Until the present, Oregon has lived upon the export of its basic raw materials its farm and for est products and there products have been exported with little or no advance processing.

The solution of Oregon's prob lems uring the transition f rom chilhood to business maturity is being hampered. Dr. Morris said. "by thinking too overwhelming in terms of security. "No people," he pointed out, "can become prosperous if they are unwilling to take chances. The United States is drifting into a security-complex. We must strike a happy medium, between wild venture and such a for security that we are unwilling to use our courage and initiative." For Maturity The state needs new industries in order to reach business matur ity. Dr. Morris stressed. It needs initiative and courageous action, and all this calls for some good, hard thinking by the leading businessmen. The world situation presents many dismal factors to offset the optimistic outlook which one might get from looking only at the basic economic factors within the United States, Dr. Morris said. See Danger The backlog of unsatisfied con sumer demands plus purchasing power forecasts a happy future in economics, but "profound dangers" in the world situation threaten this picture. Basic idea conflicts, if pursued, lead to basic physical conflicts, Dr. Morris said, and these con flicts are present "no matter which way you turn In the world." Labor Relatione He cited the problems of labor and management as the second big world problem, and pointed out that both these major prob lems are ones of human relations. but was not restored to his job 1 the evening. by the NLRB because of a finding It was also announced that the he would have been laid off any- 1 club picnic will be Aug. 31.

Milligan, attorney, I yet to be fully explained in regard Eugene Realty Board .to real property. Thursday noon how Oregon's new community property law could complicate conveyance of rights in land. He said the law, passed by the last legislature because of advan tages to upper income families in computing federal income tax, was Extension Not Seen for Group FALL RIVER, Mass. Senator Brewster (R-Me.) an nounced Thursday that Republi cans will not ask for an extension of the life of the Senate War In vestigating committee beyond next Jan. 31. Brewster, who heads the controversy-enveloped committee, told a reporter he is "certain" the group will resume its investiga tion of Howard Hughes' wartime plane contracts on Nov. 17. But the Maine Senator, here to attend Fall River's celebration of "Joe Martin Day," said he and oth er Republicans have no intention Georee Pratt chairman of the 1 ' suggesting that the group, once luncheon, introduced the speaker neaoea Dy r-resiaeni 1 ruman wnen and informed the luncheon guests . fhe latter was a Senator, continue that the Eugene convention al ready had broken" alLprevious at tendance records for any insur ance convention in Oregon." Car Shortage Hits Grande Ronde Valley LA GRANDE, Ore. (U.R) A threat to wheat harvesting opera tions in the Grande Ronde Valley loomed Thursday with an in creasingly acute grain car shortage as Union Tacific railroad officials rushed cars from all available points to meet the heavy demand. However, Fred E. Kiddle, Jr., Pioneer Flouring Mill president, said of 30 expected Wednesday, only two arrived. Growers, who were taking advantage of excel lent weather to harvest their wheat, faced a halt Thursday un less more cars come through, the mill official said. Meanwhile, U.P. authorities termed the car famine a seasonal condition, but admitted this year's pinch was of more than average intensity Because of a near-bump er valley crop of better than 1,000,000 bushels. its inquiries In the next session of Congress. . Senate Democrats have made it plain they would fight any such move. "It was never the intention to continue the special committee," Brewster told reporter. "Under the Congressional Reorganization Act. the standing committees should take over these investiga tions. We will be ready for that in January In fact, our final report is already half drawn." To Individual Previously, when land was sold, it was understood to be conveyed to the individual. Now, unless the instrument states otherwise, land and other property becomes com munity property when purchased by income. If exchanged for land previously not held in community. the land can probably remain out side the community law, Milligan said. The law is based on Spanish co lonial law brought into the United States by territories formerly un der Spanish rule. About one third of the states base their property laws on the Spanish, the rest on English common law. Washington and California both have commu nity property laws. Courts to Answer Realty Board members asked questions regarding the sale of I land, inheritance, taxes and ex changes of property. Milligan ob served that many of their ques tions would probably have to be I answered in the courts as specific points become involved in litiga tion. The main point of his talk was that realtors should make clear on their conveyances just what the intent of the parties is when land changes ownership.
