Donaugh Raps
Liquor Board
Portland. Ore., Oct. 19 (U.B
Carl C. Donaugh, democratic
candidate for governor, Friday
night in a radio speech here
assailed the state liquor com
mission as a "one-ring circus."
If he is elected, the liquor
commission members will not
be reappointed, he said.
Donaugh referred to Ray Con
way, commission administrator,
as "cracking the whipe and run
ning tie show."
He charged that the liquor
commission "has gone into the
merchandising business in a big
way, bu with poor merchandis
ing methods and frequently in
ferior merchandise."
Ha said that conditions tes
tify that the liquor commission
has not been following the Knox
law injunctions to promote tem
perance and to creat a sensible
administration of liquor sales.
Discussing the purchase two
years ago by the Oregon and
Washington liquor commissions
of two Kentucky distilleries, Do
naugh quoted Leslie Scott, re
publican state treasurer, to the
effect that the distillery pur
chase "was engineered to cheat
the federal government out of
excess profit taxes" from dis
tillery owners.
As to the investigation or
dered by the 1945 legislature, he
said, "whitewash or no white
wash, the purchase of a dis
tillery was no credit to the state
of Oregon."
Food Bought in
Free Market
Washington, Oct. 19 (IP)
American housewives are now
buying food on 90 percent
"free" market, the OPA esti
mated today, and their own
thriftiness is the last barrier
against runaway prices.
They are making headway in
the fight against inflation, re
ports indicated. A downward
trend in prices was noted in
most food and commodity mar
kets after a brief-lived tendency
to reach the skies.
In addition, many retail stores
were advertising their intention
to keep prices down as far as
their costs permit.
Less than a week after Presi
dent Truman's action signalling
the end of most controls, the
OPA calculated that approxi
mately 35 percent of the items
in the average family basket
have been freed from ceilings
since last Tuesday.
It figured the average budget
expended 30.5 percent on meat,
2 percent on fats and oils, and
2 percent on coffee. All these
have now been decontrolled.
Previously, about 45 percent
of the nation's food items were
still under OPA ceilings thus
leaving only 10 percent in the
restricted class.
Meanwhile, the OPA moved
ahead in its program to junk a
great majority of war-time
curbs by November 1 with the
notable exception of those on
rents, automobiles and refrigerators.

termined on the 114.1422ft net taxable
estate oX Henry H. Kioeping,
it would like to undertake. The
list names towns and cities
where the department believes
federal construction would be
justified. Before the war the
government spent $65,000,000
to $70,000,000 in constructing
such buildings throughout the
country, planning one in each
congressional district each year.
It prepared a new list, last
year but congress decided time
was not ripe for such construc
tion. The department thinks
the annual appropriation, when
congress decides to resume con
struction of federal buildings,
will run up to $200,000,000 or
more throughout the nation. The
construction is done by the fed
eral works agency.
To get on the list a town in
Oregon must have postal re
reicpts of $10,000 a year or
show that its present facilities
are no longer adequate. There
have been no new postoffices
constructed since 1940 though
some under way were finished
after that date.
On the list the post office de
partment prepared for congress
last year Portland led the Ore
gon cities in the number of
buildings with a federal office
building and postoffice to cost
$6,060,000, a main postoffice to
cost $1,900,000 for additional
larid, site and buildings, a fed
eral office building No. 2, site
and building, $5,300,000 and
$50,000 for court house remod
eling. Among other Oregon towns
listed for new postoffices were:
Canby $85,000, Dallas $105,000.
Independence $85,000, Lebanon
$95,000, Molalla $85,000, Mon
mouth $85,000, Mount Angel
$85,000. Silverton $95,000.
Stavton $85,000, Sweet Home
$85,000. Toledo $95,000, Willa-n-.ina
$85,000 and Woodburn
$85,000.
The department said all of
the towns would be on the new
list unless the postal receipts
have dropped below $10,000 an
nually. Burglars Taken in
Strenuous Chase
Portland, Oct. 21 (IP) Two
youths charged with burglary
were captured in the early
dawn yesterday after they had
squeezed through barred win
dows, scaled high ledges, slid
down elevator cables and dodg
ed gunfire in alleys.
Detective Lt. Carl Crisp re
ported Robert H. Charboneau,
18, and a 14-year-old compan
ion were on a second story ledge
of an office building when they
set off a burglar alarm. As po
lice searched the roof, the boys
slid down elevator cables in
side the building and dashed
into an alley.
Gunfire halted Charboneau
but his companion was arrested
at his Vanport home where he
was in bed.
Police said Charboneau was
wanted in a robbery in San
Francisco where he admitted
he escaped police by shinnying
down the understructure of the
Golden Gate bridge.

Factory Jobs
Show Increase
The number of factory work
ers in Oregon increased 12.3 per
cent during the first half of this
year, or double the national gain
of 6.2 per cent, the state unem
ployment compensation commis
sion said today.
Oregon's industrial jobs in
creased from 105.601 to 118,576
from January to June.
The expansion occurred in
spite of a reduction in shipyard
employment, from 14.813 to
7719 during the period. Lumber
and logging firms accounted for
most of the gain, rising from
42,173 to 54,275. Food process
ing plants increased from 16,495
to 20,931.
Employment by all firms cov
ered by stale unemployment
compensation reached 273.317 in
June, a gain of almost 12 per
cent since January. Among non
manufacturing firms, construc
tion was the leader, advancing
from 12,290 to 17,718 jobs in the
first half of the year.
The commission said contin
ued seasonal demand for work
ers indicate that employment
now has reached an all-time
high for any peacetime year.

Prospects of Chinese Peace
Brightens as Negotiators Meet
Nanking, Oct. 21 (U.R) Chinese communist leaders arrived In
the capital today to enter into another round ot peace negotiations
as a third party mediator predicted "a better than even chance"
for success. Communist Gen.
Chou En-Lai and members of
his parly Were greeted on their
arrival from Shanghai by Gen
eralissimo Chiang Kai-Shek.
Two hours later, Chiang and
Mms. Chiang took off for a four
or five-day visit to Formosa.
Well-informed Chinese sourc
es said the visit had been plan
ned three weeks ago and that
it had no political significance.
Chiang had intended to leave
yesterday but stayed over an
other day at the request of Gen.
George C Marshall.
Chinese sources added that
Chiang was prepared to return
to Nanking on four hours notice
if sufficient progress is made in
the negotiations and that he can
issue a cease fire order from
Formosa if necessary.
Before leaving, Chiang held a
45-minute meeting with U. S.
Ambassador J. Lcighton Stuart.
Meanwhile, Dr. Sun Fo, presi

military slntus quo of Jan. 13
and if they will accept Chiang's
eight-point proposal listing his
conditions for a cease-fire pro
posal. Storm Damage

& Telegraph company, said ap
proximately 200 telephones
were cut off by the wind and
rain. Seventy-five percent had
been cleared early Monday and
it was expected the balance
would be back in service with
in a few hours. Long distance
lines were little affected by the
storm.
Henry said that such a storm
as swept the city uncovered in
stances of trouble that had been
developing over a period of
weeks.
Out at the veterans' housing
project the mud holes that
have not dried-up since the
first rain of the fall grew big
ger and new ones made their
appearance with the downpour.
By Monday morning the dirt
streets had a considerable
amount of slush but because
constant use had packed them
solidly cars were still able to
get to all of the units though
they had to do a bit of maneu
vering to miss the big holes.
City Engineer J. H. Davis
said, however, that progress is
being made In grading and
graveling in the project. A
dulldozcr will be at work some
time during the week.
Here and there about the city
storm sewers were clogged with
leaves, walnut hulls and other
vegetation debris caught in
streams that overflowed the
gutters, but these instances of
trouble were scattered and no
serious condition had develop
ed as far as reported to the en
gineer's office Monday. A crew
from the engineering depart
ment worked about four hours
Sunday clearing up the clog
ged spots.
Levy Suit Included
Among Dismissals
Included in dismissals of nine
suits against Oregon meat deal
ers brought by the OPA in fed
eral court in Portland is one
against Harry M. Levy, proprie
tor of the Midget Market, Sa
lem. The dismissals followed
an argument by Herbert C.
Hardy, attorney for the defen
dants in which he pointed out
that the order to decontrol meat
would make the injunction
sought "an empty gesture."
No objections to the dismiss
als were made by Miss Cecelia
Gallagher, attorney for the
OPA, but she asked that find
ings of fact be made in each
case for information of the of
fice of economic stabilization.
The complaints wore over a
year old and charged violation
of price regulations by paying
over ceiling prices for live cat

Mac Defends
Policies in Japan
Tokyo. Oct. 19 (IP) A spokes
man for General MacArthur de
clared tonight that Ambassador
George C. Atchcson, Jr., had
been "grossly misinterpreted"
by those who said his recent
remarks to the allied council
meant the United States had
adopted a new or relaxed pol
icy toward Japan.
At Wednesday's meeting of
the four power council, the Rus
sian delegate asked for Infor
mation on what the Japanese
government had done about
violations or violators In Japan's
April elections.
Atcheson replied Instantly
that the elections were free,
clean, honest and orderly and
that the Japanese government
could be proud of that fact.
"Japanese aims have become
virtually identical with allied
aims," he said.
W. MacMahon Ball, the Brit
ish member, declared those re
marks could be viewed as "ex
pressions of cordiality and con
fidence toward the present
Japanese government."
A few hours before tonight's
statement from MacArthur's
headquarters, both MacArthur
and Atcheson -were shown a
New York Herald Tribune edi
torial that attacked Atcheson's
statement.

Didn't Swallow Nail
Seattle, Oct. 21 (U.B Frantic
parents and two doctors finally
broke down 3-ycar-old Michael
Lui's story yesterday but it
took an X-ray machine to do it.
Michael, playing in the base

dered, found a box of nails. A
few minutes later he ran to
his mother holding his tummy
and choked out:
"Mommy, I swallowed a
nail."
Rushed to hospital, the boy's
eyes widened as doctors wheel
ed up gadgets, and an X-ray
machine hummed.
Technicians scanned the fin
ished plate. There was no nail.
