for five months. He testified in
the speeding case against LeDuc,
and at that time said he had
discussed the case with superior
officers.
His resignation said:
"In view of the circumstances
and statements made to me by
my superior officers since the
day of June 18th, 1951, I feel
that I can no longer exercise
my duties as a loyal officer bear
ing in mind my oath of office
and the interest of the public.
I respectfully request that you
accept my formal resignation,
effective as of this date."
The resignation was dated
Wednesday and was submitted
Thursday.
The incident which concerned
the officer followed LeDuc's ar
rest on June 18. A civil suit by
LeDuc named Sergeant Donald
Nicholson as the member of the
department who allegedly de
nied the skater the right to post
bail on the speeding charge. The
civil action is for $30,000.
It was considered likely that
Shannon would be called as a
witness in behalf of LeDuc in
the damage action case.
His reference to "statements
made by superior officers since
the day of June 18th, 1951" (the
day of the LeDuc arrest) in his
resignation was not explained.
Shannon said, however, that
Sergeant Nicholson had not dis
cussed the case with him on sub
sequent tours of duty. His shift
captain, Lee Weaver, is on vaca
tion as is Assistant Chief E. C.
Charlton.
Chief Clyde A. Warren was
unavailable for comment.
Shannon said that the resig
nation was submitted voluntari
ly and because he felt his views
were not consistent with de
partment policy. He said no feel
ing of personal Injustice was in
volved.

"It is now more than 17 years
since I came to Washington to
engage in a public service that
I fully intended and expected
would be of camparatively brief
duration. A succession of
events, including the war period
and the special problems of its
aftermath let me to stay on. It
has been a great honor and priv

so many years, but I now feel
the time has arrived when I can

gress today to vote $535,000,000

atomic bombs and that they have
the planes that can drop these
bombs on our cities," Mr. Tru
man said in a letter to House
Speaker Raybrun (D., Tex.).
The president asserted:
"Every city, factory, office

civil defense. As long a there
is a chance of any kind that
atomic bombs may fall on our
cities, we cannot gamble. We
cannot be caught unprepared."

Co-op Hears of
Milk Problems
Ahniit fifi mpmhprs nf the
at a quarterly meeting at May-
liuwer null VYeuiieauay jugui,
heard a warning from Eugene
Keller, co-op official, that some
out of business this year because
oi a aisiriouiion margin uiai is
thinner than it has been in some
years.
The 310 cent reduction In
milk price makes a $6000 lower
margin per month for operation
in the Mayflower plant," he told
them. "Besides, dating from May
1, we have to meet a labor cost
increase of 15 cents an hour that
adds up to $8000 a month to sub
tract from the margin."
Keller said the co-operative is
trying to meet this situation by
increasing the work units per
man hour and by spurring mar
keting and sales.
Ray Hobson of Amity said
that although Marion county
stands at the top in the state in
number of milk cows its milk
supply has fallen off 3,000,000
gallons in three years. Hobson
is a cooperative director.
The reduction is general all
over the state, he said, and the
Oregon cow population has de
creased 23,000 in the three years.
Oregon dairymen, he declared,
have reached the point .where
they must decide whether they
want to stay in business or al
low milk to be imported from
California and Idaho to sell
here at a higher price.
Some of the dairymen said
they had recently sold dairy
cows for beef, making from 10
to 15 per cent more on them
