Rather danger to Re public lies in new virus Infecting bureaucracy like an epidemic. For want of a better name, this sickness over the land Is called "Let's - Settle This - In - A -Dark Closet" virus. Almost every day fresh evidence Is furnished of a 1 1 e m p t s to handle peo ple's affairs without people knowing about . . . fc. w. n.raer A current example Is attempt to hold hearings of major oil and gasoline marketing practices behind closed doors. A sub com mittee of House Small Business Committee, under chairmanship of Rep. James Roosevelt, is en gaged in this work. The committee has made sev eral serious charges, all of them tending to Indicate major oil companies rig petroleum market at their pleasure. It Is also charged that out of nation's 200, 000 Independent gasoline station operators, 66,000 of them are forced out of business every year by nefarious practices. These are serious charges. Yet on the opening day of hearings It was announced public and press would be barred from hearings; that witnesses on both sides would be heard in secret. Chairman James Roosevelt, not known for being overly secre tive or coy, said action was bas oH nn n rprrnt rulins Dassed by House which made it mandatory to hold hearings of this nature in secret. - However, In this case, George Burger, Vice President of Na tional Federation of Independent (g) Nwlonal KfilT.M'tn of InMPtit-tvlrrt H5tnm RnelnM mnH head of the Wash ington office, raised a protest that resulted in rescinding ruie. it v uihaMinentlv announced role was only Intended to protect .... . . . . ft individuals Drougni oeiore vu- rreaolnnal rnmmitteeS On mat ters concerning personal loyalty. m Still to be discovered, however, . u mhit nrrp nrevailed to es tablish such an interpretation of this ruling in an mvesuea tion where trade practices of ma jor oil companies are being probed. Few, if any, oeneve Roosevelt made interpretation hut that h mprplv was Kuided by interpretation handed him. But fact that first application of this rule was attempted In a hearing In which small Indepen dent business Is arrayed on one side, and global operating cor porations are on the other sir"e, Is held to be significant. , Instances such as this one mul tiplied many times, causes won der in Washington. Constantly asked is this ques tion: "Who Is behind these con stant cover-ups and why?" This passion for secrecy man ifests itself in queer ways. Re cently State Secretary John Dul les made scare headlines an nouncing a big Red Chinese, air power build up opposite Formo sa. But at the same time he stat ed he could not reveal the speci fic extent of this Red Chinese build up for security reasons. This probably marks first time In history strength of a potential enemy has been considered in formation to be kept secret from the people who may be called upon to oppose it. This could be some sort or nign level swaiegy hitherto unknown to mankind. Again, it could be a symptom of the deep reaching "hide-in-the-closct" virus now Infecting Washington bureaucracy. Or it could be just a plain care of "Who's kidding who?" Fat Cattle Prices Likely to Follow Last Year's Trend Fat cattle price levels and pat terns' similar to last year seem likely for the rest of 1955, says extension farm market outlook specialists at Oregon Stats col lege. Stocker and feeder prices may not hold up quite as well. The specialists explain that this means best prices for beef cows are at hand or just past. They are likely to work lower by several cents as culling and marketing pick up this summer and fall. Prices for fat cattle grading good or better started slipping about mid-April and may de cline even more during May and June, if the nation's feedlot oper ators carry out their spring mar keting plans. In April, these operators had 14 percent more cattle on feed than they had last April, and they are expected to market about 20 percent more by Julv 1. Through March, beef slaughter held about even with the first three months of 1954, but gained a little last month. After July, top grades of slaugh ter cattle should show the usual seasonal rise in prices, providing unfavorable weather doesn't force heavy selling of range herds. Much increase over last fall in grass marketings would bring lower prices for these kinds, checking the rise in prices for too grades that usually lasts through September. Cattle feeders may not bid M AYOR ARY SAYS the type of artificial lighting used florescent lights affect col ors differently than do Incandes cent lights. The home furnishings special ist offers the following tips for choosing colors: Colors with a reddish or pink ish cast such as the popular co coa browns, fawns and rose beiges appear softened and most pleasing under incanrescent light but take on unexpected tones when used in large areas exposed to daylight. Violet, lilac and mauve show to best advantage in natural light which makes them suitable for a room used mostly during trie daylight hours. Incandescent light may give these colors a drab appearance. Pink, red and terra cotta hues also look their best, in daylight. They seem stronger and take on an orange cast under glaring lights. The popular blue-green family of colors are bluer by day and much greener under artificial lighting. Clear yellow often turns "creamy" under artificial lighting, and a pleasant gold may take on a "grayed mustard" tone.

Feeders' margins an smaller this year and the more cautious have their eye on the possible effects of larger supplies ana lower pruts of pork that lie ahead for this fall and next winter. Othprs more optimistic are pointing toward rising consumer incomes and prospects for lower grain and concentrates prices as a basis for steady to nigner pi.w for feeder cattle during the rest of the year. Much depends on how the weather affects local and national feed conditions during the next six months. Recently, stocker and feeder prices at Ontario and Portland have been about the same to a little higher than last year. Last year's stocker and feeder prices at these key Oregon markets hit their peak In May and June. Then thpv spttled to a lower level in l Julv and Aueust that held fairly (steady during the rest of the year. OKIWANITA CAMP FIRE GIRLS The group gave a Mother's Day party for the mothers May 10.
