W. T. Geurts, general mana ger of the Oregon Turkey Grow ers associatiftn, said that peti tions by the two agencies suc cessfully blocked proposed rail shipping rates that would have dropped freight costs from Utan points to Portland by as much as $1.75 to $1.93 per hundred pounds. Smaller Profit Geurts said Oregon growers already had a smaller margin of profit due to greater feed and labor costs than exist in Utah. "That margin of profit would be wiped out if Oregon shippers and processors were called upon to compete with the Utah grow ers in their own geographic area," Geurts said. i Both Commissioner Howard Morgan and Agriculture Direc tor Robert Steward petitioned th Interstate Commerce com mission for a suspension of the proposed rate reductions on grounds they were discrimina tory. The rates were proposed by Union Pacific railroad.

Marion Ross Visits In Valley; Stars In Drive-In Show Marion Ross, personable young actress who is co-starred with Walter Brennan in "God is My Partner," which has its west coast premiere tonight at the Rogue Drive-In, arrived in Med ford Monday night and will make a series of personal ap pearances in southern Oregon.

Today Miss Ross went to Kla math Falls for the day and Thursday she will return to Med ford for a personal appearance at the Rogue Drive-In. The film starring Miss Ross and Brennan is the story of a surgeon who in his later days decides to give away his money to help his fellow men and his church. Two nephews, believ ing only an incompetent would give away his money, in this manner, attempt to restrain him through the courts. Brennan, well known to mo viegoers and a three-time Ac ademy-award winner, gives a moving and warm portrayal of a man who wishes to acknow ledge his God with more than routine attendance at church, with routine monetary contri butions. . ' Miss Ross plays the lole of the surgeon s niece, attractive, young woman attorney who de fends him in court. An exceed ingly capable actress, Miss Ross makes a convincing courtroom appearance; in the role she is an example of that fortunate wom an who "has everything," beau ty, brains and charming femin ity. The film was well received by a group representative of civic and religious leaders in the city who previewed the film last week.
