And Roseburg is still without a municipal swimming pool. . The temperature reached 100.2 at 4 :30 Wednesday the hottest day of the year. Last year's highest was 101 degrees. Wednesday's high, however, was still within several de grees of reaching the all-time July high of. 109 in 1946. With the humidity well below the 30 percent mark, state forestry officials ordered suspension of all logging activities west of the Cas cade range summit. The suspen sion went into effect at midnight last night and will continue until further notice, according to for estry officials. h the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Are you following all this price control stuff in Washington? If , you aren't I d say you aren't miss- ing much. It's about 90 percent politics, so far as I can see. 1 have the uncomfortabe feeling that about all price control has accomplished is to put a lot of new job-holders on the federal pay roll. The argument is that we have to have price control to keep in- nation in check. I wonder. Intla-: tion is supposed to be caused by more money than things. That is I to say, your pockets are full of : money and the stores are empty of goods. So your money begins I to burn holes in your pockets and you start bidding up prices on the goods. Inflation follows. , Personally, m trn war. I haven't ! had any holes burned in any pock- eta by surplus money that is crying to be spent. It I have any problem at all, it lies in finding money enough to buy what goods I have to have. So far. I have felt no Inclination to throw money at salesmen to induce them to give goods to me instead of letting somebody else have them. In the last war. it was different. Then we really held prices down. And things were really scarce. We were in war up to our necks, and we knew it. After ten years of de pression, during which nobody had money enough to buy very much, our productive capacity had failed to keep pace with our population. There had been little or no factory expansion. As a result, we were ill equipped to meet the fabulous demands of a world war for production and more (Continued on Page 4) Highway Rerouting, Access Road Needs, Flood Control Receive C.Of C.

The blare wai expected to be controlled today w ith about 80 fire fighters on the fire line. Sparks from the fire blew over and started a spot fire near the Josephine county line. Origin of the main blaze was re ported to be a power saw which GaSOIIIifi Soill blew up. A crew of IS men with ! three caterpillars on the scene was Is UfwrPtAI PapiIc unable to prevent the blaze from 1 " nBIBW rCrilJj spreading rapidly. Fanned by "very strong wind," the fire con sumed nearly 20 acres in 20 min utes at the outset. Conditions were impossible for firefighting yesterday afternoon, said the DFPA. Temperatures were soaring and humidity was! very low. In addition, the area is very rough and ill adapted to using bulldozers, it was reported. One "Cat" Destroyed The fire stared in the J & J log ging operation about three miles up Cow creek from Glendale said the DFPA. One caterpillar was burned over. Assisting DFPA men on the fire line are many loggers from surrounding operations, men from the state forestry department and Josephine Forst Protective association personnel.

The weather bureau said tem peratures today would equal rec ord highs reiwrted Wednesday, inese ranged irom 95 at bealtle i to 1U2 at Eugene. Ore. Fire fighters labored under a ' blistering sun today to control a major tire raging through southwest Washington timberland south of Randle on the Cowlitz river. As temperatures soared toward the 100-de;iree marks for the sec ond day in a row, stale forestry of ficials called for additional help in battling the blaze. A forest authority said conditions were the worst since 1922. Iwis county Sheriff Frank Thayer said Governor I.anglie was preparing to ask Fort Lewis for 200 soldiers to help fight the fire, which Thayer said "could be an other Tillamook." Road Plans Call For Timber Data A study on timber removal in the county with an eye toward long range road planning is nesring completion, the county court an nounced Wednesday. Several large timber owners and operators in the county are being aked the amount of timber and timber products they expect to haul over certain roads in the next ten years. Two federal agencies concerned with forest lands were contacted for information required in the study. When all parties report, the county will then hsve something on which to base its long-range road policy, a county spokesman said. The study was begun early this spring at the direction of the county court. The data will be used to sV'termine the need for access roads and maintenance and im provement of road inks between the areas where the limber is re- moved and market areas. I ii naa Dcen nopea iy ine coumy - court that the study would be fin ished sometime in June. Failure of several of the contacted parties I to send in reports, however, has delayed the completion.

N. convoy. Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, chief U. N. delegate, said there would be no more cease-fire talk until the Reds agreed that my convoy, bearing the personnel of my choosing, including such press representation as I consider neces sary, will be cleared to the conference site." Joy ordered the entire 17-vehicle convoy to turn back from the Red check point where the newsmen were halted. The U. N. commander, Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, said it was "all or nothing."

Ridgway Stands Pat General Ridgway informed the Communists Wednesday that the "presence of a selected number of newsmen at a conference of such major importance is considered an inherent right by members of the United Nations." At that time he said flatly they would be "an integral part ot the bnited Nations command delega tion to any and all future sessions beginning 12 July." The U. N. announcement said General Nam "did not consider the presence of newsmen desir-J able at this time1' with sessions being held under war conditions and the agenda still uncompleted.

They admitted it was a long-shot gamble. Congressional mail Cap itol mil s barometer oi grass roots feeling has failed to date to re flect any groundswell of popular support for continued controls. For almost all of Wednesday's session, the House engaged in a sectional squabble over granting the President authority to disperse plants for security purposes. After nearly four hours of de bate, the House Wednesday voted 134 to 79 to kill the dispersal plan. Both Democrats and Republicans from the industrial east, openly fearful of losing heavy industry to the south and west, assailed the proposal as "socialistic" and as "regimentation" of industry. Other Provisions Okayed The House raised no objection to two other provisions ottered as part of the administration bill. One would give the government limited power to condemn property needed for defense purposes. The other provides a revolving fund of S2.10O.0O0.O00 for long-term con tracting for metals and other com modities needed in the defense effort. The present law set aside $1,600,000,000 for this purpose. With committee amendments out of the wav. the farm state group is due to bring up its proposal to kilt the 10 percent beef price roll back and ban future prices roll backs on all farm commodities. A drive is slso primed to en large the no price-rollhack plan to include all goods, industrial as well as farm. On Capitol hill and elsewhere, the administration continued to sound alarms about the future if Congress curbs the controls pro gram. Price Director Michael V. Di Salle told a news conference yes terday that auto prices will be raised if price rollbacks are barred.

Torrents Sweep Through Cities, Over Farms, With Losses Figured $85 Million TQPEKA, Kas. (AP) Flood waters poured over eastern and central Kansas in the greatest torrent in the state's history today and lapped over into part of Missouri leaving seven dead and five to eight missing.. At least five persons were dead in Kansas, and two In Missouri. Two more were killed by lightning at Fort Leon ard Wood, Mo., which was not affected by floods.' Army en gineers estimated damage from the floods totaled at least $85,000,000. It likely would go higher. The Kansas river valley was the hardest hit although the Neosho, Marat's Dea Cygnes, and Cottonwood rivers in Kansas were causing widespread damage and the Blue river in Missouri was overflowing in Kansas City, threatening many plants in the rich industrial district on the city'i east ern edge. Many of the state's major cities were deep under the wa ters of the swollen Kansas river, including the North Topeka and Oakland sections of Topeka, the state capital ; the north ern portion of Lawrence, home of Kansas university; Man hattan, Abilene, and parts of the Argentine section of Kan sas City, Kansas.

Two more breaks poured water into North Lawrence, 30 miles down stream. The State university is on a high hill and was not affected by the flood. The business district at Abilene was an island and at Manhattan only the tops of parking meters showed above the water that swirled through the business sec tion. Two Kansas river bridges col lapsed at Topeka as the stream swelled toward an estimated 33.S foot crest. Boat crews reported hundreds ot stranded residents who ignored the evacuation order wero appealing for help. They were banging on dishpani, firing shotguns, giving hog calls, waving bedsheets and calling oa any other means they could devise to attract attention. Surface travel in eastern Kansas was virtually halted except for short highway spans on hilltops.
