Big German Food Plan Announced BONN, Germany, lift A vast project -to boost food production in West Germany is ready to go into operation. Known as the Lucbke plan, it calls for thorough and speedy me chanization of arms, construction of more modern farm houses, barns and silos, and intensified use of waste land throughout the coun try. The plan also aims at consolidat ing the scattered plots owned by many farmers Into unbroken fields better adapted to machinery. And Jt calls for better educated farm ers with more up-to-date agricul tural knowledge. To pay for all tills. West Ger many's new minister of Food,' Agri culture and Forestry, Dr. Heinrlch Luebke, advocates easing the tax burden for farmers and giving more and cheaper long-term farm Joans. Prom 1945 to 1948, West Ger many Imported roughly 70 per cent of all Its food. Since then, agri cultural production has soared and today is 16 per cent, above the pre war level. r Nevertheless, densely populated, highly industrialized West Ger many still consumes 3ft per cent more food than her farms produce. Closing of this gap Is the ultimate aim of the Luebke plan. Increasing farm production in Germany is a problem that at first algbt appears almost unsolvable. Virtually every square yard of fer tile soil already is being tilled, and the problem Is mainly one of In tensifying production by boosting the yield per acre a long and costly process. One of West Germany's foremost agricultural experts, Dr. Andreas Hermes, who heads the powerful German Farmers Union, endorses the Luebke plan wholeheartedly. It will require a lot of money, pa tience and utmost caution, he says. His experts estimate that 10 years will be necessary and that the cost probably will exceed six billion dollars. The cost factor will, in it self, compel the government to go slow in view of the scarcity of capital in West Germany today. Some quarters advocate elimln. I atlng small farms entirely and al. lowing them to be absorbed by the Dig ones wnicn operate more effi ciently. Neither Luebke nor Hermes will consider such a radical solution. Both believe the small farm, as a family enterprise, is Justified. They say the small farmer should con centrate on specialized products, however, and Sjtop trying to com pete with the, big fellows. The farmers themselves are not enthusiastic ovef the Luebke plan. Traditionally conservative, most would prefer to keen thlnns the way they are -unless they are ahown they can profit from a change.

It Is to be presumed that New Dealers Jackson and Magnuson felt that It would be better Demo cratic politics to go against the President than to back him up. Why did Senator Morse vote as he did? I don't know. Nobody EVER knows Just why Senator Morse does what he does. But I suspect tnat he voted for rigid high sup- ports for the . five basic crops (which are not too important in Oregon) because President Eisen hower Is FOR the principle of flexibility. . Morse was one of the original s U P P o r t e r s of the Eisenhower movement. But at the Republican convention in 1952 something hap pened that turned him AGAINST IKE. He has been against him ever since. Why, only Senator Morse knows. Weather Jet Engineers Hold Meetings SEATTLE Ifl The men who design and build America's Jet airplane engines took stock of their work Tuesday and pronounced the progress encouraging with great obstacles yet to be overcome. And here, at the "national tur bine powered air transportation meeting" of the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences, there was a surprising emphasis on a some what less glamorous cousin of the pure Jet engine the turbo-prop, a design in which Jet turbine en gines are used to drive propellers. Said Harold B. Crockett of Bur bank, Calif., research specialist lor Lockheed Aircraft Corp.; "The turbo-prop engine design was a logical step after tile suc cessful development of the turbo jet engine." Lt. Gen. Joseph Smith, com mander of the Military Air Trans port Service announced that MATS haa started service-testing of turbo prop modifications of six piston engine planes two Super Constel lations, two Boeing C7 Strato freighters and two C131 Convalrs. 8mlth said MATS anticipates Its air freighters of the future will be turbo-prop powered, but that Its passenger transports will be all-Jet. Boeing engineers O. 8. Schairer and M. L. Olason presented stu dies showing that Jet airplanes have a 40 per cent better per formance after takeoff than their piston engine counterparts, fcS ,r '.V t , XH19k..ii.. m CHICAGO GRAIN CHICAGO lift Grains went through a, nervous session on the board of trade Tuesday prior to issuance of a government crop re port which was expected to reduce corn, spring wheat and soybean production estimates. They opened lower, rallied strongly and then sold off ntrnln before the close. Selling pressure was based on receipt of more rain in tne Midwest and Senate ap proval of flexible price supports for 1955 crops. Buying came from export business in corn and soy beans.

Fall River, Redding, Alturas and Lake- view will meet with the KASRU group at 6 a.m. Standard Time at the Mentl-Newlun hangar at the airport. The entire group will fly to Mod ford for breakfast by 6:30; thence to Grants Pass, Roseburg and. if there Is no fog, to North Bend, pick ing up additional planes at each stop. If early-morning fog prevents landing, North Bend planes win leave Saturday evening and meet at Roseburg. All planes will continue up the coast to Pacific City, arriving by 11 for the no-host dinner. The airstrip is newly completed and is hard surfaced, according to Ben Burgess, KASRU program chairman. More than 200 planes are expect ed In attendance, and fliers may take fishing poles and fish if they wish. Annuel Lakeview Rant Sale Slated The 14th annual southern Oregon Ram Sale will be held at Lake- view, September 13, according to John Withers, committee chairman. Arrangements have been com pleted for over 250 selected rams including the breeds needed in Southern Oregon. Nevada and Northeastern California. The sale is sponsored by the Fre mont Sheepmen's Association for the benefit of the livestock Indus try. Information may be obtained by contacting that group at P.O. Box 1109. Lakeview, Oregon. Col. Earl Walter, Filer, Ida., will again be the auctioneer. He has cried every sale since its start in Lakeview. Sale date tans on Mon day and all rams will be at the Lake County Fairgrounds a day early. State Offers (Continued from page 1) If the city does, it will still have some problems to iron out such as, where to find $25,000 its share of the cost of signals. City Attorney Henry Perkins flatly dis counted Mayor Paul Landry's hope of using gas tax money for the project. In other business, council was urged to prompt action on several rezoning requests, presented at previous meetings. Ted Wright and A. O. Bebout have requested rezoning of a few blocks at the north end of town to permit construction of a motel: Don Sloan urged faster action on the Eldorado Heights area rezon ing request which will allow for a neighborhood shopping center and aid development of that area; the American Legion is eager for ac tion on its request to rezone prop erty on Eighth Street (where the new clubhouse is located) to ac commodate a bar. Council will probably amend the present ordinance to differentiate between a restrictive shopping dis trict (which Sloan wants) and a downtown shopping district, thus setting up a fifth zone. It also will probably rezone an entire half block on Eighth Street to conform with the half already in a business zone. This will include three resi dences. The first two rezoning requests nave Deen reterred to the planning commission.

BARRETT WASHINGTON W) A farmer can now net a tax cut by building himself a pond. ... or digging a ditch. This Is one of the special effects of the huge tax revision law. In passing out scores of tax benefits, Congress didn't forget the farmer in this congressional election year. The law permits a farmer to de duct from his income, on tax re turns, many outlays for soli or water conservation. Even at the minimum 20 per cent tax rate, each slOO in pew deductions means a tax cut of $20. The deductions for that purpose are limited in any one year to 25 per cent of the taxpayer's gross income from farming. Note that if you have income aside from farming, you can't deduct 25 per cent of your total income. If you spend more than 25 per cent of your farm income for soil or water conservation in any one year, you can carry forward the amount over 25 per cent and de duct it on your return the next year. You can keep on carrying these expenditures' forward many years as needed to get your full deduction but you still can't deduct more than 25 per cent of farm Income in any one year, BIRTHS HILL Born to Mr. and Mrs. Gene ill.

Like "reading, Writing and'Yithmetia" . these 3-Rs play a major part in our lives. And their significance is even greater today because of actions and political decision which threaten their full poten tials. The Columbia and Snake Riv ers flow along approximately 400 miles of the borders of Eastern Oregon. Full development of this river resource ia a great chal lenge to our ingenuity and fore sight. Taking full advantage of the many uses to which our riv ers can be put will open new horizons of industrial and eco nomic growth. But during the past 18 months Attempts have been made through administration policy te reduce full development, to turn our river heritage over to special interests under the disguise of "partnership." This masquerade is the opposite of the program . for "one river one plan" which brought about construction of Bonneville, The Dalles, McNary and Grand Coulee dams a pro gram which launched an indus trial revolution in the Pacific Northwest with more business, more jobs, more home markets for farm products through low cost power. Sen. William Langer of North Dakota said the administration's new power policy "does not mean turning back the clock, it means throwing it out the window." That is correct. We of Eastern Oregon can go forward to a bet ter future through developing the rivers aa at unit, or we can scuttle future prosperity by ac cepting the McKav administra tion's piece-meal willy-nilly ap proach of dividing the river up among special interests. The lat ter will mean higher cost power, less industry and fewer Jobs. The ballot box and the fuse box are inseparable. The way you vote will determine whether Eastern Oregon enjoys FULL development of its water powtr potential. Next week I will discuss Ranches and Resources ... but remember ... , Now is the time to start talk ing with your friends about this threat to growth. See that they register by October 2 and vote Democratic November 2. Listen in . AI Ullmon , on KFJI ;. k 7:45 P.M. - ' .-y. Wed. Phone 5471 Paid for by VUman for jCon ffrttt Comntf(e.
