Sept. 9, 'Recontrol' Date WASHINGTON () New retail price ceilings on all meats will become effective Sept. 9, OPA Administrator Paul Porter announced Wednesday. Porter reiterated at a news conference that these ceilings will be "at or near" June 30 maximum prices. He said OPA and the Agricul ture Department are working out the ceilings to.be reinvoked, as .ordered by the Price Decon trol Board. ... On live animals, ceilings to be announced soon will be ef fective Aug. 29. Packers' ceil ings will become effective Sept. 1, while wholesale ceilings will go into effect Sept. 5. that supplies of all those commod ities are adequate and prices have not risen unreasonably since June 30. It emphasized, however, that ceilings may be restored later on any or all of the exempted pro ducts if undue price rises occur or shortages develop. The three man board announced its i ecisions at p.m. (EST) after nine days of hearings and deliber ation of the food supply situation. Control over meat, soy beans and cottonseed was necessary, the board said, because of "unreason able" price increases and short ages since June 30. Objections Overruled It overrode objections, of cattle men and packing industry repre sentatives who said restoration of livestock ceilings would surrender the meat supply to black market eers and .barnyard slaughterers and bring about a return of meat less days. ..... The board concluded that price ceilings on meat, as well as the other re-controlled products not only are practicable but can be enforced by. OPA. Its ruling was issued under a mandate from Congress which directed in enacting the new OPA law that livestock, grains, dairy products, cottonseed and soybeans were to be brought under control automatically on Aug. 21 unless the board directed otherwise.

The wives said during their two months in Japan they had been without plumbing, screen doors, mattresses or carpets be cause they understood they would have to live there only until permanent units were finished. Then what happens but the Army newspaper Stars and Stripes states that dependents arriving in September would go into the new housing units and they would stay in their quon set huts. So they say they are "tired of having rank pulled on our hus bands" who are all captains or lower grade, and off they go to call on Col. R. P. Thompson, ex ecutive officer for the head quarters and service group. Thompson heard their beef in . private and "it was not a very happy meeting," said Mrs. Ruth Williams, formerly of San An tonio, Tex. Polio Outbreak 'Nearing Peak' WASHINGTON UP) The U.S. Public Health Service said Wed nesday there are indications that the nations current major out break of infantile paralysis is "approaching the peak." The number of new cases still is rising, with the latest cumulat ive figures for the year totalling 8849, compared with 6262 for a comparable period in 1944, second worst polio year In Health Service records. But a Health Service statistician authorized to speak for the service told a reporter that for the past two weeks there has been a de cline in the rate of increase. Gen. McNarney Hits Statements By La Guardia BERLIN W Gen. Joseph T. McNarney Wednesday accused UNRRA Director General Fiorello La Guardia of making "complete ly baseless" allegations that American occupation forces had deliberately opposed humanita rian and repatriation aims of UNRRA. La Guardia left here Wednes day for Warsaw to continue his inspection tour of UNRRA's Eu ropean activities. In an unprecedentedly blunt statement, the usually reticent McNarney categorically denied a charge which he attributed to La Guardia that the Arniy was op posing UNRRA s aims. The statement by the com mander of U. S. forces in Europe came as a complete surprise, since he and La Guardia had dinner together Tuesday night just after the UNRRA director had said at a news conference that "from now on he expected UNRRA to work hand in glove with the American and British armies. McNarney's statement, which was one of the longest he has is sued since assuming his post in Germany, also disclosed that one Russian secret agent had been known to operate "under the cloak of UNRRA." Commenting on published re ports, attributed to an unidenti fied British general, that UNRRA was being used as an umbrella covering widespread activity of Russian secret agents, McNarney said: "We know of very Tew cases of agents of any type who operated under the cloak of UNRRA. . Of these, only one has been positive ly identified as an NKVD spy.' McNarney said he issued the statement to "clarify the entire situation" because of "stories at tacking the integrity and good faith of the U. S. military forces in Germany which have recently come out of the UNHKA council meeting in Geneva." He said that La Guardia had made a "baseless and incorrect" charge at the meeting that the U. S. Army in Germany opposes continuation of UNHKA in eon nection with the care and repatrl ation of displaced persons. The former New York mayor also alleged incorrectly that the American Army had "sneared" at attempts " by U. S. government to assist in the repatriation ot displaced Poles by promising Poles who returned to their homes a 60 to 90 day food ration, Mc Narney said. Store Employe Admits Theft Tamae PrKmnn Smith. 29. em ploye of Brighter Homes Store in Eugene, was in county jail Wed nocHav mi charges of burelarv not in a dwelling, after formally con fessing to the tneit oi more man $1000 worth of equipment from the store, according to city police. All equipment has been recov ered. Smith was arraigned in justice mii WoHnpeHav mornine. He waived preliminary hearing and was bound over to tne grana jury on $2500 bail. Smith rnnfassed lo Dolice that he took the equipment, including. a compressor ana paint spray, from a garage on Eighth Ave.' E., used by the store as a warehouse. Ho tnirl notice he left the equip ment at the home of his wife's uncle in Marcola, but that he told the Marcola man he had bor rowed the equipment irom me store. ... Police recovered the equipment from Marcola Tuesday. Black Market Drive Nets 2 N. M. Bershon, 1018 Almaden St., was arrested at the sheriff's office by the United States mar shal Wednesday as a part of the drive on black market operations in Oregon. He is charged with selling nails for $25 a keg when the OPA ceiling ranges from $5.90 to $7.70. Bershon's arrest is the second in a week in Eugene for black market operations. Last Friday Vadrian Hayes, 3948 Highway 99 South, owner of an automobile concern, was arrested on a charge of selling merchandise above ceil ing price.

Bicycle Bandit Rides Again SASEBO, Japan (P) Strik ing in wild west style, Sasebo's bicycle bandit held up another branch bank Monday and es caped with 130,000 yen. The bandit parked his bicycle In front of the bank, walked in brandishing a pistol, pumped one shot into the manager and another into the ceiling to frighten customers, and dipped into the till. Then he ran from the bank, leaped onto his bicycle, and pumped briskly away. The branch manager, shot in the side, was in a critical condition. Retail Lumber Supply Eased The retail lumber situation in Eugene was reported eased con siderably this week as the short age of railroad cars continued and lumber piled up in local yards. Retail dealers and builders re ported that common dimension material has become much more readily available, and even Grade 1 boards can be bought. Finished products, however, such as sid ing and flooring, still are on the much-sought list, and dealers said these are being shipped out in the few available cars. Report from the Southern Pa cific freight office Indicated "no material change" In the car situation and little hope for any alleviation In the near fu ture. Some mills are shutting down for a day or two at a time or laying off night shifts. All are using every available Inch of storage space. One reason for the dearth of finished materials apparently lay in the difficulty of obtaining the essential dried lumber needed for their manufacture. Such lumber must be either air- or kiln-dried, a process which adds materially to the cost of production; one builder suggested that government pricing policies make it unprofitable to add this expense when green lum ber can be disposed of readily and with a better profit margin. Cedar for shakes, shingles and siding is becoming very scarce. These same Chinese Reds Establish Own Manchu Regime NANKING (A) China's Com munists announced Wednesday establishment of their own gov ernment of Manchuria, and said they would not discuss participat ing in any coalition government of China until all of the current fighting is stopped. Some informed quarters here said that establishment of such a coalition had become "the last hope" of mediators seeking a per manent peace. Communist spokesmen denied that- their party was calling for all-out mobilization a g a in s t Chiang Kai-Shek's forces, and said they "have no desire" to over throw his national government which is strictly a one-party re gime now. But they added: "The first thing is to stop fight ing. Then we can talk about re organizing the government." Some' observers here said that General Marshall and Ambassador John Leighton Stuart, having failed to stop the shooting first and talk politics later, now were trying to reach a political accord first. Chiang Asks 'Terms' Chiang, these sources said, had asked Marshall to request a list of ministries which Communists would demand in any coalition government. There was no report that It was operating directly under Ye nan, the Communist capital, but its avowed goals were similar to those of the Yennn government. (CONTINUED ON PAGE 2) Fall Creek Man in Crash MOLINE, 111. (P) Pilot Cap tain James Steen and Co-Pilot Marvin Fox of a chartered plane were killed and 10 passengers were injured, none seriously, early Wednesday when the craft crashed a mile south of the Moline airport while attempting to make an emergency landing. Among those aboard the plane was Richard Crow, Fall Creek, Ore. The two crew members were thrown out of the plane. Steen was instantly killed and Fox died shortly after being taken to Mo line Public Hospital. Passengers said one of the plane's two engines caught fire about 50 miles from Moline and that the pilot shut it off and head ed for the airport.

Bean Growers Call For More Pickers About 250 additional bean pickers are needed badly imme diately, W. H. Atkinson, farm la bor assistant, announced Wednes day. The hot weather has caused the bean crop to mature very rap idly, Atkinson said, and many growers are falling behind in their picking. Atkinson urged that any pick ers who receive temporary layoffs from their bean yards within the next few days, report to the farm labor office for assignment to seme other yard. Pickers may come directly lo the Irish-Swortz parking lot by 7 a.m. any day for transportation lo the yards. Weather V. S. Weather Bureau Forecast: Eugene and vicinity Fair today and Thursday.

Note to Moscow Opposes Demand For Straits Control Relations With USSR and Satellites Clouded; Tito Says Peace Wanted 3ut 'Not at Any Price' WASHINGTON (AP) In an historic claim to direct interest in Black Sea affairs, the United States Wednesday formally declared its outright opposition to Russian demands for a sSare in military control of the Dardanelles. The American note to Moscow was one of the two fac-' tors that sent relations between the United States and coun tries within the Soviet orbit plummeting to a new postwar low. The other was this country's angry protest to Yugoslavia over the "outrageous performance" of Yugoslav fighter crait which attacked and forced an American transport plane to crash land. Premier Marshal Tito retorted that his country wants peace "but not at any price." Bearing the signature of Under secretary of State Dean Acheson, the Dardanelles note expressed the "firm opinion of this government that Turkey should continue to be primarily responsible for the de fense of the straits." Cites UN's Role Pointedly, it noted that the Rus sian proposal contained no refer ence to the United Nations a Byrnes Sees Yugoslav By UNITED PRESS Yugoslavia acknowledged Wednesday the shooting down in flames of a U. S. Army trans port Monday, indicating that three, crewmen were killed, and the' American government got ready to put its case squarely up to cockily defensive Marshal Tito. , Secretary of State James F. Byrnes announced in Paris that he had summoned Edward Kar delj, peace conference delegate and vice premier of Yugoslavia, to his suite at the hotel Meurice Tuesday. Byrnes "talked frank ly to him about the situation in Yugoslavia." clearcut reminder that an Inter national organization has been set up to handle all such security problems. "Should the straits become the object of attack or threat of an at tack by an aggressor," the note de clared, "the resulting situation would constitute a threat to Inter national security and would clear. ly be a matter for action on the part of the Security Council of the United Nations." Asserting that this government holds that the "regime of the straits" should "function In a manner entirely consistent with the principles and aims of the United Nations," Acheson reaf firmed United States willingness to participate in any conference to revise the control policies. . But he made it abundantly clear even within the confines of polite diplomatic phraseology that the United States would not sit idly by in any Soviet effort to establish herself in a favored, if not dominant position in the straits. "It is the view of this govern ment," Acheson said In his note, "that the regime of the straits is a matter of concern not only to the Black Sea -powers, but also to other powers, including the Unit ed States. "This government cannot, there fore, agree with the Soviet view that the establishment of the re gime of the straits should come under the competence of the Black Sea powers to the exclusion of other powers." (CONTINUED ON PAGE 2) Manager Plan Goes on Ballot SPRINGFIELD The city man ager plan fc this city was placed on the November ballot officially by the City . Council Tuesday night when a resolution to amend the city charter was adopted.
