Truman and FEA Advisors Say
Lend-Lease Must Continue to
Assure Defeat of Nip Empire
Washington, May 22 IE) President Truman and the
foreign economic administration told congress today that
lend-lease must continue on an "adjusted and reduced" basis
to generate the overwhelming power needed to crush Japan.
FEA reported that a grand total of $38,971,000,000 in
American lend-lease aid has been poured into the United
Nations war machine in a little more than four years up until
March 31. .
This, it said, amounted to fifteen cents out of every Ameri
can war dollar spent during that period.
The report said there would be "substantial reductions
in . . . allied war produc-t
lion" loiiowing defeat of Ger
many,
"Plans for reconversion in
the United States, Britain and
Canada are being coordinated on
a broad front so that these na
tions will be devoting equitable
shares of industrial capacity to the
war against Japan," the report
said.
Programs Adjusted
"The lend-lease programs of
war aid to our allies also have
been adjusted and reduced to take
Into account the end of hostilities
in Europe and the new military
situation. Future programs of
lend-lease aid will continue to be
based on ... the most effective
prosecution of the war."
The most important thing the
U. S. has gained through .lend
lease the report declared, has been
"the defeat of nazi Germany and
the hastening of the day of vic
tory over Japan."
In addition, however, it said
this country had received up to
last Jan. 1 nearly $5,000,000,000
worth of reverse lend-lease sup
plies and services from its aUies.
That's a return roughly of one
eighth of what we shipped to our
allies.
Funds Are Cut
Lend-lease programs to all the
allies have now been "adjusted
and reduced to take Into account
the end of hostilities in Europe
and the new military situation,"
FEA said.
Both the report and a letter
from President Truman accom
panying it avoided any direct men
tion of Russia's role in lend
lease now that full war emphasis
has been shifjpd to the Pacific.
The Soviets are neutral there.
This was partly attributable to
the fact that the report covered
only up to the end of March. The
war in Europe ended in May. .
Since March, because of the
end of the European war, the bulk
of Russia's $300,000,000-a-month
lend-lease deliveries have been
suspended. Work has begun on a
45 per cent reduction in the flow
of lend-lease aid to the British
commonwealth. Additional reduc
tions are in the making in lend
lease programs with other allies
Allies Are Aided
The report said mbre than 98
per cent of this nation's vast lend
lease contribution had gone to the
four major allies Britain, Russia,
France and China. .
It listed Britain's share as $12,
775,000,000 to the United King
dom, $1,257,000,000 to Australia
and New Zealand, and a large
part of the $5,836,000,000 which
has gone to the Africa Middle
East-Mediterranean area and the
China-India section.
Russia received $8,409,000,000 in
lend-lease up to March 31. Addi
tional deliveries to the Soviets be
fore the recent suspension pushed
Russia's total close to the $9,000,
000,000 mark.
Acting Secretary of State Jo
seph C. Grew hinted last week
that Russia would continue to get
some lend-lease but said that "sub
stantial reductions" would be
made.
Inorganic compounds of mer
cury, arsenic, antimony, and bis
muth have been used in medical
treatments for hundreds of years.

Schools to Get
New Tax Money
Deschutes county public schools
will receive $195,404 from Oregon
state income taxes during the
coming 1945-46 school year, Su
perintendent J. Alton Thompson
has been notified.
All public schools in Oregon
will receive roughly $13,000,000
of income tax revenue, or $12,
903,872 based on 1944-46 figures.
This amount of income tax pro
ceeds goes to public schools
throughout Oregon partly as re
sult of laws enacted by the 1945
state legislature.
Deschutes county's share of the
$12,903,872, or1 $195,404 will con
sist of the following amounts:
State elementary school tax ca
mills tax on property that is can
celled by state income tax reve
nues), $25,518.70.
State school support fund $5,-
000,000 of income tax money di
verted by the 1942 measure, $74,
835. This county's share of $2,000,-
000 of Income tax money that was
added to the $5,000,000 school sup
port fund by the 1945 legislature
will be $30,350. This amount is dis
tributed on a "teacher unit" basis
among the various school districts
in our county.
Amount Estimated
Deschutes county's share of
$1,000,000 of income tax money
that was added to the $5,000,000
school support fund by the 1945
legislature, will be about $14,967.
This amount is distributed on
basis of "actual days attendance"
ratio among the various school
districts.
. In a d d 1 1 i o n to the above
amounts, this county will receive
at least for the next two fiscal
years, about $51,600 from the in
come tax revenues. This amount
will wipe out any levy on property
for the county school tax of ap
proximately $10 per school census
child.
Almost one-half of the cost of
wblic schools in Oregon is now
being paid by revenue from the
wo state income taxes, personal
and corporate. Although much of
the $13,000,000 of income tax reve
nue now being diverted to public
schools is supposed -to reduce
property taxes for school pur
poses, actually much of the prop
erty tax "offset" state-source
revenue is being absorbed by spe
cial levies over the 6 limitation
being voted by many school dis
tricts. CARS ARE TAGGED
Tags were placed on three more
cars for improper parking on
downtown streets, according to
police reports today. Overtime
parking was charged to cars
registered to W. V. Hamby, 223
St. Helens place, and Charles
Broadman, 413 East Greenwood
avenue, and parking in a loading
zone was charged to a car
registered to Mrs. E. J. Merrill,
443 East Greenwood avenue.

turning veterans are making
scholastic grades as much as three
per cent higher than the average
civilian students, a survey showed

The North western Life Insur

universities and colleges found
these former soldiers more seri
ous and more inclined to study.
As many as 20 per cent in some
colleges already were married or
soon expected to be, the sui-vey
showed.

TPU electricity is tiie best
bargain in my household budget"
...says Mrs. Homer H.Hayes,
Housewife of Joseph, Oregon
"We've used PP&L electric service, first on our
farm and now in our home in town for nearly
twenty years ever since we moved from our
Imnaha cattle ranch back to the Wallowa Valley,
"I'll never forget how pleasantly surprised I was
when we bought our first electric range and dis
covered how little it cost to cook with electricity.
Since then we've added almost every electrical
convenience you can use in a home . , . and yet our
electric bill is just about the smallest item of
household expense.
"One of the things I like best about PP.&L is the
extra service they give. For instance, when we
bought the range, a PP&L representative came out
to Bhow me how to get the most out of it for the
least cost. And from time to time they've gone over
my electric bills to make sure I'm getting my
money's worth for the few pennies a day I spend
for electric service.

"PP&L electricity is so cheap, it's the best bar

Mrs. Homer H. Hayes is the daughter of a Wallowa
County pioneer, Daniel W. Warnock, who claimed pne of
the valley's first homesteads nearly 70 years ago. After
her marriage to Mr. Hayes, she went with her husband to
a romote section of the Snake River Canyon to establish
a cattle ranch.
Lumber for the Hayes home was made Into a raft at
Pittsburgh Landing and floated 20 miles down the swift
waters of the Snake to reach the site of their ranch home.
Travel in and out of the Snake River Canyon was a two
day trip by horseback, and Mr. and Mrs. Hayes with their
two young sons made excursions about twice a year into
the Wallowa Valley for supplies.
Nearly twenty years ago Mr. and Mrs. Hayes sold their
Snake River holdings and purcha.ed a 200-acre farm near
Joseph, Oregon. This farm, well-eleCtrified and long
served by PP&L lines, is now operated by Mr, and Mrs.
Hayes' son, Kirk. Tho other son, Corporal Max Hayes, is
serving in the Army.
Mrs. Hayes has her war job, too. When the Wallowa
Valley ranchers needed someone to receive livestock at
their Joseph shipping point, Mis. Hayes, who once rode
for cattle on the Imnaha ranch, volunteered for the job.
And now each Friday finds her at the Joseph stockyards,
supervising the weighing in of cattle and other livestock
shipped from the Valley to the outside markets.
