On Sizes Among Revisions-
Asked at Meet
The Medlord district hearing on
the proposed A A A. marketing agree
ment for cannera of Pacific coast
Bartlett pearB was concluded late
yesterday before Alva O. Nye. chair
man of the AAA. board, after an
all-day session. In which a score ot
growers gave views and opinions, in
cluding four from upstate areas.
The Medford district growers. It
developed, were favorable to the
acceptance of the marketing agree
ment, for this year, with recom
mendations for changes, the most
Important beln the request that
the specified length of canning Bart
letts. In relation to diameter be re
duced . The agreement fixea the
length at 1 1-3 times the diameter.
The Medford district asked that It
be l'i times the diameter, and that
California counties raising as long
pears, and similar in grade, be held
to the same ratio. The long pear la
preferred for canning, and the ma
jority of California counties produce
a short pear.
Favor Size, Cirnde Basis.
Other recommendations of the
Medford district growers were that
the canning pears be based on size
and grade, Instead of tonnage
Inst year; that no grower member
of the board be under a cannery
contract, and the 10 per cent toler-'
nnce of No. 7 pears and culls, In No.
1 shipments, be clarified as to price,
relative to whether the No. 1 or No.
3 price was to be paid for the toler
ance. The general opinion of Medford
district growers, according to Robert
K. Norris is "to go along with the
Agreement this year." The agree
ment provides that No. 1 Bartlett
peara for canning snail be "not leas
than aa4 Inches In diameter. Testi
mony of many growers showed that
this section, due to favorable irri
gation, molature. and growing condi
tions could comply with this size
this year. but. under normal condi
tions two and one-quarter Inches In
diameter was a better size minimum.
Rosenberg On Board.
Harry H. Rosenberg, grower and
shipper, was named member of the
control board from this district.
Article S of the agreement, char
acterized by Chairman Nye as "moat
important." and covering limitation
of pack, pear sizes for canning esti
mate of supply and demand, brought
forth testimony from Ralph E. Koo
zer. local cannery operator; Dee Hen
drickson, pear grader; R. R. Reter,
packer, grower and buyer; CourX
Hall, cannery buying agent, and H.
Van Hoevenberg.
Koozer stated. "I can not see
where the agreement la going to do
the canners any good." and that
under present conditions the pro
posed $400 assessment "would exclude
many amall canners."
Reter testified that cannery pears
were graded largely by machinery,
and refuted the claim that rulls
were used. Hendrlckson declared there
were "few crops that ran leas than
10 per cent cullage"; Reter and Van
Hoevenberg claimed "there was no
way to fix a definite percentage.'
and Hall gave expert opinion on
thinning and cullage percentage.
8. S. Otis, Newberg. Ore., grower,
wanted to know "what the cannera
do with the culls." Reter informed
the board they "were dumped and
disposed."
Canners to Give Stand.
E. N. Burns of Portland, secretary
of the Northwest Canners' associa
tion, advised the hearing board the
northwest canners would present
their stand In full at the Yakima.
Wash., hearing Friday.
Frank T. Swett, manager or the
California Pear Growers' association,
sent the following telegram with the
request it be read into the records
of the Medford hearing:
"California growers unanimous for
pear marketing agreement, with lew
slight amendments. Year ago at Klam
ath Falls, canners supported similar
agreement. If coming California Bart
lett crop normal, growers expect I
large tonnage of culls, unfit for
standard fresh fruit shipment, and
' low grade pears from canning pear
districts will be bought normal
prices, breaking down price for good
pears to disastrous price level, in
turn crashing northwest prices."

Restoration of Previous
Millage Does Not Mean
More Money Says Chan
cellor Kerr at Board Meet
PRESBYTERIANS FACE
El
PORTLAND. Orb-. April 23. (UP)
Oregon's Institutions of higher
learning will continue to operate for
the next two years on approximately
the same budget as at present, the
state board decided yesterday.
Heads of the Institutions were In
structed to prepare budgets on the
present "restricted" basis for consid
eration by the board at a special
meeting to be called In about two
weeks.
Chancellor W. J. Kerr explained
that restoration by the legislature of
most of the previous millage did not
mean that higher education would
have more money. A potential deficit
of about $76,000 a year was listed
because of lower assessed valuations
that probably will reduce the millage
9280,000 and because the system will
not have the 9360,000 In carryover
balances available two years ago.
This deficit will not occur how
ever, Kerr predicted, because ot In
creased enrollment and other minor
adjustments. Enrollment has been
better recently and Is expected to
continue Increasing, bringing In more
fees.
The board approved continuation
of present fee schedules. A $2 per ;
term increase, in laboratory fees sug
gested by the lnter-lnstitutlonal
committee was not approved.
Dormitory charges however will be
Increased 92 a month to coincide
with Increasing food costs.
The board approved legislative au
thorization or a certain percentage
of annual scholarships to students on
the basis of need and ability. The
maximum number would be about
150, under present conditions. These
students would be relieved of tui
tion and laboratory fees, averaging
about 80 a year.

Such a Plan Would Leave
Solons Free From Threat
of Blocs Would Guard
Currency Depreciation
By lAV KfHiKKfl
lulled Pre staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, April 23 UP Sena
tors would be given their full salaries
for life under a plan advanced by
Roger W. Babson, economist and sta
tistician, in a talk last night before
the Babson Institute Alumni Associa
tion of New York.
"Such a plan." said Babson, "would
make the senators free to use their
own Judgment and think first of their
people at home. It would go o long
way to offset the bullying and threats
of bloca.
Babson ' suggestion would not
change tha present method of elec
tions or lengthen the senatorial terms
of office.
Senators would continue to be re
elected or defeated every six years- as
la now the case.
"With the assurance of a salary for
Ufa, however, they would assume
more tha attitude of impartial
Judges," said Babson. "Such a plan
would make the ultimate good of the
nation mean more to congress than
the Immediate prospects of re-eleo-
tlon.
With salarlea for life they would
do nothing to depreciate the currency
In which they are to be paid. They
would do everything to protect the
government - which promises to PRy
them."
Such a program. Babson said, would
coat "only 1,800,000 a year," which
is a mere "drop" In the bucket, while
It would Immediately restore the con
fidence of all honest citizens of all
groups.
Babson painted a black picture of
the United States In the future un
leas the government "begins to curtail
its reckless spending" and look to
ward balancing the budget.
The economist said the only hope
left for world stability and peace is
the United States and Brest Britain.
"If either collapses." he said, "dem
ocrattc government, free speech, prt
vate property and other Ideals for
which our ancestors fought and bled
will be wiped away.
"Should the ultimate welfare of
126,000,000 people be blotted out In
order that our present unsuccessful
alphabetical experiments be contin
ued longer?"
Babson deplored the unbalanced
budget. Its continuance, he said, will
destruction of the national currency. I
There has never been one single
instance where a national currency
has besn destroyed without leaving
revolution in its wake," Babson b
lieved. "We are already In tha rapids and
are racing toward the falls.
"Unlet our government bglna to
curtail its reckless spending thts
country will be in a stinking mess."
The threatened revolution, he said,
would be made up of the 1,000.000
t young men now unemployed. Over
600.000 of them will soon be train-
ng in the CCC camps "for tha very
purpose of revolution.'
