buying out the federal govern

Bank of Cooperatives, it was
announced Friday,
A. C. Adams, the bank president,
laid more than 100 farmers' mar

operatives in the Northwest are
stockholder-borrowers in the bank
nd will eventually take it over.
The Farm Credit Act of 1355
permits them to gradually retire
government capital in the bank
through Investment of their own
funds in capital stock and to ac
quire additional equities through
patronage refunds and other allo
cations from net savings, he said.
"This borrower-ownership orn
gram was initiated Jan, 1 and If
It goes according to schedule the
cooperatives will own this institu
tion lock, stock and barrel In about
10 years," Adams said.
Northwest farm cooperatives

credit from the bank since it open
ed 22 years ago. Adams said it
has an earned surpluse of S million

After a thrcc-wcck tour of the

He said that although the Chi

Apparently a major reason for
arranging the tour, Kirby said in
a lecture, was to open up tourist
trade and show that Communist
China is safe, interesting and
reasonably comfortahle.
He said considerable new build

descript, characterless "barracks-

attempts at making buildings more
comfortable were abandoned in the
name of economy, he reported.
Other Kirby findings:
Despite rationing, there ap
peared to be no food shortages and
no signs of malnutrition. Cloth

seems sufficient.
There is solid progress in Indus

Davis to Get Chance
To Answer Demo
Charges
WASHINGTON 11 - A top InterJ
lor Department otticiai gets his
chance next week to answer on
the record Democratic charges
that the department "gave away"
valuable Oregon timber lands un
der the guise of mining patents.
The House-Senate inquiry into
department handling of the patents
Inc., in the Rogue River National
Forest was in recess Friday.
But Sen. Neuberger (D-Ore).
acting chairman, announced 'that
Clarence A. Davis, undersecretary
of the interior, would be a witness
when the hearing resumes next
Thursday.
It was- Davis, then department
solicitor, who issued instructions
in 1953 for the taking of new as
say samples from the 15 disputed
Sarena claims in order to settle
the company's appeal from the
Bureau of Land Management's
denial of the patents. Davis ap
proved the. patents after the new
assay was made.
Democrats have criticized the
decision and the instructions, which
called for the samples to be taken
by the Bureau of Mines and sent
to an assay firm -"mutually ac
ceptable" to the bureau and the
Sarena firm.
When a mining claim is patented
the holder gets title to the timber
which stands on the land. Sen.
Scott fD-NC) maintains the tim
ber was the real objective of the
Sarena company all along. Ho says
the firm has cut a lot of timber
but has done little mining.
KcpuDUcans deny the "give
away charge which they say is
Democratic fishing for an issue
to use in the coming campaign.
They say the department had no
alternative under mining laws but
to grant the patents if the com
pany showed the land contained
enough minerals for profitable
mining operations. -
The committee recessed Thurs
day after hearing George B. Hold-
erer, a staff engineer, testify that
in his opinion the Sarena proper
ties "could not be operated profit
ably with values less than S20 Der
ton."
Our Emotions Are Usually
Jot Stable at Age of 18
ny DOHOTHY DIX
DEAR MISS DIX: Is It posslblo for a boy to be truly In love with
one girl and still dale others? I am 17, my boy friend is 18. He
attends college in another slate but has declared his love for me
since last summer. We enrresnnnd fniihfullv- u-hn ha am hnn,
for Christmas holidays I was the only girl ho dated, yet he doei go
uui wnn uuicr gins on campus, i aon t Know whether he would do
so it i were available and I don t know how serious any of these
aaics are. .
I have no other reason to doubt his sincerity.
I am really very fond of him, but don't want to
begin building castles In the air only to have
them tumbled. Sharon G.
ANSWER: The emotions of an 18-year-old boy
aren't stable enough to serve as support for your
permanent dreaming. If the lad dates others, he
may be really and truly in love with, you, yet
want these campus dates so he can take his
part in the social life of college. Again, he may
be in love with you at home and feel quite dit-
icremiy wnen away.
Exactly how he feels is something no one perhaps not even
if "7 cnn rpally to"' For ,no time bcins " woul(l De bMt ,0 accept
the friendship on the terms It's presented to you. Demanding prom
ises of fidelity would only scare him away permanently: playing
the lovesick heroine would be bad for you.
YOU DATE, TOO
Why not take your cue from him? Date others when social
activities require an escort, continue writing, be good company
when he's home, but don't exchange promises or vows of undving
love. They'd be futile. Walt for these until the lad finishes school.
He should know by then which way the wind blows.

The friendly contenders are act
ing in the same film these days,
zuth-Fox's "The Proud Ones." So I
dropped out to get a rundown on
them.
Middleton Is a tall, hulking man
of 44. dark, balding and deep-
voiced. His size and manner have
suited him for heavies, which he
has played during 75 per cent of
his career.
Like most actors, Middleton has
had his struggles, but unlike most
of them, he has had an ace in
the hole: his family runs a big
construction firm in Cincinnati
Frank Messer and Sons, Inc. (His
real name is Messer.)
"I started in the construction
business when I was old enough
to wield a shovel," Middleton said.
"But I got the acting disease bad
when I was in the first grade. It
was during the first World War
and I played a wounded soldier
in a -play.
"I acted all through school and
went to New York when I got out
in 1932. But there were no jobs for
actors then, so I went back home."
He worked in the family business
by day and did local theatricals
and radio work by night.
Finally he tried New York and
started clicking in TV and on the
stage. After scoring in "Ondine"
with Audrey Hepburn, the movie
offers came in. He'a been working
steadily on the sound stages ever
since.
Arthur O'Connell Is a wry, soft-
spoken bachelor of 47 years who
claims he never got married be
cause he couldn't afford it.
'I've had leaner days than most
anybody you could name," he re
marked. "I slept in subways and
parks and freight cars. I've worked
in soda fountains and lunch coun
ters to earn S200 so I could start
touring the casting offices again."
Born in New York and son of the
Murray Hill Hotel head waiter, he
became an actor by accident at 21.
A girl friend was an actress and
he toured the casting offices with
her. He was offered a job in a
Dorchester, Mass., stock company.
After eight years in stock and two
in vaudeville, be decided to try
Broadway.
He virtually starved for years.
One year he did six plays, all of
them closing out of town. But the
following season came "Picnic."
After the film version, he was in.
He has done six pictures since
and his lean days are over.

Liberia Signs
With Russians
MOSCOW Ml Liberia and the
Soviet Union have agreed to es
tablish diplomatic relations.
Foreign Ministry press chief L.F.
IJychev said yesterday the agree
ment was signed in Liberia and
ambassadors would be exchanged
as soon as Liberia makes the nec
essary budget appropriations.
A Soviet delegation went to Li
beria several weeks ago to attend
the third inauguration of President
William V. S. Tubman and was re
ported to have opened talks on
the exchange of envoys.
Ilychev said the agreement In
cludes pledges of nonaggression,
equality, noninterference in inter
nal affairs and-mutual respect for
sovereignty.
Earlier reports of the Soviets'
visit to Liberia said Russia offered
economic and technical aid to the
West African Negro republic. These
accounts said Liberia, which was
organized a century ago with
American help, probably would ap
proach the Soviet offers with cau
tion, despite a need for foreign
aid. Liberia Is strongly opposed to
communism and permits no Com
munist organizations within her
borders.
