Turkey Prices 10

To assure producer returns
equivalent to 80 per cent of the
parity price, the Department of
Agriculture has instituted a tur-
key purchase program to include
1946-crop birds remaining unsold
by producers and breeding stock
which will be marketed late this
spring, the Benton county AGA
committee has been advised. It
is estimated that Government pur-
chases may amount to as much as
10 million pounds, A. j. Thomp-
son, committee chairman reported.

are best suited to project soils and

followed for best results.
The demonstration farms also
will be Of great value to business
men who are already showing in
terest in establishing agricultural
processing plants in the project
area for sugar beets, potatoes, fro
zen foods, certified seeds, and
grape juices, Mr.. Toevs pointed
out.
He said development farms will
be established near Moses Lake
and Pasco, and possibly in the
Quincy and Winchester districts.
The 80-acre Moses Lake farm
is scheduled for operation in 1947.
The land has been leveled, a well
is being drilled, and construction
of farm buildings will begin soon.
The Columbia Basin Project de-
velopment farm program is nee
essary because soils and lengths of
growing seasons vary greatly
throughout the project area ex-
tending more than 100 miles north
and south, and up to 68 miles east
and west.
The yearly frost-free period has
varied from 208 to 1913 days at the
rs temperature recording stations
established by the Bureau in the
project in 1910.
These weather and soil varia-
tons indicate that great variety
of crops may be grown in the pro-
ject.

Producer price for all young

Prompt Solution Necessary For
 Alaska Shipping

WASHINGTON, R)-Immedi- ate solution of the Alaska trans portatfon problem in interests of national defense was advocated today by Senator Maghuson O. WaShD.
 "The Alaskan transportation problem is more serious now than it was a year ago." Magnuson told a reporter. Its immediate inn Drovement is vital to national de- fense and I know it has caused concern to high officers of our armed forces"
 Magnuson said that not only an improved steamship service was required to serve Alaska but that adequate road transportation must be provided.
 "The present road to Alaska constructed by the army is not satisfactory and cannot meet the demands of heavy travel" he said. Also this road probably will not be maintained by Canada, to which part of it was given at the end of hostilities."
 Magnuson said he had every reason to believe Russia is not ne glecting development of trans portation arteries in Siberia"
 The Senator said he would talk during the day with Governor Err nest Gruening of Alaska to go over Alaskan funds in the interior department appropriation bill and thoroughly" discuss the trans portation service to the Territory.

News Guild Officers
In New York Given
Vote Of Confidence
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 20.-A 114-to-
46 vote of complete confidence" in
its present officers is the New York
City Newspaper Guilds reply to
criticism from the guilds national
president that the local lis probably
Communist dominated"
The vote was taken last night al
a representative assembly of dele
gates from city units of the CIC
American Newspaper Guild having
an estimated 5000 members.
Milton Murray, ANG president, hi.
appearance at the meeting greeted
by cheers and boos, repeated his
statement made before the House
Labor Committee in Washington
that "in my opinion, the New York
local of the Newspaper Guild is
p r o b bly, Communist-dominated,
and that Jack Ryan, its executive
vice president, sis a Communist"
Mr.. Murray said that Mr.. Ryan
had not denied the charge and prob
ably would "go on ducking the ques-
tion for some time"
Ryan Rebuffs Murray. .
In response to a delegates ques-
ton from the floor, sis Ryan, or is
he not, a Communist" Mr.. Ryan
had risen earlier to say:
II think it is none of his business.
1t would be his business, and it
will be his business, when Jack
Ryan runs for office. 1t is none of
his business now because of the con-
text in which the question is raised"
Mr.. Ryan said his political views
had been brought up by Mr.. Murray
before an antilabor congressional
committee" which, he said, was
looking for a peg on which to hang
some antilabor legislation and de-
stroy this union"
Guild members, Mr.. Ryan con-
tinued, would be suckers to per-
NIT this thing to become an issue
now. I can take care of myself, but

No Political Restrictions.
Mr.. Murray said he interpreted
the confidence resolution to mean
that you will run your local as
you see fit and elect Communists
as you wish"
The locals president, John T.
McManus, observed that the local
places no restriction on the politi-
cal convictions of members.
The resolution, after criticizing
Mr.. Murray's Washington testimony
and expressing complete confidence
in the present officers" closed with
this statement:
THE representative assembly -
wishes to state once and for all that
the New York guild is controlled by
no political party, Communist OF
otherwise; that it follows the pro-
gram of no political party, but does
follow the program Of the CIO :.
