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

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."

Wheat Shows
Easy Undertone
Chicago, May 21 (U.R) Talk
of heavy tenders on May con-
tracts exnirlnff timnrrnw led tn
a late break on the board of
trade today.
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.

Meat Markets
Closing Down
'By the United Preaj)
Carving knives lay idle in
kitchen drawers through the
U. 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.

For Rev. Alford
Funeral services were held
this afternoon at the Clough-
Barrick chapel for Eugene Clair
Alford, 78, well-known Meth
odist minister and lecturer in
geological circles, who died at
his home on route 4, Saturday
following an illness of three
months.
Born in Sioux City, Iowa,
Rev. Alford received his educa
tion in the east, studying for the
ministry at DePauw university.
In 1887 he was married to Ethel
May Piggott and a few years
later they came to Oregon to
make their home. He held var
ious pastorates in eastern and
southern Oregon and then at
Jefferson, Dayton and Indepen
dence. Beginning the study of geol
ogy first as an avocation, Rev.
Alford became known for his
lectures and writings on the
scientific and religious fields of
thought on that subject. He
was the author of two booki
"The Desert," published about
three years ago, and "Scientific
Studies in Genesis," now in the
hands of a publishing company.
Retiring from the ministry
some time ago he had made his
home on route four, Salem.
Mrs. Alford preceded him in
death in 1933.
Surviving are two daughters.
Mrs. Aggie B. Larson of Bend
and Mrs. L. Glee Gear of Lake
Grove; three sons. E. Clair Al
ford of Portland, Max L. Alford
of Salem and G. Dewey Alford
of Hollywood, Calif.; nine
grandchildren and two great
grandchildren. The Rev. Joseph Knotts affi
ciated at the services and inter

etery. 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."
