May 14-UP)-Eenator Cordon (R-Ore) has called for a report on Holland's fertilizer supplies. He told Paul G. Hoffman, direc tor of the European rehabilitation program, of reports that The Neth erlands were in a position to ex port fertilizer and asked Hoffman to investigate. "This country is dreadfully short of fertilizer and the situation is getting more critical every day," Cordon told the director. Meantime, Cordon and Senator ( Morse (R-Ore) and Rep. Norblad (R-Ore) have introduced bills to permit the commerce department to extend its controls over nitro genous compound, necessary for manufacture of fertilizer as well as the fertilizer itself. But there is no indication how soon congress will act on them. They also are aiding Clay Cochran of Salem, Ore., in search ing for other possible methods of increasing the supplies of ammon lum sulphate available to north west farmers. Cochran is here representing western states governors who are wanting to get government fertil izer plants at Salem, Salt Lake City and Oakland into production. He told a reporter today he un derstands bids have been received by the war assets administration on the Cactus Ordnance plant at Dumas, Tex.

Dewey republican presiden tial rivals in the Oregon primary, was set today for Monday over a nationwide radio hookup. But after days of quibbling by rival campaign managers, the re semblance between next Mon day's scheduled meeting and the more familiar concept of a debate was purely coincidental in me minds of most Oregonians. The debaters will occupy sepa rate rooms. There will be no plat form and no audience, and the terms finally agreed to provide that the debate will be in the pri vacy of the broadcasting studio.

Paths Cro i The paths of the two presiden tial aspirants crossed this morn ing, and a first-rate political "in cident" resulted. The meeting ooir.t was the little community of Cascade Locks on the Columbia river near Bonne ville dam. Dewey had planned to stop there briefly if his schedule permitted. But Stassen, behind schedule, was still there when the Dewey bus hove in sight traveling in the op posite direction and failed to stop. Stassen, busy signing autographs for a 100 or so townspeople and school children, smiled broadly as the Dewey caravan went by. Dewey, equally affable, waved from the bus window. Mayor Angry But a number of disappointed townspeople and an angry mayor were left in his wake. Declaring Dewey "wasn't very fair to us," Mayor Russel Nichols of Cascade Locks switched his Dewey button for a Stassen emblem on the spot. Stassen's comment: "Interesting things happen on the Old Oregon Trail." Dewey explained his failure to stop was that "I didn't want to embarrass him" in what the New York governor assumed Stassen rally. was Registration Records Fall Oregon registrations for the May 21 primary election, with on ly one county unreported, are greater than at any time in his tory, Dave O'Hara, state election registrar, said Friday.
