Page , Begtster-Giiard, Eugene, Ore., Sim., Aug, 8. 1948 Congress Quits After Cutting Its Work Short (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) had wormed deep Into the federal government. Those hearings brought bitter words from both the White House and the capitol. Mr. Truman accused the Re publicans of trying to hide the short-comings of Congress by a "red herring" hunt, for Com munists. Then, in the Senate's closing hours, Senator Ferguson (R-Mich) went so far as to speak of "im peachment." In its last long day, Congress cleared first the housing bill, then the anti-inflation measure. Senator Barkley (D-Ky), Presi dent Truman's running mate In the fall campaign, pleaded for adoption of the White House anti- Inflation program. He said a do nothing policy would endanger America's economy and national security and impair the nation's foreign policy. Inaction on high prioes, he declared, will cost the American people $10,000,000,000 In the next year. The Senate previously had re jected two proposals to investigate high prices. Both were offered as amendments to the anti-inflation bill. Putting restraints on install' ment buying, the bill authorizes the federal reserve board to fix credit controls on consumer goods. If the board adheres to the war time pattern, down payments of at least one-third of the purchase price of such articles as automo biles and washing machines would be required, with a maximum of 18 or 18 months to pay the bal ance.

'Willamette Meet Called for Thursday Residents of the South Willa. mette area have scheduled a pub' 11c meeting at Dunn School the evening of Thursday, Aug. 12, to discuss a complicated legal sit uation which arose after part of the area was annexed to the city of Eugene. The South Willamette Sanitary ; District had been formed by court . order before part of the area with '. in the district was voted Into the city. The question now is whether that part of the district which was annexed still is part of the sani tary district. City Manager Deane Seeger has pointed out that the city can not proceed with installation of sowers in the annexed area If the property owners also are going to be assessed by the district. He said the principal objective of all concerned was to untangle tne legal phases of the problem so that some type of sewage in atallations can be started. Owners of property both inside and out side the city limits are urged to attend the meeting.

How ever, it does provide for "regula tion for the conservation of the natural resources of the county." Problem of Fringe Areas It was last November, in a talk before the Eugene Chamber of Commerce that William A. Bowes (commissioner of public works in Portland and formerly on the gov ernor's interim committee on rural zoning) pointed out the "fringe" problem of cities In the state. He remarked on people who move out of cities to get away from "restrictions," and said, "Un fortunately for them, others get the same idea, and before they know It they are faced with more problems than they ever faced within the cities." He said that in nine cases out of ten these "fringe areas" will become a part of the cities and if "allowed to grow un controlled, they will become a ter rible headache for the city which has to Incorporate them." The city of Springfield Is now experiencing the problem of making equitable land use regu lations and an orderly develop ment pattern for the Nicholas Gardens section which, until re cently Incorporated, was part of the "fringe" area around that city. The members of the Springfield planning commission will testify that the problem is not an easy one. The state legislature has provid ed the means for meeting these problems. It now remains, after ini tial steps by the county court, for the people of the county to accept or reject an orderly development pattern. Shippers File Damage Suit PORTLAND. Ore.
