PAOE TWO frrEDFOKD MATL TRIBUNE, MEDFOBP, OREflON, TUESDAY, 'AUGUST 30, 1938. POLICY EXPLAINED IN WHEAT EXPORT Agriculture Department An 1 nounces Wheat Will Be Purchased and Resold to Exporters at Low Price WASHINGTON, Aug. 80. ) The agriculture department announced today Its wheat export suoaldy pro gram would be carried out by pur chasing wheat and reselling tt to ex porters at a price enabling them to meet competition In the world mar ket. ' Acting Secretary M. L. Wilton, who announced the policy In the absence of Secretary Wallace said the pro gram would be handled by the sur plus commodity corporation. He explained losses sustained bj the corporation in reselling the wheat to exporters would be made up from customs receipts set aside by the farm law for the removal and dispos al of farm surpluses. To Use Huge Sum The surplus commodities corpora tion has arranged to borrow 130.000. 000 from the reconstruction flnanco corporation and this sum will be 1 used as a revolving fund In the ex porting operations. First purchasers under-the program were made last Saturday. . Wilson sold In the actual sale of the wheat the corporation plans to pursue a merchandising policy sim ilar to that which has been adoptod by the Canadian wheat Doard. In carrying out the program the facilities ol the regular wheat xtttl flour trade, Including farmer coopor . atlvM. will be used, he said. Wilson said the program would oe limited to 100,000,000 bushels. 18 Per Cent of Trade "Exports of 100,000,000 bushels would be approximately 18 per cent of the estimated world trade In wheat for this season," he said, "This com pares with about 20 per cent of the world trade that the United States obtained during the past season und with an average share in world wheat exports of approximately 26 per cent during the years of 1930 to 1930." Wilson said that In actual opera tion of the program an offer and ac ceptance method would be used, un der which exporters of wheat and flour would make offers for wheat or flour based upon the prices prevail lng In the export market. These offers may be less than the domestlo price paid for wheat by the surplus commodities corporation and the difference between the resale price to exporters and the price paid to domestlo holders would ccme from customs receipts.

That Effort Being Made To Destroy Church In Germany Branded Non sense By Propagandist. BERLIN. Aug. 80. (AP) A propa ganda - ministry spokesman today branded as "nonsense" charge; made by Germany! Roman Catholie hclr archy In a paatoral letter efforta were being made In Germany to destroy the church, "All one haa to do," the Spokes- man said, "la to compare what tha German state has done for the Cath ollc church. The government Is pay ing millions of marks annually to the church and the fact that the read ing of the letter was possible clearly demonstrates that there can be no talk about persecution. Protection Is Aim "The. government tteelf has the moat earnest desire to protect the church from antl-rellglous demon strations." - Aa evidence of this be cited th fact the government had banned a; number of publications adhering to j an an tl religious policy. Answorlng the bishop's charge "un-1 paralleled, ugly, concentric attacks and outrages" were used against Bishop Johann Sproll who was ex pelled from Wurttemberg last Thurs day, the spokesman said the nails had acted solely to protect tfce bishop The letter, formulated at a recent conference of bishops at Pulda and read from pulpits yesterday, told not mention the nazla by name.

Assailing unnamed personalities for attacking In a damaging manner" the personal honor of Pope Plus, the letter satd "We Oerman bishops stand behind him all the more close ly and faithfully when he suffer for our sake," It recalled the church had out lasted all strife for 3.000 years and prophesied It would endure in the future.

METEOR IN TREE ONLY A CLINKER, BELIEVES EXPERT ZUOKNE, Aug. 30. (p) Express ing the opinion that the reported "meteorite" which 'landed In a tree near La Pine recently was not a rao teorlte at all, Dr. J. High Pruett western representative of the Amer ican Meteorological society, said to day from what he had been able to determine, he believed the object was a "clinker." All attempts to obtain a piece of the object for examination have fail ed, Dr. Pruett said, declaring he had been refused access to the material. If a small piece of the material could be obtained. It could quickly be de termined whether or not it was truly meteoric, he satd. "There tree meteorites have often been found and reports of Investiga tions have been published. ' he said "Many forestry men conslaer them nothing but clinkers that are formrd inside the trunk of a tree after a slow fire probably caused by light nlng has burned for days or weeks A necessary condition for the forma tion of such clinkers Is an enclosed space where the oxygen supply is de ficient and where accumulated heat, having practically no chance for dis sipation, becomes very Intense. "I receive dozens of clinkers every year from those who suspect they are meteorites. It seems likely most uf these have formed when tree roots have burned slowly underground. 'Contrary to the general Impression, It is now known that meteorites cesi to glow long before they reach the earth. In general, they are not tut enough to set anything on fire when they strike. Some have bean ptckoi up Immediately and can usually he handled without much discomfort." Ancient Bronze Cat Stirs Row Over Bread and Art Phone 542. we'll haul away vow refuse. City Sanitary Service Use Mall Tribune Want Ada ST, LOUIS (UP) -A 914,400 bronze cat, cast In Egypt 3,400 years ago. Is the center of a squabble between the City Art museum on one side and newspapers and citizens on the other. The figure, possibly fashioned to enshrine the mummy of a favorite temple cat, was purchased recently by the city from a New York art dealer. It was placed In the museum along with other relics of ancient Egypt- But It met opposition of citizens. Protests poured Into the offices of museum officials from citizens in dignant 'over the expenditure of so much money when the city's needy were facing hunger. A newspaper entered the fight, devoting a part of Its editorial page to "An Open Letter to a Cat." "Somehow we think your visit Is ill-timed," the editorial said. "You see, the same day your arrival was announced the newspapers carried the pathetic story of the eviction of a woman and her seven children for non-payment of $15 a month rent. The money spent for you would have paid her rent for the next 18 years. And there are others In the same predicament who will be thrown out Into the streets if relief funds fall.' Officials of the museum replied that It was their legal duty to use the funds alloted to the museum for the purpose to which they were Intended Improving and extending the city's art collections. Louis La Beaume, president of the board, expressed sympathy with the plight of the needy but said there was nothing he could do about It. "People cannot live by bread alone," La Beaume said. "Our uni versities and schools are crowded with students acquiring a classical education. Pew of them can Journey to Europe or Asia or Africa to study works of art at first hand. "Education must not halt because business marks time." Mayor Bernard P. Dickman declined to comment regarding the bronze cat. He aalo he didn't want to become Involved in the controversy. The board of the museum char acterized the cat as assuming rank with "the great animal sculptures of all time." It was estimated that the statue was molded about 500 B. C in Egypt. It la made of bronze about an eighth of an inch thick, cast by the so-called "lost wax process.- CARELESS WITH TRUTH GRANTS PASS. Aug. 30. (AP) Tourists from Oregon don't always tell the truth, according to Inspectors at the California "bug station" on the Redwood highway between Grants Pass and Crescent City.

A total of 641 lots were re fused admittance as hosts of citrus pests, alfalfa and sweet potato wee vils, cherry fruit flies, Oriental fruit moths, and cotton pests. For the attention of Mayor Carson of Portland, who a year ago declared a boycott of California because In spectors pried too deeply Into ladles' suitcases, the Inspectors pointed out: "757 lots of plant material were found despite owners' denials; 162 lots were found In suitcases."
