Price tags were marked down hour by hour. By late afternoon slashes on some items ranged to more than 40 per cent. Eager customers waving money in , their hands pushed their way to crowded counters to snap up merchandise at lac be low nationally advertised prices. - In Macy's basement, areas were roped off and patrons were herded into waiting lines to buy appliances One-way traffic was set up to f .-event further con fusion. Lewyt vrcuum cleaner, down to $62.35 from $89.95; Mixmas ter,' to $29.64 from $46.50; Toast master,', to $14.72 from $23.00; Palm Beach men's suits,: to $19.38 from $29.85; Spingeweave suits, to $30.17 from $49.50. ! These cuts are long overdue,1 one customer said. "This crowd ; shows that if you give the people .the right price, theyH come out and buy." . s Macy's started the price war: Tuesday, reducing nearly 6,000 items formerly price-fixed un der so-called f air trade" laws. Its - action followed a United States supreme court ruling that stores which did not sign fair ; trade agreements couldn't be re quired to maintain retail prices set by manufacturers. Competitors who j assert that "nobody undersells "us" met or undercut the new prices, and the scramble was on. As fast as pric es in one store were reported to others, new cuts were put in ef fect. : Where will It end? Trade sources said prices of some items already have reached perilously close to dealers' cost levels.; One dealer pointed out that "if this thing gets out of hand, if s like a pit with no bot tom." ... Thus far, retailers . elsewhere across the nation apparently re gard the war as a New York phenomenon. . ! 101st YEAR TWO SECTIONS-20 PAGES Th Or9oq StatMman, Salem, Orejoa, Fridar.

Yet the dinging has to continue because of the failure of people to heed simple - rules of conduct and exercise sim pleprecautions. This is impressed on me by the receipt on almost the same day "of a report on traffic safety from . Capt Walter Lansing, and the re port of the state - fire . marshal, Robert Taylor. The former states that the number of fatal traffic accidents in Oregon in 1950 in creased 20 per cent to 427, and total accidents reached a new high at 74,106. Thejnumber. of persons injured was 15,332. : Mr. Taylor ogives a similar, story of death and destruction by fire. In 1950 71 persons lost their lives from fires, against 52 in 1949. Losses to property from fire rose 64.66 per cent to $11,895,986, which compares with the ten-year , average $7,224,514. In traffic accidents the death toll in Marion county was 20 in 1950 and 15 in 1949, an increase of one-third. The number of acci dents rose from 4192 to 4747. In Polk county the fatalities were three in 1949 and eight in 1950, with 754 accidents in 1949 to 647 in 1950. There are more cars and trucks in operation , and the an nual mileage per car probably is increasing, and death rides along with the increase. Five persons succumbed from burns or suffocation in Marion county in 1950, none In Polk coun ty.

Adm.

N. retreat began the Joint chiefs sent Mac Arthur a message warning him the situation I "greatly" increased the possibility of k general war.; In this tense period, he added, the U. S. Meriterranean fleet "got un derway and went to sea." . ' In his testimony, Sherman qual ified his call yesterday for a tight U. N. economic and naval block ade of red China and seizure of ships at sea ; carrying contraband war goods to communist sea ports.
