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. ,

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.

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

wheat and flour. The undertone

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.

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.

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

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.

with finding of a mummified
head and hands near Fort
Bragg. Calif., has admitted. Fol

attorney of Alameda (Calif.)
county, said, that he knew the
man whose name was Austin

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.

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.

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.
