Optimism Seen
On Farm Income
In State in '58
Corvallis 'TP A mildiy
optimistic forecast of farm in
come for Oregon was made
here today by Marion D.
Thomas, extension agricultur
al economist at Oregon State
College.
He said farm income in the
state has gained a little in
each of the past three years,
and has a fairly good chance
of moving up again in the
year ahead.
But Thomas warned that
Oregon is almost certain to
see a larger production and
lower prices for its number
one cash-producing farm crop
wheat. Fall plantings in the
state were up 13 per cent over
a year earlier. Prices for hay
crops may be up the coming
year, particularly if mouse
damage is as great as now
feared.
Thomas said cattle prices in
the state held high at the enc
of the year, but "it is doubt
ful if they will stay at . that
level through. 1958."
In other agricultural areas,
Thomas predicted: Poultry
men should have a better
year; dairy returns probably
will be about the same; fruits
and vegetables should recover
part of the ground lost during
the past year; potatoes now
in storage should enjoy steady-to-rising,
prices.

Army sources said some of
Gavin's trouble may have
stemmed from the fact that
he rose rapidly in the ranks.
He was a two-star major gen
eral in command of the 82nd
Airborne Division in World
War II when he was 37. He
is idolizecl by junior officers
but not necessarily by his su
periors, the sources said.
Wants Boost in Funds
Gavin wants a boost in
Army funds to aid his Re
search and Development com
mand and to increase the
Army to 28 divisions, almost
twice its present size.
In other defense develop
ments: Senate Democratic Lead
er Lyndon B. Johnson, pre
paredness chairman, declared
"50,000 airplanes produced a
year before Pearl Harbor sav
ed our necks ... a thousand
missiles produced in the com
ing year may save our lives."
Chairman Melvin Price
(D-Ill.), of the congressional
atomic energy research and
development subcommit
tee charged "senseless" Navy
Air Force rivalry may allow
Russia to win the race to put
an atom-powered airplane in
to flight. He urged giving the
Air Force a green light with
out waiting for a Navy study.
Defense Secretary Neil
M. McElroy appeared before
the House military appropria
tions subcommittee to explain
President Eisenhower's $1,

lowest for the state, being
about 84 per cent of normal.
Inflow to upper Klamath lake
