snobbish. But fire regulations say
maximum of 5.300 persons in the
armory, and 5.300 it was.
The committee which arranged
the ball sort of lost track sending
out the invitations, mailing some
8,000 or 10,000 bids: To the com

love to come. Some of them came
from across the continent.

Truman Urges Private Capital,
Know-How Sent to Other Lands
By' Sterlln F. Green
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20-JP-President Truman today urged the
United States to do global battle against poverty by throwing its in
dustrial know-how and money into a "bold new program" to raise the
world's standard of living.
In controversy-packed paragraphs of his inaugural address the
president hinted at government guarantees for private industry to los
ter capital investment in areas
needing development."
He urged a world pool-of tech
nological knowledge, with other
countries contributing as well as
the United States. Half the peo
ples of the earth dwell in pover
ty, he said, while America's store
of technological knowledge is
growing and "inexhaustible."
"We are ready to undertake new
projects to strengthen the free
world," Mr Truman declared.
It was uncertain whether con
gress was ready - -prominent sen
ators quickly split on his guaran
tee proposal.
But the president made it clear
he will ask them to approve a
strengthening of foreign invest
ment, and he replied in advance to
the expected soviet charge of "dol
lar imperialism,"
"The old imperialism - - exploi
tation for foreign profit - - has no
place in our plans," Mr. Truman
said.
"What we envisage is a program
of development based on the con
cepts of democratic fair-dealing."

Oregon Wool
Prices Riding
Crest of 'Boom'
By Lillie L. Madsen
Frra Editor. The Statesman
While the price of Australian
wool today is the highest in his
tory, Oregon is not laggmg far
behind. The "wool boom indicates
a world shortage of warm cloth
ing and the price is just another
wav of saying .hat money any
where in the world will not buy
what it did 10 years ago.
Comparative prices given by
Willamette valley wool rnen
Thursday show a big price jump
in the past 10-year period. The
buyers indicated that the good
prices will hold or might go high
er in 1949, which doesjhot presage
a drop in cost of woolen clothing.
One and two years ago, woolen
clothing was being sent to Eu
rope. Word here today is that
Britain, France. Italy have bought
most of Australia's fine wool clip
this season. Europe is getting on
her feet and is going back to
her own manufacturing. This is
as it should be, K. H. Pickens,
secretary-treasurer and buyer of
the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill,
Salem, said Thursday.
During 1948, Kay's, which weave
tweeds, other sports and coarse
woolens, bought 400,000 pounds
of coarse wool directly from val
ley growers. The prica? was aji
average of 47 cents in the greasy.
Mr. Pickens expects to pay about
the same this year. The shortage
of wool is not in the coarse grades,
he said. Right now, he added, low
braid and low quarter braid is
moving rather slowly.
But there is a definite shortage
of medium and fine wooLs. Here
are some figures furnished by
Ralph Cooley of Bishops' Clothing
store, Salem, and Clarence Bishop
of the Bishop mills, which includes
Oregon Worsted company, Port
land. Pendleton Woolen Mills and
Washougal (Wash.) Mills, Ore
gon's largest wool users: There
were 450 million pounds of wool
produced in the United States in
1938, and there were consumed
600 million pounds. Today there
are produced 300 million pounds,
and 900 million pounds are con
sumed. Per capita consumption is
far greater than it was 10 years
ago.
In January. 1938, fine range
wool sold at 32 cents and in Jan
uary, 1948, at 45 cents. This month
it has been selling at 57 Vfe cents.
Medium range wool in 1938 sold
for 37 cents: in- 1948. for 45 cents
and the same this January. Val
ley medium wool sold for 35
cents in 1938 and for 48 cents
in 1948 and 1949.
Approximate production for
1948 in Oregon was 6V2 million
pounds of wool. Consumption in
the Bishop mills alone was 4'i
million pounds of domestic wool
and 3 million of foreign wool to
total 74 million pounds.
Lions Hear
Rep. Van Dyke
Frank J. Van Dyke of Medford,
speaker of the Oregon house of
representatives, Thursday sum
marized legislation introduced to
speech before Salem Lions club in
date in the state legislature, in a
the Marion hotel.
He said 30 bills already have
been referred to the house taxation
committee alone, and that 18 of 25
committees are already at work on
bills which" have been formally in
troduced. In connection with explaining a
bill proposing state licensing of
practical nurses. Van Dyke obser
ved that this points to the trend of
more and more groups seeking
control and protection by state
government. He said such groups
have ranged "from masseurs and
hairdressers to practical nurses"
and they appear willing to pay the
state for regulation by a commis
sion rather than have regulation
through their own trade associa
tions. Salem Pastor Speaker

casion was the formal banquet
sponsored by the Youth Fellowship

in the social rooms of the Educa
