Rent Control
Aired Again
By Realtors
Rent control was up for. fur.
ther discussion at the Eugene
Realty board meeting, Thursday,
officers and others reminding the
membership that a "vigilant in.
terest is tne answer to make a
local rent control program work
successfully.
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.

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."

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.

Lo, . and reached to within two
miles of that town.
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.

Planning Survey Here Points
Stable Post-War Employment
Results of a preliminary survey
made by the bureau of business
research, University of Oregon,
on post-war employment and con
sumption in Lane county reveal
that there will be a high degree
of stability of employment, per
haps with a slight Increase, and
a definite interest by more than
two-thirds of the consumers re
plying in the purchase of com
paratively expensive consumer
goods.
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

state, and county funds amounted
to $469,786 for the fiscal year,
July 1, 1943 to June 30, 1944, as
administered through the Lane
county public welfare commission,
according to a report released
Thursday by Max Dudley, admin
istrator for the commission.
. 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.

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. Americans bur.
ied 11,948 Japanese dead and
captured 1,000 prisoners. A con
siderable number of Japanese still
remain unburied.

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.

Connecticut industrialist, former

to a nazi agent in Argentina were
read on the .floor of the house of
representatives by Rep. 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

if he (Pearson) will examine the

will be justified."
"It is just possible," she said,
that the voters' of the sixth dis

the answer as to how Mr. Cof

By United Press
Political observers today studied
a strong republican trend In the
returns from three of the six states
in which primary elections were
held this week, seeking a possible
clue to .the relative strength of
the two major parties in Novem
ber's balloting.
1 In Utah, which has been pre
dominantly democratic for the
last 20 years, the republicans
polled 34,014 votes to 39,072 for
the democrats in the gubernatorial
races that saw the renomination
of democratic Gov. Herbert B.
Maw and the GOP nomination of
Mayor J. Bracken Lee, of Price.
Sen. Elbert Thomas, democrat,
was unopposed for renomination
in the primary and will face Adam
S. Bcnnion, utilities executive, in
the November election.
A similar GOP gain was noted
in Washington state where the
does not imply a more liberal
policy regarding emergency
leaves, it was stated, and such
leaves will be granted only rarely.
The war department makes rou
tine reports of serious illness and
subsequent changes in the physi
cal condition of soldiers to the
next of kin. In the absence of
such reports It must be assumed
the individual's condition has not
changed materially, It was point
