Prorate Revision
Bill Gets Approval
Of State Senate

SACRAM EMU, Cdlll., Apln 90
(UP)-A compromise prorate revi-
sion bill, claimed by its supporters
to meet all objections raised by
farm groups to the controversial
surplus control act, went to the
assembly agriculture committee to-
day with senate approval.
The committee has scheduled a
hearing for next Tuesday on It's
own similar measure and will con-
slider the senate-approved bill at
the same time.
Both measures propose transfer
of administration of the law from
the present prorate commission To
the state department of agriculture.
An advisory prorate committee
of nine members would be estab-
lished, to advise the department
on formation of marketing con-
troll programs for the various agri-
cultural products.
The senate bill, drafted by an
agriculture subcommittee headed
by Senator Chris N. JeSpersen, r.,
San Luis Obispo county, provides
for the advisory group TO be COM
posed of six growers, one handler,
one consumer and the director of
agriculture.
JeSpersen explained the proce-
dure for setting up programs under
terms Of the senate measure as
follows:
The director of agriculture would
be empowered TO conduct hearings
on a proposed prorate program for
a given crop on petition of 10 or
more growers.
If sufficient evidence of the need
for program were presented, the
director would divide the producing
area into seven zones. A commit
teeman would be elected by grow
ers in each zone to participate in
drawing up terms of the marketing
plan. The complete program would
be submitted to the growers and
would go into effect upon written
approval of IS per cent. Forty per
cent of the growers could dissolve
the control setup, however, through
presentation of petitions.

This Dog Rehearses the Part
Before He Applied For Work

The most important dog role in
Hollywoods history went to Terry,
two-year-old Cairn terrier,
chosen, after tests of hundreds
of animals and inspection of photos
of pet dogs submitted from all over
. the United States, to play Toto,
Judy Garland's friend and pro-
tector in THE Wizard of o. now
playing at the Blue Mouse theater.
Terry came as surprise. While
the producer of the picture,
Mervyn Leroy, was searching for
the dog, Carl Spitz, a San Fer
nando valley dog fancier, trained
Terry for two months, teaching
all the tricks in the original l..
Frank Baum book.
Here's your dog, all up in the
part" he reported, when he sub
mitted Terry for inspection.
Terry could fight, catch a witch,
sit up, speak" catch an apple
thrown from a tree, and took an
immediate liking to Judy Garland.
Frank Morgan, Ray Bolger. Bert
Lair, Jack Haley and the rest OF
the cast were accepted on first
acquaintance with the pup who
won the role without test.
Terry has almost as important a
role as the actors in 1.-THE Wizard
of o." which is spectacular
