Scattered signal fires glowed un

wild and lonely Horsefly basin early
today as weary rangemen plodded
into the deep-drifted wilderness In
search of a young mother and
child.
Mrs. Laura Boyd, 33, and her six
year-old daughter set out from
their weather-worn plateau ranch
home last Saturday morning, pre'
sumably for Montrose, 33 miles die

late winter marked by Mrs. Boyd's
discarded handbag, her woolen
stockings, and the child's tiny leg'

A neighbor of the Boyds, Her
man had trudged the 13 miles from
his ranch by snowshoe through

Lamport Tells
About Florida
The wealth of Florida, especially
that or Miami, Is almost beyond
comprehension to the casual visi
tor and If Oregon could but get the
"crumbs" from the lavish display of
tnat section, we would be pretty
well off. Fred Lamport, who with
his wife spent six weeks In travel
through the southern state and
Cuba, made this assertion during a
talk before the Salem Realty board
toaay.
Millionaires from the north flock
to Miami In the winter and despite
the fact that 200 hotels have been
constructed along the beach during
the past two years, room tariffs
are extremely high. It Is estimated.
Lamport said, that two million per
sons visit Florida each winter.
Cool weather was experienced by
Lamport on his trip and he said
he was not comfortable much of the
tune without his overcoat. Old folks
who flock to St. Petersburg each
winter from the north were parti
cularly uncomfortable since little
or no provision Is made for artifi
cial heat.
Crossing the Interior of Florida
the Lamport found that many of
the Everglades had been reclaimed,
leaving a soli similar to that of
Lake Labish where vegetables are
grown for northern trade.
Stops were made at Mobile, New
Orleans and Los Angeles on the re
turn trip.

Portland Faces
Rail Embargo
Portland, March 31 (IV-Railroad
officials feared today that a return
of pickets to team tracks at local
freight warehouses would force an
embargo on Incoming shipments.
The pickets, from AFL unions In
volved In a three-month strike ag
ainst Montgomery Ward and com
pany, tightened their grip upon
less than carload-lot freight distri
bution although full-car lots con
tinued to be delivered to most con
signees. Charles A. Hart, railroad attorn
ey, said the freight warehouses were
filling rapidly with Incoming ship
ments and would be jammed, prob
ably by the end of the week. This
will force railroads to notify ship
pers not to send more goods to Port
land, he added,
He declared the railroads were le
gally unable to agree to handle no
more freight consigned to Wards.
Meantime, Governor Charles A,
Sprague, after a conference at Sa
lem with Charles H. Gram, state
labor commissioner, said the only
complaints he had received came
from merchants and shippers.
"I am keeping in close touch with
the situation and have not been
advised that any law has been vio
lated."

Seek to Reverse
Argentina Ban
Washington, March 21 (ft Dem
ocratic Leader Barkley announced
today an administration effort
would be made Monday to reverse
the senate's decision to forbid navy
purchase of Argentine canned beef,
An administration proposal to
permit such purchases was defeat
ed on a tie vote of 32 to 33 yester
day when Vice-President Wallace,
entertaining at a duck luncheon,
failed to appear and break the tie.
Barkley told reporters that two
courses to reverse the decision were
open:
1. An effort to obtain unanim
ous senate consent to reconsider
the vote by which the foreign beef
proposal was rejected.
3. A motion to correct the senate
Journal to make the vote 33 to 32
In favor of the amendment.
The latter motion would be bas
ed on the contention of Senator
Russell (D., Ga.), that he voted for
the amendment but, Inadvertently,
was not recorded by senate clerks.
Several senators said they distinct
ly heard Russell vote for the pro
posal.

ator Clark ID., Idaho) Introduced
yesterday an amendment (S 1146)
to the act permitting consolidation
of forest lands to enable the forest
service to protect lands abandoned

enable counties In Oregon. Wash
ington and Idaho to donate the
abandoned timber lands to forest
service and relieve the counties
which had taken them over for un
paid taxes of their care.

within six miles of the national
forests and the amendment would
extend this privilege to permit ac

for Oregon's warmer climate In re
cent years.

told Senator McNary (R.-Ore.) yes

more prevalent In the last few years,

3 Serb Leaders
Flout Orders of
Repent Prince
(Continued from page 1)
He began meeting leaders of the
parties represented by the recalci
trant ministers to see If they would
agree to name more amenable cab
inet representatives.
Political quarters said that only
a qulok change In the cabinet
would enable the official party to
leave for Vienna as scheduled.
The tenseness was heightened by
disclosure that four of Yugoslavia's
most prominent generals were pen
sioned eaily In the week as a "mere
routine matter."
Generals Removed
Observers pointed out that army
circles have been among the most
vigorous opponents of a surrender
to Germany.
But government circles said the
remaining high officers had agreed
to the government's decision.
Nervousness In the capital was
accentuated by paralysis of the
city's trolley, telephone and light
ing services for a short period at
noon. But engineers said the trou
ble was technical.
German circles said the formal
ising of Yugoslavia's entry Into '
closer relations with the reloh
would be swift, with Premier Cvet
kovlo and Foreign Minister Alksan
der Olncar-Markovlo due to leave
tonight or tomorrow for Vienna
where they would sign the docu
ment Sunday.
British Doubtful
Although the government's ac
tion was reported by responsible
government sources, British circles
still insisted they had reason to
believe Yugoslavia had reached no
decision on what concessions she
would make to the axis.
Slovakia, Hungary, Rumania and
Bulgaria,, among Yugoslavia's
neighbors In southeast Europe, pre
viously had Joined the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo
axis.
The degree to which Yugoslavia'!
decision will facilitate German ac
tion In the Balkans, possibly
against Greece to bolster the falter
ing Italians, was uncertain In the
absence of details of the agree
ment that has been reached. But
a responsible government leader
said it would provide economic and
"seml-mllltary" aid to the relch.
The crown council approved the
program last night and the cabinet
leader voted for It, 13 to four, after
a bitter wrangle.
