Or., annJir, July 1M OPA Decontrol Board Named - (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) treli over million! of ltemi be tween now and June 30, 1047. The board's first decision, to be taken before Aug. 21, will be whether meat, grain dairy prod ucts, cotton seed and soybeans shduld be kept control-free. If the board takes no action, controls are automatically restored on Aug. 21. The board must make a similar decision on poultry, eggs and pe troleum. But controls cannot be restored on these items, even after Aug. 21, unless the board specifi cally authorizes it. Mr. Truman announced his de control board appointees as Por ter reaffirmed his pledge to hold the price line as "close as possi ble to June 30 levels but warned that many significant increases were inevitable. Boosts Required The first of those boosts re quired -by the law that revived OPA Thursday after 25 days of free economy take effect in the coming week. Porter's aides, working overtime Saturday, put finishing touches on higher ceilings for coffee (up six to seven cents a pound), new cars ($100 or more), and farm machin ery (at least five per cent more.) The coffee boost, reflecting the end of coffee subsidies, will prob ably come Monday or Tuesday, tho others by midweek.

For Frleea and Information Write to Benny's Easter Lily Gardens Dlsston Route, Cottase Grove increases on textiles, clothing, and consumer durable goods. Foods made from control-free grain were also to get prompt in creases. 'Bill Can Be Workable' Porter said the new extension act, restoring OPA until June 30, 1947, was not all he had' hoped for, or all thousands of business men and -millions of families wanted. But he said it could be made to work, with co-operation from all Americans. Porter said some provisions of the bill Including one assuring manufacturers their 1940 prices (on an industry wide basis) plus cost increases since then mean higher costs to the consumer on many important items. Textile and clothing prices will be especially hard to keep at rea sonable levels, he said, since prices must reflect the ceiling-free cost of cotton.

Speedy Work Prevented A New Tillamook Burn Story of Big Creek Firefighting Is Told Oregon escaped another "Tilla mook Burn" in the last week, Ray Oglesby, district warden for the Western Lane Fire Patrol, said Saturday. Prompt, efficient co operation among private and pub lic control agencies made the recent fire in the Big Creek area of the Gardiner Lumber Co. one "fire that didn't get away," said Oglesby. He had taken a 30-man crew to battle the blaze. There was an extreme hazard in this 345-acre fire, he said, be cause the area is difficult to move about in and is in the center of 27,800 acres of the 1938 Smith River Burn. The flames easily could have leaped out of control and devoured thousands of acres Margarine was first made by a French chemist In 1870. REO.

Peace Parley Opens Monday (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) drafted the treaties encourage, either openly or secretly, sugges tions by the smaller nations, whether they agree later to incor porate such recommendations Into the treaties, and whether they might Increase the conferences scope by asking other nations to come. Once organizational matters and opening speeches are out of the way, the conference will tackle technical questions left to It by the Big Four foreign ministers such as freedom of navigation on the Danube, compensation to allied nationals for property damage in Italy and the Balkans, Bulgarian reparations to Greece and Yugo slavia, and the amount of repara tions to be allotted to France. French informants said they ex pect at least 12 plenary sessions, and that these will be long due to presentation of each speech in three languages, English, French, and Russian.

The fire crews and equipment of the Western Lane Fire Patrol, the Douglas County Fire Protec tive Assn., the Coos Bay Lumber Co., the E. K. Wood Lumber Co., Crown-Zellerbach and a state forestry "crew rolled into action promptly. An average of 200 men a day battled the blaze for three days. It was brought under con trol last Sunday, but only on Fri day did Oglesby feel that the dan ger had entirely passed. Clyde Anderson, logging super intendent of the Gardiner Co., di rected operations and equipment. Men were dispersed in first and second lines of defense. Equipment on the operation in eluded seven tank trucks, of BOO to 2000 .gallons capacity, with three relay trucks to supply them with water, five cats, a road grader, eight portable hand pumps and four power saws, as well as hand seta. Handling of mags presented problem, because the fire went over a. divide and the fire line was below? Snags sawed off above would have slid down into un burned timber, carrying flames with them. The problem was solved when two Gardiner Co. high climbers went up the snags with hose and doused the fires on surrounding' snags. Eastern Patrol Helped Co-operation was extended In another way when Jake Smith, district warden of the Eastern Lane, Fire Patrol, protected West ern Lane territory while the Western Lane crew was away. He sent a 10-man crew to take care of a fire on Nelson Creek in the Triangle Lake region. The U. S. Forest Service crew at Mapleton also was standing by, ready to aid if needed. Western Lane had a 30-man crew at the Gardiner fire, the state sent 20 men, the Douglas pa trol had 40 to 50 men, and alto gether the Gardiner Co. had 150. The fire was in a salvage op eration on land eight miles northeast of Scottsburg. Ogles by said It destroyed approxi mately 5,000,000 feet of sawed and bucked Umber. There may still be a recovery of about 500,000 feet. Negro Murders Arouse Senate WASHINGTON U.PJ A brief but angry debate on race rela tions was touched off in the Sen ate Saturday when Sen. William F. Knowland (R-Calif) deprecat ed the lynching of four Negroes near Monroe, Ga. Knowland, urging Georgia state authorities and the Justice De partment to take all possible ac tion to bring the lynch mob to justice, announced he was insert ing in the Congressional Record a news dispatch about the lynch ing. As he finished his remarks, a group of Southern Senators .rose to protest what they called an at tempt by Knowland to "ridicule" the state of Georgia. Sen. Richard V. Russell (D-Ga) said "there is something political" about crimes Involving Negroes and white persons. He said that If the California senator persisted m introducing accounts of southern crimes into the Senate, he would be forced to do likewise with re spect to murders in California. Knowland replied that he would be the first to protest simi lar crimes if they occurred in his state. Sen. Olin D. Johnston (D-S C) then said Knowland had violated Senate rules by reflecting on the integrity of another state. The Senate, Johnston said, per haps should give some attention "to some of the things that happen in Hollywood." Sen. William Langer (R-N D) asked assurances from Knowland that the newspaper account did not reflect on Governor-Elect Gene Talmadge of Georgia who, he added, was not in the state when the criirfe occurred. Knowland concluded the flurry of debate with the observation that no senator "should remain Up and Down and Up Goes the Temperature Eugeneans went back to mop ping their brows again Saturday as the mercury shot up to 93 de grees between 3:30 and 4 p.m. Friday's high of 70 degrees proved silent when a mob of armed people murders in cold blood." 8 offer only,.

The Republican committee Sat urday night endorsed George A. Stock for the vacant position. In a letter to the County Court the committee stated: "Mr. Stock's many years ex perience as a businessman and accountant, plus eight years as auditor and purchasing- agent for the Lane County Road De partment amply qualify him for the position as county as sessor." Bryan came out of the army as a lieutenant colonel and will re turn for reassignment at that rank. During the war he was staff quartermaster for the Army Air Forces training command and supervisor of supply and director of food service. He wound up as director of supply and mainten ance of the 7th Fighter Command at Saipan. The date of his departure for Washington is uncertain. Mrs. Bryan will go to Washington as soon as housing can be arranged.
