Someone was bound to propose farm-type legisla tion for nnother industry. . . the "Cedar Hapids Gazette" did this in a tongue-in-cheek editorial recently. The "Gazette" suggested we (the gov ernment) buy the surplus automobiles we (the people can't afford to buy; store them; and thus give the recession a quick cure by returning the auto industry to full employment.) This would be good for General Motors, Ford and Chrysler. It would be good for the auto workers. And it would be good for the whole economy since everyone knows that when the auto industry sags, it drags down everything else. Of course, when the CCC got Into the auto storage business, we'd need both in-the-plant storage and lots of steel warehouses around the country. Storage would get to be a profitable new business, as it developed In agriculture. We'd also need plant allotments of some kind. But the "Big Three" would probably choose to idle some old, outlying buildings that dont pro duce much anyhow. And then, by adding a few more workers here and there in the main plant, the Industry could easily Increase its total pro duction, Agriculture did. Also, with a guaranteed (government) mar ket, dozens of new little auto makers would spring up outside the Detroit area. We'd be con stantly adding counties to the commercial-car-area. These new producers would add to the surplus. Not much at first. But the carryover would grow quickly. . , as witness the feed grain situation. Production might get a little sloppy, and we'd have a batch of pretty tinny cars in the CCC warehouses. After all, why should the manu facturer worry about developing markets based on quality? He's been reading for years about low-quality soft wheat and the poorer grades of cotton piling up In tents and empty ships and abandonded schoolhouses. Eventually the Congress would force the Sec retary of Manufacturing to "dump" these poor- TO THE EDITOR . . . To The Editor: I see that I made a slight err or In my last letter to you. I stated Dr Shipley purcnased a 2Va acre tract now occupied by the Morrow County Grain Grow ers. Don't know how I slipped up there as I knew better. Henry Heppner's wool and storage warehouse was already on that ground. The doctor's land was just across the street, south of there. Years ago, Harry Cum mlngs purchased this property and started a tree and flower nursery there. I enjoyed Stan ley Minor's letter. Stanley is a faithful friend and writes to me whenever the spirit moves on him. I get lots of news through Stanley. Makes me think of a story about his father and mo ther. Don't know if Stanley ever heard this one, but here it is. Many years ago, when the Sper ry flour mill at Heppner got into financial difficulty, several local men, including Oscar Minor, Stanley's father, stepped in and STAR THEATER Thurg., FrL, Sat, Aug.' 7, 8. 9 Maracaibo With Cornel Wilde, Jean Wal lace.

Well Mrs Minor used to bake their own bread and always In sisted that the Joeal flour was Inferior to the flour shipped in from Portland. But Oscar always took home the local flour, un til one day Mrs Minor dumped two or three sacks Into the creek. She told Oscar to go down to the store and bring back some decent flour or there would be no more bread baked by her. Oscar went to the mill, had the miller dump out a couple of sacks of outside flour and then fill the sacks with Heppner flour. He took it home and Stan ley's mother baked up a big batch of bread and it turned out the best she had ever baked. She said. "See I told you the lo cal stuff was no good. From now on, I want the kind you brought home today." Oscar told me once that he never dared to tell his wife the truth about this. Maybe some of Jack's friends In Heppner will be interested to know about him. He served about two years in the Air Force in Korea, then about the same time at Mountain Home Air Base in Idaho. He met a fine girl In Twin Falls and about two years ago they were married and came to Castle Rock to live. They live in Longvlew, Wash now, about 12 miles from Castle Rock. They have a little son named Michael John Yeager, now about 8 weeks old. He , looks like his mother except his hands. They are just like Jack's. Jack says he will! make a good magician out of him in about 20 years. Jack is employed In the office of a large shingle mill in Kelso, just across the Cowlitz river from Longview and about 9 miles from Castle Rock. O M Yeager Castle Rock, Wash.

This would make the rest of the world quite unhappy but after all, there are millions of stockholders in the auto Industry and millions of workers. All of whom vote. Smart operators abroad would scoop up these give-away automobiles, nlckleplate the motors, and sell them back to our U S high school kids for less money than the domestic price. Can't you see the ad? "Genuine no-mileage 5-year-old Fords. Make wonderful hotrod. Take advan tage of your own two-price system. Only $700. Uncle Sam paid the rest. Open day and night, Pier 17." Sounds silly, doesn't it? About like the situation on cotton, in fact. ' Remember, of course that this would not be permanent legislation. We'd just write it for a year or two, to curb the present recession. It would be extended maybe 6-8 times, what with cold war threats, cost-price squeezes and other regular emergencies popping up. After maybe 10-12 years, most everyone would recognize that the program wasn't working too well. Producers had found that the "floor" had become in effect a ceiling and they never re ceived a parity price. In addition, they faced repeated cutbacks in total output so they had less price and also less volume in the real car belt. While new producers around the edges constructed enough cars to keep the surplus stocks growing higher. Labor, on a short .work week, made less pay. Industry made less profit And the public was unhappy about both the extra taxes and the artificial pricing of cars. Many took to travel by rail, plane and locally on bicycles. But Congress would have voted too often for the auto-support legislation to face up to its weaknesses. Attempts to inject sensible amend ments would meet opposition. House and Senate would prefer to just "freeze the situation until after election" and wait for the miracle, as they've waited so long for a similar miracle in agriculture.

The past week I was called into Oregon State col lege at Corvallis to sit in on a sewing machine workshop put on by a Singer Sewing Machine representative.
