EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Fridtr. AprQ 19, 1935 Neuberger Urges Wheat Program Washington (U.PJ Sen. Rich ard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) has urged adoption of a two-price support program lor wheat. He said it would "help relieve the crisis" in wheat and end ac cumulation of government iur plusses. Neuberger said the two-price program "May not be perfect" but it is better than the admin istration's "insistence on the economic wringer of flexible price supports, which promote a kind of agricultural survival of the fittest by putting numerous farm families on the edge of bankruptcy." In a speech prepared for de livery in the Senate, Neuberger said the two-price system would have the advantages of returning the sale of wheat to the open market, lowering market prices and thus increasing exports and use of wheat, and guaranteed farmers full parity on that part of their crop which goes into domestic human consumption. Under the two-price plan, farmers would sell all their wheat on the open market. Each farmer would be allocated his share of the domestic wheat market and receive certificates for that share worth the differ ence between the market price and 100 per cent of the parity price for wheat. i As early as 1912 motor driven fire apparatus began to displace fire horses in San Francisco. t -jr A . 1st - 'ill SEVEN BRAVE LADIES Seven wo who will be in a trench 10,500 feet from "ground zero" during "Operation Cue" show how they will kneel in a trench during the actual atomic blast at the Nevada test site.

A LONG SKI Concord, N.H. (U.R) New Hampshire's ski tows and lifts, laid end to end, would reach more than 20 miles. The state's planning and development com mission says theoretically the combined lifts and tows could carry 50,000 skiers an hour to the summit of Mr. McKinley, the highest mountain in North America. - Maximum Penally Given For Bad Check . Klamath Falls (U.R) James Samuel Sweeney, 36-year-old former Prescott, Ariz., police man who insisted on a jury trial so the state would have to con vict him the "hard way" on a bogus check charge has been sentenced the hard way. Circuit Judge David R. Van- denberg imposed the maximum penalty of five years in the state penitentiary. Although admitting he had no defense, Sweeney told District Attorney Frank Alderson he would not plead guilty and that he intended to take advantage of his constitutional rights. The Rare Blood Flown To Save Baby Redwood City, Calif. (U.R) Two pints of an extremely rare blood type, donated by two Cree Indian sisters, have been flown by jet plane from Canada to re place the entire blood supply of a baby due to be born here next week. The blood, so rare that only 25 persons in the world are known to have it, will be used, to save the life' of the baby of Mrs. Nadine Robertson, 29-year-old wife of a , Belmont, Calif., plumbing superintendent. Mrs. Robertson expects to en ter the Sequoia Hospital here May 7 for a caesarian section birth. The baby's entire blood supply will be drained immedi ately after birth and then re placed with the new blood. The mother has positive "O" type blood and her husband, Al bert, has negative "O" type. In addition, the grandparents of the child on both sides of the family had opposing RH factors in their blood. Doctors said, therefore, there was a conflict in the "sub. sub RH factor" that would cost the child's life unless the blood change was made. jury that convicted him last Monday deliberated only 18 minutes. The charge" grew out of a $45 bogus check written here earlier this year which was drawn on a San Antonio, Tex., bank. The state had to call the executive vice president of the bank to testify.
