"IKE'S BANDWAGON" Adding a little flourish to the 1954 U.S. congressional election, eight "Ike Girls" are touring the country in a "Bandwagon' van. The idea, of course, is to win friends and influence voters for Eisenhower - sponsored Republi- cans. --Central Press Canadian, RUST RAVAGES Durum Wheat Hit Hard This Year WINNIPEG (CP)--Plant-wither- oe rust which has sharply cut year's Canadian wheat crop has hit hardest at durum whtat in a belt of the Canadian prairies and North Dakota. One authority has estimated the aver- age loss at 65 per cent, Durum is the grain used in macaroni and for months it has ! commanded top price and market- ing Jriority in western wheat. Top Jad bring $2.70 a bushtl at the head compared with about -1.70 for bread wheat. These points, along with the fact that durum deliveries are not re- stricted by any quota, led many western farmers to increase durum acreage this year. Western acreage has n estimated at 750,000 against 473,000 last year. Total Canadian wheat acreage is 28,437,- ESTIMATE LACKING No estimate has been made of this year's Canadian durum yield but farmers delivered about >: ' 000 bushels last year, Last year's durum crop in the U.S. was cut by rust to 12,900,000 from an antici- pated 39,000,000. The rust infesta- is as bad there this year. Dr. F. J, Greaney, director of the Line Elevators farm service said follo a 4,000-mile field th h southern prairies ' that rust losses to Canadian wheat will be the worst since 1935 when the crop was cut by 87,000,000 bushels. Rust had struek in south- ern Manitoba, southeastern Sas katchewan and a belt 75 miles wide through Saskatchewan. In these areas, durum wheat would suffer more than bread wheat--the major crop. "Some durum "fields will be al- most completely destroyed by stem rust," he said. "Losses to durum wheat through- out southern Manitoba and south- eastern and south-central Saskatch- ewan will be little different from those in North Dakota, where it is reliably estimated the damage from stem rust alone will average at least 65 per cent. _ "The durum variety Golden Ball is standing up extremely well un- der this year's epidemic of Race 15B stem rust," he said. "Although Golden Ball is not eligible for grades above 3 Canada western, it appears to possess high resistance to stem rust, and considerable re- sistance to leaf rust as well Golden Ball will yield well this year." Dr." Greaney said durums west of Swift Current and in southern Alberta were resisting rust fairly well and there were prospects of a "pretty fair crop." The situation t progressively worse east of wift rent. HARVESTING STARTED Harvesting is becoming general in southwestern Manitoba and first of grain are reaching peg.

Frisco Cable Car To Remain By HAL BOYLE * SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Can you imagine the uproar in Paris if someone proposed razing the Eiffel Tower? or the screams in Brooklyn if someone sold the Dod- gers to Dallas? Well, the same kind of turmoil has been going on here all year since they cut San Francisco's famous cable car system by half. The cable car, long a symbol of San Francisco, was regarded as one of the wonders of the west after its investion here in 1873. Today thousands of motorists re- gard the antiquated little Tooner- ville-type trolleys, which are pulled along by whirring underground cables, as one of the unfortunate transportation blunders of history. INTO THE PAST But the slow-moving little cars-- "Ladies will remain seated; gentlemen may ride standing out side at their own risk' --are be- loved by tradition - proud native San Franciscans. Millions of tour- ists wouldn't think their visit to the city complete without a ride. It gives them the thrilling feeling of a brief journey back into an adventurous past. But time has passed the cable car by in terms of efficiency. They cost three times as much to oper- ate as a bus, move only about half as fast, and are great middle- of-the road traffic blockers. Faced with these stern facts, the city board of supervisors last Janu- ary cut the 11-mile cable car track- age leaving only the historic lines that would give visitors the most Pitre sie views of the city. ETTE POUR IN But letters poured in from all over the country urging that the cable car, as the vocal soul of old San Francisco, not be lost. Indig- nant citizens last June passed, among other measures, an amend- ment to the city charger providing that the cable car should be part of San Francisco forever. But, significantly, some 60,000 voters straddled the fence by refusing to vote on the issue. That should have settled the problem, but it hasn't. Sentimental lists, perhaps including many who haven't stepped on a ecable car since the invention of the bile, have kept the fight raging. They still feel, although bewildered officials protest it isn't so, that the curtailment of the cable car net- work is only the first step in a dark plot to abandon it altogether. is therefore not suitable for the needs of macaroni manufacturers. Dealing with the general rust picture, the Canadian Pacific Rail- way said reports of rust infection were received last week from 114 points in Manitoba, 292 in Sas- katchewan and 16 in eastern Al- Canadian National Railways said deterioration due to leaf rusf is becoming more evident each week in large areas, chiefly in Sas- | katchewan. : Reports of milling companies | also told of widespread rust in- fection and failure of some durum rope, llowing is an estimate by Catelli's Durum Institute of the | West's durum acreage this year | with last year's estimates in brack- | ets: Manitoba 100,000 (70,000); Sas- katchewan 550,000 (370,000); Al- berta 100,000 (33.000).
