Page I Eugene Register-Guard, Thursday, July 13, 1944. High Price to Troop Trains Hit by OPA Complaints that troop train per. sor.nel, momentarily stopping in Eugene, are being charged above celling prices (or ice cream, caused two refreshment vendors operating near the SP depot to be hailed before the OPA price panel, it was disclosed Thursday. The dealers were specifically charged with selling ice cream at SS and 60 cents a quart when the Eugene ceiling for ice cream is 35 cents a quart. According to the findings of the price panel the overall average price of ice cream in the vicinity of the SP station has been around 40 cents a quart despite the 35 cents city average; therefore the panel decided that one of the dealers involved should roll his prices back from 50 cents to 40 cents a quart, while the other merchant, who in 1S42 filed a selling price of 50 cents a quart with the OPA, should bring his current price of 60 cents back to his 1942 level. .

Army Liberator bombers, in a new attack on Truk in the Caro lines, dumped 50 tons of bombs on Dublon island Monday with out opposition. A communique , from southeast Asia headquarters said the Japan ese had withdrawn from the Mai bi Khunou ridge dominating the Palel-Tamu road, the enemy's main supply route into India. Chinese troops were massing for an assault on the Japanese strong hold of Tengchung, west of the Salween river, after American Mitchell medium bombers blasted a hole in the ancient city's wall. Douglas Expected To Oppose Wallace WASHINGTON, July 13 Supporters of Henry A. Wallace named Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas today as the vice president's chief rival for second place on the 1944 demo cratic ticket. They also are keeping an eye on Senate Leader Barkley, Speak er Sam Rayburn, Sen. Truman (D-Mo) and War Mobilization Di rector James F. Byrnes. Organized campaigns are not yet in evidence for any of them. None is likely pending an expect ed word from President Roosevelt that he wouldn't mind having Wallace for a running mate again but that somebody else might do. The Wallace camp has an idea that a definite, if not open, drive is in progress for Douglas. It has heard rumors that back of Doug las are Secretary of the Interior Ickes, Joseph P. Kennedy, former ambassador to England, and Thomas Corcoran, former Roose velt "brain truster." . Planning- (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) DR.

However, there is now an icute shortage of agricultural labor in the county. In 1840, 3,725 persons were associated with agriculture. This constituted an adequate lab- or supply considering the relation-J ship between prices or ,iarm pro ducts and costs of production (in cluding wages), according to the report. The present shortage is due to demands of the armed services and the departure of many per sons to work in war centers. If all the people who are now in the armed services and war industries were to return to the farms from which they left, there wculd be little labor shortage. In other words, it is not likely that the farm population, (volume of em ployment in agriculture) will in crease substantially over the 1840 figure during the first few months after the end of the war. For the longer run, more intensive farm ing may increase the farm popu lation. Of the 1000 questionnaires sent to urban consumers, 322 had been returned by July 1 and others have come in since, Dr. Ballaine said. Those replying proposed to allocate $908,595 as follows: 60 percent for new houses (built by owners or contractors); 14 per cent for new autos; 11 percent for home furnishing, (Including furn iture, appliances, home freezing unit, etc.); 7 percent remodel house (including air condition unit); 7 percent for travel; and 1 percent for miscellaneous. rones. Therefore I appeal to every man, woman and child of your city to redouble his efforts in the U. S. victory waste paper cam paign in cooperation with your newspaper." ' Mother of Six Now Art Student Here Having wanted to study art all her life, Mrs. Ida Nestell, Salem, mother of six children ,took the opportunity in 1938 at the Salem art center, while four of her chil dren were attending the Univer sity of Oregon, and this summer im BtnHinff summer session- art school here herself. She first at tended the university in the sum mer of 1941. Since that time she has had oil paintings exhibited twice in the Oregon art show in Portland, and this spring her oil painting, "Autumn Leaves" which she sketched on the McKenzie river was one of the paintings sold at the show. At th Salem art center. Mrs. Nestell became acquainted with Mrs. Marian Flew, tnen oirector, now an instructor in art at Oregon stot mUam. who now also is on the university campus working on ceramics (pottery). Mrs. r ieia was at one time head of adult educa tion for the state WPA and is president of the Salem art center. Mrs. Field's daugnter, Mary t iem, now Mrs.' Orval Etter, Eugene, wan graduated from the univer sity in 1939. ' Polio Cases Reported PORTLAND, July 13. 04 Two new cases of infantile paraly sis, one in Portland and one in Lincoln county, were recorded by the state board of health today. .; The board's weekly review showed an increase of scarlet fever over last year's level. Federal expenditures for vene. real disease control in 1943 totaled $12,500,000. " Americans Seize Italy Stronghold ROME, July 13 (UPJ American assault forces 6tormed and cap tured Lajatico, German mountain stronghold 20 miles southeast ot Livorno, in some of the bitterest fighting on the Italian front since the fall of Rome, allied head quarters reported today. German resistance stiffened further all along the line, and now is nesring the intensity ot a. full scale stand in the outposts of the Gothic line as the allied fifth and eighth armies battle before the coastal anchors of Livorno and Ancona. The Germans mounted costly and generally unsuccessful coun terattacks in a number of sectors, and were revealed to have push' ed advanced eighth army elements ".:. . two miles from Pie' . ' inga in the mountains east of the Ti ber valley. United States units of Lt. Gen. Mark W. Clark's fifth army beat off counter-thrusts in the Era river valley southeast of Livorno before capturing by-passed Laja tico and making gains up to a mile and a half beyond the line five miles eastward from Lajatico to Villamagna.. . The allied .communique and supplementary reports said notn ing of the situation in the coastal sector below Livorno, where the Americans had captured Castigli oncello and pushed on within eight miles of the big port. French forces of the fifth army captured the town of San Donate astride an important secondary road seven miles southwest of Poggibonsi, fortified town on the main highway 21 miles below Florence.

"In your city approximately 5.7 pounds of household waste paper per person are available each month in addition to 5.5 pounds per person on surround ing farms. These figures provide for the first time monthly quotas for your area and should prove helpful in stimulating household collections. "Despite the excellent coopera tion of the public and the 17,000 salvage committees, collections have averaged about 588,000 tons a month in 1944, or 79,000 tons short of our monthly goal. Re ceipts in May were 622,000 tons or 45,000 tons below our quota and for June we are receiving only 84 per cent. "Obviously continuation of this dangerous situation will not only jeopardize war production but cause further curtailment of the diminished allotments of civilian paper. Not Convinced "A new study made through tha courtesy of the Gallup news paper sponsorship reveals only 63 per cent of our families are saving waste paper regularly and only 67 per cent are convinced of the need of waste paper. This is astonishing in the light of your generous support Waste paper is the nation's number one critical war material, so essential the army is now preparing to salvage what little they can in the north African and south Pacific combat 1 - Z&i i ... swa if:' 1 f 1 IE. s I I 1 Ran Iii-iiv yuiiafuuii jMIUION DOUAI vjUipstitk STAYS 4 Beauty Extras 1.
