Porter, OPA administrator, said today OPA was planning a pro gram of "progressive decontrol" during the next six to eight months "that will get us back to a normal economy as easily as possible." Porter, addressing a Chicago As sociation of Commerce luncheon, stated, however, that economists have estimated that a sudden end to price control would cause "all the way from a 30 per cent im mediate increase in wholesale prices to as high, as BO per cent." He said that under OPA "there is the opportunity to maintain a stability in our economy during the next eight, 10 or 12 months or whatever time it takes to get full scale widespread production." Porter added that lie hoped a "much expanded program on meat controls will be developed within the next week or sooner." 'We know that certain enforce ment efforts must be speeded up," he said. "We are going to do everything we can to get on top of it." Views Housing At a news conference preceding the luncheon, Porter said that be cause of the housing crisis a $1, 600,000 deficiency appropriation granted OPA by Congress would be used to expand a newly es tablished building materials di vision, and to employ a "substan tial number" of additional inves tigators. The additional . investigators, Porter stated, will concentrate chiefly on preventing the diver sion of lumber from "normal out lets." "A lot of lumber is going into what in wartime would be de scribed as nonessential uses," he said.' "We hope to take positive and drastic measures 1 that will channel essential building ma terials into essential uses." Porter also said he expected an announcement would be made in Washington within a day or two on OPA price policies for new au-' tomobiles. He declined to elaborate.- ,. Goering Ducks Accusations NUERNBERG, Germany, March 21 04") Hermann Goering swore today that he knew nothing of German concentration camp slaughters. . "Even Hitler didn't know ap proximately what went on be cause Himmler (head of the Ges tapo) always kept these things extremely secret," the leading de fendant of 22 Nazis on trial for war crimes told the International Military Tribunal. Goering, still sharp in his sev enth day on the stand, was em phatic as he sought - to place the blame for camp horrors oh the Gestapo chief, who committed suicide after, capture. "You mean to say that even when the Kreisleiters were in formed of. the concentration camps that you, as second man of the Reich, didn't know?" asked British Prosecutor Sir David Maxwell-Fyfe. "Didn't your friend Himmler inform you?" Goering bristled' and 'answered: "That is true. These things were kept from me and. I object to your designating Himmler as my friend." Sir David attacked Goering's claims of ignorance by introduc ing a secret document, an order issued to Kreisleiters of Hesse Nassau Feb. 10, 1945, directing them to destroy, at all costs "in stallations and records of concen tration camps." The order also directed the shooting or hanging of German civilians who fled before Allied armies and specified that Nazi party members were "to keep back from the front up to the last minute" so they would survive to "form the foundation stone of a greater Germany." 'Wac Corporal' Into Space-Ot s PASADENA. Calif., March 21 (P) A new ionosphere rocket, developed by California Insti tute of Technology, has soared" 43 Vz miles into space in quest of weather secrets. The Army Ordnance Depart ment disclosed today that the rocket,- weighing 1000 pounds, 16 feet long and 12 inches in diameter, has been turned over to the Signal Corps. Its job will be to speed into the sub-stratosphere, record temperatures, and release the data by para chute. Test Made ' Army authorities disclosed that in a recent test at the White Sands Proving Grounds at Las Cruets, New Mexico, the giant man-made meteor soared to a new American altitude record, 230,000 feet. That is 43 miles. The test was under the direction of Lt Col. Harold R. Turner. A parachute attachment brings the device back to earth. Ita record height weed by Infant Changes Bottle Formula; Bubbles Resuli LOS ANGELES, March 21 (U.R Eight-month-old George Robert Logan, who gulped a bottle of shampoo, was still blowing bubbles today. Mrs. May Logan said she found the baby yesterday cov ered from head to foot with soap suds and gurgling happily over the bubbles streaming from his nose and mouth. Her other son, William, 2, proudly held an empty shampoo bottle. George, treated with a stom ach pump, was all right today except for an occasional bubble. Meridian Dam Victory Won Inclusion of a $4,000,000 item for beginning construction on the Meridian Dam across the Middle Fork of the Willamette River above Lowell, in the rivers and harbors bill passed by the Senate, means an initial win by the Ore gon delegation for flood control moneys. "We are very much pleased about it," Sen. Wayne L. Morse has wired friends here, "but I do not want to arouse any false hopes as to final outcome. I think that in alprobability recommendations will be modified to some extent in conference, but am reasonably confident that we will succeed in securing considerably more than the House allowed when it passed the bill." The 360 million dollar bill now returns to the House for approval or disapproval of Senate additions totaling 74 million dollars. Project Called Vital The Meridian allocation was recommended by the Senate after it had been left out of the original House bill. The expensive De cember flood in the Eugene Springfield area resulted in the attempt to push . the $24,000,000 Meridian project at the present time. The project is vital in any control of freshets which plague this central Lane County, area, say flood control exponents. Originally the Middle Fork dam was , planned for Lookout Point, but engineers decided to shift it to the Meridian site, so called because'- the Willamette meridian passes through the axis of the project site 20 miles southeast of Eugene. ' The dam as planned will consist of compacted earth . and gravel (CONTINUED ON PAGE 2) $46,295 Given To Red Cross The hand of the Red Cross fund drive clock climbed higher Thurs day as workers turned in enough money to bring the total to $46,295.

Soars 43 Miles a Rocket) some loo.uoo leei me dpsi achieved by the Signal Corps' weather balloons. Cost of its development was not disclosed. The rocket used a liquid pro pellant of hydro-carbon and oxidizer. It has a supersonic nose, designed to withstand the pressure of speeds greater than sound without damage which, might affect its flight path. ., The Army's code name for the device is the "Wac Cor poral." His Brainchild Father of the rocket is Dr. Frank J. Malijia. Caltech scien-. list and technical director of the institute's jet propulsion labor atory. He guided the develop ment of the project from its be ginning in 1944 to its recent completion, but he disclaims credit individually for it. "The Wac corporal Just grew in the collective scientific mind." he told a reporter. "It involved the efforts of numerous scien tists and Wtineeri.'' . FUND J mm Unsettled Lvlsi"i0Dii Calls 19-Year-0lds Mustered Into Iranian Army TEHRAN. March 21 (AP) Iran's 19-year-olds were summoned to the colors today in the wake of reports that three Iranian army garrisons were under attack by Kurdish tribesmen in the isolated region near' the border ot Iraq. . . " - At the sumo time, leaders of Iran's leftist Tudeh Parly were called into .private session and Tightest elements expressed be lief the Tudeh Party might lead leftist demonstrations against the government because of its appeal to the United Nations Security Council against continued pres ence pf Russian troops in Iran. Coup Seen Possible (In Baghdad, a former Iraq dip lomat declared Tuesday upon re turning from Tehran that the Tudeh Party could stage a coup d'etat at any time. He added: "The great fear in Iran today is that if the Iranians officially an nounce that they will take the matter to the UNO, then the Com munists will be given the word to strike.") Rightist Deputy Said Zia Ed Din, described by political writers as anti-Russian, and generally known as a leading opponent of Premier Ahmed Quavam Es Sal taneh, was taken into custody yes terday by two men in the uniform of Iranian army colonels. Zia Ed-Din told newsmen: I think they are arresting me be cause I am not liked by the Rus sians." He said in an Interview Tuesday that "Iran's only hope lies with the UNO.'5,i i : Charges Not Named Prince Fil'ouz, director of propa ganda and political undersecretary of state, said the deputy was "put under preventive detention pend ing investigation of certain charges" on orders of Premier Ahmed Quavam. ' The army, in anonuncing the conscription of 19-year-olds, said men in the 22 to 25 year, age bracket were being deferred. (In Washington, the Iranian Embassy said the army normally consists of men 20 to 22 years old in training, with those over 22 moving into reserve classes. It said 19-year-olds normally were not given training.) An Iranian general staff officer said heavy snows prevented rein forcement of the three garrisons besieged by Kurds in the north west, but,, he added, seven Iranian planes were trying to keep the garrisons from being cut off from divisional headquarters. He said 3000 tribesmen were en gaged in the attacks against the garrisons at Sardasht, Baneh arid Saqqiz, while "loyal" Kurds had engaged "Democrats" of self-proclaimed autonomous Azerbaijan Province, whicli is occupied by Russian troops. UNRRA Told India's Needs ATLANTIC CITY, March 21 Pierre Schnclter, French Un dersecretary of State, told the UNRRA council today that French purchase of wheat and barley from Russia would help relieve grain shortages elsewhere in the world. He declared that France had notified the combined food board of the transaction, with a request for a corresponding reduction 500,000 Ions in the board's 2,800, 000 allocation to the French for the first half of Ihis year. 4 (The combined food board, com posed of representatives of Can ada, the United States and Brit ain allocates supplies available in this country and Canada.) India warned that five to 15 millions of her population may die in coming months. "We in India are faced with famine,"'Sir Girja Shanker Bajpal, agent general for India at Wash ington, told delegates from 47 na tions to UNRRA's council here. "The angel of death is flutter ing its wings within the uneasy hearing of 125.000,000 people in India," he cried. Carpenters Receive .

'Mac' Orders Firing Squad For Hornma TOKYO, March 21 VP) Gen eral MacArthur today decreed a firing-squad death for Lt. Gen." Mashaharu Homma, his victorious foe in the 1942 battle for Bataan, and disagreed sharply with two U. S. Supreme Court justice dis senters one of whom had term ed the sentence vengeance rather than justice. Date and details of the execu tion, which now could be stayed only by President Truman, will be determined in Manila. Deserves Fate Affirming the Manila court mar tial conviction. of Homma, who or dered the infamous Bataan death march that cost 17,200 lives, Mac Arthur asserted: "If this defendant does not de serve his "Judicial fate, none in jurisdictional history ever did." Before announcing his decision, MacArthur studied opinions ex pressed by Supreme Court Justices Murphy and Rutledge, who dis sented when the court refused to intervene for Homma. Murphy had denounced Homma's trial as a descent "to the level of revenge ful blood purges. Japanese Approve Wataru Narahashi, chief cabinet secretary, said he and the Japa nese people agreed as to the jus tice of MacArthur's decision. ' The supreme allied commander in the Pacific said he could find "no circumstances of extenuation." Realty Board DenouncesOPA Eugeneans kicked another dent Into the much - attacked OPA Thursday., when the Realty Board passed an official resolution ask ing for Its complete scrapping. - "The burning question is: shall We perpetuate , OPA and destroy America or shall we perpetuate America and destroy OPA," the realtors declared. "Vfe call for an end to' wartime controls," the resolution began. "The whole of America should join in terminating agencies which are retarding recovery, blocking solutions to housing problems, paralyzing production; hastening inflation and leading to the speedy destruction of the system of, free enterprise and imposition of regimental economy upon our people." Propaganda Charged Planned economy propagandists are deliberately exploiting the public's fear of inflation to en trench themselves in power and to advance their own revolution program, the document charges. "As an observing community group in this capital of the lum ber industry," it continues, "we have seen, as a result of wartime controls in this industry alone, bureaucratic insanities which aug ment the black market scanda lously, which drive lumber out of America and Into the foreign market, which tie up and dis mantle lumber machinery in cer tain mills. Then, in emergency, they call for the creation and in stallation of identical machinery elsewhere at doubled cost of pro duction and price to consumers." The lath industry is cited.
