Pullman, Wash., July 14.-A1thougb
tha Pacific northwest fruit Industry
ho made a degree of progress toward
the solution of Its marketing prob
lems, definite steps remain to be
taken to restore prosperity to those
who produce, It waa emphasized by
B. A. Perham of Yakima, who ad
dressed a conference group at the
American Institute of Cooperation
here Tuesday.
"Many of our present difficulties,"
Mr, Perham stated, "have been In
herited; others have been thrust upon
us; and still others ws have gone out
of our way to acquire. In the latter
category U a good bit of false pride
about our product and Individual
businesses; a few chlselers; trade
Jealousies; and marginal and sub
marginal growers."
Too Many Rules
Of the Inherited problems, the
speaker described that of overpro
duction or underconsumption as the
moat difficult. Of those which have
been thrust upon It. the Industry
suffers most from a multitude of
Intolerable rules, regulations, laws,
taxes, and exorbitant freight rates,

or underconsumption. Mr. Perham
noted the recent progress mada In
advertising and sales promotion both
through state sponsored and through
Industry bureau merchandising cam
palgna. Aa a further attack upon
the problem he urged the removal,
through government aid, of marginal
and sub-marginal orchards.
"There sema to be no argument
against the .fundamental principles
of advertising aa a means of Increas
ing the usage of fruits. They are too
deeply rooted In the Industry to argue
against them. On the other hand, It
la fallacious to believe that advertis
ing can cure all the Ills of marketing.
Lower Freight Needed
"If the fruit Industry of the north
west is to survive and show a normal
production Increase," he further com
mented, "a more favorable freight
rate la Imperative. In the five years
from 1031 to 1936 apple shipments
from Washington declined by an
average of 7,000 cars annually from
the 1026-1930 figures. Unleaa there U
a marked Improvement In returns to
growers this trend must continue.
"Another grievous problem that has
been a millstone oh the apple and
pear growers 1 the spray residue
removal requirements of the food and
drug administration. Although there
Is not a single Instance of record
of anyone being Injured by eating
sprayed fruit, requests for the modi
fication of tolerance regulations have,
been consistently rejected. The stren
uous wash necessary to remove the
residue has cost the Industry a tre
mendous sum and has detracted from
the attractiveness of fhe fruit."
Aa a means of solving the market
ing problems, Mr. Perham recom
mended the conduct of the Industry
advertising program to net a cash
register value to all handlers: brokers.
Jobbers, and retailers. He further
urged that the Industry seek:
1. National legislation to control
Interstate shipments of offgrade fruit
by rail or truck.
3, Rehabilitation of the marginal
fruit grower Into some other lines of
endeavor,
3. Freight rate adjustment equita
ble to growers and carriers.

association with the objectives of

METICULOUS FLIER;

World Girdler, Speed King
' Shows Father's Interest
in Things Scientific
Shy, He Does As Pleases
By DEVON FRANCIS
AP Aviation Editor
NBW YORK If thin, wiry Howard
Robard Hughes, the millionaire now
turned world filer, gives a tinker's
dam about what other people think
of him, he has never shown It during
his 34 years.
Hughes announced he waa going
to fly the Atlantic. Why, was his
business. A few years ago he was
making hit movies. He abandoned
Hollywood. That was his business,
too.
A year ago last January he streaked
across the United States to set a
speed record which has never been
approached 7 hours. 38 minutes.
Crawling from his ship, he was cour
teous, tolerant, unlnformatlve.
He merely wanted to do It If a
man wanted to risk a neck valued
at several millions, K was his affair.
He Took It Up
His few Intimates deny he Is a
blue chip playboy. Whatever he Is,
he does what pleases his fancy with
a courage and energy which set him
apart.
"Better let someone else take that
plane up." Dick Palmer, who built
his "Hughes special" racer, advised
the filer In 1036.
"No," reaponded Hughes. "I had
confidence enough In you to have
you build It. I have enough confi
dence that It will fly."
He took It up on Its first test hop,
and then smashed all long-distance
speed records at an average pace of
332 miles an hour.
Bit Oxygon Hose
Temperamentally nervous, Hughes
is stone-like In the cockpit of a rac
ing airplane. On his transcontinental
record flight, he almost lost con -sclousnesa
at an altitude of 22,000
feet when a special oxygen face mask
failed to function.
He calmly bit In two the rubber
hose leading to his oxygen tank and
sucked on the gaa until his head was ,
clear. j
On another occasion, when a severe
downdraft dropped his plane dan
gerously close to some mountain tops
near Los Angeles, he maneuvered
toward a lake to pick up smoother
air.
"Hope I didn't scare you." he
remarked casually to a friend In the
cnbln behind him.
The Hughes fortune largely was
due to his father's Invention of a
rotary drill bit for sinking oil wells.
The elder Hughes founded the Hughes
Tool Co., In Houston, of which the
son Is board chairman.
Born rich, Hughes followed his fa
ther's technical bent. At the age of
12 he had constructed hla own radio
receiving set. The Hughes home
made automobile was a common
sight In Houston. At 15 he had
taken his first flight. In his twen
ties, he established himself as one
of Hollywood's foremost movie pro
ducers. He made money. Among his pic
tures, "Hell's Angeles," "Scarface."
and "The Front Page" helped make
movie history.
Keeps Full !
Like his father, Hughes la attract-
ed by anything scientific. When he
files, he works every minute. His
"logs" are "vomplete." At the close
of a flight he can rattle off his aver
age fuel consumption, cylinder head
temperatures, manifold pressures, the
altitudes at which he navigated, his
speed and even the temperature of
he air outside the plane.
For his current flight, he Installed
every piece of scientific apparatus In
his "Lockheed 14" transport that
came to mind.
Though danger means nothing to
him until recently he held the
world's landplane record of 352 mtles
an hour over a measured course he
Is loath to rlak the Uvea of others.
President Roosevelt once told Hughes
he would like to make a flight with
htm.
"Well," replied the young million
aire, "If you do, Mr. President, It
will be the most nervous flight I've
ever taken."
still a Bachelor
Shy in the extreme, Hughes has
made a speech only once In hla life,
before the New York Advertising club.
'Speed la nothing of Itself." he
said then. "It must be adapted to
commercial use If attaining It Is to
be worth while.
He Urea simply but Indulges a
roraclous appetite. He cares nothing
for clothes, has often been seen with
unpressed trousers. He ha been
known to touch his Hps to one cock-
all an entire evening and leaves the
lass brimful. He dors not smoke.
He plays golf In the low 70's.
From time to time movie press
amenta have tried to link Hughes'
name with actresses, but he remain
blissfully single and Indifferent to
such publicity.

L BETTERMENT
THROUGH NEW IDEAS
EN BY EDUCATORS
EUGENE, July 14. VV-The pub
lic school curriculum In Oregon and
elsewhere as well, can be unproved
by carefully choosing the best of
new Ideas and adapting them to the
Individual schools, by Improving
methoda of teaching oral expression.

ing a corrective health education
program that would Include health
experiences. It was declared here to
day by a cor pa of experts at the
final meeting of tho state -conference
on curriculum, held for the
past three days under the auspices
of the University of Oregon summer
session.
"The classroom should no longer
be regarded aa a place for recita
tion, but aa a laboratory of life."
It was declared by C. C. Trlllmgham
of the Los Angeles public schools.
"The single textbook Is fast giving
away to a program that not only
Involves aeveral texts, but newspa
pers, motion pictures and ocher fac
tors." Improvement of teachers In ser
vice, under a program of develop
ment stimulated by leadership. Is
regarded as one of the most hn- j
portant factors In education. It was
stated by Dr. P. Q. Macomber. pro
fessor of education at the university.
