Tips Are Suggested
By Home Expert
Homemakers can make more
effective use of color In the home
if they examine colors in both
daylight and artificial light be
fore making major decorating De
cisions, says Mrs. Myrtle Carter,
Oregon State college home fur
nishings specialist.
Daylight lends a blue effect to
colors, for example, while ordi
nary light bulb rays add yellow.
Mrs. Carter recommends careful
consideration of living habits be

If a certain room Is used main
ly in the evening, its colors should

every day
fresh evidence
Is furnished of

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

(g) Nwlonal KfilT.M'tn of InMPtit-tvlrrt H5tnm
RnelnM mnH head of the Wash

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.

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.

quite as strongly as u-.ual later
this year when stocker ana ieeu
er marketings Increase. 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.
