By John L. Cutter
(United Prexa Staff CorrMtwnttonO
Washington, Jan. 1 (U.R) Senators and representatives,
many of them newcomers to Washington, were drifting into
the capital today to prepare for Wednesday's opening session
of a new congress whose primary aims will be to win the war
quickly and fashion a lasting peace.
Preliminaries to the formal opening of the 79th congress
will come tomorrow when both parties caucus to re-elect
floor leaders Rep. John W. McCormack of Massachusetts
for the democrats and Rep. Joseph W. Martin, Jr., also of
Massachusetts, for the repub- "
licans. Democratic leaders are, European phase of the war is

About 20 per cent of the mem
bership of the new congress will
consist of newcomers, legislators
beginning their first terms. The
house division will be 243 demo
crats, 190 republicans and two
minor party members. In the
senate, the democrats will hold
57 seats, the republicans 38 and
the progressive party, one.

Victory Remote
Johnston Warns
. Washington, Jan. 1 UP) Presi
dent Eric Johnston of the U. S.
chamber of commerce, warning
that victory will be neither quick
nor easy, today urged industry
and labor alike to encourage
workers in non-essential Jobs to
seek work in plants that produce
the weapons needed by the "boys
up front."
"I appeal to war plant workers
to search for new ways to In
crease and speed production to
make better use of the manpower
and supplies they have," John
ston said in a New Year's day
broadcast. "I appeal once more to
labor to cooperate with manage
ment to this end."
Nut Ion .lumps Gun
Johnston said the German win
ter offensive showed dearly that
the nation had "jumped the gun
when It started emphasizing re
conversion and postwar planning
after last summer's victories in
Europe.. While studies of recon
version must not be neglected, he
said, primary attention now must
be centered on winning the war.
"Our complacency of last sum
mer and early fall now makes us
look a little silly," he said. "So
let's get back to winning the war
first. Let's got back on the single
track that will lead to victory
i in Europe and in the Pacific. And
I let's quit kidding ourselves that
the end wil be either quick or
easy."

Fire Destroys Big

the Blue Lake producer's canning

age estimated at as much as
$1,250,000, and destroyed huge
stores of canned vegetables des
tined for the army.

was thought possibly of incendi

sons became naturalized citizens
of the United States in Deschutes
county.
The filing of honorable dis
charges spurted in 1944, when 95
honorables from the army, the
navy and marine corps were filed
as against 16 during the previous
year. These figures do not mean
that 95 Deschutes county men
were discharged from the armed
forces in 1944. They are explained,
rather, because, in February, 1944,
a law became effective whereby
those who had received discharg
es previously might obtain a
b'iniis off rom $100 to $300 by sub
mitting discharge papers to the
nroner authorities. 1 he discharges
had to be filed with a county clerk
prior to submission. Hence per
sons wno had served since tept.

honorable discharges hastened to
file them with the nearest county
clerk.
The deed business, as unoffi
cially renorted by Mrs. Dan P.
Dacey, Deschutes county clerk,
was just so-so. Deeds recorded in
1943 made a spectacular leap of 50
nor cent over those recorded in
1943. In 1942 there were 1,080
deeds filed. During 1943 there
were 1,581 filed. A slight drop
over last year's figures will show
in 114 with 1,50b deeds recorded,
or 75 less than last year.
And what agency has been held
largely responsible for the in
crease of deeds recorded in Des
chutes county during 1943-44?
You guessed it the army!
Salem, across the river, succeed
ed in saving the major portions of
a dehydrating plant run in con
nection with the cannery, and a
new warehouse.
Blaze Spectacular
The blaze was perhaps the most
spectacular in this area since the
old State capitol bunlding burned
in 1935. Flames flew high into
the air and the sound of exploding
vegetable-filled cans was like the
sound of an artillery barrage,
spectators reported.
The plant -had been operating
at full capacity this year, and a
large portion of the pack was des
troyed. Damage was limited to
the plant and nearby buildings
were not harmed, except for some
whose paint was blistered by the
intense heat.
Peace Prospects

Athens, Jan. 1 UP Archbishop
Damaskinos, new regent of
Greece, conferred with Greek po

to selecting a new cabinet, and
prospects for peace in the Greek
civil war brightened perceptibly.
Damaskinos, named regent by
King George Saturday, was sworn
in at noon yesterday and imme

Associates said Damaskinos
probably would not select the new
premier for several days. The
cabinet, when formed, was ex

The E.L.A.S. offer was said to
