Oct. l.-tJP Undersecretary of Stale Jame E. Webb charged today that Rus sia has turned lti eat tierman occupation zone Into "an oppera tivt police date." Webb In a bluntly worded for mal statement announced that the United States rejects out right the claim made by Mos cow In notes over the weekend that the west Is responsible for splitting the administration of Germany. He declared that Rus sia and not the western powers is to blame. The statement came after dis patch of a note to Russia pro testing the "shocking" treatment of Americans who stray into the Soviet zone of Germany. The note said: This treatment the United State finds to be in shocking contravention of the most ele mentary standards of interna tional decency." Webb's staioment said "strenu ous efforts" by the west to cany out the principles of the 1343 Potsdam declaration have been only partly successful "because of obstinate Soviet opposition to every constructive proposal pre sented by the weslpin powers." There was an obvious tie-up with the earlier note. In con nection with the note this country notified Moscow through Ambas sador Kirk that It "expects that those Soviet officials responsi ble for these acts will be pun ished." Czechs Arrested In New Church Control Program PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, Oct. 7 (PI Mass arrests of Prague citizens and new government con trols over the church were report ed in the Czech capital Wednes day. Reliable sources said nearly 1. 000 persons were arrested In Prague Tuesday night. The Prague prraa disclosed that the country's communist cabinet has voted to demand in ventories of all church proerty, and to give the government pow er to dismiss from his post anv Czech priest whose citizenship is questionable. These, with other sweeping re strictions on the church, will he vested in a new cabinet ministry for church affairs which will ad minister the new communist sponsored church control hill. The ministry will be headed by an appointee of communist Pres ident Gottwald. There was speculation In iTague mat the mass arrestj might Indicate forthcominu lira. arrests : son trials similar to the recent Budapest hearing In w hich Laslo Fatk, former Hungarian foreign minister, and two others were sentenced to death.

A few days ago I wrote a piece pointing out that legislatures nave sadly overlooked the most Important figure in our civiliza tion the housewife. They fret about the problems of the businessman, set limits to the stint of the laboring man. and vote cash on the barrel head to protect the farmer against rainy days. But for the woman with the mop, the lady of the house, they have voted no 40 hour week, no cash subsidies, no benefit payments, no bonuses for raising the nation's chief crop childten. Well, should Congress and President Truman set up a new cabinet post secretary of the home? Should housewives get pensions? Scores of ladles across the land dropped their dust cloths, sat down and wrote me how they felt. And their answer as to w'hether the government owed them anything boiled down to this: 1 "Yes, of course." 2 "No, naturally." Samples of Opinions One mother wrote objecting "to the prevailing sense of values which excludes from economic consideration the work of the home woman." Her Idea was hat mothers mold the character of future citizens, and should be paid In some way by the state for this Important function. Mrs. Sue Persons of Manrian, N. D., thought It might be simpler If women just did more to solve the problems of government and International politics even against male objections they are getting too mg lor their un mentionables." "We have had a lot of ex perience cleaning up messes be-1 tore," she added firmly, "and we couldn't make a worse mud dle." . An Illinois wife ohserved: "The housewife should bo con sidered by the government. Pos sibly a pension plan or a week's holiday at the government's ex pense to do a little traveling. Of course I would suggest a set time for the pensions to start after 25 years of faithful de votion." An Opposite View On the other hand. Mrs. Irene Pllackas of Chicago Heights, 111., said flatly: "We absolutely do not want any handouts from Washington. "We'd be sure to lose not only our Independence to clean house how and when we please, what to cook, when to spank, what to say to the better half, but we'd have to pay some jerk 5 percent for telling us off. "The woman who has children and a home never mopes or is frustrated. We're too busy. We don't want any special recogni tion. We leap our rewards as we go along." Yess, ma'am! ! ! Who brought the subject up anyway?" a hunter, near Bolan lake and guided to Cave Junction jester- uay. The men are J. A. Sadler and Dale Hrown, route 4, Grants Pass. They told M. C. Athey. pub lisher of the Illinois Valley ivws, at Cave Junction, that they had been camping for about two weeks and could not find the camp site after having made a projecting sortie. They had car ried only an axe and a pocket knife with them. They are re covering from hunger and ex posure. Accidents In V. S. homes killed 33.000 people in 19-18.

But Mr. Rat had left In its place a bit of quartz in which was a good sprinkle of gold. "The prospector," continues Guy Glasier, In a recent issue of "The Desert Rat", "began baiting the rat with bright ob jects. He put flapjack flour in his gold pan with a cartridge shell In the center so the rat would get flour on his feet and make tracks to his home. . "Several days of this and it led the prospector to a crevice in a nearby hill. He dug for several days before breaking through to what? The sight of gold, gold! No, the rat's nest. Yet when he cleaned out the nest there was a vein of rich ore! He named It the Pack Rat Mine." That's a sample of the "yarns sent In by readers" of the at tractive little publication that has been coming to our mailbox for some months.

Ore., Oct 7-(.P) The Hawaiian pineapple barge at The Dalles and Harry Bridges were the key topics today as the annu al Oregon CIO convention opened here.

Lead w.g the fight against the state leadets will he Bridges' Lon,T. shoremen from Astoria and Port land. The Portland Longshoremen submitted to the executive hoard a resolution calling on the gov ernment to drop a perjury charge against Bridges. The resolution said the charge was a "move to destroy" the Longshore union, headed by Bridges. The executive hoard, however, recommended that the conven tion reject the resolution. The light over this resolution Is expected to bring up the "hot cargo" pineapple at The Dalits. The pineapple was barged over before end of a Hawaiian Ixini; shore strike. It was picketed, and owners were unable to unload. The discussion may Indicate whether Longshoremen now are willing to let the barge be un loaded. THE DALLES. Oct. 7 - (.11 Now that the Longshore strike In Hawaii apparently is settled. wll the bargeload of Hawaiian pine apple here tw unloaded? Not necessarily. CIO Long shoremen, who labeled it "hoi cargo" have Indicated the barge will have to go hack to Hawaii before the union will touch it. The barge was brought over while the strike still was on. It was picketed here, but the Ha waiian Pineapple company at tempted to unload anyway. lence resulted last week with two non-union workers hurt and un loading equipment damaged. So the Hrt ot Yhe Dalles cancelled the company's permit to unload. But the company has not mov ed the barge. Unloading equip ment has been repaired. The company has petitioned the M.ltl; to declare Interference with the unloading and unfair la bor practice under the Taft-Hartley law. A ,Vasco county grand Jury be- Let Us Pray fin Viaknttt S.

SENATOR Byrd, of Virginia, I told the senate the other day: j "Since the first of July (when our new fiscal year started) we have been running Into the red at the rate of forty million dol lars a day.

YOU might say to your father: "Dad, I need a new pair of pants. I need 'em bad. These old ones are Just about to fall apart. In these days, a guy just can't get along without pants." It would be a perfectly reason able request. It is TRUE that In these modern days pants are more or less Indispensable. The time is here when a person with out pants Is handicapped gravely almost anywhere except In a nudist colony. (Just as the West is handicapped by the lack of roads to handle Its growing traf fic.) But if your old man was squandering his dough with both hands on friends who were con stantly demanding more and more from him, he might say to you: "Son, you'll Just have to make your old pants do. I've got so many places to put every dol lar I can rake and scrape that I can't spare the money."

DOYLE'S Sales & Service Highway 99 It Garden Valley Phone PU Cheesecake OKd By Bible-Reading Movie Aspirant HOLLYWOOD, Oct. . JP) A beautiful blonde who spends her spare time in Bible study is the newest addition to the ranks of movie hopefuls. And she's Jane Russell's sister-in-law, too. Universal-International an nounced Wednesday the signing of Leslye Banning, 18. She is married to Jane's brother, Wal lace, a navy aviation machinist's mate. Miss Banning signed the stu dio's new clause which requires bathing suit art for the first live years with one proviso: "I see no harm in posing in a bathing suit," said the shapely Leslye. "But I feel it will be time to stop when I have children. 1 expect to have six, four boys and two girls." The studio agreed that after she's a mother, there will be no more cheesecake. Miss Banning Is a member of the Lutheran church in nearby Glendale. She spends spare eve nings studying the Bible at a Van Nuys class conducted by Mrs. Geraldine Russell, Jane's mother, which the latter also attends frequently. She says she hopes soon to become a Sunday school teacher. Lightning Causes Power Failure In Northwest PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 7. (JPl Power failure from a lightning strike blacked out western Ore egon and Washington for as much as 20 minutes at some points yesterday afternoon. Bonneville power administra tion reported that lightning knocked out two 230,000-volt lines between Bonneville dam and the J. D. Ross sub-station at Van couver, Wash.
