Some Alsik'e Sells Below PMA Levels By MALCOLM F.I'LKY Jit, Herald and News Farm Editor A slow movement has begun among lortil alslke clover growora to utilize government support price agreements on their 11)52 crops, though there huve been a lev local miles reported even below the 25-cenl-pcr pound support price. One Klumitth buyer reported movement here of several curloads already, snmo purchased as low us 23 'i cents per pound. But ap parently there's little more thut will sell though thero inuy bo sev eral cars yet lo move. Other buy ers rcort sumo movement, too. The olliclal estimate ol this year's Canadian ulslko crop Is Just about what the Klumalli Basin Is pro ducingabout 6.'J'(I,WM) pounds. The two areas together. If left without other competition, would probably produce what the country will use next year. Appurcmly there has been quite a decline In alslke use III the Mid west and Northeustern arena where the legume has helped build up lands to the iwliit where It Isn't needed any mure. There will a! wavs be a need, however, since alslke thrives on sour, wet land where other legumes won't make It. i-itonrc'TioN The alslke production in the en tire U.S. this year has been set at 10.2US.000 pounds, and the com bined crops of Cunudu and U.S. figure ut about 15.5Ui.000 pounds When a 3,n,000 pound combined carryover from both countries is added, that makes a grand total of more than 18,000.000 pounds la avallub e to be drawn upon. Lust year dealers In the United States held the main portion ol the nation's alslke carryover, al- terpaylng record high prices. This. vesr dealers are extremely can llous; apparently the larmers or the government will be holding the carryover. At present local seed warehouses are either In the process oi getting lederal oknys for the PMA sup port agreements, or already have them. As more receive okays, more support agreements are expected to he okayed. CONFUSION There has been some confusion about these agreements, according to County Agent Walt Jendrzejew- ski. He said the fee for the sup port service Is one cent per hun dred pounds for warehouse-stored need, not one cent per pound. An Interest rate of 3V per cent per annum la applied lo loans maae on the seed If the crop Is sold before maturity of the loan April 30. Growers have until Jan. 31 to sign up for the agreements, and under the purchase agreement growers are still tree to sell their clover If the price suits them. That would put Uie price at at least 27 cents per pound, which locsl experts leel Is In the realm of possibility. Jcndrzejewskl reported he feels the trade will want to buy a good portion of the Basin crop In time for spring planting probably all Uie good quality seed It can get Its hands on. Klamath alslke Is of hlnh quali ty, and Is olicn mixed with lower quality seed to bring up the gen eral purity. A lot oi local aeeu hssn't been cleaned yet. and could not be shipped yet. The county agent said there Is still plenty ol time to buy alslke ship It, blend It. package it and distribute It In time lor users to use It In the spring. From the dealer s aland- Doinl. he said, uie uasin crop doesn't have to be sold until alter the first of the year, thougn in the past by this lime well over half Is usually gone Some rumors In this area tnai 4.000,000 (Ml pounds of Csnsdlan alslke already have been shipped to the U.S. Is doubted by most people who should know here. The 280.000 pounds Imported by the end of Oc tober w-as an carryover, ana oniy since then could this year's crop hae started to come In. But 11 lakes time to clean the seed up, and though shipments are probably hlnh. nothing like me rumored ng- ures are expected when olliclal re ports come out. Last wees clover was sruiim delivered at 29 cents per pound In the Midwest, which would mean 26 cents is the basement here lor prolltable sales. There are rumors that It Is even below that, now.

Labor Post For Mashburn tOS ANGELES I California Slate Labor Commissioner Lloyd A.

The UDSA reported the year-end estimate at 347,504,000 bushels, a decrease of one and three quarter million bushels from last year. The Calllornlu lute crop, on the other hand, la estimated at up about 1.500.000 (Ml bushels, which ellects a good portion of Oregon s decrease, and all ol' the Iduho and Washington decrease.

Elsenhower cloaked In deep secrecy today the Korean War and world peace views out lined lo him by Gen. Douglas Mat-Arthur. Aldrs said Elsenhower was studying Ideas MacArthur set forth st their history-making conlcrence yesterday, but they added that no detailed public account ol what was discussed can be expected. Eisenhower made ready, mean while, for a meeting today with a group of Republican leaders w the House of Representatives. The President-elect said the ses sion Is one of a series he will hold with the GOP high c.....and Sen. Morse Backs Taft WICHITA, Knn. Wl Sen. Wayne L. Morse of Oregon believes his avowed opponent. Sen, Robert A. Tall of Ohio, should be Senate majority leader. I believe the responsiDinty 01 leadership should be put on him. I disagree with Sen. Taft on the merits of many Issues, but I nave the highest respect for Sen, Taft's devotion to his convictions. Unlike Elsenhower, he does not compro mise his principles," Morse said. In a press snd radio conterence here Morse said Republicans now have to guard against a dangerous reaction Irom me cnani ana rhythm" campaign they put on for Eisenhower. He said the campaign was based on "an elementary advertising technique the psychology of chant and rhythm that is elfectlve In primitive tribes In the African junirle. 'Republicans spent minions oi dollars In getting American people swayed1 by a cnani -we nxe Ike,- We like Ike," 'We like ike,' ana We want a change.' "They did a magnificent Job, spending millions of dollars in making a great father of Elsen howerIn setting up the 'father image' that In savage tribes Is manifested as idol worship, and in higher societies is known as 'a leader'." He warned against "a public wave of resentment that will go too far the other way" if Elsen hower cannot solve the problems voters thought he could. He said that If Republicans fail to stop the wave of resentment they will be 'olnvincr Into the hands of some pretty dangerous people.'1 Weather FORECAST Klamath Falls and vicinity and Northern California: with occasional snow flurries start ing tcnlght.

A meeting with Senate Repub lican leaders probably will be held during the week between Christ mas and New Year s day. After yesterday's Elsenhower- MacArthur conference at the Man hattan home of John Foster Dulles, secretary of state-designate, the two five-star generals told news men they had discussed the prob lem ol winning peace In Korea and the rest ol the world. The luncheon get-together at Dul les' four-story town house resulted from a MacArthur speech here Dec. 5. He said then there Is clear and definite solution to the Korean conflict. Elsenhower, who had lust com plcted a three-day inspection of the war zone in Korea In search ol a formula, messaged MacArthur from aboard a cruiser In the Pa cific that he would like to confer with him. MacArthur promptly ac cepted. The meeting yesterday was ar ranged by Dulles, who also sat In. When It was over, neither Elsen hower nor MacArthur said in their brief statements whether they were in agreement on a course to follow In Korea. Neither mentioned the "clear and delinite solution" which MacArthur had talked about Dec. 5. An Elsenhower aide sold pri vately there was no doubt that MacArthur had set forth a plan. "After all." said the aide, "that was the whole purpose of the meeting." The conference started a few minutes after 1 p.m., and Eisen hower and MacArthur left Dulles' home 2 hours and 15 minutes later. The President - elect said In a statement to reporters after the meeting: "I have just met with two. old friends for a very enjoyable lunch eon. "Our general topic of conversa tion was peace. We discussed the possibility of peace in Korea with particular reference to the world situation, in which, ot course, such Korean oeace would have to be determined." Eisenhower turned to MacArthur outside Dulles' home and said he hoped "my former commander will say a few words." Newsmen tin rlosp heard Eisen hower say he and MacArthur had "a very fine conversation" and believed he had described it as (Continued on page 4) V ' y!itaiiiW WM'll't1lr-rt Peck Trial Dismissed The trial of Keith Edson Peck, 33, on a charge of negligent homi cide was halted half way through yesterday in Circut Court, and tne indictment against Peck dismissed. The dismissal came on a motion by Peck's attorney, Ben Goddard. Judge David R. Vandenberg said that the district attorney, Frank Alderson, had failed to prove the salient points of the Indictment. Peck was indicted for negligent homicide in connection with the death of Lowell Eugene Wilson, 43, of Dorr Is in an auto wreck Sept. 6. Judge Vandenberg said the pros ecution failed to prove the cause of Wilson's death or when he died, failed to prove that Wilson was alive before the time of the acci dent, failed to prove any excessive speed of the car driven by Feck, and failed to show any negligence in operating trie car. Peck's S3 300 bond was released. The motion to dismiss for lack of proof came at the close of the prosecution testimony, and before any defense testimony was pre sented. Three men were fatally Injured In the wreck: Wilson and Charles H. Sims, 61. of Project City, Calif., who were killed outright, and Al bert H. Jones. 58, ot Cottonwood. Calif., who died a few hours later at Klamath Valley Hospital. A post mortem was penormed onlv on the body of Jones to determine the cause of death. The accident involved Peck's car and a flatbed truck driven by W. C. Farrell, Travis Air Force case, tain. Milkmen To Cut Supply COOS BAY in The Southwest ern Oreeon Milk Producers Asso ciation voted unanimously Wednes day night to withhold milk from the market unless a new milk price hearing is granted within a week. The minimum milk price was cut to 23 cents a quart in the area by a State Milk Marketing Admin istration order Saturday. Monday the new minimum became the cell ing price under an Office of Price Stabilization order. Prior to the new minimum, milk had been selling here in paper cartons in stores for 25 cents a quart and home delivered In bottles for 2 cents. Association directors will meet later to discuss plans for cutting off the supply. They indicated serv ice would continue to schools and hospitals. The association also voted tj ask other Oregon producers to J Jin in demands for new hearings. In 11 counties of the state the new prices were one to three cents under the previously charged retail price for standard milk. QUEEN RECOVERING COPENHAGEN. Denmark (fl Dowager Queen Alexandrine, 73, under went an operation Wednes day night for an Intestinal obstruc tion. Her condition as described aa satisfactory Thursday, No. 2010 Bonneville, Shasta Hay Be Joined Construction of a new 230 kv power transmission line that would probably make both Bonneville and Shasta electricity available here has been proposed by the Califor nia Oregon Power Company. John Boyle. Copco vice president and general manager in Medford, admitted to the Herald and News Monday that Copco had filed a notice of intent for the new line with the Federal Power Commis sion in San Francisco. But Boyle said any public announcement would have to come from the FPC. Queried in San Francisco, FPC spokesmen said they had no know ledge of such an application. , Late yesterday, the announce ment came from Francis Adams, FPC chief in Washington, accord ing to the Associated Press. He said there were two conditions in Copco's transmission, line plan: CONDITIONS 1. The FPC would have to ap prove Copco's plan to build the Big Bend No. 2 hydroelectric pro ject on the Klamath River In Southern Oregon. 2. The FPC would have to ap prove a preliminary permit for another copco dam on Uie Mc- Cloud River in Northern Califor nia. No hearings have been sched uled for either applications. Adams said L. H. Wing, San Francisco regional FPC engineer. is in Washington helping in the study. The transmission line would be a 230-kilovolt line north, from Med ford to Eugene and south from Medford to Copco's No. 1 and 2 dams on the Klamath River In Northern California. From there Copco might extend trie line northeast to Klamath Falls, or south to Delta, Calif., or the company might decide to do both. BIG BEND NO. I If approval Is given for Big Bend No. 2, Copco wants to extend the 230-kilovolt line to Klamath Falls, which is a southern terminus of the Bonneville system. At present only a low-volume Copco line goes to Klamath Falls. If It gets a go-ahead on the Mc- Cloud River project, Copco might extend tne Z30-kv line to tnai proj ect and then on to Delta. Delta Is about 40 miles from the Bureau of Reclamation's Shasta svstem. It also is the present low- voltage inter-tie between Copco and the Pacific Gas and Electric systems. Adams said the company has dis closed no plans to fill the 40-mile gap between Delta and the Shasta project. If the gap were filled in the future, though. It would make the line comparable to the inter-tie proposed previously by the Bureau of Reclamation. Northwest interests opposed the inter-tie on the ground that Califor nia might get most of the benefits from any power lnter-change. The House Appropriations Committee twice rejected plans for the inter tie.

The Air Force said more than 70 buildings were destroyed and 30 more were damaged. The Communist boast about cap turing Seoul came in loud speaker broadcasts along the front. High flying Red planes also made a 'are appearance over the front, shower ing leaiiets saying in effect "Yankee, go home." While Allied officers rnnslrierl the broadcasts one more phase of the Reds' psychological warfare. one officer said the news had spread through Seoul "causing quite a commotion" for awhile. NO SIGNS No signs have been reported that the Communists were massing any where along the front for an offen sive toward Seoul. While fighter-bombers worked over Red concentrations far behind the front. Sabre jets on screening patrol over Northwest Korea shot down one MIO Jet and damaged another, the Air Force said. The downed MIG was bagged by tha hottest Sabre ace now operating In Korea. Lt. James F. Low of Sausallto, Calif., credited with his ninth MIG jet, said it was the roughest dog tight he has had in two tours in Korea, The damaged MIO was credited to Maj. Richard L. Ayersman of Sacramento, Calif., bringing his score to three MIGs destroyed and three damaged. Ground action was light. THREE MIGS Low, who has bagged three MIGs since returning from the U. 8., praised the flying ability of the pilot whose MIO he shot down. "We went through everything in the book and that pilot really knew his stuff," he said. "It was the roughest fight I ever had." Low said he raked the MIO with four machine-gun bursts, and It started to burn. It crashed before the Red pilot could bail out. On the ground, the most pro nounced lull In months settled over me irozen 155-mile battle line. The mercury was 10 degrees above zero. - Far East Air Forcei said 10 B29 Superforts blasted a n officers training headquarters last night at Yongsan in extreme Northwest Korea with "good strikes."
