The Statesman. Salem. Ore, American, Attitudes Clash at 'Peace' Congress By Alvin J. Stelnkopf SHEFFIELD, Eng.. Nov. 13-(P-American and Russian attitudes toward world peace clashed sharply tonight at the only public session of the Communist-inspired World Peace congress here. The differences were highlighted in a spirited address made by Boris Polevoy, youthful Russian writer, who took exception to the attitudes, expressed aj iwu abiuiuui ucKtawa. Sessions of the congress will oe resumed Thursday in Warsaw, Poland. The transfer is being jnade because British immigra tion authorities have barred many foreign, delegates. O. John Rogge, former assist ant United States attorney gen eral, expressed American sus picion of some Russian views. He was equally critical of trends in American thinking on world peace. . "In America there may have Wen too great a concentration of economic power, and this power has sometimes spilled over into economic policy," Rogge said, -political rawer : "In Russia there may have been too great a concentration of poli tical power, with the result that some of it has spilled over into economic policy and in relations with (Russia's) neighbors. MI am against such concentra tions of power. That's why I sup- Erted Yugoslavia in its effort to independent of Russian policy. That's why I hope China will strike out on her own and be de pendent upon neither of the op posing power groups. . "But I am willing to talk about these things and possibly say a good deal which may be offensive to the Russians. That's why I am going to Warsaw to see whether these issues may be resolved in a " peaceful manner." v Applaud Politely A crowd of about 3,000 per- - sons who filled the auditorium in - Sheffield's city hall applauded BnaM nnlitelv hut hit remarks obviously were received with considerable reserve. - , 1 .

Aldermen argued over a $2,650 real estate commission figuring in the transaction and the school district offered a compromise by changing its $53,000 bid to $51,000 net,' with the school rather than city to pay the commission and title insurance fee. Alderman Albert H. Gille pro tested that a discrepancy in ap praisal figures indicates the build ing is worth more than the only bid the city has received. An early real estate board appraisal of over $100,000 was discarded by the council when independent ap praisals by the city manager and agents for the school district placed the figure at about $53,000. The council naa caiiea on we real estate, board to justify its higher appraisal, but nobody ap peared in response and a letter from committeeman Edgar Byrkit did not disclose the method of establishing the appraisal. Legislation was passed to permit A. M. Hansen to alter a house for duplex, use on North 14th street near D street and to permit Alpha Chi Omega to build a sorority house on Chemeketa near 14th streets. New bills were proposes to al low and control advertising on public benches to be set up at bus stops and other public places, and to permit plastic signs on buildings under certain restric tions. Street improvement petitions for next year's paving program were accepted from property owners on John street from Luther 150 feet north; Grant from 16th to 17th streets; Shipping from commercial to North 4th streets; Sedona ave nue from Silverton road to Lan sing avenue; an alley between Owens and Miller streets.

A mass meeting of suburban bus riders will be called this week to consider possibility of a new bus operation, it was announced at a city council meeting Monday ight by J. H. Gordon, east Salem resi dent who earlier this year headed citizens committee potesting curtailment of Swegle-Fruitland . bus service. Gordon said, "I now have a man ready to come in here with six or seven busses for suburban op eration." He asked the city coun cil to discard jurisdiction over suburban areas so that City Tran sit lines would not have exclusive operating rights in the suburbs. City Transit was under fire for more than an hour last night as bus riders from south and east suburbs peppered the bus manage ment and city council with com plaints. St on Petition From Liberty - Boone-Brownlng area came a petition by 60 bus riders emphasizing these asser tions: (1) CTL Is trying to play both ends against the middle in suggest ing it must curtail suburban sche dules or raise fares - in the city; (2) CTL can't expect regular bus clientele because of spotty service: (3) city limits are "purely hypo thetical In Salem i broad econ omy; (4) CTL has no right to ex clusive operation if it can't take "the lean with the abundant, (5) this steadily growing area once had twice as frequent service at half the present fares until CTL took over. From other south Salem remons- trators came these complaints at the council session: Bus service should keep pace with residential growth In the suburbs (Delbert Jones declared bus service has been getting worse since the 1930's, instead of better) ; too many sche dules operate so connections won't allow a man to get to work on time; some folks can no longer afford to ride busses now that a 20-cent fare is in effect; state ments about financial loss should show what amounts going to ab sentee management; some sche dules are arranged so people get ting off work at 4:30 or 5 p.m. can't get home in less than li or 2 hours. Ask Improvements Several riders suggested that improvement rather than reduc tion of service might improve the firm s business. The bus management submitted a statement for October showing net operating loss of 33,635, nearly half of which was accounted for in the relatively light suburban business. Wendt also said his com pany had lost over $26,000 in the first nine months of 1950, includ ing an $11,900 depreciation charge, The bus manager called atten tion to the fact that the proposed changes south would better serve a larger residential area than Is affected by the reductions. - The reduced areas, he said, now aver age only a few passengers daily. New routing for the southern bus route Is: From downtown via Ferry, Liberty, Leslie High, Cross, Church, Electric, Summer, Fair' view. Bluff, Ratcliff, Bluff, Fair view, Summer, Electric, Church, Cross, High, Leslie, Liberty, Ferry and downtown. The Four Corners 'change would route the bus over Park from Cen ter and then via Park, Sunnyview, 24th and u streets.

The resolution on the federal agriculture department's crop price policy will get more attention later this week, and perhaps revision on the convention floor. A Deschutes county delegate group failed in todays committee session to get across its demand for abolition of all support prices. The Deschutes action represent ed the feeling among some potato growers of the nation that they would be better off in a free mar ket Many growers have refused crop quotas and therefore are out side the price support and loan program. The Brannan plan was without friends here today and delegates also were critical of support levels so high that they in effect guar antee farmers a profit Changes favored by delegates would set up a flexible 75 to 90 per cent of parity price support scale immediately instead of the present gradual plan. Delegates said this would tend to lower con sumer prices for surplus crops such as wheat, corn and tobacco. There were no resolutions in the convention hopper on reapportion ing. The bureau had backed the "balanced plan" which failed in last week's election. Delegates In dicated the bureau would concen trate on revising the initiative and referendum laws. They would re quire a "reasonable minimum per centage" of signatures from each congressional district This in ef fect would protect the farm voting power, the argued.
