Rent Ordinance
Test Coming In
Trial Of Case
Eugene', fair rent ordinance,
designed as a hold-the-line move,
comes up for trial and test in a
case now pending in municipal
cburt.
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. The complaint which was
filed against Mrs. Sorber has not
been served a. yet, since she lives

WLB Plans Action
In Bus Wage Case
Eugene employes of the Oregon
Motor Stages found scant encour
agement Tuesday In a United
Press dispatch from Washington,
D. 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. '-The bill, are -beset" by several
side Issues. One group has brought
up the Issue of states' rights being
affected by the federal govern
ment's broad Jurisdiction over in
land waterways.1
- Members from the Missouri val
ley are demanding changes to give

gation and other water uses in the

. Another controversy revolves
around an amendment to exempt
California great central valley
from a 42-year-old reclamation
law limiting to 160 acres the land
of any owner which can be irri
gated from federally-financed
projects.
There also Is a dispute over
whether . electricity developed

Surprise Sweep Made

Capture Sarrebourg
LONDON, Nov. 21. (AP) French armor thrusting
northward down the Rhine stormed Mulhouse today, and
U. S. troops captured Sarrebourg, 32 miles from the' Rhine,
in an eastward drive collapsing the whole German stand in
the Vosges mountains, . t . .
The swift-paced French perhaps had already enter Mul

Fight To Death
West Of Rhine
PARIS, Nov.- 21. (U.B Gen.
Dwlght D. 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.

Faith With Higher
Education-Hunter ,
The state has not kept up with
the potentialities nor with the
faith in Oregon in its responsibil
ities toward higher education, de
clared Dr. Frederick M. Hunter,
chancellor of the state system of
higher education, In a talk for the
Rotary club Tuesday noon on the
future for the state In the post
war period.
While Oregon was turning down
a program to help education in
the recent election, California was
passing a program that Increased
its support to education In general
from $60 to $80 per student, the
speaker pointed out. All neighbor
ing states in the west in the past
decade or 15 year, have spent mil'-
lions of dollar, on expanding and
improving facilities for ' higher
education, while : Oregon . spent !
$100,000 on physical plants and j
equipment in the same period, !
Hunter said, . . j
- Displaying a chart based on au
thentic and reliable studies made
of the subject, ' the. chancellor
showed that a big increase in en
rollment will come at the con-
