As prices go higher and living

crumbling isnoted. A little more
price hiking and consumers really
will rebel. Just now a considerable
debate is going on over "who
killed Cock Robin?' ' ju?t who Is
responsible for present high price
levels.
Politicians lke to play with this
one. The blame, like a shuttle
rock, is batted back and forth be
tween political opponents. Repub
licans blame high prices on the
Truman administration; demo
crats blame it on republicans. The
simple fact is, however, that you
cannot borrow $250 billion and
dump it inUj our economy without
price inflation. Where the sup
ply of money nd credit accumu
lates faster than capacity to pro
duce the result is inflated prices
until production gets into balance,
or until the surge of excess money
spends itself.
The government it elf bears
heavy responsibility for the price
inflation. In the pre-war period
damps were put on prices but not
on wages or prices of farm prod
ucts. The government itself helped
snoot wages up in its muster of
men for defense plants, wun i
wages and farm prices free wheel- j

PORTLAND. Ore., Aug. 26-(P
A: Columbia river toll bridge at
The Dalles was proposed today by
the Wasco county court in a report
to the Oregon highway comrrJs
sion that present traffic over the
privately operated rlvtr ferry
justified the project.
Col. R. A. Tudor, former U.S
army district engineer, said a fee
of 55 cents per vehicle would pay
off a bridge costing $1,800,000.
The plan was taken under ad-
visement.
The commission refused a de
mand by the Baker county cham
ber of commerce to withdraw its
petition to the federal power com
mission opposing construction of
the Oxbow dam by the Idaho
Power -company on the Snake
river.
The short route from Portland to
central Oregon via the Warm
Springs highway is at least two
years away from completion, the
state highway commission told a
Bend delegation.
Engineer R. II. Baldock was di

ares
Policy, Cases
A board of Salem citizens
Tuesday night brought within lo
cal administration the federal rent
control over Salem defense rental
area which includes all Marion
county an4 West Salem.
Homer Smith, sr., was elected !
temporary chairman for the citi
zens advisory board, and Eliza
beth Lord, Robert F. Lowe and
Floyd Wilson were sworn in as
members by E. Daryl Mabee, Port
land, rent director for the eight
Oregon rent areas. Fifth member
of the local board, Ralph E.
Moody, was absent because of ill
ness. The board's first official deci
sion was to process cases of rent
dispute and general policy only
after the local rent office, headed
by Clare A. Lee. has made its de
cision (in cases of rent adjust
ment) or has placed the case on
the board's agenda. Board mem
bers indicated, however, that they
would hear all worthy cases if
such advance notice was given
through the rent of ice.
Director Mabee stressed that the
hew board's recommendations will
amount to final order to the rent
office so long as they are within
the authorized scope of the 1947
rent act in which congress estab
lished the citizen boards for con
trol and administration on a local
level.
Mabee estimated 95 per cent of
board work will concern opera
tion of the rent office and "hard
ship cases." The board also may
decide on the adequacy of local
rent levels and Issue a flat per
centage increase or decrease ac
cordingly, and may recommend
direct to Washington, D. C, on
decontrol of the area or any part
of the area. The board has no au
thority in eviction matters, now
vested completely in local courts.
The board expects tentatively
to meet twice a month with its
next session to be arranged for the
second week in September.
With Mabee and Lee at the
meeting were Rent Attorney Ray
Alber of the Salem (and other
Oregon) areas and Pat Martin, re
gional officer of San Francisco
rent headquarters. Viola Moriarty
of the local rent office , will be
board secretary.

Inflation
Control Off
By Conrad Prange
Sta Writer. The Statesman
After November 1 Salem shop
pers will find relaxed credit con
trols, may encounter slightly in
creased prices and probably will
open a lot of new charge ac
counts, it was predicted here
Tuesday by local merchants and
credit finance agencies.
Installment buying controls on
such items as household appli
ances, furniture and automobiles
will be dropped on the first of
November under a bill signed re
cently by President Truman. Ex
isting controls, which will con
tinue until that date, were insti
tuted in early wartime -under eco
nomic control authority within
tht- trading-with-the-enemy act.
Fearful that ending of the con
trols may create a credit war
among merchants, local trades
men are cooperating with the Sa
lem Retail Credit bureau in in
stituting voluntary credit controls.
Controls Voluntary
In an attempt to prevent cus
tomers from pyramiding their
credit beyond their ability to pay.
merchants and credit men are
proposing individual regulation of
down payments and time-to-pay.
Most merchants welcome the end
of Installment controls, but some
consequences."
"When individual credit is turn
ed from a matter of convenience
into a tool of competition by eager
merchants, then both merchants
and customers suffer," said Fran
cis Smith, manager of the Salem
bureau. Associated Credit Bureaus
of America. In 1938-39, he cited,
bankruptcy and liquidation caused
a loss of about a quarter of a
million dollars to Salem trading
area merchants.
He thought that overloaded in
ventories would cause many local
merchants to push sales via the
installment route. Increased pur
chafing power through easier
credit would have a tendency to
boost prices at least until the
country is back in full produc
tion again.
Cooperation Expected
"Most merchants can and will
cooperate in regulating credit
into sensible channels," he said.
"However, merchants cannot reg
ulate creait as a group or they
will run afoul of the U. S. attor
ney genernl's decision of a year
ago that such group action is in
restraint of trade."
With the lifting of controls on
automobiles, the way is open for
dealers to go back to the pre-war
practice of small down payments
and long contracts. Both automo
bile dealers and finance agencies
agreed that contracts should be
lengthened to 24 months on new
er models from the present 15
month maximum. It was indi
cated, however, that the one-third
down payment probably would
stand.
Salem business men agreed that
the over-all result of the dropped
controls would be increased pur
chasing. This, they felt, would
boost credit accounts, which have
already increased more in the Sa
lem area during the past year
than the national average. Scarce
items, they felt, would become
scarcer.
On the other hand, as one bank
representative pointed out, Salem
has a great many fixed-income
state employes who may well
benefit by easier credit terms.
Also extension of contracts on
household appliances to 24 months
and reduction of down payments
to 20 per cent may halt the pres
ent drain on individual savings
accounts.

put his pattern makers "under a

contended, through a ruling by
Robert N. Denham, NLRB general
counsel, that all 15 members of
the AFL executive council must
sign. Otherwise the unions under
them would not be entitled to the
board's facilities.
"It is rumored that a John L.
Lewis, 13th vice president of the
AFL, refuses to sign the com
munist disclaimer and that his
union has withdrawn cases pre
viously filed in regional offices
of the NLRB," Lynch said in a
letter to Denham. Lewis is a mem
ber of the AFL council.
"You have created the oppor
tunity for any Gromyko on the
AFL council to say 'No'."

Oil Agreement
In Parliament
For Debates
TEHRAN, Iran, Aug. 26 -OTV
The Iranian parliament was ready
today to take up the controversial
Soviet oil agreement us Iranian
and diplomatic officials reputed
that "10,000 Barzani Kurdish
tribesmen, . backed by the red
army" were assembled in Soviet
Azerbaijan on the ' northwest
frontier.
"This may be another move in
a Soviet war of nerves on the eve
of parliament's consideration of
the Russo-Iranian oil agreement,"
said one high diplomatic source.
The oil agreement, signed by
Prime Minister Ahmed Qavam in
April, 1946, while Soviet troops
still were occupying northern
Iran, granted Russia oil conces
sions in five northern provinces
with Russia receiving 51 per cent
of the shares for the first 25 years.
The oil agreement already is
the tenter of a political and dip

of parliament have expressed" the
opinion it will be defeated.
Prime Minister Qavam has pro
posed to the Russians that the
agreement be re-drafted.
