Decree of divorce in the out of Ellen Court News , Snell Discusses Vets' Problems Post-war problems pertaining to the returning veteran and the welfare of the state were dis cussed by Governor Earl Snell at the Chamber of Commerce luncneon Monday noon. Para mount obligation of these is to win the war at the earliest pos sible moment. Federal policies must be taken into . consideration, the governor said, . and there is a definite place for federal-state cooperation which should favor free enterprise and personal in itiative. Whatever remains to be done must point towards a lasting peace throughout the world through political and eco nomical force and if necessary, military might. America is charged with this responsibility, he said. Governor Snell said there must be a unified program of service ready for the ex-serviceman and towards this means he called a meeting of the heads of all veterans' organizations in Portland to create a central agency to provide information. There were 35 of these repre sentatives at the meeting with an executive committee of seven to provide a laison committee, both meeting monthly. Authority for this program was granted by the last legisla ture which set up the necessary machinery along the line of the GI bill of rights. The post war readjustment and rehabilitation committee has outlived a total of $400,000,000 in projects, some of which are tentative only, but so far there is cash on hand of $60,000,000 for this purpose, Governor Snell said. Together with funds for unemployment compensation the total amount available is $120,000,000. Democrats for 18-Year Voting Age Portland.

Ingersoll, former commander in chief of the Atlantic fleet, reads his orders naming him commander of the western sea frontier as he took over his new command aboard his flag ship at the navy yard at Washington, D. C. Layfon Pleads For Clemency Richard Harry Layton, 39, former Monmouth police offi cer sentenced to die December 8, has appealed to Governor Earl Snell for commutation of his sentence to life imprison ment, the governor said today. The governor did not indicate what action he would take, al though it has been his policy not to commute sentences un less a miscarriage of justice is proved. Layton was convicted in Polk county circuit court of the rape slaying of Ruth Hildebrand, 17, Dallas, and he was sentenced -to die in the prison's gas chamber. The crime occurred June 8, 1943, on a Willamette river bank 15 miles south of Salem, and her battered nude, body was found floating In the river 12 days later. Layton had confessed, but in his appeal to the state supreme court, he contended that police tortured him to obtain the con fession. The supreme court unanimously upheld the con viction, and the United States supreme court refused to re view the case. "He eats like a horse and sleeps like a log," Halley said. 4The only time he gets fidgety is when his meals don't arrive on time." Time Against Joe, Declares Dempsey Chicago, Nov. 21 (U.RI Cmdr. Jack Dempsey of the coast guard, former world's heavy weight champion, believes the deadliest challenger Sgt. Joe Louis will have to face after the war Is Father Time. Dempsey, here for a buy-a-bond program, said that .time is always the toughest opponent when a champion lays off and two more years in the army for the brown bomber would leave him far off the championship form that is needed in the hea vyweight ranks. "Army life doesn't help a fighter." Dempsey said. "Louis no doubt will return to the ring after the war. but if he has to wait two or more years a second or third-rater may be able to stop him."

Flood Control Bill Hits Snag Washington, Nov. 21 (TPi Plans for quick passage of a billion dollar flood control bill ran today into an argument over the St. Lawrence seaway rec ommended by President Roose velt . Instead of acting on the bill in a matter of hours prelimin ary to taking up a $500,000,000 rivers and harbors authoriza tion, the senate faced the pros pect of a controversy that might run into next week. The plans were snagged when Senator Aiken (R., Vt.) insisted on presenting his amendment authorizing the seaway. Even as the senate moved toward de bate, Aiken kept his colleagues in doubt as to whether he would offer his amendment for the flood bill or the rivers and har bors measure. Should Aiken hold his amend ment for the latter bill, the St. Lawrence controversy would be removed from the flood control measure, but there would still remain arguments over states' rights, hydroelectric power de velopment, and irrigation as well as several big projects. The house-approved bills call for postwar construction of flood control, hydroelectric fa cilities, harbor works and re lated projects throughout the country a program backed in principle by President Roose velt to create a shelf of public works and jobs. Only recently the president renewed his long-standing re quest for approval of the sea way, estimated to cost from $200,000,000 ty) $400,000,000.

The appointment was con firmed by letter shortly befors Nelson, former WPB chairman, left this country on his second mission to Chungking to create a Chinese war production board, it was ascertained today. The presidential letter noti fied Nelson he would sit in cab inet meetings, and was under stood also to mention another trip in the Pacific on his return from China. This appeared to point to New Zealand or Aus tralia. Beyond this, the note did not go much farther in formalizing Nelson's status than the "Dear Donald" letter accepting Nel son's resignation from strife torn WPB. Mr. Roosevelt then asked him to remain in the gov ernment for "a high post of major importance" in Interna tional economic affairs. For this reason, some friends of Nelson believe the new mes sage to be an interim devics emphasizing Nelson's role as di rect economic envoy between the president and the heads of foreign governments, but prob ably to be followed up by a more precise title and official status.
