Summarizes
Aid Program
(Strry also on page 1)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 -UP)
A-nummary of Secretary of Inter
tar Krug report on American
ability to .meet program of aid
Europe on proportion? of the
Marthall plan:
Wheat High crop goals mutt
lie ronttnued. hrri export 200,
000,000 bushels above last year's
will net substantiali hurt U. S.
food supply. This winter's need
can be met only by feeding less
to Uveftock and a successful con
servation drive.
Steel The "most troublesome
problem" No federal controls urg
ed, but scrap and pig Iron must
be found to start operations In
6.000,000 tons of idle steel mill
capacity. Over-alt expansion need
ed later; at this nvwment it. would
take too much steel to build
plant.
Fertiliser Foreseeable nitro
gen expansion will handle U. S.
demand only. "Special measures"
are needed, perhaps including
cut in industrial we. diversion of
fertilizer from U. S. to Europe.
C4 Proposed exports are
"insignificant in terms of our vast
resources," although 1948 produc
tion muft be increased. European
needs win taper off tn 1949. Coal
car shortage l "definite handi
cap." lndastrial eoulpmeal Most
machinery is "readily available
for e-fort;" major bottlenecks ara
freight cars and mining machin
ery. Farm machinery Present ex
port rate 12 per cent of output
ha net hurt American farm
ers. By next year 0 per cent
could jro overeat If necessary, be
cause U. S. production la expand
ing rapidly.
OH "Localiiied" petroleum
shorts fee may arise in U. S. this
. year because of tub steel and
pipeline scarcities. Export total
will decline, and It Can be offset
by imports.
Democrats Still
Split in Georgia
ATLANTA. Ga, Oct 18 - UP) -
Disputing factions of Georgia's
democratic party were warned to
day that Georgia could be car
ried by the republican party In
1941 U.r the first time in his

Jr., whose duties include certific
ation of party nominees for the
general election bslwt-
Fortson earlier Cms week called
on both factions to resolve their
differences by compromise, and
avoid possibility of rival demo
cratic primaries In 1948. Leaders
of both group promptly reiec-
ed the suggestion, each Insisting
theirs was the legal party.
Today, Fortson told reporters
he foresaw grave consequences
in continuation of the split, which
rgn with the death of Gov.
Elect Eugene Talmadge, and
whit h was fajMied by Georgia's
dual-governorship dispute last
spring.

Truman Said
ePowerless9 to
Call Session
SEATTLE. Oct. 18 -WV Sen
ator Magnuson (D-Wash) said to
day that President Truman is pow
erless to call congress back into a
special session before January 2,
and that under the wording of the
adjournment resolution only the
leaders of congress can do so.
In talk to the King county
democrat club he charged the re
publican leadership with "deliber
ately framing its motion to prevent
the president from summoning; it
to deal with the worsening domes
tic and International situation."
(At Washington, D.C., congres
sional sources said that technical
ly Senator Magnuson was right.
However, all leaders agreed at the
time of the adjournment that the
president could call the lawmak
ers back under the constitutional
provision permitting him to con
vene congress any time it Is not in
session, they said.)
Magnuson declared that the joint
resolution of July 27 stipulated
that only the presiding officers of
the senate and house and the ma
jority leaders could convene a ses
sion.
"The republicans didn't want to
give a democratic president the
chance to call them back into a
session which obviously would
force them to rectify their mis
takes," the democratic senstor
charged.

The six men were policemen.
They tried to substitute their
whistles and flailing arms for the
calm' operation of a traffic light,
and by the time the machine was
restored five accidents had oc
curred. It all started when the light
failed. Almost immediately two
cars collided and a four-way traf

Four policemen were rushed to
the corner, but 15 minutes latg-r
another crash occurred. Two more
patrolmen moved up as reinforce
ments.
In the next 90 minutes three
more accidents occurred.
Eventually the light was restor

one-armed bandits" only to be
forced by the court to restore the
machines to the owners.
Youns revealed that he lost a
similar case fn the Woodburn jus
tic court in 1943 following his
confiscation of a "one-armed ban
dit being operated at an auto
court near Woodburn. Young said
the defendants counsel admitted
his Clients ownership and opera
tion of the machines, but a jury
returned a verdict of innocent in
the owners behalf. Young said he
was forced by order of the court
to return the machine to the own
er.
GaUty Pleas Necessary
Young said that he had been suc
cessful in obtaining gambling con
victions, for the most part, only
when illegal operators entered
guilty pleas in court. He cited his
arrest of Willard Owen Smith.
Donald, Ore., tavern owner, for
illegal possession and operation of
six punchboards and two pinball
machines which paid out in cash.
Smith pleaded guilty to the charge
in Marion county court and was
fined 81,000, Young stated.

decision on a test case to be tried

would give his department some
thing definite to work with. The
case involves the trial of Carl Mc
Dowell, Hubbard tavern owner.
lor possession of several illegal
merchandise punchboards. Young
arrested' McDowell earlier this
year and he was indicted by a
grand Jury here.
Lack of Help Noted
Young also stated that a lack of
help is hampering the operation
of his department, pointing out
that h has only two deputies, on
daytime duty, who can be used
to enforce gambling laws. These
two deputies are forced to work
from 12 to IS hours a day with
no overtime pay to carry out du
