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.
Breakdown of the hunt indicated
that the slightly over 1,000 archers
expended 2,604 days hunting or
ever 27 days per deer killed!

HAMMOND, Ind. 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.
