Northwest Wheat Sales Far Ahead Of Normal Year MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON' THI RSDAY. OCTOBER 10. 19fi.1 i SPOKANE (UPI)-If the So viet Union wants to bring some of the wheat it will purchase . from the United States through Pacific Northwest ports, it may have to stand in line. Sales of wheat this year have moved so far ahead of normal ', that 8,000 rail carloads of the grain are backed up on North- .' west sidings waiting for move- i ment. i Jim Hanson, farm director of , KOMO, Seattle, called public at I tention to the unusually large , number of cars filled with wheat : Wednesday. .j Merrill Sather, executive sec- retary of the Pacific Northwest I Grain Dealers Association, said, . "Grain has sold faster this year than I've ever known it before." . Comparable Sales He said sales by Oct. 1 this year were comparable to sales by Dec. 1 most years. Sather said the grain was sold at country elevators and must be shipped to coastal points for export. "It's moving out of the country points so fast they can't get the cars unloaded at the 1 miniums, Bauier saiu. uars are simply backed up." He said the increase in sales had several contributing fac tors. One was a worldwide short age of wheat. Another was the lowest carry over in 10 years of Northwest white wheat. Another is a possible increase in freight rates slated for Oct. Attorneys Named To Defend Dairyman OREGON CITY (UPD-Two attorneys have been appointed by Clackamas County Circuit Court here to represent an Estacada dairy worker accused of slaying his hunting com panion. Donald Douglas, 21, has been charged with first degree mur der in the death of Patrick Ed win Morrison, 42, also of Esta cada. Morrison's body was found near Portland Oct. 6. He had been missing since he left his home Sept. 28. . The attorneys Dale Jacobs of Oregon City and Robert Mills of Milwaukie, requested postponement of a preliminary hearing until they had an op portunity to study the case. Another hearing was tenta tively set for today. 31, which Sather said could have resulted in some shippers getting grain aboard cars in or der to take advantage of the current lower rate. Already Arrived Also adding to the grain cars in the Northwest is a Commodity Credit Corporation decision to increase its Northwest stock of red Midwest wheat from six- to seven million bushels to 12 mil lion bushels. About 3,000 car loads of Midwest wheat is en route to the Northwest and Sather said some of them may already have arrived. Sather said the worldwide wheat shortage was so severe that Northwest white wheat was being sold in Europe where it rarely had gone before. About 85 per cent of Northwest wheat goes into export trade, but most is sold to Asian nations. Because of sales programs in previous years, the North west carryover was down to eight- to 10 million bushels, an amount generally considered too small. Sather said as much as 60 per cent of this year's crop may already be sold, a far higher percentage than normal.

I think we're having an air raid." Or you will suy "that's a good question. Why don t you go ask your mother?" There may be moments, how ever, when all escape hatches are closed. Such was the case at my house some time ago when my daughter, who is teoici'ing on the brink of 13, be came curious about something she saw on television. Her mother was not at home at the lime and there ! wasn't an airplane in the sky. So, hack lo the wall, I found myself trying to rxplain Frank Similra. Whenever you arc explaining Sinatra to a prc-tecn-agcr you have to choose your words very carefully. Otherwise, you might say something that will cause her in later life to turn against baritones. On this evening. Sinatra was appearing as a guest star on somebody's program and my daughter was puzzled by the conversation he was having with the host. "Why do Ihcy keep asking him about girls?" she said. "He looks like he is almost as old as you are." "I like to think "Ihnl women still tractive 1 replied way. "You're putting me on." "No I'm not. It's true. Ask your mother when she gets back. She goes for Sinatra." "I'm talking about girls." my daughter said. "I don't know a single girl in my class who thinks he's cool." "Listen," I said, ' f can re member when girls your age used to line up for blocks to get in a theater where Sinatra was singing. Every time they saw him they would moan and tear their hair and scream 'Frankic!' " "That must have been before I was born." "Yes," I admitted, "1 guess it was." "But why are Ihey always asking him about girls now?" "Be quiet for a minute," I said. "I think I hear an air raid siren."
