Pear Editor: The naming of a so-called "Truth Squad" to keep tab, on Congressman Al Ullman ralsea a few iuetiona In the mind of thl voter. First. In view of the financing of the National Republican truth aquad In earlier campaign. I would like to know who la fin- anctng this project. In the 1952 and 1950 campaigns an airplane belonging to radio and T V atat Ion owner George Storer, waa furnished at no cost to the COP truth squad to use In traveling throughout the country. This came close to the conflict of In terest that later caused the chair man of the FCC to loose his Job as a result of favors received from the same George Storer. Second, If It Is the purpose of the Republican candidate to con duct a clean campaign on the issues without mud slinging, as he says, why does he indirectly accuse our Congressman of need Ing a "truth squad" to point out the facts? Wouldn't a better name he the "Alibi Squad"? Third. Al Ullman's record Is a matter of public knowlege and any resident of the second dis trict should know by now what position ho takes on all public Issues. His voting record is not hidden but Is available to any one. However a real service could be performed by this Alibi Squad if they would inform the voters where Al's opponent stands on these same public issues. Such Information would be of real value and would not require the kind of financing given the earl ler truth squads.

For some time now we have been attempting to trace the route, camps and grave sites of the lost waRon train of 1845 which traveled through Eastern and Central Oregon In late sum mer and early fall of that year, The train, estimated at over 200 wagons, left old Fort Boise on the banks of the Snake River and traveled eventually to The Dalles under the guidance of Stephen H L Meek, brother of Joe Meek. Their hardships were great; over 40 deaths resulted from their Ill-advised attempt to shortcut the old Oregon Trail to The Dalles. Many versions have been handed down; many stories told. Since this Is the train that dls covered gold later to be the source of Intensive searches for the lost Blue Bucket mine much speculation and theory has been repeated as fact. We hope to eventually estab lish the main and divergent tracks of this hardy group, but after 115 years the task Is a dif ficult one.

The two of them plan to register a num ber of their cattle in this assoc latlon lf they meet Individual performance qualifications. Last Wednesday afternoon Frank An derson weighed all of his this year's calf crop while I graded them. While Frank has been doing this for years, weights were taken sooner this year than during the past as calves to qual Ify in the IPR must be weighed between 1G0 and 250 days of age to meet weaning weight qualifications. Weights were ta ken on the basis of cow and calf grazing on pasture without roughage or protein supplement. To qualify the calf, from these cows handled In this way, must weigh at least 475 pounds for males; 425 pounds for females at ceived.

The heads dry up and are sterile. Much light grain also re suits. Infected plants, in addlt Ion, have a tendency to lodge, Young shoots are also killed if the Infection is extremely severe, The fungus which is also found on native grasses Is encouraged by wet soil or wet weather, es peclally during the fall and early spring. Early seeding favors the disease by making the plants subject to attack over a longer period of time. The iungus is carried over summer on wheat crowns after plant growth Is stopped by dry hot weather. When wheat is planted in ground containing In fected crown, the fungus moves from the crown to the young seedlings. Burning the residues (stubble) does not control the disease.
