AFL Fills in For 300 Out on Strike PORTLAND, July 10 (UP) Workers recruited from AFL or ganizations in Salem, Hillsboro and Vancouver today are filling in for 300 sympathy strikers at the Libby, McNeill & Libby can nery here after efforts to bring soldiers from Vancouver bar racks into the strike-bound plant failed, said Charles R. Smith, re ceiver and administrator of the AFL cannery workers local. Smith said the commandant of the barracks turned down the request for soldier workers be cause so many are engaged in fighting forest fires. "The AFL will continue to sup ply help," Smith said, "to can all the fruit ordered from the plant by the government.1' About 300 workers struck Fri day in protest against the dis charge of Kenneth Smith, former president of the cannery workers AFL union and later active in a move to obtai a CIO charter for the employes. Lamb, Beet Sugar Subsidies Proposed WASHINGTON, July 10 (UP) Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney, D.. Wyo., today introduced a bill teet sugar production by means aimed at increasing lamb and of subsidy payments to produc ers. Under provisions of his bill, beet sugar producer subsidies would be increased by $2 to $2.50 a ton. The lamb subsidy, to be paid directly to the producer, would range from two to'2',4 cents a pound, at an estimated cost to the government of $50 000,000. O'Mahoney said subsidies con ititute the only means of obtain ing the needed production of both commodities in the absence cf price increases, which the of fice of price administration will not allow.

Man With Staring Eyes Talk of London LONDON, July 16 (UP) From Fleet street to Hyde park, Lon doners today talked of the short man with staring eyes who can't keep his hands ..from women's throats. 't, He apparently 'poesn't want to kill them. He has twined string about his victims' necks, and he has gripped their throats in his hands, but never hard enough to cut off their breathing. Thirteen-yeur-old Betty Barratt told her parents she awoke to find the man in her room and she felt his fingers on her throat. She screamed and he fled. Another girl reporting the same experience said' he whispered, "Let me kiss you." 65 Cents Hour Low Wage Requested WASHINGTON, July 10 (UP) Congress was asked today to endorse a minimum wage rati; of 05 cents an hour lu correct sub standard living conditions of mil lions of workers who now receive less. After a lengthy series of hear ings, a senate education and labor subcommittee recommend ed approval of a resolution which says "It is the sense of congress that a straight time hourly rale of 65 cents is the minimum be low which the national war labor board and national (railway) mediation board shall consider any wage rate substandard." i 1 r -.yi ' ''.Km v ; sssssssA .1 aS SPOTS QUEEN Taking her at face value, judges in tho Children's Aid society's annual frecklo conlost in Now York picked Frances Scully, 11, above, as queen of the show.

Earlier it was an nounced more than 135 square miles had been burned out in other Japanese cities and the toll was rising almost hourly as every type of warplane and warship in er..-'my honii'land in attacks the the American arsenal raked the Japanese were unable even to challenge let alone hall.

The emperor urged all aviation units throughout Japan "to fight with ull then power and spirit for continuation of the safety of the throne." But the Mainichi Shimbun held little hope for im mediate counter-measures by Japanese airmen until the allied ground invasion. "Until then," tho newspupcr said, "the Japanese air force will avoid all wastage and reserve her power for the final battle."

Living costs are highor than before the liberation, they said. Philippines . inflation started about a year after the Japanese arrived. It rose steadily and when the Americans landed on Lcyte last October the real peso was worth 101) Japanese pesos. Inflation spiraled up again as soon as we landed, partly because so many commodities were de stroyed in the battles for Luzon and Manila, Prices now are 10 to 12 times what they were be fore the war, but there are fewer pesos in 'circulation. .' The Filipinos contemptuously called the Japanee occupation peso "Mickey Mouse" during Jap: anese rule. Now they're calling tho real peso "Donald Duck." An accurate inflation index is not uvailable, but government sources estimated that fewer than 100,000,000 pesos now are circu lated, compared with a 70,000,000 peak before the war. Black marketing is one of the principal means of livelihood in Manila. Tho Philippines emer gency control administration is making an effort to hold prices to legal limits. When several American shiploads of consumers goods arrive prices s.iould drop slightly but it nuy be several years before prices go dowr. to a level even double that of the pre-war era. Black marketing is prevalent 1 among dealers catering to the GIs, particularly in restaurants and nightclubs. Neuner Says Banks ' Can't Guarantee Third Class School : SALEM, July 10 (UP) Three written opinions were rendered " by Attorney General George Neu ner today, in response to re- " quests by. state officials. " Neuner advised state bank su- .. perintendent 'A. A. Rogers banks of the state, both .national and . local, are not permitted by law ' to pledge assets to secure the funds of a schol disrict of the third class?' Such security Is per--missable for school districts of the first and second class. Neuner informed Roy Mills,' ; secretary of the state board of '.' control, that a youth should be committed to the state school for ' boys upon sentencing whether or not he is afflicted with venereal disease. The fact he had such uV disease is no bar to admittance. ' In a third opinion, Neuner told ; Dr. J. C. Evans, superintendent " of .the Oregon state hopital, that ; in the event it became necessary to have a court appoint a guardian for an inmate of the hospital, ' such appointment should be made in the county of the in mate's residence, or in the county from which he was committed.
