with 13,395 for the previous
year and a high of more than
16.000 for 1954.

Alleged Head of
Mafia Seized on
Narcotic Charge
New York (UPI Vito
Genovese, alleged U. S. head
of the underworld Mafia, was
arraigned today on an indict
ment charging he is the "num
ber one control man" in a con
spiracy to import and sell
narcotics. '
Genovese, arrested at his
New Jersey home Monday,
night, was ordered held in
S50.000 baif by Federal Judge
William Herlands.
Also seized was Vincent i
(Chin) Gigante, a 30-year-old
former heavyweight boxer
who was acquitted in May of
the attempted assassination of
gambler Frank Costello.
Other arrests were immi
nent, the government said.
Sealed Indictment
Genovese, 61, a longtime
underworld figure and re
puted head of the U. S. Mafia,
the secret Sicilian society,
and Gigante, a small-time
hoodlum, were seized on the
basis of a sealed indictment
issued Monday by a federal
Grand Jury.
U. S. Attorney Paul W. Wil
liams called the arrest of Gen
ovese "one of the most im
portant arrests ever made in
this field."
"Our investigation discloses
that Genovese was the hub
around which this entire con
spiracy revolved and Gigante
was one of his proteges and a
rising star," Williams said.
Williams referred to the un
veiling last month of a vast
narcotics network with the
arrest of 15 men and 3 women.
This ring, Williams' said, was
responsible for the smuggling
of hudreds of pounds of nar
cotics into the U. S. annually.

The forester cautioned that

He added that large stocks

Declared Higher
During Recession
San Francisco (UPI).
When a family's income
slumps, the amount of candy
it eats goes up, a vice presi
dent of Mars Candy company,
of Chicago, said here Monday
night.
"Past history of consumer
buying habits shows that
when family .; ' purse-strings
are tightened, a larger per
centage of the family food
budget goes for candy," Vic
tor H. Gies, Mars vice presi
dent, told 3,800 candy in
dustryepresentatives at the
National Confectioners' As
sociation convention.
For this reason, Gies said,
the industry believes that "de
spite the recession or per
haps because of it," candy
makers expect 1958 to be a
boom year. He predicted, a
3 per cent increase in candy
production and said' that Am
ericans already are eating an
average of more than 18
pounds of candy each year.
To show the impact of
candy on the economy, Gies
said the industry uses the pro-
j duction of 148,000 dairy cows,
426,000 hens, 512,000 acres of
corn, 262,000 acres of pea
nuts and an astronomical
number of sugar beets and
stalks of sugar cane.
Jurisdiction in
Jackson Will Denied
Portland (UPI) A new
attempt to get the U.S. courts
to take jurisdiction in a dis
pute involving the -will of
Mrs. Maria C. Jackson, wid
ow of the founder of the Ore
gon Journal, has been denied
by Federal District Judge Wil
liam C. Mathias of. Los Ang
eles. Judge Mathias, who heard
the matter while an assign
ment here, ordered dismissal
of an amended complaint fil
ed by Mrs. Jackson's great
grandson, Peter Crockett
Jackson. The opinion was
mailed here. . ' ,
The judge, in a finding on
the original complaint, ruled
the dispute was one for the
Oregon state courts. He dis
missed the original for want
of jurisdiction and ruled that
the amended complaint pre
sented nothing new and was
simply a restatement of the
old contentions.
The complaint contested
the will which left the bulk
of Mrs. Jackson's estate in a
trust to perpetuate the Ore
gon Journal. .-. ; .'
Early Farmers Here
Mostly Stock Raisers
Salem. Are there some1 Proof of continuous family
"Century Farmers" in Jack-
son county?
An 1869 report reveals that
early farmers in this area
mainly raised stock. Stock
dealers from California, Nev
ada and Idaho visited them
every year regularly and
bought up the surplus of all
kinds. They paid cash for it,
giving the farmer a market
at their own door for every
thing that could be driven
away. "
Perhaps some present -day
Jackson county farmers are
finding stockgrowing as pro
fitable as their families did in
the 1850's. If so, they may be
eligible for "Century F.arm"
honors, to be presented at the

Typographical
Officer Ordered
Seattle (UPI) U.S. Dis

has ordered Don Hurd, secretary-treasurer
of the Interna
tional Typographical Union,
to testify July 10 in Colorado
Springs, Colo., in the Scott
Publishing Company's anti
trust action against the ITU

lishers. Previously, Hurd had been
expected to give his deposi
tion here Wednesday, but he
is in the hospital of the Union
Printers' Home at Colorado
Springs and is unable to
travel to Seattle, ITU attor
neys said.
To Be Taken at Hospital
Judge Bowen ordered that
the deposition be taken at
the hospital. The union will
be required to ship several
file cases of union records to
the' hospital. -Hurd will be
questioned about the records.
More than 30 file cases of the
union were shipped here from
union headquarters at Indi
anapolis for examination by
attorneys for Xhe Scott Pub
lishing Co., which publishes
the Tri-City Herald at Kenne

charging the ITU and its cor
porate subsidy, Unitypo Inc.,
the Columbia Basin News of
Pasco, Wash., conspired to ob
tain a daily newspaper mo
nopoly in, the Tri-City area
where the two newspapers
compete. '
The plaintiff recently was
permitted to file a second
amended complaint which in
creased to $2,412,000 the total
judgment asked.
Thousands of pages of testi
mony already have been
taken by depositions in the
suit which is expected to be
tried before a jury this fall.

lier should be submitted to
ing by July 20.
The early histories reveal
that barley made a good crop
in Jackson county, yielding
30 to 50 bushels per acre.
However, the bacon and wool
could be sent to market much
easier than the heavy grain
crops because transportation
was expensive. Facilities for
marketing were confined to
various mining camps in
southern Oregon and north
ern California.
Jackson county had 15,000
acres of land under cultiva
tion in 1869. A woolen mill
was operating at Ashland at j
tne same time, remaps some
descendants of these early
farmers and sheep growers
are still working their inher
ited land today.
Farming land sold for $5
to $10 per acre in the 1860's.
