Washington, D. C, June 12. No
one pretends to know how much
money is being voted by congress
ior national defense, aid to Britain,
etc. From the president comes a
special message making a request
for a few hundred millions and it is
promptly voted. The war depart
ment requests more hundred mil
lionsa Jew billions and after a
day of consideration by a committee
it is voted in a few minutes. From
the navy comes a request for a bil
lion or two, and this has the same
expeditious treatment as the request
from the army or from the president.
Congress is running wild making
appropriations. There is almost no
effort to hold down outlays and
thereby reduce taxes a little. But
the congressmen are "on the spot."
If one knows that this spending
should be curbed he is regarded as
a stumbling block: as not in sym
' pathy with national defense and at
heart a fifth columnist. This being
the case, the congressmen either
vote for the appropriation or care
fully absent themselves when the
roll is being called. One member
who regularly gets the floor and
talks for one minute unvariably
asks, Where will you get the mon
ey?" This member is not popular;
he is regarded as against the ad
ministration, as one who would scut
tle the defense program to pinch
pennies.
A canvass among congressmen re
veals that not one has the slightest
idea of the total of appropriations.
There has not been a week when a
staggering sum has not been voted
without the bat of an eyelash. Men
high in the administration tell con
gress that the defense program will
cost the United States $100,000,000,
000 before we are through; that the
billions already approved are mere
ly a start, that requests for another
20 billion will be made in the fiscal
year beginning next month. Pre
sumably there is some official, pro
bably a bookkeeper in the corner
of some office, who is keeping tally
on the outlay, but he appears to
keep his secret.
On the theory that the time to
get is while the getting is good, there
are members who endeavor to have
defense funds spent in their district
or state and these have no interest
in economy. Some of the most im
portant functions the war depart
ment is to undertake have not been
announced yet, but there are mem
bers of congress who are pulling
wires to see that these activities are
properly located, and properly lo
cated means in their district if pos
sible.
Secretary of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., suggested that one
billion dollars could be saved this
year by refusing appropriations to
certain agencies. Invited to itemize
these agencies, he mentioned the
CCC camps, the WPA, and immedi
ately raised a row. There is a pro
posal for CCC and NYA to con sol
idate but such a merger will never
please the people of the west for
the enrollees have performtd re
markable work in the forests, in soil
reclamation, on reclamation projects,
on grazing, on wildlife centers and
on public land. The west, better
than the east, recognizes the value
of these camps. As for WPA, al
though the president reduced hb
request for that agency, there are
many champions in congress for this
relief work, for not everyone is cap
able of taking a job in private in
dustry and there are millions who
need the small sum that WPA pays.
So neither CCC or WPA will b.
eliminated. The forces will be re
duced, projects deleted, but both
will carry on within whatever sum
congress approves.
Many members of congress real
ize that a payday must come and
Wheat Germ Has
Vital Place in

Widespread use of the new en

' Seed Growers of

Statewide League
Oregon seed growers who are re
sponsible for an industry that adds
some five million dollars annually
to the agricultural income, have de
cided to pool their interests in the
creation of a state-wide organiza-
Experiments carried on this year ! on to te ,known as Jf 0r W Seed
in the nutrition laboratories by Dor
othy Harstad Fenner, graduate as
sistant, and Agnes M. Kolshorn, as
sistant professor in foods and nutri
tion, have resulted in the develop
ment of numerous recipes using
wheat germ, which provide foods
exceedingly rich in vitamin B, vita
min E, and one of the other B vita-
mir.s.
Wheat germ is obtainable at gro
cery stores in vacuum cans, in cel
lophane packages, and in other con
venient containers. It is processed
before packing to reduce the chance
of its becoming rancid, although it
is best kept in a cool place, since its
fat content will deteriorate at room
temperature.
Wheat germ may be included in
the homemaker's favorite muffin,
cookie, or nut bread recipe by sim
ply substituting it for one-third of
the flour. Usually no other changes
in ingredients or methods of mixing
are necessary. In making yeast
breads, however, it is impossible to
use as large a proportion of wheat
germ, as it interferes with the de
velopment of the glutin, Mrs. Fen
ner found. Where wheat germ is
used in bread, an increased amount
of flour in relation to liquid, a shor
ter rising period, and . lower oven
temperatures are recommended.
Use of refined cereals has created
a dietary problem in the United
States which is now being correct'
ed in various ways, partly as a na
tional defense measure to insure bet
ter health and national vigor. The
three most practical ways are con
sidered to be the use of whole grain
products more regularly, use of the
recently developed enriched flour,
and the addition of wheat germ in
the home to cereals used either in
bread products or breakfast foods.
they would like nothing better than
to trim appropriations, but they can
not without the moral pressure, for
national defense and the regular de
partments, almost without exception,
are keeping within their budgets.
The one hope of these congressmen
is that when the war is over the
world will be so financially busted
that there will be a general cancel
lation of debts. They do not expect
to collect a dollar from Britain,
China or any other country that the
United States is helping, and they
do not believe the people of tht
United States will go on taxing
themselves for two or three gener
ations to pay for these war expen
ditures. This point will become clearer
next spring when the people begin Centers
paying new raxes ana lncreasea oiu
taxes. When the government starts
taking 30 cents out of - every dollar
of income (some say it will exceed
30 percent, may go to 40) the people
will discover that they are in a wa. ,
and in 1943 when the taxes aie tilt-)
ed still higher there will be grumb
ling and in 1944, presidential election
year, it is believed the tax question
will be the paramount issue.
There are ways of saving, how
ever, by compelling the employer
to take part of the payroll and set
it aside for each worker, and the
"doing without" can be accomplish
ed by the government fixing prices
or refusing manufacturers of con
sumer goods from being supplied
with materials, such as is now being
done with aluminum, no more alu
minum ice trays in the frigidair; no
more aluminum pots and pans the
housewife will buy enamel ware, and
like it Some of these ideas on sav
ing and doing without have been
laid before the president within the
past two weeks.
of this service association was com
pleted at a meeting held at Oregon
State college which followed several
preliminary meetings of organization
committees.
The new association was pattern
ed rather closely after the Eastern
Oregon Wheat league which has for
.some 15 years operated ..ffc-cti . el
as the voice of the commercial wheat
growers in this state. For the time
being the association will be unin
corporated, it was decided, as it will
not serve as a marketing organiza
tion, but merely as the official voice
of the Oregon seed industry.
Glen Ritchie of Forest Grove, who
has headed a Washington county
seed growers' group and who was
chairman of the organization com
mittee, was elected as one of nine
directors, and later was chosen by
these directors as president for the
coming year. Other officers are Ber
nal Hug, Elgin, vice president, and
E. R. Jackman, Oregon State col
lege extension specialist in fanr
crops, secretary-treasurer.
The state was divided into seven
districts with one director for each,
with the exception of the large dis
trict including all of the Willam
ette valley and Hood River county,
which is represented by three di
rectors. The nine directors by dis
tricts are as follows: Coast district,
Mark Johnson, Astoria; Willamette
valley and Hood River, Glen Ritchie,
Forest Grove; Raymond Johnson,
Eugene; Joe Harland, Rickreall;
southern Oregon district, Frank
Schotzwohl, Grants Pass; south
central, E. A. Geary, Klamath Falls-
central, J. E. Thompson, Bend; eas
tern, M. W. Osborn, Nyssa; north
eastern, Bernal Hug, Elgin.
The league will provide a means
for the industry to express itself on
matters of legislation and will be
used to help maintain the quality
of the Oregon seed output, and to
work for greater standardization of
grades, according to purposes set
out in the by-laws.

encies yet this summer, according
to school of forestry officials.
Men will receive immediate train
ing in the use of the fire finder, ra -dio,
and other fire equipment, after
which they will be eligible fo"
placement as forest guards. Many
of the regularly trained foresters this
year have been taken into defense j
positions.
In addition to the central camp,
side camps will be located near the
Santiam pass at Hoodoo ski lodge,
at Campus mountain near Roseburg,
and a third in Clatsop county. When
out on fire duty the men receive
regular wages.
