Major sugar users, such as the bottlers, and foreign sugar pro rucers such as the Cubans, want the quota set high the users want lower prices, while the Cubans want a larger market for their one big crop. Housewives might prefer the lower prices, but they aren't organized and don't attend hear ings.

Coffee, Sugar and Cream What's Ahead for Morning Cup? By SAM DAWSON New York. Dec. 10 (Pi Coffee, sugar and cream what's ahead for the morning cup, prlcewise, and who's going to say what that price will be? Some answers to the Question people everywhere are asking are coming today: From Boca Raton, Fla., where the National Coffee association is meeting; from New York where sugar futures ad vanced yesterday to a new sea son high; and from Washington where "controls on food specu lation" are asked. Some members of the coffee association blame the housewife for the sudden jump in the price of coffee. When she found the price of coffee higher almost every time she visited the store, they say she started hoarding, and this sent prices still higher. They add that if she'll stop hoarding, prices will level off around their present record highs. Some U.S. government offi cials think the Brazilians (who produce most of the world's cof fee) may have exaggerated the probable effects of their drought on the coffee crop and started asking more for the green beans than was justified. Others noted that this put a squeeze on traders who had sold short on the New York future." market and their rush to cover sent green bean prices climbing spectacularly around 70 pel cent in a short time. Secretary of Agriculture Brannan says "many millions of dollars in higher consumer prices" are involved and he thinks we need laws extending government control over specu lative trading in imported agri cultural products. Some roasters complain that growers who had contracted months ago to sell their crop have reneged on their promise and are holding out for higher prices. Roasters have to pay more for coffee, so they charge more, and then your grocer did, too. There's a quick chain there between green bean and the gro eery shelf, because coffee doesn't keep long. But some charge that retail prices went up even faster than was entirely justi fied. U.S. officials this week are reassuring you that there will be enough coffee next year for everyon e although consump tion is running about seven per cent ahead of last year in the United States, and about four per cent in Europe. But some Brazilian shippers say Washing ton is underestimating the dam age to the crop by the drouth, and that supplies are going to be tight for a year or more. Sugar traders seem to think the price of sugar may go up next year, and some of them are bidding higher for future de liveries. Before the month is over you should be able to get some idea of what the price will be. The secretary of agri culture will announce shortly just how much of the sweeten ing for your cup of coffee will be admitted into the country from other lands that will largely determine the price. It's scarcely an enviable chore. The secretary has been under pressure from both sides. American cane and beet growers want the quota kept low, so the price will be high. They say Secretary fo Santa Protests Copenhagen! Denmark, Dec. m (Pi If you send a letter tot Santa Claus at "the North Pole,; Greenland" maybe you will gel an answer from his secretary- She is a pretty, 25-year-old Danish brunette. Gerda Staun ing, employed in the Copenhag en office of the Danish Green land administration. Greenland being Denmark's only colonial possession, the col onial administration every year gets thousands of letters from boys and girls addressed to "Santa Claus. The North Pole, Greenland." Miss Staunlng has been delegated tn reply for San ta. "It's nearly driving me crazy," she said as she surveyed the mountain of letters, many of them from America and Britian. She tries to send the child ren pictures of Greenland and tell them Santa will come, but adds, "Of course I cannot pos sibly answer them all." Sometimes she wishes the col onial administration would cir culate this advertisment around the world. "Santa Claus. who has until now lived in Greenland, has changed his address His new headquarters is unknown." Long Use of Oily Nose Drops Brings Warning of Doctor By FRANK CAREY Washington, Dec. W) Longtime users of oily nose drops and sprays and mineral oil laxatives are running the risk of a sometimes fatal lung disease, the American Medical association was told today. Dr. Theodore Win.ship of Washington said the oily medicines are not poisonous in themselves but they can get into the wind pipe and be passed into the lungs. This, he said, can result In the formation of a hardened, sinewy tissue in the lungs a condition known medically as "lipid pneumonia." In severe cases. Winship said, death results from asphyxiation. Royal Neighbors of America Sewing club is to meet in the Mayflower hall next Thursday, a Christmas dinner to be, served at 12:30 o'clock. Hostesses are Mrs. S. A. Bewley, Mrs. Sara Peter son, Mrs. Elizabeth Pugh. Delegates to the association's meeting heard from Winship after a history-making session yesterday, highlighted by the establishment of comp u 1 s o r y membership dues to establish a fund for the AMA's campaign against "socialized medicine and other activities. The $25 dues are expected to bring in $3,050,000 a year. With legislative issues out of the way, the delegates turned to strictly scientific matters. Win ship reported on studies he and assiciates have made at Wash ington's Garfield hospital. "Lipid pneumonia has been found most commonly in those who have used nose drops or spray over a long period of time and also in those who have tak en mineral oil for constipation repeatedly," he said. ine tnira most common cause of this disease is forced feeding of infants." He said forced-feeding may cause the infant to vomit, thus pushing certain material in the food into the lungs. "The most dangerous element in this material." he said, "is either one of the fish oils or but ter fat from milk. Even small amounts of either of these oils cause a violent tissue reaction in the lungs. "When the oil is repeatedly in troduced into the lungs, death usually results." On the question of dues, the next move is up to secretaries or treasurers of hundreds of county medical societies throughout the country. They're the ones who'll have to bill an estimated 122,000 of AMA's total membership of 143, 700. The prospect is that retired doctors, those who are ill, those who may be having a hard time financially, and hospital interns will be exempt. If any regular dues-payer falls in arrears for a year, he can expect a letter from the secre tary of the AMA. If he doesn't pay up within 30 days after he gets his letter, he loses his mem bership in the world's largest medical organization. He can get back in by pay ing up what he owes. Guests Marquam Home West Stayton Mrs. Grace Nurike, Mrs. Robert Shepherd and children Bobby, Penny and Kathy, spent Wednesday in Marquam at the home of Mrs. Joe Maurer, mother of Mrs. Shepherd. Bobby stayed over night at his grandparents and on Thursday, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Maurer and Andy and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Maurer returned him to his home; and to attend the auction sale at Stayton. Problems Arise Over Paying Vets' Insurance Dividends Washington, Dec. 10 W The voterans administration has run into sonic problems in its plans to pay veterans a S2. 800, 000, 000 insurance dividend in order of their serial numbers. Some World War II veterans, it develops, never had a serial number. Some had more than one. Of these with more than one serial number, some hadf- than one insurance policy The first two problems have been solved, with only one hitch: the veterans involved can't tell when thoy will receive their money. Officials arc still trying to decide what to do about vets with multiple serial numbers and policies. For most veterans, the checks will start going out In January, with precedence based on the last three digits of the insured person's serial number. The "000" group will be paid first; the "909" people last. That won't apply to some 15. 000 former coast guard officers who got along without serial numbers during the war. They will be assigned numbers arbit rarily from a series never used by any service. But they won't know what the numbers arc until they gel their checks. Veterans who had more than one serial number like enlist d men who later became of ficers probably will be paid ac cording to the highest number they had. The complications develop when such veterans had morel than one policy. They will be paid according to one of their old serial numbers, but no one yet knows which one. One other t'roiiD of veterans may collect its dividents slight ly off-schedule. It consists of those whoso last names are more than 15 letters long, and would n't fit on the special tabulating cards. Their applications will be pro cescd by hand, and there is a chance they will be paid ahead of schedule. I For the bulk of the applicants! the first checks will start through! the mail around the middle o( next month, with the final pay ments coming in April, or pos-! sibly later. j Nut Growers Find Marketing Problem Portland, Dec. 10 Of) Nut growers discussed orchard prob lems, here, but were told their big problem was in marketing. R. L. Melden, sales manager of tile Northwest Nut Growers, advised the annual convention of the Nut Growers' Society of Oregon and Wasnlngton that it now was a buyers' market. He reviewed recent promotional work. Paul W. Miller, Oregon State college plant pathologist, urged intensive spraying to combat walnut blight. He warned that bacteria of the blight can do their work in five minutes. He advocated a constant cover of ;spray or dust on the nuts during the infection period. John Painter, Ori'Ron state horticulturist, reported on wal nut shrivel. He said limited test plots indicated that mineral de ficiency, late summer heat and lack of moisture brought on shrivel.
