had children and one of them
with eight children, were in the
group that Tuesday and Wed
nesday moved into the two re
cently completed courts at the
unit. Twenty out of the 24 that
yesterday took their belongings

have been homeless, the remain
der of that group of 24 were
Willamette university students.
Seventy-two of the units, 32
of them no-bedroom apartments
and 48 of them two-bedroom
units, are now occupied by vet
erans. The remainder of the
apartments, which it had origin
ally been planned to complete
early in September are still un
finished with construction held
up by lack of wallboard, roof
ing and suspended chimneys.

assist the manager, Joe Hopkins

Top Grade Cattle
Break Price Record
Chicago, Aug. 21 W In the
first session since livestock pri
ces were announced as recon
trolled, effective Friday, top
grade cattle leaped to another
new record of .$28.40 a hundred
pounds live weight.
This was up 50 cents from
yesterday's peak, the record for
a day. Chief strength came
from sharp eastern buyer de
mand on the scarcest supplies
in years. As they did when
OPA price control was in effect
before June 30, big packers
pulled out of the market almost
entirely.
However, average good and
lower grade cattle went in the
opposite direction.
2 Pilots Killed
In Plane Crash
Moline, 111.. Aug. 21 Wi Pi
lot Captain James Steen and
Co-Pilot Marvin Fox of a char
tered plane were killed and 10
passengers were injured, none
seriously, early today when the
craft crashed a mile south of
the Moline airport while at
tempting to make an emergen
cy landing.
The two crew members were
thrown out of the plane. Steen
was instantly killed and Fox
died shortly after being taken
to Moline Public hospital.
Two babies among the pas
sengers were unhurt.
Passengers said one of the
plane's two engines caught fire
about 50 miles from Moline and
that the pilot shut It off and
headed for the airport. He cir
cled the field three times, the
last time only a few feet from
the ground.
The plane was over the run
way on the last round and when
the pilot gunned the engine a
wing dipped and struck the
ground. The impact split the
plane in half, hurdling some of
the passengers to the ground.
Among those aboard tho
plane was Richard Crow, Fall
Creek, Ore.

Building Wanted
For New Industry
An industry that will employ
at least 25 persons once il is
established is badly in need of
a building in which to operate,
Clay Cochran, manager of the
Salem Chamber of Commerce
said Wednesday. The concern
needs two to three thousand
square feet of floor space, either
all on one floor or scattered
over two or three.
The location need not neces
sarily be central, In fact, the
operator would prefer to locate
out of the high rent zone. How
ever, water and sewer connec
tions must be available. The
proprietor will enter into a long
term lease contract for a build
ing already in existence or with
someone who will construct a
new one suitable for his line of
Industry.
Persons interested in provid
ing housing for the man who
has moved his family to Salem
should contact the Chamber of
Commerce.

passenger plane arriving from
Chicago and two men in a pri

ting simultaneously at the tail
and nose of the little craft. Tay

nd to taxi in by the control
tower," he said. "I don't know
where that little plane came
from."
Witnesses said the small plane
was "chewed to pieces" at both
ends but its cockpit remained
intact. The propeller of the
trainer put a dent in the trans
port's nose.

Wives of GIs
In Japan Angry
Tokyo. Aug. 21 Wt Eight
angry U.S. army wives called
on the colonel today and com
plained about living conditions
at their Quonsct hut village,
known as Palace Heights al
though there is neither a palace
nor heights.
The wives said they had put
up for their two months In
Japan without plumbing, screen
doors, mattresses or carpets be
cause they understood they
would have to live there only
until permanent units were fin
ished. Then what happens but they
see in the army newspaper Stars
and Stripes this morning that
dependents arriving in Septem
ber would go into the new hous
ing units and they would stay in
their Quonset huts.
So thev say they are "tired of
having rank pulled on our hus
bands" who are all captains or
lower grade, and they go off and
call on Col. R. P. Thompson, ex
ecutive officer for the head
quarters and service group.
Thompson heard their beef in
private and "it was not a very
happy meeting." said Mrs. Ruth
Williams, formerly of San An
tonio. Texas.
Thompson came out of the
meeting and said some of the
complaints were justified, that
these were the fault of the Jap
anese contractors, Japanese la
borers. Japanese materials and
a Japanese manager who was
sacked last week.
The wives said they were go
ing directly to Maj. Gen. Paul
J. Mueller, General Mac Ar
thur's chief of staff, to complain
about the "injustice of assigning
better housing to late arrivals.'
Ceilina Prices
(Continued from Pnce 1)
If this procedure is adopted,
officials added, It may be sev
eral days before retail ceilings
are re-invoked.
In allowing milk, butter and
cheese to remain ceiling- free,
the board cautioned:
"If (prices for) dairy prod
ucts move upward from here on
out, this board can and will put
the industry back under con
trol." Board Chairman Roy L.
Thompson said in a radio ad
dress explaining the decisions
that retail milk prices have
climbed an average of three
cents a quart since ceilings lap
sed July 1, and that two cents
of this Increase "just made up
for subsidies" which were dis
continued at the same time.
As for butter, Thompson said
the subsidy was about 15 cents
a pound, and added:
"When you add that 15 cents
to the prices you were paying
under ceilings in June, I think
you'll find the present prices
are not far out of line. . . .
"I am not saying, of course,
that there were not several
cities where distributors tem
porarily took advantage of the
situation. And we are aware,
too, of the fact that much but
ter was dumped on the market
in the hope of cashing in while
there was no price control."
On grains, the board held
that no ceilings should be re
stored on wheat, rye, corn, oats,
mixed feed oats, barley and
grain sorghums, or any live
stock or poultry feed made en
tirely from one or more of the
basic grains.
