That is the present prospect as to yields as report ed in the latest edition of the U. S. Department of Agriculture and Oregon State college bulletin "Ore gon Agricultural Situation and Outlook." IIHILE the growers will have more of the winter varieties to sell, they will have more market competition, the bulletin predicts. The reverse will be true in the case of the Bartletts, the early maturing variety which is marketed widely in fresh and proces sed form. This pear is expected to bring, about the same price as last year, possibly somewhat more, from cannery buyers. . The bulletin points out that although there were around 5,400,000 cases of Northwest Bartletts can ned last year one-fifth more than the 1953 pack the crop has been moving into consumers' hands at a satisfactory rate and carryover should not be exces sive when.the new season starts. According to the bulletin some new plantings, es pecially of winter pears, may be warranted in favored areas of Oregon because present orchards appear near peak production while population is increasing and the taste for pears is spreading. CONCERNING other Oregon fruit and nut crops, the bulletin predicts prices will be about the same as in 1954 for apples, prunes, walnuts and strawber ries and possibly a bit lower for cherries, and most caneberries. - In the grain and hay department Oregon farm income was off seven per cent last year, mostly be cause of a $20,000,000 decline in wheat values. Some seed crops brought better prices, the total value be ing higher by almost one-third. For the over-all picture the bulletin estimates Ore gon's production of major crops was worth around $242,000,000 in 1954, down two per cent from 1953 and 15 per cent under the peak year of 1952. E.C.F. More Bad News for Smokers As if the dire warnings that cigarettes may cause lung cancer haven't been enough to take the fun out of smoking, comes now the American Medical asso ciation .with word that there seems to be direct evi dence that cigarettes also cause heart damage. And while they, were on the subject, the medical men stuck a figurative scalpel in the long-held notion that fey drinking whisky a smoker may protect his heart against the bad effects of tobacco. THREE New York doctors are quoted in the A.M.Ai Journal as declaring that laboratory tests snowed cigarette smoking had a definite and; immediate ef fect on the heart action of both normal persons and those with coronary disease.' - - , :, After studying a group of 65 persons the trio con cluded it is unsound medically to permit or advocate the continued use of tobacco in patients with coron ary artery disease and they called on the medical pro fession to recognize "tobacco heart" as a "definite clinical entity, representing . functional disarrange ment of the heart due to nicotine;;" They added that it is "unfortunately" so that whisky "does not nulli fy but actually increases" the adverse effects of to bacco. ; . . TTHE cigarette smoker's hope that should worst come to worst .he could have a cancerous lung ex cized and go on about his business, has also suffered a medical debunking. A recent A.M.A. news release cites researchers as reporting that while much curable tuberculosis can be found through mass chest x-rays, lung cancer is not- so easily detected. Since finding cancer while it is still in the operable stage is the only present hope for survival, the researchers questioned the practicality of single x-rays for finding curable cancer. Even where the presence of lung cancer is ulti mately determined and surgery is resorted to, the chances of survival depend to a great extent on how long the condition has prevailed undetected. THIS week government UUulOt vJ, . mUj Vv v lIUUuvUUlUCl o tstaiitcicu UYC1 LiiC nation, are asking questions about smoking habits. The sample survey, conducted at the request of the U. S. Public Health service, is designed to lead to an estimate of how many Americans smoke, how many are heavy, moderate or light smokers, and how. long they have been at it. . : From the information gained and research to fol low may come additional information on lung diseas es, and if they tie cigarettes to any more ills we may make good on that 40-year-old resolution to quit 'em. ' . E.C.F. Lower Insurance Benefits Women Portland (U.R) Major share of the automobile insurance rate reductions, announced for Ore gon today by 'the National Bu reau of Underwriters, was won by women drivers under 25. " The bureau said private pas senger cars in the state would be covered at rate reductions ranging from 9 to 32 per cent on certain classifications of auto insurance. .. .., Because of the safe driving records established by women under 25, the bureau said major reductions would be within this class. About : one-fourth of the private autos insured by bureau companies would be eligible for the reduction. c , r-. ,. -.: .; The bureau said' that for ex ample . nonbusiness ; cars -. belong Wednesday. February 18, 1955 census takers, knocking on ing to childless married couples, if husband is over 25 and wife under 25, would receive the 32 per cent reduction. But the re duction is only 20 per cent if the car is used for business. : In addition, automobiles driv en by graduates of high school or college: driving schools, who are under 25, would be given a 10 per cent reduction. t, The rate reductions would go into effect today.

McCANN United Press Foreign Aanalyst The policy shift which cost Soviet Premier Georgi M. Ma lenkov his job is beginning to affect the Rus s i a n satellite countries. The Hungar ian Commun ist govern ment was first to announce it would follow the example, of the Kremlin and concen- Charles McCann iue on ueavy industry at the expense of con sumer goods. Now the Czechoslovak govern ment has made the same an nouncement. It is likely that there will be a number of statements within the next few weeks from East ern European capitals, all show ing the impact of the Russian shift on the Communist satel lites. , ' The adjustment of the satel lites to the Kremlin's policy change may include some im portant cabinet shake-ups. It was suggested Tuesday that Hungarian Premier Imre Nagy might lose his job because he was the sponsor of a "new CQurse" policy of increasing the production of consumer goods the Malenkov Policy. Branded a 'Malenkov' Now it is reported that Cech oslovak Premier Viliam Sirosky also may lose out. He, too, is branded as a "Malenkov" man because he happened to be pre mier when the Kremlin embark ed on the consumer goods poli cy. There have been numerous ex Is That So? Although widespread, inhabit ing all continents except Aus tralia, the bear is tremendously maligned. So here goes another Fact vs. Fallacy, this- one on our loveable bear. FALLACY: The bear is a cum bersome, lumbering creature. FACT: True, the bear has a stumbling run because he lifts both right feet fr together, then both left. His loose skin doesn't help his appearance. But despite this, he's extremely fast and agile. v ' Polar bear, brown bear, and grizzly can run 30 miles an hour ' when charging much faster than a human. Besides they are good swimmers. The polar can swim and dive nearly as well as a seal'. But because forelegs are shorter than hind, bears are not good on downhill capers. FALLACY: , Adult bears can not climb trees. ; FACT: It is a comforting fact that adult grizzlies cannot climb trees. But how dOiyou know it's an adult? Also brown bears can climb trees. And all cubs are adept climbers. FALLACY: The young are born formless in an unrecogniz able mass of flesh which the mother licks into shape FACT: The bear's young is born tiny less than a pound hairless and blind, while the mother is napping. Like mothers of most mammals, the she-bear may groom and lick her off spring. This, however, has noth ing to do with licking the young into shape. FALLACY: A sleeping bear gets its nourishment from suck ing its paws. FACT: Bears get their nourish- Emergency Clause on Tax Bill Discussed Salem (U.R) A resolution calling for a constitutional amendment that would remove the prohibition against placing the emergency clause on a tax bill in Oregon was approved by the Senate Taxation Committee yesterday. The vote was 6 to 1 with Sen. Robert Holmes (D-Gearhart) dis senting. Holmes and other op ponents see the measure as pos sibly the first step toward a sales The emergency clause on a tax bill , would allow it to become effective as soon . as signed by the governor... ; Six of every 10 automobiles purchased by Americans during 1953 were to be paid for on the installment plan. planations in Allied countries of the reason for Malenkov's down fall. One thing, however, seems certain: If things had been go ing well in the Soviet Union and the satellite countries there would have been no need for a radical policy shift. , President Eisenhower said at a press conference on the day after Malenkov's resignation: "When any major change of that kind takes place ... it does express dissatisfaction with what has been going on internally." One thing that has been go ing on internally in Russia and the satellite countries is an agricultural crisis. People Hungry Russia's attempt to make a big increase in agricultural produc tion has resulted in failure inso far as production goals are con cerned. There have been serious failures also in Hungary,' Czech oslovakia, Poland, Romania and Eastern Germany. The agricultural problem is a basic one. Failure of the Com munist governments . to grow enough food means that the people are . going hungry, and hunger brings unrest. Reports of food shortages in the satellite countries constant ly reach Vienna, the chief Al lied listening post in Central Europe. There have been some official admissions that the ag ricultural situation is bad in connection with Malenkov's res ignation. Reports of "power struggles" in the leadership of Russia and other Red-ruled countries are al-. ways interesting. But the strug gle of Red leaders to overcome food and other shortages, and to remove the inefficiency that ac companies Communist rule is as important if not as interesting.

FACT: When it gets cold. bears may go into a deep sleep but unlike true hibernators, their temperature does hot drop Radically, their heart beat and breathing keeps up fairly well; and they wake rather easily and are ugly about it. - r - (Released by McClure Newspaper Syndicate) Free: By special arrangement with the editors of the Encyclo pedia Americana, my panel of judges will award each week to the reader who sends me the best, question on nature and wildlife a complete 30-volume set of this world-famous refer ence work in a handsome Seal craft binding.

The cops quoted him as say ing he'd been living FIRST CLASS on some $3,000 he'd ac cumulated from cashing bogus checks in Portland, Eugene and Medford in Oregon and Bakers field and Glendale in California. WELL, from here on out for the rest of his life (unless he mends his ways, which too few easy-money-chasers do) he'll be living SECOND CLASS most of the time in not very comfortable quarters provided by the state. The primrose . path looks glamorous at the start, but it's full of bumps and chuck holes. THE Democrats set July 23 as the date for 'their 1956 con vention to r opehc in Chicago. They'd prefer a" LATER date, their national chairman ex plains,, but some states require certification of the Presidential candidates from 70 to 90 days before the election, which must be held of the' first Tuesday after" the first Monday in No ember. GOP leaders, including Presi dent Eisenhower, have been holding a meeting in ' Washing ton to discuss a date and a place for the 1956 Republican national convention. As; this is written, they have reached no decision. GOP. Chairman Hall says Ike expressed no preference among the cities contending for the convention, but favors a con vention date as late as possible and a short campaign. IETS put it this way: If one has to. go to town and get drunk, a . short drunk , is better than a long one. fYVERSEAS in France, Pierre v Flimlin has thrown in tne sponge and says he can't form a cabinet. So : President Rene Coty has asked Christian Pineau to take a hack at it. Pineau (who's a right-wing Socialist) promises an answer after con ferring with his political asso ciates. DERHAPS it's just as well that Flimlin went into the dis card. He has a name that defies pronunciation by anyone but coo what ...in THE ONLY CANE SUGAR I REFINED IN THE WEST!

We just spell it cut in type (hoping it. won't be botched by a typographical error) and let it go at that. Our blood brothers of the radio, however, are up against a tougher assign ment. k They have to PRO NOUNCE names.' The radio- teletype comes to their aid (as best it can) and offers phonetic assistance on pronunciation. It says " Pierre Flimlin should be pronounced PEE-AIR FLAN-LAN. I suppose :. that's as near as print can . come to it, but it s badly offbeat. FLANG-LANG would be closer, but still off the beam. It's what the French call a "nasal, and it dexies print. In making a stab at it, an Anglo- Saxon says FLANG (with the ng" pronounced as , in "rang"), but the French who hear it shake their heads and look down their noses in embarrassment. . - "Non! Non!" they say. "One says , "ng" as in 1 Anglais, out one keeps the throat open and says it through the nose, comme ca." Then they make a noise that that only a Frenchman can make. , S; ALL in all, I think it s a good thing that Flimlin lost out. In an effort to pronounce his name properly, after the French manner, we might have fallen back .cynically on Flim flam which wouldn t be good for international relations. . -" Pineau is an easy one. His first name is Christian (which involves another of these fabu lous French nasals) but his last name is easy. Just say Pee-Np. THE French have been off on a long political drunk.
