SHORTS AND MIDDLINGS

On April 1, U. S. farmers planned
to increase feed grain paintings by
100000 acres from the 1947 total.
Corn acreages remain about the
same but more oats, barley and
grain sorphums were to be sown.
Only one out of each six Ohio
dairy cows on test produced 40 or
more pounds OF butterfat in March.
Buckeye dairymen sold 397 cows for
beef after herd tests showed those
cows were loafing.
Farmers are asked to plan for 10
per cent more fall pigs in 194s than
were farrowed IN 1947. Members
of the r. S. Dept. of Agriculture
claim the corn-hog ratio will change
in favor of greater pork production.
Those men expect decrease in
prices for livestock feeds as we'll as
continued urgent demand for meat
Along with production of a bigger
fall pig crop, farmers are urged to
keep enough gifts and sows 50 the
1e49 spring pig crop viii be con-
siderably larger than that of 1913.

REApp0INTkENT
 OF GOVERNOR E
 REPORTED LIKELY

SEATTLE, Feb. 4.--tR-The Seat tie Times, in a column by Associate Editor Ross Cunningham, said to- day that word from Washington. D. C., states Gov. Ernest H. Gruening is likely to be reappointed Governor of Alaska for another four-year term.
 Such an appointment is probable unless something occurs to cause President Truman to change his mind,' Cunningham said.
 His column went on:
 And word comes from another source in the Capital that if MT. Truman reappoints Gruening, Re- publicans who control the Senate are likely to pigeonhole the appoint ment, by refusing confirmation until after the Presidential election next fall.
 "Gruening would continue to serve in the interim. of course, but if a Republican President is elected the way would be paved to replace him in the Governors Mansion in Ju- neau with a Republican"

MUNICH, Germany. Feb. 4.-tR- The Bavarian Disqualification Minis try announced that Fritz Kuhn former leader of the German Amer ican Bund in the United States, es- capped from German internment camp at Dacnau this morning.
 Kuhn was jailed in July for pos sihle trial as a Na2i offender. He has been held since without trial.
 Kuhn. who had become United States citizen by naturalization, was deprived of his citizenship in l943 and deported to Germany in l945
 First reports from the German operated internee camp said Kuhn escaped from guards as he was be- ing taken from his cell. Unconfirm- cd reports said he was to be trans ferred to Nuremberg as a possible witness in American war crimes trials there.

DIXIE REVOLT ON
 TRUMAN STARTING
 NEW SPECULATION
President May Choose Southerner for His Run
 hing Mate Is Report
LEY JACK BELL)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-R-Pol- iticians wondered today whether the cries of Dixie Democrats outraged by the racial issue might influence President Truman to choose a south erner as his running mate
 The speculation among some Dem ocrats here runs this way:
 l. The revolt against MT. Tru- mans l0-point Civil Rights Program may never bring about the electoral college results its sponsors predict, but 1t could hurt the President in border states.
 2. The late President Roosevelt was sufficiently concerned in 1914 by an even weaker Dixie protest to toss Henry Wallace overheard. He picked MT. Truman, a MiSsourian, for his Vice Presidential nominee.
 3. Someone like House minority leader Raycurn of Texas could be chosen without serious offense to either racial or labor groups in the North. He would give southern Dem ccrats a voice at court.
 The politicians who talked of these things emphasized that they are only speculating. President Truman alone knows how seriously he re- gards the southern complaints. His party leaders are inclined to dis count them.

TAX CUTTING MAY BE DELAYED UNTIL
 JULY 1 BY SENATE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-tR- Some Senate Republicans are thinking of delaying any tax cut until July l.
 The bill passed overwhelmingly by the House Monday would carry the tax cut back to January l. It would lop $6,5o0,O00,0oo off the amount taxpayers will owe on l948 earnings.
 But COP Senators said they must hold the revenue loss to somewhere near s4,5OO,O0O,OOO to get the Demo- cratic votes necessary to override an expected Presidential veto.
 Making the tax cut a six-month affair would take s3,250, 100000 off the taxpayers bills for l948. But that might not satisfy the Demo- crats over the long run because they estimate the House measure will cut Federal revenues a total of S7,l00000,000 in the i2 full months after July l.

gave his written statement on the following day and that LaMoore had been informed by that time that Nelson had received a stay of exc cution.
 Government Rests
 The Government rested it's case at 10:30 am. and defense attorney Joseph A. Mclean then moved that the confession be stricken as being an involuntary statement. Judge George w. Folta denied the motion.
 Robert w. Boochever. Special As- sistant to the District Attorney, gave the opening final arguments for the Government. He termed La- Moore's offense as crime for money" and said that LaMoore and Nelson had cruelty, cold bloodedly planned to rob Jim Ellen and knew they had to kill him." Boochever asked the jury to bring verdict of guilty as charged
 Mclean spoke first for the de- fense. He spoke of the psychological aspects surrounding LaMoore's "al- legged" confession. He said that the statement was made from fear and told the jurors that it should be thrown out. This" said Mclean, would leave only one verdict" He recommended that the defendant be acquitted.
 Third Degree Used
 Roden then addressed the jury, stating "the third degree is still be- ing practiced in this country" He told the jurors fit is up to you to believe whether or not this so-called confession was involuntary"
 Roden also labeled a visit by Boochever to LaMoore's cell at the Federal Jail as being improper" He recommended that the jury disre- gard the LaMoore statement and bring back an acquittal as he said "the other evidence is insufficient.
 Roden's speech concluded the morning session. Gilmore addressed the jury at the beginning of the afternoon session and briefly re- viewed the evidence presented by the Government and then asked for a verdict of guilty as charged.
