Newspaper Page Textf ' 14 Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon, Thursday, Dec. 21, 1944 Roosevelt Urges States to Act Speedily on Highway Program Washington, Dec. 21 iPi State and loca'. governments can ," start planning today their projects under the $3,173,250,000 three- year post-war highway program ing in 1915 should give "prompt 'and vigorous attention" to the highway program, President ' Hoosevelt said in signing the measure setting it up. The program, Mr. Roosevelt said, "becomes a challenge to the states, counties and cities which must originate the spe cific projects and get the pro gram ready for construction after the war ends." " Stales would supply $1,500, 000,000 on a 50-50 matching WFA to Buy '45 Wool Crop 'f Washington, Dec. 21 JPi WFA said today it will offer to buy the 1 045 domestic wool r clip at ceiling prices, less al lowances to cover transportation and marketing costs and a serv ice fee. , , The new war food adminis r tration purchase program will , be essentially the same as those in effect since 1943. They are designed to assure growers near coiling prices. Under the same ceilings now in effect, growers received an average of about 41 cents a pound for wool sold to the gov ernment in 1D43 and 1044. WFA has bought 558,000,000 pounds of domestic wool under the programs. Of this amount, the agency has sold about 215, 000,000 pounds, principally for the manufacture of military fabrics. -' Little domestic wool has been going Into civilian garments be cause prices of imported wools have been somewhat lower. Sales of govern men t-o w n e d . wool are made at the ceiling prices. Falls City-Dallas Accident Pay Given Washington, Dec. 21 (Pi Con gress has passed and sent to the White House legislation author izing payment of $4250 to Mrs. Bertha Le Francq of Milwaukie, Ore., as compensation for the .death of her son, Paul Edwin. Paul Le Francq was fatally Injured when an army Jeep .turned over on the Falls Cily highwny December 22, 1043. Le Francq was not in service but had been given a ride in the jeep which was on its way to Camp Adair. An enlisted man, Pvt. Virgil L. Johnsi also was fatally injured in the accident. Santa and the Music Box By I.uciece SynopM..: limits, the ni'de iter's helper, 'Who Iihs won the Miihic Ilnx from the Witches of I'oldrex because II can cure Princess Ruth of On maroon of n terrible sicknes.

The turtle rllnib.s out nf shell. Inms It nn.i,e down, uses n handkerchief fur a sail, and takes off for Hunln land. ChupTrr 16 Santa to the Itesene Snnla and Mrs, Clans were sitting in their little kitchen while all the Santa Land workers stood in the cottage yard talking in low voices. The Princess Kuth was very III and everyone knew that she would die very soon unless she ami led. The little workers were so disturbed they could do nn more work even though (Christmas was almost upon !flicm. "It would be different, " mum bled one lung-eared dwarf, "if all th.il were needed was a small .smile. I could wriggle inv ears and that almost always makes folks lough. It would give the princess a (piarler-ineh smile. 1 am sure but a three-inch smile, never!" "Of course nut!" whispered a pretty fairy with blur and gold wings. "Santa has said that nothing will save her but the Magic Music Box." The brownies and elves and fairies shook their heads in silence. For n lout; while lhcre was no more talking as they huddled together outside Santa s cottage waiting and hoping for sight of the boy returning with the box. Finally, one shouted, "Here he comes' Here he conies!" "At the shout everyone turned and Santa himself ran out from the cottage and stood peering across the snow covered fields The Turtle Arrives ; Bui right away they saw it wasn't Louis hut only an old turtle waddling towards them A wail of dissappointment went lip. Only Santa did not turn away. Ho went up to meet the turtle. . "My old friend," he greeted him. "It's been many, many years since you have been to Santa Land." The 44 state legislatures meet- basis to be eligible for the larger share of the federal funds authorized by the bill. Congress in authorizing the federal contribution did not make an actual appropriation for this purpose. That will come later., Designed partly to help ease possible after-war unemploy ment, the legislation embodies several significant changes in national policy for highway de velopment, Mr. Roosevelt said. He mentioned the authority for designation by federal and state governments of an inter regional highway network. The measure likewise "gives prac tical recognition to the trans portation problem of our cities by extending federal aid to projects in urban areas which will reduce traffic congestion and accidents." he noted. Included were sizeable au thorizations for farm-to-market roads serving rural areas the president said, adding that funds were authorized on a matching basis with the states for at least starting "the huge task of re placing . , . roads on our federal-aid system which are being worn out ... by wartime traf fic." The program calls for the fed eral government and the states to pay $225,000,000 each for each of the three years on the regular federal-aid highway system, $150,000,000 each on secondary, including farm-to-market roads and $125,000,000 each on federal highways enter ing cities. British Open Continued from Pago 1 1 to Archbishop Damask inos as regent. It was staled last night that Premier George Papan dreou had advised the king by message to accept such a re gency. Some cabinet members, however, are understood to have urged the king to oppose such a move. With the extension of the British "island" in the center of Athens, Anglo-American re lief agencies began distributing 60 tons of canned meat to 75, 000 inhabitants in the cleared area with an avernge of 3B ounces going to each recipient at a cost of about five cents. Free soup was distributed to 1 0,000 persons In Athens yes- j terday, but another 1200 planned servings had to be can celled in the late afternoon be cause of sniping. Ihuli;ins "Yes," grunted the turtle, nearly overcome with weari ness. "And I would not have made the long voyage this time had it not been for a message a boy asked me to bring you." Then all gathered around while t he turtle told Santa how Louis had lost both his magic shoes and how the witches cap- ! lured him in the marsh just as j the turtle set sail in his shell. I "I would have brought the j music box myself." he finished, I "but there was not room enough j for it and me in my shell." ! Now indeed all the Santa ; Laud folk were heavy hearted But before any could speak there was a sound on the porch behind them. Turning, they saw the Princess Ruth standing there, the tears streaming down her face, j She ran and threw her arms ' around Simla. "Oh. please." ; she sobbed. "Can t vou save j Louis? " Santa patted the little girl's ! shoulder. "We will try," lie ! promised. Santa turned to the workers. ( "I am going after the boy," he said. ''Anyone who wants to go can climb into the sleigh," Kestue Party Starts i Within two seconds every worker in Santa Land was run ' ning towards the red sleigh. Then, slowly, the sleigh rose into the sky and started off across the great sea, Meanwhile, Louis had been raptured by the three witches. "They tied his feet and hands to ' the marsh grass so that he could ' not run away, "Why don't you let ine go?" j begged Louis for the last time. : "What does it matter to you?" "We are witches," the sist- ers reminded him unhappily. : "If you had no heart you would ! understand why we have to be ;evil even when we don't want to be." i .hist at that moment there was a ro.tring of wind in the north j ern sky and, looking up, Louis ; and the three sisters saw Santa and all his workers riding down i out of the sky. j Tomorrow: The Smoke Screen Market Quotations Portland Fast side Market Demand fsr exceeded supply at 'lie Thursday 'eAAion of (ne farmers whole sale eatide market.

Yank Vets (Continued from Paee V Al the same time other vet eran American units swung inot positions along the north ern flank of the nazi salient. An important success was re ported from the strenglhened north wall along the German salient. Americans who already had won back Monsrhau inside Ger many drove nine mi los south ward and captured Rocherath and severa I nearby villages in an a Mark which cut the neck of the German salient down to 4(1 miles.

Output of Cheese Surpasses Butter Output of American or Ched dar cheese surpassed the pro duction of butter in the first half of 1944 for the first time in the history of records of Ore gon manufactured dairy prod ucts according to figures just re leased jointly by the federal bu reau of agricultural economics and the Oregon state depart ment nf agriculture.

Mose Ex-Senatorr Dies Concord, N.H.. Dec. 21 George Higgins Moses, 75, for mer U.S. senator from New Hampshire and widely known republican leader, died last night al his home. Once described as "the most exciting man in American pub lic life," he served three times in the United States senate. He lost his seat in the democratic landslide of 1932. He had been ill in a Concord hospital for over a year and had i just returned to his home for! the Christmas holidays when ; death came of coronary throm- i bosis. J His widow and his only son, Gordon were with him when he died. During the past few years he had served as chairman of the board of directors of the Rumford Press and had been working on an autobiography. He first went to the United States senate in 1918 to fill the unexpired term of t he late Ja cob H. Gallinger and he soon became widely known for his fearless independence and gain ed a reputation as a shrewd po litical dopester. Moses was president pro tem pore of the U.S. senate for eight years before his enforced retire ment in 19.'i2.
