Wheat Freight Rates To
Be Discussed By Growers

Whether a demand for changes
in wheat freight rates is justified
at this time and plan for re-
apportioning the Washington State
Legislature to give each county at
least one representative and one
senator will be two main issues
of the mid-year meeting of the
Washington-Idaho Wheat Grow
ers' league June II and Is in
the Spokane hotel, Spokane.
Joe Anderson, president of the
Agricultural Research league, will
present reports from his organiza-
ton on these two problems at the
wheat leagues Tuesday afternoon
business session, as background
for members to use in deciding
future policy. Besides formulating
these policies, wheat league men,
bers will discuss parity for wheat,
whether all farmers, none, or only
those storing wheat in public ele-
vators should have to sell half
their 1916 crop to the government,
and whether the 30-cent bonus on
1915 wheat should apply to the
entire years crop.

Time 10 Register
Growing Shorter

Time, as full many an observer
has noted, has a way of fleeing.
And to bark back to Mark Twain
quotation, time like the weather
is something that nobody seems
to be doing anything about.
But while tempus is fighting,
City Clerk Winifred Campbell
says, the unregistered voter should
be doing something about it, else
he'll be likely to find himself de-
MED the ballot come primary cleo
ton day. -......
The election books close on June
~, and with the number of Sat-
urdays and Sundays intervening,
many voters are going to have to
tie string on the finger to remind
them to stop by the city, hall or
other place of registration.
If you have moved from one
city or county precinct to another
since the last general election,
you're one of the folks who should
be getting registered. Or, if you
have moved into the city from
the country, you should call at
the city hall, cancel your regis
tration in the old precinct, and
register anew in your present one.
If you have moved out of the
city into the country, you should
call at the Courier-Reporter Of
flee for the same purpose.
City Clerk Winifred Campbell's
good advice is not to put off get
ting your registration in order
until the last minute. Sometimes
that's too late.

Pointing to a record growth in
State Grange membership, Cars
Jensen announced a net gain OF
lib members since the last state
session in 1914, bringing the total
membership beyond $4,000. II
The recent federal feed controls
which have left Washington poul-
trymen almost without feed sup
plies came in for criticism from
the Grange leader who declared
it had demonstrated the inter-
dependence of farm commodity
groups. He said it meant that
mot only Were the livestock, dairy
and poultry industries in immedi-
ate danger of destruction, but that
the wheat growers themselves,
when world production returns to
normal, would face the precarious
position of having their home
market destroyed" *l =
Christensen emphasized that a
tWo-price system and surplus con-
trolls were essential if farmers
are to be able to finance soil con-
servation practices and to achieve
standards of living and health
comparable to urban jewellers.
The problem of soil conservation
he said, can be met successfully
"only of the farmer is assured
of a fair income from his crops
so that he can afford to restore
the fertility of his land and take
steps to prevent erosion, instead
of having. to wear out his soil in
order to make a meager living

 BY C0RDELL HULL

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Gravely ill Cordell Hull counseled the Big Five powers on his 18th birthday today that they must replace dan gerous" differences with mutual confidence or face "incalculable dis aster."
 The frail former Secretary of State offered his advice even as he car ried on a personal struggle for time and health to make a final contri- button to world peace.
 Hull suffered a stroke Monday at the U. s. Naval Hospital where he has been resting from the task of compiling his experiences in pub lie life-a work he hopes will not only shed light on the past but furnish lessons for the future.
 It was upon those experiences that he drew for his birthday state ment citing the difficulties in the path of international unity, yet ex- pressing confidence the objective can be attained il the big powers will only cooperate.

} SKELETONS FOUND; MAY
 BE YANKEES
Mystery Case Develops as Rescue Party Goes for
 Captive Airmen

SHANGHAI, Oct. 2.-Three Americans flew to Sichang today hoping to pave the way for rescu- ing five airmen reported enslaved by Lolos and to identify three skeletons brought here Saturday.
 The skeletons were found three days hiking distance from Sichang where they had been taken by Chinese. They were examined care fully, but no identifying clues were found. Chinese who discovered the remains found an uninscribed wrist watch and a piece of parachute silk, which also were brought tc Shanghai
 Discovery of the watch led tc the hope that there might be suffi- cient wreckage at the scene to iden- tify the crashed plane and hence help identify the victims
 There is no basis for speculat ing whether the reported captives were in the same crew as the men whose skeletons were discovered.
 Meantime, U. s. soldiers were s.cgging painfully across mountain ous Western China seeking the cap tives. They set out from Sichane last week Travelling without radios they have no means of communi' cation.

WHITE ELEPHANT
 ASHTON DATE E 7 RESET TO OCT. E
Rotary Teams Will Begin Canvdssing DesidenfiaI
 Disfri(ts Soon

Teams of Rotarians have now been assigned their districts for collec- ton of items for the White Ele- phant Auction now to be held in the Elks Club on Friday, October 25, instead of October 24. It was found that this date would conflict with the concert pianist Maxim Shapiro, who is appearing at the 2Oth Century Theatre on the night originally set.
 Teams of two Rotarians have been assigned various residential districts and the whole commun- ity will be called upon during the week. It is hoped that all residents will have looked over their base mentS, cellars and attics and have pretty general idea of what they wish to donate to this cause. All you have to do is to tell the com- mittee what you want to get rid of and they will tag the articles You can give them some idea of the value and they will mark this value on the tag and the article will not be knocked down for less
 There will be daily pickup ser vice to collect the articles and these can be left in some convenient spot so that it will not be necessary for the householder to wait for the truck.
 If the committee hasn't called on you or if they have failed to catch you at home, call Clara Dilg, phone 557, in the Goldstein Building, and tell her what you have and where it is and she will see that it is picked up.
 All monies received at the auc- tion will go to the Memorial Li- brary Fund. With all the activ- ities that are now focusing theii attention on this fund it is hop ed to have enough in the treasury within a short space of time, tt begin building.

Bomber Group 10 Alaska Bases
Announcement Also Says that B-29 Supers to Re-
 place B-17 Bombers

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-The Army said today that B-29 Super fortresses may replace smaller B-17 bombers for occupation duty in Europe
 The official air forces disclosure was appended to an announcement that a group of B-29s, together with fighter complement, will operate in Alaska during the next six months for Arctic training purposes
 The reference to Europe fol- lowed by only two days Secretary of the Navy Forrestars declaration that American naval forces are in the Mediterranean to help carry out American foreign policy and support Allied occupation forces The Mediterranean force includes an aircraft carrier.
 The Army said only:
 The occupation task now per formed in Europe by heavy bomb- CTS of the Boeing B-17 Flying Fort ress type may be accomplished by B-29's in the future as a routine replacement of obsolescent types of aircraft by modern equipment"
 As for Alaska, the announcement quoted Gen. Carl Spaatz, AAF commander, as saying the 28th bomb group, now based at Grand Island, Neb., will leave some time in November for Elmendorf Field at Anchorage, Alaska, to given crews and planes experience in Arctic op- erations.
 The B -29s will be followed in De- cember by the 56th fighter group equipped with P-51 Mustangs. This outfit will base at Ladd Field, Fair banks, for it's Polar weather train- ing Ladd Field as well as Elmen dorf is capable of handling the Superforts.
 Upon completion of training, the two groups will return to bases in the States, to be replaced by other units undergoing cold weather ex- perience An advance party of about 100 men, forming the nucleus of a supervisory wing, already is in Alaska, the AAF said.
 Spaatz' statement also reported that the 58th bomb group, recent ly engaged in the Bikini atomic bomb tests, has returned to the U s. and will remain here"
 This was assumed to refer to re- cent reports that B-29s capable o1 atomic bomb operations would be i transferred to Alaska and the Aleutians. Maj. Gen. William E Kepner, deputy commander for the Bikini test force, recently discount ed the idea that an atomic bomE force would base in Alaska. Kep- ner noted. however, that this ir i itself meant litle because any standard BPS could be converted easily to carry the atomic bomb.

Juneau Boat with FIint Charter Party Aboard Is
 Nearly (apsized by Whale

Fishing boats and whales simply don't mix well, Jack Menaery of Juneau and three members of a charter party from Flint, Michigan, discovered last week.
 Howard Lintz, George Beams and Al J. Wachowski chartered Men aerys 35-foot boat, the Hobo, for a fishing trip out of Juneau.
 On September 27 they spotted a school of between and l2 whales cavorting near Admiralty Island, and persuaded Menaery to ap- proach near enough to the ami mals so they could photograph them.
 However the whales soon sur rounded the boat, and Skipper Men aery stopped the engine in hopes he could keep from attracting the whales unwanted attentions
 Lintz and Beams were standing on the bow taking pictures of the whales blowing and sounding when suddenly one came up from be- meath and to the starboard side of the boat. As it passed under, the Hobo was lifted high in the water, and almost capsized. It was saved, however, by its rugged construction, and because of some three tons of cement, lead and rock ballast. Lintz, thrown off balance by the whales mighty blow, had his nov ing picture camera aimed at the sky, but he brought it down in time to catch the whale as it sur faced alongside the boat on the port side Wachowski, sitting on the after deck holding 3006 rifle, raised it and shot the whale as it's head appeared. Tt was just as though mosquito had bitten it, " he said afterward.
 The whale turned and diVed just under the bow of the boat, but did not strike it again.
 Later, as the Hobo was limping along with the men pouring water from the drinking supply into a patched up cooling system, storm came up, and they were forced to lie for three days behind Lincoln Island before they were able to pro- ceed slowly to Juneau.

DISpUTANTS
 SUMMONED
 FOR FARLEY
Union Security Issue Proving Principal
 Stumbling Block
(BY THE ASSOCIATED pprSs'

An early end Of the second na- tionwide shipping strike in a month was forecast today by conciliation director Edgar L. Warren who sum- moned all disputants to an after noon conference in Washington ito try to drive home a settlement
 The conciliation chief said a con- tinuous meeting would start at pm. (EST) and that he saw no need for further adjournments of the negotiations. A commission of ficial said he saw reasonable hope" for early settlement.
 Enforce Agreement
 AFL and CIO union leaders, as well as government officials who asked anonymity. said the Mari time Commission had made it known it would enforce on all gov- ernment-owned vessel any changes in working conditions agreed upon by east coast shipowners and the two unions which represent cap- tains, mates and engine-room of ficers. Refusal of Pacific coast ship owners to follow the eastern com panies in meeting contract demands for more union security remained the principal stumbling block in the dispute.
 CIO longshoremen, striking on the west coast, were reported to be near agreement with their employers at San Francisco
 Parties to the Washington pro- ceedings believe that if the ship officers walkout can be settled, the longshoremen also will end their strike and the maritime industry may live in peace until next sum- mer
 Further negotiations were plan- ned today between the shipowners and the two seafaring unions in- volved in the walkout which start ed Monday-the CIO marine en- gineers and the AFL masters, mates and pilots.
 Union Security Issue
 The major issue under discussion in Washington has been union security"-as other issues, including wages, were gradually being cleared away. CIO longshoremen striking on the west coast were reported to he near agreement with their em- ployers at San Francisco. The mas ters, mates and pilots has demand ed 30 percent pay boost the marine engineers union demanded a wage hike of 35 percent and the longshoremen 8 cents more an hour to boost their hourly pay to S1.7O.
 The strike affected ports on all coasts. The squeeze frightened in New York when six non-striking unions voted both to honor and join picket lines. Activity in the port of Philadelphia came to complete standstill and l32 ships lay idle in the Delaware River.

 One of the early arrivals was General Harry Vaughan, the Presi- dents military aide.

A committee aide countered that most members of the committee are busy cam paigning for reelection, with one of them helping Jimmie Byrnes in Paris.
