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.

lie land question has two phases,
the history and present condition
of these resources and the question
of administration of these re
sources. 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

desires from coast to coast," the

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,

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.

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

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. A vote was made Im
