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. .

From Hedy Lamarr
Houston. Tex. 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

elry back in its green leather bag
and into the dressing table.

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.
