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."

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."

Inflation worse
In Philippines
Since Liberation
Many Staples in
Islands Lost in
Battles
MANILA, July 16 (UP) Filip
ino sources said today inflation
is now worse under the Ameri
cans than it was under the Jap
anese. 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.
