Hearing Held on Bill to
Ban Paper Liquor Ads
Toastmasfers Before
Salem Service Clubs
Capital Journal, Salem, Or, Tsmday. ViX 17, tr-l
The WCTU bill to abolish
liquor advertising was opposed
before the house alcohol com
mittee Monday by Carl C. Webb,
manager of the Oregon News
paper Publishers association.
"Advertising regulations now
in force under the Oregon Liq.
uor Control commission are
much more stringent Jhan those
' Imposed by federal laws or those
In most other states," Webb said
"Both advertisers and adver
tising media are constantly
working with the commission to
help It enforce its advertising
regulations. ' he added.
Mrs. Lamar Tooze, represent
ing the WCTU. said liquor ad
vertising encourages young peo
ple to drink and that it's false
and misleading. - i
Carroll O'Rouke, president of
' the Oregon Ad club, said the
people don't want liquor adver
tising banned. He cited the fact
that in 1950, the people over
whelmingly rejected a bill that
would have banned liquor ad
vertising.
Herb Michael, of the Lane Ad
club in Eugene, said anybody
mould have the right to adver
tise any product that is legal.
Robert E. Summers, executive
secretary t the Oregon State
Broadcasters association, said
liquor advertising could not be
banned from the state, because
much of It comes from outside
the state via radio, television
and magazines.
Also appearing for the bl):
were the Rev. Dudley Strain,
Salem, chairman of the social
action committee of the Oregon
Council of Churches; B. N.
Hicks, Oregon Temperance
league, and Mrs. Pauline Wal
ton, Eugene.

Farm Prices
Down 11 Pet.
By PATRICIA WIGGINS
Washington U.R Questions
and answers about the farm
price problem that has set off
a controversy between secre
tary of Agriculture Ezra T. Ben
son and some members of con
gress: How much have farm prices
declined?
For the past two years, prices
farmers received for their crops
and livestock have moved grad
ually downward. The level of
all farm prices is now 11 per
cent under a year ago.
Cotton is now selling at 29.79
cents a pound compared to 41.88
cents two years ago; hogs at
$17.80 a 100 pounds compared
to $20; beef cattle at $19.70 a
100 lbs. compared to $27; wool,
81 cents a pound compared to
98 cents.
Some crops, like wheat, have
not dropped so sharply in price.
But production costs, fertilizer,
machinery and others, have not
dropped as much as prices re
ceived by farmers so farmers net
income has shrunk even on these
crops.
