UH-Mera- beis of the staffs of 51 United Na tions who dine at two cafeterias at Church house receive a fare rationed strictly on Britain's aus terity basis, but there is no grum bling. For the delegates themselves, austerity rations are no real prob I em, since most of them are bil leted in London's lsrgest hotels and have a I reasonable choice of viands, although the portions are modest. . But for the staffs who choose to take their meals in Church house, the menus, unlike those they en joyed in San Francisco, are de void of luxury items. The supply of staples dwindled sharply by the end of last week when the cafeterias were invaded beyond expectation by those who re mained on the spot for committee meetings in connection with the opening of the United Nations general assembly. In tne beginning the menus boasted meat pie or fish, the usual English boiled potato, Brussels sprouts or cabbage and a steamed pudding, for the final course. Brit ish meals are limited to three courses. Ernest J. Haydon. who remem bers having served bounteous meals In Portland. Ore., is major domo of the two Church house cafeterias.

McKay spoke of the future the United States might claim if her people would cooperate in peace time as they did in wartime, but emphasized especially the brieht future he foresees for the Pacific coast in general and Salem in par ticular. Between 1938 and 1944. Oregon bank deposits showed a larger percentage of gains than did those of either Washington or Califor nia, he declared. Listing briefly this area's In dustries, McKay pointed out that Salem is second city on the Pa cific coast in the food packingin- dustry. He emphasized the Wil lamette valley project as an en couragement for agriculture and industry alike. Greatest need in Salem today is housing, he maintained, telling of able men who have failed to stay here because they could not find living accommodations for their families. The city's building trades council estimates that 3000 new houses are needed here, he declared. Of Marion county's 8.- 500 men in the service, 5000 have already returned, but the others will need housing, he declared. This was McKay's first Salem ENDS Laurence Olivier.
