Hold Meeting TORONTO Wl The United Luth eran Convention went into its final session today after approving a record-breaking new budget and closer-knit governing structure for their churcb. The changes in the church gov ernment, bringing its scores of agencies under central control, were seen as setting a far-reaching new pattern in the running of the 2,150,000-member church. "It will make for greater soli darity," said Dr. Franklin Clark Fry of New York, the church pres ident. "It means the total work of the church will have more united impact." Adoption of the revamped pro cedures came yesterday as the cli mactic event of the eight-day bi ennial meeting of more than 1,000 church representatives from the United States and Canada. The church Is America's largest Lutheran body. .-. The changes, still to be ratified by two-thirds of the church's re gional synods, give a 21-member executive board the power of re view and veto over all church wide agencies and officers. These agencies, Including mis sion education, evangelism, lay auxiliaries and many other depart ments, previously have been sub jeet only to control of the conven tion. The convention also adopted a record church budget of $16,221,613 ior the 1956-57 biennium, a 21 per cent ; increase . over ,.jthe ..current figure. - Further cuts In Oregon farmers' j Incomes from wheat already tdown sharply from last year and the year before seem almos: .certain, says M. D. Thomas, exten sion agricultural economist at Ore gon State college. I Production controls and price support provisions of the present federal farm law could result in the 1958 crop bringing little more than half as much as the recorc lo2 crop and U least one-fif'.h less than was expected from 1954 production, the economist explains. Regardless of what happens to supplies, : wheat supports almost certainly will never again provide Ihe purchasing power they have made possibleln recent years, Thomas continues. By I960, sup poit prices lor wheat could be around 70 cents a bushel under the 1954 level if conditions remain as they are now. The new 1954 Aericultural Act. much like the 1949 act. permits wneat supports to drop as low as "6 per cent of parity. It also pro vides for a gradual shift from the' old to the "new" method of fig uring parity, The new method low ers the parity price about 15 per cent nut is limited to steps of 5 per cent a year. Dr. Harold F. Hollands, research economist in the OSC department oi igncuitural economics, is now heading a comprehensive studv oi the wheat industry in the Pacific Northwest. The first phase, just be ing completed, aims to determine the present status of the wheat in- dustry, changes which have oc- cured since 1909 and reasons why me mousiry is in its present po- sinon. The second phase of Dr Hoi. land's study, now underway, con. cerns an appraisal of programs aimed at solving problem'; of the nation's wheat industry. The eco nomic soundness and general ac. ceptabillty of each program to the nation's wheat farmers and city dwellers will be considered. Amonr plans beina studied are uie nexioie price plan, the fixed price support plan, and the two price os certificate plan. The cer. tlficate plan was approved bv the house of representatives but not tne senate at the last session of uongress.

Archery Hunting Results Given Hart mountain Robin Hoods did right well by themselves despite a fire and vivid reports of many wierd happenings. Final figures on the hunt com piled by game commission per sonnel working at the area show that 98 deer were taken. The breakdown showed 41 bucks, 34 does, and 23 fawns making up the take. A total of 1,074 archers checked into the area, and contrary to stories stated that hundreds left when the fire on top of the moun tain started, records show that only two persons failed to check out. These were nonresidents. Largest buck checked out of the area weighed 200 pounds in a dressed condition.

W-The Little Calumet River still swirled perl lously close to the top of sandbag dikes in suburban Highland today. At Plymouth, halfway across northern Indiana, the yellow River crept almost imperceptibly upward toward an expected crest of 17.6 feet. Authorities expected the Little Calumet to drop as the Weather Bureau forecast a day free of rain. But a Red Cross spokesman said the sandbag walls could not stand a rise of more than three or four inches. Hundreds of volunteers worked throughout the night reinforcing the dikes. About 2.000 homes at the south edge of Hammond and in the suburbs of Highland, Muns ter and Dyer had been flooded af ter last weekend's heavy rains. Upstream, near the southwest edge of Gary, the Little Calumet swept through a small farm area, isolating more than 50 families on car tops and roofs. Sheriff Jack West and 21 deputies carried them to safety in three outboard-powered boats. The Red Cross set up a state disaster headquarters at Michigan City, halfway between Hammond and Plymouth, to direct disaster work in both areas. Four hundred families were homeless in Plymouth, a city of 6.700 population, and 200 other homes were flooded around Lake of the Woods, northeast of Ply mouth. Traffic still was banned in Ply mouth, and the schools remained closed. Sandbag dikes protected the electric and water utilities. D, E.
