The OUVCOIuG WILL uCIC1uAAAO whether he works with 8 Demo- cratic or a Republican Congress during the next two years.
 MT. Truman was scheduled to leave Washington by train at 3:3O (EST) this afternoon, arriving at Independence tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 (CST. The presidential party will include Mrs. Truman and House Speaker Sam Rayburn.
 Not To Campaign
 Unless his plans are changed between now and Election Day, the President will make no speeches in behalf of Democratic candidates.
 White House press Secretary Charles G. Ross said MT. Truman will not make an electiOn-eve "get out the vote" address; nor will he speak Friday night at an Independ- ence political rally, held annually in behalf of Jackson County Demo- cratic candidates.
 Rayburn will be featured speaker at the rally.
 MT. Truman plans to pass up the kdJklCIAlS UO opCAA0 04AAoJ S'SAAAAAO with his 93-year-old mother, Mrs. Martha E. Truman, at her Grand view, Mo, home, about r miles from Independence.
 Discusses Campaign
 The President had an opportun- ity last night to discuss last min- ute campaign strategy with Demo cratic National Chairman Robert E. Hannegan and other party leaders. MT. and Mrs. Truman, along with several Cabinet members and their wives, were dinner guests at the Hannegan home.
 MT. Truman has not visited his home town since Aug. 6, when he went back to vote in the Missouri Democratic Primary. This will be the first time he has used the train for an extended trip since he &C., companied former Prime Minister Winston Churchill to Fulton, Mo, last Spring.
 The President will leave Inde- pendence soon after he votes, ar- irving in Washington the morning of Nov. 6. His wife will return with him, as will their daughter, Mar garet, who has been studying voice in Kansas City since her college graduation in June.

Wallace Pins WorNeedIinq On Senator
 Also Accuses Army,
 Novy of Defeating
 U. s. Foreign Policy

Minneapolis, Oct. 31-(UP) - Henry A. Wallace charged last night that Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg and the Army and Navy "are mak- ing ouf foreign policy" and that they needed" the State Depart ment into riskirg war with Russia.
 Wallace, former Cabinet member, told Democratic Farmer Labor political rally that he refused to believe" that Secretary of State James F. Byrnes "is happy with the way in which Senator Vandenberg, the Army and Navy are making our foreign policy"
 Certainly Secretary Byrnes was not responsible for Navy fhers writ ing the initials F.D.R. over the skeis of Royalist Greece" Wallace said.
 DiSbelieves Byrnes Action
 Certainly Secretary Byrnes did not authorize Admiral Halsey to say that our Navy would go wher- ever it damned pleased.
 "Dt is hard to believe that Secre- tary Byrnes is pressing for outright U. s. ownership and fortification of the Ryuku Islands in such 8 way as to be a definite and distinct threat to the free access to the sesa by the Russians from their only warm water Pacific port"
 Wallace said he refused ito think that Secretary Byrnes and the State Department would have gone so far in rtsking war with Russia if they had not been needled into it by Vandenberg and the military"
 Wallace admitted that the mili- tary eceSsarily think and prepare to meet the next possible enemy" but said that the State Department's function is to think about that en- emy and plan for peaceful relations.
 Charges View on Relations
 The problem of carrying on suc- cessful relations with Russia, Wal lace said, lis not as simple as I presumed 1t last Sept. 12." That was the date he delivered the New York speech that led to his custer from the cabinet.
 Wallace said he hoped Russia $ relationship to the Balkans would become similar to the D. s. good neighbor" policy in South America.
 T have felt," he said, "thta once these governments Qthe Balkans) were set up under the supervision of the Big Three, we should pull out and should be sympathetic with the desires of the peoples of eastern Europe in case they wished to CO., operate with the Soviet Union for their mutual welfare on a regional good neighbor basis like we do in the new world.
 We would hope, of course, that under the good neig1lbor policy, Russia would not interfere in the internal politics of the countries of Eastern Europe any more than we do in the internal politics of Latin America"

ShoWer Threats May Break Heat

Threats of showers this after noon brought a chance of a break in the Autumn heat wave which has set October records in Waterbury and Connecticut. The temperature recorded at the City Hall at noon today was 78 degrees, just two degrees below the high of 30 reached early yesterday afternoon.
 Departing October will take a series of heat records with it. Unreasonable temperatures have set flowers and plants to bloom ing, and have saved household CTS many an hour with the fur mace and range.
 Today at Hartford was the warmest Oct. 31 ever recorded, the United Press reported. The mercury hit 75 degrees at 10 and was still rising.
 Wate CT bu ians sweltered through another hot and humid night last night. The lowest temperature was GA degrees, far above normal, and fully-opened windows were in order.

SteeImon Shoe 
 Action Surprise
 To oPA Officials;
 Price Boost High

Washington, Oct. 31 - (UP = You will be paying 20 to 30 percent more for shoes soon now that the industry has been decontrolled, OPA estimated today.
 Ceilings on shoes, feathers, hides and skins were removed yesterday by Reconversion Director John R.. Steelman. The order came as 8 complete surprise to OPA.
 The result, OPA said, will be an increase from $400, 900 900 to $600,- 100000 a year in the nations an- nual shoe bill, already about $2,- GOO ,000, ,000.
 Steelman saio decontrol was nec- essary to increase the flow of skins and feathers to shoe manufacturers, whose supplies were cut of during the recent slump in livestock slaughtering.
 Because of the slaughtering holi- day, shoe production dropped Il percent in September to an esti- mated 41,O00, 900 pairs. A further decline was expected this month. Total production for 1946 was ex- pected to be about 510,000,0 900 pairs 40, ,00O 900 pairs fewer than an earlier estimates.
 OPA officials said the decontrol of shoes would not have 8 material effect on the control of other cloth ing items. OPA intends to keep all other basic clothing items under control unless, one official said, it should be overruled by the White House.
 Retails prices of diapers, heavy underwear and certain cotton knit ted fabric were increased today to cover a four to five cent a pound increase in yarn.
 Meanwhile, OPA continued work on Its master decontrol plan and officials said another installment might be issued today or tomorrow.
 Although OPA controls are disap- bearing rapidly, the agency is going into rent control on an increasing scale. It will impose rent controls on 88 additional rental areas in 3l states tomorrow. There then will be $50 rental areas under ceilings.

County Agents Column
By Walter L. Click

All turkey growers of south east
ern Washington are invited to a
turkey school at Pasco Court
House courtroom on Thursday,
March 18th. This is an all-day
school, starting at 10 am. DR.. John
Carver, Washington State College,
DR.. w. f. Peterson Veterinarian on
Poultry Diseases, and Fred Frasier,
Extension Poultry Specialist will
be present to assist with the pro-
gram. It will be worthwhile from
both a nutritional and disease
control standpoint. Remember
March IA.
It is predicted that the wide
spread use of Primar and Bromar
in place of the common varieties
with sWeetclover will increase con-
servation effectiveness of green
manure crops on Washington
farms, said Orlie w. Smith, Field
Agronomist for the Soil Conserva-
ton Nursery at Pullman.
When seeded with sweet clover,
these grasses which were recently
developed at the State College of
Washington are usually planted at
the rate of ten pounds per acre to
five pounds of sweet clover. This
rate of seeding will usually give a
stand which will produce about
one-third grass and two-thirds
sweet clover by weight. A mixture
of this proportion seems most eff
fective for erosion control in green
manure crops, as well as for re-
ducing the bloat hazard when used
for pasture.
The total production of green
manure of pasture crop is not re-
duced when the proportion of grass
is not over one-third o fthe sweet
clover-grass mixture. The combin-
ed yields of roots and tops of the
mixture is usually higher than for
sweet clover planted alone.
The fibrous roots Of the grass
make up more than one-half of the
total roots produced in the Primar
of Bromar sweet clover mixtures.
These grass roots decay slower

example, Glasses and 2 in west
ern Washington are generally we'll
adapted to the production Of vege-
table seed crops, bulbs, cranber-
ries and fresh vegetables. Class S,
on the other hand, probably should
be used largely for the production
of trees or pasture. Those farms
which fall in Glasses l or 2 in gen.
eral are productive enough to JUS
tify relatively large expenditure
for production expenses and i'm
provements per acre. Those farms
located on Class 3 lands will US
ually produce enough to justify
only average expenditure per acre.
Farms in classes 4 and S are able
to repay only lower-than-average
expenses.
The third important use of these
maps, according to the economists,
is to guide public and private
agencies in extending services to

than the sweet clover roots and
absorb some of the nitrogen from
the sweet clover and hold it fol
use by succeeding crops. In addl-
ton the fibrouS grass roots pre-
vent the soil from eroding SO cas-
lily.
Some of the benefits from the
inclusion of Primar of Bromar in
sweet clover green manure and
pasture seedlings are:
l. Reduces erosion and run-off
during the winter season due to
protection of grass.
2. Reduces soil heaving and
winter injury because of the pro-
tective effect of the grass cover
and grass roots in the soils.
3. Reduces danger of burning to
crop following a green manure
crop.
4. Longer fertilizing effect OF
the nitrogen produced by the sweet
clover.
5. Increased organic matter and
water holding capacity of the soil
due to the fibrouS grass roots.
6. Decrease the danger of bloat
when used for pasture.
Y. Makes a more palatable pas
ture or hay for livestock.
Washington farmers, feeding
livestock and poultry, are faced
with a serious shortage of feed
grains and proteins, says a new
publication issued by the Institute
of Agricultural Sciences of the
State College of Washington.
The circular, issued to meet the
present emergency situation con-
tains listing of ways in which
farmers may adjust their opera
tons to meet the feed shortage.
The various commodities in the
state are listed together with di-
gest of the feed situation, sum-
mary of the causes and brief di-
gest of some of the government
orders now in effect.
Feeds are short throughout the
nation, the circular points out, but
are shortest in a deficit area like
Washington where farmers have
Offset the lack Of corn, oats and
barley by increasing wheat fed.
Government wartime programs
have encouraged the feeding Of
wheat and feed grains by keeping
livestock prices relatively favor
able in relation to wheat and feed
grains. Price relationships fol-
corn and livestock, and the high
moisture content Of the 1916 corn
crop, have discouraged the move
ment of corn out of surplus pro-
ducing areas into Washington. AS
q result, in Washington, wheat
which normally constituted one
fifth of the total grain fed, has in
creased in recent years to one-half,
