Commercial, utility and cull grades are being made free OPA explained, "to prevent the loss of meat which might result If the 'soft' lamb crop in the 'Willamette valley of Oregon were not slaughtered and con sumed rapidly." This was a victory for Sena tor Morse (R., Ore.). It relieved ,him of the self-assigned task of talking daily at 5 p.m. In the nenate about removing such lamb from rationing. Morse .had said he would continue un- Rumors Slow Wool Market ..' Boston, July 21 U.R Do mestic wools continued in very . slow demand this week, reflect lng recent cancellations and de ferment of delivery dates on military orders, along with rumors and denials that resale prices were to be lowered, the war food administration re ported today. Officials in charge of the gov ernment purchase program de - riled the rumors, but a letter sent to Boston wool handlers by a wool trade association, Inti mating that reductions would be made in the fall, or winter, brought buying of domestic wools to a standstill. Some holders of free wools offered, or sold their stocks at clean prices, 5 to 10 cents below previous , offerings. Foreign wool prices, except for a very few scarce types, were easier. Commodity credit corporation stocks of domestic wools, as re ported by handlers on June 16, totaled 285,807,135 pounds against 257,858,323 pounds April 30. Sales during the peri od approximated 41,000,000 pounds. Army Airforce Fighting Fire l Missoula, Mont., July 20 W "The U.S. forest and army air ! force flew 92 missions to the f Meadow Creek area of the Nez Perce national forest in eastern Idaho Thursday and yesterday In what was believed the big gest aerial attack on a single forest fire ever marie. The army flew 52 paratroop ers from Pendleton, Ore., to help .tight a lightning caused blaze, Estimated to be burning an area nf 80 to 100 acres in the rugged limberland, forest service offi cials announced. I The troopers bailed out early 'yesterday morning to augment Iforest service smoke jumper ,:rews already fighting the red lot blaze. Forty smoke jumpers were 'flown In from Missoula. With ;!he aid of the army man and a district crew of 12 which had jiikod in during Thursday night, "forest officials expressed hope 'that the blaze, fanned by high winds yesterday, could be brought under control. The fire nad burned 15 to 20 acres when he paratroopers arrived, the of ' tlcials said. , Ferdinand Magellan record ed that the abaca plant, the ource of hemp, was being grown and used in Ihe Philip pine islands when he visited there early in Ihe 16th century.

Arnot Berlin, July 21 (URi United States army chaplains complained today and GI's were inclined to agree that Berlin probably is the most immoral city in the world. Or, as Chaplain-Captain Luke Bolin of Indianapolis f tnd put it, "Berlin is not im moral simply unmoral." 4 Thousands upon thousands of e Germans are in allied prison ramps, and more hundreds of v thousands have been killed. Ber- lin Is a city of children, old (I men and women especially tl women. o Seven out of 10 persons on a ihe streets are women. Most tljf them are poorly clad, under nourished, and generally unat ;ractive by American standards. Among the troops, the Ber ln women have come to be t icnown as "Easy, but danger- jus." Venereal disease is ram pant in the capital, and in most injf Germany. Bolin, chaplain of the 66th "irmored regiment of the 2nd irmored division, offered this yixplanation: "The nazl doctrine held that woman's only duty was to bear cthildrcn. Years of living under hit doctrine plus the hardships Oregon, Saturday, July 21, 1945 til the OPA acted. Stating that "a number of steps" had already been taken to assure Willamette valley pro ducers a satisfactory market for their lambs, OPA added: "These steps ordinarily would have been sufficient to handle the situation but this year weather conditions have con tributed to the need for an un usually rapid marketing of lamb crop and manpower limitations in federally-inspected plants have prevented handling enough of these lambs through these plants to permit government procurement to take up the en tire seasonal Increase in mar keting." OPA explained that since "soft" lambs are fed mostly on moist grass with little dry feed, "they tend to be of in ferior quality and cannot be shipped any considerable dis tance alive." If marketing were delayed, the agency added, the lambs would deteriorate rapid ly. OPA said that to assure that other areas are not deprived of their share of the national meat supply ' 'during this critical period," the agricultural depart ment is arranging to prohibit the shipment of any lambs into this "area except to federally-inspected slaughter houses from which the army pan take the bulk of the production. The agency estimated the crop of "soft" lambs which will be point free will be more than 75,000 this year. Most of these, it was stated, will grade com mercial and utility, with the balance culls. The western Oregon area af fected includes the counties of Hood, Clackamas, Marion, Linn, Lane, Douglas, Jackson and all Oregon counties west of these. Critic Praises American Press Paris, July 21, lP) Andre Siegfred, French critic, took a look today at American news papers he has been reading them for nearly 50 years, he said and expressed astonishment that they were so good. In a lengthy analysis In the Parisian newspaper Figaro, Siegfried, a member of the French academy, said the Am erican press "has reached ma turity, but without having lost its youth." "Especially It has preserved Is real genius, which is that of a reporter," he continued. "It intereslcd in everything in the way people walk in men's neckties, in their weight." Siegfried, who attended the San Francisco conference, said "even experts and technicians of various delegations (there) needed only to read the news papers daily to keep themselves fully informed of what was hap pening all over the world." The important change in the American press in recent years, the critic said, is the "increas ing degree of interest in foreign politics which has mounted as the U. S. itself became an in ternational power." Kiigcnc Cannery Shy Workers Eugene, July 21 iyri With the seasonal pack of vegtables about lo arrive, Eugene Fruit Grow ersers association cannery today reported lis "worst manpower shortage in history." Manager E. A. McCormick said the num ber of job applicants had never been so low. of the war left these people without any morals at all." A 27-year-old German house wife who was in Berlin through out the war said women's mo rals declined steadily as the food situation deteriorated. "Women became acquainted with troops in order to get more to eat." she said. A 20-year-old girl lold how teen-age boys and girls in Hitler youlh camps were encouraged to "fraternize." She said frank ly that Adolf Hitler "encour aged the boys and girls who were in love to make love. We wore supposed to have babies, whether we were married or not." Bnlin, who has been overseas since November. 1942. and In every big city from Algiers to Berlin, said this one was the "worst of them all worse even than Sicily." Philosophically, however, he added that "I have seen so much immorality that almost nothing disgusts me any more." OPA Protests Lamb Order Portland, Ore., July 21 U.. The regional OPA remained ad amant today on the state-wide lamb point controversy as news came from Washington that Sec retary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson had requested remov al of points on Oregon "soft lamb," giving promise of a lamb-producer victory over the OPA. McDannel Brown, district OPA head, said Oregonians long have enjoyed more meat than has the rest of the nation and that he didn't think the points should be removed to give local people more meat than the rest of the country, and especially when the army needs meat. Meanwhile, E. L. Peterson, state director of agriculture, expressed satisfaction with An derson's recommendation, say ing "That's what we've been asking for." He added that if the recom mendation goes through it will give the grower an outlet for his product.

New Warship Participating Washington, July 21 (P) The navy revealed today that the USS New Jersey, one of Its newest and biggest battleships, participated in the first major carrier air strike against Tokyo and Yokohama last February. The 4000-ton drcadnaught took her big guns along to pro tect other elements of the fleet in the action which began Feb ruary 16. In air thrusts at Japan, the Ryuhyus and against enemy task forces between March 18 and April 13, the New Jersey again was a member of the at tacking group. For a time she served as flagship of task force 58. The New Jersey and her sis ter ship, the Iowa, for which their class is named, Joined the Pacific fleet January 22, 1944, at Funafuti Ellice islands. During attacks on the main Japanese home island of Honshu in March, the New Jersey's anti-aircraft guns shot down four enemy planes. Some were sui cide planes diving on carriers. One plane, a "Zeke," was blown to bits by a direct hit from one of the New Jersey's five-inch guns. Following the February 16 Tokyo strike, the New Jersey moved to Iwo Jima to cover the landings there February 19, where she remained until Feb ruary 21, when r"' returned to join in the February 25 Tokyo strike. Since joining the fleet, the New Jersey has participated in operations against Kwaljalein, Eniwetok, Truk, Mille, Palau and Woleai, Aitape and Ahol landia, Panape, the Bonins and Marianas, Yap, Ulithe and Guam.

Prime Minister Churchill wants to return to London by July 26, in time for the announcement of the na tional election returns, and his associates are reported working toward the goal of concluding the conference in advance of that date. Meanwhile another meeting between Churchill and Premier Stalin was arranged for today. The two met privately at din ner Wednesday, with only their interpreters present. President Truman may pos sibly be insisting that any bar gaining on conference propo sals be predicted upon Russian participation, at least to some extent, in the war against Japan. It is regarded as obvious that he is presenting the Ameri can position as stemming irre vocably from the premise of sav ing American lives. The negotiations here still are clouded by official secrecy, and it is difficult to determine the extent of agreement reach ed thus far. seen gangs of these young Ger mans, armed with notebooks and pencils, going along river banks spying on German girls.

Navy Plans lo Free Oldsters Washington, July 21 fPi About 30,000 older navy offi cers and enlisted men may be released by December to per mit the enlistment and induc tion of younger men. Disclosing this yesterday, the navy said it is considering a point formula for release of old er personnel. If adopted the plan would release 11.600 com missioned and warrant officers and 19,000 enlisted men by the year's end. This would permit the volun tary enlistment and drafting of younger men qualified to meet future needs. The navy empha sized .that the formula under consideration will not be a de mobilization measure since the service's strength will not be reduced below the present au thorized maximum of 3,389,000 which was reached June 30. ror mis reason, the navy said, the formula does not con sider such factors as dependency and combat service which might be included in a demobilization plan. uncier tne lormuia the navy would release upon individual application, or upon resigna tion, certain enlisted personnel and reserve officers who meet requirements. Service age of officers and en listed men would be computed by allowing one point for each year of age figured to the near est birthday and one point for each four months of active duty in the navy since September 1, 1939.

N. Y. Harbor Fights Erosion San Diego, July 21 OJ.R) Un less some program is adopted soon to prevent soil erosion, many sections of New York har bor will be blocked and continu ous dredging will be necessary to keep the harbor open. Rep. James P. Geeland (D., Conn.) said today. Geeland, a member of the house subcommittee on erosion of the rivers and harbors com mittee, is here with the sub committee inspecting the effects of erosion on the waterfronts and beaches of the west coast. We have just completed a tour of the east coast and the Gulf of Mexico' Geeland said "and erosion has taken a ter rific toll there. In New York, the islands protecting the har bor are slowly being eaten away." Geeland said the committee was studying all types of meth ods to prevent further erosion in New York, including the possibility of installing huge jetties. However, he said de tailed study is necessary by en gineering experts. The subcommittee yesterday viewed the south bay area of San Diego bay and the United States naval air station. This afternoon they will inspect La JoIIa and other beach areas. Tomorrow an open hearing will be held, after which the committee will leave for Los Angeles. Their tour will in clude the entire west coast as far north as Seattle, after which two or three of the members will continue to Alaska to study local problems there.
