leaked atomic secrete to Russia.
The slight, bespectacled scien

Airborne Cattle
Sold at Corvallis
Corvallis (U.R) The Cor
vallis airport had Its first live
stock auction Friday when the
Flying Tigers air cargo service
unloaded a consignment of 100
two-month-old Holstein heifers
for Willamette valley buyers.
Auctioneer Earl Gillespie, who
purchased the airborne cargo at
Watertown, Wis., for $3,000, had
planned to auction the calves to
dairymen at his Corvallis auc-
tion yard. But bad weather de
layed the flight so long that he
allowed the eager farmers to bid
on the animals as they were un
loaded at the airport.
He plans to import another
C-46-load of heifers next week
He said he purchased them in
Wisconsin because of the tre-
mendous demand here for hea
vier breeds of dairy cattle, and
to get animals that will produce
milk testing more in line with
the 3.5 per cent butterfat content
of the milk sold here.

arrived, Weinberg was arrested
Friday and taken before U. S.

warrant existed was sufficient to
arrest Weinberg.
Sheriff, Deputies Face
Charges of Misconduct
Everett (U.R) Sheriff Tom
Warnock and three of his depu
ties were charged in Superior
Court Saturday with "conspir
acy and misconduct" after being
accused of working prisoners on
their farms without court permission.
Charged with Warnock were
Undersheriff Earl Weaver and
Deputies Lewis Flanagan and
Charles Hudson.
The complaint, filed by Prose
cutor Phil Sheridan, accused the
four of working prisoners for
"personal and private benefit,"
which Sheridan said violated the
law. They also were accused of
permitting prisoners to leave
the jail in violation of court or
ders.
Uncontrolled Items
Keep Living Costs
On Upward Trend
Washington (U.R) Despite
price controls, the government's
cost-of-living Index keeps edging
upward because of certain un
controlled items in the economy.
federal economists said Satur
day.
Experts of the Bureau of La
bor Statistics said the substan
tial upward pressure on the con
sumer price index, comes from
little-noticed items like recrea
tion, transportation, and person
al and medical care.
"Built-in" Pressures
These Items, classified as "mis
cellaneous," give the index a
"built-in" inflationary pressure,
economists said. Coupled with
anticipated higher food prices
the experts said, they should
result in an increasing cost of
living this year.
As of April 15, the index had
climbed nearly four points in
the past year to put it at 188.7
per cent of the 1935-39 average.
Food prices and the "miscellan
eous" items were largely re
sponsible for the rise.
Draw Up Living Cost
Food and "miscellaneous" it
ems each account for about a
third of the dollar in drawing
up the cost-of-living yardstick
The remaining third is divid
ed among rent, 11 per cent, clo
thing 12 per cent, house furnish
ings 6 per cent and fuel, elec
tricity and refrigeration a total
of 3.4 per cent.

Crookham is a member of the
