Realtors Hear
Murphy Talk
The selling of real estate is
big business, Claude H. Murphy,
real estate commissioner for the
state of Oregon, asserted Satur
day night preliminary to the
installation of officers of the
Salem Board of Realtors during
their annual banquet at the Mar
ion hotel. Murphy estimated that
the money involved in the trans
fer of ail types of real estate
constituted a volume of money
equal to that of the sale of farm
products and forest products
combined. These latter involv
ed more than $500,000,000, ac
cording to the latest figures.
The banquet, the first since
the close of the war, attracted
more than 200 persons from
many parts of the valley. Sec
retary of State Robert S. Far
rell, Jr., presided as toastmaster
and called on a number of per
sons, including A. D. Newman,
president of the Oregon Associa
tion of Real Estate boards of

Marshall Back
In Chungking
Chungking, Jan. 21 ttl.Rl Gen.
George C. Marshall returned
here from Shanghai today and
Chungking newspapers said
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek
had appointed him special ad
visor to the committee studying
reorganization and nationaliza
tion of the Chinese government
and communist armies.
Marshall's aide said no formal
notice of the new appointment
had been received as yet, but it
was expected shortly.
Meanwhile, Communist Lead
er Chou En-Lai informed the
people's consultative assembly
that a tentative agreement had
been reached to reduce the na
tionalist armies from their pres
ent strength of 4,830,000 men to
1,800,000 men by June 30, and
to cut the communist forces
down to 400,000 men.
Sporadic fighting between
communist and nationalist
troops was reported continuing
in the north in violation of the
truce agreement but both sides
were said to be trying to re
store peace. An order issued by
the joint communist-nationalist
executive headquarters in Pei
ping directed both armies to
cease firing and return to the
positions they held at midnight
on January 13, the effective date
of the truce.
Manufacturer Asks
Public's Opinion
Portland, Ore., Jan. 21 U.R)
In what is believed to be the
first time in Oregon history a
manufacturer is asking the pub
lic rather than the retail store
buyer just what it thinks of the
company's wares.
This novel query is in the
form of an educational exhibit
in a hotel here Monday and
Tuesday by the Portland Wool
en mills, which is displaying its
latest blankets and woolen ma
terials for all to see.
The show was arranged by
R. B. Ambrose, vice president
of the company, who declared
the company wants to know
what women want to buy. Brief
questionnaires will be handed
out to each guest on which she,
or he as the case may be, can
fill out preferences in styles,
weiglrts, colors, sizes, etc.

House Group
OK s USES Bill
Washington, Jan. 21 IIP) The
house labor committee approved
legislation today in line with
President Truman's recommen
dation that the United States
employment service remain un
der federal control until July 1,
1947.
The vote to send the measure
to the house floor was 13 to 3.
Mr. Truman, in December,
vetoed legislation calling for
cutbacks of over $50,000,000,
000 in appropriations and spend
ing authorizations, because con
gress had tacked on a rider call
ing for the USES transfer,
sought by many state adminis
trations, within 100 days.
Before voting to report the
bill embracing the president's
proposals, the labor committee
defeated 9 to 6 a bill by Rep.
Dirksen (R-III.) which stipulat
ed that USES be returned to the
States in 30 days.
By a tie vote, 8 to 8, the com
mittee also defeated a bill that
would have put USES under
permanent federal control.
Rep. Randolph (D-WVa.),
acting chairman, announced
that the committee will act to
morrow on a bill enbodying Mr.
Truman's proposal for handling
the nation's labor troubles. This
measure proposes the setting up
of fact-finding boards, cloaked
with subpoena power.
Dennis to Learn
Fate Thursday
Andrew W. Dennis, Portland
railroad worker who is sched
uled to die in the state prison
gas chamber next Friday morn
ing for slaying his mother-in-law,
Mrs. Anna Belle McNalien,
probably won't learn his final
fate until the eve of his execu
tion, Governor Earl Snell said
today.
The governor said it would
take him until Thursday to com
plete his study of the case, and
he then would announce wheth
er he would commute the sen
tence to life imprisonment.
The state supreme court,
after acting Gov. Howard C.
Bclton had "denied clemency,
saved Dennis a few weeks ago
on the night before Dennis orig
inally was scheduled to die. The
court, finding that no death war
rant existed, sent Dennis back
to Portland for resentencing,
thus giving Dennis time to make
a new appeal to Governor Snell.
Governor Snell went to Port
land today to confer with Edwin
D. Hicks, attorney for Dennis.

take him to Florida. Plans for
that are quite tentative."
If such a trip is taken, Ross
added, it will be in advance of

Fulton. Mo., March 5 to intro
duce Churchill for a speech at
Westminster college.
Amendments
To 0 & C Laws
County Judge Grant Murphy
who attended a meeting of rep
resentatives of Oregon & Cali- i
foruia land grant counties in
Portland Friday stated that a
report was made on proposed
amendments to the federal sta
tutes covering distribution of
proceeds from the grant lands.
The amendments proposed are
being worked up by lumber and
county governmental interests.
Under the law as it stands, he
states, the proceeds are distrib
uted by the government on a
basis of 50 percent going to the
counties, the distribution being
made according to the percent
age of timber land that was in
each county at the time the
Stanfield act went into effect 25
percent for administrative pur
poses, and the other 25 percent
for liquidation of the grant
made to the counties under the
Stanfield act. The bill now be
ing prepared would provide that
10 percent of the gross receipts
go toward reforestation and fire
patrol of the lands, 45 percent
to the counties, 22'a percent for
administrative purposes and the
other 22 percent for continua
tion of the liquidation of the
original grant to the counties.
Judge Murphy stated the mat
ter is still in its initial stages
and has not been presented to
the Oregon delegation in con
gress although it is understood
that Senator Cordon will prob
ably endorse it.

automobiles were prowled.
Emmel L. Gilmer reported to
police that some time after mid

In another downtown hotel
the room of Lewis Rose was en
tered and a purse containing $5
taken from his pocket. The
purse, empty, was found later

Tne thefts from automobiles
resulted in the usual missing
hub caps and fender skirts
which seem to be favorite loot
for thieves. Clyde Krigcr, 779
North Cottage, told police that
two hub caps were taken from
the wheels of his auto while it
was parked either at the Capi
tola Skating rink or near the
Paulus cannery.
The automobile belonging to

the car was parked at the time
near the high school.

senate judiciary committee vot
ed unanimously today for an in
vestigation of army and navy
courts martial systems and the
administration of wartime mar
tial law in Hawaii.
Chairman McCarran (D-Ncv.)
who introduced the resolution,

(D-Ill.) before the inquiry can
begin. The ienate also must ap
prove the inquiry resolution.
McCarran said many com
plaints have been received con
cerning asserted injustices un
der the present court martial
systems. Complaints also have
been made, he said, that citi
zens were deprived of constitu
tional rights in Hawaii because
of wartime martial law.
"The inquiry may go into
specific cases or set up a pro
cess for their review," he said.

ceramic tile floors and walls
are in the plan. In each will
be from six to eight toilet bowls
in one section, showers in an

closed. PennsylvaniaSs 300,000
steelworkcrs form the greatest
concentration in cities whose

in swirling snow.
Henry J. Kaiser's steel mill at
Fiontana, Calif., was one of the

Plan to Rebuild
Timber Lands
Washington, Jan. 21 UP)
Faced with a drain on the na
tion's resources under its care
almost equal to the war period,
the forest service announced to
day a long-range plan to build
back Its timberlands and ranges.
Meantime, President Truman
asked congress to provide $3,
000,000 a year for purchase of
private forest lands and to al
low an overall increase of $11),
000,000 In the forest service bud
get. Chief Forester Lyle F. Watls
in a statement today accompany
ing his annual report, says an
"adequate forestry program"
would create an additional 2,
500,000 jobs. Normally, the for
ests, directly or indrictly, he
said, provide about 3,750,000
jobs.
He estimated that lumber
needed for domestic consump
tion In the next 10 years will
average 33,000,000 board feet
annually or about equal to the
wartime demand. Wartime tim
ber cutting, together with losses
by fire, insects and disease, he
said, were about 50 per cent
greater than annual timber
growth, and warned:
"Forest depletion today is so
serious that positive action to
increase growth is imperative If
future employment in forest in
dustries is not to be jeopardized
by lack of raw material."
