Nationwide Rush for Dwindling Meat Supplies (By the Associated Press) Journal, Salem, Saturday, March 27, 1943 Long lines of would-be meat shoppers formed in today's predawn darkness in some cities to lead a virtually nationwide rush for the dwindling supplies remaining before rationing control is Imposed next Monday. morning rushes have been common occurrences in recent weeks but none, perhaps, equal- Profit Cashing Halts Stock Rise New York, March 27 (P)-- -Profit cashing in the stock market today stemmed the 5-session sprint to peak levels in nearly three years on the largest volumes in more than 15 months. While favorites continued to attract idle speculative and investment funds, the sharp ad-vance caused some potential buyers to withdraw. Trends were a bit cloudy at "the start and toward the last "mild irregularly was the rule. "Transfers were in the neighborhood of 800,000 shares.

A few "penny" stocks apparently were chilled by the exchange ruling, announced after Friday's close, barring margin trading, as of April 1, in issues selling at $5 a share or under, but 1 the majority was undisturbed. In the "new high" class were Glenn Martin, U. S. Rubber, Sears Roebuck, Oliver Farm, Dow Chemical, Johns-Manville, Loew's and American Sugar. Laggards included U.

S. Steel, -Bethlehem, Chrysler, American Telephone, Goodyear, and Western Union. Bonds and commodities were uneven. Narrow Range Grain Futures Chicago, March 27 (U.P)-Grain futures moved within a narrow -price range on the board of trade "awaited news on the Bankhead bill. Wheat finished the day off to cent a bushel; corn was -unchanged, oats up to and rye off to A pit observer estimated that with the demand for feed plus -the industrial alcohol needs, The 100.000,000 bushels of feed wheat now availcable will be taken in a short time, further reducing the surplus.

Eastern trade circles reported an active demand for governthent feed wheat and said they believed fairly liberal sales were made overnight. Eastern feed manufacturers expressed over the relatively higher price they must pay as compared with plants in the east. Trading in the corn pit consisted only of exchanging May and July at even money and May and September at cents a bushel difference. Country offerings remained small. A fair shipping demand for oats helped to hold prices close to yesterday's level.

Rye followed the trend of wheat in moderate trade. Salem Girl Wins Oratorical Contest Salem high's top orator, Jane Huston, added another win to her record at Corvallis this week when she won the district American Legion oratorical contest in competition against students from Eugene, Lebanon and Dallas. This was the sixth year the Legion has sponsored oratory contests on the federal constitution within the different states of the United States, culminating in a national tournament. Huston's oration was based on the woman suffrage amendment and was entitled Faith." The speech coach at the high school, R. M.

Murphy, has an-nounced that the Salem entrant Will compete for regional honors next Tuesday evening at Oregon College of Education. The winner will be one of the five finalists who will enter the state meet, April 17. Beaverton Girls Have Narrow Escape Portland.

Venezuela has a plan to prothele sewer and water systems communities in the It ist having any. pound led the frenzy displayed in some Ohio cities today. At Columbus, where customers lines began forming as early as 1:30 a.m., 18 policemen were sent to one market to control the crowd. And in Cleveland an estimated 50,000 persons milled around three major markets, delaying street car traffic from 20 minutes to an hour, and bringing from Frank C.

Jeroski, city commissioner of markets, the observation that "people have just gone crazy." There, as elsewhere, many were disappointed. There simply wasn't enough meat to go around. In fact, some markets didn't even open. Many officials took the view that some people were buying more than they needed and that much of it would spoil before it could be used. In Chicago, Dr.

Herman N. Bundesen, board of health president for that city, cautioned housewives that home refrigeration may not be cold enough for meat storage, and packers, echoing that view, urged people "to cat what meat you have now." Predictions from some sectors that no meat would be available when rationing begins were countered by reports from other areas of steps to assure supplies Monday morning. New Yorkers, for instance, were promised a shipment of 1,000,000 pounds under emergency arrangements completed by Mayor Fiorello LaGuardian and the regional OPA office. Usually -busy Washington market, in New York, the city's chief wholesale meat distribution center, was virtually deserted today. An OPA order at Atlanta last week permitting increased slaughtering in 62 counties in the southeastern region brought reports today of a "considerable easing" of the meat shortage.

All of today's heavy buying was not confined to meat, however. Chicago reported a great run on fish at its Fulton street wholesale market and fresh fish isn't even rationed. Most western cities, where a meat scarcity has kept butchers' counters clean for several weeks, a buying rush that had run through the week was still on--at shops where meat was available. Klamath Basin Will Plant Heavily The Klamath basin will experience the heaviest plantings of potatoes in history this son if present indications hold, Director J. D.

Mickle of the state department of agriculture reported Friday morning upon return from Klamath Falls and southern Oregon points. Based on present conditions, fruit men in the Rogue river valley predict a bumper crop for this fall--though this look could be upset casily by severe rains or heavy frosts. Mickle said that as near as he could tell, there has been some shifting of dairy cattle in the section of the state he has just visited, but that the general production of dairy products is up to last year's huge volume. A shrinkage in butter output has been compensated for by increase in cheese production, the shift to cheese being made because the price is more favorable. Burbanks Shipped For Seed Purposes Lebanon.

March 27 Roy Fitzwater of the Tennessee district has shipped out of Lebanon the first carload of certified Oregon Burbank seed potatoes. Vrey few seed potatoes have been grown in Linn county the past 20 years, and these have been mostly used locally. Certain lands here, according to Fitzwater, are ideally suited for the crop, Prior to 1920 he used to contract for considerable amounts of seed potatoes to be shipped out of Lebanon. His shipment was declared by government inspectors to be about as perfect as any they had inspected. Mr.

Fitzwater has more potatoes and Willis Carter also has a few of the certified Burbanks, but these will be sold locally, he said. The potato growing industry is looking up here since the new Spencer Packing company dehydrator is to be operated this coming year.

Timulty and Superintendent Edward W. Fallon, were indicted today by a special Suffolk county grand jury on charges of conspiracy to permit the operation of gaming houses and the registration of bets. Timulty appeared before the jury yesterday as did Dr. Harry J. Sagansky, now serving a prisentence for operating a $90,000,000 pool.

Besides Timulty and Fallon, those named in the indictment which was reported to Chief Justice John P. Higgins, were: Deputy Superintendent James R. Claflin, Deputy Superintendent John M. Anderson, Captain John A. Dorsey, Captain Edward J.

Keating and Sergeant Arthur Eunson. The men were arraigned before Chief Justice Higgins. As the indictment clerk began to read the charges contained in the indictment, Attorney Francis Leahy, counsel for Timulty, asked that the reading of the complaint be waived and this was granted against all the defendants. All pleaded innocent. The seven defendants were released in $2.000 bail each, personal recognizance, for trial on Monday morning.

Asks Prosecution For Defective Steel Washington, March 27 (U.P.). Sen. Harry S. Truman Mo.) today asked Attorney General Francis Biddle to take action against the United States Steel individuals "regarding falsification of records and testings" of defective steel plate supplied for war uses. In a letter to Biddle, Truman said that he had made available to the department of justice all files, evidence and data on the matter gathered by his special senate committee investigating the war program.

Officials of the corporation admitted at a hearing of the committee last Tuesday that defective steel plate had been turned out by the Carnegie-Illinois Steel company, a subsidlary. Steps have been taken to correct this situation, they said. Sale Prices High Scio-Average price of cows at the Owens auction sale near Lebanon a few days ago is reported as approximately $173. Scioans attending the sale state that all kinds of farm machincry, regardless of condition. brought surprisingly high prices.

No sheep were offered. Prune Thrips Now Emerging Prune thrips are now emerging rapidly in prune orchards. The peak of emergence should be reached by early next week. Spraying should be done at once announces Robert E. Rieder, county agricultural agent.

Since the infestations will vary in individual orchards, prune growers wishing to spray for the control of this pest should examine at least 300 buds at random in their orchard and count the thrips present. If there are 90 or more thrips per 100 buds, a spray should be applied immediately, or as soon as the weather will permit. The following spray material is recommended: Nicotine sulfate, 1 pint. Lime sulfur, 3 gallons, Water to make 100 gallons of spray, Thrips are likely to be found on any part of the prune tree. They must be hit by the spray to kill Spraying must therefore be thorough and every part of the tree should be reached.

A driving coarse spray with at least 350 pounds pressure is advised by County Agent Rieder, to force the spray into the opening buds. Camporee to Be Held May 14 Cascade area council, Boy Scouts of America, will sponsor the annual camporee May 14, 15 and 16 in Salem with Harry Scott, camping activity chairman, in charge of the affair. The usual program of scouting activities will be included in the three program. Lyle L. Leighton, who took over the position of scout executive for the area recently, plans to visit the five area districts as soon as possible.

The first meeting is to be held in Stayton, April 5. Leighton will meet with the Linn district at Albany, April Polk district, April 12 at Dallas; Silver Falls district, April 15 in Mt. Angel; Santiam district, April 19 at Lebanon. At a recently quarterly meeting of the executive board of the area attendance included Harry W. Scott, Frank B.

Wickard announced today that administration of the meat restriction order, which fixes the amount of meat livestock slaughterers may distribute for civilian use on a quarterly quota basis, will be transferred from the office of price administration to the food administration effective April 1, At the same time the agriculture department announced that quota slaughterers must limit deliveries to civilians in the second quarter of 1943 to the following percentages of deliveries in the corresponding period of 1942: Beef, 65 per cent: pork, 75 per cent; lamb and mutton, 70 per cent; and veal, 65 per cent. Rear Admiral K. Turner (above) service medal from a position of great forces of occupation The Hop Market Domestic hop markets remained quiet during the past four weeks with prices at eastern centers holding steady and unchanged, the department of agriculture reports.

The principal feature of the hop situation, and of the greatest importance to producers, was the announcement during the past week that hops have been placed on the list of essential commodities. Two other decisions, however, are being awaited anxiously by the entire industry. One is regarding the release of older growths, particularly 1940 stocks, for which price ceiling revisions have been asked. The other anticipated announcement is with regard to expected OPA ceilings on the 1943 crop. It is considered possible that 1943 ceiling prices may 1 be announced around the first of May, although no definite date has been indicated.

Reports from growers indicate that the acreage of hops under cultivation this season may depend to some extent upon the ceiling price levels decided upon, because of uncertainty regarding production costs. Oregon hop markets developed some moderate activity in contracting of 1943 supplies by growers in this state. While accurate figures were not available, it was reported that a number of contracts were written in Oregon during the past four weeks, for future delivery from the prospective 1943 crop. These contracts provide for the payment to growers of the ceiling price for 1943 hops, as announced by the OPA for that growth and basis. Most growers however, were inclined to await the announcement of specific maximum prices before making commitments.

Trade reports indicate that it will be around two weeks before definite information wil be available regarding the root condition of the Oregon hop yards in general, although the few reports received thus far indicate good root condition. Hop acreage in Oregon is expected to show but little change this year, although the number of acres under cultivation is still somewhat uncertain. No contracts were reported in Washington hop producing districts during the past month. Growers in the Puyallup Valley are generally awaiting annoucement of 1943 price ceilings. The acreage to be cultivated in the Puyallup valley this year may be slightly less than last season because of the shortage of labor, and also may depend to some extent upon the levels at which price ceilings are placed.

Markets Briefed (By the United Press) Stocks irregular in quiet trading. Bonds irregularly lower; U.S. governments lower. Curb stocks irregular. Cotton steady.

Wheat fractions of a cent lower; corn unchanged at ceilings. Scio-Present prospects for berries and tree fruits in the Scio area are reported encouraging. Agriculture hereabouts is being pushed to the limit in connection with win-the-war program, informed persons announce. Awarded D.S.C. -Rear Admiral Richmond of Carmel, received the distinguished Admiral Halsey for "distinguished service in responsibility." He was in charge of task in the Solomons from August 7 to December 10.

He is shown on his flag ship during early Solomons operations. Boston Wool Market Active Washington, March 27 (U.P)The Boston wool market was very active this week in anticipation of expected orders for wool cloth from the quartermaster corps. Both domestic and foreign wools were in active demand. A purchase of 600,000 pounds of 8 months wool was made in Texas. Some old clip 12 months wools were sold in Texas at a clean price of delivered.

Considerable buying of 12 months wool was reported in New Mexico at strong prices. A sealed-bid offering of 70,000 pounds of good to average staple wool in New Mexico brought bids of 40 to cents. No sale resulted. Original bag southern California wools bulk fine with an edge of half-bloodwere bought at a delivered Boston clean price of Contracting became very active at the close of the week in Montana, Wyoming, Texas, northern California, and Washington. Prices were at or close to ceilings.

Approximately fitteen million pounds were contracted. Brokers' Fees Total $333,000 Washington, March 27 (U.P.)Clarence A. Thumm of Baltimore told the house military affairs committee today that his gross earnings as a manufacturers' agent in 1942 were approximately $333,000. His gross earnings in 1941 for representing eight machine tool manufacturers in war contracts negotiations, he said, were $212,784. Thumm testified that while he had thus far actually received only $174,952 for 1942, commissions on filled and negotiated contracts would bring his 1942 earnings to approximately $333,000.

He appeared before the committee in connection with hearings on proposed legislation to make manufacturers' agentsreferred to by members of the committee as "war to contract renegotiation laws, just as are war plants. Thumm contended that the firms he represented could not afford to keep full-time representatives in Baltimore.
