. .1 This indicated -that he would
make a tour of war factories but
the dates and itinerary of this
journey were not discussed.
' Accompanying Eden were Wil--liam
Strang, assistant under sec
retary of state; Oliver Charles
Hanney, private secretary of
. Eden, and Robert Cruikshank, di
rector of the American division,
ministry of information.
" Eden's arrival climaxed a long
aeries of official utterances point
ing toward the " inauguration of
vital inter-governmental talks on
post-war problems as well as the
present. ' -
Only recently, Acting Secretary
of State Welles, after previous
speeches urging the necessity of
reaching agreements' without wait
ing for the end of the war, an
nounced that vthe United States
intended "at once" to take pre
liminary steps with its, allies to

Simultaneously with Eden's
arrival. It was learned that
Secretary of State Cordelt Hall,
who has been resting In Florida
for a fortnight, la retaralng to
Washington over the weekend.
Before ho left London, Eden
told the house of commons the
British, government welcomed
Welles'1 proposal for a conference
now on post-war aims. '
Meanwhile Vice President Wal
lace in an address at Delaware,
Ohio, last Monday, stressed the
necessity of a satisfactory under
standing between the western de-
'mocracies and Russia.
V' In this connection, the press as--.ispciation
said Friday night at
London that Soviet Premier Jos-
reph Stalin had been informed of
;j Eden's trip to Washington "and
f; there is reason to believe he heard
j of it with pleasure." '
- "The theme of understanding
. was stressed by William C. Bul
litt, former ambassador to France"
and Russia, in a speech at Phila-
: delphia Thursday -night.
In the light of this buildup it
was widely expected that, even
though the talks here might have
to begin as a purely British-
- American exchange: of views, an
effort Would be made to widen

paving the way toward that "sat

Flagg to Get

n
George Flagg, deputy secretary
of state, is to retire from that of
fice to accept an appointment
from Gov. Earl Snell, his former
chief, by May 1, apparently re
liable reports at the state capitol
Friday indicated.
Friends of Flagg expressed the
belief he might be ' named public
utilities commissioner, to succeed
Ormond R. Bean. The Office car
ries a salary of $7500 i year.
Flagg originally . was appointed
deputy secretary of state by P. J.
Stadelman and continued to serve
in that capacity through the ad
ministration of Earl Snell, ' who
recently became governor. Rob
ert S. Farrell, jr., elected secre
tary of state at the November el
ection, asked that Flagg remain
as deputy in his office for the
duration of the recent legislature
or longer. This was agreeable, to
Snell. ' ' j V ;
Reports here Friday indicated
that Snell has asked : Farrell to
release Flagg within the next two
months so that he may become a
member of the administration
family. '
A Eugene man was fsaid to be
slated for deputy secretary of

Snell Vetoes
Appeal Bills
"'I " . ' '
License Suspension
Amendments Said
Not Necessary ,
Two bills of the recent legis
lative session, both relating to ap
peals from administrative orders
of boards, were vetoed by Gov.
Earl Snell here Friday. 1
One of these, house bill 348,
Would substitute for the present
law a new and different proce
dure for appeal from an order re
fusing, revoking or suspending a
license by the state Agricultural
department ' j !
"The present law,"; Governor
Snell said, "grants to anyone, ag
grieved by an adverse decision.' on
the part of the state agricultural
department in respect to a license,
an appeal to the circuit court.
This carries with it the right of
presentation to such court of j the
facts and the law relating to such
subject matter. The right of an
applicant or licensee to have,' his
complaint heard in a court of com
petent jurisdiction is thus assured.
A study convinces me that the
present law assures applicants and
licensees a fair and adequate pro
cedure in respect to appeals as to
department of agriculture licenses.
Therefore, it is my judgment that
this bill should be disapproved."
The other bill amends the
present law which gives to milk
dealers the right of! review In
the circuit court from an order
denying, suspending or revoking
a license.
"There are enumerated, in the
milk code", Governor Snell' de
clared, "the certain and specific
causes for which a dealer's license
may be refused, suspended or re
voked. -The power to decline a
license to an applicant or to sus
pend or revoke the license of a
licensee is confined i strictly to
these certain offenses. The pres
ent law provides that the appli
cant for a license or a licensee
wnose license has been revoked
may prosecute a writ of review
from such adverse decision to the
circuit court of the county in
which the applicant has his busi
ness. This seems to me to provide a
fair and adequate procedure for
an applicant or a licensee to have
his grievance litigated.
Since the milk code went into
effect the board never has exer
cised the right or power to deny
an applicant a dealer's license.
The milk board has never sus
pended a license except condi
tionally and in each of these in
stances the conditions have been
complied with and the licenses
reinstated. " '
There have been , two revoca
tions from which appeals , Were
taken to the circuit court. Before
each of these cases was heard in
the court there was an amicable
adjustment of the; controversy
between the milk board and the
licensee. . i
I am not aware that any
charge as to the unfairness or the
inadequacy of the present law has
been made and therefore, it is my
judgment that this proposed bill
should be disapproved."
Both bills were introduced by
the house judiciary Committee.

Canned fish wOl be rationed but

Weekly eoapons will be good

they may be used with the sec

is true of the third and foarth

Because meat cutting is inexact,
point costs of meat will be fig

Thus, a steak which figured 10Y
points could be had for ten points.
But if it figures 10 or larger

Butchers will be allowed to give

Butchers will be required tech

force on a legal basis that officials
are looking to the customer to get
himself fair treatment or take his
patronage elsewhere.

FR Against
Ruml Plan
WASHINGTON. March M-JPS
-President Roosevelt came out
flatly against the Ruml tax plan
Friday on the ground that it would
reduce the government's revenue
and favor persons with large in
comes. His opposition, made known at
a press conference, was his first
expression on the controversial
plan to skip an income tax vear
to put, collections on current
basis, although his secretary of
the treasurv has been
against.it.
The president's stand sharpened
the party lines along which the
issue probably win be battled but
on the house floor. Republicans
have called a meeting for Monday
at which they are expected to or
ganize almost solidly behind the
Ruml plan. -
Meanwhile the ways and 'means
committee decided to do nothing
more about a pay-as-you-go plan
than to offer small discounts, or
bargain rates, as an inducement
to taxpayers to put themselves on
a current payment basis by pay
ing two years' taxes in one year,
if they choose.

. He was stricken February 23 on
a j train en route to this isolated
resort island, almost a hide-away
for families of wealth, where he
planned to rest and fish.
His ailment was a recurring one.
In previous years he had suffered
two severe attacks and a number
of less' serious nature. Twice he
rallied after he was put to bed
in a large cottage on the grounds
of the exclusive Gasparilla inn,
but the improvement each , time
Was short-lived.
A sign that the end was ap
proaching came Thursday when
associates at famed 23 Wall street,
the hub of Morgan's vast circle of
business enterprises, announced
that his condition had "deterior

f At the bedside of the friend of
British kings whose financial aid
was given credit for helping the
allied stand during the first World
War were two of his children.' j
His younger son, Henry Sttirgis
Morgan, a lieutenant commander
in the naval reserve, rushed Fri
day by airplane and speedboat to
join his sister, Mrs. Paul G. Pen
