DPA HEAD SEES
IRE BED TAPE
AND RATION
NEW YORK, Dec. 4 (P) Dr.
Robert A. Millikan, scientist and
head of the California Institute
of Technology, said today "the
average American has both a
head and a conscience," and
that there is no sign "ho will
ever let his country down."
"My optimism has been de
rived from watching carefully
the Gallup polls ever since they
started," Dr. Millikan told the
national convention of the Na
tional Association of Manufac
turers in a prepared address.
Tho manufacturers also had
the word of Leon Henderson,
price administrator, that Ameri
cans could expect more ration
h.g of food and pleaded for less
regimentation.
More Decentralisation
Henderson told the industrial
ists last night thai the American
public had not yet reached the
"bottom of the barrel" and that
1943 would bring "more czars,
more red tape and rationing."
He said 1943 additionally
would bring more decentraliza
tion of the office of price ad
ministration away from Wash
ington, raising of sub-standard
wages, and maintenance ' of
present corporate practices.
But Walter D. Fuller, chair
man of the NAM board of di
rectors and president of the Cur
tis Publishing company, told a
radio audience in an address in
connection with the convention
that curtailment was being car
ried to extremes, industries were
being concentrated and plants
rhut down to an extent unnec
essary for prosecution of the
war.
HELPMATE
DENVER OP) Francis War
ner, 27, told his ailing wife to
stay in bed he'd do the family
washing.
He got things going In the
basement, with young daughter
LUa Mae as a spectator. Forget
ting clothespins, Warner went
upstairs. His daughter's screams
sent him bolting back down
stairs. En route he pushed a
hand through a glass pane in
the basement door.
Warner needed hospital atten
tion for a severed artery. Lila
Mae had her fingers pinched in
the wringer, but the machine
had turned off automatically and
she wasn't hurt badly.
Mrs. Warner finished the
washing.

Weekly Market Trends
'Editor'! NoU: The following mirket In.
formetlon le eupplled from materiel ob.'
reined over the government leexed wire In
the office of the extension economlet at
Oregon State college. The material. In the
form of a weekly timmary of trende In the
Iteeetock market, la not Intended for re
placing apot day by day market reporte.)
The livestock marketing situ
ation in general is highly unset
tled at present because of the
conditions relative to slaughter
ing quotas. A considerable num
ber of the packing plants are un
able to handle additional live
stock at this time even though
supplies on Oregon farms are
abundant and consumer demand
is active.
The national requirement for
conserving meat for the armed
forces and lend-lease has result
ed In regulations in advance of
actual consumer rationing, which
has left rough spots in certain
parts of the country not yet
straightened out. Because of
this situation the actual volume
ot marketing, and to a certain
extent the price conditions as re
ported herein, do not reflect the
normal supply and demand situ
ation' as would ordinarily be the
case.
CATTLE MARKETS
Probably the smallest run of
cattle in recent years arrived at
North Portland last Monday,
when only 800 head were re
ceived, all of which were offered
for local sale. Trading was ac
tive with the market up as much
as 25 cents. No good fed stuff
was offered, although some me
dium to low short fed steers sold
up to $13.65. Grass steers were
mostly S11.79 to $12.75. At the
same time, trading in Chicago on
fed steers was sluggish. Most
offers were 25 to 50 cents under
previous conditions for good

WHEAT
CHICAGO, Dec. t (JP) Buy
ing of contracts specifying deliv
ery of wheat before the end of
this month rallied the wheat
market today. Earlier there was
a show ot weakness following
word that the ceiling on flour
had been extended, without up
ward revision as some traders
expected.
. December wheat rose more
than a cent a bushel at one time
but deferred contracts had little
share of this strength. Some
traders thought the demand for
December delivery may have re
flected the fact that in this man
ner ownership of grain can be
acquired cheaper than by out
right purchases in the spot mar
ket, where prices are around top
levels quoted during the flour
c Ming base period.
The price of above $1.27 for
December futures was the high
est in two months. Top grades
of yellow corn, quoted above 90
cents In the spot market, were
the highest since 1937.
