Portland, Ore., March 21 (U.PJ
Governor Charles Sprague today
wired WPB Chief Donald Nelson
for an Immediate investigation of
asserted "stalemating forces" which
have retarded establishment of an
Iron and steel Industry in Oregon,
"The establishment of an iron
and steel Industry and especially the
electric furnace type of industry
has been effectively blocked by the
present suppliers of Ingots and steel
on many grounds," said Governor
Sprague, "but primarily because a
deep rooted opposition to the elec
tric furnace principle and for na
tural and competitive reasons."
The governor was referring to at
tempts to open up the rich limonlte
deposits of the St. Helens area. A
recent investigation was made there

to obtain it through our local busi
ness Interests.

particular reference to'shlpyard re

Steel goods are now being trans

Britain's War
Effort Gigantic
For Population
New York, March 21 (U.B The
war effort of the British Isles Is out
of all proportion to its size and
population, Sir Gerald Campbell,
British minister In Washington, told
the . National Consumers League to
day. Sir Gerald pointed out that the
population of Great Britain is one
third that of the United States and
one half that of the German-speaking
nations.
"People tend automatically to
think of Its (Britain's) war effort
as on a par with that of the United
States and the USSR," he said. "This
is very fit and proper."
After the experience of Dunkirk,
Sir Gerald said, the entire nation
rose "like a giant from its troubled
sleep; working hours leaped to a
fantastic height men and women
worked for 12, 14 and 15 continuous
hours a day, but such a pace could
not and should not have lasted.'
Sir Gerald said that after the Ini
tial shock a planned system was re
introduced and 50 to 60 hours a week
was found to be the maximum ca
pacity for a worker.
The greatest single labor measure
passed In Britain in this war, Sir
Gerald said, is the essential work
order. Inspired by labor ministers
Ernest Bevin, the provision guaran
tees a minimum weekly wage to all
workers In Industries declared essen
tial to the war effort.
"This has the effect of eliminat
ing the problem of casual, labor and
chronic unemployment in the most
Important industries," the Britisher
said.

New Insurance Rates
Materially
New fire insurance rate sheets from the Oregon Insur
ance Rating bureau just received today covering the Salem
downtown business district and commercial, industrial or
other kinds of buildings for busi
ness use outside of the downtown
district, show material decreases In
rates on a large share of them, ac
cording to a statement made by
Homer H. Smith, local Insurance
man. Dwellings are not affected,
rates on these having been changed
about a year ago. Apartment
house are Included.
While the rate sheets cover each
of the buildings specifically and are
so extensive as to preclude repub
lishing in full, in a general way It
may be stated, he said, that the
rate tendency is downward on most
of such structures except where
some hazard has been created as
to the Individual property since the
last sheets covering it were Issued,
Guthrie Raps
WPB Officials
Washington, March 21 () An
aide of Robert R. Guthrie, resigned
executive of the war production
board, charged today that some
WPB officials obstructed proposals
for conservation In fields where
they had worked before entering
government service.
George Doherty, who was execu
tive assistant to Guthrie, said he
had seen "indications every day"
that the technical consultants for
WPB were "extremely reluctant to
take drastic conservation steps" af
fecting their former industries,
Marshall -Hale, Jr., 39-ycar-old
San 'Francisco department store
executive who joined WPB as a dol-
lar-a-ycar man and became deputy
chief of the WPB textile division
under Guthrie, said there was undue
indecision and delay in the or
ganization. Hale .who also has resigned, said
he found associates In the WPB
were "touchier than men In private
industry about going over the heads
of immediate supervisors to get ac
tion on their Ideas."
Chairman Faddls (D-Pa) said
Donold M, Nelson, WPB head, prob
ably would be called to testify next
week.
State Uses Its
March Tire Quota
Portland, -March 21 UP) Oregon

Carl B. Cadwcll, executive secre
tary, said truck tires went first,

hausted in supplying light trucks.
He feared a curtailment In in

tion. .....

To Pick New Aide
(Continued
present, President Hogg compli
mented a chamber administration
of some years ago which made the
chamber headquarters among the
finest on the Pacific coast.
Debt Removed v
Administrations since, however,
he said had largely been concerned
with erasing the debt thus created,
and the present administration, In
service since the first of the year,
had observed, he said, that not
much progress has been made in the
way of promotion. He believed the
membership should be built up
from the present 450 to 600 or 700.
Mr. Hogg said that the chamber
is understaffed, and that all other
chambers In the state of similar
size have both a secretary and a
manager. The new plan, he sold,
would not change the status of
Manager Fred D. Thielsen. The
assessment plan, he explained, was
Lower
or unless a rate change has been
made in the past year or so, as has
happened In some instances with
specific pieces of property.
The rates show an average de
crease of from 50 cents a hundred
down to five cents a hundred with
varying decreases in between. Per
centages run from as high as 50 per
cent of the former rate down to as
low as five per cent.
Going over the book and picking
out some Instances at random, one
outlying commercial establishment
Is shown to have its rate cut with
in two or three cents of half of Its
former rate, or down from $1.83
cents a hundred to 03 cents a hun
dred. This is considered probably
an exceptional case of a concrete
structure were fire fighting facili
ties have been greatly Improved and
hazards removed, but unquestion
ably, said Mr. Smith, there are
some other substantial reductions
in the rate sheets with the general
average being, however, as previ
ously cited.
The rates are named as effective
January 1, 1041, but in many cases
return premiums will date as far
back as November 1, 1940, he said
Suburban risks are unchanged
from the last rate sheets except in
those cases where a special sched
ule Is established due to water
mains having been extended of a
size to meet requirements and in
these Instances there are reductions
of rates varying from 00 cents to
35 cents a hundred.
Mr, Smith stated that the rcduc
ttons effected are In line with
agreements made with the city as
to hydrants and other factors which
have reduced risks and consequent
ly resulted in the cut in rates. ..
Properly owners having build
ings coming under the classiflca
ttons noted, such as for business,
mercantile or other commercial use,
may ascertain from their respective
agents the effect of the new rate
sheets on their individual proper
ties.
E. H. Barkus, 2395 Nob Hill, fil
ed his declaration today with Coun
ty Clerk Ohmart as candidate for
republican nomination for constable
of the Salem justice of the peace
district. He gives as his slogan,
"Efficiency and Fairness." Only one
other candidate for the office has
so far filed, this being Earl R, Ad

have been rumors of at 'cast one
other filing for the republican nom

to avoid "putting the chamber In
the hole."
Mr, Hogg stressed Salem's rela
tions with the new Corvallls can
tonment, and mentioned that as
one of the duties that would de
volve upon the new staff man.
Something had to be done about
transportation for workers and sol
diers between here and the can
tonment, he said, and they could
not be expected to pay $1.50 for a
round trip fare when 50 or 00 cents
would be a reasonable charge. "It
Is the duty of the community to
help the cantonment In every pos
slble way," he said, "and naturally
we should expect some benefits
from It." Relative to new member
ships he said the chamber should
have the 100 per cent support of
restaurants, pool halls and theatres
because they are going to be big
beneficiaries from the oantonment
population.
Time Opportune
Ray Yocom said he believed the
time was ripe for the chamber to
do the community "some real good"
and that like most other organiza
tions the members were going to get
out of it "what you put into it." He
mentioned some of the difficulties
that had been encountered In in
dustrial promotion, citing as an ex
ample the plywood industry which
brought some criticism upon the
chamber when a plant of that kind
did not come to Salem. "Consider
ing the things they wanted," said
Mr, Yocom, "It just wasn't in the
cards."
Gene Vandeneynde said he was
heartily for the plan "especially at
the low cost you have mentioned."
In reply to a question from Edwin
Schreder, Mr. Hogg explained that
the assessment was not an addition
to the dues, and Schreder said he
was for it.
"I think you have worked out a
good plan, and 1 don't think the $5
assessment will be objectionable at
all," said Ralph Cooley. )
The motion by which the plan
was made effective was made by
Mr. Vandeneynde.
Plane Delay
Caused by 0PM
Los Angeles, March 21 (IP) A U. 8.
senate subcommittee, ending a
week's Investigation of southern
California war production, .reported
today a slowdown in aircraft build
ing, apparently "due to the failure
of the office of production manage
ment and the war department to
realize soon enough the necessity of
expanding the producton of sup
pliers of parts."
The report was made by Senators
Mon O, Wallgrcn (D-Wash), Har-
ley M, Kllgoro (D-W Va.) and Jo
seph H. Ball (R-MInn) and concur
red In by Senator Sheridan Dow
ney (D-Callf.) who said he had been
an observer with the group, which
is part of the Truman senatorial
committee Investigating production
throughout the nation.
Tho report emphasized that air
craft manufacturers are not at fault.
Referring to tho OPM and war de
partment, the committee declared:
"They concentrated too much of
their attention upon expanding the
facilities of the airplano manufac
turcrs who assembled the parts. The
subcommittee also believes that a
more simplified method of financing
the expansion of plant facilities by
supplies of parts should have been
developed to eliminate red tape, con
fusion and delay."
