Many Japanese Citizens Sample Oregon Wheat A number of Japanese roidents are today sampling products made from Orecon-piown wheat, thanks to the eflorts ot the Oregon Wheat Commission. Morris Wilson. Condon, vice chairman of the Oreson Wheal Commission, brouqht this point out in a recent visit to the Herald and .News newsroom. Wilson recently visited the Klain- glh Basin area to talk to wheal growers around Basin points. The Japanese program is car ried out hy 12 kitchen-type buses which move Irom community to community tn Japan passing out wheat samples. Objective of the program is to introduce wheat prod ucts into the staple diet of the Japanese. The program is financed by the Dragon growers and is carried rut under a contract with the U.S. pepartment of Agriculture. r MORRIS WILSON Angler Dines On Bear Meat WAKAYAMA, Japan (UPI) Fisherman Ryotaro Okado. 39. dined today on bear steak, but it was touch and go for a while. Okado went fishing alone in the middle of Bear Bay. A 245-pound 'black bear had the same idea. He might have been lonesome for he climbed into Okado's boat. Okado climbed out and began twimming for the shore. The bear followed. Then three other fishermen raced to the rescue waving oars. The bear climbed into their boat. They climbed out and began swimming for the shore. The bear followed. They scrambled ashore and ran into reinforcements of 50 other fishermen armed with harpoons. There was bear steak for all today. Wilson pointed with pride to the fact that Oregon's wheat surplus was the best of any state raising wheat. 'Our surplus," he said "represents only about nine per cent of the nation's total surplus Currently. Oregon's surplus is the best handled of all." Speaking of the surplus. Wilson emphasized that the nation has enough surplus wheat right now to supply all the eating require ments of this country for the net two years. The Wheat Commission, created by the 1947 stale Legislature, is financed by a levy of one-half per cent per bushel on all wheat en tering commercial channels in Oregon. This money in turn is used hv the commission to work on Ihe many problems of the wheat farm er and industry. Freight rales represent one of Ihe major areas where the com mission has effected great savings tor wheat growers in Oregon. Wil son estimated that the savings in ireicnt rates alone would approxi mate over $7Ufl.0(K). in addition 10 ine nils program in Japan, three other projects are also being carried out through the cooperation of the Japanese gov eminent. The school lunch program of Japanese children has been exnand ed and includes a hot dish, bowl of powdered milk and a large wheat roll. Other programs include training ol extension workers, establish ment of the bakers' training school in Tokyo, and extensive advertis ing and promotional campaigns. home of the money of Ihe com mission also goes into research into new uses for the wheat crop. Com mission funds are used in wheat research at Oregon Slate College: experiment stations in Eastern Ore gon, the Western Wheal Quality Laboratory at Pullman. Washing ton, and at USDA regional labo ratories. Activities of the Oregon Wheat Growers League also gel commis sion support. Matters of taxation and legislation, youth activities. federal agricultural programs. marketing and many others get commission assistance. The makeup of Ihe current Ore gon Wheat Commission consists of five appointed directors. Three of these are from the Columbia Ba sin. and one each from Eastern Oregon and Western Oregon.

The former vice president of the I nited Slates is getting set for a king-sized birthday celebration, including a barbecue and a big cake with maybe one candle standing lor all those years. The invitation list includes such names as James A. Karlcy and House Speaker Sam Rayburn iD lcxi. And Garner is happily look ing forward to another reunion wilh many of his old political pals and proteges. The years, of course, have slowed down Garner's once gal loping routine. "Don't hurry, don't worry, says the motto hanging in his workroom. And he doesn't don his wool hunting britches and go chasing after deer on his birth day anymore. "I know my age." he says. ' When you get to be nearly m), our hunting and fishing days are over." Garner's only remaining sport is baseball on television. Back in his Washington days. Garner went to the ball games as ollen as he could. I always look one Democrat and one Republican to sit in the box with me. That wav. nnhoriv could say il was politics." " hisky-drmking. cigar-chewmo Caclus Jack was a blunt-tongiied quick-tempered fellow in Wash ington. He pounded four gavels to splinters during his first week as sjieaker of the House. After he became vice president. he called himself Ihe "spare tire of the government," and he kept his mouth shut in public. I never talk about national af- lairs. he used lo say during his two terms as vice president (1932 1040). "I leave that lo the boss DUGAN & MEST USED CARS HAVE MOVED to 6th and Plum i Franklin D. Roosevelt). The Roosevelt-Garner friendship survived Garner's acid comments about Roosevelt's spending, pro posal to pack the Supreme Court and recognition of the Soviet Un ion. But the two split wide apart over Roosevelt's third term. "A president in his third and successive terms may not be a dictator, hut he is Ihe first cou sin or nan-oroiner ol one and he will perform like one," said Gar ner. Mrs. Gainer died in 19-ifl and Garner lives alone but he is! not lonely. He still has numerous1 visitors, some townsfolk and oth-, ers just travelers. i They drive under the towering oak and pecan trees, walk through the gale, and knock on Ihe door of Ihe little white house where Garner lives behind the ga rage. He has given the red brick house he built for Mrs. Garner to the town of Uvalde. "Come in." hollers Garner from his battered old deskJiy the front window. i In 1!)52, Gamer supported Adlai Stevenson and in 1934. Ihe former Vice President appeared wilh Na tional Democratic Chairman Paul Buller, who was trying to patch up a party fight in Texas. But he has made no political statements in recent years al though he never misses a chance to vole. And Garner's partisanship has definite limits. "I dearly love the Democralic party, but 1 .love my country more." he says. Garner was born in a log cabin on Nov. 22. 1868. but he built him self a fortune in ranching, real estate and banking. He cut his last connection with business in 1954 when he retired as director of Uvalde's First Stale Bank. "Just put me on the lazv. no- account list."
