Jap Evacuees
Work Plan
Agreed
SAN FRANCISCO, May 23-P)
The federal government Saturday
night announced an agreement
with Oregon state and county of
ficials, and the Amalgamated Sug
ar company under which Japanese
evacuees may work voluntarily
in the sugar beet fields of Mal
heur county, eastern Oregon.
Conditions under which the
Volunteer workers would give up
their farm jobs and return to
evacuee assembly- or relocation
centers were outlined in the new
pact.
M. 8. Eisenhower, national
director of the war relocation
authority, disclosed the agree
ment, affecting directly approx
imately 400 Japanese now be
ing recruited at the Portland
assembly center for the Mal
heur county work.
Recruiting at the Portland cen
ter has been slow, authorities said,
because the evacuees were un
certain aoout tneir status once
they gat into the. harvest fields
Eisenhower said his agency had
- reached an acrromnt with Clnv
Charles A. Sprague of Oregon un
der which state and local law en
forcement officials would provide
assurance 1 they could pro tec
evacuees, and assume full respon
sibility for their Drotection.
"The governor of Oregon, the
officials of "Malheur county, and
Amalgamated Sugar company,
. as an employer, and the US em
, pleyment service have now met
' . all the prescribed conditions,"
Eisenhower stated.
"Consequently, 400 evacuees
are being recruited at the Port
land assembly center, and are
temporarily moving to Malheur
county where they are needed
because of a recognized labor
. shortage to help save that coun-
. ty's sugar beet crop." -

Congressmen
Dislike Ration
WASHINGTON, May 23-(JP)
Strong sentiment against exten
sion of gasoline rationing over the
whole nation was expressed Sat
urday by many congress members
from states which now are not re
stricted.
"From my point of view it's ab
surd," said Senator O'Mahony
(D-Wyo). "The economy of this
country is . geared to the road."
Senator Brown (D-Mich) wrote
Price Administrator Leon Hen
tferson asking for "the fullest in
vestigation of the general situa
tion" and "ample publicity as to
the reasons before any such step
was taken. ,
His republican colleague. Sen
ator Vandenberg, told newspaper
men he had written Henderson at
length asking that every recourse
be' exhausted before general gas
oline rationing was invoked.
It was disclosed Friday that the
office of defense transportation Is
working on a plan for nation-wide
gasoline rationing primarily for
the purpose of saving tires. Such
an order would be subject to ap
proval by the war production
board.

bankruptcy were met, although
all agreed that on merchandise
priced in March on a basis of
earlier wholesale prices rather
than on those asked by jobbers
that same month there would be
loss of much of the markup need
ed to meet rising overhead costs.
Eventual failure to stock such
goods may be the answer if there
are no adjustments in the rulings,
it was declared.
In this one respect many a
small merchant declared him
self more fortunate than the
larrer buyer because by the
very nature of his store and
stock he was forced to turn
over merchandise rapidly dur
inr the period of risinr prices
and his maximum March price
was based on the myiwnrn
charred that same month by his
wholesalers. Just how anyone
could determine what his March
maximum had been was ques
tioned, too;
- Rumors of possible establish
ment of an OPA branch office in
Salem brought approval from rep
resentatives of all groups of mer
chants, who maintained that no

tion of the new regulations might
be undertaken by such an office
eventually it must help sweep the

Delegation
WASHINGTON, Mar 23hCP)
Proposals were advanced Saturday
to include representatives of all
the United Nations in a projected
conference of American and Brit
ish legislators on war and peace
aims. At the same time some op
position developed to the general
proposition of such a meeting at
this stage of the war.
Senator Austin of Vermont,
the assistant republican leader,
said he wholly endorsed the idea
of British-American conferences
on war and peace problems, but
believed that spokesmen for other
nations ought to be invited to sit
in.
But Republican Leader Mc
Nary of Oregon was not per
suaded that any rood could be
accomplished by such a visit as
was suggested tentatively to con
gressional chieftains Friday by
an unnamed member of the Brit
ish parliament. "
As outlined then, the plan was
to have' a bi-partisan group of 10
anA rnrntativea visit
London to discuss with parliament
leaders the problems of the war
and the subsequent peace.
"I fear that the accomplishments
would not be commensurate with
the cost of such a project," Mc
Nary told reporters. "If ,a jour
ney of this character is in the
interests of internal unity and suc
cess of the war effort, it should
be undertaken by those technicians
schooled in the arts of war on
land, air and sea."

This, the figure approved by

While the house voted for a

joint committee's decision to win
house approval.
Both the senate and house
must ratify the committee's ac

signed the legislation, the pay
boost would become effective
one month later.
Legislators said they were un

"If their pay is based upon that

In addition to increasing- the
pay of enlisted men, the meas
