In The Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Wheat surplus note: The 1955 wheat harvest in the state of Washington is just round the corner. Storage facili ties are being readied to make room for the crop. Where is it going? Well, Liberty ships are being towed from Suisum Bay (a part of San Francisco bay) to Puget Sound. They will be filled with 1955 wheat and added to the fleet of 43 ships already moored in Budd's Inlet, near Olympia. These 43 ships, contain 9Vi mil lion bushels of wheat, which was carried over from previous harvests. AN THE face of it, it looks like " there isn't room enough ON LAND in the state of Washing ton to store the surplus wheat that is being grown there. So they have to store it on the water. IIOW IS it in the state of Ore " gon? The situation here isn't quite so bad. It is true there is a moth ball fleet of ships in the harbor at Astoria, and a lot of these ships are full of wheat already, and more will be added to them when the 1955 harvest comes in. But the Commodity Credit Corporation, which buys up the surplus wheat with taxpayer money, has just arranged for an old blimp hangar at Tillamook. This will be filled with wheat as the harvest proceeds There is a little land left in Oregon, you see, on which sur plus wheat can be stored. THE "LIBERALS" in congress (with a weather eye on the farm vote in 1956) are hot for doing away with the sliding parity system and restoring the system of rigid, high parity for wheat and the other "basic" crops nearly all of which are in heavy surplus condition. What will they do when all the land available for storage of surplus crops runs out? Do you reckon they will be willing to move out of the house and senate chambers in the Capitol building in the city of Washington so as to permit wheat to be stored there? Klamath Fails To Host League of Cities Meet Klamath Falls (LLP.) Kla math Falls will host a regional meeting of the League of Ore gon Cities June 1. The meeting will feature a report on 1955 state legislation of interest to cities delivered by former May or Diamond Flynn of Medford. IT IS just possible that such a contingency is anticipated. At any rate, the National Planning Association came through the other day with a proposal to GET RID of the growing farm surpluses by using them to "help underdeveloped countries and thus promote peace and prosperity." Here are some of the ways the association says American farm surpluses could be used abroad by giving them a'.vay for: 1. Free school lunch programs. 2. Free industrial plant lunch programs. 3. Free food programs in hos pitals and maternal and child care centers. 4. Free stamp plans for food for low-income groups. 5. Free food programs for the armed forces of other nations (maybe including Russia.) 1 SUPPOSE it might work. You can give almost anything away. But I can't help wondering how long the American taxpayer would stand for it. He has been patient and long-suffering, it is true. But there are limits be yond which even the American taxpayer might not go. The taxpayers, it might be well forthe "liberal" politicians to note, constitute a rather nu merous voting group. .

OJ.R) Hedy Lamarr reported to police that I S50.000 worth of her' jewelry was stolen from her home yes-1 terday. Miss Lamarr and her husband, Houston oilman W. Howard Lee, made the report to police. Lee said they had not reported it earlier because "we thought it must be around the house some where." They said they made a thor ough search of the entire house before they called police.' Miss Lamarr said she and her maid, Elizabeth Bradford, 49, took the jewelry from a dress ing table about 3 p.m. yesterday and cleaned it with diamond cleaner. Then they put the jew elry back in its green leather bag and into the dressing table. Thursday, May 28; 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBTfHB IYS Sen. Morse Joins In Fair Procedure Bill Sponsorship By SENATOR WAYNE MORSE Washington ((Special) This week I once again joined with Senator Kefauver, Senator Leh man, Senator Douglas and others in re-introducing our resolution for a code of fair committee pro cedures. Our bill combines the major features of the Morse Lehman code introduced in early 1953 and other proposals to guarantee fair play to witnesses before Senate committees and those whose reputations come into question in the course of such hearings and investigations. There was a great deal of in terest in these proposals in the last Congress when Senator Mc Carthy's , committee practices were filling the front pages. At that time I urged the adoption of the mandatory code of fair practice in committee investiga tions, but action was prevented by the Republican policy com mittee which favored an ad visory system. Cites Continuing Need It is unfortunate that legisla tion such as this tends to be con sidered only when some emer gency situation arises. Yet there is a continuing need for a code of procedure in line with the Bill of Rights of the Constitu tion. I shall continue to work for the enactment of this code with the co-sponsors of our reso lution. It would eliminate one man investigations, require ad vance notice of charges of im proper activity, provide reason able time for testimony on be half of the accused and for rea sonable cross examinatinn of ad verse witnesses. Our code would also give the absolute right to be represented by an attorney at investigations, which is generally recognized as a basic right of a free citizen. Legislation of this type deserves consideration despite the decline of McCarthyism. The enormous power of investigating commit tees is subject to abuse and the possibility of abuse can and should be minimized by a code of this sort.
