T I I l I NSUIANCt IIMtl IfCIOWi CASE off the GAMBLER Heavy gambling debts faced Jack Doe. He decided to mortgage his home. Not wanting his wife to know about his gambling, he persuaded another woman to sign the mortgage as his wife. Later, Mrs. Doe learned of the mortgage and proved the forgery. The lender, in this case, had had the title to the mortgaged property insured. The title insurance company took an assignment of the mortgage and worked out a settlement with Jack Doe and his wife. Without title insurance, the lender would have suffered a serious financial loss.

Air Warning System Along Entire Coast 'Soon As Possible' San Francisco, Feb. 22 (U.R) Two air force generals said to day an air raid warning and air craft spotting system will go in to effect "as soon as possible" for the entire Pacific Coast area.

Volunteers Needed Rush said that 20,000-25,000 volunteers would be needed to man California stations alone. He emphasized that an air de fense system is "already in be ing" and is becoming "more active day by day." Plans already underway call for establishment of two separ ate systems, one is an aircraft spotting and identification sys tem and the other a civil air raid warning service. The command has asked a budget of $180,000 for the oper ation of the program.

These stations will feed their reports to seven filter stations. Filter stations will be located in Portland, Spokane, Seattle, two in Oakland, Cal., and two in southern California. Their job will be to coordinate reports from the spotters and pass the information to the air force. For the air raid warning sys tem, key point centers will be established, Rush said, to which air defense command centers will pass any information indi cating an air attack. Up To State Heads It will be up to state authori ties. Rush continued, to handle further dissemination of the alert from the key centers to other points. The air raid warning centers. It is expected, will be manned "24 hours a day, seven days a week indefinitely." Would be Sneak Attack The spotting system will be placed on a standby basis after its organization has been com pleted, personnel trained, and practice exercises held. In emphasizing the importance of the projected system, Morgan said "If we have another war it will be a sneak attack. If the system is inoperative as much as a half hour, we do not have a defense system." Rush said the observers would act as a supplement to a radar warning net already partially completed. Rush revealed that planes of his command have already flown armed missions, but said the situation "changes from time to time." Wednesday. February 22, 1950 ,-AaL- MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE HYE Seed Allotments 01 Talent Alfalfa Slated Thursday The apportioning committee of the Talent alfalfa growers in the county will meet in the county agent's office Thursday to make allotments of the tag end of 4,220 pounds of the rare seed to local ranchers. It is expected that this may be the last year controlled allotments will have to be made, since the harvest of the next season's crop of seed should be sufficient to make quantities available for any grower who wants it. Last year 3,435 pounds of cer tified seed were distributed to 27 growers here. Developed at the Southern Oregon branch ex periment station to meet local conditions, the first minute quan titles of seed were carefully ra tioned to qualified farmers in 1948. Succeeding season's har vests have made increasing amounts available and have also helped to establish the remark able superiority of the new strain over most other varitles. Small Amounts Tried County Agent W. B. Tucker says small quantities, for trial only, have been sent to county agents and experiment stations in every major alfalfa produc ing district in the country and that the fame of Talent is be coming more and more wide spread. He forecasts a great ex pansion in the growth of Talent alfalfa in southern Oregon for commercial seed purposes. Production of certified Tal ent seed has been reserved ex clusively for local private grow ers. Certain commercial seed firms are reported to have of fered S3 a pound for existing seed stocks so that it could be produced and marketed under a brand name. The offer was de clined and the seed apportioned equitably to ranchers with the ability to produce maximum Salem. Ore..
