In The By FRANK JENKINS World problems stuff: Our Secretary Dulles tells the Big Four foreign ministers con' ference this morning that the U.S. Is acting to eliminate passport re strictions for Americans traveling In the Soviet Union and in Eastern Europe. . He urged Russia to lower bar Tiers similarly against mutual trav el in the knowledge that RUSSIANS AND AMERICANS NEVER HAVE FOUGHT EACH OTHER and have a solid basis for good will. What Dulles says Is true. Russians and Americans never lave fought each other. In several difficult situations ' while we were growing up from 13 struggling little states into a great nation Russia has given us J help that was as effective as the ff help France gave us during our j Revolutionary war. ' If left to themselves, the Ameri can people and the Russian people NEVER WOULD FIGHT EACH OTHER. What Dulles meant riut left unsaid because It would ruffle the feathers of the Kremlin crowd the wrong way is that the threat of war between our two countries is moto real hir th rflMMTIHTST i Day's lews OVERLORDS or Russia, g The purpose of Russia's commu--, nist overlords is to make this a ( COMMUNIST WORLD. Free Amer- ica will never submit to such a (( fate. We'll die fighting first. .

Economy problems stuff: ' President Eisenhower has ap ,f proved plans to ask congress again j next January for Increased postal jf rates. ' The President gave his approval to the plans, of Postmaster Gen eral Summerfleld, who wants to wipe out a postal deficit that " amounts to about a half billion dollars per year. . How do YOU feel about it? I presume it depends on whether you'd rather pay your share of the " deficit out of your stamp pocket or out of your tax pocket. It will have to be done one way or the other. There are no magic wands. Charles Shuman. head of the American Farm Bureau Federa tlon. says today in a speech in Chicago that development of CON- : 6UMER markets is the answer to the problem of falling farm prices. Government price support, he said, is NOT the answer. He added: y "Farmers are presently con cerned about the low prices of : hogs. "But ' "What we must avoid are gov - ernment price policies that PRE VENT normal economic adjust ments." Again, as in the case of Dulles, we must explain what he means. . He Is referring to the hog price situation of a year or more ago. Hog prices then were high. So - Hog farmers rushed In to RAISE MORE PIGS so as to take advan i tsge of the high price of pork. They raised so MANY pics that they broke the market. Because of ovcrsupply, hog prices are now too low. This Is the point: If the government buys up the HIGH, the hog farmers will go An 1-slcitMT trn mam, nine year. The result of that will be a permanent surplus of pork to fill urc uvciillllcil Will CliUUncs W U1C bursting point ana hang like a dark thundercloud over the hog markets of the future. That's the long and the short of it. A -it H Crater Lake Gets Snowfall Snow has been falling in Crater Lake National Park for the last 18 hours, according to the ranger station.

OREGON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1S5S Telephone 1111 No. 3315 ' Dike jades Postal Me Up Pacific Northwest Wheat m& M For -.Cfewfe-To Expand Their Markets - By OVID MtRTIN ' Associated Press Farm Writer PENDLETON. W Spokesmen for wheat grower i .In the Pacific Northwest appealed Monday for a chance to expand their markets at home and abroad. Thev declared that present fed eral farm programs, are pulling down. Income and driving produc ers from the land because of an Unadequate sales program, restric tions on production, and reduced prices. . , - . In a statement prepared for Senate : Agriculture Committee hearing, A. Lars Nelson, master of the Washington State Grange, called for a multiple price plan for wheat. Under such a plan, wheat, grown for domestic food consumption would be supported at full parity prices. The domestic market would be apportioned among growers. But they would be free to produce additional ' wheat for export and for sale at home as livestock feed at ..whatever prices they could get. In a similar statement, Jack L. Smith, farmer of' Gilliam. County, Ore., representing the Oregon Wheat Growers League, said such a program would Increase use of wheat for feed from ' 100 million to 250 million bushels a year. Such fn Increase would allow an expan sion of from 10 to 20 per cent In present wneat production levels. Nelson, who: also spoke - for the Oregon Grange, said the multiple price plan Is favored . by dairy men, ' poultrymen, - livestock pro ducers, ana iruit raisers,, as. well as grain producers. Criticizing the- Eisenhower- ad ministration flexible support pro gram, the grange leader declared, "We want SO-per cent- of parity for all-out production if we can't get the multiple price plan. "We need action, not promises, not some political stopgap solutions to our many Ills, but a basic adjustment carefully tailored Into a program which will give agri culture equal parity In the market place," Nelson said. -Ben Johnson, farmer-lawyer of Preston, Idaho, - criticized provi sions of a present farm law authorizing a shift to a so-called modernized parity price formula -BULLETIN- LONDON (UP) A royal an nouncement said tonight that Princess Margaret will not wed F Group Capt. reter Town send. The announcement came from Elizabeth Heme, the official residence of the Prlnceea and Queen Mother Elizabeth. It ended two and a half years of speculation which roee to fever pitch after the Prlnceai' 25th .birthday In August and Townsend'a return from "exile" as air attache at the British Embassy In Brussels early this month. The announcement meant that Margaret gave op Towntend for doty. In, an unprecedented personal statement, Margaret id: "I would like It te be known that I have decided not to marry Group Captain Peter Townsend." . She was nervous as she began ner testimony last Friday and she broke Into tears as she told of events leading up to her husband's death. But her confidence returned as :-he told the jury of nine men and three women of the early years of ner ine. ; She spoke of her childhood at Crockett, Calif., of being a student at episcopalian schools at Tacoma Wash., and Portland, and of her high school and college training in rortiana. t .

'To force the farmer to live In an economy where agriculture re ceives less ana less of the national income, while the increased popu lation Is receiving a better food supply, is economically unsound and drives the people off the farm," Johnson said. Paulen W. Kasebere of Wasco County, Ore., saM It is difficult (or the farmer to understand 'how the parity price of wheat can be falling when his implement dealer tells him that implement parts have taken a 15 per cent raise due to an increase in the price of steel. Kasebere said that without a change in farm law, wheat farm ers cannot for many years expect to receive more than 75 per cent of parity because of the Influence of a big surplus on price supports unaer tne flexible system. Earlier- Ben. Ellender (D-La) chairman of the committee, said he saw no chance of the -problem of low farm Income being solved oy larm price supports alone. This was his view, he said. whether they be high price sup ports being advocated by some leader of his party, or the Eisen hower administration's flexible supports. Supports under the pres ent system are costing nearly one billion dollars a year. Supports, Ellender added, must be accompanied by other measures designed to help dispose of sur pluses, to control production, and to lane some lana out of produc tion. - . Explaining . he did not wish to pre-Judge results of the hearings which' also .will be taken in the Southwest,., the Bourn and. the Northeast Ellender said that one thing stands out from last. week's hearings and that is "that neither flexible nor rigid price suports. in themselves, will solve the farm problem." He said the Midwestern hearlhgs showed that "we must find a way to dispose oi surpluses to the point where they will not depress our market. "The evidence further shows thai our producing acreage must be reduced so as not to further aggravate our surpluses." He suggested" payments by the government to , farmers for land made idle. The chairman referred to pleas of the Farmers Union tor 100 per cent of parity price supports, but said that no one gave the com mittee a "useable formula" for supports at that level. Parity is a standard for meas uring farm prices declared by law to be fair to the farmer in relation to prices he must pay. The hearing was expected to bring recommendations for a two price system for wheat. Under such 'a system which has been advocated by the national grange, which - is strong in the Pacific Northwest wheat grown for do mestic food consumption would be supported at full parity. .

Dr. Judd Marmor told a meet ing of psychiatrists yesterday that "realistic worry In the face of danger or distress Is the mark of healthy mind."
