A report on the city council meeting, when that group voted to draw up a rent control ordin ance, was given to the realtors by James A. Rodman Sr. Preced ing the council meeting, the real tors had sent a resolution . to the council asking immediate action for a local rent control program so as to forestall federal control OPA. Loyall Rugh, board president, and others reiterated the view that realtors must keep "prod ding" in order to assure a work able rent control program is set up for Eugene. Rodman and Miss ' Cordelia Evans were named by Rugh as a committee from the realty group to keep the board up to date on what is being done to assure a practical rent control set-up is provided in Eugene. Another point brought out at the meeting Thursday was a sug gestion that the public be fully informed in advance regarding the local rent control program, so1 that when the ordinance finally is adopted it will meet the ap proval of , all representative groups. Eric Lawrence was introduced as a new member. Mrs. Alice Lan,e , English, . member of the realty group at Oakland, Calif., was a visitor and reported on the realty organization there. fa (French Troopship Also Lost But All Soldiers Saved Sunk Sesttoyers InvDsfon Sanies Americans Strangling Nazis In Strong St. Lo Offensive JAP ADMIRAL KILLED LONDON, July 13. () Vice Adm. Kiichi Hasegawa of the Jap anese navy has been killed in action, Berlin radio said today. LONDON, July 13. (AP) Six American and British destroyers were lost in landn ing operations in France, the U. S. navy department and the British admiralty an nounced tonight. The former Grace liner Santa Clara, renamed the transport Susan B. Anthony, also was lost by American naval forces along with the minesweeper Tide, the de stroyer escort Rich and the fleet tug Partridge. The American destroyers were the Corry and Glennon, built in the 1940-41 program, and the Meredith. President Roosevelt an nounced soon after the landings that two destroyers had been lost. He did not name them. Three British destroyers an nounced lost by the admiralty were the Boadicea. Swift and Svenner. The British also an nounced the loss of the frigates Mourne, Blackwood and Lawford, the trawler Lord Eustin and the auxililary Minister. Total naval losses announced were 15 vessels, seven American and eight British. Several thou sand ships were involved in the landings. s The Susan B. ' Anthony (Santa Clara) was a $4,817,500 liner of 8,183 gross tons, built in 1930. . She was 483 feet long. The Susan B. Anthony sank In the channel while carrying troops to France, without the loss of a soldier.. Some 50 or more of the 400 naval personnel aboard still are unreported, out most are dc ueved safe. Survivors said few of the sol diers even got their feet wet and they were saved with their field packs and small arms by rescue ships which swarmed to the scene. ; Lt. W. H. Hutchison, Flushing, N. Y., a navigator, said the rescue job "certainly lates with that of the President Coolidge in the Vuth Pacific." SUPREME HEADQUARTERS, ALLIED EXPEDITIONARY FORCE, July 13 ( The Ger mans in St. Lo, ancient fortress town in the middle of the base of the Cherbourg peninsula, are be ing gradually strangled today by the arms of a powerful American tank and infantry offensive which lready had passed by the town to the east. Supreme headquarters an nounced the capture of seven towns by the Americans in gains along a 48-mile front. On their left flank Lt Gen, Omar N. Bradley's warriors cap tured La Boulaye, 2y miles east of St. Lo. They pressed on across the St. Lo-Bayeux road and reach ed the outskirts of La Barre de Semilly, 2V4 miles southeast of St. Lo. Another similar American drive down the Cherbourg peninsula's west coast threatened to engulf Uraent Wire From WPB Head Asks People For Paper Salvage Lane Bond Sales Launch No Ship ' It appeared improbable today that Lane county would win he honor of launching a Kaiser vic tory ' ship for having the highest per capita rating for sale of E bonds in the fifth war loan. Three ships are to be launched by the three leading Oregon coun ties, leaders in their districts with E-bond sales. Lane to date has a rating of $14.75 and is in ninth place on the list of 12 counties in this district. A report from John B. Hodg kins, deputy manager, Western Oregon Fifth War Loan league, comments: "Lane has worked out of the cellar and increased its standing from twelfth place to ninth." This race ends at 3 p. m. July 31, closing date in the drive for sale of E, F, and G bonds still being counted. Tillamook county is in first place with a per capita rating of $21.69, followed, in order, by Ben ton, Clatsop, Marion, Yamhill, Linn, Curry, Douglas, Lane, Coos, Polk and Lincoln counties. During the dstve, Lane county pupils purchased $328,908 of the S9.059.992 bought by Oregon school students, according to word received here from Mrs. F. W.

Four towns and several square miles of territory were overrun by the Americans, making their biggest territorial gains in several days. The British second army, mean while, regained the much fought- over town of Maltot, four miles southwest of Caen at the eastern end of the battlefront in the bloody triangle formed by the Orne and Odon rivers. ' Advance formations of tanks and infantry swept through La Boulaye, 2Vi miles east of St. Lo and then pushed three-quarters of a mile beyond southward across the St. Lo-Bayeux road and draw ing up a semi-circle about the town of 15,000. To the northwest they turned back a savage counterattack and retook the no-man's-land village of Le Desert in the Vire valley. St. Lo dominates all the main roads in central Normandy and its capture, coupled with pressure to the west, would be calculated to force the Germans to withdraw completely from the Cherbourg peninsula. To the west, the Americans cleared the Germans out of the Laland Mauduit coastal area southwest of La Haye du Puits and northwest of Lessay. They captured Vesly, two and a half miles northeast of Lessay and pushed on for another half mlie, To the northeast and east they captured the road junctions of St. Germain and Gorges, three miles northeast and 4 miles north, respectively, or Periers. f of USWV Fun Announced Tavl. m... . fc.-..y ' lwm -HOCKS, P the military order of Fnts, fn order of the t4 it,.

Nelson appealed directly to "every man, woman and child" in Eugene and Lane county to support the waste paper salvage campaign. Waste paper here? can be left at the county fairground, and a pick-up will be made next Sunday by the Eugene junior chamber of commerce, cooperat ing with the salvage committee. Bundles of waste paper should be placed on curbs by 9 a. m. Sun day. Nelson's Appeal Nelsons wire follows: "Six months ago when the shortage of waste paper imperiled vital war production I appealed to the American press to launch the U.

The study was made by the bu reau, of which Dr. Victor P. Mor ris is director, at the request of the industrial committee of the Central Lane Planning council, with Dr. Wesley C. Ballaine, as sociate professor of business ad ministration, directing this par ticular survey. The statistics re ported are from replies received by July 1, and since other replies are still coming in, the final repvt will not be made until about Aug ust 1, Dr. Ballaine said. The council requested the bu recu to study those postwar plans o' local consumers, oucine;s nvn and farmers which would most vital affect employment in the critical months of transition from a war economy to one of peace. Therefore, the bureau divided the study into three separate surveysi (1) the volume of anticipated em ployment and the construction plans of local business firms; (2) the distribution of anticipated ur ban post-war consumer expendi tures upon new houses and other expensive consumer goods; and (3) plans of farmers. "The primary purpose of this study is to ascertain as nearly as possible the private employment opportunities when people from both the armed services and war industries return to the commun ity looking for jobs. A secondary purpose is to aid local business men in knowing the desires of lrcal consumers so that they may more intelligently plan their activ ities," Dr. Ballaine writes. "Although it is impossible to forecast the exact tol.ime of em ployment either now or immedi ately after the war, nevertheless it may be concluded that the type Near Half-Million In 1943-44 Welfare .

Out of county funds, $128,400 were budgeted for old-age assist ance, aid to dependent children, blind assistance, and general as sistance, with $99,253.58 spent, a sum of $29,146.42 being unused and returned to the general fund. Under the table for expenditure of county funds, Dudley reported $69,653.05 spent in the year for old-age assistance; $9,762.40 for aid to dependent children; $1, 482.80 for blind assistance; and $18,355.33 for general assistance. For the table on total expendi tures for federal, state, and coun ty funds, Dudley's report shows actual expenditures of $469,786, the estimated expenditures having been listed at $484,500. Under this total, $342,272 were spent for old age assistance; $34,603 for aid to dependent children; $6,218 for blind assistance; $86,693.03 for general assistance (no federal funds being involved in this pro gram). Further Items in Dudley's re port revealed that total expendi tures to recipients of public as sistance in July 1943, for 1317 cases, was $35,442.36, while in June 1944 the amount expended on 1345 cases reached $45,880.01, Dudley saying the increase prim arily was due to two causes: a liberalization of grants, and ad vance in living costs.

Starving Japs In Guinea Fight To Escape Trap By UNITED PRESS An estimated force of 45,000 starving Japcnese sought desper ately to break out of an allied trap on British New Guinea in the southwest Pacific Thursday, as casualty figures on the Saipan campaign revealed the Japanese lost five men for every American killed. Although details of fighting were not disclosed it was indicat ed that isolated units of the 18th Japanese army on the northern New Guinea coast were making furious attacks in an attempt to find an escape route. The units, pocketed on a 110- mile strip, by the American land ings at Aitape and Hollandia, were encircled by American' forc es to the west and Australian troops to the east. A communique from Gen. Douglas MacArthur's headquar ters said the strength of the orig inal army trapped was estimated at 60,000 but that an estimated 25 per cent is believed to have died from privation or has been killed by aerial bombardment On Saipan it was estimated that less than five per cent of the ene my s original force of 20,000 to 30,000 survived.

WilnoCapfured By Reds As Foe In Big Retreat LONDON July 13 fl) B WhiU Russian troops concluded five days of fierce fighting with the capture of Wilno, capital of Soviet Lithuania and gateway to the Bal tic, Marshal Josef Stalin announc ed tonight following nazi broad casts that the German armies in that area had begun a major retreat MOSCOW, July 13 (U.B The Germans were reported fleeing in disorder into Latvia along a 93 mile front today under a mighty new soviet offensive designed to complete the liberation of the Baltic states. The new assault put five red armies on the march westward along a 450-mile front toward the Baltic sea and Germany in the greatest coordinated offensive of the war, confronting the nazi com mand with the necessity of sacri ficing huge chunks of territory in order to concentrate their dwindl ing strength for the defense of East Prussia and the Polish plains. One soviet column south of the new Latvian front drove to with in 36 miles of the disputed 1939 border of East Prussia and 73 miles of its prewar border, while others stormed the pripyat marshes stronghold of Pinsk and cdvanced to within approximately 20 miles of the fortresses Grod no and Daugavpils (Divinsk), the letter in southeastern Latvia. (Reliable diplomatic reports reaching Madrid by way of Vichy said Adolf Hitler had convened a supreme war council, at which it was decided to withdraw forces from certain occupied countries, believedly the Balkans and Nor way to bolster Germany's shrink ing strategic reserves for antici pated decisive battles in the west, south and east.) Front dispatches said that Gen. Andrei I. Yeremenko had "com pletely routed" the enemy in launching his new offensive on the Latvian front two days ago. Yeremenko's 2nd Baltic army broke through the so-called Ger man "panther line" of concrete blockhouses, trenches, barbed wire and minefields and, advancing 22 miles, seized more than 1,000 towns and villages. In the first day alone, the Soviets killed 7,000 Ger mans and captured 1,500 prisoners. The attack, which cleared 1 60 mile stretch of the Narva-Polotsk railway, appeared to be taking the form of a frontal assault on Riga, 170 miles west of Idrltsa, while Ivan C. Bagramian's 1st Baltic army moved in from the southeast. One of Bagramian's columns at last reports was only a little mor than 100 miles southeast of Riga and the Baltic. . - Street battles with the encircled enemy garrison of Wilno went in to their sixth day. . .

John M. Coffee, (D.-Wash.) denied today an assertion by Drew Pearson, Washington columnist, that she had registered at a Tacoma, Wash., hotel under an assumed name and promised to devote time to Coffee's defeat. ' "I have never registered at any hotel under an assumed name," Miss Kellems said in an address at a Kiwanis club meeting, "and if he (Pearson) will examine the register of the Winthrop hotel in Tacoma, Wash., tor June 17, he wiU find that Miss Vivien Kel lems of Westport, Conn,, was reg istered. "And may I add that since I am not a resident of the sixth district of the state of Washing ton, it would never occur to me to try to advise the voters of that district as to how to conduct their election." She said that that, however, did not mean Coffee and "other gen tlemen" have heard the last of her and promised that "if my friends will be patient about two more months, your faith in me will be justified." "It is just possible," she said, that the voters' of the sixth dis trict of Washington may yet have the answer as to how Mr. Cof fee got my personal letters out of the United States mall, and as to why he chose to read them on the floor of the house, and why he thinks . he is hiding behind his congressional immunity when he calls me a traitor, among other things."
