He urged cities to conduct housing surveys before reaching decisions, where that is finan cially possible. Match money for city-provided funds was made available for this purpose by the 1949 legislature. Salem and Eugene city councils already have requested rent de control.

Vacearo CHICAGO, July 19 --President Truman tonight accused So viet Russia of making agreements for the purpose of breaking them, and called for a militant united nations ' organization with enough force to maintain the peace. Speaking at a Shrine dinner, the president asked if it wasn't better to spend three, four, or five bil lion dollars a year for peace than "a hundred billion dollars a year for war" in a fervent defense of American spending. He said United States foreign po licy was aimed at reviving "Eu rope and Asia for peace" and said "we are going to make the united nations a going and militant or ganization for the welfare of the world as a whole." , -U.S. "Must Lead Speaking extemporaneously to- ! night, Mr. Truman told fellow j Shrinei s he had hoped that peace i had arrived with the capitulation j of Japan in September, 1945. "It didn't come," he said. He did not mention Russia by name, but he added: "Wc found we had an ally whose ; habit is and has been since 1917 ! the making of agreements, for the : purpose of breaking them." j He said it was "absolutely nec essary" that the United States as sume leadership of the democracies ! to provide "enough force in this world to maintain the peace that's all we are trvim? to do.' , Drou8nt dow" drastically after that j un"', l"e . c0l .war siariea- t , All he is asking now is to take less than one fhird of that $60,- j 000,000,000 cancellation and "re- vive Europe and Asia for peace."! Mr .Truman said he is optimistic the world may yet be organized for peace without war. will Continue "Crusade" Communist tyranny, he told cheering thousands of Shriners and their guests in Mammoth Soldier field, will ultimately destroy it self or have to "abandon its at tempt to force other nations into its pattern." The president, speaking at a great outdoor celebration of the Diamond jubilee session of the an cient Arabic order, nobles of the mstic Shrine, said the I'nittd States will continue its "gieataiu sade for peace." In working toward its goal of peace, the president said, the Un-. ited States should: 1. Halt the economic recession in this country, and work for a stronger economy. "Must Not Slash Funds" 2. Avoid the "foolish course" of slashing foreign aid funds. He said this course would be disastrous because it would produce "stagna tion and despair" abroad which could only benefit the communists. The president said that within its inner circle, the soviet orbit "manifests the fatal weaknesses of all dictatorships . . . tensions and : of information available to Mr Truman as head of the government, ! his words were considered to have ' a possible special significance.

O'Mahoney D-Wyo were piom - inently mentioned, as well as At- torncv General Tom Clark, of Tex a. and Sen. J. Howard McGiath of Rhode Island, chairman of the democratic national committee. Murphy's death presents a prob lem in that it removes from the bench the only Roman Catholic justice. If President lruman were . .11 1 . . . 1 .4 .
