Hold Hearing or, ,
Federal Potato
Marketing Act
To hold vote Of growers
on agreement; to
cover late crop

The hearing for the State OF
Washington for a proposed Federal
Potato Marketing Agreement was
held this past Monday at Ellensburg
lasting throughout the day with an
evening session. The hearing was
conducted by Mr. John w Gamma
way, Associate Marketing Specials
of the Surplus Marketing Admins
tration, Washington, D. c. He was
assisted by MIR. Hadley, attorney for
the same administration. Testimony
was taken from key growers and
dealers from the eight commercial,
potato growing counties of the
state; namely, Benton, Yakima, Kit
titas, Grant, Whatcom, Skagit, .Sno-
homish, and Clarke. 49,. .....
A similar hearing was recently
conducted in Idaho for that state
and Thursday of this week the Ore
gon hearing is being conducted al
klamath Falls. Testimony will be
transcribed and the proposal will be
written up and presented to potato
dealers and growers at meetings
throughout the territory, following
which a vote will be taken. If IS per
cent of the potato growers vote in
favor of the agreement covering SO
percent of the production, it will be
put into effect, but will be only in
time for the late crop of Melted Gem
potatoes in 1941. 1t would, however
cover both the early and late crops
in 1912. This agreement would set
up regulations governing shipments
across state lines or possibly within
the state if an emergency were con-
sidered to exist It is understood
that there is state legislation, how
ever, which could cover similar pro-
visions for shipments within the
state. go . -

After several months Of inactivity
it looks like there will again be
something done on the gold dredg-
ing down the river. The company
has purchased the old Hanford ferry
and it has been delivered down the

E. Donelson, to transport materials
from the mainland to the island
where the first work will be start
ed.
The several leases which the COM
pany has taken are thus automatic
ally renewed, according to Donelson,
who took them for the company, al
though they may be cancelled by

ndQ landed at PlraeuS, pOrC OF
Athens, and at Salonika, strategic
Aegean gateway, private advices to
the United Press said.
1t was impossible to obtain official
confirmation in London of the SEN
sational British move, the United
Press bureau there being unable
to reply to direct inquiries con-
corning the expeditionary force.
Other information received by the
United Press from abroad, however,
revealed that the expeditionary
force departed from Egypt, (presum-
ably from the great naval base at
Alexandria) last week.
RumorS from Belgrade placed its
size of the force at 10 divisions, pos
sibly 10000 troops. According to
the Belgrade information, which
came from diplomatic sources, Brit
ish forces were taken to Greece in
40 transports and a landing had
already been made at Piraeus and
probably was in progress at Saloni-
ka.
Meanwhile Prime Minister Win
ston Churchill hailed President
Roosevelt's lease-lend bill as a new

Churchill said the overwhelming

of America had now been cast into
the balance agaist Germany.
The Axis reply to Churchills GEL
ebration of enactment of the aid-to-
Britain bill came, from Tokyo where
Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka
departed on a momentous trip to
Berlin, Rome and Moscow with the
cheering shouts of "Banzai, banzai''
ringing in his ears.
Berlin and Rome propagandists
chimed in with great chorus that
Matsuokas trip would provide an
sWer enough to the U. S. aid-to-
Britain, which anyway would be too
late, or would be sunk, or was al
ready expected and discounted or
would unnecessarily prolong the
war.
One Berlin newspaper warned that
President Roosevelt's action, ef-
fected by "terroristic" means and
with the aid of certain Jewish cir
cles" would unleash in the United
States certain revolutionary move

Cargo Ban on l.v.

geles wednesday started the long
threatened hot cargo ban on I'M
pcrial Valley truck shipments, caus-
ing the Associated Farmers to step
into the picture.
First blow was struck at a Sam
Maggio truck driven by a nom
union driver. After he unloaded
80 boxes Of grapefruit at the Stepp
Produce company in Los Angeles,
union members told him he could
not unload more or reload the
80 boxes.
A representative of the Asso-
ciated Farmers stood by while the
driver reloaded and drove to the
citrus auction, which is surrounded
by picket line. The grapefruit,
still chaperoned by the Associated
Farmers, was destined to be reload
ed there and taken to San Francisco

talked. Francis agreed.
Now, because we're partners

Penny, meanwhile, was Spraining

SAN FRANCISCO. Mar. IL, (UP)
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph
company today cut its interstate
telephone rates on the Pacific coast
and its long distance intrastate
rates within California an estimated
$8OOOOO a year, effective March Is.
The reduction applies also to the
Southern California Telephone COM
pany.
The company estimated that pat
'rons would save 100000 annually
through the new lower rates on
interstate calls in the territory in
Guiding California, Nevada, Wash
ington. oregon and Northern Ida
no. 1t estimated a similar saving
on calls between widely separated
cities within California.
The company said the long dis
tance rates were cut in compliance
with the recent order of the fed
cral communications commission
which found the company charges
too high on interstate business on
the west coast.
Typical of the new schedule was
the rate to be established between
San Francisco and Spokane, Wash,
on March Is. 1t will be S1.9O for
a station -to-station call. The form
er charge was $3.50. For a person
