X Y la The- Day's lews I: By FRANK JENKINS Bread and butler news: Hie Dun it Braastreet wholesale food price Index dropped this week to 1U lowest level since the start of the Korean war. At 16.03 It was U5 oW in u i i . . T. a down 9.8 per cent from a year ago ana stood a: tne lowest pouu since June il, 1950. The Index represents the total cost AT WHOLESALE of one pound each of 31 basis foods. What does it mean? It means that the wholesale food markets are slowly following the primary food markets DOWN WARD. We've been spending a lot ot time and thought ever since the war on how everybody can get MORE V NEY more wages, more profits, etc. Tne time is nearing when we will need to spend some time and .thought or. HOW EVERYBODY CAN GET MORE THINGS FOR 1 HE MONEY HE HAS TO BPEND. Why worry about- that? Well, the market experts told tis the other day that American cotton Is getting so HIGH PRICED that the time may be near when ihe rest of the world will produce all the cotton it needs and won't buy any more high priced Ameri can cotton, i If we go on spending all our . time and thought on how to get more money, the time may come when we will price American goods youi of the world markets. That would be bad. At Lincoln Nebraska yesterday. Congressman Wayne Aspinwall of Colorado told the annual conven ' tlon of the National Reclamation association: "We should keep foremost In our minds that opposition to recla mation, lather than decreasing over the years, has increased. This increase in opposition has come in spite of valiant work by this organization and others inter ested in putting life giving waters to use." He added: "Much of the opposition to fed eral reclamation comes from the HUMID AREAS" that is, the areas that have more water than they can use and want to get rid of it. , Let's take a sharp look at that situation. When surplus water Is taken off wet soli, they call it FLOOD CON- ; TROL and Uncle Bam pays the WHOLE Dill. When water is put on arid soil they call it IRRIGATION and while Uncle Sam advances the money to build Ihe irrigation works the user oi irrigation water fay it back, I'd say thst if the area; thai have loo much water want Uncle Sam to go on paying the whole bill for flood control they'd better ante objecting to Irrigation of arid lands, in which Uncle Sam merely . advances the construction money t.nd- requires the beneficiaries to kepay IT.

Well. Lloyd Gift has made a BILLION blades of grass grow where NONE grew before. He has done it with the magic of Irrigation water. I'm quite sure he has oone more essential service to his country" than ALL the windy and wordy political farmers put to gether.

Ml Vic tor Laurence Wolf faced cross- examination Wednesday on testi mony the state hopes will send the woman he once loved' to the gas chamber. He is the chief prosecution wit ness in the first degree murder trial of Mrs. Marjorie Smith. She is accused of plotting the death of ner husband, permit Smith, a Portland attorney. -, Tuesday Wolf calmly told how- he rigged the bomb which killed the attorney when the latter touched the starter button of his car at a Portland golf course April 21. Mrs. Smith trembled, looked down and daubed at her eyes as Wolf testified. EARLIER ATTEMPTS He also told of two earlier un successful attempts to kill Smith. The 45-year-old handyman was on the witness stand all day. -He told how Mrs. Smith, with whom he was In love I the time, had asked him to kill tier husband for his estate, valued at $50,000 to 460,000. rjie saidJife agreed to the plan, pic-ividlng'vshi would be with him aft, the T'ajlng.

This plan failed when Smith beat him off in the dark,-he said. Then Mrs. Smith suggested the automobile bomb. Wolf said. The first time he set the car bomb, the wire apparently grounded and the 10 sticks of dynamite didn't deton ate, he said. ; - -SUCCESS On the next attempt, the success ful one, he used sticks of dyna mite. When asked why the amount was increased, he said: "She was afraid 10 might not be enough and she didn't want a cripple on her hands the rest of her life." Mrs.- Smith, who never once looked at her accuser, went rigid as Wolf made that statement, and there was a buzz in the crowded courtroom. Her attorneys, who tried to have Wolf declared insane and Incom petent to testily, have said they will attempt to prove that Wolf was in love with Mrs. Smith but that bis love later turned tn hate.

The fatal shooting of Appelgate Dulles Urges 'Durable' Peace Plan GENEVA (UP) Secretary of Stat John Foster Dulles arrived here today in a mood of concilia tion for the Big Four foreign min isters' meeting, "We will seek the necessary conciliation to achieve the con- , structive elements of a just and durable peace," he said. , Dulles arrived from Paris where he had met with the foreign min. Isters of France, Britain and Is rael to prepare for the Big Four meeting and discuss the growing crisis In the Middle East. Dulles maue his statement shortly after arriving at Cointrlrt Airport. He already had been pre ceded here by Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov and Brit, ish Foreign Secretary Harold Mac Millan. French Foreign Minister Antolne Pinay was en route by train for tomorrow's opening ses sion. CONFERENCES The Western delegates. In a series of last minute conferences in Paris, had searched for a new cold war settlement. 'On arrival. Molotov said Russia is "inspired by a sincere desire to end the cold war." MacMUlan said that he trusted the Big Four's "woik will be fruitful in Uie cause of peace and Ihe settlement of the many diffi cult problems that beset Europe." Dulles arrived to note that "the spirit ot Geneva has become Identical with the hopes of all the world." "It Is in that spirit that we meet hnrt to carry out the directives given us by the beads of govern ment. " ASKS BELP Dulles was accompanied by & host of American officials, Includ ing Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson and Charles E. Bohlen, U. S. ambassador to the Soviet Union. Before he left Paris, Dulles talked with Israeli Premier Moshe Sharett about Israel's request for help against growing Arab strength. Israeli officials said Sharett'a talk with Dulles concerned Israel's request for arms and guarantees i of its present frontiers. ' Tne "spirit of Qeneva" was - j fading tasl. There was only alight obtlmism that this -meeting would achieve Anything, more than keep ... Ing the talks-going, something that both sides agreed was immensely preferable to a hot atomic war. The ministers exjftcted to meet for three weeks, and unless some one pulled a major surprise, dip lomats already tn Geneva be lieved the meeting meacly would pave the way for another Big Four session early next year. THREE ISSUES On Its program the conference had the three main issues with which the Big Four heads of state wrestled with for a week In July German reunification, European security and disarmament. But the sudden crisis in Ihe Middle East ppeared likely to vary the old routine. Since last summer's summit meeting, new- flareup in the Middle East tinder box was threat ened by Communist Czechoslova kia's sale of arms to Egypt snd Saudi Arabia. Sharett was hurrying here to morrow to draw the Big Four ministers attention to this new threst. The threat of Middle Eastern :ms race was not on the sgenda but it threatened to become major issue if behind the scenes one. climaxed a night In which Reyes and Jose DeMasa. 21, also of Son Francisco, broke out of the Eugene Jail by holding up a Jailer wun a gun which Reyes had concealed on his person, state police sold. They took a drputy's car and en route to Corvallls flagged down a car containing Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Llttlefleld ol Medlord, and their three daughters. The fugitives locked the Little Melds In the deputy's car and sped on to Corvallls In the Llttlefleld car. DeMasa was captured after Reyes smashed the car Into a tree at Corvallls. Reyes got away on foot and was attempting to hold up the Appelgate family lor anoth er getaway t-Br when the Isfol wounding of Appelgate occurred. Reyes was token under heavy guard to a Salem hospital for treatment of his arm wound, then was '-ooked Into Jail at Salem on a charge of murder. Earlier,- before Appelgate died, charges of assault with Intent to kill had been filed at Corvallls against Reve-i. The formal charge of the killing was to be filed laler Wednesdav after Reyes' transfer to Jail at Corvallls. DeMasa was returned to Eugene and decision was expected later In the dav whether to add to the car theft charge against him.
