R RENTALS AND REPAIRS Columbia River Highway Blocked PORTLAND, May M UP) A rock slide left the Columbia river highway and the main line of the Union Pacific railroad closed east of Portland today. The slide ripped down about two miles west of Bonneville dam at 9:30 o'clock last night, dumping an estimated 2,000 yards of rock on both the highway and the railroad tracks. Both rail and motor traffic were routed to the Washington side of the Columbia river. The extra rail traffic over the Spokane, Portland and Seattle line there will cause some delay in trains, Union Pacific officials said. ! llichwav experts estimated It would take two days to clear the highway. The railroad had hopes its line would be cleared in 24 hours. The cause was not determined at once, although E. A. Collier maintenance engineer for the state highway department, said a road grading project there might have disturbed the land. today through i deal ending a long boiling dispute between Amer lean oil companies and the Bri tish government. Derationing was made possible because the Standard Oil com pany of New Jersey and Califor nia Tetfas Oil company agreed to supply oil and take British ster ling instead ol dollars in payment, tne government said, ine provi sion was that Britain would aban don rationing.

The House rules committee which has a big voice in fixing the legislative program, cleared the measure to the House, but with a provision that it is not to be con sidered before June 12. The House Is taking what amounts to a week's holiday over Memorial day. Many members are not expected back be fore June 12. Present rent control law expires June 30. In addition to uncertainty over its future, the rent control agency is running out of funds for present op. erations. The office of Housing Ex pediter Tighe E. Woods said djit missal notices have been sent all emnlovees. "We're broke," a high official of the agency sain, "and all ut us nave been given notices which become effective June 6 unless Congress votes more money." The expediter's office, whose sole function is to administer the fed eral rent control program has about 2,800 people on its payroll, Tigresses Lose To Grants Pass The Canyonville girls' Softball team was beaten 15-4 by Grants Pass Tuesday, ending a Tigress five-game winning streak. The Tigress pitchers were hit hard and lacked tne usual tine fielding support by their team mates. Canyonville failed to score in the first inning as Grants Pass took control of the game, scoring five runs on three hits, a walk and three errors. Canyonville came to life in the second frame with two runs, but Grants Pass scored two more runs on an error and home run by Jor don. The Cavegirls went on to in crease their lead, scoring runs in Chance For New Tax Bill Wanes WASHINGTON. May 26 -JJPy- Rep. Mason (R-Ill) said today house tax-writers have killed chances for a new tax bill by such inconsistencies as the rejection of a loan to require cooperatives to pay normal business taxes. The House ways and Means com mittee yesterday rejected propos als to make certain now-exempt income of the co-ops subject to regular corporation tax rates. Mason, a committee member. called that action an indication of "political favoritism for co-ops and said it was just on more sign that "there will be no tax bill this year. ' That would sound the death knell for committee-approved cuts in ex cise taxes totalling Jl .080.000 ,000. The house group is trying to slash excises and raise additional rev enue all in one bill. While it refused to vote new co op taxes, the committee did vole to pick-up an estimated $20,000,000 extra annually by tightening uo on taxes due under present law from co-op stockholders and on the patronage divdends received by co-op patrons. To get the extra dollars in the co-op field, the committee said the 10 percent withholding tax on dividends recently approved for corporations should apply also to co-ops. Such withholdings increase no body's actual tax obligations, but are intended to make certain that persons who receive dividends pay taxes on them as part Of their personal income. Hailstorm Deals Loss To West Virginia Crops ROMNEY. W. Va.. May 26 tP) A severe hailstorm pelted the eastern panhandle of West Virginia yesterday, causing extensive crop damage and disrupting communications.

The stricken area is on the fringe of the rich orchard belt that includes northern Virginia and western Maryland. Damage to iruit trees could not Be estimated immediately, but it was expected to run nigh. SPECIALS FOR SATURDAY, MAY 27TH Remarkable ASPARAGUS 19c No. 2 Cans LIBBY'S TOMATO JUICE 46-or.

Fellows (R-Me) told House colleagues yesterday they might well ponder these thoughts during the Memorial day holidays: "More alarming than the know ledge that others possess the se cret of the atom bomb is the rec ord of failure to stockpile spiri tual resources. "We have more houses than in 1900 but fewer homes. . "We have better school build ings, but no greater wisdom. "'e have labor and time-saving devices unknown 50 years ago, but find no more opportunity to be with our children. "We have gained in pecuniary wealth, and lost in sense of val ues." Fellows suggested that atten tion to these things would be a good way to honor America's war dead. OPEN EVENINGS AND SUNDAY Heavy Decline Noted In Attendance At Movies HOLLYWOOD, May 26 UP) Motion picture theatres suffered a 20,000,000 a week attendance drop last year,' Film Daily estimates. Film Daily says its figures are a guess, because no actual check has ever been made. It says tele vision s actual oamage on movie business has been over-emphasized. Attendance is off in maior TV areas Los Angeles, New York and Chicago butit also is down in such non-TV spots as Hawaii and Canada. The answer, thinks the paper, is that people now have a diver sity of entertainment, and, more importantly, less money to spend. Fish Tag Card Law Is Upheld The attorney general's office has handed down an opinion to the ef fect that the salmon-steelhead tag card regulation is enforceable. Cop ies of this regulation, issued by the Oregon State Game commission at its January meeting, are on file with tne secretary ot state. Recently, a number of fishermen have been disregarding the regula tion because of rumors that it was unenforceable. The game commis sion requested this opinion so that the legality of the salmon-steelhead tag card would be firmly estab lished and anglers could comnlv with the regulation. The state po lice have received copies of the attorney general's opinion, and the regulation will be enforced. The tag card for tallying salmon and steelhead catches when the fish are over 20 inches in length is issued free at any Oregon State Game commission license agency. A bag limit of 20 salmon and steelhead has been in effect since 1948, but it has been difficult to enforce. The tag card regulation is designed to provide a more even distribution of the fish; to prevent excessive catches; and to furnish a measure of the catch. every Inning except the fifth. Grants Pass got 10 hits in the ball game while Canyonville was held to five hits. Jordon and Robinson of the vic tors paced the hitting, each getting three hits for four times at bat. Joan Young played errorless ball and got two hits for three times at bat to star for Canyonville. The Canyonville girls hope to avenge the defeat when both teams play a rematch at Canyonville on June 1. Wife, 95, Husband, 39, Face Money Troubles BRUSHTON, N. Y., May 26-WP) Mrs. Liza Murray Magee, who preferred "a young man's love to an old age pension," is spending her second wedding anniversary away from hubby.

Aid Continuance To Needy Schools Favored WASHINGTON, May 26 -UP) A continuing oroeram of federal assistance to local school districts overburdened by government acti vities was approved yesterday by the House Labor committee. The committee estimates that more than 600 local 'districts would be eligible for approximately $30, 000.000 a year of federal aid in operating and maintaining over crowded schools in areas adjoin' ing government installations. Poultry Breeding Exacting Science, States Genetist Poultry breeding is a very ex acting science, involving the study and knowledge of genetics, Dr. Paul Bermer, Oregon Stale college geneticist, told the Douglas County Poultry Breeders at their monthly meeting last Saturday aftfnoon in th K.P. hall. Dr. Bernier's talk following a brief business meeting, presided over by President R. Cary. The study of genetics, the branch of biology which deals with the effect of genes in transmitting and determing hereditary characteris tics, is only 50 years old, so this important phase of the breeding program is comparatively young, Dr. Bernier pointed out. Before that the breeder was forced to de pend upon his native ability to select and develop his improve ments. He illustrated the techical por tion of his lecture on the black board, making it much easier for the layman to understand. In this manner he developed the fact that in genetic breeding, where only a simple combination of two genes is involved, as in cross breeding for color, there are few possibili ties. But in breeding for egg pro duction, where large numbers of genes are incorporated, the num ber of variations is almost unlim ited. Besides the combination of genes, there are also the dominant, recessive and hereditary factors to be considered, along with the effect of the transmission of char acteristics and other normal var iations, he pointed out, The actual program of breeding calls for accurate measurements of individuals involved for eggs. weight, conformation, hatchability and livability, he said. The use of records in selecting is also very important as are the matings. The breeder must likewise consider the effect of management and feeds and produce stock suitable for av erage conditions. His work is slow and discouraging because, after The Weather Fair .nd continued warm today. Saturday mostly cloudy and cooler.

Poultry breeders have a heavy responsibility to the in dustry. The grower is greatly in debted to the good breeder, he concluded. Dr. Bernier comes from Canada, where the poultry breeding pro gram is considered very important and is supported by the Dominion government. After his lecture. Dr. Bernier held an informal discussion. Commerce Dept. Aide's Loyalty Is Questioned WASHINGTON. May 26 UP) ' A Senate committee is reported to have urged the firing of Michael J.
