Klamath growers Scott Warren

The statement, according to
Chairman Roy Snabcl, Redmond,
of tho Calllornla-Orcgon Potato

mittee, is to do a "selling job on
the OPS."
A historical Northwest premium,
Snabcl said, allows that Oregon

have been Irora 00 to 80 cents per
hundredweight higher than the
prices In other stales.
"We are not flphting the celling
itself." Snabcl said. "Probably it
was needed. It was getting to be
a runaway market. But we are
fighting to get a celling at a fair
price for this area.''
The growers would like to raise
the proposed ceilings by 76 cents
to VI .41 per hundred pounds to
the grower.
Also sought in the statement Is
a month-by-month Increase In (he

costs and shrinkage. According to
roports here, that would run some

Demos Fight
Tax Boost
WASHINGTON W One of the
Democrats on the House Ways and
Means Committee reported Friday
they sre practically solid in op
posing another general tax increase
this year.
With the Republican minority
lined up against a boost. Congress
apparently has written off anv nos-
sibility of favorable action on Pres
ident Truman s request for approx
imately five billion more tax dol
lars. '
Under the Constitution, all reve
nue legislation must originate in
tne House, and tne Ways and
Means group is in the driver's seat.
By all present indications, it will
keep Its foot on the brake and off
the starter.
Ways and Means Democrats held
an informal conference at which
sentiment was sounded out. The
member who reported solidarity
against an increase asked not to
be quoted by name.

But ne softened the blow sngntiy
by upping the bacon ration from

each Briton will be entitled to about
four razor-thin slices a week in
stead of three.
Here's what the weekly ration
will buy: . .
A chunk of low-grade stewing

Or a slightly bigger portion ol

Or to small lamb chops.
Or a chunk of prime beefsteak

rain poured floods into flatlands
south of here.

Another critical situation in the
San Fernando Valley, north of Los
Angeles proper, apparently was
well in hand, although some 200
families had been taken from their
homes in the Reseda area.
As (welcome "sunshine broke
through the clouds shortly after
dawn, the picture through much
of Southern California was one of
rushing torrents, mud-closed high
ways ana stalled cars.
By S a.m., the ntorm had brought
4.17 inches of rain in Los Angeles
in 18 hours. Higher amounts fell
on foothill communities which ring
the city and despite flood control
channels and spreading basins, the
immense volume of water was rip

cast intermittent rain, occasionally
heavy, through Wednesday.
Friday's downpour boosted Los

Despite a respite in the rainfall

as choked mountain creeks rushed
into the valleys. SDreading basins
have been built at the moutlra of
many creeks to conserve as much

The entire state has been plagued
by the worst storms since the turn

The S. P. has 350 men working
