Sweetland Urges
Economy Program
Springfield a'PD State
Sen. Monroe Sweetland has
proposed a three-point pro
gram to step up Oregon's
"lagging economy.
The Democratic candidate
for secretary of state called
for abandonment of tight
money policies, enactment of
a general housing bill, and a
state industrial development
program to secure more year
round industries for Oregon.
Speaking in Springfield,
Sweetland said Oregon's
economy has been hindered
by high interest, tight money
policies, and by a lack of di
versified industry.
Young Republicans in Med
ford will sponsor a "Votes
wagon," a Volkswagen loaned
by Morse Motors, Medford, to
assist in voter registration.
Local young Republicans
interested in working on the
project may telephone Mrs.
Charles t. Cheney at SPring
2-6962.
Central Point Firm Defaults
Western Produce company,
Ceftral Point, has defaulted
on payment of a reparation
awarded under the Perish
able Agricultural Commodi
ties act, the U.S. department
of agriculture has announced.
The USDA said Western
bought fruits and vegetables
from Dave C. Bechtel, Med
ford, during July and August,
1959, but failed to pay any
part of the agreed purchase
price of $1,121.87.
The company did not an
swer the non-payment com
plaint filed against it, and
the USDA ordered payment
of the full amount due, plus
interest.
The produce-trading license
of Western Produce had
terminated prior to issuance
of the reparation order. The
firm can not trade in produce
under the act without a li
cense, neither can any of the
three partners, Theodore H.
Brown Sr., Josephine F.
Brown and Charles A. Brown.
A new license will not be
issued to the firm or to the
partners until the reparation
order is satisfied, the USDA
said.
The perishable agricultural
commodities act establishes a
code of good business conduct
for the produce ifclustry. As
a means of enforcing that
code, it requires that inter
slate traders in fruits and
Qjetables be licensed. It
also authorizes the USDA to
suspend or revoke a trader's
license for violation of the
act. '
Chairman Resigns
Portland-OIPD-John H. Krie
ger has submitted his resig
nation as temporary chairman
of the Marv Owens-for-Con-gress
committee.
Owens is the Democratic
congressional candidate from
Oregon's first district. He op
poses Congressman Walter
Norblad.
Krieger said "business ac
tivities and pressures In the
immediate future" would pre
vent him from devoting full
time to campaign efforts for
Owens.
A rise in consumer sDenrt.
mg to $330 bilii will be j
major factor in the gross na
tional product above a half
trillion dollars this year.
