Price Drop, Cost Rise News
Jolts GOP Farm Belt Hopes
Washington -(U?D- Republi
can candidates in the politically-sensitive
farm belt were
jolted yesterday by an agri
culture department report
that farm prices dropped 2.3
per cent in the month ending
Oct. 15.
The report, released late
Friday, also' said farm pro
duction costs rose to a record
high in the month. The agen
cy's monthly price report was
issued only three days before
voters troop to the polls in
Tuesday's congressional elec
tions. Assistant Secretary of Agri
culture Marvin L. McLain
said the farm price decline
was "primarily seasonal." He
pointed out that prices re
ceived by farmers in mid-October
were five per cent high
er than a year earlier and that
farm prices have been higher
than last year during each
montji of 1958. He said the
lower prices occurred mainly
in commodities which are in
seasonally large supply.
McClain commented on the
report in the absence of Sec
retary of Agriculture Ezra
Benson who was in Fresno,
Calif., for a campaign speech.
Benson has said he expects
the Republicans to hold all
their farm state seats and per
haps pick up some new ones.
The department said a
heavy volume of new crop
grapefruit and oranges mov
ing to market was chiefly re
sponsible for the sharp drop in
Porter Reports
Trujillo Official
Has Been Sacked
Eugene -(UPD-Rep. Charles
O. Porter (D-Ore.) said yester
day that the Dominican Re
public official who wrote to
Gov. Robert D. Holmes last
month complaining about rec
ent Porter attacks on the
Latin American country has
been removed from office.
Porter said the U. S. state
department notified him that
Arturo Despradel, the official,
wrote a letter of apology to
Gov. Holmes Oct. 18. He was
relieved of his post as Do
minican secretary of state for
industry and commerce two
days later, Porter said.
Porter had protested to the
state department in Washing
ton, D. C, because of what
he termed "unwarranted in
terference by Trujillo govern
ment in the Internal political
affairs of the state of Oregon."
The Dominican Republic
hinted that it would cut off
trade with the state , of Ore
gon if some action was not
taken to prevent Porter from
criticizing the Trujillo govern
ment. .
farm prices in mid-October. It
was the scarcity of these cit
rus fruits which caused the
farm price index to go up in
mid-September.
Also contributing to the de
cline for mid-October were
lower prices for hogs, cotton,
eggs, and corn. Price increases
for milk, strawberries, wheat,
and several vegetable crops
were not enough to offset the
sharp declines.
Farm production costs, led
by higher farm wage rates,
pushed farm living expenses
up seven - tenths of one per
cent during the month.
Average hog prices for the
month were $18.50 per hun
dredweight compared with
$20 in mid-September and $17
in mid-October a year ago.
Average beef cattle prices
were $22.50, compared with
the same amount for mid-September,
and $17.40 in mid
October, 1957.

Power Review
'Time Has Come'
Eugene-(UPD-Sen. Richard L.
Neuberger (D-Ore.) told the
annual meeting of the Lane
County Electric Coop, Inc.,
yesterday that "the time has
come in the, Pacific North
west to reconsider the priori
ties and preferences in the
distribution of power from
the federal Columbia River
system and to assure that no
single state or area will mo
nopolize its benefits.
"This will be one impor
tant facet of the effort to
transform the Bonneville
Power administration into a
regional government corpora
tion," he said, "with continu
ity of planning and financing,
which can assure the whole
region of continued low-cost
power in the future."
Neuberger, who sponsored
the Columbia River Develop
ment corporation bill, said he
personally believes in public
power but that neither public
nor private ownership of pow
er distribution systems should
be the single, decisive factor
in determining who could get
federal power if there should
not be enough to meet all
future demand.
