Traffic Tie-up For Portland Portland, March 27 (P) The possibility of a transportation tie-up in Portland April 1" in creased today as the Portland Central Labor council stepped into the Portland Traction com pany wage controversy. The council asked the city to reconsider its refusal to allow the company to raise fares to 10 cents. The company said money for a wage increase could come from no other source. The present fare is three rides for 25 cents. H. L. Thompson of the street car employes added that the unions do not care to work aft er April 1 without a contract. He said, however, that if nego tiations could be started and any increase be made retroactive to that date, the unions would continue work. The unions seek a 25-cent in crease to $1.50 an hour. Hospital Drive Starts May 25 Frank Wedel, manager of Sa lem Deaconess hospital, said Wednesday that the building fund campaign for the hospital will begin on or about May 25. "When we realize," said Mr. Wedel, "that our two Salem hos pitals, with their combined total of 184 beds, are attempting to serve an area in which live at least 125,000 people we can see why they have become so con gested. According to national standards we should have a minimum of 562 beds in both Salem hospitals. "Considering these facts, the general public can understand why we are forced to turn peo ple away every day who are in much need of hospital attention. A successful campaign will nec essitate the participation in work and giving of a large num ber of people. It will also take a large amount of time from our business people, but we believe that our citizens will make these sacrifices in order that the peo ple of Salem will have proper hospital facilities in time of need. Our present waiting list shows many people have waited from five to six weeks before they could be admitted. These facts are seldom appreciated Un til some member of the family suddenly becomes ill and applies for admission to one of the Sa lem hospitals." Soft Wheat Prices Tie All-Time High Portland, Ore., March 27 (U.R) Soft wheat prices stood at an all-time record high here today following Tuesday's posting of $2.47 a bushel bids at the Port land grain exchange. This price tied the all-time high set July 15, 1920, and compares with the high bid of $2.30 a bushel post ed at the exchange the same day last week. The bid price today was $2.45 a bushel. Other grain prices continued strong today and millfeed con tinued to rate a broad demand at around $49.50 to $50 a ton. The demand here for flour was slow because of current high wheat prices. Most bakers and wholesalers made large pur chases at the start of the wheat price boom and most quarters are pretty well protected for the next several weeks.

Fail to Avert Phone Strike Washington, March 27 (P) The government, its wartime powers to seize strike-bound in dustries fast running out, found itself in the role of peacemaker today in the gathering telephone crisis. A walkout by 287,000 mem bers of the National Federation of Telephone Workers is sched uled for April 7, the day after Easter and there are prospects that some radio network pro grams as well as many telephone services may feel the effect of the strike if it materializes. Direct management-union ne gotiations are stalled over the principle of industry-wide bar gaining. The independent NFTW wants to negotiate its ten contract de mands, including a $12 weekly pay increase, on a nationwide basis.

Fish Export Controls Lifted Seattle, March 27 (U,R) Hea vy export of Pacific northwest canned fish to the Philippines was anticipated today following announcement by the U.S. de partment of commerce that ex port controls on all canned fish will be removed April 1. Removal of controls means that export licenses will no lon ger be required by collectors of customs for clearance of shipments abroad, according to Philip M. Crawford, acting re gional director of the depart ment here. Industry spokesmen, howev er, indicated that several fac tors would reduce total volume of exports. Included among these were smallness of the last pack, government requirements and home consumption. "In addition, few countries have the hard cash to pay for imports," one industry execu tive said. "Sweden recently clamped down on import con trols and it remains to be seen whether these will be perma nent." t Switzerland was cited as an other market for northwest canned fish.

Pespentla, who watched one of the fiery crosses light up the countryside, said two men were reported seen near one of the flaming reminders of Ku Klux Klan days. But he said there had been no disturbance, aside from anxious calls from frightened residents. The officer said the crosses were about 15 feet high and had been wrapped in gasoline-soaked burlap. No investigation was planned. But it was believed the crosses might be linked to the one burn ed last Saturday night in Raw lins, Wyo., about 100 miles east of here. Rawlins residents faid they saw white-sheeted figures set it afire. Students Tell Aid Of Scholarships Three Willamette university students who have been recip ients of Salem Rotary club scholarships told of their activi ties and opportunities provided by the university during Wed nesday's luncheon of the Rotari ans. They were Mary Jane Park er, a senior who is majoring in chemistry, Betty Zo Allen and Carl Jorgenson. The latter is a freshman who is majoring in physical education. All agreed that a school with a smaller student body such as Willamette provides greater opportunity to become acquainted not only with the faculty but with each other. Jorgenson told of the univer sity's athletic record, Miss Allen discussed the many extra cur ricular activities and Miss Park er dwelt upon the academic work. President William H. Baillie named R. L. Elfstrom, Roy Har land and William L. Phillips as members of the nominating com mittee and asked them to make their first report April 16. The election is scheduled for April 30.

W.M. 79 Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon, Gray Market for Douglas Fir Plywood Raises Prices 300 Percent New York, March 27 W) Attacking a "gray market" which he said had obtained nearly a third of the national output of Douglas fir plywood for resale at prices ranging to 300 oercent ot csiaunstieci levels, Lawrence Ottinger, president of United States Plywood corporation, to day urged buyers to deal only with regular jobbers and deal ers. Ottinger said co-operation of purchasers appeared to be the sole hope for solving what he termed a "very disturbing" sit uation. Even if domestic demand for this plywood should weaken, he said, the export market would absorb the entire production of the industry for some time. U.S. plywood is initiating' an advertising program to advise its customers to consult lcgtti mate dealers before placing or ders, he disclosed. Operating in the "gray mar ket" are dentists, chiropractors, gasoline stations and others, all selling plywood at "exceedingly high prices," Ottinger said. Three principal sources of supply, have been uncovered, Ot tinger said. He estimated there has been an annual diversion of 315,000,000 feet of plywood through the pre - fabricated housing industry; 130,000,000 through the practice of trading logs for plywood, and 50,000, 000 from over-supplies of the material in such "primary" mar kets as Seattle,. Portland, and Tacoma, Wash. Under gove r n m e n t orders channeling 5 0 percent of the product of plywood mills to the housing industry generally, he said, around 465,000,000 feet were delivered to pre-fabricators last year, while he estimated their actual consumption at about 150,000,000. Expiration of these federal priorities March 31, Ottinger said, will permit manufacturers to "carefully scrutinize orders from pre-fabricators," with a possibility that agreements not to re-sell the material may be inserted in contracts. Highway Fund (Continued from Page 1) "If you give the cities all the money that has been requested you will find that this money will not all be spent on streets but some of it will be expend ed for general purposes." This position was supported by Senator Fatland who held that the counties faced a more serious financial situation, due in part to the necessity of pro viding for. welfare programs. "We are passing legislation that will require the counties to levy a tax for welfare, a levy that will certainly reflect in the counties tax structure, he said Cities are not required to put up money for this purpose." Ties Defeat Proposals Senator Chessman asked the committee to approve a motion under which the committee would approve the allocation of the money that would be derived from the two bills providing ad ditional revenue could be pro duced. After motion had been put and defeated because of tie votes, Senator Sladelman walk ed in, the situation was briefly explained to him, after which Senator Balderree put forward a motion to amend the bill to provide 10 per cent to the cities and 19 percent to the counties. Senators Chessman, Balderree. Winslow, and Stadelman voted in favor of the motion and Mc Kay, Fatland, Hilton and Gib son voted against it, thus the deadlock was broken. The mi nority senators announced that they would not put in a minority report but would simply "not concur. Vote on Bills The senate roads and high ways committee members who voted today for the increased amount were Sens. Merle Chess man, Astoria, former member of the highway commission; W. W. Balderree, ' Grants Pass; George C. Winslow, Tillamook; P J. Stadelman, The Dalles; and C. H. Zurcher, Enterprise. Opposing any increase were Sens. Douglas McKay, Salem. chairman of the committue; An-1 gus Gibpon. Junction City; Ern est R. Fatland, Condon; and Frank H. Hilton, Portland. Wesley T.

Thursday, Mar. 27, 1947 17 - Green Light Given Railroad Washington, March 27 (U.R) The interstate commerce com mission today declined to per mit further delay in the re organization of the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad. It ordered managers of the road to go ahead under a capitaliza tion of $155,000,000. The plan of reorganization, twice approved by the supreme court, provides for payment of only 10 per cent of the general bondholders' claims and no pay ment of the claims of preferred and common stockholders. A petition filed with the ICC on Monday asked for further de lay pending passage by congress of a bill to ease bankruptcy reg ulations for railroads. The pe tition was signed by William V, Hodges, Denver, and F. C. Nico demus, Jr., New York, as at torneys for the Rio Grande. The commission noted that the board of directors of the reor ganized .company "terminated the services" of these attorneys on March 7. The ICC said their petition brought up no ques tion involving legality of the plan. It ordered the reorganiza tion committee to go ahead with security issues and other fea tures of the plan.
