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.

Irate Officers'
Wives Confront
'The Old Man'
TOKYO () Eight angry
U. S. Army wives called on the
colonel Wednesday and com
plained about living conditions
at their quonset hut village.
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

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

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.

In front of the bank, walked in

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

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.

problems and goals of the future
at the weeklv luncheon meatlntf

Dr. Raver pointed out that ex

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

Yugoslavia acknowledged
Wednesday the shooting down
in flames of a U. S. Army trans

ready to put its case squarely up
to cockily defensive Marshal
Tito. ,
Secretary of State James F.

he had summoned Edward Kar

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."

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.
The charter amendment would
provide a city manager type of
government and establish a one
mill levy to begin July 1, 1947.
Also included in the resolution
was a proposal to hire an engi
neer Jan. 1. He would be paid
by the projects completed. At the '
present time the city has no of
ficial city engineer although John
Qulner ot Eugene has been doing
engineering work on an hourly
pay basis.
The council tabled a petition
from property owners on Main St.
between Sixth and Seventh, who
requested improvements of the
alley adjoining their property. The
measure was tabled because' the
council could not determine what
type of construction was desired.
Speed Cheek Called
In an attempt to regulate the
speed of emergency vehicles
passing through Springfield the
council Instructed the police chief
to warn ambulance companies
and other emergency vehicle op
erators that "unless speed of
these vehicles Is greatly reduced"
it will become necessary for the,
city to pass a restricting ordi
nance. Councilmen . maintained
that while it Is necessary to make
all possible speed to an accident,
ft also is equally necessary to ob
serve safety precautions en route.
Ordinance 868 to control the
dumping of garbage and setting
fees for the use of the city dump
was adopted.
A special election, to be held
in conjunction with the Novem
ber general elections, was ordered
