HE ADDS: IThero has been a growing Reeling throughout the country that price Increases would be about the worst thing that could happen to us. To my mind, LACK OK PRODUCTION is the worst thing." THAT is tc sa.v, if you want It but CAN'T G ET IT what dif ference does the price make? This newspaper's photographic department, for example, is out of flash bulbs. It would rather pay more for them than to go on doing without them. (When you want butter, but, can't get It, you may or may not feel the same way.) IF CPA Boss Small were lust an other Washington bureaucrat talking to the reporters, what he has. to say might not be signifl canU One suspects, however, that this Isn't the case. t V It has been fairly obvious all along that the EASY way out of out strike troubles would be to permit Industry to increase prices enough to offset wage Increases. Politicians, like the rest of us, like the easy way out They sel dom take the HARD way. It Is a fair guess that Instead of merely going off at half-cock Civilian Production Boss Small was PUT UP TO IT by the higher-ups, who are on a very hot spot Indeed as a result of a strike situation that has got badly out of hand. They've got themselves Into a position where permitting prices to rise enough too offset the cost of rising wages Is about the only way to get off this hot spot with out being badly burned. If this guess is accurate, we shall see OPA receding slowly In to the background, muttering an grily Into its beard as It retires. UHATEVER we do, let's not kid If ourselves about this new pol ley (if it Is to be THE new pol icy.) What it means Is that we are shifting to a new level In which the lucky ones will have MORE dollars that will BUY LESS. (The unlucky ones are another story. Unfortunately for them. they are scattered and unorgan ized and their PRESSURE power Is small.) THE stock market reacts prompt' I ly to what looks like tha new government wage-price . policy. Trading . Is so heavy on Tuesday morning that the ticker Is swamped again, although tho price ups ate not so sharp as on Monday, when the vague outlines of tills new policy began to emerge dimly from the mists.. It is the business of smart stock market traders to see these things coming and act quickly. They acted quickly Monday. Motorists Told Not to Use Vacant License Plat SALEM. Ore..

Stento, Being one of those persons who loves to stand around and kibitzer while others work, we've been neglecting our editorial deuk woefully for the past two weeks while erectors from the Mergenthaler factory have been installing a new Model 30 Linotype machine in the News-Review's mechanical department. Although we've been around newspaper shops for more than 25 years, we never tire of watching a linotype in operation. There is something fascinating about the machine a piece of equipment which drops metal "mats" as keys on a complicated keyboard are depressed. Each "mat" has a letter indented in its face. A line of mats slides against a mold and hot metal is poured, filling the indenta tions and casting a "slug." The "slug" bears raised letters, formed by the indentations on the "mat" faces, and thus produces a line of type, from which the machine gets its name, "Linotype." After slugs are cast, mats are returned to a distributor and, through a combination of notches, fitting on a serrated V-shaped slide, are fed back into proper channels in a magazine, ready to drop again when needed. To accomplish all this, there is a complicated piece of machinery which seems almost human. In fact, operators will tell you these machines are human. Furthermore, they have a couple of gremlins "etaoin" and "shrdlu" which are cropping up continually in places where they should not be seen. To the unitiated, we might explain that "etaoin" and "shrdlu" are formed by dragging a finger down each, of the first lines on the keyboard, a practice of operators in filling out a "pi line" a line in which an error is made. For some unknown reason these lines are constantly getting into print without being discovered. Progress in development of typesetting machines in the past quarter century has been remarkable. We remember the first one we ever saw a one-magazine affair, operated by a water-driven turbine and heated by a carbide gas system. By way of contrast, the the News-Review plant has a total of 42,962 parts, three electric motors, an automatic electric heater on the melting pot, a saw which trims slugs to desired length, an air blower, and a control system as complicated as an airplane instru ment panel. It places 1$ different type faces, in eight sizes, at instant command of the operator. Furthermore, it will mix" any two desired sizes or faces on one slug. ,You are familiar with advertisements, particularly by food stores, in which an. item is listed in large letters, an explanatory or descriptive mention is given in small type, and the price follows in big type. Something like this: ONIONS Sura Tear Jerkers, lb.'.... 6c jiflSs new machine handles greatest of ease. Incidentally, the type face known as "Memphis." It is a comparatively new style of type which is sweeping the country for advertising and head letter use. Addition of this machine is in line with the policy of ing to provide the best service ing family of advertisers. If that more newsprint is available so we can give our adver tisers more space, we will be equipped to handle their most exacting demands. Because we are confident and industrial expansion is years, we are making every effort to keep abreast of the times and publish, on behalf of our advertisers and readers, the best possible newspaper within our ability. Efficient publishing requires modern machinery, and we are adding to our facilities as rapidly as equipment becomes available. N.Umpqua Power Tie With Klamath Basin Copco Plan KLAMATH FALLS, Jan. 30. MV-The proposed power plant on the North Umpoua river at Toko tee Falls will be connected di rectly with the Klamath basin by a. transmission line, Californla lregon Power Company officials here revealed In announcing de tails of the planned development.

T Under prewar conditions it was considered a poor investment if rental property would not pro vide a gross 10 per cent on the in vestment, leaving a net 6 per cent when taxes, insurance and upkeep were deducted. . Under existing regulations, the rent control agency maintains this policy (quote): "The rent regulation does not attempt to guarantee a return on your in vestment," and arbitrarily sets rent.iis so low that the Investor is fortwiate if he grosses 5 per cent and has 2 per cent net after deducting .for higher . taxes, inf creased insurance, increased costs, of upkeep ard depreciation. Rent control that regulates only for the benefit of the renter and does not at the same timo protect the investor affiliates it self with the principles of gov ernment found in Moscow, not In a government of the people. .b.v. the people and for the people oi the United States of America. If the rent control agency would set up standards of reason able returns on investment, wllh reasonable Increases in rent duo to increased taxes. Increased up keep due to higher costs of labor and materials, so that the lnves tor would know in advance what his probable Income would .be, such would be fair and legitimate regulation.
