10 Capital Journal, Salem, Optimism Rules Foreign Delegates to Golden Gate San Francisco, April 21 yP) The big-four nations sponsoring the San Francisco security conference are expected by diplomats here to keep a firm control over amendments to the Dumbarton Oaks proposals for world organization. But many changes are due to be made with the agreement of the Big Four. The con- . ference opening next Wednes- day will see the first working out of the principle of big pow er responsibility which is to be written into the world organ ization itself the principle that on final decisions the major na tions should at all times concur. Thus it appears unlikely that the United States, British, so viet or Chinese delegations will allow any critical differences to develop among themselves al though in their behind-the-scenes negotiations they may have a tough time reconciling some of their views. , First indications were that a Stocks Advance Irregularly New York, April 21 W In dividual strong stocks, notably rails, persisted in today's final market of a generally upswing ing week but profit cashing con tinued to put brakes on the climbing propensities of many leaders. White gainers of frac tions to a point were plentiful near the close, minus signs were well distributed. Transfers for the two hours were around 600,000 shares. In front most of the session were Pere Marquette, Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, International Telephone, Bethlehem, Hudson Motors, General Motors, U.S. Rubber, General Electric, and National Power & Light. Occa sional stumblers were Boeing, Glenn Martin, International Harvester, Goodrich and Union Carbide. Assorted rail bonds advanced. Commodities were uneven. Preliminary closing Dow Jones averages: Industrial, 163.20, up 0.37; rail, 55.19, up 0.23; utility, 29.84, up 0.04, and 65 stocks, 61.06, up 0.16. Sales were 590,000 shares, the most for a Saturday since March 10, and compared with 370,000 two weeks ago. "Big board" bond sales total ed $6,541,000 against $2,906,000 on April 7 and curb turnover was 137,850 shares against 125, 455 two weeks ago. WheaTMakes Slight Advance Chicago, April 21 U.R)Graln futures moved unevenly in light dealings on the board of trade today. Evening up, short-covering and some mill-buying ac counted for most of the activity. Wheat finished the day up to cent a bushel; corn up Vi to off ; oats off W) to up ; rye unchanged to up , and barley unchanged to off one cent. Wheat moved fractionally higher as milling and elevator Interests turned buyers. The trade looked for cash wheat to continue strong in view of the heavy government ' orders for wheat and flour. The undertone continued firm despite favor able weather and crop reports. Any referendum of three bills passed by the legislature relat ing to pasteurization and fixing standards of milk will be op posed by the state department of agriculture.

Yank Bomber Is Shot Down (P) A B-26 Invader bomber of the Ninth bombardment division plunges earthward somewhere in the European theater after a direct hit by enemy flak has sheared off the left wing. Bombs are still in the bomb bay. The plane was hit seconds before the scheduled release of its bomb load. ,(AP wirepholo from army air forces.) Ore., Saturday, April 21, 1945 spirit of high hope for success in creating a world security system dominates those dele gates who are either already here or on their way. Jan Christian Smuts, South African prime minister and the first major delegate to arrive, said he had "very good expecta tions of the work we will ac complish." "I believe this Is possibly the most hopeful step we have tak en," he told newsmen, "and I feel we must succeed here." Smuts, the only delegate who played leading part in Ver sailles, when the old league of nations was set up, landed at Hamilton field late yesterday after flying across the country in a Royal Airforce plane. The hopeful sentiments ex pressed by the south African leader jibed with those expres sed in Washington by members of the American delegation and in El Paso, Texas, by Foreign Minister Ezequiel Padilla of Mexico, who is enroute here by train.

Fortune in Raising Lily Bulbs on Coast Portland, April 21 (IF) Ore gon's "Gold Coast" In Curry county now yields hitherto un suspected riches lily bulbs which have brought some grow ers $20,000 for one acre, a Port Orford banker said here. John R. Ross said the war had resulted in huge profits on bulbs, which sell for an average of $1 each. Port Orford resi dents are planting lily bulbs Instead of victory gardens in their yards, he reported. Some tinhatters from Port land, foreseeing an end to the shipyard boom, have purchased land in Curry county, Ross said. He stated that Oregon-grown bulbs are now judged superior to the Japanese varieties im ported before the war. Market Quotations Portland Produce Excfaanga Butter Cubt 93 scora 42, 92 scor 42V,c.

OPA May Elevate Strawberry Price Portland, April 21, W) An OPA official hinted Friday that the price might go up on straw berries and the ration points be taken off lambs. Verne Livesay, regional OPA agricultural relations advisor, told a group of growers that "OPA Administrator Bowles as sured me he Is going to keep close watch on the coast lamb marketing situation, so relief can be given in case of an em ergency similar to that of last year." Livestock men, claiming some of the lamb crop was wasted last season, have asked sus pension of lamb rationing on the coast during summer months.. To strawberry growers, who have complained that Oregon Washington prices are too much lower than eastern prices, Live say said, a change in the price regulation was expected before the harvest. The change, he said, would equalize producer ceilings here with those in other sections of the country. Markets Briefed (By the United Press) Stcoks firm, quiet. Bonds firm.

Yoder Farm Home Near Woodburn Burns Woodburn, April 21 The farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Levi Yoder, formerly the Aichcr place, on the Woodburn-Molalla highway, was totally destroyed by fire of undetermined origin about 6 o'clock Friday evening. Mrs. Yoder, an invalid, was carried to safety and approxi mately 60 percent of .the furni ture was saved. The family car parked near the house, was also destroyed. The Woodburn fire depart ment responded to the alarm but too late to save the build ing with the exception of one room, the contents of which were saved. The loss is par tially covered by insurance. Immediately upon the return of the fire department to town they were called to the Murphy home at Scollard station for a chimney fire but no damage was done. It will require 23,000 full and part-time workers to process the 1945 crops of fruits and vegetables according to an es timate by the war manpower commission.

Nazis Forced to Dig-up with Bare Hands Bodies of Prisoners By Robert Vermillion Gardelegen, Germany, April 21 U.RI American soldiers stood guard today while healthy, prosperous nazi party members dug up with their bare hands the hastily-buried bodies o 500 of their former prisoners. These were- the bodies of anti-nazi French men, Belgians, Russians, Poles, and Dutchmen who were burned to death and shot a few hours before the Americans took this town. Then they were dumped hurriedly into makeshift graves. A great majority of the towns people are nazi party members. Most are prosperous merchants. The town looks like any other German town clean streets, Look to Orient Says Wallgren Reno, Nev., April 21 (IP) The western United States, with the possibility of shrinking postwar population and consuming pow er and a huge industrial plant left after the war, must look toward the Orient for markets to keep itself industrially alive, Gov. Mon C. Wallgren of Wash ington said in 'a speech at the western governors conference today. Wallgren assailed tariff walls which grew up during the per iod between the two wars say ing "removal of artificial ob structions is necessary if trade is to flow." He said the disposition of the American merchant fleet of "perhaps 50,000,000 dead weight tons" will affect the west be cause it is to trade across the Pacific. "Our experience with foreign lending following World war I was not happy nor has it been entirely forgotten," he said. "Yet whether we look at this matter from a regional or a na tional standpoint, we need those customers." Gov. Lester C. Hunt of Wy oming suggested in a prepared speech that the commonwealths contribute to a joint advertising fund to promote the postwar tourist industry. Hunt suggested a joint board composed of one member from each state to administer the program. Held W William A. Welles ley, itinerant logger (above), held in Portland in connection with finding of a mummified head and hands near Fort Bragg. Calif., has admitted. Fol ger Emerson, assistant district attorney of Alameda (Calif.) county, said, that he knew the man whose name was Austin Barber. Wellesley denied any knowledge of the slaying which is believed to have occurred two years ago, Emerson added. clean homes, clean people with rosy, plump cheeks. But they could not have failed to notice when the SS troops, aided by the volkssturm, herded the prisoners into a stone barn at the outskirts of the city, Sprinkled gasoline on the straw flooring and set it afire. Some of the fear-crazed vic tims tried to escape by squeez ing under the doors but the guards shot them. The volkssturmers dug a 60 yard long trench behind the barn and dumped 500 smolder ing corpses into it. Arrival of the Americans pre vented burial of all the vic tims. Gardelegan today is filled with hate. Civilian efforts to be friendly are rejected coldly by the Americans. This changed the civilians. They avert their eyes when they pass the Ameri can soldiers. The Americans demand an immediate, correct and respect ful answer to questions and they get it. Each day for six days the Americans have been rounding up groups of civilians and marching them a quarter-mile to the scene of the massacre for a silent sermon. Netherlands Delegate Urges Hard Peace Salt Lake City, April 21, W A Netherlands delegate to the San Francisco security con ference proposed Friday that the Germans be dealt "a hard peace." Nazi forces, said Maj. A. Pelt, by blasting the dikes have per mitted most of Holland to be flooded by seawater. "First of all we must repair the dikes, then get rid of the salt water and then attempt to restore the land," he said in an interview with the Telegram. "It may take many years for the soil to become usable once more." He suggested that Germans in the postwar era be given "a chance to make a proper living but under control." Military occupation for many years is probable, he said. Eola Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Thacker have had the interior of their farm home redecorated and have temporarily moved from their Salem home to Eola for the summer.

Phone 6959 Higher Prices Paid for Wool Boston, April 21 (U.R) Awarding of wool cloth con tracts for third quarter mili tary needs brought extra inter est in the local wool market this week, but on the comparatively higher priced domestic wools manufacturers were reluctant to place bids because of the can cellation clause in the contracts, the war food administration re ported today. The raw wool necessary for the manufacture of the cloth, it was pointed out, must be pur chased four months before de livery is made to the quarter master corps. The price spread between for eign and domestic wools, while narrower, still ranges from 8 to 15 cents, clean basis, in favor of foreign wools, depending on grade. Commodity credit corporation reported unsold stocks on 1943 and 1944 domestic wools on March 31 totaled 278,736,790 pounds, including 247,047,058 pounds of grease wools. Action Urged on Portland's Milk Portland, Ore., April 21 (Un united States public health of ficials today recommended 100 percent pasteurization of the Portland milk supply and great er supervision over milk pro duction. A survey of the Portland milk shed made Feb. 12-21 brought a severe criticism from the federal agency, particularly on market milk. Dr. W. H. Haskell, senior, milk specialist and Archie B. Freeman, sanitary engineer, said their reports showed a marked contrast between the 1945and previous surveys and said "it is obvious that the efficiency of milk ordinance enforcement has degenerated considerably dur ing the past two or three years." Recommendati o n s Included: adequate supervision, change of name of market milk to "un graded milk," adequate train ing of personnel, and complete pasteurization of all milk and milk products. Lebanon Proposes Pool Construction Lebanon A swimming pool for Lebanon may become a reality in the not too distant future if plans of the city coun cil materialize. At- the meeting Tuesday night the public prop erty committee was delegated to secure necessary date rela tive to construction of a pool and to report their findings at a special meeting to be call ed by the mayor. While the necessary proced ure and how soon the pool could be constructed could not be ascertained at this time, this step was considered logi cal toward development of the plan. A landscape architect was recently employed to sur vey the city park property on the canal north of Srant street to lay out a plot for future development of a civic center. Garden Classes List Teachers The Salem victory' garden class, which is meeting each. Tuesday at 8 p.m. in the Fire place room of the YMCA, has completed its third meeting.
