Sunday, September 6, will mark
the debut of the. National Broadcast
ing company In southern Oregon,
using the facilities of KMED, Med
ford radio station. Although the
original date for the Initial broadcast
of NBC network programs was set
for September lBth, the date has
been advanced ten days so that the
first program will be presented next
Sunday. Both the Pacific Coast Blue
and the Pacific Coast Red networks
will be featured, according to Mrs
Blanche Virgin, owner of the Medford
station.
Recent Improvements In facilities
have been effected by KMED wltn
affiliation with the National Broad
casting company In fflew. The sta
tion has a regional channel frequency
of 1410 kilocycles with a powsr of 350
watts. The nearest National Broad
caitinc stations are located at port-
land. Oreaon and San Franclsoo,
California.

agriculture by surprise, although, at
this writing, It had no idee. It waa
coming. Officials there said the plan
was carefully thought out and there
Is bo reason for altering it.
This will be their answer:
The 65 per cent bests for subsidy
Is necessary for two reasons:
1. Tto keep the payments within
the 1130,000,000 appropriated by con
gress. 3. To play fair with the majority
of cotton growers who have co-operated
with this year's soil conserva
tion program. They have already re
duced their acreage voluntarily. They
might, therefore, possibly get a sub
sidy which would amount to 100 per
cent of their actual crop. The fel
lows who didn't reduce acreage will
get only 65 per cent.
Officials further pointed out that
the restrictions on the subsidy
related to the base production i
Identical with the 1985 plan, when
payments were based, on the Bank
head allotments for that year.
Subsidy payments. It was explained
are not necewwrlly limited to 65 per
cent of the 1937 base production, for
the plan, as previously annopneed,
provides that, If the payments do not
approximate the total amount appro
priated, payments will be made with
reference to a larger proportion or
the base production.

Whatever the feeling between the

very warm plso In its heart for one
of the members of the President's
official family.
According to the old gray squirrel,
which ha been chattering with his
friends from a few blocks north of
the Whit House lawn, Charles West,
undersecretary of the department of
the Intarlor and facile liaison man
between the President and congress.
ha been sounded out a to his wil
lingness to be sponsored by C. I. O.
to enter the primaries in tn next
gubernatorial contest In on 10.
The possible endorsement or Mr,
West by labor's Non-prtlsan league
represents a policy which the organr
lutlon hopea to carry out wnerever
possible throughout the country. In
some cases, It msy choose a separate
labor candidate, but, In other cases.
It will simply give It endorsement
to a favored competitor running un

NEW TOHK- (UP) Th report
went around possibly because It
ha bean rther a windy summer
that women' dress would B
shorter thl season. There la noth
ing to It.
Expert both In the designing and
th wearing of dresses agree that:
1. Nothing In current style trends
indicate a return to the daya when
all women exhibited their knees.
3. Dress length will remain about
where they are, slightly ehorter In
the United States than In Europe
because. It Is ssld, American wo
men have better looking legs than
Europeans).
8. The great majority of women
(having eathetlcally Imperfect
kneea) are against extremely short
dresses.
Ms Dawson, dress buyer for
fashionable New York store, recently
returned from Europe, pooh-poohed
th rumored possibility that knee
lengths were coming back.
Dresses for street wear win con
tinue to hang on the average about
14 Inch from the ground.' an
ssld. "snd venlng dresses will near
ly all be ankle length or Just touch
ing the floor."
A few evening dresses, she said.
will have uneven hems shorter In
front than behind but there'll be
hardly any of th mid-calf typ.
Mis Dawson said that for most
women the mid-calf length waa "the
most becoming" for street wear.
Anything shorter la downright
"ugly" not to mention "annoying
on subway seat and windy comers.'
N. Norell, chief dress designer for
an exclusive shop, said he saw some
evening dresses In Psrls which fell
nearer than seven or eight
Inches to the floor but that only
young women with virtually perfect
legs went In for them.
