Control Lpophdie
On Mea t Plugged
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15 -(jD-The
government plugged a loop
hole in Jts price controls today,
andsaid its action would roll back
prices charged by "many" meat
packers. But it won't affect the
housewife much, if at all. -
The office of price stabilization
said unnamed . packers, who had
charged higher prices in some
areas than in others before the
"freeze" went into effect, had since
raised their quotations in the lower-priced
areas. This was legal up
tot today, but now is forbidden.
This,, officials said, should re
lieve a squeeze in which whole
salers and retailers have been
caught because their own prices
have been held rigid.

Glub, glub! "Ker-chew!"
. - Are you one of those who has
been sniffling the past few days,
or suffering from a heavy head
cold? Cheer up. Here's good, news
for you, straight from the Scienti
fic American: .
"There are things that can be
done to relieve the unpleasantness
of colds but up to the present it
still remains true that the untreat
ed cold will last about seven days,
while with careful treatment it
can be cured in a week!"
So cheer up, youli be over it
to about one week or seven days.
How can they speak so positive
ly? The reason is that over in
England a Medical Research coun
cil has operated since 1946 a com
mon cold research unit at Salis
bury where the common cold is
studied scientifically. The work is
done with human beings who vol
unteer as subjects. The odd thing
about the cold virus Is that there
Is no convenient experimental ani
mal to work on. The only animal
besides man subject to the true
cold is the chimpanzee, as C H.
Andrewes, author of the article
quoted, says: "Chimpanzees are so
hard to come by and to handle
and so expensive as to be almost
useless."
Wfeil th mid i so common it
Is called "common" we still know
comparatively little about it. We
do know it is infectious and is, due
to a virus at least we think we
know that much. But at Salisbury
-when efforts to transmit colds to
uninfected persons were made ar
tifically, only half of them caught
colds. That explains why within a
household some may have colds,
others escape. Another thing they
found out in the tests is that while

require relatives to help support
pensioners. The same legislation
gives the state the right to file
claims against estates of deceased
pensioners. j
Committee members -probably
will decide next week which Side
emerged the victor.
Arraments Countered
Proponents of the repeal meas
ures charged that present old-age
laws are breaking up homes of
young married couples supporting
parents, that old folks should not
have to beg from children and
that people who pay taxes to sup
port government employes pen
sions should be entitled, to pen
sions themselves. f
Opponents, favoring present
laws, countered that the state
should receive some; money back
from people who have been sup
ported by the government This
is done by filing against estates.
John Brugman, assistant attorn
ey general who advises the state
public welfare commission, said
no persons who can prove definite
hardship in supporting parents
have been denied readjustments
in payments.
Bond Limit Debated
"No relatives have been perse
cuted," he said.
Another heated debate develop
ed Thursday when the senate sent
back to committee a bill wiich
would allow cities to exceed the
5 per cent bond limit for defense
purposes.
The senate Wednesday passed
the measure and ; sent it to the
governor, but recalled it on the
motion of Sen. Eugene Marsh,
McMinnville, who said he objected
to the principle of cities being able
to issue unlimited bonds.
Under present laws, cities may
not issue bonds exceeding more
than 5 per cent of the assessed
valuations. Marsh said "some well
meaning people might wave the
flag and get the voters in a city to
approve more bonds than are
needed."
Sen. Thomas R. Mahoiiey, Port
land, attempted to 1 get the bill
killed outright, but this motion
failed. Mahoney told the senate
taking off the limit might allow
Portland to build underground
garages to be used as bomb shelt

Portland to go into the garage
business.
Both house and senate will meet

Three Labor
Members Quit
Over Decision
WASHINGTON, Feb." i-VPh
The wage stabilization board by a
6 to 3 vote tonight, approved a
wage policy providing for ten per
cent Increases In the future, but
the labor members promptly with-
drew from the board in protest.
The future Increases would be
ten per cent about the levels of
Jan. 15, 1950. Raises of less than
ten per cent already granted un
der wage contracts or otherwise
could be brought up U the ap
proved figure.
The ten per cent pattern which
the three Industry and three pub
lic members approved would in
clude wage Increases plus cost of
living adjustments based on the
next government Index, due next
week. That index is certain to
show a rise of two or three per
centage points, bringing automatic
increases of about three cents to
workers whose contracts are tied
to that index by special cost of
living adjustment provisions.
Cyrus Ching, chairman of the
wage stabilization board, told re
porters he was sorry the present
laoor members withdrew and ex
pressed the opinion that the pat'
tern approved by the majority was
-fair and equitable.
Defend Policy
The industry members defended
the policy, but the three labor
representatives said the arrange
ment would "attempt to do a great
injustice to all Americans who
work for wages and salaries."
At the conclusion of a heated
three hour night session, Emil
Kieve, president of the CIO Tex
tile Workers who are planning' a
major walkout of 70,000 members
in wool and worsted mills at 7
a.m. Friday told reporters the
three labor representatives could
not approve the formula.
Rieve described that formula as
"unfair and unworkable." The la
bor representatives had insisted on
a 12 per cent Increase, on top of
any cost of living adjustments in
the future.
Represents 11,000,009
But the labor members told a
news conference the united labor
policy committee, which had In
structed them on what course to
follow would meet at 11 a.m. Fri
day "to consider further approp
riate steps."
.. The united labor policy com
mittee represents most of the 16,
000,000 union workers in the na
tion. Rieve declined to say that fur
ther action might be taken by the
committee but he said the com
mittee would make a "full state
ment" after the morning session.
The policy adopted by the wage
board over labor's protests still
must be approved by economic
stabilizer Eric Johnston.
May Be Replaced
When asked by reporters what
would now happen to the wage
board, Industry member Ward
Keener said "It Is entirely pos
sible to withdraw and be replaced
by other Individuals."
"The president will eventually
have to make the decision as to
the future of the board," Keener
told reporters.
The policy which the Industry
and public members approved
would allow for another review
of the whole cost of living situa
tion in June.
The industry members had in
sisted on limiting future increases
to eight per cent above Jan. IS,
1950, levels. They had their way
on the date for starting considera
tion of the wage boost percen
tage. The labor representatives
had sought 12 per cent increases,
above the levels prevailing just
before the nation was plunged in
to conflict in Korea last June.

Chinese Reds, failing at a four

Fighting broke out this morning

This . flanking action was 14
miles southeast of the major road

The battle north of Chechon
grew In Intensity as more Chinese
and North Koreans supped around
Wonju down snowy mountain cor
ridors. " I
In the mountains behind Chlp
yong and Wonju, the Reds appear
ed to be building up for another
breakthrough assault. There were
no new large-scale enemy attacks
In that sector. j
Early today 1,000 reds 300
bearing torches charged down a
hill eight miles west of Chlpyong
but were routed before they reach
ed the allied lines. Sounds of the
enemy digging defense positions
were heard all last night north of
Chlpyong. j

A United Nations tank column
yesterday lifted a 42-hour siege
of a . valiant French-American
regimental combat team at Chlp

As the column neared Chlpyong,
air observers spotted 2,000 enemy
troops between it and the town,
firing on Chlpyong. The reds were
not aware the American relief
force was so close .
The United Nations Chlpyong
garrison was asked to hold its fire.
The relief troops charged, firing
rifles, hurling grenades and flash
ing bayonets. The surprised reds
died by the hundreds in foxholes.
Elsewhere In Korea today:
1. Little fighting was reported
In western Korea around Seoul. A
few shells whistled Into Seoul from
U. N. forces south of the Han.
2. There was no further report
on an amphibious South Korean

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15 -V
Admlnistration forces figured to
night they had gained much
ground in the troops-for-Eurepa
fight as a result of Secretary of
Defense Marshall's disclosure I eg
plans to send -100,000 American
soldiers.- ! j
: The figure, .much smaller thasi
many- senators hadt expecScd,
prompted some legislators to say
a lot of steam had been taken exit
of the opposition. i f i
But Marshall s testimony, which
was supported "by President Tru
man, failed to win over Senator
Taft of Ohio, chairman of the sea-
ate G. O. P. policyt committee. He
told a newsman no U. S. divisions
should" be sent "until we pin Eu
rope down on what she is going te
furnish." t - t i
Ne Plans for Mere ( I !
In his testimony, Marshall said
there are no plans to - send mere
than 100,000 ground troops to help
guard the continent against com
munism. -. t ' IS':
But' Senator Connally (D-Tex),
the administration's chief senate
spokesman on foreign affairs, told
reporters: . .
-He (Marshall) didnt foreclcee
arrrthins. If more trooDa are need
ed, we will send them.'?
At the senate hearing. Marshall
agreed with Senator Lodge (R
Mass) that it would be impossible
to say in advance exactly what
the troon reanlrement for Eurrn
might be in the future,
Admits pMsibuity J
Lodge also asked: i
"Is not the sending of troops te
Europe but one of the many ways
in which a president could in voire
the country in war? For example,
could not a president involve us in
war by using the navy or air force
or the atomic borm or diplomacy?
The army Is Just one method, isn't
it?-- i - M
"Yes, sir," Marshall replied. I j
Marshall said the new American
contingents for Europe will in
clude 72,000 men in four combat
divisions plus some 11,000 sup- .
porting units and will raise U. ft.
ground forces in Europe to about

Coupled with American air and

Marshall's testimony came as a
surprise to a number of senators

than they had expected.
