Salem, Ore., Jan. 3 lPi The
coming problems of the postwar
years will vie in the minds of
Oregon's legislators with those of
the day-to-day mechanics of gov
ernment during the 1945 session
starting next Monday, a session
which may be the last wartime
meeting of the state legislature.
Many and pressing questions
will confront this 43rd regular
session. And for months before
the session was due to open, pro
posed legislation kept popping up
in the news. Special interest
groups and various citizens' com
mittees have served notice of leg
islation they intend to have sub
mitted to the lawmakers.
One of the most controversial
in recent months is the proposed
law to require ail milk to be pas
teurized. This has the qualified
approval of the department of ag
riculture, and the unqualified ap
proval of many of the larger dairy

Opposition w!M come mainlv
from the smaller dairymen, who
feel that such action would be dis
criminatory against them. The
controversy arose recently follow
ing an epidemic o! undulant fever,
caused oy impure milK.
Another of th controversial
problems which 'he legislators
must deal with it that arising
from the fact that '.he war is go
ing to end sometime. Veterans'
aid, rehabilitation, the organiza
tion of the already-approved pro
grams for education and loans to
veterans, must be worked out in
detail.
The question of how to deal
with returning ananese-Ameri
cans will undoubtedly come up at
the session. A fight is predicted by
observers on this subject. It has
Deen orougnt torcimy to the pub
lic attention by recent action of
three organizations: The Hood
River American Legion post,
which selected the names of Japanese-American
senrtcemen from
their roll of honor; and two
groups each seeking the title of
Oregon Anti-Japanese Inc.
The state employes organiza
tions presumably will ask for old
age pensions, and they may ask
for civil service status. Teachers
of the state too, may ask for pen
sion provisions.
New Cold Wave
Moves Into East
(By United Trees)
A new cold wave, originating in
Canada and sweeping eastward
across the nation on the heels of
yesterday's icy blasts, was fore
cast today for the northern plain
states, the upper Mississippi val
ley and the Great Lakes region,
with the mercury dipping to la
and 20 degrees below zero to-night.
States along the Atlantic sea
board, however, were promised a
36-hour respite from last night's
near -zero temperatures before
feeling the effects of the new cold
wave.
Mercury Drops
Temperatures fell to two de
grees below zero at Williams
port, Pa., during the night, while
in western New York a blizzard
partially paralyzed transporta
tion and forced several major war
plants to close.
The snowfall was described as
light in all sections except around
Erie, Pa., where a fall of 12
inches was reported. At Buffalo
and Syracuse, N. Y., fierce winds
whipped the snow, hampering
visibility and bringing traffic al
most to a standstill.
Temperatures hovering be
tween 15 and 20 degrees below
zero throughout the north and
midwest were forecast for tonight
by the federal weather forecaster
at Chicago. In the east, however,
the mercury was scheduled to
rise to the low 30's today before
falling again tomorrow night.
South Is Warmer
The south, laboring under un
seasonably chilly temperatures
experienced some-relief yester
day and was due for warmer
weather today. Atlanta's low yes
terday was 31 degrees.
Florida's lower peninsula and
the southern tip of Texas as well
a.t some sections of the far south
west enjoyed comfortable tem
peratures throughout yesterday
with a. high of 73 degrees at
Brownsville, Tex.
Jap-Americans

The awards, announced by Lt.
Gen. Jacob L. Devers, Sixth army
group commander, shortly after
soldiers of the Seventh army had
been angered by reports of ami
