No Nose Dive This plane is not in a nose dive. It hangs
suspended by its tail after crashing into high tension wires
of the Bonneville power line in Portland, Ore., 200 feet above
the Willamette river. The pilot, Ira Cook, 61, of Umatilla,
Ore., was catapulted into the river and drowned. (AP Wire-photo)
Hopper Pest
Being Fought
Serious grasshopper damage to
grass seed crops appeared in
Marion county for the first time
last week. Young hoppers have
completely cleaned areas of
swathed fescue and are working
into alfalfa, spring barley and
oats.
Chlordane and toxaphene in
spray or dust forms do a good
job of control according to Ben
A. Newell, county extension
agent for livestock.
One-half to one pound of chlor
dane as a spray or three-fourths
to one and one-half pounds as
a dust is recommended. Toxa
phene at one to one and one-half
pounds in spray or one and one
half to two and one-half as a
dust is good. These materials
may be applied by airplane or
ground equipment.
Wet bran baits may be used
on small plantings where hop
pers are moving in. An econom
ical way is to mix the bait at
home. Use 25 pounds of mill run
bran, three times the bran's
value of sawdust and one of the
following poisons: Vi pound of
chlordane; one pound toxaphene,
or six pounds of sodium fluosili
cate. Wet with water to make
a crumbly-mash. Twenty pounds
of the mixture per acre will give
good control.
Caution should be used, re
minds Newell, in handling any
of the materials. They are poi
sonous to livestock and humans.
Wash thoroughly and change
clothes after using either spray
or dust.
High Court Upholds
Transamerica Order
Washington, July 18 (U.R)
Supreme Court Justice Harold
H. Burton Monday refused to
stay a lower court order holding
TronsAmcrica, Inc., the Giant
Bank of America and the presi
dents of both banks in contempt.
They had been ordered held
in contempt for failure to obey
the lower court in connection
with an $18,000,000 bank stock
transfer.
The deal involved purchase of
22 banks by the Bank of Amer
ica from TransAmerica.
When the federal reserve
board moved to hold up the
transaction, the ninth circuit
court of appeals ordered the 22
banks restored to their original
status. Last Tuesday, the court
of appeals gave the Bank of
America 30 days in which to
restore the 22 banks to their
original status. It said failure
to comply would mean jail
terms for L. M. Gianninl, presi
dent of Bank of America, the
largest in the world, and Sam
Husbands, president of Trans
America. The cours also levied condi
tional fines against the corpora
tions of $2500 for each day of
non-compliance after the 30-day
period, which is up Aug. 0.

California and Pennsylvania
Running Mighty Close Race

running a close battle for the honor of being the second largest
state in the nation wnue rnuaaeipniu iuu uuius a uumiu uva
Los Angeles as the third most populous city, according to In
complete census returns
The census bureau announc
ed over the weekend that Willie
Penn's colony had grown by
1950 to a preliminary popula
tion figure of 10,435,965, little
more than a maternity-ward
lead over fast growing Califor
nia. The official figure for Cal
ifornia is not yet out but an
Associated Press tabulation in
dicated there are 10,400,000
Californians.
In the battle of cities, Phila
delphia has 2,057,210 residents
according to the latest nose
count while Los Angeles can
boast of only 1,954,036.
The trek to California has
by no means petered out, the
census indicates, in iuiu me
westerners were 6,907,387
strong. So it appears the one
time Spanish mission settlement
and gold rush state will leap
from fifth to at least third place,
leaving Illinois and Ohio be
hind. In 1940 there were 9,900,
180 Pensylvanians.
' Census reports have not yet
been made for Michigan or
Texas (as well as California)
but figures based on either cen
sus bureau announcements or
best available estimates will
line the six biggest states in
this order: New York, Pennsyl
vania, California, Illinois, Ohio,
Texas and Michigan,
The list of the nation's top

sus report is: New York, 7,841,

Woman With New
Kidney Goes Home
Chicago, July 18 VP) The
woman with the only transplant
ed kidney in medical history has
walked cheerfully out of the hos
pital. Although she appeaed well,
the patient, Mrs. Howard Tuck
er, 49, said further tests must
be made In about three weeks to
determine whether the new kid
ney is functioning properly.
Shortly after the operation
was performed on June 17, sur
geons said Mrs. Tucker's other
kidney might be doing the work
of both.
The transplanted kidney was
taken from another woman
shortly after she died of a liver
ailment. Physicians had said
that without the operation, Mrs.
Tucker herself was doomed to
die of an incurable kidney dis
ease. Prayer-beds are used by Hin
dus, Mohammedans and Buddhists.

500,000 Wait
For Barrel Trip
Niagara Falls. Ont.. July 18
devil riverman, vowed today not
sons who waited in vain for hours yesterday to watch him snoot
over Niagara Falls in an iron barrel.
After consulting with a welder, Hill said he would attempt
another trip over the falls
sometime around Labor day."
He said because of damage done
to the barrel it will be necessary
to make extensive repairs or
construct a new one.
Police and friends had to use
force to extract him from his
725-pound galvanized iron bar
rel yesterday when river cur
rents trapped it near shore one
mile above the brink.
To prevent police from con
fiscating his specially built 12
foot long barrel, Hill sent it over
the falls empty. When friends
finally retrieved it from the
swirling rock - studded lower
gorge, where the Niagara park
commission police have no au
thority, it was dented on one end
and flattened on one side by
the tons of water pounding it
against the boulder at the foot
of the 175-foot falls.
From all indications, Hill, a
31-year-old Canadian army vet
eran wounded six times in
World War II, probably would
have been killed had he been
permitted to remain inside.
But that didn't faze Hill,
whose military sounding first
name is his christened name, not
a rank. .

Probe Irregularities
Baker Mayor's Office
Baker, July 18 VP) A grand
jury has reported to the circuit
court here that it has found ir
regularities in the mayor's of
fice and the police department
and recommended a special in
vestigation to pursue a probe of
city' affairs in greater detail.
Among the charges by the
jury was one that a certain
check signed by M. McKim,
mayor commissioner, and attest
ed to by J. F. Linville, commis
sioner number two, had been
made out to "cash" for $500
"without proper cause, without
budget authorization and with
out benefit to the city of Baker."
