Wheat Farmers
Vote To Continue
Federal Controls
Washington - (CPD - The na
tion's wheat farmers voted by
a better than four to one mar
gin to continue rigid govern
ment control over their 1960
crop, returns showed today.
In return they will receive
high price support assistance.
The alternative rejected by
the farmers was unrestircted
plantings and sharply reduced
price props.
Returns from all of the 39
states participating in Thurs
day's wheat referendum
showed 80.7 per cent of the
farmers in favor of the pre
sent wheat program. The al
most complete vote was 160,'
718 to 38,522.
Revision Not Expected
A two-thirds majority was
needed to keep the controver
sial program in effect another
year. Farmers gave a 84.1 per
cent endorsement in the 19o8
vote.
Agriculture Secretary Ezra
Taft Benson, who has bitter
ly criticized the present pro
gram for producing surpluses,
told a news conference in ad
vance of the returns that he
did not believe Congress
would revise the program at
Its present session.
Benson said it would be
"unfair" for Congress to pass
new wheat legislation now in
view of the referendum. He
said it was "very regrettable"
that Congress did not enact
the administration's wheat
plan calling for lower price
supports.
75 Per Cent of Pari!
The present rigid program
calls for planting allotments
totaling 55 million acres,
marketing quotas based on
the allotments, and price sup
ports at the present minimum
level of 75 per cent of parity
or not less than $1.77 a
busheL
If the farmers had rejected
the controls, they would have
received price supports of
only 50 per cent of parity, or
about $1.18 a bushel. Presi
dent Eisenhower said Wednes
day it was a "sorry choice"
the farmers had to make.
Drug Possession
Hearing Scheduled
Portland (CPD A hearing
before U. S. Commissioner
Claire Mundorff was sched
uled for Monday for a Van

McKay Will Be Remembered in
Washington for Good Humor
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington - Douglas Mc
Kay, who sat in one of worst
political storm centers of the
first Eisenhower term, will
probably be remembered
most for his
genuine good
nature.
In an arena
where bitter
ness, malice,
back - biting
and crafty un
d e rc u 1 1 i ng
easily become
the tools of
A. Robt Smitb uiue men em
broiled in big controversies,
McKay maintained his sense
of humor and bore criticism
with gallant silence.
McKay had one of the
toughest assignments in the
E i s e n hower administration
when it took office. He had
to head a department most
vulnerable to appeals from
special interests who want
more favorable policies and
treatment from Uncle Sam.
They range from the private
utilities to oil companies to
mining firms to big western
stockmen to salmon canners.
The entry of the Republi
can party to tne executive
branch, after the long reign
of the Democrats, was the sig
nal for these interested groups
to descend on Washington and
put on their drives for policy
changes they couldn t always
get from the Democrats to
"turn things back to private
enterprise."
Tried Hard
It is no criticism of McKay
that he was not personally
equal to the task. He tried
hard. He arrived here weeks
before he was to take office
and took a little room in the
Interior Department to study
upon the problems he would
face. But he was never able
to quite get on top of them.
He had to delegate much of
the intricate decision-making
to his brainy subordinates,
chiefly his successive under
secretaries, Ralph Tudor and
Clarence Davis.

ANTELOPE 4-H CLUB
On top of him was hard-
riding Sherman Adams at the
White House, whose brisk
commands McKay was oblig
ed to accept. He probably
wouldn't have rebeled at any
of President Eisenhower's pol
icy ideas, for McKay fairly
worshipped his chief.
Not favored with a big
mind, by Washington stand
ards, McKay had the com
pensating attribute of a big
heart.
He lost his temper on oc
casions, somethimes getting
himself into hot water in the
process, like the time he told
a group of Alaskans to grow
up and learn to be ladies and
gentlemen. But he was not a
man to hold grudges.
No one ever had a harder
row than McKay because dur
ing his cabinet tenure he was
under constant attack from
the senators from his home
state, Wayne Morse and Rich
ard L. Neuberger, back in the
days when the senators were
working in tandem with daily
blasts at the administration
for alleged resource "give
aways." And when he was at
last dispatched to Oregon at
the 11th hour to take . on
Morse for the Senate, re
sponding to a party call to
duty for an assignment he did
not want, no one was happier
than Morse.
No Anger or Malice
Yet McKay never, in the
many times I talked with him
at length during and after his
cabinet term, spoke in anger
or malice of either Morse or
Neuberger. For a time, after
Neuberger's election to the
Senate, he felt that Neuberger
was a young pup yapping at
his heels.
He, speaking of himself,
was working on resource de
velopment on the Willamette
Basin Commission long be
fore Neuberger ever took up
the cause. Later, when Neu
berger seemed" to become
more mature in his estima
tion, McKay said so. And,
what probably signifies more
about McKay, he was pleased
with this change.
Of Morse, McKay had an at
titude of regretful respect.
He felt that Morse was bril
liant but erratic. His regret
was not that Morse, for whom
he had campaigned in Morse's
GOP days, had become his
chief attacker so much as
that the senator's intellectual
power had not been better
stabilized.
Never Cried Blues
McKay never cried the
blues about political or per
sonal trouble. The last time
I saw him, a few weeks ago
in the corridor of the Senate
office building, he had as
much bounce and cheerful
ness as ever, despite a recent
seige at Walter Reed hospital
for high blood pressure.
When introduced to a young
lady who is on his successor's
staff at Interior, McKay bub
bled over with some folksy
advice:
"You will do alright," he
predicted. "It's when you get
up high enough that you have
to buy a tuxedo-that's when
you run into trouble."

Truck Involved
In Road Mishap
A logging truck accident
occurred about 6 p.m. yester
day on the Little Butte high
way, eight miles east of Eagle
Point, according to state po
lice. No serious injuries, were
reported.
A logging truck owned by
Eugene F. Burrill, Medford,
driven by William Glen Mc-
Kinnis, 40, of 5065 Highway
66, Ashland, was going west
toward Brownsboro when it
slid into a roadside ditch as
it rounded a curve. McKinnis
pulled the truck from the
ditch, but it headed for the
left side of the highway. The
trailer then flipped over the
truck and load. The driver
suffered bruises, state police
said.
Another accident occurred
about 5:15 pjn. yesterday on
Highway 99, south of Rogue
River. A pickup truck driven
by Emerson Winthrope Roll
er, 43, of route 1, box 99,
Grants Pass struck the rear

I. Laws, 38, of Rogue River.
The car had stopped to make
a left turn, and the truck
driver was unable to see the
halted car until he struck it,
state police were told.
Two passengers in the Laws
car, Margaret Ruth VanHoy,
16, of Rogue River, and Jo
Ann Brooks, 16, of route 1,
box 404, Gold Hill, were
treated by physicians for head
and back injuries, respective

At Walla Walla
Walla Walla-WPD-Two in
mates of the Washington
State Penitentiary here es
caped from the animal farm

afternoon in a prison jeep.
The escaped men were
identified as Eugene Marvin
Davis, 33, of Okanogan coun
ty, and Allen Alexander, 23,
of Clark county.
The State Patrol and the
Walla Walla county sheriff's
office immediately set up
roadblocks in the immediate
area. Oregon police and sher
iffs offices throughout Wash
ington were alerted.

pants in the 1955 riot at the
institution, was in prison on
an assault conviction and was
due for parole in April of
1962.
Alexander was . admitted
here from Monroe Reforma
tory on a second-degree burg
lary conviction.
Castor Oil Used
In Plastic Foams
Washington-(Science Services-Castor
oil can be used
as a major ingredient in mak
ing plastic foams, the Depart
ment of Agriculture has re
ported. Plastic, or urethane, foams
made with castor oil range
from spongy to rigid, depend
ing on the amount of the oil
or other ingredients used and
on the methods of processing.
USDA's research with castor
oil and plastic foam is part
of a broad study designed to
discover economic uses for
castor beans. Although most
of the 120,000,000 pounds of
castor oil used in this coun
try each year is imported, in
terest in domestic production
of castor beans is growing.
A market is already estab
lished for castor oil as a raw
material in jet-engine and
other industrial lubricants, in
cosmetics and in medicines,
the USDA reported.
