Farmers Suffer Sales Cutback For Second Year Washington. Mar. 3 (U.R) For the second straight year, farmers have suffered a 10 per cent cutback in crop sales dur ing January and February. The agriculture department estimated today that cash re ceipts from farm marketing to taled $3,700,000,000 during those two months. If this 10 per cent disparity continues throughout the year, net farm income may drop even more, perhaps as much as 15 per cent, since farm production costs are expected to stay relatively high. If it does, the total would be about $11,740,000,000, the small est in eight years and 34 per cent below the 1947 record. Some Hit Harder Some states are being hit hard er than others in the overall cut hnrlt. Cash receipts from farm marketings in North Dakota last year dropped 32 per cent. On the other hand, cash receipts for those In Florida rose 19 per cent. Cash receipts from farm mar ketings in 1949 for the top 20 farm states, and the percentage increase or decrease, were esti mated by the department today as follows in these states: California, $4,206,815,000, down six; Kansas, $933,578,000, down 17, and Washington, $505, 867,000, down 11.

TWELVE MEDFOHD (OHEGOW) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. March 3, 1950 Fear of Arctic Gives Way To Deep Respect Following Peacetime Military Tests By Charles Corddry United Press Aviation Writer Washington. Mar. 3 (U -R) - Fear of the arctic has- given way to something more like deep re spect after the stiffest peacetime military tests ever staged in the north. ,. . Generals of both the united States and Canada know now that their troops can tive, worn and fight for extended periods in temperatures ranging down to 40 below rero in some of the most rugged country anywhere. But they also have learned that improved tactics and the toughest indoctrination that can ba devised are essenuai to suc cessful combat operations in the vast reaches of Alaska and northwest Canada. Value Damonttrated The value of special training both for survival in extreme cold enrl fnr arctic combat was dem onstrated vividly in the recently compieieu escitiacBwcciunBi. Troops of the U. S. 14th regi mental combat team, Camp Car son. Col., and the Princess Pa tricia's Canadian light infantry were out-maneuvered on several occasions by the "aggressor" force from the U. S. 4th infantry, stationed in Alaska. Yet the "aggressor" always was outnum bered. . The 4lh infantry troops ap- fieared in excellent condition at he end of the war games, despite the fact that some had been in the field since late January and had encountered lower tempera tures than the "allied" force. In some spots their thermometers registered 60 below. Chief. Convinced While the manuovers showed that combat can be conducted in the arctic, commanders of both Canadian and American forces were convinced that only small units, probably of battalion or regimental siie are likely to be engaged. Summing up, U. S. Brig. Gen. George C. Stewart, Sweetbrlar field commander, said: 1. With air superiority, troops can be moved over the Alcan highway the year round. Without it, they probably cannot move at all. Not Limiting Factor 2. Supply is not a limiting factor. What will govern com bat operations in the Arctic is the number of troops that can be deployed. He thought eombnt teams of 5,000 men would be ideal units. 3. More than the usual com plement of maintenance would be required to prevent a break down of transport. Murder And Suicide Reported At Newport Newport, Ore., Mar. 3 U R Sheriff Tim Whelp snid today that Ernest Murray. 30, killed his wife, Marian. 41, and then rommitted suicide at their Nye Bench home late yesterday.

Soldiers fighting in the Arctic should be pulled out of combat frequently for rest and recreation in heated buildings. West Germany Said . Infiltrated With Reds Frankfurt, Germany, Mar. 3 (U.R) Lt. Gen. Clarence R. Hueb ner, commander of U. S. army troops in Europe, said today that western Germany is "honey combed with communist agents." Huebner's assertion followed a recent disclosure that important documents had disappeared from homes of army officers, and the arrest here of a 22-year-old So viet national suspected of being a "confusion agent." A flurry of public spy talk also was stimulated by a report that a training program would bring American troops and certain key civilians here up to date on the radioactivity which follows atomic explosions. Huebner declined to go beyond his bare statement. But confi dential informants reported that every person dealing here in im Dortant information was subject to a screen of "confusion agents." They were described as having tne mission oi creating suspicion to draw army countcr-intell.i-gents away from the real spy. Oregon Farm Market Receipts In Decline i " Portland. Ore.. Mar. 3 U.R) Oregon farm market receipts showed the first annual decline i in 12 years during 1949. the U.S. ! department of agriculture noted today. The 1949 receipts more than trebled pre-war receipts, but they were 13 per cent below the 1948 record. Farm crop receipts showed a 15 per cent decrease, while receipts for livestock dropped 12 per cent. On a national level, fewer people were on farms than a year ago and wages had dropped about two per cent, the report snid. Russia Not Planning War Of Aggression, Sen. O'Mahoney Says uenver. Colo., Mar. 3 (U.R) Russia has "no Idea of waging aggressive war against the United States," Sen. Joseph C. O'Mnhoney, (D Wyo.) snid to day. , O'Mahoney, chairman of the jenate committee on Interior and insular affairs, sold the com munists are "counting on a de pression to create conditions which would make it ensv for i them to tnke over the world 1 without a struggle." As a means of combatting a de pression, O'Mahoney recom- mended a system, slmilnr to thai ; used by the federal deposit in- i surance corporation, which i would guarantee agnin.-t failure of little businesses.
