Planes Collide On Training Trip; 15 Crewmen Killed Thursday, March 13. 1952 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NUT Repeat Specials at Johnston Stores Deal Allegedly Made To Get Farm Vote for Sen. Tait , Dallas, Tex. U.B Secretary Of Agriculture Charles F. Bran nan charged Thursday that Alan B. Kline, American Farm Bureau Federation president, would" be in line for Brannan's Job if Sen. Robert A. Taf t were elected pres ident. Kline denied it. Brannan told 50th anniversary convention delegates of the Na tional Farmers Union, chief rival of the Farm Bureau, that Kline bad promised Taft the farm vote in the 1952 election. Brannan, who voiced the charge in his address, said the national leadership of one farm "organization" had made a "de termined attempt ... to take the organization they head into a political party, lock, stock and barrel." He called it "a policy of pol itics first, agriculture and the nation second." In Chicago, Kline replied that Brannan's charge of deals was "falsification."

Every year they grow they make money for you. You don't pull up the carrot patch when it is half grown and expect to make any money. You do thin the carrot patch and get bigger carrots and more cash. . Let's talk about your woodlet for just a minute and discu3s some ot the types and kinds of trees grow ing there before we talk about managing your trees. If you have a typical farm wood lot found throughout Washington and Oregon west of the Cascades here's what you'll find: (a) some young seedlings . and saplings, (b some poles about 35 years old, and (c) some saw log trees. Seedlings and saplings: Here is a young forest which has seeded in from close by seed trees. Fire has been kept out There will be about 2500 trees to an acre, 10 to 12 feet tall and 2 inches in diameter. What good is this "brush" you may ask? A sapling stand will yield Christ mas trees, posts and fuel. You may even find some old cedar wind falls or big trees left by early loggers. These are worth money today. . Your poles will be about 35 years old and there will be about 350) trees to an acre. They will range from 6 to 16 inches in diameter and the trees will be TO to 90 feet tail. These trees will produce -fence posts, fuel, pulpwood, occasional poles and piling and small saw logs. Some of your woodlot will have saw log trees. These trees will be about 80 years old, will range from 6 to 30 inches in diameter and will average from 110-150 feet tall. There may be anywhere from 50 to 100 on each acre. The larger trees will be Douglas fir, the shorter ones hemlock and cedar which will grow in the shade of the larger trees. These forests contain many valu able products, and generally ex perienced foresters should be consulted' to get best possible re turn as well as to develop a good harvesting plan. Larger trees will make good saw logs. Best logs will bring premium as peelers. In addi tion you can take off crops of poles, piling, fuel, pulpwood, posts each year and still leave a good, growing stand. N'ext we'll tali about how to keep the goose-trees that lay the golden eggs. (For more particulars write your Stare Forester aft lympia, Washington or Salt-m, Oregon for your frre copy of "YOUR TRKKS A CHOP," how to grow and harvest them in the Douglas fir region.) WOULD LET KIDS SMOKE Greenwich, Conn. (U.R) The board of education is sounding out" parents on the idea of per mitting high school students to smoke on school grounds during stated periods. A member of the board, Leonard S. Clark, said, "In these days when parents per mit smoking it makes it impos sible for us to prohibit it." DRUNK MUFFS BALL Jackson, Tenn. U.R). A drunk, out to satisfy the police man who had let him go on con dition that he run straight home, was under custody moments later. The suspect started run ning, looked back over his shoul der to see if the cop was follow ing and crashed into a store win dow. A brand new A lip smackinq dish iJL wax wi piease 5 mm rosmveiiTne n Y 1 14 New Braunfels, Tex. -U.P Two blind -flying B-29 Super fortresses collided in flight and crashed and exploded on the barren brush country near here. The Air Force said Thursday that all 15 men . aboard were killed. . D. C. McDonald, an eye wit ness to the crash, said one of the B-29s approached the other from the left and rear. It .chewed into the leading plane's fuselage, shearing the tail off. Falls on Back The forward section of the crippled plane, carrying eight men, "fell right down on its back,"- McDonald said, and burst into flames when it hit. "Its tail section floated down a few minutes later," McDonald said. The second plane "main tained its altitude and course for several minutes longer," Mc Donald said, "then . . . went into a steep glide and hit." Explodes on Impact It also exploded on impact, four miles from the spot where the first plane crashed Wednes day. Authorities at Pandolph Air Force base, where the B-29s were based, said both planes had can vas covers over the cockpits as part of the instruction of the students on transition training. Officials could offer no ex planation of why none of the seven men in the second pla"ne parachuted. No radio distress signal was sent out by the plane. England Austerity Reduces Rations; Food Still Cheap London (U.R) England is the home of austerity, and this is what austerity means: Meat, bacon, butter, margar ine, fats, cheese, sugar and tea are rationed. What there is of food is relatively cheap for the English worker, however. The average manufacturing worker makes 165 shillings ($23.10) a week. The average metal worker gets about 179 shil lings ($24.76) and the building trades worker 161 shillings ($22.54). The worker gets one shilling and twopence (about 16 cents) worth of meat each week for himself and the same amount of each member of his family. Meats differ in price but steak, for example, is about two shil lings and eightpence (37 cents) a pound. Not Much Meat That shows how little meat he eats, even when the meat ra tion goes up slightly over two shillings a week, which it does in peak periods. He also gets four ounces three or four slices of bacon a week. Bacon is from two shillings eight-pence (37 cents) to three shillings onepenny (44 cents) a pound. Margarine Cheaper He gets four ounces of mar garine at one shilling twopence (16 cents) a pound; one and a half ounces of cheese at around two shilling (28 cents) a pound, and two ounces of tea at around four shillings (56 cents) a pound. Potatoes are two and a half pence a pound (about three cents). A head of lettuce costs about one shilling (14 cents). Austerity doesn't much affect the night life, sports attendance and movies. Since food is subsi dized and cheap the British fam ily has money left for some entertainment. l vv f. m tkzrv'SM tr ar No other egg noodles taste so good or cook so firm and tender, for Mission Noodles are made from the very finest of Durum Semo lina hard wheat and are extra rich in eggs!
