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.
Skaters Have
Special Period
Something new in the way of
free entertainment for children
has been added to the schedules
of the city Bureau of Parks and
Recreation summer program.
It's free roller skating for kids
on the tennis courts of the Nine
teenth and Lawrence St. play
ground. Skaters must provide
their own skates, but the city will
provide supervision and music
from 10:15 a. m. to noon Tues
day.
The recreation department al
so has announced folk and square
dancing will be held on the tennis
courts from 1:30 to 2 p. m. each
Tuesday and Thursday for child
ren aged eight to 16. Singing
games will be held from 1 to
1:30 on the same days for young
er children.
A special pet show is set for
next Friday, with prizes and cer
tificates offered young pet own
ers. The department announced
that over 400 children attended a
bicycle field day at the playground
last Friday.
5. '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.

ever, it does provide for "regula

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.
