Ralph E. Dean, city passenger and freight agent for the Southern Pacific, said Monday it was pos sible that several freight trains might be tied up here if the strike were not averted because Eugene is a railroad terminal and he thought the engineers would take a train to a terminal. He said the Cascade and Beaver, I passenger trains due out of Port land at 4:50 and 5 p. m. respec tively, probably would be held in the northern city until strike de velopments were known. The only northbound passenger train due here before the strike deadline is the Klamath, to arrive at 5:40 p.m. Dean guessed that the Kla math would leave Eugene before the 6 p. m. strike deadline called by the engineers and would con tinue to Portland. Edgar C. Ordway, district freight agent for the Southern Pa cific, said if the strike is called all rail shipment of lumber will be stopped Monday night He said the majority of lumber from this area is shipped by rail and that approximately 400 cars of lumber are shipped per day in the area from Albany to Roseburg. He felt that many of the lumber mills, if their yards were full, would have to close very soon. Edgar Martin, general manager of the Booth-Kelly Lumber Co. supported Ordway's statements. He said he doubted Booth-Kelly could continue to operate for an other two weeks if the strike oc cured because of lack of storage space for lumber. He asserted that smaller lumber mills probably could not last that long because of limited facilities for storage. Perishable foods and agricul tural would not be in such a seri ous plight as lumber but possibly could be seriously affected if the proposed strike should last for Director Horace Robinson said; more than ten days, according to Monday that good seats still arejE.

Sally Ann had never walked before. "I just asked God and the Blessed Mother to help me and gradually I started to walk, the little girl told her dad. The plane had just brought her back from the famous shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes in France. She was one of a group making the first airborne pilgrimage from the United States.

The fire in the residential dis trictat first believed to have spread from the burning mill appeared to be a separate blaze which broke out at the same time, and spread over dry grass. Res idents in the southeast section were spraying with garden hose. B-29'S PLAN HOP WASHINGTON U.K Gen. George C. Kenney, commander of the U.

(U.fS The United States agreed Mon day to a Soviet-endorsed plan for a system of quotas doling out to each nation its share of th world's atomic materials and facilities. Frederick H. Osborn of the United States told members of the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission that . such a quota system written into the proposed world atomic energy ' control treaty would help make atomic control more acceptable to all na tions. Soviet Delegate Andrei Gram yko proposed the quota system last week, but he advocated a separate treaty which would list each country s share of atomic fuel and plants as well as quotas on the speed with which nations may mine their deposits of uran ium and thorium, the atomic ores. The dovetailing of American and Russian views on the ques tion of quotas was considered im portant progress in the hard task four-motored Argentine Army of working out international atomic transport crashed into a crowd of control, but there still were many spectators while trying to take big gaps between the majority and off for an Air Force show at the , the Soviet Union.

Human aa developments which mean that "inflationary problems; may become stronger." Terming price reductions still necessary in many areas, the Pres ident said they must not be swamped in J wave of speculation caused by the forecast of a short corn crop or by a wave of new wage and price boosts pegged to John L. Lewis' coal contract set tlement. Mr. Truman said there are as yet "no grounds for real alarm nor for general speculative increases in food prices" arising from the forecast of a corn harvest 20 per cent below last year's. But in the event real shortages should de velop, the report recommended: 1. Full publicity as to the true farm outlook, perhaps including a campaign for "strict economy" in the use of some foods. t. Quick plannlnr for conserva tion, through export controls and possibly by renewing the govern ment's recently lapsed power to control the amount of grain used by distillers and other processors. Mr. Truman renewed his plea of ten days , ago that coal, steel and other industries forego im mediate) price increase until they test tha real costs of tha wage boost won by Lewis miners. s Warns of Result "Stability In steel prices would be a wise economic policy for this industry as well as for the coun try," the President declared, whereas increases based on guesses and an "exaggerated Interpreta tion" could "start another price wage spiral in motion." "Another general surge of price inflation would have only one re sultthe sharp recession which It is 'to everyone's interest to pre vent," Mr. Truman said. He added that price cuts and boosts in substandard pay rales are still needed as he said they were when the first economic re port was made in January but that meanwhile corporation prof its have gone on to new record heights. "It Is evident,' the chief ex ecutive asserted, "that In many eases business profits are more than adequate tr permit price reductions oi wage Increases, or some combination of both." Mr. Truman reassured Industry, however, that he does not seek or expect a return to pre-war price levels. Mr. Truman listed these as key factors in the situation at midyear: Jobs Despite full-employment conditions, there has been "some weakening of demand for labor," especially in textiles, clothing, leather and electrical machinery.

Q & C officials said the primary aim of the hearings was to explain sustained yield principles and de lineate marketing areas for 1 1 out of 12 projected master units. Second of the hearings will be held in Salem Wednesday. Timber in the 12 O & C master units is located on 2.592,342 acres of public lands In IS Western Ore gon counties, containing an ag' gregate of 34,749,380,000 feet of timber. The six master units to be con sidered at Monday's hearing in- elude the South Coast, Douglas, South Umpqua, Josephine, Jack son and Klamaih units and their respective marKeting areas. At the Salem hearing, the Al- sea-Rickreall, Chrkamas-Mollala, Sanuam River and Upper Wtllanv ette units will be presented.

Editor Charles V. Stanton of the Roseburg News-Review strong' ly supported the O 4 C program. saying that if large areas of tim ber are to be cut in a short time, communities will not be Justified in bonding themselves for ex panded municipal services since they would face the possibility ot becoming ghost towns. Orderly removal such as that contemplated in the O & C pro gram is essential for community planning, he assmed. Service View Delt Kirkpauick of the US. Forest Service read a letter from Regional Fores'.ei H. J. Andrews objecting that about 400,000 acres of land claimed by both, the O & C and the Forest Service should not be Included In the program. Otherwise, he said the O k C plan is a step forward. W. H. Horning, O & C regional adminis trator, said it is hoped Congress soon will settle the matter of own ership of these lands. Al Hartung of the IWA-CIO, appearing on behalf of Interna tional President James Fadlings, objected to the O 4 C program on the ground tl at it would freeze out small operators and create a monopoly for a few larger ones, in return for puning their cutqver lands into the surtained yield pro arm. Ownership ot timberland with in a unit is a qualification for participation. Senators Argue Ballot Inquiry WASHINGTON (UP) The Republican leadership rammed an anti-poll tax bill through the House Mondav as Congress drove toward a Sat urday adjournment. There is no chance that the Senate will pass the bill at this session. Bitter southern opposition and the threat of a filibuster rule that out. But the house GOP leaders wanted the legislation on the record, and they got it, bv a vote of 290 to 112. The anti-poll tax bill would for bid any state from making pay ment of a poll tax a prerequisite to voting in a national election. Seven southern states now enforce this requirement. The Senate meantime resumed debate on the Republican plan for an investigation of alleged Justice Department tardiness in studying Kansas City vote frauds. Some Republicans accused Democrats of filibustering against the inves tigation resolution and night session on the issue was in pros pect Southern Democrats Invoked every tactic in the parliamentary book to delay the final House vote on the anti-poll tax bill. But their filibuster was broken by an equal ly determined Republican major ity. House Speaker Joseph W. Martin, Jr., (R-Mass) used pow ers that hadn't been used for years.

The fitst indication that the Dutch were striking came in Ba tavia, when Dutch troops Sunday midnight suddenly seized all re publican installations. Republican and Dutch officials have agreed that the Indies should receive full independence in 1949. but have been unable to agree on interim ar rangements. The Dutch repeatedly have ac cused the republicans of violating preliminary agreements.

Stockman told reporters: "In my opinion, the responsi bility for omission of funds for the Eugene-Reedsport and Detroit-Eugene transmission lines (two of several denied appro priations) rests squarely on the shoulders of Guy Cordon, be cause he was offered the House conferees' figures of $13,500,000 for the agency, plus $2,500,000 for substations, which could have included these two Oregon lines.
