Asks $5 Million
Flood Control
Washington, Jan. 28 Wi Pres
ident Truman has asked con
gress for $5,000,000 for emerg
ency repairs to levees and other
flood control works.
Of this, $4,000,000 would be
used along Ohio river tributar
ies, including the Wabash; along
the St. Francis and White rivers
in Arkansas and Missouri, "and
in other parts of the country"
swept by recent floods.
The remaining $1,000,000 was
asked for "urgent repair work
prior to the 19S0 hurricane sea
son" on levees at Lake Okeech
obee, which Mr. Truman said
were weakened by the hurri
cane last August.
The money for the work to go
to the army corps of engineers.
The requests were included
in supplemental appropriation
estimates asking an extra $063,-
327, 294 in cash for government
expenses. Most of it is for vet
erans aid and occupation costs
overseas.
Mr. Truman also requested
authority to borrow or contract
for an additional $65,000,000.
The requests will mean little
or no change in the estimated
deficits of $5,500,000,000 in the
current fiscal year ending June
30 and $5,100,000,000 for the
1951 fiscal year.
Much of the spending had
been anticipated or had been off
set by cuts in other budget it
ems.
Red Barrage
Against Siam
Hong Kong, Jan. 28 (IP) The
Chinese communist radio has
stepped up its propaganda bar
rage against Thailand (Siam)
It has loosed a personal attack
on Premier Plbul Songgram.
The latest word from the Pei
ping radio, heard in Hong Kong
called the premier a "fascist." It
accused him of a savage impo
sition" on Chinese residents in
that southeast Asian nation.
The radio previously has as
serted that Chinese in Thailand
were being imprisoned and beat
en to death. Thailand officials
denied this. They have an
nounced, however, they will tol
erate no communist terrorism.
Thailand previously has been
left pretty much alone while
Peiping's propaganda guns were
turned on neighboring French
Indochina and Burma. Thailand,
unlike these two countries, docs
not border on China.
It's believed this new cam
paign is being built up because
of the meeting next month in
Bangkok, Thailand's capital, of
top U. S. diplomats stationed in
the orient.
From this meeting may em
erge a firmer American anti
communist policy in Asia. The
reds can't stop the meeting, but
they can try to lessen its effect
by picturing Thailand as a' base
for what they call American im
perialism. Ex-G. I.'s Good
Credit Risks
Washington, Jan. 28 (IP)
Ex-GI's are good credit risks,
especially when it comes to buy
ing a home, the veterans admin
istration said today.
"Veterans are continuing to
make a splcndcd repayment rec
ord in connection with their
GI loan obligations," snid Frank
W. Kelsey, VA's finance admin
istrator, in a statement.
"More than 146,000 have com
pletely repaid loans totaling
$570,000,000, while the others,
with few exceptions, are meet
ing their periodic payments
promptly.
"VA thus far lias paid claims
against the guaranty to lenders
in only about 13,500 cases of de
faulted loans, or less than 1 per
cent of the total guaranteed.
"Claims paid against home
loans have amounted to almost
1,900,000 veterans, in a total
principal amount of $10,029,
000,000. The guarantees totaled
about $4,800,000,000."

N. W. Lumber
Output Tops
Portland, Jan. 28 &) Promo
tion work kept the West Coast
Lumbermen's association at the
top in lumber business last year.
At least that's what the West
Coast Lumberman's association
says.
D. W. Gossard, Enumclaw,
Wash., told the association an
nual meeting here yesterday that
the nation's lumber production
fell off while the member mills
of the association produced the
greatest amount of Douglas fir
lumber in 20 years.
It was the result, he said, "of
hard work and of one of the most
intelligently planned, carefully
conceived and loyally executed
promotion and merchandising
programs ever undertaken by
the west coast lumber industry."
He invited the rest of the in
dustry to join in the campaign.
Gossard was re-elected presi
dent. All other officers were re
tained, too: Judd Grcenman,

Fruitmen Ask
Price Supports
Spokane, Jan. 28 fP) County
committeemen of the production
and marketing administration
were told today that the fruit
industry should be offered a
price support program.
A price support committee at
conference of PMA county
committeemen said in a report
that present government fruit
purchases merely amount to a
"surplus removal program
which does not reflect a true
price support program to the
producer."
The committee, headed by
Glen Copeland of Yakima, sug
gested that all agricultural com-,
moditics should be offered the
privilege of price support when
ever surpluses are developed.
The report added:
"For any commodity on which
price support is offered, acre
age allotments, production goals,
marketing agreements and quo
tas should be in effect.
"In discussing the method of
support, it was the unanimous
opinion that for storage com
modities the present method of
loans and purchase agreements
is satisfactory. For other com
modities such as potatoes and
other root crops where the pos
sibility of increasing consump
tion is limited, the present meth
od of purchases, loans and mar
keting agreement orders arc
nbount as desirable as can be
obtained at the present time.
"In administering price sup
port programs it was folt that
producers should pay a fee for
the privilege of price support.'
The PMA county committee
tee ended their conference here
today.

Glider Pilot Claims
Climb of 36,100 Feet
Bishop, Calif., Jan. 28
Glider Pilot Harland Ross claims
to have soared to the height of
36,100 feet above sea level in a
two-place motorless craft.
Ross said he and his passen
ger, George Deibert, sailed that
high after being released from
an airplane at 11,500 feet. The
actual soar of 24,600 feet will be
submitted to the Federation Ae
ronautics Internationale for ap
proval as a world record. Ross
said that a Frenchman holds the
present record of about 22,000
feet.
Ross, 43, and a glider pilot
since 1928, said he might have
gone higher except for extreme
cold. He and Deibert were in the
air two hours, 20 minutes.

Solons Want Cut
In Oleo Prices.
Washington, Jan. 28 (U.R)
Oleomargarine m a n u facturers
were on notice today to cut
prices after federal taxes are re
pealed or face a congressional
investigation.
Sen. Guy G. 'Gillette, (D., Ida.)
said his senate agriculture sub
committee will keep a close
watch on margarine prices to see
what happens once the federal
levies are lifted.
"It is probable there might
be investigations in the field of
oleo prices," he said, "after we
see what changes if any fol
low enactment of the repeal
law. '
Differences in senate and
house versions of the oleo tax
repealer, are now being resol
ved by a joint senate-house con
ference committee.
Conferees expect little diffi
culty in reaching a agreement on
a compromise."
Both bills would eliminate the
10 cents a pound federal levy
on colored oleo and one-fourth
cent tax on uncolored margar
ine.

Southern Demos
Plan Filibuster
Washington, Jan. 28 W)
Southern democrats in the sen
ate quit talking about compro
mising the civil rights issue to
day and prepared to fight by
filibuster.
It was their answer to Presi
dent Truman's no-compromise
stand on the far-reaching civil
rights program he proposed to
congress nearly two years ago.
Queried at his news conference
yesterday about compromise
overtures from the south, the
president said his compromise
was in his last civil rights mes
sage. Sen. Richard B. Russell (D.,
Ga.), spokesman for the south
ern bloc had this to say about
Mr. Truman's stand:
"The president's statement
would indicate that he still is
insisting on all the civil rights
measures he laid down in his
message to congress including
the compulsory FEPC (Fair Em
ployment Practices Commiss
ion). "This, of course, eliminates
any possibility of compromise.
It is in effect a demand that we
take and like all these measures,
including the socialistic FEPC.
We do not like them and we do
not propose to take them."
Russell's view was not fully
shared by Rep. Brooks Hays (D.,
Ark.), chief house spokesman of
compromise, who said he would
continue to work for "the Arkan
sas plan." His plan calls for a
series of substitute proposals for
Mr. Truman's program.
Bridges Trial
Held in Hospital
San Francisco, Jan. 28 IIP)
The judge, the jury and all the
principals in the Harry Bridges
trial met in an Oakland hos
pital yesterday.
There they heard a patient
testify in defense of the CIO
longshore union (ILWU) presi
dent. William Christensen, laid up
in Permanente hospital with a
back injury, testified he ac
companied Bridges to Stockton
Calif., on June 27, 1936 and
spoke with Bridges at a union
meeting there.
He was another in a series
of defense witnesses giving sim
ilar testimony. A number of ex
communists have testified for
the government that Bridges
was in New York on that date,
accepting election to the central
committee of the communist
party of the U.S.
The Australia-born Bridges
is charged with perjury be
cause he said at his 1945 natur
alization hearing that he never
was a communist.
One of Bridges' co-defendants,
J. R. Robertson, appeared
at a longshore union meeting in
Stockton last night and charged
the government was prosecut
ing them "to weaken ILWU
leadership."

Grains Regain
Earlier Dips
Chicago, Jan. 28 UP) Grains
dipped in early dealings and
then recovered toward the close
of the board of trade today. Soy
beans, weakest early, came back
the strongest late inn the day.
There was nothing to alter the
usual routine Saturday trading
pace.
A statement by two Universi
ty of Illinois economists, point
ing out that soybean prices us
ually rise during the October
May period, caused a little buy
ing in beans. The rally seemed
to be based more on short cov
ering than on any new buying,
traders said.
Corn booking totaled 70,000
bushels. In the past two ses
sions bookings have picked up
considerably from recent weeks,
including a greater willingness
on the part of the country to
sell at bids which are now be
ing made, cash dealers said.
Wheat closed unchanged to
higher, March $2.17 4 , corn
was higher, March $1.29,
oats were Va-1 higher, March
73, rye was to 1 cent higher,
May $1.35, soybeans were un
changed to 1 cent higher, March
$2.33, and lard was 7 to 10 cents
a hundred pounds higher. March
$10.67 to $10.70. ,
Town of Timber
Isolated for Days
Portland, Ore., Jan. 28 (U.R)
Oregon Journal readers wrote
the editor today that the com

The letter, signed by 21 resi
dents of the community "2.6
miles off the Sunset highway
and six miles off the Tillamook
highway," complained there
had been one death, that the
coroner had to follow a bull
dozer to reach Timber, milk sup
plies were cut off, mail hadn't
arrived and electricity was on
and off during the period.
"Why can't we get snow
plows up here to Timber and
Cochran? We need them very
badly," the writers said.
"We're really nice, educated
people who pay taxes and vote.
But we're beginning to wonder
why."
