Ike Says U. S.
Army No Threat
New York, Oct. 31 ) Gen
eral of the Army Dwight D. Ei
senhower says it is "absurd" to
charge that the presence of the
American army in foreign lands
is a threat to any country.
"A few, possibly from sin
cere motives," he told the clos
ing session of the 15th annual
Herald Tribune forum on cur
rent problems last night, "al
lege that this army is a disturb
ing element in the world scene,
terming it a standing threat to
other peoples.
"But the countries against
which it is hinted our army may
be aimed do not need intelli
gence sources to recognize the
absurdity of such charges."
Russian F o r ei g n Minister
Molotov in his talk Tuesday be
fore the U. N. general assembly,
said that the presence of allied
army outside former enemy
countries gave rise to uneasi
ness on the world scene.
Eisenhower decried talk of
war as inevitable, contending
there was "room in the world
for different philosophies of
government so long as none is
dedicated to the forceful impo
sition of its political creed upon
others."
He declared that until the
United Nations developed mach
inery to control "dangerous out
croppings of human weakness
and greed for power, we must
realistically face the need for
military strength adequate to
our times and our positions."

Koehler Claims OPA Act Void
And Marion Not Defense Area
Circuit Judge George Duncan hearing arguments in the case
of Henry B. Koehler vs. E. J. Edmunds, OPA director, and other
OPA officials seeking to enjoin the OPA from setting up a rent
control area in Marion and Polk
counties said as the court took
recess Thursday noon that he
would give no immediate deci
sion at conclusion of the case
but would ask for submission
of briefs so some time may
elapse before the lower court
hands down its findings. Argu
ments in the case were expected
to consume most of the day.
It is up on a demurrer to a
petition and order to show cause
why the OPA should not be en
joined. Howard Bergman and
Francis Harrington. Portland
attorneys for the OPA offered
contentions of the government
that the petition did not state
facts sufficient to constitute a
suit, that the circuit court here
was without jurisdiction cither
over the parties named as de
fendants, or over the subject
matter of the suit. Bergman in
his opening statement called at
tention to probably argunments
of the plaintiff's attorney and
especially touched on the pros
pective everment of that attor
ney that the act under which
the OPA is now operating is in
valid because it was the revival
of a "dead horse." Bergman
cited a number of cases in the
past where such "dead horses"
had been revived and he stated
such action was upheld by the
courts.
Ralph Moody, attorney for
plaintiff Koehler, however, de
clared that in the specific in
stance of the OPA an attempt
was made to amend a dead sta

Truman Studies
Cotlon Crisis
Washington, Oct. 31 iPi Pres
ident Truman took the cotton
price situation "under advise
ment" today, but White House
Secretary Charles G. Ross said
he expects no immediate gov
ernment action.
Ross said at a news confer
ence that the matter is beinc
studied both by Mr. Truman and
Reconversion Director John'R.
Steelman.
Asked whether he expects any
action today, Ross replied: "I
do not."
Opening quotations on the
principal cotton exchanges this
morning rebounded sharply
from the levels which prevailed
prior to the suspension of trad
ing yesterday.
Earlier, Rep. Sparkmnn (D.,
Ala.) had predicted some gov
ernment move, possibly by
nightfall. '
Ross said he did not know
what action may be taken, add
ing that is up to Mr. Truman
and Steeiman.
Before the cotton exchanges
resumed trading after yester
day's shutdown, Sparkman told
a reporter he expected Steel
man to wipe out a 120-day lim
itation on advance pricing by
mills of finished cotton goods.
Top level OPA officials lined
up against any suggestions that
price ceilings be yanked from
manufactured cotton products.
New Orleans, Oct. 31 OPi
Heavy mill buying, entering the
cotton market in the middle of
the morning here today, ad
vanced prices on all futures the
$10 limit of fluctuations for one
day.
The buying was said to be for
price fixing purposes by the
mills.

her daughter. She was born In

years ago.

OPA Agents Can'l
Make Any Arrests
Baltimore, Oct. 31 if) OPA
agents have no more right than
private citizens lo make arrests,
Federal Judge W. Calvin Chcs
nut ruled yesterday.
The ruling, made in a pre
liminary hearing for Samuel
and Morris Chodak, charged
with asking $225 above the ceil
ing price in a used car sale,
directed that "marked" money
and papers the OPA contended
it seized from them last Sept.
12 b3 returned.
Judge Chesnul pointed out
that the offense with which the
Chodaks were charged is a mis
demeanor. "It was not the in
tention of congress to confer
authority on OPA agents to
make arrests" beyond the riiihl
of any private citizen to make
such an arrest.
He explained that a citizen
may arrest in a misdemeanor
only when it Is committed in his
presence and constitutes a
breach of the peace.

Food Market Prices Stage
Antics Like Halloween
It this happened to be April 1, or All Fools day, there might
be a reason for the antics of the food market, but many a prospec
tive customer shook his head in wonderment and suspected the
goblins had been out early by
the way of a pre-Ilallowcen
celebration as he scanned the
price tags on the grocers'
shelves.
For instance, butter was down
five cents Thursday morning
while the price of cheese was
higher. Since both commodities
are derived from milk, the buy
er was a bit confused over the
juggling of costs. One chain
organization quoted butter at 85
cents for a pound or 22 cents
for the quarter pound while
other retail establishments quot
ed the spread as high as 91
cents. "And we have none to
sell at any price," one retailer
admitted. Cheese was quoted
at 67 to 69 cents a pound while
oleomargarine, an extremely
scarce article, brought 45 cents
as compared with 27 a few
weeks ago.
Lard, when it could he found,
retailed at 55 cents while vege
table shortening was quoted at
correspondingly high prices.
However, none of the latter was
displayed on the grocers'
shelves.
And speaking of shortening, a
dearth of doughnuts is very
much a probability. Already
bakers have advanced the price
of the familiar breakfast com
modity. One manufacturer had
advanced the price of cake
doughnuts to 40 cents a dozen
and the raised variety to 45.
At another place the cake type
were being retailed at 33 cents
plain or 37 cents if sprinkled
with sugar.
Most bakers have reverted to
the pound loaf of bread, al
though one large manufacturer
was still turning out the emer
gancy loaf of 14.4 ounces. They
were retailing at the same price
12 cents. The pound and a
half loaf brought 16 cents, al
though one baker complained
that tlie price of flour had gone
up and he thought bread should
follow. He added that there was
little or no stability in the
price of shortening, quotations
ranging from 40 to 45 cents
with none available.
Palestine Arabs
Plan Protest
Jerusalem, Oct. 31 (Ti Lead
ers of Futuwah. a Palestine
Arab army, called for a parade
and mass meeting in the Arab
city ot Nablus tomorrow as ru
mors spread of an Arab uprising
through Jerusalem in the wake
of bombing attacks attributed
by police to the Jewish under
ground. The Arab leaders said speci
fically that this was not to be
a "protest meeting," but other
Arab sources said the parade
was "calculated as a show of
strength." Four British sol
diers were killed and at least 12
Britons and six Arabs were
wounded in yesterday's Inci
dents. Simultaneously, a spokesman
for the Jewish agency said "the
Jewish agency and other Jew
ish authorities will combat with
all the resources at their own
disposal the criminal activitcs
of gangs which not only terror
ize British authorities, but Pal
estine Jews as well."
This spokesman said the per
petrators of bombings and mine
incidents "outlaw themselves
from the organized commun
ily." The Jewish National Coun
cil (Vaad Leumi) endorsed a
resolution of the inner Zionist
council against such outbreaks
