said.
Michigan was the only state
listed by the bureau as not hav
ing an increase in payrolls in
the 12 months ended last April.
Increases ' of more than 25
percent were shown for Indiana,
Massachusetts, Mississippi and
Oregon.
Money Jam Up
To Senate Now
Washington, Aug. 17 UP) The
house took the first step today
to supply stopgap funds for gov
ernment agencies that have been
penniless for two days.
An emergency resolution giv
ing them temporary spending
authority up to Sept. 15 passed
the house by voice vote under a
little used procedure.
This action put the question
of the money logjam right up
to the senate. If the senate ap
proves the resolution, congress
will have approximately anoth
er month to work out appropri
ation bills for the 1950 fiscal
year that began July 1. More
than $200,000,000,000 is Involv
ed.
The agencies involved include
the army, navy and air force,
the veterans administration,, the
atomic energy commission, the
interior department, and a score
of lesser ones.
Two previous emergency re
solutions had kept them going
from July 1 until midnight Mon
day. Since then, they have not
been legally able to buy any
thing, contract to buy anything,
or even meet their payrolls.

Foochow Still
Resists Reds
Canton, Aug. 17 (IP) A na
tionalist spokesman said tonight
strong naval forces had been
sent up the Min river to the
relief of communist besieged
Foochow.
The spokesman said the coast
al city still was in Nationalist
hands. Commercial radio con
tact with Foochow has been
out here for many hours.
This might indicate commun
ist troops have occupied the city,
but there has been nothing here
to confirm this. A big battle for
Foochow has been reported un
derway. The city is about 450
miles northeast of Canton.
Meanwhile, a nationalist army
spokesman angrily denied Red
troops had driven into Kwang
tung province. Canton, the Na
tionalist capital, is also the
Kwangtung provincial capital.
The Natonalist foreign office
received a request from the
United States embassy for the
safe conduct of the liner Gen
eral Gordon to remove Ameri
cans wishing to leave China.

Washington, Aug. 17 VP) The
Townsend old-age pension plan
is perking up again in congress.
Backers are more than half
way in signing up the 218 mem
bers necessary to force a vote on
it in the house. They had a pep
meeting yesterday and organiz
ed a drive to round up the re
maining 93 signatures.
More than a dozen representa
tives showed up. Rep Blatnik
(D-Minn) passed around lists of
other members for them to but
tonhole. "If we make a good, concert
ed, spirited drive," Blatnik said,
"we can get five or six persons

hump."
Rep. Angell (R-Ore) made a
"put your shoulder to the wheel"
speech.
And Mrs. J. A. Ford, legisla
tive director for the Townsend
plan, said the drive for action on

Buy Oregon Pears
Portland, Aug. 17 (IP) The
chairman of the Oregon Pro
duction and Marketing Admin
istration committee said today
that the government is going to
start buying Bartlett pears in
Oregon and Washington.
The announcement had long
been hoped for by Pacific North
west pear growers, anxious about
the declining market prices on
this year's crop.
E. Harvey Miller, chairman
of the state PMA committee,
said the pears would be bought
by the USDA production and
marketing administration for
use in school lunches and re
lief outlets. They will be
bought from growers, growers'
organizations, or growers' agents.
The amounts and other de
tails of the purchase program
will be worked out shortly. Mil
ler said an industry advisory

To Run Oregon
The cost of Oregon's state
government $77,082,662 for
the 1949-1950 fiscal year will
be met as usual without levying
on real property.
The state tax commission re
leased the levy today, showing
that income taxes and other rev
enue sources will meet the
state's requirements.
The levy lists $58,356,340 as
coming from income taxes. Of
this sum, $29,747,414 is being
transferred from the corporate
excise account to cover excess
legislative appropriations with
in the 6 per cent limitation, and
$7,565,932 to eliminate the levy
which otherwise would be im
posed on property owners.
In addition to the income tax
receipts, revenues from the
state's sale of liquor are estimat
ed at $8,000,000; those from mis
cellaneous sources such as in
heritance and gift taxes, corpor
ation and insurance licenses and
fees at $6,000,000; transfer of
funds, principally from the high
way department for the support
of the state police, $1,574,993,
and unexpended balances due
chiefly to higher revenues than
estimated last year, $3,000,000.
The requirements of the fis
cal year are listed as $6,535,866
deficit from the last biennium,
and $70,546,796 for current ac- ,
tivities including public welfare
and higher education.
