vited to the annual White House reception for Congress. It matters not how bitterly member of the opposition party has been attacking the President; he is, nevertheless, invited He may not choose to come, bu5 he is invited-on the ground that it is an official re- ception paid for by the taxpayers
 Therefore, when :iarlem's Con gressman Powell was snubbed it caused considerable speculation Since Chi :agos Congressman Daw- son was invited, it was obvious no cc,or line was drawn Mrs. Helm the White House social secretary was willing to offer no solution Asked why Congressman Powell was ostracized, her reply was. No comment"
 Other friends of the President, however, gave this explanation: MT. Truman has a long and vindictive memory where Mrs. Truman is concerned If anyone embarrasses his wife, he is never forgiven
 And about a year ago, Congress- man Powellis wine, singer Hazel Scott, was barred by the Daughters of the American Revolution from singing at their Constitution Hall. Mrs. Truman criticized the ban, but did not follow the lead of some other OARS and resign because of the color distinction. Asked by newswomea if she would resign, Mrs Truman crypticaliy replied. Why should I?"
 This caused some resentment in the Negro press and was considered one reason why the Republicans carried large blocks of Colored votes for the first time since Roos- cvelt weaned them away from the party Of Abraham Lincoln
 President Truman has a long memory, explain his friends, and this incident which embarrassed his wife, was why Congressman Powell and his wife Hazel Scott were not invited to the annual White House reception for Con- gress.

TRUMAN MEETS BUREAUCRATs

There's been no official an- nouncement about it, but Presi- dent Truman has quietly started a unique practice. He has been visit ing different government depart ments to meet their staffs and dis cuss various problems with the personnel He is the first President Tn many years to do this.
 Truman started the idea several weeks ago with a Cabinet meeting when he told Secretary of the In terior Car" Krug that he would like to come to lunch at the Inter- for Department Delighted. Krug arranged small. informal lunch with fifteen key Interior Depart ment officials present
 Many o4 them had been in gov ernment service twenty years, but never had seen, much less talked to, a President. They are the men who keep the wheels of government running no matter who is elected
 The lunchen was strictly infor- nal but time was taken to let each bureau chief report on the work he was doing One told of an important geological survey now heing made by the Interior De- partment, a project to determine available U. s. uranium-the raw material used for producing atomic energy.

PoultrY-a Profitable Business
Most poultrymen will likely
have profitable businessmen.
according to Arthur eagle, extern
sion economist at the state col
lege.
The fact that poultry numbers
are down is favorable to men who
are still in the business. There
Is a likelihood, he says, that con-
sumner purchasing power will re-
lower.
Both the number Of laying hens
and the amount of egg produc-
ton were down in March this
year, compared to March. 1916.
The number of layers was down
IL per cent in Washington and 6
per cent for the whole country.
Egg prices were about Is per
cent higher in April, 1947, than
in April, 1916. The increase in
egg prices, however, has been
largely offset by % per cent in
crease in feed prices.
Commercial hatcheries Matched
about 10 per cent more chicks
this year than last. Hatchings for
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1947-05-22

the whole country, though, were
down about 2 per cent.
Supplies of stored shell eggs are
low, but supplies of frozen eggs
are high.
Brighter Outlook for Turkeys
Washington farmers are grow
ing 20 per cent fewer turkeys this
year than in 1915. This decrease,
according to Arthur eagle. extern
sion economist at the state COL
lege, is caused by high feed costs
and lower turkey. prices.
Cagel predicts, however, that
turkey growers every likely will
be getting higher prices for tur-
keys next fall and will be paying
somewhat less for feed" He says,
"The production of turkeys this
year may be more profitable than
present prices would indicate"
For the whole country, there
has been a is per cent cut in
turkey numbers compared to last
years production and a % per
cent reduction compared to the
record crop of 1916, eagle said.
More Strawberries this Year
The number of acres planted
to Strawberries this year in the
whole country is 81 per cent
larger than last year, or 120, 900
acres. But the 1947 acreage is
nevertheless about Is per cent
smaller than the average acreages
for the period, 1936-45, accord
ing to Arthur eagle, extension
econimist at the state college.
The country produced an UNI
usual, bumper crop of 100000
crates on the relatively small
acreage last year. This years
crop is expected to be only slight
ly larger than the '46 crop, since
a considerable portion of the 1947
acreage is planted to first-year
berries.
Prices will not be as high as
last year, but will nevertheless be
good, eagle said.
Wheat Prices Held Up By Exports
The governments program of
buying wheat and shipping it
largely accounts for the
present high wheat prices. I'm
less the country continues its large
prices will probably fall
to support level, predicts Roy
Beck, extension marketing spe-
cialist at the state college.
The acreage planted to wheat in
as well as through
out the country is likely to be
about 6 per cent greater than last
year. Favorable weather condi-
tons will result in another
bumper crop such as the country
has had each year since 1910.
Smaller Potato Crop
Potato growers will reduce
their paintings sharply this year,
in order to keep within the goals
and be eligible for price-support.
The acreage is expected to be Is
per cent less in Washington and
IL per cent less for the whole
according to Roy Beck,
marketing specialist at
the state college.
The potato crop for early spring
harvest in Texas and Florida is
to be 40 per cent smaller
than a year ago. The stocks Of
unsold 1916 potatoes on March 1,
not including those held for home
use, were % per cent greater than
for the last year, and 40 per cent
above that Of two years ago, said

 Meets Tonight

Juneau City Council will meet in special session this evening to consider separate reports taken from the records and books of Alaska Electric Light and Power Company by City Attorney Howard Stabler and Walter Stuart, utility engineer.
 Stabler's report was made at the last regular meeting of the Coun- Gil, at the request of Mayor Hen drickson. Certain figures were challenged as lacking in specific interpretation for clarity, and Stabler agreed to make a furth- CT breakdown of his report. Stuart was especially hired at the instigation of a group of cit i9ens representing five Juneau service cluhs. He was instructed by the Council to make an inves- tigation of the AEL and P books for 1946, showing profits and loss 1, es, operating expenses and taxes of the utility.
 After the Council goes over the reports tonight, they will be pub lished for study by voters before the Municipal election on April l which is Tuesday of next week. To- nights meeting is not a closed session, and citizens are welcome to attend and hear the reports.

PIONEERS HOME REPORT HOUSES
 C0CHRAN'5 IRE

Reading in the Alaska Senate yesterday afternoon of the re- port of the joint House-Senate in- vestigating committee on the Pioneers Home stirred a volcano that still is seething
 The report, concurred in fully by all members of the House and Senate Committees on Territorial Institutions, except Senator Tolbert Scott and Representatives w. w Laws and Gerrit Snider, who con- cured in part, is based upon ob- servation during the recent legis- lative visit to Sitka. Among other things, the report recommends
 conApJete reorganization of the management of the Home. (The full report is published elsewhere in today's Ernpire)
 Senate Committee Chairman Don Carlos Brownell moved for Senate acceptance of this most deep reaching report ever returned by a Pioneers Home Investigating group. But action was halted by vigorous rebuttal from Senator O. D. Cochran, which followed Senator Edward D. Coffey's inter jection that the matter should not be allowed to end with mere ac- ceptance of the report.
 Cochran went into detail on his own observations during the trip to the home, which, on the basis of his. long familiarity with this institution, he qualified as being just as good an investigation as the committee made.
 He strongly defended Home Trustees Charles w. Carter and Henry Roden, also Dr. Charteris whom he declared the Home is fortunate to have as physician Such conditions as the report in- dicates could not exist with men like Roden and Carter on the Board, he maintained. saying he could give no -credence to such a report.
 Without action on Brownell's $ motion, the report was pushed aside for time, while the Senate turned to immediate matters, and Brownell was forced to postpone his attempt to answer what he termed "aspersions' by the Nome Senator.
