Farm and Food Truce Possible J (By the Associated Prestl ( Washington, July 21 The ex ecutive branch and legislative leaders appeared to be headed toward a truce on some of their major farm and food policy dif ferences today as: I 1. Senator Russell (D., Ga.) called on his farm state contem poraries to meet the administra tion halfway on any move it might make toward reconcilia tion of those differences, and, J 2. The agricultural adjustment agency forbade its 200,000 field employes and committeemen to distribute information about AAA farm programs through iiews channels. h Hussell told reporters he was nased that war food adminis trator Marvin Jones planned to consult with congressmen before making final decisions affecting future farm problems, j "It would do well for the ad ministration and members of congress to approach such con ferences in a spirit of mutual helpfulness, and without chips on their shoulders," the senator added. j These armistice moves coin cided with a variety of develop ments on the ever-pressing food 'question. They included a war food administration decision to require slaughterers to trim more fat for lard off pork cuts, k senate committee's plans to investigate charges that chain itores have bought small meat packing plants and cut off sup plies from small retailers, and e setting of new retail price filings on fresh fish possibly to combat a reported "strike" of fishermen. I OPA ordered retail fish sell ers to limit their prices start ing tomorrow to a formula bas ed on the number of cents mark up customarily placed on fish between July 5 and 10. Ceilings recently were imposed on whole sale transactions, which officials said brought complaints from fishermen that dealers were able to make extra profits. ,)j From the office of the co ordinator of fisheries came esti mates that the work-stoppage of these fishermen already is cost ing the country more than 5, 000,000 pounds of fish a week.

There were no serious injur ies, although several were ov ercome by smoke. A five-story frame hotel, a large rooming house, and a number of flats and apartments were destroyed. Fire departments of Seaside, 20 miles south, and Ilwaco, Wash., across the Columbia riv er to the north, were called, but the flames threatened to en gulf the rest of the large Fin nish district until coastguard East Salem Residents Greet Visitors During Summertime East Salem, July 21 Guests this summer in East Salem homes are usually those who are combining pleasure with business, stopping off to see relatives and friends as they go to different places to work on new jobs or on business trips. Last week Cooperation of British Praised Tacoma, July 21 VP) Col. Al bert H. Hooker, Tacoma indus trialist, who arrived home yes terday after 15 months, as a chemical officer of the 8th army in Europe, praised the British for "going to the extremes in cooperation" in an interview with the News Tribune today. "Their cooperation is almost unbelievable," he said of the British, adding that Americans could not possibly accept every thing offered in the way of hos pitality and military help. America had "a great deal" to learn from the British, the col onel said. "Has England anything to learn from us?" "Not yet," said Col. Hooker. The Tacoman who left here as a major returned as chairman of the chemical panel of the inter-allied post war relief com mission with headquarters in London. He left London on an army transport plane only Sat urday evening; reaching Boeing field yesterday morning. Speaking of chemical war fare, he said he believed that to know how to deal with gas was more important than the is suance of gas masks, and he does not believe that all civil ians should be issued masks. If there is to be an enemy attack with gas on the civilian popula tion, the gas would be needed on so large a scale that we would be bound to have ad vance notice, he said, and pro tective equipment could be rushed in to the endangered area. He added that contrary to general opinion, he believed chemical warfare was "more humane" than other kinds. In juries from high explosives were 25 per cent fatal, whereas casualties of chemical warfare were only 2 per cent fatal, he said. Yokom Sweeps Street In Payment of Wager Portland, July 21 VP) Sixth avenue or that portion of it in front of the Victory Center is clean. Orval Yokom, Grant county war bond chairman, will swear to that. Before a large crowd Yocom, equipped with a street-cleaner's broom, personally gave the ave nue a going-over yesterday. This was the result of a wag er with David Eccles, state bond chairman, on whether Grant county would fulfill its June quota. If the county had reached its goal city-bred Eccles would have gone to Canyon City to milk a cow.

Mr. Brown has gone into Portland for work in the shipyards. Mrs. Brown is a cousin , of Mr. Frame. Visiting in the Frame home also last week was Mrs. Wil liam .Stephenson, Mrs. Frame's sister from Portland. A small new barn is being built on the George Noak acre age on Garden Road. Swegle school board met on Monday night in regular ses sion. Mrs. Margaret Holmberg of North Road in Swigle dis trict was given the contract to clean the school building this summer and do the janitor work for the coming school year. Only other routine busi ness was taken up. Finding someone to do necessary roof work is the most important problem at this time as no wall work can be done at this time without the roof repairs and la bor for this work has not been found. Private Aguillar Held in Pendleton Pvt. Jose Aguillar, army pris oner who escaped from military police by jumping from the win dow of a moving train, was ar rested last night in Pendleton, according to the state police. Aguillar, charged with deser tion and assault, slammed a rest room door on the hand of his guard and jumped from the train as it passed through Sa lem. He was en route from Camp White to Pendleton.

A solid republican delegation, it was lead by Sen. McNary, mi nority leader, and the veteran Rep. Mott on the house side. McNary's high standing in con gress and among high govern ment officials generally aided other members in their work while senator Holman was ac tive on the appropriations com mittee and succeeded in get ting increases in funds for rec lamation and fire protection af ter the house had omitted them from the appropriation bills. On the house side, Mott was engaged a great part of the ses sion in work of the naval af fairs committee on which he is the ranking republican member. cil you. haven't tried Zcmaeol-iry it tonight!

Streets Blocked Hundreds were evacuated from nearby buildings, and the streets piled high with house hold goods emptied from the en dangered dwellings. After three hours of pumping water into the mass of flames, the blaze was brought under control. City Manager Brewer Billie estimated damage at more than $100,000. Water pressure, because of the heavy drain by fish can neries, was too low for effec tive fire fighting at first, and seven pumps were set up to bring water directly from the Columbia river. The coast guard blocked off the whole western section of the city, which was 'littered with 15,000 feet of hose. Homes in a four-block radius were sprin kled by embers, and residents fought numerous minor roof fires. Though fire-fighters kept the flames to the single block, sur rounding buildings were dam aged by heat and smoke. Landmark Burns The buildings destroyed in cluded the Hannula hotel, a landmark of the Finnish dis trict, and the Lopakka room ing house. Also burned were three apartments over the Ker anen garage and Werner's bak ery, owned by Mrs. Lydia Wuori. Saved was $10,000 in cash which tenants of the rooming house entrusted to John Lo pakka. He wrapped the money in a sheet, and dashed from the doomed building. Because of the extreme hous ing shortage, the homeless had difficulty finding shelter. Many were scattered in private homes throughout the city. The USO accommodated many, but 25 were forced to spend the night the unfurnished cubicles of a Finnish steam bath house. It was the worst fire here since the conflagration of Dec. 8, 1922, when virtually the en tire business district was burned. The loss was more than $11,000,000. Afterwards the district was rebuilt into a modern, fireproof city center. The long-established western end of town, however, remains largely of wooden construction.

With the coming of the war these gyro compasses were needed in large quantity to equip the ships of our rapidly expanding Navy and Merchant Marine. They had never been built in quantity production. To save time one of the big thirteen hun dred pound Sperry Gyro-Compasses was sent IT CAME OVERNIGHT, FROM BROOKLYN TO OETROIT BY f AST PASSENGER TRAIN forces of gravity, are harnessed and used for direction and control of the spinning rotor.

The gyro-compass is an intricate, scientific Instrument of navigation which unerringly points (and holds) true North. It is not influ enced by electrical or magnetic disturbances that affect the ordinary compass. The heart of the gyro-compass is its large fifty pound rotor a kind of fly-wheel, which IT FIND5 THE TRUE NORTH Is spun at the rate of six thousand revolutions a minute by its own in-built electric motor. We found the compass to contain over ten thousand mechanical parts, with delicate elec trical arrangements whereby the East-West rotation of the world itself, and the constant this Intricnte mechanism. They were greatly aided in these studies by the Sperry Gyro scope Company, Inc., long experienced in gyro-compass manufacture. Study of the drawings, specifications and the parts of the compass, helped us decide which parts we would manufacture ourselves and which we would sub-contract to other companies. Our master mechanics made plans for more than five thousand special tools and fixtures. Our planning department began to order production material. We made the final selections of men from our organization whose abilities clearly fitted them for super vision of the many tasks of gyro-compass manufacture. We placed our first orders among three hundred and fifty subcontractors. While these things were going on we began to build two complete compasses with- EVERY PIECE AND EVERY ASSEMBLY TESTED FOR BALANCE ANO PRECISION mcnts were made and the quantity produc-1 tion of gyro-compasses actually began. In our production program we were guided by the same principles that we had used successfully in the building of cars and trucks. ' We believe that if each individual part of tha machine (however intricate) is made right, and the assemblies of the parts are right, tha finished product cannot help but be right. In manufacturing the gyro-compass all of the thousands of big and little parts undergo the most rigorous test and inspection. They must always register a perfect score in their successive balance and precision trials.
