Law Aimed at Processors Aired Salem (UPD The pros and cons of an unfair practices law aimed at processors were air ed here Saturday before the Interim Committee on Agri culture. The committee has not tak en a stand on the bill, drawn up by the Oregon Fruit and vegetable Growers associa tion. Herbert Hardy, Portland, of the Oregon Canners, Packers, Freezers, and Cold Storage Council, said he doubted if the proposed bill is necessary for the formation of a grow ers' bargaining group. He said the council, representing about 90 per cent of the proc essors in Oregon, is "violent ly opposed" to the restrictions set out in the measure. Among other things, the bill forbids processors to interfere on a growers' bargaining group. It also outlaws so-called discrimination by proces sors In process, grades, quotas, hauling terms, delivery sched ules and loans or credits. About 50 persons attended the hearing.

Sun- (UPI Telephoto) Demo Presidential Aspirants Seek To Bury Religious Issue Washington - (UPD - Three Democratic presidential can didates sought today through separate moves to bury the religious issue as a factor in the 1860 campaign. Sen. John F. Kennedy (D Mass.) and Hubert H. Humph rey (D-Mlnn.) took steps to keep the issue of Kennedy's CaUiolic faith out of the West Virginia primary where they clash May 10. Sen. Stuart Symington (D Mo.), another avowed presi dential candidate, said "this country cannot afford bigot ry." He promised he would do everything in his power to eliminate the religious Issue from the campaign "by writ ing and talking about how wrong it Is." Symington, who Is entered in the primary, said voters in West Virginia should choose between Humphrey and Ken nedy on the basis of who would make the better presi dent.

JfSS or M Sstl SPRING Ml After a holiday in Jamaica, Kennedy returned to West Virginia Sunday night for three days in campaigning in preparation for his second contest with Humphrey. Ken nedy defeated Humphrey in Wisconsin on April 5. Humphrey planned to spend most of this week campaign ing for the May 3 District of Columbia primary, in which he is matched against Sen. Wayne L. Morse (D-Ore.), and to return to West Virginia early next week. His letter to West Virginia Democrats said he was run ning for the presidential nomination on his own and not as a "front man" for any one else. There have been reports that supporters of Symington and Senate Democratic Lead er Lyndon B. Johnson would support Humphrey in an ef fort to stop the front-running Kennedy. Symington also de nied he was connected with any such move. & Famous Brand l?8 Names REDUCED for SPRING SAVINGS REDUCED A VW VW AVV It ':V "I 3SSSSS3 New Round of Price Jumps Seen By Mid-Summer Washington -(UPD- Govern ment economists said today that soaring wholesale prices last month may point to a new round of retail price increas es before mid-summer. Their forecast was based on a Labor Department report Sunday night showing that wholesale prices In March climbed to an all-time peak, reflecting higher costs of farm products and food. The economists said the re port means the average con sumer's living costs also prob ably reached a new record high last month. The wholesale price index jumped six-tenths of one per cent in March - the largest monthly rise in two years -to 120.0 per cent of the 1947 49 average. This equaled the record high set last April, Blame Winter Weather Raw winter weather In March pushed up prices of livestock, meats and eggs, and vegetable prices moved up seasonally, the Bureau of La bor Statistics said. It said gasoline costs also rose substantially but other non-farm comodities were un changed or declined in price. The Increase In the whole sale index came on the heels of a report from a cabinet level committee which said the wholesale price index was virtually steady for two years and called it "a very useful tool for detecting and analyz ing inflationary trends." Bad for Housewives The index last month show ed falling prices for iron and steel scrap, copper scrap, some cotton goods and fuel heating oils. But the upsurge in the farm-food category Is bad news for housewives, econo mists said. Low grocery pric es have been, holding down the consumer price index, an other barometer of inflation, for most of the past year. The upward trend for food apparently confirms fears of Labor Department experts who anticipated a further in crease in the cost-of-living in dex. . . , A report for March living costs is expected to be releas ed next week. Orbiting Capsule Disappointing Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. -(UPD- A 300-pound space capsule whizzed around the earth in a polar orbit today -much to the disappointment of the Air Force. The orange-crate sized cap sule stuffed with instruments was successfully ejected Sat urday on the 17th orbit of Discoverer XI satellite. But it did not return to earth near Hawaii where a flotilla of ships and planes hoped to make the world s first recov ery of an object from orbit. Some undetermined meclv anism in the complicated sys tem failed to shoot the cap sule back as planned. Never theless the Air Force said the test of Discoverer XI was ex ceptional in its performance. From launch through the lime of ejection the instrU' mented second stage perform' cd all of its functions on com mand, reporting its activities back to Air Force tracking stations in Hawaii and Alaska.
