TEN HERALD AND NEWS STOCKMAN SEES JAP CRACK-UP BY NEW YEAR S Answ-irlng what he called the "sixty-tour dollar question, Congressman Lowell oiocicman told Rotariani Friday that in his opinion Japan will crack by the first of the year. Stockman opened his talk to Kotary club by saying that this had been his prediction some time ago, and that he still stuck to It, However, he mentioned three unknown factors which could keep Jap resistance up lor two or three years. Three Factors The first point in question was , "how much intelligence do the Japs have? the question oeing if they are smart enough to know they're whipped. I'omt two: "How much influence do Jap militarists have over the neoDle as a whole?" Point three: "How fanatical is the jap indoctrination?" Stockman said that the ques tion asked him next often to that concerning the war's end was what he tnougni 01 presi dent Truman. His appraisal was that the president is a nomey man wno knows the value of a dollar, who can take expert advice to solve problems, and who picks good men 'as lieutenants and then delegates them authority to do a job. Their qualities, in his opinion, make a welcome cnange for the better. Stockman characterized the new members o the Truman cabinet as "solid, sensible men. OPA Problem The OPA, Stockman said, Is another topic often brought up by his constituents. Defending his votes for its continuance, he said, "the principle of the act is most excellent tne admin istration of it is lousy." He went on to say that the admin istration of local boards had been excellent but that local boards are not given the author ity to do good jobs. The trouble with OPA, he said, is that the executive heads of most agencies are men who have gone broke in private busi ness or nave not been good enough to hold private jobs. This, plus the practice of most agency heads of having unwieldy staffs of 300 to 400 secretaries, makes OPA almost unworkable at head quarters. Main Trouble . In answering questions from the club, Stockman said that cutting down the top-heavy gov ernment agencies, or any other drastic change, can come only from popular demand by the voters of the country. "The trouble is," he said, "everybody has the 'gimmies.' " . In closing, Stockman praised Senators Cordon and Morse as being highly intelligent, ef fective and cooperative.

Ceremonies ana celebrations olanned for the day will recognize the part mayea Dy me coast guard in tne trayativ wai, ne saia. Good Deed Daily at 68 I'm 68 and I try to do my good deed daily. So the young ish old man told it as we drove on into the city. Then we asked him If you were to go out into eternity this very hour, would all your good deeds blot out even one sin? Would you go out a sinless being? God is sinless, Christ is sinless and so also are the angels in heaven. Then we went on to say that God is now calling out a people from all nations. A people who believe in Christ for cleansing and for the power of a new life. When you permit your heart to trust in Christ, the new life is on the way. Let your heart believe that Christ has cleansed away all the sins of your lifetime and it- is done. From that instant, with, sins blotted out, God names you a . sinless being. ONE He now has a new photo of you that shows you sinless and gowned in his own righteousness. TWO He puts your name in His Book of Life. THREE He gives you the urge to do His will and to look to Christ for the power. To this man of 68, it was all new that his good deeds would not save him. And from what followed, he must have been turning- nis neart to Christ. What does your heart say? Do you die sinless in God's sight? Your heart knows. - .

BEGINNING . 1 GROUP VIEWS FALL One of the most important fall seeded grain trials, oi wheal and barley particularly, viewed at luimuun agriculture experi ment station ncld day, Friday, was of extreme interest to tho small group who attended.

Utah winter barley, planted October 1, 1944, now ready for harvest, showed evidence of a good yield, even on rather poor land. A three-acre field of this barley, seeded October 26, was of particular, interest. General forecasts were that this field would yield over 100 bushels of excellent barley. A field of hymar wheat, seed ed October 26, also showed promise of an excellent yield. Both of these fall-seeded crops were on relatively poor lands that had previously been class 5 lands, incapable of bear ing taxes and water chorges. These lands have been improved with drainage, sulphur added to the soil, and legume crops, as well as frequent leaching out of salts with water. . Flashes of Life ONE GOOD TURN PORTLAND, Ore..
