The annual report read at the meeting held yesterday in May flower hall showed an increase of 83 cows tested. A total of 1395 -cows completed the year's test. in attaining these high figures the 87 members of the associa tion culled 438 cows from their herds as a result of low produc tion disclosed by testing. Pure bred sires are now being used in 49 herds. Leading individual cow tested was Nugget Walker Korndyke, a purebred Holstein owned by C. J. Berning of Mt. Angel, with a mark of 1001.7 pounds of but terfat and 23,522 pounds of milk in 305 days. Nugget was recently deposed as world champion but terfat producer in 365 days test, two times per day milking.

She yielded 705.2 pounds of butterfat and 11,736 pounds of milk.

Dewey Rejected London Post Washington, Dec. 19 (U.R)-Pre-ident Truman invited Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York to become United States ambas sador to Great Britain last Aug ust but Dewey rejected the of fer, according to informed sour ces. Dewey, twice defeated GOP candidate for president, care fully considered the offer but decided he could do the repub lican party more good by run ning again for governor and re taining his position as titular head of the GOP. Dewey then was standing on his announcement that he would not seek a third term as New York governor but privately, he had just about made up his mind to seek the nomination again, the sources said. Dewey was said to feel that by accepting the diplomatic post, he would not be able to speak his mind on national and inter national problems. Dewey has vowed never to run again for president but his demand last week for all-out economic and military mobilization against communism has made it clear he intends to speak out on major issues. Beware Attack On Christmas, Admiral Warns Concord, N. H., Dec. 19 U.R Admiral Miles R. Browning, (Ret.), state civil defense direct or, said today Russia is more likely to attack the United States on Christmas day than any other time. "I feel that the Christmas hol iday this year represents the most crucial and dangerously critical instant in the crisis which has been building up since last June," Browning said in an interview. Browning, chief of naval op erations in the South Pacific during World War II, said the Russians may strike on Christ mas because of the psychological advantage. Also, "he said, transportation is at best in Russia during the winter and at its worst in the U. S., especially in industrial centers. If there is no attack this week end, Browning said, the threat of war with Russia will dimin ish as the United States gains in strength.

'Minute Man' Civil Defense Of Vets Offered by Town Greenville, O., Dec. 19 UPi A "minute man" type of civil defense combat corps made up of ex-servicemen is the plan being offered the nation today by this town's 354-man Veterans of Foreign Wars post. The post adopted a resolution embracing the plan, and sug gested it be formed by the fed- eral government as "a program of civil defense now not in the future." Added Post Commander Har old Spitler, a World War II veteran: The strongest civilian de fense in the history of the world can be provided under this plan without one cent of cost to the nation's taxpayers, and could be provided within the next few weeks." Basic authority for such a group, Spitler said, "rests in the constitution which grants the right of citizenry to bear arms." He estimated there are 20,000,- 000 able-bodied veterans of the two World Wars who are train ed in the handling and use of basic army weapons, Ranks of the "Minute Men" named after the volunteers who stopped the British in the early days of the American Revolu tion would be open to any vet eran, regardless of age.

Each would be required to provide his own transporta tion, food and clothing, but while on active duty would be covered by armed forces' hos pitalization and disability serv ices and the $10,000 national service life insurance policy. They could be called for du ty, the post plan set out, "only (1) to prevent sabotage or seiz ure of transportation, public utilities or services, industries, or the usurpation of civil func tions of authority or (2) in the event or threat of enemy air, ground or sea attack." Under the plan, only the pres ident could call the Minute Men for service. They could not be used for strike duty, or similar civilian guard jobs.
