SALEM, Ore., Aug. 23. (AP) Any
wheat shipped to the Chinese govern
ment to relieve famine sufferers In
the flooded districts In the central
part will go from tfte Pacific north
west, Senator Charles L. McNary;
Oregon, was advised today by the
U. S. farm board. -
The government has proffered the
sale, of 15,000,000 bushels of surplus
wheat to the Chinese government,
McNary was advised. The Oregon
senator thereupon wired the request
that the wheat be made Into flour

convert t.ne wheat rather than send
It In the raw state. He also requested
that the wheat be shipped from the

as much as one half of the wheat
shipment In floi-r.

than 10,000,000 sufferers. Since that
time he has followed up his sugges
tions with subsequent wires. Mc
Nary said that the decision to send.!
the wheat from the Pacific northwest
would mean considerable to tftls sec
tion, and he emphasized his pleas
ure that much of the wheat would
be ground by American flour mills.

BOISE. Ida.. Aug. 23. (AP) Kind
winds smiled on the towns of Garden
Valley, Centervllle and Placerville In
the forest fire zone north of here,
and saved them, at least temporarily,
from destruction,
The fire that destroyed Quartzburg
and Granite .Creek Thursday was
fought off the edge of Placerville In
a searing eight-hour battle Ifu.; night
until a change la the wind turned
the flames northeast of the town and
gave tho beleaguered fire lighters an
hour's respite. v
But the same wind that swept the
hamea away from Placerville, carried
them toward the' valley and' town' of
Oarden Valley. Prontlo calls tor as
sistance were received In, Boise for.
fire fighters. Many were rushed to
the scene but the rire advanced four
miles over the ridge and within three
miles of the town when the wind
whimsically turned on Itself and be
gan blowing from the north.
Line Is Held. . . .....
On those lines the fire waa held
as daylight came today after the cool
hours of the night had quieted the
flames.
The telephone operator at Placer
ville said residents, all of whom have
moved their belongings cut of the
town, were optimistic the place would
be saved. Two times the fire has
burned to tho edge of town so that
the buildings had to be wet down
to keep them from burning.
Meanwhile the plight of the refu
gees was becoming more serious. Three
hundred persons have been driven
from their homes, and many of them
have been robbed of employment by
destruction of the Oold Hill and Ida-
wa mine tn Quartz burg. Red Cross
officials and the Idaho national guard
have furnished food, some clothing,
bedding and tents, hut cold nights
of the high mountain valley are be
coming a menace.

camp after the Quartzbur? fire. The
mother and father, Mr. and Mrs.
Francis Wllley, had fled from Placer
