All thla talk about newapapera and their lack ol political inllucnce lainea an Interesting question: II It la true that PO per ceiH ol our American dally newnpapera are Republican In their leanings, WHY la It true? I'll give you my Idea of It. The newapapera are CLEARER ECONOMIC THINKERS than the Democratic politicians havo been They Just can't make themselves believe 111 something for nothing. They ara honest thinkers. Since they can't make themselves believe in something lor nothing they won't riKiu.e tho cause ol something lor nothing. TJio Democratic politicians dis covered early that by piuinlamg the people aomethlng for nothing they could REMAIN IN POWER. They were a little, aurprlacd when they found It out. One ol them, happily axtonlahed, put It this way. "Why, we can lax and lax and tax and spend and spend and spend and KI.KCT and ELECT and tLECTI" Thai's what they've been doing lor 20 years. Ninety per ceni of the newapa pera just haven't been able to go along in their thinking with that cynical political theory. They have been sure that In the long run It wilt bring our country to no good end. Bo they hava opposed It. By opposing II they have become aligned with the Republican party, which has been tho parly of oppo sition. That's how It has coma about that an overwhelming majority ol our dally newspapers are now Re. publican In their bellcls and there fore oppose Democratlo (New Deal P'alr Deal) candidates and support Republican candidates, r' I'm sura that situation Is nothing for our newspapers to be ashamed ol. On the contrary, I'd say It Is plenty of cause for honest and sin cere PRIDE.

President Truman said Thursday Adlal Btc- venson Is right in saying tho coun try has a one-party press. And Dwlght D. bisenhowcr Is wrong, he said. In declaring the people are primarily interested in n chango ol administrations at Washington. What people are most concerned nbout Is peace, the President told his news conference. He added that Elsenhower is running as the Re publican candidate for president on a course that calls for an "iso lationist Congress" that wouldn't bring peace, Stevenson said In Portland his campaign as the Democratic can didate runs Into a situation In which most newspapers are pro Republican, That's right. Truman said, adding that It doesn't seem to make much difference because the Democrats win anyway. The President said It was the same way In 1948 when, he said only 10.3 per cent of the daily newspapers supported the Demo cratic party. A reporter mentioned lo the President that Stevenson had pointed out that although the news papers mav sunnort the Remibll- cana editorially most of them are treating the political Issues fairly in their news columns. MpaalJfl Price rive Cents H Pun U.S. Farm Production Near Rec By OVID A. MARTIN WABHINOTON lf) The United States la producing a record vol ume of crop and livestock products thla year, but not all larmera are sharing In 11. In Its September crop progress report, the Agriculture Department said livestock farmers In some sec tions of the South and Southwest face serious shortages of feed for their cattle and other livestock next winter because of drought damage. The volume of crops indicated on Sept. 1 was close to the second largest of record, produced In 1949, the department aald. The produc tion of livestock products meat animals, dairy and poultry prod ucts and wool will be the largest ever produced. As a result the combined production of crops and livestock products will set a new record. FEATURE A feature of this year's produc tion Is the fact that It la well bal anced. That Is, the prospective big production does not reflect record outturns of a few crops offset by small volumes of other crops. Only In the case of winter wheat and rice are production records indi cated. The severe drought which af fected wide areas in the East and Southeast as well as the Southwest during July has raised concern among olllclals lest farmers be forced, by lack of feed, to sell off much of their livestock. The new report said 11 had not turned out that way. Instead, live stock was said to have held up well, except In the very driest areas. Marketings have not been unusually heavy. HAY CROP The vital hay crop was said lo be turning out belter than had been expected. The corn crop esti mate was boosted 60 million bush els above the August estimate, put ting It at 3.185,000.000 bushels or 8 per cent more than last year. The wheat crop remained virtu ally unchawiKl at 1,398,000.000 bushels, the eecond largest of rec ord and 311 million bushels more than last year. The potato crop Increased slight ly to top last year's short crop by 13 million bushels but still leaving It short of the government's pro duction goal of 350 million bushels. A shortage next spring similar to that which plagued communities last year as definitely possible. NW Leads in Grain Ouiput WASHINGTON Ifl The Pacific Northwest will lead the nation in spring wheat yield per acre and total production, the Agriculture Department sak.1 In its September crop progress report Wednesday. Montana was tops in production with an anticipated 46,380.000 bushels but the yield per acre was set at only 12 bushels, the report snia. Idaho led In that category with 32 bushels per acre and 21,953.000 total, followed by Oregon 37 and 4.356.000 and Washington, 23 and e.oj.uuu. The report covered spring wheat omer man uurum. The yield per acre and produc. Hon, respectively, of other im portant crops Included: Barley Oregon 37.5 bushels and iu,350,dooi laano 3S and 12, 313.000. Hops Washington, 1,800 pounds and 37.000,000; Oregon, 1,300 and 16.900,0000. Commercial apples (production omy : Washington 33,360,000 bushels. Pears t production only): Washington, 4,833,000 bushels; Oregon, 5,391,000. Potatoes Idaho, 300 bushels per acre and 43,300,000; Oregon 335 and 12,060,000. Weather Ends Botulism Loss TULELAKE Cold and wet weather have virtually ended the botulism season on the Tulelake and Lower Klamath Lake Wildlife refuges, Mgr. Tom Horn reported today. Lower Klamath losses this year numbered 2176 out of 300.000 to 400,000 birds there during the botulism season, Horn said, and considering the small percentage he called those losses "insignifi cant." Tulp's losses out of more than 500,000 birds resting there during botulism season were 1370, which Horn . called unaccountably hign because water management had been kept at a maximum there. This indicates botulism is pretty well under control," the mnnager said. "We're well pleased with the control this year, and It's not there by accident. It's the result of hard work." The change In the weather, which halts the action of botulism organ isms, has dropped the stricken bird count off virtually to aero. KLAMATH FALLS, OKKfiON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1951 St'SZpud dets In Klamath Falls j Oregon Potato Commission. .eting here yesterday for a regu .ar quarterly session, granted a re quest of the Klamath Potato Grow ers Association for S5.000, 11.500 of which Is earmarked for the Klam ath Basin Potato Festival and the other 83,600 for the Malln Labor Camp. Nine commissioners participated In the session, a full house, which elected Elmer Lemler, Merrill po tato farmer, as lis chairman. Lem ler replaces Scott Warren, Algoma, as chairman of the commission, and Ed Stastny, Malln, replaces Warren as a member of the group. Warren, who has been known as the "father" of the commission es tablished by Oregon slate law, announced in resigning he believed In a change, and that he believed a commercial grower should re place him since he has turned com pletely to growing certified seed spuds. He said his private business was beginning to make Inroads on the time he thought he would need to carry on the position. In a atepplng-out suggestion, the ex-chalrman offered the Idea that In event of a Republican victory In Washington this fall the potato Industry should strive to back ground the new administration on the potato situation. The commission approved a bud get submitted by Administrator Ben Davidson which estimated an income for the blennum of 8140.000. obtained from l'i-cent tax per hun dred pounds of potatoes. Of that amount 23 percent goes to adminis trative costs and $84,000 Is re turned to the contributing areas In Ike Rejects HST Remark NEW YORK W Gen. Dwlght D.

Other special benefits come from the remaining funds, as well as further services to the potato In dustry. The commission was formed to promote the Industry in every possible way In Oregon. Administrator Ben Davidson told the session labor would be In short supply thla year, and that the com mission win cooperate witn the United Elates and Oregon employ ment offices in dispatching labor to the proper areas at the proper tunes on a statewide basis.

Parker, federal attor ney in charge of the investigation. said the case was not closed.
