8 Capital Journal, Salem, New Freight Rates Ordered To Benefit South and West Washington, May 21 Wi The nation's railroad freight bill is being refigured. In a move widely significant to the south and west, the interstate commerce commission: 1. Ordered basic freight rates of those section: except for the far west equal Ized with eastern rail charges. 2. Directed that the nation's carriers simplify rate-making by setting up a uniform system of freight classification for the en tire nation. The long-awaited order, uni versally conceded to be the most important in the commission's 58-year history, was released late Saturday without an ad vance hint. As a result its 204 pages caught railroad represen tatives completely by surprise. Stocks Decline On Profit Taking New York, May 21 Pi Most stock market customers today inclined to cash in on the recent push, and, with scattered excep tions, leaders backed away frac tions to a point or so. Optimism over the outlook for peace-time business still was the principal bolstering influence but the question arose in board rooms as to whether, in view of the rise of the averages to 8 year peaks, the list might have considerable difficulty in going through this contested area. Transfers were around 1,100, 000 shares. Trends were irreg ularly lower near the close. In the losing ranks the geater part of the proceedings were Santa Fe, Southern Railway, Texas Co., U. S. Steel, Chrysler, General Motors, Hudson Motors, Goodyear, U. S. Rubber, Du Pont, Union Carbide, Glenn Martin, Caterpillar Tractor and International Nickel. Intermit tent gainers included N.Y. Cen tral, Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio, Standard Oil (N.J.), con solidated Vultee, American Tel ephone, American & Foreign Power 2nd preferred and Na tional Power. Bonds were uneven. Preliminary closing Dow Jones stock averages: Industrial 165.99 off 0.45; railroad 55.95, off 0.29; utility 31.10, off 0.07; 65 stocks 62.22, off 0.21. Sales totaled 1,080,000 shares compared with 1,430,000 shares Friday. "Big Board" bond sales aggregated $6,610,000 against $9,737,960 Friday. Curb stock turnover amounted to 380,000 shares compared with 420,000 Friday, West Salem Man Jailed at Roseburg Jackson McClure Helton, 25, whq disappeared from his home In West Salem about 10 o'clock last Wednesday night, is under arrest in Roseburg on a warrant from West Salem Justice court charging him with theft of gaso line coupons and money. Helton, who lives on rural route 5, and who operated the Richfield Service station in West Salem, loft his home Wednesday night, saying he was going to the service station on some busi ness. He did not return. Four soldier hitch-hikers who were with Helton when he was apprehended, were relcnsed fol lowing investigation. The Polk county sheriff left for Rose burg Monday to take Helton Into custody. v vv i ' - N A 1 M 'A T" I 'A ti ' l!f;'i) i J . TT I !ii -1he Mansfield, O., May 21 W In the special hallways of Novelist Louis Bromfield's 20-room home at nearby Malabar farm, film land's Lauren Betty (The Look) Bacall and Humphrey (The Leer) Bogart were married shortly after noon today. The' fourth wed ding for the 45-year-old "hard guy" of the screen, and the first for his 20-year-old bride, was a simple one. The ceremony lasted only three minutes. Oregon, Monday, May 21, 1945 They withheld comment pend ing a thorough study. The decision, however, was quickly acclaimed by southern leaders. Gov. Ellis Arnall of Georgia declared: "America may well take notice the south is on its way." The ruling covered these gen eral categories: 1. A nationwide uniform clas sification of rates. At present an article such as a radio might be shipped under one classifica tion in the south and under a different, lower-rate classifica tion in the east. Henceforth, said ICC, a particular article must move nationwide under the same classification. 2. Directed that differences in "class"rates now existing throughout the country be re duced to a minimum, except for the Pacific coast which asked for no reduction. The affect of this order virtually eliminates territorial rate divisions which the south and west contended placed their sections at an in dustrial disadvantage with the east. 3. For this revision the com mission recommended that a class-rate scale approximately 15 percent higher than present first-class rates in eastern ter ritory be established as a base. This will result in higher rates for the east and lower rates for the south and west. 4. Because years may be re quired to make these changes, the commission directed that temporary relief be provided. effective August 30, by increas ing all class rates within eastern territory by 10 percent and low ering all other class rates except those west of the Rocky moun tains by 10 percent. Seattle Black Market Active Seattle, May 21 U.mScattle district OPA officials -charged today that between 30 and 50 percent of all meat sold in the district's 19 counties reached consumers through black mar ket channels. B. J. Fotheringham, food ra tioning executive, said meat supplies were 10 to 10 percent lower than a year ago and that the shorlagc would continue at least until fall. Fotheringham said that while the black market operations were widespread, he did not be lieve they were highly organ ized. He said that farm slaught erers constituted the main "leak" in area meat supplies, op crating "little stump ranches on the edge of cities from which they sell meat to friends or res taurant operators without ask ing for points and at above ceiling prices." Father Learns Of Son's Death Air corps man, whose father last week received word of his death in action was Sgt. Jack D. Smith, son of W. J. Smith of 2605 State street.

Rye, which rose to a 20-year high, broke 7 cents. Other rye and all barley deliveries broke from four to five cents. Rye finished the day off 3Va to 5'8 cents a bushel; wheat was off to 2 Vi ; corn unchanged to off 1Y4; oats off 1 V to 3 cents, and barley off 4 to 5. May rye reversed from an early 20-year peak of $1.47 '.4 as latte reports indicated heavy tenders. Offerings came out on the bulge and prices dropped swiftly. Wheat showed an easy under tone influenced by southwest ern selling, attributed to hedg ing. Interest centered in May, expiring tomorrow, where demand tended to lag and offer ings increased. Firm cash wheat markets reflecting steady mill demand and government flour orders checked the downturn.

S. today as meat dealers reported black market opera tions cutting deeper into dwindling meat and poultry supplies. Lines lengthened before the corner butcher shop. And most housewives considered them selves lucky to obtain meat of any kind or poultry, the next best substitute. About the only beneficiaries of the current meat shortage are the nation's butchers, sud denly supplied with an unpre cedented amount of leisure Many are quitting work after an average four-hour day. There is simply no meat to sell. In Chicago, the meat pack ing center, office of price ad ministration officials estimate that supplies have dropped 50 percent in the past six months. Most markets have adopted a practice of opening only two or three days a week, while others close as soon as the day's supply is exhausted. Almost to a man, the butch ers blame the black market. "A' retailer can get all the meat he wants if he has a high income clientel and will pay the price," one butcher com plained bitterly. In New York, half the butcher shops are closed and showcases in the others are empty despite an enforced ban on meat sales. Ship Repair Men Deferred Washington, May 21 (U.R)Se Iective service today ordered state directors in California, Washington and Oregon to post pone indefinitely the induction of the employes of specific west coast ship repair yards re gardless of age or classifica tion. The step was taken because of the "utmost necessity" of re pairing ships in these yards as soon as possible, selective ser vice said. Names of the shipyards af fected were withheld for se curity reasons. In addition, selective service directed all local boards to consider the shipyard emer gency in ruling on requests of skilled workers to transfer to jobs in the specified yards. Skilled workers whose re quests will be considered are electricians, machinists, instru ment repairmen, sheet metal workers, coppersmiths, pipefit ters, boilermakers, ordnance men and riggers. Selective service said that "extraordinary efforts" are be ing made to recruit skilled workers over 30 years of age and those not qualified for mili tary service to take work In the yards.

Self Defense Rights Upheld San Francisco, May 21 (U.fi) The big five powers submitted to the United Nations confer ence today a plan for linking the inter-American and world security systems without jeo pardizing a nation's right to self defense or the historic principles of the Monroe doc trine. The big five agreement end ed two weeks of controversy and raised official hope of adjournment early in June. The regional solution speci ficially recognizes the right of a state or group of states to act in self defense without prior approval of the world organiza tion. Under the Yalta voting formula for the new league, the United States would always have a veto over any "outside" interference in this hemis phere by the world security council. The agreement acknowledges the world organization as the ultimate paramount authority in all enforcement action. But in case an attack occurs on a member state, it acknowledges "the inherent right of indivi dual or collective self-defense. . until the security council has taken the measures necessary to maintain international peace and security."
