Watch for Effects . .
Since the repeal of the milk
control law at 'the Nov. 2 elec
tion, milk producers have been
watching carefully to see what
the effect would be on the price
structure of milk. Generally,
producers' prices have remained
unchanged. Any new statewide
organization presumably would
have the objective of maintain
ing the present price level to
the producers.
The Jackson County Milk Pro
ducers League and the Klamath
Basin Grade A producers will
be host groups for the dinner
meeting', which will, be at 8 p.m.
at the Jackson hotel.
Producers organizations in
Coos Bay, Tillamook, Corvallis,
Roseburg, Eugene, Grants Pass,
Lakeview, Bend, Klamath Falls
and Jackson county will be
represented.

The meeting, held at the Roxy
Ann Grange, was one of the
best attended meetings of the
league ever , held here. There
are 72 members altogether.
Retail Prices Down
Milk prices at the retail level
dropped one cent recently, fol
lowing the Nov. 2 general elec
tion at which the voters re
pealed Oregon's milk control
law which empowered the Milk
Marketing administration to set
minimum prices.
The action of the producers
last night means that the retail

unable to accept prices for milk

Patterson Says
Legislature Faces
Major Budget Task
Two Choices Available,
Governor Declares
Portland U.R) Gov. Paul L.
Patterson said . today the next
Legislature faces a major prob
lem to find money for the state
budget of more Jhan $200,000,
000 for the next biennium.
Patterson told the Associa
tion , of Oregon Counties there
were two . choices. "We must
either chop off some of the serv
ices given to the people or dig
up the money from somewhere
to finance them. It is my belief
the services should not be aban
doned without serious thought
of the consequences."
May Hand Bill To People
He added the state may "hand
the bill to the people" and let
them decide if they wish to pay
the cost of ; these government
services.
The governor said if President
E i s e nhower's $50,000,000,000
highway building program is
adopted , by Congress "we can
expect very great road activity
in Oregon." Under the proposed
program, he said, the federal
government would pay 62 per
cent and the state 38 per cent of
the cost of improving Oregon's
major highways 99, 30 and 20.
He said Oregon would be given
credit where it has' built im
proved, stretches on Highways 99
and 30 since World War II.

Seattle. Wash. (U.R) An
American freighter with a era t Ic
ed hull bobbed in rough seas
today in the path of a new storm
while a Canadian weathership
stood by to watch over the
stricken vessel.
Winds of about 40 miles ner
hour were buffeting the Pope

Fa rm B u rea u Spea ke r
Wa rns Dai r y Industry
Of Coming
A high ranking American
Farm Bureau federation official
yesterday forecast a revolution
in the dairy industry and called
on dairymen to develop better
public relations ' in marketing
their products.
E. W. Tiedeman. Chicago, AF-
BF dairy department director,
addressing tne dairy department
conference at the Oregon Farm
Bureau federation's 23rd annual
convention here, declared that
the milk industry is going to be
revolutionized within the next
10 years and that milk products,
and even milk itself, will be
"taken over" by substitutes. ,
Advises Belter Relations
Dairymen might as well face
this fact and start marketing
their products with a program of
better advertising and better re
lations with the public, Tiede
man told the commodity meeting.
He appealed to dairymen, also, to
he more resDonsible to them
selves rather than going to fed
eral or state governments tor
Tiedeman also suggested that
dairymen continue to approach
narent-teacher-' associations ana
school officials to use more muK
in their school lunch programs
He pointed to an additional $50,-
000,000 which has been ap
propriated federally for an ac
celerated school milk program.
Farm Bureau women in a sepa
rate session yesterday placed on
their suggested working program
for the coming year a project
to seek the placing of more milk
vending machines in schools.
Opinion Divided
Oregon's milk marketing sit
uation met with calm discussion
but divided opinion in the dairy
commodity Session. Delegates ap
pealed from the floor for the
OFBF to enter more vigorously
intn the marketing picture. Art
Ireland, Hillsboro, representative
of the Oregon Milk Producers
association, asserted that a fed
eral marketing order would be
better at the present time than
another state law. He said that
a state law would invite shipping
in of more outside milk. eie
eates were divided on whether
a federal order or state law
should be adopted and no action
was taken -
Livestock, field crops and fruit
arid vegetable departments of the
state federation also nad tneir
sessions yesterday. In them op-
porifion was voiced ! to the
weight-distance tax as it applies
to livestock trucks, and to the
new social security law making
farm employees income over
$100 reportable. Need to over
haul the wheat grading system
was exm-essed. brand inspection
and wheat price differential stu
dies were proposed and con
tinued OFBF endorsement of
filbert import quotas were sug
gested. . , " I
Tax Said Unjust
Livestock delegates termed
"untust" the tax load carried by
stock trucks under the weight
carrying a pay load or traveling
emotv. The department voted to
ask the OFBF board of direc
tors to have a special committee
study costs ' and reservations ol
the brand inspection program.
Ralph McEwen, Pendleton,
representative of the Oregon
Wheat league, told the field
crops department that the entire
system of grading wheat needs
to be overhauled. At present, he
said there is no incentive under
the federal support program to
grow good quality Overhaul, he
stated, would give the consumer
a better product and the farmer
a better reward.
Talks Livestock Values
W. E. Carlson Salem, of the
state tax commission, discussed
with the livestock and dairy de
partments the true value of live
stock in connection with per
sonal property : taxation. . lie
noted that the animals have been
decreasing in value and asked
Revolution
OFBF aid in getting a true pic
ture. Both groups named com
mittees to investigate.
The livestock group voted
neither to indorce nor reject a
proposed program of compulsory
meat inspection in Oregon. '
Field crops delegates indorsed
an OFBF move to investigate
means of improving small seed
marketing. ;
Discussion of a Deschutes
county move for termination or
revision of a potato marketing
agreement in its area was halted
in the fruit and vegetable com
mittee when Robert H. Eaton,
Portland, U. S. department of
agriculijire official, said that a
statewide referendum is planned.
In regard to diverted lands in
the federal farm program, fruit
and vegetable delegates recom
mended that vegetables which
are contracted in advance for
processing should not be in
cluded in the acreage used to es
tablish a base for acreage allot
ment. The same committee saw
samples shown by D. G. Sorber,
of the USDA research labora
tory, Albany, Calif., of "deny-dro-frozen"
' fruits and vegeta
bles. Dehydro-frozen foods are
being viewed by the entire pro
essing industry as a means of
marketing farm products, it was
said. s

Plan Would Meet
Arguments About
Future Probes
McCarthy Hospitalized '
for Treatment of Elbow
' Washington (U.R) Th;
Senate was advised today that.
' Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy's
ailing elbow will keep him in ,
the hospital until Nov. 29.
Republican Leader William F.
; Knowland promptly moved to ;
recess the McCarthy censure
debate until that data.
Washington U.H Sen,
Edwin C. Johnson (D-Colo.), to
day proposed a change in th
censure resolution against Sen,
Joseph R. McCarthy to meet ar
guments that a rebuke would .
dampen future congressional in
vestigations of Communism.
Johnson," a member of . t h e
special committee which recom
mended censure of McCarthy on
two counts, offered the. amend
ment as Senate Republican lead-'
ers canvassed . sentiment on
whether: to suspend 'debate on
the censure . case pending Mo
Carthy's return. ,
. McCarthy entered the Bethes
da, Md., Naval hospital yester
day for treatment of an injur
ed elbow. Authorities -said ha
may be there several days.
Communist Conspiracy -:
The Johnson a me ndment'
states that it is "the sense of the
Senate" that the Communist
party of the United' States i
"not a domestic political party
in the traditional sense" but is
part of an international conspir
acy. , f :;
This conspiracy poses a "dead
ly menace to the United States,
the amendment says, and . "ap
proximate committees" should
continue to "diligently investi
gate, expose and combat" the
conspiracy and members of it .
McCarthy's supporters have
argued that the censure move
ment grew out of a Communist
instigated ' fight , against Mc
Carthy and that censuring turn
would discourage future invest
igations of Communism.
High Fever Reported
Before offering his amend
ment, Johnson said that he had
intended to make a statement
today on the censure recommen
dations, but had been informed
that McCarthy is "quite ill."
Amplifying his statement that
McCarthy was "quite ill" John
son told newsmen he understood
from Sen. Styles Bridges (R
N.H.), that the infection in Mc
Carthy's elbow ' had spread in
the senator's blood stream causing-
a high fever. The office of
the officer of the day at the
Naval hospital reported simply
that "Sen. McCarthy had a quiet
night and is resting . comfort
ably. There are no other devel
opments."
Senate leaders were disposed
to call a temporary halt to the
debate if they encountered any
objection in continuing in Mc
Carthy's absence. ' ' '
Union Resolution
Protests 'Giveaways'
Portland (U.R) The executive
board of the International Wood
workers of America (CIO), at the
conclusion of a two-day meeting
here, last night adopted a resolu
tion, opposing what it termed
"giveaway of our national forests
and parks proposed by the Eis
enhower administration."
The resolution said in part,
"we believe that the acquisition
of the national forests by private
timber monopolies will accel
erate the 'cut-out and get-out
trend in forest . management.
It said, "we know private owners
will prohibit or restrict hunting
and fishing if they acquire title
to our national forests." ..
