It compares with last year's
record crop of 3.650.548,000
bushels and with the ten-year
(1938-47) average of 2,787,628,
000 bushels.
The Indicated crop Is consid

needs. This fact will require the
department to impose acreage
allotments on the 1950 crop to
cut production and to prevent a
burdensome surplus.
The national planting allot

76.000,000 acres, or about 10.-

Marie Dorion
Marker Urged
A highway marker at the in
tersection of the Gervais road
and highway DOE in memory of
Mane Dorion, Indian wife of an
interpreter with the Astor party
of 1810, is recommended by Old
Oregon Trail, Inc., Alfred A.
Loab, president. Accepted burial
place of "the Dorion woman" is
under the church at St. Louis.
Suggestions of the association
for markers commemorating his
torical places, persons and
events, have been turned over to
the state highway commission.
Another suggestion is a mar
ker at the Barlow home at Bar
low, built by Samuel K. Barlow,
who constructed the first wagon
road south of Mt. Hood in 1846.
which was In use as a toll road
for 70 years.
Erection of markers will make
Oregon highways more inter
esting and create community
pride, Loab believes. He thinks
that a few thousand dollars so
spent will cause motorists to
pause and read and thus spend
more time and dollars in Oregon.

Criminals' Way
Grows Harder
Because the process of crime
detection has become a science
in recent years, many criminals
now plead guilty rather than
face the evidence during a Jury
trial. So said Joe Murray, chief
clerk of the state prison, during
a talk before the Salem Lions
Thursday noon.
Murray listed the various me
thods by which experts trace
criminals, pointing out that fin
gcrprints have constituted the
most satisfactory evidence that
man has devised. Photographs,
because of their differences, play
a lesser part' in modern day
crime detection. He character
ized the forger as the most
"foolish" of criminals because
handwriting experts can deter
mine his identity within a short
space of time.
The ultra violet light in de
tecting the various shades of ink
was described by Murray, who
said that each nation had a dif
ferent characteristic in the
matter of handwriting.

Hit
Wherry Assails
Truman Policies
Son Francisco, Nov. 10 VP)
President Truman's domestic and
foreign policies were assailed
bitterly before the National Re
tail Lumber Dealers' association
here today by Senator Wherry
(R., Neb.).
"President Truman's tech
nique leads down the road to
communism because it attempts
to buy freedom with material
things," Wherry said iri a pre
pared address.
The senate minority leader in
the 81st congress criticized the
reciprocal trade agreements act,
tariff cutting, foreign aid and
administration spending.
Wherry likened the "promis-
ers of today" to the "medicine
men of the gold rush days of
49 in California. The '49ers,
he said, called the promises of
their day a "gold brick," but to
day "it is the welfare state."
"All the gold dug by the
49ers," he continued, "would
not pay the first installment on
the welfare slate. 1 And the di
rection America is being led,
points to bankruptcy more dev
astating than the atomic bomb."
Wherry said the principles on
which the country was establish
ed "are being blacked out." He
added: "Socialism and its front-
runner, communism, are spread
ing their evil doctrine over oth
er parts of the world; and the
backwash is infiltrating right
into the heart of our govern
ment." On foreign aid, Wherry said:
"America has poured $35,-
000, in cash and goods into Eu
rope, under 23 money spending
schemes, and those countries are
still crying for more."
OK Aviation Gas
Export to Yugoslavia
Washington, Nov. 10 tP) The
government today approved ex
port of 40,000 barrels of avia
tion gasoline to Yugoslavia.
It was the latest in a number
of U.S. actions to bolster Mar
shal Tito of Yugoslavia in his
scrap with Russia's leaders.
The action was announced by
the commerce department, which
issued licenses permitting the
gasoline shipment.

Still Hopes for
Russian Peace
Washington, Nov. 10 OP)
President Truman expressed the
hope today that the United
States can get along with Russia.
He said he has always hoped
that their problems will be
worked out peaceably and con
tinues to hope that this can be
done. And he said the effort will
be continued through regular
diplomatic channels.
This was his view when he
was asked at his news confer
ence about the meeting of the
foreign ministers in Paris.
The president said in response
to questions today that he knew
of no second atomic explosion in
Russia.
The president was asked at a
news conference if he had any
evidence of another Soviet at
omic blast like the one he report
ed Sept. 23.
He said there has not been an
other so far as he knows.

Expanded by Kaiser
Houston, Nov. 10 (P) Henry
J. Kaiser said today the nation's
aluminum industry has a great
future.
The California industrialist
said the main question about his
role in the industry is "how far
can we expand?"
The Kaiser aluminum inter
ests this month, he said, will
turn out about 32.000,000 pounds
of aluminum, compared to the
previous monthly high of 24,
000.000. October production, he
said, was 20 percent above his
plant's normal capacity.
"Aluminum is a new material
of a new age," Kaiser said. "It is

terials and also Is creating new
products. In the automobile field
alone its possibilities have not
even been scratched."
He said his plans for expan
sion in the aluminum field are
indefinite at present but that
experiments are under way at
his Baton Rouge, La., alumina
plant.
Experiments are being made
there with raw materials being
obtained from Jamaica in the
British West Indies.
