OPA Orders 3 Grades of Lamb
Lifted from Rationing Here
Washington, July 21 OT The OPA today ordered three grades
of lamb removed from rationing in western Oregon from next
Monday through September 1. 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

This was a victory for Sena

talking daily at 5 p.m. In the

lamb from rationing. Morse

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.

j Chaplains' Report Berlin
,Most Unmoral City in World
By Charles P. 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

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."

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

were in love to make love. We

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

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.

Five hundred soldiers from

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.
