run by the Lamaist priests quite

Nanking. In 1914 ; China recog

to the Truman doctrine of con

gressors. But Washington is silent
and the reports from United Na

would regard the affair as another
episode in the Chinese civil war
and do nothing about it . ;
We may be certain of this:
Neither U.N. nor the UJ3-A. will

either military attack or civilian
disaster.
"Think of Marion county as a
city, with each city in the county
representing a district fire sta
tion," Roble told the chiefs at
the city hall meeting.
"When a fire or other major
disaster occurs in a metropolitan
city, each station in the city sends
equipment as needed. 'The same
plan must be worked out for the
City of Marion county, tne cniei
explained.
To Move Equipment
Under the plan outlined by
Roble every major fire in the
county will be reported to the
police radio operator in Salem.
This operator will move equip
ment, from city to city as needed.
He will do this by radio for the
11 cities with radio equipment
by telephone in other cities and
rural districts.
Roble outlined an "alarm sys
tem1 which will determine what
equipment goes to each city. For
example, Roble said:
'Stayton reports a fire. On the
first' alarm Stayton handles the
blaze or disaster by itself. On the
second alarm Sublimity equipment
goes to Stayton. Aumsville equip
ment moves in on the third alarm
and Turner equipment . goes on
the fourth alarm."
Meanwhile, in this case, equip
ment from Silverton and Salem
will protect the cities of Subli
mity, Aumsville and Turner while
their apparatus is fighting the
Stayton fire." "
To Inform Radio
It will be up to the chief at
the site of the fire or disaster to
tell the radio operator in Salem
what type of equipment or the
number of men he needs on each
alarm," Roble said.
The chief pointed out that each
telephone call represents an alarm,
unless specified otherwise by the
chief who is calling.
A master plan to provide am
bulance and first aid service
throughout the county in event of
disaster was outlined at the meet
ing by City Manager J. L. Fran
zen of Salem, who sat in on the
session.
Te Locate Ambulances
"The city radio operator In Sa
lem, must know the location of
every ambulance in the county
so he can send the nearest avail
able piece of equipment,' he said.
Other , examples of protection
tentatively outlined included: Au
rora to be aided by Hubbard,
Woodburn and Gervais in that or
der; St. Paul to be helped by Au
rora, Hubbard and Woodburn;
Turner to be aided by Aumsville,
Salem and Stayton.
A complete master list will be
worked out later. Road condi
tions, type of equipment available
and the number of men in each
department all were taken into
consideration in compiling this
list. Chief Roble made an up-to-the-minute
check of all fire equip
ment in the county.
The chiefs also will work out
a list of fire and other emergency
equipment which could be sent
from Marion county to Portland
in case of atomic attack or other
major disaster in that city.

Issue Early Call to Congress
To Seek j
Action on
Rent BiU
WASHINGTON, Oct 25 -(P)
Congressional sources said tonight
President Truman is thinking of
issuing a pre-election call to con
gress to hurry back to Washing
ton after the balloting and work
on rent control and other legis
lation. The plan reported under con
sideration calls for congress to
reconvene November 15 eight
days after the election instead
of November 27, the date" prev
iously fixed.
If the president makes up his
mind to take the step, those in
the know expect him to announce
it in advance of the November 7
election. He holds his weekly
news conference tomorrow morn
ing, but whether the announce
ment will be ready then was not
known tonight .
. Two different sources, who
can not be named, informed a
reporter that the special call to
congress has been under consid
eration at the White House. They
said Mr. Truman wanted to take
counsel with democratic leaders
of senate and house before an
nouncing any decision.
Still Face Emergency
If the early call is Issued, Mr.
Truman is expected to argue that
despite the victories in Korea, the
nation and world still face emerg
ency conditions because of Rus
sia's attitude. He is reported ready
to say ' that there must be no
letdown in the defense program
and that as a result of the Dro-
gram, home front measures such
as tightened rent controls and
higher taxes are urgently-neces
sary. - . f -
Some democratic strategists
figure that such a pre-election
summons to congress would tend
to help jnany democrats facing
contests November .7. They be
lieve Mr. Truman's demand for
a stronger rent control law would
have wide appeal among tenants,
although it would be unwelcome
to the less-numerous landlords.
Strong Leadership
They feeL too. that such a
White House call would Drovide
material for campaign arguments
that the administration is provid
ing strong leadership in what It
views as a time of crisis. J
Congress now is in recess to
permit most house members and
more than a third of the senate
to campaign for re-election. The
lawmakers left here September 23
under an agreement to return
November 27. -
In addition to - tiehtenln tm
federal rent controls, the White
House discussions . were said to
have included:
lAn early start UDon another
boost in federal taxes.
2. A revision of the existing
draft act to provide a broad man
power and military training pro
gram needed to expand the arm
ed forces to 3,000,000 men..
3. Speedy revision of the new
anti-subversive art, passed over
Mr. Truman's veto.
4. Possible consideration of the
additional billions of dollars that
must be appropriated to meet the
costs of the Korean war and the
related expansion of military
strength both in this country and
among anti-communist nations.

During the day 232 persons
