Well Folks
Reddy's Boosters are playing the
Glendale Greys at Glendale's new
park, tonight. Should be a good
game and it is only little ways
out to Glendale. So! let's watch
'em play ball! the fellows tell me
they received royal welcome in
Haden, last Sunday. Played good
game even if they did lose. Next
Sunday we play the Glend al e
Tigers i'm EaStIake Park. We lost
our first game with them but if
you folks will just "hOller" enough
we will be able to beat them here.
What, if anything, are you doing
to beat the heat? We are in the
beverage business, you know! In
fact, we have a very complete
selection of both hard and soft
drinks, and lots of bargains to
choose from. For instance, did you
know that we have imported
brandy as low as $1.79 per 9TH
Rum at $2.5O-Gin at $3.50 and SlO
Gin at $2.25? Any one of these can
be used to make those long tall,
cooling drinks, that are SO much in
demand nowadays. Just add Cola,
Tom Collins Mix or Sparkling
Water to q tall glass full of ice

your favorite-stir it a bit, and you
are then ready to sit back and

U. S. Needed Arousing.
IT felt that unless the Ameri-
can people were aroused to dc

jeopardy
Mr.. Olds. who was appointed
to the commission in 1899 by the
late President Franklin D. Roose-
velt, told the committee that he
does not think Mr.. Lyle's charges
are "the real issue on which the
Senate will have to pass in acting
on his nomination.
Other opponents of the appoint
ment have protested that Mr..
Olds is attempting to assert the
FPC's regulatory authority over
the production and gathering of
natural gas, contrary to what
they called the intent of Con-
gress.
Senator Capehart, Republican
of Indiana, a member of the sub
committee. told Mr.. IOlds: II

Figures indicated the per cent

of 52.6 per cent in the 1948 reg
iStration year, as compared with
ST. per cent in 1941 and 1875
per cent in 1945.
The reduction in vehicles re-
jected is in the face of the fact
that 60 per cent of all vehicles
are now seven or more years old" )"
it was pointed out.
Uncertainty of gasoline tax leg
islation makes it advisable to post
zone construction of third test
station, probably in the northwest
section, for another year, the traf-
fic director stated.
Two excise tax examiners were
requested to take care OF RESPONSE
bilities under the next 2 per cent
excise tax on motor vehicle titles
which went in effect last August /.
Title Work Increases.
The department asks a deputy
registrar of titles and tags and
four other employees for the Reg
istration and Title Section. in
view of the increase in motor ve-
hicle registrations and titling and
appurtenant work. A serious
backlog" exists, 1t was pointed out.
Registrations for the first six
months of 1949 totaled 180,479, an
average of 10000 a month, Mr..
Keneipp told the Commissioners.
while during the same period in
1948 the average number of tags
issued was 1926 a month.
He reported about $4,000 notices
from States to which former Dis
tirct residents have surrendered
District titles have piled up. The
section has been unable to pull
addressograph plates and correct
it's records, and as a result, thou
sands of persons no longer living
here or who have sold their cars
are getting useless re-registration
applications, he stated.
The budget request also in
cluded $4,000 additional for per
diem worker services to maintain
additional parking meters being
installed this year and to main
tain signal service.
A number of tieups in the traffic
signal system, quite few of them
extending over large downtown
areas, have resulted from the fact
that the signal maintenance crew
is not large enough to furnish
16-hour service, it was explained.

This agency. created in 1912 to

More Inspectors Sought.
The traffic director wants six
more motor vehicle inspectors in
order to obtain maximum capac-
ity use of the eight lanes COM
prising the Districts two inspec-

sixlanes have been operated con-
tin4ously because each lane must
have six inspectors. There are
only 48 inspectors. and annual
and sick leave accounts for an
avefage absence of six employees
for each work day of the year,
1t was explained.
During the fiscal year ended
last June 80, there were 324, 1872
inspections, or SO per cent more

was hurt on the eve Of the Su-
preme Courts new term and two
weeks to the day from his 51st
birthday.
He had flown here from Seattle
for a brief visit in this city where
he spent his boyhood and helped
work his way through grade and
high school as a newspaper car
Irier. He had planned to return
to Washington last night by plane
The several hour horseback
trip to the Chinook Pass area of
the High Cascades had been
planned in connection with Mr..
Douglas book. soon to be pub
lished.
With Elon J. Gilbert, Yakima
fruit broker, who has been a close
friend since they were youngsters,
Mr.. Douglas visited mountain
spots mentioned in the semi
autobiography.
He wished to see for himself
the locale described in tales by
two other Yakima friends and
mountain climbing enthusiasts,
Curtiss Gilbert, brother of Elop
and Clarence Truitt, both o.
whom now are dead.
Mr.. Douglas had stopped to
tighten his saddle cinch on a
narrow, rocky trail, and was re-
mounting when his horse became
frightened. The rearing animal
threw its rider, fell backward and
rolled over him as they both slid
down the steep, jagged slope 20
feet to a lower trail.
Mr.. Gilbert made his companion
as comfortable as possible and
then went for aid. but it was
more than an hour before a
stretcher could be brought up the
rugged hillside. Mr.. Douglas never
lost consciousness throughout the
long ordeal. He was hospitalized
here about four houlss after the
accident.
He has been a member Of the
Supreme Court more than 10
years, and returned recently with
his 17-year-old son. William, jr.,
from the Middle East and Europe,
where they spent seven weeks.
In Iran, some of their noun
tain climbing. which is the JUS
tees hobby, sent the Russians
into a tizzy. The Soviet radio
broadcast that Mr.. Douglas was
trying to discover what was going
on inside Russia and was accom-
panied by "a gang of spies" The
accusation brought a laughing
denial from the jurist.
Mr.. Douglas, who has a sum-
mer home in Eastern Oregon, had
been in this. State for several

Price Support Battle
Opens in Senate With
Anderson Plan Up
by the Asseeietsd Press

The Senate buckled down today
to a fight over farm legislation-a
politically hot issue that has criss-
crossed party lines.
Mindful of the hay President
Truman made in the Midwest
farm belt in his election campaign
last year. Senators came to grips
with the problem of how far the
Government should go in support
ing farm prices.
Before them was a compromise
bill worked out by a Senate agri-
culture subcommittee under the
guidance Of Senator Anderson,
Democrat, Of New Mexico, former
Secretary of Agriculture under Mr..
Truman.
Provide Flexible System.
It would set up a flexible sys-
tenn of Government-backed price
supports, ranging from IS to 40
per cent of parity for most basic
crops. The price props would
come down as crop supplies went
up.
Parity is a price intended to
give farmers fair return on their
crops in terms of what they have
to buy.
In principle. the Anderson bill
is much like the Aiken law enact
ed by the Republican controlled
s0th Congress last year to take
effect next January /. But the
Anderson measure underWrites
farm prices at a somewhat higher
level.
Senator Aiken, Republican, of
Vermont, author of last years act,
is backing it. But some Senators,
both Democrat and Republican,
want higher price supports for
basic crops.
Senator Elmer Thomas, Demo-
crat, of Oklahoma, chairman OF
the Senate Agriculture Commit
tee, said he plans to offer the pro-
gram of Secretary of Agriculture
Brannan as a substitute for the
Anderson bill.
I'm for the highest price sup
ports can get" he said.
The plan of Mr.. Brannan, who
succeeded Senator Anderson as
Secretary of Agriculture, would
support storable basic commodi-
ties through the present loan and
purchase mechanisms.
It would permit prices of per-
ishable commodities to drop to a
free market level. Then the Gov
ernment would make up the diff
ference between this level and a
predetermined fair return by
direct subsidy payments to
farmers.
The House voted down the
Brannan plan. two months ago.
The Senate Agriculture Commit
tee pigeonholed it.
Young Predicts Defeat.
Senators Young of North Da-
kota and Thye of Minnesota, Re-
publicans, said they hoped the
Senate would get a chance to
vote on it. Senator Young pre-
dicted it wouldn't. get more than
IS votes, IN the, Senate.
Mr.. Brannan contends his plan
would serve the dual purpose of
giving consumer cheaper food
prices and farmers a stable in
come. Republican farm leaders re-
tort that it would make farmers
dependent on Federal handouts
and that consumers would have
to pay for it through taxes.
The House voted to scrap the
Aiken law and continue for an
other year the high wartime level
of price supports-90 per cent Of
parity for most major crops.
Senator Anderson, however,
argued that attempts to main
tain high supports are likely to re-
suit in the whole program being
thrown "out the window" because
