TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, April I, 1335 ) They'll Do It Every Time Byjimmy'ado Ttal about v .9 U LIKETHEgR So ommjs t"" 2 Department of Agriculture Opposes, Oregonians Seek, 'Two-Price' Plan for Wheat , Washington (li.R) A spokes man for the Department of Agri culture said it is opposed to a "two-price" plan for wheat, and that goes for any interpretation of it as a "three-price' plan. "We oppose the two-price plan now before Congress," the spokesman said. "We understand the so-called three-price plan is just another name for the two- price plan." ' The American Farm Bureau Federation opposes the two price plan which is sponsored by the National Grange. The farm bureau says that the two price plan actually wouid mean three prices. Under the two-price plan, v. heat farmers would be guaran teed higher prices for their crops which go for domestic con sumption as food. They' would get the lower world market price for their wheat exports. The farm bureau argues that such a plan actually would mean separate prices for domes tic food consumption, export, and livestock feed. The live stock feed apparently would not be supported at world market prices. WOULD PROTECT INCOME Washington (U.P.) Two east ern Oregon wheat growers told a group of congressmen and senators here that the two-price program for wheat would give greater freedom to Pacific North west farmers and at the same time protect farm income. . i Marion Weatherford of Arling ton, chairman of the Oregon Wheat commission, and Jack Smith of Condon, special repre sentative of the National As sociation of Wheat Growers, at tended a breakfast and social get-together as guests of Rep. Sam Coon and Sen. Richard L. Neuberger. Some 30 congress men attended, and Sen. Neuber ger invited members of the Sen ate Agriculture committee. Seek Parity Price Weatherford told the, group that a price of parity on wheat consumed domestically for food would be necessary under the two-price plan in order for farm ers to be able to buy supplies and equipment at pricr-s which would support the American standard of living. He said parity support on do mestic human consumption would add little if any addi-' tional cost to the price of bi ead. He said some controls would be necessary for the first few years of the program to aid in elimi nation of grain surpluses and to prevent breaking the world market price of wheat. "Jack Smith and Marion Wea therford have done a first rate job of educating today," said Coon. "There is increasing in terest in the domestic parity program here in Washington, and clear answers like these to the questions that are raised will gain valuable support for the program." House Rejects Gag Proposal; Studies Two Tax Proposals Salem '(U.P.) There was no limit on debate today as the House went into session to wran gle over its two most crucial pieces of legislation a new in come tax law and a cigarette tax. The House yesterday refused to submit to a gag rule and turn ed down 23 to 27 a proposed rule that would have clamped limits on the time each member could talk on a bill. Members gave approval to a Senate-passed bill to permit the state to make United Fund de ductions from state pay checks. There were 14 dissenting votes. Also passed in an afternoon session were bills exempting church parking lots from taxa tion provided they are used ex clusively by churchgoers with out charge, and a bill setting a minimum salary of $7000 for dis trict court judges. Salem U.R) The House passed and sent to the Senate yesterday a bill reducing from $35 to $10 the fee for non-resident hunting licenses for per sons who come from states that give similar advantages to Oregonians. Only 30 Donors Signed for Blood Only about 30 blood donors have made appointments to give blood when the mobile unit visits here next Wednesday, it was reported today.

'True Cash Value' Defining Measure Amended in Senate Salem U.R) A measure de fining true cash value of prop erty, already approved by the House, has been amended in the Senate Assessment and Taxation committee to put it into effect Jan. 1, 1961. Sen. Rudie Wilhelm (R .-Portland) chairman of the commit tee, said today ferhis decision was reached so that' taxpayers would have no immediate fears or mis understanding of the act, which would define true cash value as market value as of the effective assessment date. Sen. Wilhelm stressed that the reappraisal does not mean more taxes but a uniform distri bution of the burden of taxation. With respect to property which has no immediate market value, its true cash value, under terms of the bill, would be the amount of money that would justly compensate the owner for the loss of the property. The measure, House bill 40, is considered the key to a so-called tax package recommended by the legislative interim tax study committee. Other measures, al ready approved by the House, we're passed by the Senate yes terday. They relate to the appraisal of timber and timberlands, apprai sal of industrial properties, agreements between the various county assessors and the state tax commission, and assessment of personal property on an op tion by the owner on an annual or monthly average basis. These are not among the ma jor revenue-raising measures, such as the proposed increase in income tax and a tax on cigarettes. Knowland Hopes For Less 'Snafu' Washington (U.PJ Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland said today the admin istration should explain the re cent "leak" of the Yalta papers to avoid a similar "snafu in the future." As We Live By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. Real Interest In Others Cures Self-Consciousness Some people suffer so from self -consciousness that they make themselves and everyone with whom they come in con tact embarrassed and unhappy. (Q) "My problem is that I am very self-conscious, and I don't know why. I'm not re pulsive, nor have I two heads or anything like that. I'm of ' average height and weight and wear fairly nice clothes. I'm just afraid people will not like me or that they'll think I'm stupid. I'm also afraid that if I say 'Hi' they',11 think I'm dumb or just ignore me. Some kids are pretty snobby. Don't get me wrong though. I do have several good friends. Please tell me how I can stop being self-conscious. It makes me miserable." (A) The only way to stop be ing self-conscious is to stop be ing "self-bound.? Stop thinking about yourself so much and think more of others. -This is easier said than done, I know, but it can be done. First of all, try to find out why you are afraid people won't like you. Has anyone actually. treated you mat way or are you just borrowing trouble? j . Second, ask your good friends to tell you just what your weak nesses are, and what Dr. Huxtock . m a K e s peo ple ignore you or dislike you, if they do. Your friends know you well enough to be able to tell you what, if anything, is the matter. Then, finally, build up your self-confidence. Start by improv ing your looks. You may be aver age in looks, but try to be above average. Good clothes and good grooming do a lot. After improving your looks, concentrate on your manners. Learn to be polite and gracious. This will make you confident that you can' meet any social sit uation successfully and will do more than anything else to help conquer your self-consciousness.

William G. Webber Wednes day in a talk to Medford Ki wanians during their luncheon at Rogue Valley Country club. Mr. Webber is a missionary for the American Baptist Home Mission society at Keams Can yon, Ariz. He spoke of the Indians as be ing in a precarious way spirit ually and emotionally and said that is where the church comes into the picture. - Among the Navajo's, Webber said, there are 25,000 school age children this year but only 6,000 are in school. He reported that the government has begun a pro gram to educate Indians. How ever, he pointed out that federal programs for the Navajos has "not tended to lift the level of the average man." Describes Indians The minister described the Navajos as semi-nomadic people and declared that their country was beautiful to see but hard to make a living in. Telling of some of the difficulties in min istering to the Indians, he term ed them a suspicious and eva sive people. He said there are no roads in the reservation area "in the sense we know them." There are wagon tracks or no roads at all, he stated. Webber also mentioned the need for knowledge of sanitation among the Navajos. City Police Sergeant C. W. Lacy and Dr. John Bullock were introduced as new Kiwanis members. Knowland joined with other members of the Senate Foreign Relations committee Thursday in unanimously demanding an ex planation from Secretary of Slate John Foster Dulles. Dul les will testify at a closed com mittee meeting after the Easter recess. Snafu, a slang word used in the armed services during World War II, almost means "Situation Normal, All Fouled Up." Knowland told report eis he expects papers on' other World War II conferences Quebec, Teheran and Potsdam to be released later. And he said he hopes they will be made public in an orderly, . normal - way through release to all news ser vices and newspapers at the same time; Annual High School Concert Tonight The program for Medford high school's annual Spring concert, scheduled for 8 p.m. today at the high school auditorium, was announced this morning by I.
