7th Floor Fire in
Frisco Controlled
San Francisco, April 12 0J.B
Firemen quickly controlled a
sudden fire on the seventh floor
of the $2,000,000 home office of
the Bank of America building in
downtown San Francisco today
while a large crowd gathered to
watch flames shooting out of the
windows.
The three-alarm fire, believed
caused by an electrical short
circuit, was confined to one of
fice. Damage was estimated be
tween $40,000 and $50,000.
Employes were ushered out
of the 12-story building on
Montgomery strert between
Bush and Pine streets in orderly
manner. Firemen clambered up
ladders raised to the seventh
floor level. They wore gas
masks to fight their way through
the dense smoke to extenguish
the flames. Four firemen and
and one civilian were injured
slightly.
Chaplin's Primiere
'Monsieur Yerdoux'
New York, April 12 ffi Aft
er approximately five years'
work on his newest picture,
Charles Chaplin was presenting
on Broadway today the world
premiere of "Monsieur Ver-
rioux," a film which takes him
out of his traditional derby,
baggy pants and sideshow cane
to present him as a straight actor
who might rival Adolphe Men
jou. Chaplin, who was in New
York to see the crowds that
jammed his premiere and the
street outside the theater on
Broadway last night, made this
practically as a one-man show.
He wrote it, produced it, direct
ed it. wrote the musical score
and played the leading role.
The story, briefly, is that of
the Bluebeard of Paris, a man
who marries for love and then
murders his brides for money.
Fee on Wool
Imports OK'd
Washington, April 14 UP) In
a move to protect American
wool producers from foreign
competition, the house agricul
ture committee voted today to
empower the secretary of agri
culture to impose a "fee" on im
ported wool and wool products
whenever he found it necessary
in line with the government's
wool support program.
The proposed fee would be
collected by customs officials at
the point of entry. It could be
up to 50 percent of the value of
the imported product.
The committee agreed with
the senate on limiting the com
modity credit corporation's sup
port program for wool to De
cember 31, 1948.
It provided, however, that the
support price for wool should be
at the same level as in 1946,
in contrast to a senate provision
which would have allowed the
CCC to exceed that price.
The house measure eliminates
senate provisions directing the
secretary of agriculture to es
tablish a price for wool compar
able to those of other basic agri
cultural commodities.
Asks Canada to
Join P-A Union
Washington, April 14 UP)
Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich).
of the senate foreign relations
committee urged today that
Canada join the Pan-American
union to complete "total new
world unity."
Vandenberg told representa
tives of the 21 American re
publics he .hopes this tighten
ing of "continental fellowship"
can be accomplished soon.
"The 22nd chair has been
empty long enough," the Michi
gan senator said in an address
prepared for ceremonies com
memorating the 57th anniver
sary of the founding of the
union.
"By every rule of righteous
ness she (Canada) is eligible to
this association," Vandenberg
said. "By every rule of reason
we should wish her here. I
would welcome the final and
total new world unity which
will be nobly dramatized when
the 22nd chair is filled and our
continental brotherhood is com
plete from the Arctic circle to
Cape Horn."
Although In two earlier for
eign policy speeches Vanden
berg said he did not approve
of state department politics to
ward Latin America, the for
eign relations chairman made no
similar reference today.
CIO lo Observe
Phone Pickets
Seattle, April 12 (IP) West
coast members of the CIO-Ame-rican
Communications associa
tion long lines division, have
voted to respect telephone strik
ers' picket lines, President Wil
liam Olson announced today,
and will stop work at 4 p.m
(PST) in Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph company offices.
Olso did not give figures on
the vote, taken last night, but
said "a majority" of the union's
800 long lines men from Bcl
lingham, Wash., to San Diego,
Calif, voted to observe the pick
et lines.
The west coast AGA head said
the action was taken "in sympa
thy with the men who are out,
but by no means in support of
the men who are out, but by no
means in support of the Nation
al Federation of Telephone
Workers."
"We are diametrically oppos
ed to any and all policies of the
NFW," Olson added, "and we
won't profit by any settlement
they might make."
He said his union had sched
uled a meeting with PT & T in
San Francisco at 10:30 a.m. Mon
day to present separate requests
for increased wages and improv
ed working conditions.
If the ACA workers remain
off their jobs for a long period,
press service and radio network
facilities may be affected, Olson
said, and long distance calls cur
tailed further. A company
spokesman said supervisory em
ployes would try to maintain all
leased wire services.

Critics Defied
By Wallace
London, April 14 (U.R) Henry
A. Wallace in a defiant reply to
congressional critics of his Eu
ropean foreign policy crusade
today said "I shall go on speak
ing out for peace wherever men
will listen to me until the end
of my days."
This was Wallace's reply to
Washington demands that he
end his speaking campaign
against President Truman's new
American foreign policy doc
trine. The demand was coupled
with suggestions that Wallace
might be violating American
law by seeking to influence the
policy of foreign governments
toward the United States.
In a statement issued in reply
to the Washington critics, Wal
lace said:
"Those who propose to take
action against me betray their
present slate of mind. Only if a
state of war existed could I be
accused of giving aid and com
fort to an enemy. I recognize no
enemy and know of no state of
war... .... . . .
"I have mentioned my attitude
of opposition to loans for mili
tary purposes only incidentally
in Britain. It is the American
congress that decides American
policy not the British public."
Chinese Economy
Again Tottering
Shanghai, April 12 (IP)
China's economy, strengthened
by drastic government measures
in February, showed signs of
weakening today.
Prices rose sharply in Shang
hai and other cities. Chinese
authorities showed concern over
the recrudescence of black mar
ket dealings in gold bars and
United Slates currency, banned
under the February orders. Ac
tivities of speculatorsushed the
value of stocks to unprecedented
levels.
Prices declined in Canton,
where money was so tight that
some usurers charged 500 per
cent a month for loans.

U.S. Wide Open
To Air Attack
Washington, April 14 UPi
The United States its wartime
aircraft detection network all
but dismantled is virtually
wide open to a surprise attack
from the air.
An unofficial survey indicat
ed this today, following the dis
closure last week of a docu
ment dealing with war depart
ment thinking on the national
security effects of the atomic
bomb.
That document, prepared pri
marily for congressional use,
commented that present day
methods of delivering an ato
mic attack are limited to long
range bombers or bombs smug
gled in by agents. Rocket deliv
ery is something to be reckoned
with in the future, the paper
said.
Questioned by a reporter con
cerning the aerial assault the
ory, officers assigned to the de
velopment and employment of
defense weapons emphasized
that the greatest problem would
be the detection of any attack
ing force in time to get fighter
aircraft and anti-aircraft guns
into action.
During the war the seacoasts,
borders and interior of the
country were covered by a tie
in radar network which delect
ed the approach of aircraft from
any direction and plotted its
course as it moved inland.

Snell Vetoes
Tax Exemption
Gov. Earl Snell has vetoed
house bill 469 which would have
liberalized corporations' exemp
tions on receipts from subsidiary
firms under the corporate ex
cise tax law. stating the bill
might have the effect of invit
ing the location of subsidiary
plants in other states.
The bill would have raised the
required holdings by parent cor
porations from 30 to 50 percent
of the subsidiary's stock in order
lo qualify for exemption, and
would have included foreign as
well as domestic subsidiaries un
der the law.
In vetoing the measure. Gov.
Snell pointed out that corpora
tions can adjust their ownership
m subsidiary stocks to conform
to the present law.
"This proposed law might
benefit to a greater extent a
very few corporations in our
stfltc, but I am convinced it
would penalize to a considerable
degree a far greater number,"
he stated.
"Instead of encouraging de
velopment and expansion of cor
porations within our slate, this
plan might well invite the loca
tion of subsidiary plants and
corporations in other states."
Gov. Snell approved bills
which increase from 5 to 10 per
cent the state highway revenue
granted to cities and raise the
salary of Arthur Benson, clerk
of the slate supreme court, from
53600 to S4200.
Gromyko Raps
Aid to Greece
Lake Success, N.Y., April 14
ipi Russia charged today that
the Truman administration was
trying to conceal the "unilateral
character" of the Greek-Turkish
aid program through a be
lated effort to stamp it with
"the trademark of the United
Nations."
In a sweeping attack on the
Truman program, Andrei A.
Gromyko, Soviet deputy foreign
minister, told the security coun
cil that the amendment proposed
in the U.S. senate by Sen. Van
denberg (R., Mich.) only "un
derlines the unilateral charac
ter of the proposed aid."
"This amendment even pre
judges in what way the security
council and the general assem
bly must vote if they want to
lake a decision," he said.
Gromyko referred lo Vanden
berg's proposal that these U.N.
organs could call a halt to the
aid program when, and if, the
U.N. was able to supply the
needed aid itself.
"This can be explained only
by the fact that the United Na
tions is ignored," he continued.
Gromyko spoke after Albania
had voiced an objection to the
$400,000,000 American aid pro
gram. Finlinson fo Head

Gehlhar Talks to Farm Union '
On Making Free Enterprise Work
Mt. Angel. April Id "Free Enterprise and How to Make It
Work" wasjhe title of the talk by Max Gehlhar at the ManASi
County Farmers Union quarterly convention held in St. Mary'i
school at Mt. Angel in an all-
day session Saturday. Gehlhar
declared that "free enterprise
originated in the Garden of Eden
when Adam, on behalf of all
future mankind, turned his back
on social, economic and moral
security; chose freedom of
choice between right and
wrong, or free enterprise. To
make free enterprise work, it
must be modified by the Golden
Rule so that the free enterprise
of one individual or group does
not transgress on the freedom
of enterprise of another."
Gus Schlicker and Mrs. Ber
tha Sprangcr. county president
and secretary, conducted both
sessions of the convention. The
credentials committee, Mrs. John
Cornwall. Woodburn; Mrs. Wen
dell Barnett. Gervais; Mrs. Leon

Coal Output
Back to Norma!
Washington, April 14 fU.R) -
The nation's soft coal produc
tion moved back toward normal
today as John L. Lewis' United
Mine Workers streamed back
to the pits in force after two
weeks of almost general idle
ness. Still hanging over the coal
fields, however, was the threat
of another strike on July 1
when the government must re
turn the mines to private man
agement. Lewis has served no
tice he will refuse to sign a
private contract unless it in
cludes the health and welfare
fund in his government con
tract.
Th latest work stoppage be
gan as a week of mourning for
the 1 1 1 victims of the Ccntralia,
111., mine disaster and went
through the second week as
"safety" strike which most of
Lewis 400,000 miners obeyed.
In signalling today's back-to
work movement, Lewis told his
men to report for duty where
ever "there is reasonable ground
lo believe . . . the mines have
been placed in safe condition."
The order permilted reopen
ing of all the 2,531 government
held soft coal mines except for
1450 still awaiting safety clear
ance by federal inspectors. The
other 108 closed by Secretary of
Interior J. A. Krug as "hazar
dous" have passed inspection
for reopening.

5 School Zones
(Continued from Page 1)
From and after January 1,
1948, all powers and duties vest
ed in a school district to levy
tax will be transferred to the
rural school district board. The
board shall examine and audit
budgets of the several school
districts, shall have power . to
approve or reject, increase or
reduce any item or amount in
the budget which, however, is
to be no less than 75 cents per
pupil. All budgets will be con
solidated, a levy determined and
this uniform tax rate shall be
applicable in all districts. If
any district is dissatisfied, it
shall have the power within cer
tain limits, to levy a special tax
by a vote of its qualified elec
tors. Under the law Jor the first
year expenses for the rural
school district board are to be
paid out of the general fund
of the county.
Power to Levy Tax
After that the board Itself has
power to levy a tax for its own
expenses against the districts
involved. With the duty of ex
amining every school board bud
get in the 94 districts it was in
dicated the board may have
to employ experts and assistants
which will make such levy run
into quite a sum, unless the
five unreimbursed school board
members wish to take the time
to pry into the 94 respective
budgets on their own hook.
