They will receive the final symbol of their new rank their rings at a secret consis tory tomorrow, concluding week-long ceremonies marked by the pope's world broadcast yesterday in which he called upon his church to become a militant leader in preparing a basis upon which society "can rest securely."

After a week or so, Chairman Barkley (D., Ky.), told a re porter, there will be numerous closed door meetings "and we'll all be working on it." The re port is due by June 1. Barkley added that if the members agree on some general approach, committee attorneys will set to work drawing up some ends of the long senate house investigation into the 1941 military disaster. Public hearings ended yesterday after noon after, almost daily ses sions since November 15. Barkley said each member will be permitted during the next two weeks to draw up questions they want to put to former Secretary of State Cor dell Hull and former Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson. Both have been ill a long time. Stimson has not testified at all and Hull only briefly early in the hearing.

Simpson, executive vice presi dent of the West Coast Lumber men's association, issued a state ment today that "the lumber price amendmen announced in Washington by the OPA is a postwar adjustment to the re quirements of home builders for lumber, and has not been given as compensation for lumber wage increases." He said the OPA is "straight ening out a wartime distortion of lumber prices. It is akin to the cancellation of military lum ber orders after V-J day and other measures for lumber trade restoration. "The new prices for certain essential items or home build ing lumber will encourage west coast mills to take a normal risk in supplying their old friends and customers in the retail lum ber and building construction fields." A ceremonial will be staged when construction work starts on the co-operative apartment court project being promoted on North Church street some time between March 1 and 5, Vance McDowell, one of the leaders of the enterprise, said Thursday. Officiating at the event, he said, would be Douglas McKay. The co-bperative veterans group ex pects to build 30 family hous ing units on the property. De velopment of a similar project on Orchard Heights in Polk county is held in abeyance. The veterans have an option on the property. William A. Martin and fam illy returned to Salem this week after spending two months in Los Angeles. During his ab sence from the city Martin closed his Health Spot shoe store which he has reopened. Ms1 c .' Paul A. Porter New Chief of Price Controls Washington, Feb. 21 VP) The senate today, by unanimous con sent, confirmed Paul A. Porter the new chief of price controls. Only a half dozen minutes of discussion .was required for ac tion. Porter has been chairman of the federal communications commission. Majority Leader Barkley (D Ky.) said speed was necessary because Chester Bowles is leav ing OPA to become stabilization director. Senator Wherry (R., Neb.) expressed hope that accent would be placed on the necessity of getting production of goods which have been scarce. He suggested a "flexible pricing system." Senator Reed (R., Kans.) told the senate he expects "definite improvement" in OPA. Wherry and Reed have been among the most frequent critics of OPA's handling of price con trols. The senate banking committee had recommended confirmation of a short time before, after a brief hearing. Porter told the senators, each of whom seemed to have some special cause for OPA to un dertake, that "every effort will be made to speed consideration" of cases in which there are com plaints that OPA causes business men to lose money. Rent Control (Continued from Page 1) The new Home and Property Owners association expects to affiliate with the Home and Pro perty Owners of America which, according to Mr. Ulrich, is affil iated with the National Associa tion of Real Estate Boards. In brief, the local organization pro poses to control rentals and val ues of its members by voluntary action and without federal inter vention. It will have a board of directors of seven members, each representing some phase of property ownership, including the lumber industry, hotels, the aters and housing, and one mem ber will represent veterans. Further, the organization pro poses to have several qualified appraisers, and claims available at present five appraisers who are war veterans. Values etb lished re expected to reach rent als of both residence and busi ness property, and if necessary, sales values. To quote from the minutes of the meeting held Wednesday: "Assessed valuations of prop erties should be kept in line- and it should be the function of this organization to level this matter. Some properties are too high, some too low. A fair valua tion to be taken into considera tion in this respect instead of a blanket raise on assessment val uations, for once the valuation Is raised it would be a very dif ficult problem to have it lower ed. It is very probable that we will see a decrease in valuation of properties." Attending the preliminary or ganization meeting were: C. H.

Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon, Thursday, Feb. 21, 1946 13 OPA to Ask Rent Survey If Community Wants It If the district office of the OPA in Portland decided that rentals in Salem ought to be investigated in a formal manner it will ask the regional office in San Francisco to have the bureau of labor statistics to make the survey. This information was received Wednesday from Walter A. Dur ham, rent director for the Ore gon district office. The Portland district office, said Mr. Durham, will make this request if it is felt there is suf ficient desire in the local com munity that the survey be made. "We prefer," said Mr. Dur ham, "to see the local com- Gabriel Talks To Rotarians Annual ladies' night was ob served by the Salem Rotary club Wednesday with Joseph Gabriel, of Hollister, Calif., dis trict governor, principal speak er. Guests were present from other clubs In the district as well as presidents of other ser vice clubs. Each lady was pre sented with a corsage. Cardinal points of the Rotary creed were emphasized by Ga briel, district governor and member of Rotary for 21 years. Growth of the organization from a single club in Chicago 41 years ago to 5800 clubs in 60 na tions was stressed. Efforts are being made to revive clubs in Germany, banned by Hitler, and also to establish clubs In Russia, which, he said, was the only nation at the San Fran cisco conference which does not have Rotary. Robert L. Elfstrom, president of the club, was toastmaster and Dr. George Peavy, Corvallis, district governor, presented the speaker. Mrs. Josephine Albert Spaulding gave several vocal numbers with Arthur Hay lead ing in group singing. Senior Scouts Get Attention Senior scouting came in for considerable impetus this week as a number of evepts were pro grammed throughout Cascade area council. Tuesday night at the First Presbyterian church Explorer Post No. 17, sponsored by he junior Chamber of Commerce, held a dinner meeting when nine new boys were inducted during a candlelight ceremony. Dr. Robert Lantz of Willamette uni versity was the principal speak er, discussing "Young Men's Re sponsibilities."

The boys are Alvin Adolf of Dallas; John Thomp son, Elmer Klienke and Rich ard Easton, Salem, and Bob Schaschtsick of Stayton. Charles E. Miller, Lumberman, Dies Roseburg, Ore., Feb. 20 VP) Charles Edward Miller, 54, pres ident of the Young's Bay Lum ber company here, died sudden ly at his home today of a' heart ailment. Born in New York City, he had been prominently identified with the lumber "industry of Oregon for the last 35 years.

In other words federal control is the last resort." Asked if the resolution adop ted by the Salem city council directing the mayor to com municate with proper federal authorities requesting an inves tigation to see if rent control is feasible would be sufficient ex pression of the local desire, Mr. Durham said it doubtless would have great weight. He added that the opposition to control would be sounded out before a request went in to the regional office. Mr. Durham was contacted with the assistance of Miss Mary Johns of the group and com munity service of the OPA who is in Salem today. Both Mr. Durham and Miss Johns said the Salem situation had been called to the attention of the Portland office prior to the Capital Jour nal's expose. Mr. Durham Is the man to whom Mayor I. M.
