H, V. Johnson, attorney repre senting Mrs, Martha Dismore, lundlady, accused in a complaint filed with the recorder of violat ing the ordinance, said . Tuesday their position will be: that the ordinance is not constitutional and that the fair rent committee has no jurisdiction to regulate or in any manner change or modify rentals of citizens of the city. Johnson, who likewise repre sents Mrs. L. Sorber, also accused by a complaint of violating the fair rent ordinance, stated that it is hi. and his client's purpose to bring the matter before the courts to determine the point of consti tutionality. It is not a question, he explained, of respect for the com mittee and its work, but a ques tion of whether the city is acting beyond its authority and jurisdic tion.

C, which said that their case may reach the war labor board cppeals committee there "in the next 24 hours." The dispatch said WLB hinted that it may have to review the en tire case before making a decision, and stated that two or three weeks will be required to dispose of the case in the appeals committee. Meanwhile, board agents ex pected to get in touch with the Seattle board to determine wheth- ! cr a full review will be necessary. Local employes had understood some time ago that a wage increase would be forthcoming after the re gional board in Seattle sent the case to Washington, D. C, for what was thought to be merely formal approval of the regional board's decision. However, the af fair has' been delayed now since Uncle Sam has first choice on wholesale dealers' turkey stocks, but growers may sell any size bird to whomever tbey like, so long a. they stay within the ceil ing price, reports from local deal ers indicate. Partly because most growers are holding their hens for breed ing purposes or are waiting for the Christmas market, and partly because a large number of birds are being sold on government contract, Eugene's supply of the traditional Thanksgiving fowl is pretty short, they declare. Some packing houses sell all their A and B birds on govern ment contract and other, turn a large percentage over for army and navy use.- However, the re port, circulated earlier that the government was taking all turkeys under 20 pounds for members of the armed force, was not verified by dealers, who had received no such notification. ' . Local grocer, have been hard put to locate enough turkey, for Thanksgiving, '- and it la probable that a good many EUgenean. will eat chicken or pot roast. One dealer, was: trying to get a few from . a grower almost 50 miles away. Many grower, are selling about .nine torn, for every hen, holding back their better bird..' But. it's perfectly legal to buy that turkey from a farmer if it's possible to find a farmer who has one to sell. Flood Control Bill Delayed By Senate Dispute WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 ( Plans for quick passage of a bil lion dollar flood control bill ran today into an argument over the St. Lawrence seaway recommend ed by President Roosevelt. Instead of acting on the bill in a matter of hours preliminary to taking ' up a $500,000,000 rivers and harbors authorization, the senate faced the prospicp of a controvery that might run into next week. . - The plana were snagged when Sen. Aiken (R-Vt.) Insisted on presenting his amendment author izing the-seaway. Even as the sen ate moved toward debate, Aiken kept his colleagues in doubt as to whether he - would offer his I amendment for tha flood bill or the rivers and -harbors measure. Should Aiken hold his amend ment for the latter bill, the St. Lawrence controversy would be removed from the flood control measure, but there would still re main arguments over states' rights, hydroelectric power de velopment, and irrigation as' well as several big projects. . Supported By FDR The house-approved bills call for post-war construction of flood control, hydroelectric facilities, harbor works and related pro jects throughout the country a program backed in principle by President Roosevelt to create a shelf of public works and jobs. Only recently the president re newed his long-standing request for approval of the seaway, esti mated to -cost from $200,000,000 to $400,000,000. Sen, Aiken wrote his amend ment several weeks ago, refusing to go along with Chairman Over ton (D-La.), who called a senate commerce sub-committee meeting today to determine whether a treaty with Canada would be in volved.

Surprise Sweep Made Into Belfort As Yanks Capture Sarrebourg LONDON, Nov. 21. (AP) French armor thrusting northward down the Rhine stormed Mulhouse today, and U.

Eisenhower said today that the only sensible course open to the German army is to fight to the bitter end west of the Rhine. . Eisenhower Inferred that he ex per'ed the final battle of the Eu w&in war to be fought west of die Rhine, where six allied armies were waging the allied grand of fensive and hammering the nazis back along a 400-mile front. But the battle will not be easy, the supreme commander warned at'a press conference. To win the victory and peace, he said, "We've got to fight like hell for it. Now let's do it!" He called on his armies and the home fronts behind them for ever greater effort, and warned that unless all elements of the United Nations "keep on the job ever lastingly and with mounting in tensity, we are only postponing the day of victory." - He said he wanted more supplies than he is . getting. And "I think the soldier want, more than he is getting, both now and in tl)e future." . "I am optimistic myself," he said, "but I hope I can prevent myself from becoming compla cent," . He said there was no sign of a German retreat to the east side of the Rhine," and offered it as his opinion that any adversary who had concentrated so much of his forces west of a great river, when the enemy had air superiority that could destroy its bridges, would find the only sensible course to fight to the bitter end west of it.
