Still iri Effect
Salem Taxi company continued
to operate its;: 12 taxi cabs in the
city yesterday; although no defi
nite city council action had been
taken to reinstate the taxi li
censes ordered suspended Monday
night. ;j
Explaining ithe situation, the
taxi firm's local insurance agent
who represents the T a coma ag
ency for Lloyds of London, G. A.
Coffey, said last night that ac
tually Salem Taxi Co. insurance
had not been revoked although
notice of a higher premium rate
necessitated the writing of new
policies this week.
The city council had acted upon
information from the state public
utilities commission that PUC
licenses were revoked because the
taxi firm's liability insurance had
been discontinued. The council
suspended licenses until Insur
ance was obtained. Coffey said
the state PUC probably would
receive word today of continuance
of the insurance for Salem Taxi

Processing of
Higher Rent
Appeals Begun
Landlords' petitions for higher
rent charges and tenants com
plaints on various scores are now
being processed by the Salem
area rent control office.
Director Clare A. Lee disclosed
Tuesday that about 20 landlords'
petitions were processed during
the day in preparation for final
decision as to justification for
their requested rent adjustments.
He added that conditions noted in
numerous tenants complaints are
now being verified by rent in
spectors, prior to possible for
warding to OPA compliance attor
neys for action against landlords.
Registration Still Slew
Lee stated that the registration
of landlords in the Marion county-
West Salem area long slowed by
the opposition of a group of Sa
lem landlords continues at slow
pace,' but that in several categories-
sufficient registration has
been obtained for establishment
of the "comparability factor"
which is necessary in the adjust
ment process.
He said comparability has been
determined for most types of
rented houses and for most types
of one- and two-room apart
ments. The factors compared In
clude the facilities offered, the
furnishings and the location.
Additional RegtstraUen
Meanwhile, Lee awaited word
from Portland on details of an
additional registration to be re
quired of operators of hotels, mo
tor courts, tourist cabins, trailer
camps and rooming and boarding
houses.
Portland OPA headquarters
yesterday said such landlords
would be directed to submit by
December 31, 1946, in duplicate
certain information on a one-page
form now required for OPA to
comply with a provision of the
price control extension act or
1948. The information will en
able OPA to classify such rental
businesses separately, instead of
lumping them into one classifica
tion as at present, it was indi
cated. High School

ocratic primary election in which
Senator Theo G. Bilbo os Missis
sippi was nominated for a third
term.
One exhibited stained clothing
as evidence.
They were witnesses at a hear
ing conducted by a senate inves

ing into charges that Bilbo's tac
tics kept Negroes from exercis
ing their constitutional right to
take part in party primaries.
Varnado R. Coiner, Gulf port
Negro, testified that on July 2
when he and his wife entered the
city hall to vote, one of a group
of white men in a corridor stuck
out his arm and stopped them.
"You people dont vote here
today," he quoted the white man
as saying "Come back tomorrow."
Collier said ten or 15 whits
men then swarmed over him,
beating him until he lost con
sciousness for a moment and
threw him out on the city hall
porch. His protesting wife, Collier
said, was also struck.
Bilbo, an unruffled spectator.
said he had not decided yet
whether he would testify.
Socialists Join
French Reds
PARIS, Wednesday. Dec. 4-(P
The socialists voted today to sup
port the candidacy of communist
leader Matfrice Thorez for the in
terim premiership of the new
French government, but it was not
immediately announced whether
they also would consent to enter
his cabinet.
The action was taken by a so
cialist national congress. The so
cialists heard one of their lead
ers, Felix Gouin, call on them to
support the communists' bid for
the interim premiership.
His recommendation came soon
after the communist candidate for
temporary president of the na
tional assembly lost to a socialist,
Vincent Aurlol.
