Hoffman (R-MIch) today sug gested the whipping post for pro- fiteers or other "human jackals who would feed on the sufferings of their f ellowman in wartime. -. Hoffman told the house he is op posed to the administration's econ omic control bill because it grants the president .''arbitrary and un limited power." . 1 Hoffman said workers, farmers, businessmen and Industr 1 a 1 i s t s would support the nation's fight ing forces without such controls. But he added: . It is true that in this, as In every other age and land, there pre some human jackals who would feed on the sufferings of their iel lowman. A few profiteers thrown in r jail, or in wartime, publicly whipped, would stop that traitor ous activity. - ' FT .LEWIS Wash.

CoL Mark Hillary, executive seereUry of Salem Me M.rial Anditoiium association, jus Just returned front a fmr during which k taspecte civic aaS auditorium faciUUn. roUowlas is one of his lnspecoa reports.) -.. ! ' , . X -When we speak of Reno it sends a warm glow through the for tunate and a rather icy chill through the unfortunate, but all of us recognize the reference as- relating to a city near home. Many Salemites have visited- Reno and have undoubtedly seen the auditorium which is located in the downtown area only two blocks from the business heart of the city. It was originally built by the state of Nevada but was taken over in recent, years by the city as a Chamber of Commerce pro : Ject and so far . has - been very successful, i '--'-. v Many conventions select Reno for their sessions not only because ef the novel attractions of the city but because they offer the facul ties of the convention halls with out cost to the convention people. In this regard they have emulated . the practice of numerous cities in neighboring California. ' - The logic they have adopted is that the whole community benefits by these visiting groups and so public funds should be used for the maintenance of the auditorium as it is impossible to apportion the income to ' specific businesses which may benefit However, in 1949 a careful survey was made by a trade paper arid a rather ac- - curate breakdown of convention . spending was secured for the - three-quarters of a million dollars which was left in Reno by. con-. , venuon groups. 1 : Gwing to the size of the facili ties it has been necessary for the . manager of the project to limit the size of the conventions which can be held but there is serious consideration being given to the increase of such facilities so as to. accommodate larger groups. . The present limitations, apply .to any convention group in excess of 1,000 persons, and the groups of four, five i and six hundred are " -preferred.1 ' f - ' . Even oj the survey covered 22, BOO guest days spent -at Reno con ventions in 1948 and showed an average spent of $33 per day per delegate. It was further estimated that the average for 1949 would exceed $35 per day. The highest single business to benefit was of . course entertainment in the 1949 survey, with $191,000, but res taurants ran a close second with , $180,000 and hotels and motels .with $75,000, while retail stores netted $60,7501 ' v ' The auditorium has a seating capacity of 1.900, Including 700 on the main floor and 1,200 in the balconies. A half, dozen confer ence rooms have ; been arranged and there will accommodate from 30 to 150 persons each. The main floor has" a floor space of 74 by 84 feet, while the stage has a floor space of 27 by 15 feet which is not . . sufficient to attract visiting shows but is ample for local talent. If ex hibit space is required the maH - sgement frequently arranges fo use of the Chamber of Commerce room in the" main lobby which has an additional floor space of 32 by 42:' f From all this it will be seen that Reno management is convention minded to such an extent that the cultural elements or uses to which the auditorium might be placed have been subordinated to the money-earning capacity of the facilities. In the long run it may be ventured as a guess that the city authorities will regret this over-emphasis and in any new project will provide for the many civic groups which . require and should have consideration as well as the many conventions 'Which are money-makers for the city. 8 Polio in State PORTLAND, Aug. 2-)-Eight new cases of poliomyelitis were reported to the Oregon Board of Health in the week ' ending last Friday, the largest gam in any week this year. . - . ; The board " said two were in Portland, two more in Multnomah county, and one each in Douglas, Jackson.

Milk Care Outlined By OSC Specialist August means vacation days and with it the problem of pasteurized milk in some localities, says an Oregon State college extension nutrition specialist. Agnes Kol shorn explains a method of home milk pasteurization. Pour milk to be pasteurized. she says, into the upper part of a double boiler. Put in a clean- liq uid thermometer, and when the temperature registers 50 degrees, count off 15 seconds and then pour off the hot water in the lower part of the boiler and replace it with cold until the milk has cool ed. Ice will speed cooling. -The type of thermometer need ed may be obtained at hardware and dairy supply stores, or at local dairy plants. After pasteurizing the milk, of course, it will be nec essary to keep it capped in sani tary containers. Best storing tem perature for milk is under 45' de grees. Miss Kolshorn concludes. .
