Many Seek Posts BOISE (UPI)-lt may be late this monln or even next month before Governor-elect CccilAn- drus announces any appoinlment of state department heads.

Andrus will name about 25 officials to run key agencies of government, in addition to membership on several boards and commissions. He said he and his staff still are sifling through recommendations and applications looking for the right persons to fill the posts. He has some 3,000 recommendations and applications. Andrus said (here are "literally dozens" of qualified applicants for the post of commissioner of law enforcement, "Some of the less important posts we've narrowed down to a workable size," he said. HIGHLAND, Wash.

Richard W. Blake, executive vice president of the National Sugarbeet Growers Federation, lold 250 delegates to the National Convention In Richland, that the most Important Issue facing sugarbeet growers Is the extension of the Sugar Act. Blake said the Sugar Act will require Congressional action In 1971, "however the way ahead does not present a placid scene." He pointed to Ihechang- ing political currents as the urban orientation of the national Congress continues to build and the Influence of the cities versus the farm areas continues lo grow. "Sugarbeel growers cannot forget," Blake said, "that whatever we hope to accomplish legislatively depends upon the concurrence of the legislators with our program." According to Blake thefederal sugar program should be changed to give domestic sugar producers, both beet and cane, added protection from the Importation of foreign sugar, stating (hat "the consumers of the United Stales can best be protected in assurance of adequate supplies only if there is a strong and viable domestic sugar industry," In another vein, Blake was extremely critical of the Department of Agriculture in its failure to maintain sugar prices in keeping with the mandate of the Congress and the needs of the sugarbeel growers. Blako said the problem arose when the permitted the importation of too much sugar from foreign countries to enter the United States market late fn (lie year and thus depressing prices which will be fell for some months to come.

He pointed out that any reduction in price is borne principally by the growers and with the tight price cost squeeze facing not only sugarbeet growers but all farmers Ihis Is an "unconscionable situation." He expressed the hope that the Secretary of Agriculture would be more responsive to producers' needs than exemplified by the lack of constructive action the last quarter of 1910. In commenting on the Issue of agriculture labor, Blake said that while sugarbeet growers look forward lo the day when the crop will be completely mechanized, pressures are mounting to unionize farm workers without regard to the workers' own desires or consideration of the special circumstances surrounding the harvest of a year's crop. He pointed to the "completely unjustifiable, unfair and crip, pllng force of thesecondaryboy- cott" used by the Chavez forces in California. He said, "While sugarbeet growers are now paying wages deemed to be fair and reasonable by the Secretary of Agriculture and considerably higher than level set by the Congress for agriculture, sugarbeet growers are receiving their share of intimidation and harassment by various elements of our society who neither care about nor understand the problems of farmers or, for that matter, those of the workers the farmers support." "Nevertheless," Blake continued, "we cannot putourheads in the sand and hope the problem will just go away." In tMs instance he called on sugarbeet growers to be ready to work with other agricultural organizations in the drafting of legislation which would provide some protection against, In Blake's terms "the Insidious secondary boycott and harvest time strikes."

Drug Care Urged BOISE (UPI)-A scientist for the University of Idaho experiment station says dairymen must exercise care in the use of drugs or they may lose the right to use them. Ur. Richard Hall, Caldwell, discussed the problem during a symposium on antibiotics at concluding sessions of Ihe 47th annual convention of the idaho Dairymen's Association WedneS' day. He said a "serious, hard look" must be taken at use of nnlibiotics because of the number of occurrences ot discovery of drug residues in food products.

Increased public concern about pollution and environmental quality should encourage dairymen to take "great care" in the use of drugs. Consumer LOW Today's Weather (Editor's Note: This Is the seventh of several dispatches dealing with the problems that may confront the 41st session of the Idaho Legislature Today; con. sumer protection legislation.) By L1NDY HIGH BOISE (UPI) Idaho's legislators appear uncertain about aspects of consumer protective legislation: what is needed and where enforcement responsibilities should be placed. Rep. Edward Rice, R-Boise, hit the nub of Ihe problem when he called for passage of "basic consumer protection legislation.

Presently, Idaho has no effective legislation to protect consumers. The Iwo laws in existence, the Deceptive Trade Practices Act and the Unfair Sales Acl, are designed to prevent unfair competition and to prevent merchants from selling goods below costs. The attorney general's office proposed legislation during the 40lh session, but while Ihe bill passed the House it did not reach the Senate in time for con. slderalion. Rep.

Terry Ciapo, R-Idaho Falls, House majority leader, said, he plans to re-Introduce the legislation to Ihe 41st session. The attorney general's office has asked for $85,200 for fiscal year 1912 for enforcement of protection and antitrust legislation. But legislators seemed about evenly divided between placing enforcement responsibilities to the attorney general's office or the Department of Law Enforcement. Rep. Art Murphy, D-Mullan, suggested both agencies could do the Job together.

One legislator, who asked that he not be named, suggested local law enforcement agencies as Ihe local place, while another said enforcement responsibilities should placed where necessary, some In the Department of Insurance, some in the Finance Department, or whatever agency is di. rectly affected. Rep. E. Don Copple, R-Boise, called for a separate agency to enforce consumer legislation.

Sen. Editli Miller Klein, R. Boise, said the Department of Law Enforcement would be best since the attorney general's office is "not traditionally an enforcement agency." Both Sen. Klein and Sen. John Mix, D-Moscow, suggested Idaho's legislation be modeled after Ihe Uniform Consumer Credit Code awhlch was studied by an Interim committee.

Sen, Fisher Ellsworth, R-Idaho Falls, said he planned touait for the interim report, but said he felt "considerable change will be needed In this field." Rep. Rudy Anderson, R-Boise, said he felt the 11. S. Pure Food and Drug Law Administrative Acts "should be enough for the present," 1 1 7 UPlWEIINEIFOIOCASTfT 10 SNOW FLURRIES will be found tonight in the mid Plains and portions of the mid Mississippi valley, also in parts of the Ohio ami Tennessee valleys.

I guess everybody knows about the strike and are waiting see what will happen," he said. Railroad officials said refunds will Ije made on portions of tickets unused because of the strike. Pickets went up at the passenger terminals in Pocatello and Boise, and striking railroad wurkers also picketed stockyards and freight depots in both cities.
