Sept- 13-OVBitter clashes between the Western and Slav powers flared at the Euro pean peace conference today with Slav delegates walking out of one commission meeting, and a Briton letting another after expressing "despair "' In both tempestuous sessions, the Slav nations battled for spe- rial privileges for hearings for two nation Bulgaria and - AI rnia -which had been at war with Greece. These were the prime developments: 1 In the Bulgarian political and territorial commission. Chairman Kohouma Kisselev of White Rus sia ruled that defeated Bulgaria's territorial claim on Greece had the same status as a conference member nation's motion. Over strenuous objection, he also ruled that counter-demands by Greece were out of order because they were made too late. Jefferson Caffery. U.S. amba sador U Paris, demanded a vote on a British motion to consider the Greek claims. Kisselev or dered the meeting adjourned.

Saturday Morning, Soptombor 14. 1948 Prlc c No. 145 There's PJileaft, BrmG Moti Enough To FiDD Peomiaoiidi, ion City Rfiavrhets By Den Dill FttlMRun Staff Writer Just what, 1 anyj meat most Salem markets will have to offer for sale next week is today's big question for local housewives and for meat market operators. A Statesman survey this week shows a Salem meat picture about like this:. Small independent mar kets virtually down to lunch meats and some mutton and lamb, and uncertain about 'incoming meat shipments; larger markets self rationing their stock, still corning in on contracts from local slaugh terhouses, and hopeful the supply will see the month out; in general, Salem hard hit but far- from the meat shortage felt In other area throughout the country. Merton Coon, manager of Steen Bros, market, said that the amount of beef be had on hand would last until Tuesday at which time an other shipment of meat Is due. His quota will be 12,000 pounds of beef for the remainder of the month, which he estimates is bare ly half what he could sell. After the quota is used he does not know what the situation will be, he said. Coon also said that with no meat to sell several of his clerks will have to be discharged. "There will be no relief as long as OPA con tinues." Coon stated, "and there will be no beef in any quantity coming to the packing houses; for i iwu nnHiuu, at teasi. inr tanners sold all the cattle that they had on hand during the free market period, and as for hogs . , . there just is no pork." Asked about meat prices during the time when con trols were off. Coon pointed out that prices then were adjusting themselves. Round; steak which sold for 6) cents a pound when controls were removed, was down to 99 jrents when controls again were established. Coon said. Small i retailers depending on large packing concerns for their meat supply , are on a week-to-week ' basis, according to E. C Hoffman, owner of Hoffman's market, and the outlook for next Traffic Report Study Planned m Salem's accident record and traffic control measures will be analyzed before Mayor I. M. Doughton and other city officials at 10 am Unlay in city hall. The occasion will be a report on Sa lem's showing in the 1945 nation al traffic safety contest by Harry Porter,. Jr..

"From now on getting any meat supply will be a hap-hazard af fair," said Hoffman. R. p. Cannon, commercial slaughter operator on Turner road, believes that the Willamette val ley never will; actually be without beef altogether. Most range steers from which the prime grade of beef comes must be shipped in, but there are always farmers with a few head of cattle to sell, and these sources will keep the valley area from being without meat al together, Cannon asserted. Pork will be short as long as it la unprofitable for farmers to raise hogsk and the price of grain today prevents them from making a ! profit with the present ceilings on pork. Cannon said, adding that In July his plant butchered 125 hogs a week, but this week they have only 20 to butcher, and that next week there will be none. Cannon reiterated the general feeling among meat dealers that unless OPA regulations are abol ished, meat shortages - will con tinue indefinitely. Bailey Dies in Gas Chamber Kenneih W.

Que., Sept. 13 -(P) -George Washington Hill, pres ident of the American Tobacco company which popularized Lucky Strike cigarettes and advertised controversial slogans across the land, died of a heart attack today at his private fishing camp four miles from here.

For the want of j a nail, a war was lost, old legend has it. Because of a similar lack, the building of Paulus Bros, new cannery; in Sa lem was held up for two weeks. But1 the Paulus organization found a way, declares George .Paulus. vice-president and man ager. An Oklahoma City buyer ' who had purchased and received his "share" of fruit for the year came west, and almost on bend ed knee, sought another carload. He was taken- to see the new plant, i and learned there that workmen were idle because of lack of nails.! Some telegrams to business acquaintances in other parts of the country brought a carload of nails to Salem, traced all of the way. It may be men tioned, by Paulus Bros, traffic manager, and It came in record time. The buyer got his fruit. The Paulus story Is matched by at least two others: The Ore gonian, who, wanting corn sugar had to provide corn and. In or der to get corn, delivered in Iowa some western lumber. The eastern milk distributor, who kept his milk producers by mak ing butter available to them and tyho got the butter in Oregon by providing a creamery here with milk cans. Both did a portion of their business legitimate if ap parently a bit old-fashioned not far from the new, modern Paulus Bros, packing plant for which all materials are now be lieved to be on hand or en route.

While republicans and some democrats assailed Wallace's pro posal as a blow to Secretary of State Byrnes at Paris, Undersec retarr of State Clayton told i news conference here that it was not quite clear to him Just what President Truman Intended by his approval.' Jle said he would have to leave any clarification up to Mr. Truman himself. Contradicts Byrnes ...Clayton spoke as the ; directing head of the state department. He Implied lit response to questions that Wallace s call for recognition of Ru&lan and American spheres of Influence is in direct contradic tion to Byrnes' announced oppo sition to such spheres. These developments highlighted a day of mounting controversy over the Wallace address deliv ered at a political meeting in New York last night. , , Deflaite Spilt Seen Two points appear to be be coming increasingly clear: 1. President Truman has on his hands a full size split over for eign policy between his secretary of commerce and his secretary of state and is in the position of haying given them both- strong support. - 2. Top officials do not' actually expect any changes In American foreign policy toward Russia along the lines advocated by Wal lace, but only some further pro nouncement by Mr. Truman can completely clarify the situation Rural Rate for PGE Revealed i Rural residential and some in dustrial customers of Portland General Electric Co. will benefit from the reduced rate schedules which Salem PGE offices an nounced Friday following a public utilities commission hearing which authorized the reductions.

' The tropical soil is a by-product of a commercial plant get ting ell from shale, and Dr. Eg, loff described It In an Interview at the American Chemical soci ety meeting. ' Fear methods were used by. the Swedes to get oil from shale, three by ordinary mining, and the fourth by the system that created the unexpected by-product of a tropical soil. In this system, holes about two laches In diameter were drilled through 25 feet af, ordinary soli, down Into and through 50 feet of un derlying shale. The holes were set In concen tric circles. Elerfriral healer then began warming up the shale. This continued far menths until the rock wa heated to nearly a thousand degrees Fah renheit. At that stage the Swedes be gan drawing vapor from these heated shale rocks. The vapor were brought up from the rock by small pipes set In the eeuters f (he concentric heating circles. These vapors, piped te a col lector and treated, yielded gaso line, kerosene, fuel oil and pure sulfur and some valuable by products. The yield of gasoline vapor continued for about' two months, and then the area was finished. " Meanwhile the ground had been warmed by. the artificial heat.
