Not Many Downtown There were few people in the downtown district Saturday aft ernoon, for many residents pre ferred the cool of their homes and garden-hoses to Willamette St. heat One fountain owner, whose customers largely are local merchants, reported four, of the usual 40, loaves of bread were sold as sandwiches, even though the number of customers re mained about the same. "They all wanted drinks," he explained. There b an old Chine In struction to warm the stomach In hot weather and cool It in cold. Few customers bettered that But there were some who fol lowed the path pointed by the Chinese. A -waitress reported six cups of coffee sold Saturday be tween 3 and 6 p.m. At other fountains and restau rants, waitresses and soda-jerks paused long enough in their head long flights to sigh but refused to estimate the number of cold drinks sold. Then they balanced their trays of drinks and started on the run.

The benches sag ged, their legs trembled, but they held up a good many Eugeneans. Sales of popcorn at local stands dropped to less than one-third of the normal. Ice cream soared over the top on sales. One ice cream parlor estimated there were more sales Saturday than the aggregate of any five days previously. Saturday afternoon's edition of the Register-Guard was delayed 30 minute by heat Rubber roll ers, used for inking stereotyped plates on the press, melted in the combination of extreme beat and friction. Pressmen replaced the rollers and cleaned up melted rubber which spread "like mo lasses" through the machinery. Most Eugeneans decried the ex. cessive heat. But there is always a dissenter: "At Ust b Oregon, tt get bet enough to make the Pxtfle Northwest people realise that weather, when H gets warn enough or eotd eooagh, is the most important thing in the world," said a tranapl anted Iowaa. "Let's hare axorer be begged. Despite the heat however, there were no reported eases of neat prostration. Salads became popular with heat-minded lunchen. One wait ress summed it up, "It's been a mad scramble between the lettuce ; grower and the customer all day."

Breaking down the estimated first grade enrollment of 650, the 6-year-olds will be divided among the schools like this: Frances Wil lard 100. Condon 75, Edison 80, Washington 40, Whiteaker 60, Lin coin 100, Dunn 30, Garden Way 3, Mag la dry 27. River Road 80, WUlakenrle IS and Santa Oars 30. 32M in the Grade An estimated 3300 children win attend elementary schools here this fall. Increases over last year probably will run something like this: Second graders, 25, third graders, 30, fourth 10, fifth 30 and sixth 40. There win be about 1325 stu dents in Junior high schools and about 1475 in senior high schools. These estimates probably are as close as anyone can make now, two months before the opening of school. 1000 to"Attend U.O. In 2d Summer Term More than 1000 students are ex pected to register for the second term of the University of Oregon summer session. Dr. Eldon L. Johnson, acting director, said Sat urday. Plans are being made to con duct the second session on a full scale basis, he explained. Thirty three new courses have been add ed to the curriculum, and five new staff members will help handle the overload. A full activ ities program has also been sche duled. To accommodate the unprece dented numbers of students for the second term, registration has already been opened. Materials were made available July 17, in stead of July 24 as originally planned. Students may obtain registration cards from the sum mer session offices in Oregon hall. P-rTRndings ' Vindicate FDR (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) C. Marshall, 1941 Army chief of staff, or Adm. Harold R. Stark, who was chief of naval operations. But Ferguson and Brewster named both. They declared: 'The failure to perform the re sponsibilities indispensably es sential to the defense of Pearl Harbor rests upon the following civil and military authorities: "Franklin D- Roosevelt Presi dent of the United States and com mander in chief of the Army and Navy. "Henry L. Stimson secretary of war. "Frank Knox secretary of the Navy. "George C. Marshall general, chief of staff of the Army. "Harold R. Stark admiral, chief of naval operations. "Leonard T. Gerow major general, assistant chief of staff of War Plans Division." Klmmel, Short Blamed Both the majority and minority reports agreed that Adm. Husband E. Klmmel and U. Gen. Walter C. Short, Navy and Army Command ers In Hawaii, had not measured up to the responsibilities given them. Their commands were acknowl edged not to have been on an all out alert when Japanese bombers, winging from carriers at sea, roared over the Hawaiian base early Sunday, Dec. 7, 1941, knock ed out eight battleships and 10 lesser craft of the Pacific fleet and killed 3435 Americans. The majority reported, however, that "the errors made by the Hawaiian commands were errors of Judgment and not derelictions of duty." Thus it rejected a find ing of "dereliction of duty" made by a presidential commission, headed by then Supreme Court Justice Owen J. Roberts, which conducted an investigation in the weeks immediately after the dis aster. The majority, in their conclu sions, named no names of mili tary men in Washington who in their opinion fell short in per formance.

The average price per acre ef cultivated farm land rose from 1106.10 in 1941 to $189.84 in 1946, reports of the bureau show. Pas ture land more than doubled in value during the same period of time, going from 114.34 to $30.13. Speculation In farm lands is In dicated in the report by the num ber of cases in which farm lands were resold within a two year period. Thia figure rose from 23 in 1942 to 96 In 1945. The average selling price was from 31 to 60 per cent higher than the purchas ing price on these transactions the report snows. Figures of the report also show sale of farm land in Lane County rose to a peak in 1944 and has gradually slacked off since that time. Prices per sere however have showed consistent steady fains since 1941. Eugene realtors reported Satur day that sale ef farm land was not alackening In the Eugene area except for the larger farms, al though even on the larger tracts of land the lessening demand had not forced a reduction in land prices yet "As far as the general trend in the last 90 days is con cerned,' Earl Chapman, Oregon Settlement association, s s i d, "larger farm sales are dropping off. Smaller farms, up to 50cres, are still selling readily. The price per acre on all farm land is hold ing steady." the Ferguson-Brewster report, headed Army war plans and Brig. Gen. Sherman Miles headed Army intelligence. Rear Adm. R. Kelly Turner was head of Navy war plans and Rear Adm. Theodore S. Wilkinson was head of naval in telligence. T Conferees Hit Compromise (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) tobacco, leaf tobacco, and eggs from price controls. To Cheek Food Price Taft told reporters that the de control board, to be appointed by the President with confirmation k hm ummm mtiet rive nriority to consideration of removing price controls on meat, mux ana other vital foods. He made clear that the board will be expected to study those -si,t- immriiatlv. and that the items will be continued under control only if tne ooara raas that: 1.
