Report from Medford Thursday laid that representatives of the West Coast Lumbermen's Assn named the railroad car shortage as the number one bottleneck now facing lumber production. Chris Krelenbaum, WCLA president and H., V.. Simpson, executive vice-president, told lumbermen there that under OPA the mills were forced to produce rough lumber "In order to survive" and that there resulted a shortage of the. finished product which now is holding up production of much needed cars. . So far as could be learned Thursday, no lumber mills in this vicinity had actually closed down because of the shortage, but it was understood to be a matter only of a few days. Long-Bell's Vaughn division had stacked up more than three million board feet on nearly every available inch of space and antlcplated shutdown within the next few days unless cars were forthcoming. Many of the county's smaller mills are in the same critical condition.

Von Hickman, district agent for the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company recently re turned from the company's con vention held In Milwaukee, Wis., where he was honored as the larg est volume producer for the year 1945 and for placing second in the Pacemaker's contest for thj year 1846. that the rules committee had ap proved by a vote of 15 to 6 the procedure permitting the confer ence to pass on matters by either a simple or two-thirds majority. Russia has contended throughout for a two-thirds rule. "Peace Is the Object" Alexander said the committee "came to their decision by a ra tio of five to two or more than the ratio of two to one wanted by Mr, Molotov. He is merely taking unnecessary time for long and tedious repetition of what already has been said and published to the world. The world want to get on with the peace." U.S. Secretary of State Byrnes was scheduled to reply to Molotov as the conference adjourned to reconvene Friday. Also scheduled to speak were the representatives of the Ukraine and White Russia. Molotov renewed his attack on the press, asserting he had read in Paris papers an interpretation of the rules committee decision which said, "The western powers have won the upper hand over the USSR." "A Grave Mistake" "The Soviet Union believes that it is not the purpose of the peace conference that one or another power or blocs of power should win the upper hand over the USSR or any other power," he said. The action of the rules commit tee, he said, had "nullified" the proposal of the Council of Foreign Ministers and wj; a "grave mis take." Molotov declared anyone who expected a recommendation back ed by only a simple majority to have any importance would be "greatly disappointed" and em phasized that the decisions of the peace conference were not of an "obligatory nature" to the Foreign Ministers Council.

Murder Case Near Solution SPOKANE, Wash. U. Police neared solution Thursday of the mysterious slaying of Dr. Ru dolph A. Hahn, 81-year-old con victed abortionist who was found dead in his apartment of five stab wounds inflicted with a French bayonet. Prosecuting Attorney Leslie M. Carroll said that several persons were under suspicion and that an arrest might be made this week. He said he was certain the mur riir had been "planned." Dr. Hahn was found in his hotel Tuesday night amid signs of a "terrific struggle." Despite the fact that a diamond stickpin and money were missing, police he. lieved that the slaying was com mitted in revenge for one of the doctor's illegal operations rather than for robbery. Rudolph T. Hahn, son of the dead man, told police that ha saw a man leaving his father s apart ment just before he entered and discovered the body. Several times during his long career, Hahn had been accused of performing abortions. He always won acquittal, however, until June, 1945, when he was con victed on two counts of abortion and granted probation because of his age and poor health. Judge E. ,W. Schwellenbach, brother of the labor secretary, said at the time that "seldom has anyone stood before me less de serving of clemency." Hahn was forced to discontinue entirely his practice of electrotherapy. Hahn, noted for gay parties in his 26-room Swiss chalet and his love of expensive dogs, horses, boats, automobiles and women, had a stormy matrimonial career. He . married his second wife, Sylvia, 32 years his junior, in 1917. They were divorced in 1932, and remarried in 1934. In 1940, she was found dead with a bullet through her head. Hahn was held for questioning, but a coroner's jury returned ' a verdict of suicide. Cattle are more susceptible to lead poisoning than other animals.
