jSolons Hurry;
The projected Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers strike of
the Southern Pacific Railroad will
materially affect the lumber in
dustry immediately but would not
have a negative effect on agricul
ture unless the strike should be
prolonged.
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

Quota System
Of Atom Control
LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y. (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

transport crashed into a crowd of control, but there still were many
spectators while trying to take big gaps between the majority and

WASHINGTON (AP) President Truman said Monday
the nation has surged to a pinnacle of "unprecedented
prosperity ' but must strengthen its defenses against infla
tion, t
In a special mid-year economic report to Congress, the
chief executive declared that production now is running at
a rate of $225,000,000,000 a year far surpassing anything in
history, and added:
We can place the high production and the high employ
ment that we have today on a firm foundation of enduring
prosperity and peace."

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.
The Economic Council is "watch
ing soft spots" for any signs of
spreading unemployment.

Second of the hearings will be

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.
