That question arrises all along the line from producer to consum er. The answer isn't clear yet, but a pattern is shaping up; and if it develops as planned meat controls may be more successful than those in the late war. ) . v . . ' , The first OPS order fixed as ceiling prices the highest price that had been charged in a given preceding period. But some deal ers had pushed prices above the market in anticipation of such a price freeze, so the government has directed that the ceiling must be no higher than the price for ten per cent of the volume handled in the period. What; is expected is that OPS will establish definite price ceilings on meats from pack er to retail counter, varying ac cording to items and regions. To head off revival of a black market in meat the government applied quotas to packers and set limits to any farm slaughtering. This will prevent,1 it is hoped, ex cess killings for j the illegitimate price market. Flyrby-night outfits can't spring up because they will not have quotas. If they do 'heyll be meat bootleggers. Finally it is expected that price ceilings will be put on livestock. This wasn't done during OPA days, though the! resell prices set for packers naturally set a ceiling on what could be paid for stock. Growers- have objected to price ceilings, but the i j meat trade be lieves (Continued on Editorial, page 4) Airliner Crash In Iowa Kills 15 Passengers 7 t SIOUX CITYj la., March 2-(JP A Mid-Continent Airlines plane, making a second try for a land ing here in a sudden, heavy snow storm, crashed i into a t bordering cornfield today,; killing ; 15 of the ,25 persons aboard. - The twin-engined DC-3 plane burst into flames and was destroy ed within a few minutes. - But ten survivors were extrl cated and rushed to Sioux City hospitals. Two were listed tonight as in critical condition. The plane was due at Sioux City airport at 9:12 a. m. on a sched uled flight, from Kansas City to Minneapolis. First Fatal for Line, It was the first fatal crash for Mid-Continent in its 17-year bis tory. Just last Tuesday, another Mid-Continent plane cracked up at Tulsa, Okla but all occupants walked away from the wreckage. Six persons were inpured, none critically. . . Pilot of today's- Ill-fated plane was Capt. James Graham, 34, of . Kansas City. At the airport, observers said Graham flew over the field once, went on to make a climbing turn i to the left .then was lost to spec tators in thei storm. The crash was heard a few moments later. Graham was among those killed. Rescue Wounded V An electrician at the airbase, Dave Olson, was among the. first to reach the ; burning -plane. He said he and a soldier pulled one . man from the DC-3 and found an other survivor with both legs 1 broken. .. "There was one man walking about 100 yards away from the plane," Olson 'said. "Another sol dier was standing in dazed con dition about 20 feet from the plane. "Another man was lying about 100 feet behind the tail of the plane. I think both of his legs were broken.-- The soldier and I pulled one - man out. He was still alive. Then we went to the front of the plane and pulled the pilots out. They were dead." I . Animal Crackers By WyRRFN COODRICH f touldVi afford byiTt tci By John IL White Staff Writer, The Statesman - Oregon s senate Friday ap proved, 23 to 5, a $62,000,000 bond issue for highway construction and repair during the next five years. i The measure, which would help the highway commission relieve $150,000,000 i worth of i road r de ficiencies, now goes to ithe house where many members j favor in creased gas taxes and ja smaller bond issue to solve the problem. Senators, in a j marathon ses sion that - ended at 4 p.m., : also voted, 17 to 10, Fridajf to allow manufacture of j motor vehicle license plates by ; prison convicts. This proposal, rejected j by maby previous legislatures, now goes jto the house , j j t Oleo Bill Approved j I In j other important action Fri day, the senate agriculture com mittee unanimously . approved a bill by Sen. Thomas j Mahoney, Portland, to allow sale jof colored oleo. Mahoney's bill would require restaurants i to serve ? oleo in tri angular pats, instead of cubes, to differentiate between margarine and butter. j f j The top issue Friday however, was the highway construction bill which met strong ; opposition from senators who advocated j a "pay, as you go" plaii. i ! Sen. Elmo Smith,; John Day, chairman of the highway commit tee said the commission would spend $30,000,000 a year on new construction if the : bill passed, twice the amount now ; spent. j Walker, Coon Oppose j j He said the commission would pay $3,000,000 a year to retire the bonds but claimed this would be offset because bad roads now cost the state's overall economy $100,000,000 a year. ' i I Senators Dean Walker, Inde pendence, and Sara Coon, Keat ing, led the attack on I the meas ure. i I i j i Coon advocated a 'pay-as-you-go' plan, while : Walker claimed the state's bonded indebtedness would skyrocket to? $200,000,000 if this measure and the higher education bond bill ($25,000,000) were passed. ?! Sen. Jack Bain, Portland, op posed the measure because of the highway commission's S refusal j to say what roads it Would build under the new program. Backed by Walsh if Sen. William Walsh,fCoos Bay, backed the measure, claiming, "It will cost us $3,000,000 ai yfear to retire the bonds but we'll save $2,000,000 a year in! decreased maintenance and $1,800,000 a year by the federal grant which gives us 60 per cent of the icost pf the highway program." - j U I I Sen. Rex Ellis Pendletpn, claimed "This Is the time tp act on highways because we canpay off the bond issue with 50-cent dol lars, due to the dollar jshrinkage.' Ellis added, "If wej can spend billions in Europe, we should be able to spend a few! million in improving our own state, evert if Dues into our ; credit." Five Votes Against I 1 Voting against the bill were Sen ators Walker, Coon, Bain, Belton and Bull. i i j . Approval by I the I agriculture committee of Senator) Mahoney's oleo bill came as a minor surprise, since this committee voted 6 tp 2 against the first measure to per mit sale of colored margarine, i Senators Carl EngdahL Pendle ton, Howard Belton, Canby, nd Truman Chase, ; Eugene, did not concur in the committee opinion but said this 1 was only to i leave their minds open on the subject on the floor. : The bill, which will not ! reach the senate until late inext week, would require restaurants to: serve oleo in triangle pats and would require restaurants and hotels which serve oleo to say "butter substitute served here? on menus. Debate on Licenses 'A ' 1 Rep. John Hounsell,!

By unanimous consent today the senate agreed to vote Monday ort the hotly debated issue of draft ing young men into the armed' forces at the age of 18 instead! of 19. j The- test swill come on anj amendment to the universal mili-j tary training and service biil,j which democratic floor leader MH Farland of Arizona is trying to; push through the senate as "emei-l gency legislation." j ! j A draft age of 18 has been ap proved by the senate armed sery-j ices committee. Its bill would pro-i vide, however, that 18-year-olds nearest 19 be taken first, and that none be taken before all elig ible men in ; the 19 to 26 year; category are inducted. i j Authored by Morse j H Senator Morse (R-Ore) is the; author of the amendment to drop the draft age only to 18 years and six months. But he proposes ! that those in the 19-26 bracket be called up at the same time, and that boys between 18 and 18 Vi b allowed to volunteer. Ml It is on this amendment that ' the senate will vote Monday. The house armed services com mittee has not agreed on a bill yet, but the representatives ae thinking in terms of registration and classification at 18, induction at 18, with no waiting until the 19-26 group has been exhausted. Recommends Schools I Chairman Vinson (D-Ga) of the house committee recommended tp4 day that expansion of the reserve officer training corps be deferred: in favor of building up m'ore of-l ficer training schools so that youths who are drafted will have an opportunity to become officers. At a hearing of his committee he expressed fear ; that college ROTC units may become a haven for students trying to avoid the draft. 1 j ROTC leaders told the commit tee present plans call for expand ing the number of ROTC college students from about 124,000 to approximately 150,000. The; cost jof the program i would be increased from $88,642,000 a year to 115, 000,000.

WASHINGTON, March 2-JPh- An estimated 1,700,000 workers were assured tonight of an auto matic pay increase as the govern ment announced that the cost of living rose 1.5 per cent in January. These employes, including 800,- 000 automobile workers, have con tracts tying their scale of wages directly to the labor department's cost of living index. Auto workers may get four or five cents an hour more. The auto industry's cost of living or "escalator" contract, provides for raising or lowering pay; one cent an hour for each rise or fall of 1.14 in the index. Cooling off Period Contracts with escalator clauses signed before the wage freeze date of January 25 are allowed to go as high as the cost of living can carry them. Meanwhile, the Truman admin istration apparently decided on a cooling off period in an effort to end labor leaders' "revolt" against mobilization policies. The tip-off was cancellation of a statement by Charles E. Wilson, mobilization director. He had let it be known he would reply today to the attacks the union leaders made on him when they pulled their representatives out of the economic controls setup. ' Seek Compromise The administration appeared to believe the crisis could be Com promised. President Truman in dicated this yesterday when he said it is not very serious;, just a disagreement. The unions argue they have not been given enough voice in the program; that the program favors big business, and is unfair. While this row was left to sim mer,.. Price Director Michael V. DiSalie went before a senate-house committee on defense mobilization to testify about his plans and ideas. He said: j 1. His staff is working on a used car order. It probably won't! per mit increases in ceilings, but will make allowances for differences in quality between cars of the same model. : 2. Consideration should be given to increasing social security bene fits to help solve the living prob lems of pensioned persons. He ad vocated that this be taken up when congress extends the control legis lation which expires June 30.

He said he could not reveal de tails of the expansion except to say the construction forc at Han ford will reach 7,000 for April and May and average - about 6,000 a month from then until mid-1952. "With 3,000 in the operating force this means there will be 15, 000 or 14,000 working there each month for more than a year," Jackson said. j Asked if the expansion would increase the operating force, Jack son said he was unable to com ment at this time.
