Growers To Get Indemnify for Cranberry Losses Washington-dJPD-The White House announced late Wednesday about $10 million in federal funds will be paid to cranberry growers "who suffered losses through no fault of their own during last fall's cranberry-cancer con troversy. The White House said the indemnity payments would be made by the Agriculture De partment and would approxi mate $8 per barrel for cleaned, marketable cran berries. The cranberry crisis devel oped last fall when the depart ment of health, education and welfare halted sales of berries which had been sprayed with the weed-killing chemical ami notriazol. The department said the chemical caused can cer in rats. Purchases Curtailed The effect of last fall's or der was to curtail sharply purchases of all cranberries. The government's action Wednesday was designed to help make up for most of these losses. The normal commercial price for cranberries has been about $12 per barrel, but growers have marketed some berries at less than this ave rage. With the $8 per barrel benefit payment from the gov ernment, the White House fig ured their gross yield would approximate the market price over the last two years. No indemnity payments will be made on contaminated berries. The agriculture department shortly will announce details of the indemnity payment procedure. Wall Street Chatter New York (UPD Steel pro duction will set a record this year, although ingot produc tion likely will decline for the for the rest of 1960, accord ing to Prentice-Hall. In its weekly report on busi ness, Prentice-Hall says steel output probably will slip to an average of about 70 per cent in the third quarter with mill shipments keyed closely to consumption. Competition from substitute materials and importes will be sharp, the report adds. "Therefore, price hikes, likely late in the fall, should turn out to be moderate." The Dow " Theory Trader says that Crucible Steel, near ly 30 per cent under its 1959 60 high, should climb rapidly in the next six months, and International Nickel should be able to establish successive new - highs in the months ahead as it responds to an al most inevitable pick up in in vestor demand.

Friday. A similar announcement W e d n e s day putting a ban into effect to day was cancelled. The French broadcast sev eral such warnings before set ting off their first atomic blast Feb. 15. The second blast is expected between April 9 and 18. Meeting Postponed . Deputy Soviet Premier Ale- xei Kosygin Wednesday indef initely postponed a meeting scheduled for Friday with captains of French industry and commerce. The surprise cancellation of what France had regarded as vital trade talks gave rise to speculation that it might be a form of Soviet pressure against France's nuclear poli cies. Lending support to this was a statement by Khrushchev Wednesday that it would be good thing if nobody exploded any more bombs, be it the United States, Great Britain, the U.S.S.R. or France."

(UPD State Rep. Vernon Cook (D-Trout-dale) urged Gov. Mark Hat field today to press state In surance Commissioner Dean Musser for an estimate on how much the state has lost in past years for failure to col lect tax monies from out-of-state insurance companies un der' retaliatory provisions of Oregon. In a - letter to Hatfield, Cook charged both Musser and Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. with being "dere lict in their duty." . . Estimated in Millions Cook made the alleged loss in tax money public Saturday. Tuesday, Musser said his of fice would take "immediate steps to collect .the tax and fees presumed owed." Cook had estimated that in the 13 years since 1947 when the re taliatory provisions were re enacted the loss might be in the millions of dollars. Musser said he doubted if the loss could be that high. He said there is even doubt that a recent opinion by At torney General Robert Y. Thornton backing up Cook's claim, is valid. Home State Rate The retaliatory section pro vides that an insurance com pany doing business here but whose home is in another state may be taxed on the basis of the home state rate if that rate is higher than Oregn's. The retaliatory provision of Oregon's 1937 insurance tax law was repealed in 1945 but became law again in 1947, vith some changes. Cook requested Hatfield to have Musser "get to work and determine how great a loss the state of Oregon has suffered Investment Funds Noon fundsr Fund quotations on selected Bid 12.49 10.73 12.34 ' 23 .28 Asked 13.59 11.60 ' 13.49 24.89 Bullock Chem Fund Colonial Ener Eaton Howard Stk Fidelity 14.98 16.19 9.30 13.10 10.03 10.14 8.43 17.10 Group Sec Avia-Elec 8.49 Group Sec Com Stk 11.96 Group Sec Petr Group Sec Steel Group Sec Tobac 9.15- 9.23 7.69 15.68 9.43 14.00 18.30 11.
