Lamb Going Back To Ration List WASHINGTON, June 29 OP) lluusewives will have to take their ration books to market again in buying choice lamb cuts and soft cheese, and the butcher will take one to two more points a pound for beef steaks and roasts. The OPA, announcing point values for the period from next Sunday through July 29, said to day it was necessary to put la,mb cuts chops, steaks and roasts back under rationing because na tional distribution has not been equitable. Values assigned range from three points a pound for some chuck roasts to 10 points for loin chops. The supply of beef steaks and roasts will be smaller by 12 per cent in July, OPA explained in hiking the point values to a rec ord high, a Porterhouse steak, for example, will cost 14 points a pound, up two, while a seven-incut standing rib roast goes from eight to 10 points a pound. Because return of popular lamb cuts to the chart is counterbal anced by a smaller supply of beef, housewives will continue to get only 30 points a month for buy ing meats and fats. The allotment was 60 points a month before all meat except choice beef was made ration-free early in May. All pork, veal and the cheaper cuts of beef and lamb remain point-free, and butter and mar garine continue at 12 and two points a pound respectively. Soft cheeses, the so-called per ishable varieties including Swiss and cream, go from a point-free value to four points a pound.

At the present time the government controls one-fifth of the land, with a value of five to eight billion dollars, the taxes from which would bring 580 to 600 million dollars, and 90 million dol lars annually in state taxes. "Our duty is to understand the land problems and to ldentfy our selves as conservationists, second to get out to our neighbors and friends in the east information; and third to assert ourselves fin all? In congress, and to realize that our great allies in free enter prise are now manifesting their desires from coast to coast," the speaker concluded.

Em ployers may call at the office, 1133 Willamette, for assistance and advice. - Priority referral, according to MacDonald, is a voluntary meth od, agreed upon by labor man agement, and government, not to hire any man unless he has been sent to fill that particular Job by the USES or another "referral" agency. (There are no other re ferral agencies in Lane). A system of manpower priori ties will be set up as a means of channeling workers to critically urgent projects which are behind schedules. Employers in vital industries, especially, will be benefited by this service. MacDonald said that agricul ture has been specifically exclud ed from the labor stabilization system; and the logging and lumbering industries operate un der a modified program provid ing a more fluid shifting of men from job to job within the Indus tries without priority referral ex cept for men who wish to leave logging or lumbering jobs for some other occupation. The system is expected to be highly effective In discouraging men from leaving these three in dustries and pther war production work. In logging and lumbering, a worker may move from one Job to any other where there Is an opening within the Industry provided only he has a special "release" from his last employer. He cannot be hired, however, by any person' outside the Industry unless he has been sent definitely to that Job by one if the desig nated referral agencies, MacDon ald explained. Outside the Portland-Vancouver area, employment ceilings and manpower allowances will not be used, at least for the present, since these controls are needed only In critically short labor areas, he pointed out, Allies Take- (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) 57 German planes in aerial com bat, supreme headquarters re ported.

CIO Fails to Call Lumber Strike Vote PORTLAND, Ore., June 28. W Temporary peace settled over the northwest lumber industry today as the CIO International Wood workers of America concluded an executive meeting without calling for a l"gal strike vote The AFL Lumber and Sawmill Workers' union, which had also predicted a possible strike in pro test of the war labor board's de nial of wage increases, recom mended earlier that its members remain on the Job, The settlement, however, was only temporary. The CIO, bowing to the WLB's decision on 1943 wages, announced that it would demand a 1944 increase to a min imum of $1.15 an hour at a meet ing here July 6 with Oregon and Washington lumber operators. The previous demand, rejected by the WLB, was for $1.02. Present minimum is 90 cents. Kenneth Wiederhoit Wounded in Europe r Sgt. Kenneth J. Wiederhoit, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard V.

(Signal Corp rsdio-telsphoto from London.) U. of O. school of music: "This is a personal triumph for Marie Rogndahl, It is also an achieve ment in which the cooperative ef forts of the school of music, Uni versity of Oregon, and the towns people of Eugene have played an important part. The fact that a girl from Oregon has been chosen the one 'undiscovered voice of America' from among 10,000 com petitors is a matter of justifiable pride for the entire state. Marie's success is the result of native abil ity, conscientious study, and ex cellent teaching on the part of Sig urd Nilssen." Praise From Hollls Orlando John Hollls, acting president,' University of Oregon: "r am delighted to learn of Miss Rogndahl's success in the Hour of Charm contest. The recognition accorded her is well deserved. Miss Rogndahl has been perse vering in the training of her voice. She has been most generous in the use of her talent for the pleasure of others. The University of Ore gon is very proud of Marie Rogn dahl. People in all parts of the United States will now have the opportunity to hear her fine voice." Chancellor Frederic M. Hunter: "I have the highest enthusiasm over the compliment to Marie and her unusual voice. I have been connected with institutions that operate schools of music of high quality for a great number of years, but' I have never heard a student singer with such a fine voice or so great a range, and such accuracy. Her tone at F above high C Is as fine quality as middle C. It is a great compliment to the school of music, to Dean Kratt, to her teacher, Sigurd Nilssen, and to the university, that she has won. I, as an executiv of the state system of higher education, wish her great success." Mayor Adds Word Commented Mayjr Elisha Large of Eugene: "Miss Rogndahl's talent has been recognized locally for some time. Winning this contest gives her national recognition, which should lead to a successful career. AU Eugene rejoices with her." Margaret Zimmerman, dramatic soprano of Eugene, who Is another outstanding student of Nilssen and a friend of Marie: "I'm not sur prised. Marie has one of the most amazing and beautiful voices I have ever heard. I'm sure she will have a great success, because I know she is willing to work hard, and I think her honors will leave her sweet and unchanged." Greatest praise came from her lo.ig-time friend and adviser, Miss Maude Garnett, associate profes sor of public school music on the campus. It was she who received 1 t night's message of confirma tion that Marie had been named highest-ranking vocalist. A tele gram from Robert P. Burrows, conductor of the contest, stated only: "Marie is the winner." Miss Garnett believes Marie is headed for the very top of the musical world, because the girl has had not only judicious tram ing. has physical capabilities for perfect tone production and other potentialities, but because she has the intelligence, determination and lack of conceit which can make a young singer great, Word from Marie Last week she wrote Miss Gar nett: "I hope I'll sing well Sunday night. I don't care about anything else." brie went on to relate that the other two grand finalists, in the last rehearsals, were receiving the constant, attention of their teachers, who were able to be present. And on Sunday morning, before Hie final broadcast in the contest. she said: "Honestly, I feel awful. I m afraid I'm going to disappoint you all. I don't feel so bad for myself. It's Just that all you peo ple who have been pulling for me will be let down. There's nothing that can make you feel worse than that." That night Marie went to Radio City to broadcast, and won the contest.
