Fir, Hemlock
Lumber Prices
Upped March 5
Average Increase of
$1.10 a 1000 Board
Feet in Ceilings
Washington, Feb. 21 MV-OPA
today announced an average In
crease of approximately $1.10 a
thousand board feet in mill
price ceilings for Douglas fir,
western hemlock and true fir
lumber, effective March 5.
The agency ordered a read
justment of prices which it said
will increase ceilings on some
of these items and reduce them
on others.
S Percent More Profit
The readjustment, OPA ad
ded, will give mills a profit
three percent greater than at
present, and an approximate
average realization of $40 per
1000 board feet on Douglas fir.
OPA said the new price regu
lation is designed primarily to
stimulate production of lumber
needed for home construction.
It added that the measure will
not increase costs to builders
and home owners, since "the
margins of retail distributors
are ample to absorb the increase
to an extent which will hold
the average level of price to
that existing before the in
crease." New Order Provides:
1. Increases ranging from $2
to $10 per 1000 board feet for
basic grades of lumber used in
home construction, except for
common boards.
2. Elimination of premiums
for special grade and grain spec
ifications which OPA said were
seldom charged before the war
"but which have been charged
considerably during the war."
These premiums ranged from $1
to $6 per 1000 board feet. OPA
said elimination of them will
largely offset the price increas
es granted in basic construction
grades.
3. Lower ceilings on some
items not used in construction
which are cut from the same
part of the log as certain -construction
items, such as floor
ing. 4. Other changes in prices de
signed to bring them in proper
relationship to peacetime de
mand. 5. A scaling down of ceilings
for off-standard fractional
widths and thicknesses.
Explanation Given
Explaining the new regula
tion, OPA said that before the
war clear grades of Douglas fir
normally were cut into flooring,
ceiling and siding for use jn
construction of homes. During
the war, the agency added, these
grades were needed for ship
decking, pontoon lumber, and
for other war requirements.
As a result, OPA said, exist
ing price ceilings made the cut
ting of wartime items more prof
itable. The new regulation incorpo
rates these changes:
Dimension An increase of
$3.50 per 1000 board feet on all
grades No. 3 and higher. Stress
and grade premiums of $1 to
$6 per 1000 board feet are elimi
nated. (Concluded on Pafce 13, Column 5)
Chinese Youths
Riot Over Reds
Chungking, Feb. 21 OI.B
More than 10,000 students and
1,500 professors and teachers
from 17 schools struck today in
a demand for immediate with
drawal of Russian troops from
Manchuria.
Bitterly charging the Russians
had violated the Chinese-soviet
friendship treaty, the students
hoisted banners saying, "We
won't hesitate to fight another
war."
This was the first time since
the Japanese seizure of Man
churia in 1931 that a patriotic
movement had developed among
students on such a scale.
The students issued a "mani
festo to the world" setting out
their opinions on the Manchu
rian situation.
These stipulated that Russia
strictly carry out terms of the
treaty; opposition to any new
Russian demands beyond the
treaty; immediate withdrawal
of Russian troops: return of ma
terial looted from Manchuria;
strict observance of cease-fire
terms in Manchuria by the com
munist party and that the gov
ernment announce actual condi
tions in Manchuria.

A-Bomb Secrets
Fully Guarded
Says President
Washington, Feb. 21 .VP)
President Truman told his news
conference today that security
measures In this country are
adequate to protect secret mili
tary information. He added that
these measures have been ade
quate in the past and he thinks
they still are.
Secretary of State Byrnes said
on Tuesday that as far as he
knew the United States still re
tained the exclusive know-how
regarding the manufacture of
the atomic bomb, although Brit
ain and Canada cooperated on
the bomb project.
Replying to reporters' ques
tions about disclosures that cer
tain secret information in Can
ada had leaked to Russian
sources the president said Cana
dian Prime Minister MacKenzie
King told him first about the
investigation in that country.
This was before the November
meeting in Washington on
atomic energy between the pres
ident, MacKenzie King and
British Prime Minister Clement
Attlee, Mr. Truman said.
No Comment on Plot ,
The president would not com
ment on reports that justice de
partment agents were investi
gating activities of foreign
agents in this country.
Another reportei reminded
the president that sometime ago
he said he did not "share the
unholy fear of Russia" which
the reporter said some people
held and asked whether he had
anything to say on that in view
of recent disclosures. .
The president replied no com
ment. Mr. Truman said he had not
read and therefore would not
comment on a speech to parlia
ment by Sir Harold McMillan,
former member of the British
conservative cabinet, in which'
McMillan said that cooperation
between the big three was vir
tually in abeyance.
Loan to Russia
He replied negatively when
asked whether he planned to
asK congress tc approve a loan
to Russia. But the president
added that the possibility of
such a loan was not excluded.
In reply to another question,
Mr. Truman said United States
British policy with respect to
Russia did not come up in his
recent conference with Winston
Churchill, former British prime
minister. He said the talk con
cerned only their visit March 5
to Fulton, Mo., and Churchill's
speech at Westminster college
there.
Trainmen Call
On President
Washington, Feb. 21 (U.B
President Truman today inter
vened personally in an attempt
to avert the threatened nation
wide railroad strike by the Bro
therhood of Railway Trainmen
and Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, both independents.
He scheduled a noon confer
ence with BRT President A. F.
Whitney and BLE President Al
vanley Johnston, presumably to
urge them to utilize fully the
peaceful procedures of the rail
way mediation act to settle
their wage and rules dispute
with the major carriers.
The 300,000 members of the
two unions are completing a poll
favoring a strike to enforce de
mands for $2.50 a day pay in
crease and important rule chan
ges. Under the railway proce
dure, the next step would be to
set a strike date and for Mr.
Truman to appoint an emer
gency board. Appointment of
the board would force delay of
the strike for 30 days.
Russia Asserts Canadian
A Bomb Expose Unfriendly
London, Feb. 21 VP Russia said today its representatives had
obtained "insignificant . . . secret data" in Canada and its press
accused the Canadian government of using the espionage expose
lor "an unbridled anti-soviet
campaign."
The Moscow newspaper Prav
da, organ of the communist
party, charged editorially that
Canada made the statement to
distract attention from the "po
litical failure" of British For
eign Secretary Ernest Bevin at
United Nations assembly meet.
A Canadian spokesman com
mented in Ottawa:
"The soviet statement started
out as an admission of guilt suf
ficient to cause the withdrawal
of its military attache, and
then proceeded to minimize the
whole matter and sought to
make political capital by imput
ing the motives of the Canadian
government."

Open Mutiny in
Indian Navy
Erupts in Battle
Bombay, Feb. 21 (U.R) Mu
tinous Indian seamen barri
caded in Bombay's Castle bar
racks hung out the white flag;
and offered to "negotiate" to
day after an official an
nouncement that strong Brit
ish land, sea and air reinforce
ments were en route to put
down the mutiny.
Bombay, Feb. 21 Mutiny in
the ranks of the Royal Indian
navy erupted in bloody violence
today, prompting a threat by
Vice-Admiral John Henry God
trey to put down the insurrec
tion at all costs, even the de
struction of the fleet itself.
"A state of open mutiny pre
vails, in which the ratings (sail
ors) appear .to have completely
lost control of their senses,"
Godfrey said.
Mutinous sailors seized con
trol of several ships in the Bom
bay harbor and fought a pitched
battle with British and Indian
troops around the Castle bar
racks in the center of the city.
Godfrey, commander of the
Royal Indian navy, broadcast a
stern warning from Bombay
headquarters in the face of the
spreading mutiny.
Battle of Barracks
Godfrey said the government
was determined to use its over
whelming forces "to their utter
most, even if it means the de
struction of the navy of which
we have been so proud."
The government, Godfrey
said, will "never .give in to vio
lence." He told the mutineers
that it was "the height of fol
ly" to continue the struggle.
Tentative reports on the bat
tle of the barracks, where a
band of sailors were barricaded
and holding out against besieg
ing troops, said at least 20 per
sons had been wounded. No
authoritative casualty report
was available.
Four Days Rioting
The sailors have been riot
ing for four days after strik
ing for faster demobilization and
better service conditions. Up
risings spread to Karachi and
other points in India.
Mutineers seized control of
several' riavy ships in the Bom
bay harbor and gave dockwork
ers a 10-minute ultimatum to
get out. The dock workers fled.
Another large group of sail
ors barricaded in the Castle bar
racks, fought an hours-long bat
tle with troops summoned to
subdue them. .
Military pickets drove the
sailors into the barracks at bay
onet point last night. During
the night the mutineers broke
into the armory, armed them
selves and built log barricades.
The mutineers posted men
with machine guns along walls
of the barracks and opened fire
on the army guards. More than
500 British and Indian soldiers
were rushed up as reinforce
ments. Truman Backs
Pauley to Limit
' Washington, Feb. 21 'IP)
President Truman said today he
intended to back Edwin W.
Pauley to the limit in his fight
for confirmation as navy under
secretary. The president told his news
conference he usually backed
any man he was for, when ask
ed whether the suggestion of
Senator Stewart (D., Tenn.) that
Pauley should withdraw would
change his attitude.
A reporter, repeating a ques
tion that has been asked of the
president at two previo"us news
conferences, wanted to know
whether Mr. Truman intended
to withdraw Pauley's nomina
tion. The president gave a flat
no.
"Does that mean that Pauley
will have your full support if he
insists on fighting it out?" a
reporter pressed.
. The president replied that
when he gets behind a man he
usually stays behind him.
Pauley, meanwhile, brushed
aside demands that he ask Mr.
Truman to withdraw his nomin
ation. Lancaster Strikers

Mayor Asks OPA for
Probe of Salem Rentals
Mayor I. M. Doughton, by direction of the city council, today
sent to Walter A. Durham, rent director of the Portland district
office of OPA, a letter asking for an investigation to determine
whether federal control of rents in Salem is feasible. Another
development in the Salem rent and property value picture is
preliminary organization of
Home and Property Owners as
sociation, with a starting mem
bership or indicated members
representing some 250 housing
units which hopes to forestall
OPA rent control. J. F. Ulrich
and Ed Piasecki are temporary
president and secretary of the
organization.
Mayor Doughton's letter to
Mr. Durham was directed in a
city council resolution Monday
night and goes in to the OPA of
fice regardless of a request from
the opposing group that it not
be sent. Mr. Durham said Wed
nesday that the city council's
action would doubtless carry
great weight with the OPA in
deciding whether ah investiga
tion inould be made here, but
that opposition also would be
sounded out and considered.
Should the OPA decide that an
investigation is warranted the
Portland office will request the
regional office in San Francisco
to ask the bureau of labor sta
tistics to make the survey.

Bevin Peaceful
Toward Russia
London, Feb. 21 U.R For
eign Secretary Ernest Bevin
told commons today that he
could conceive of no circum
stances in which Russia and
Britain would go to war.
He said his belief in friend
ship with Russia was so great
that he would like to see the
20-year Anglo-soviet pact ex
tended to a 50-year term.
3evin spoke after Anthony
Eden, his predecessor, told com
mons that Russia wanted to col
laborate with America and Brit
ain, but aparently only on her
own terms.
Bevin addressed commons
amidst open acknowledgment of
deterioration of Anglo-soviet re
lations to near the crisis stage,
aggravated within the last 24
hours by charges and counter
charges growing out of Russian
acquisition of certain secret in
formation in Canada.
"It is said we are drifting
toward war with Russia, or
are likely to," Bevin said. "I
cannot conceive of any circum
stances in which the soviet and
Great Britain would go to war."
"I cannot see what we have
to fight for, and it never enters
my mind."
Shotgun Squads
Crimping Crime
Portland, Feb. 21 OT Chief
of Detectives James Fleming
credited the new roving "shot
gun squads" today with putting
a crimp in the city's crime wave.
The squads, touring the city
during night hours, ' have sim
ply made crime difficult," Flem
ing said. "The mental handicap
alone of never knowing when
one of these cruising squads
might show up has been a strong
deterrent to crime."
The best accomplishment, he
said, has been preventing crimi
nals from action by picking
them up on charges of "after
hours" a city ordinance which
enables police to arrest anyone
out late at night.

Port Tie-up at
Portland Looms
Portland, Ore., Feb. 21 (IP)
Threat of a tie-up of all cargo
loading in the port here was seen
today after the waterfront em
ployers association issued an ul
timatum to cargo checkers that
officers of the CIO affiliated
union said they would ignore.
A loading dispute originated
a month ago between the super
cargo and checkers' union ,and
the American Hawaiian Steam
ship company over the number!
of checkers to be hired for two
ships. The Amarillo Victory has
since departed without its
Portland cargo, but the Boise
Victory has been berthed since
Jan. 27 waiting cargo.
R. E. Ferguson said the wa
terfront employers association
he manages set 5:00 p.m. to
day as a deadline for the check
ers union to either work ships
as directed or arbitrate their
grievances according to their
contract. Otherwise, he said, the
waterfront employes would can
cel jts contract with the check
ers union.
Union spokesmen said such
action would probably precipi
tate a general tie-up.
R. J. Wolf, president of the
checkers' union now affiliated
with the International Long

union, said the situation was
complicated by a change of af

John L. Lewis today called a meeting March 11 of the United
Mine Workers policy committee the body which has authority
to reopen the union's contract with soft coal operators and
transit workers voted to end their 16 day walkout at Lancaster,
Pa., which had snowballed into a general AFL sympathy strike
call.
These were the day's major developments along the labor front;
1. Lewis made no announcement of his Intentions after a day
and a half of conferences with his district presidents. The present
VMWA contract expires April 7 provided either side gives notice
to that effect within 30 days prior to that time.
2. Bus and trolley operators at Lancaster ratified a union-management

wage Increase. The strikers originally had demanded 20 cents. '
3. The CIO United Auto Workers in Detroit reported the union
was "as far apart as we were'
10 days ago" in reaching agree

corporation on the issues of
wages and promotion preference
on a seniority basis.

Boost Output
Of Clothing
Washington, Feb. 21 (IP) The
government is ready to restore
some wartime production con

to ease the acute shortage of
cotton clothing.
OPA and the civilian produc

Officials of the two agencies

for many families.
To assure greater output of
cheaper clothing, the civilian
production administration plans
"soon" to Invoke a wartime reg

mills to turn out certain types
of cotton fabrics needed for es
sential garments. ,
