Jewish Agency Absent
The official Jewish agency
declared itself absent unless it
is formally recognized.
A spokesman said the Jewish
agency felt it "inappropriate to
attend" until the delegates of
the 55 member nations had act
ed on the agency's request for
official recognition as a non
voting participant.
The U. N. previously had set
aside 20 seats for representatives
of the agency in the observers'
section, but these were left va-
-.cant.
This was the position of the
parties directly concerned:
British Proposal
A British spokesman said
Great Britain, which holds a
league of nations mandate over
, the Holy Land, is ready to ac
cept any decision the United Na
tions makes on the Palestine
question, but will insist that the
world organization enforce all
of its own recommendations.
The Arab league, which is
represented by five Arab stales
in the U, N., announced after a
caucus that it would stand firm
on its demands that Britain end
her mandate and that Palestine
he declared an independent
country at this special sessions
The Jewish agency, official
representative of Palestine Jews
under terms of the mandate
called upon the United States
delegation to take the lead in
advancing its demand for a Jew
ish national home in the Holy
Land.
Jews Rule Out
Period of Truce
Jerusalem, April 28 MP) A
Jewish agency spokesman said
today there was little optimism
among Palestine Jews over the
United Nations' special session
on the Holy Land problem.
"Many are expressing fear
that political interests of the
day will darken the basic issue, '

The possibility of a truce in
the Holy Land while the U. N.
debates its future apparently
was ruled out by Irgun Zvai
Leumi, Jewish underground or
ganization. In a secret broad
cast yesterday Irgun repeated
demands for an end to Britain's
mandated government and mili
ltary occupation. Irgun's an
nouncement said there would be
f"no peace in the country, the
Middle East or the entire world
until the Palestine question is
settled."
Reliable sources said advance
elements of the former British
first armored (mailed fist) di
vision had arrived during the
week-end.
In new security measures
against possible outbreaks of
violence, the British have placed
the U. S. consulate at the nar
row end of a 300-yard barbed

Strike Ties-up Traffic
In Rubber Capital
Akron, O., April 28 (VP) All
public transportation with the
exception of taxicabs was tied
up in this rubber capital of
245,000 today by a strike of
142 AFL mechanics at the
Akron Transportation company.
The mechanics, members of
the International Association of
Machinists, threw picket lines
around ATC shops at 4 a.m.
after rejecting a company-offered
wage increase of more
than seven cents hourly.
Members of the Machinists'
union have demanded a 16-cent
hourly pay increase and "other

Senate Nears
Showdown On
Labor Control
Washington, April 28 (U.R)
The senate headed toward a par
tisan fight today over four
amendments designed to put
more teeth into pending legisla
tion to control labor unions.
Sen. Allen J. Ellender (D.,
La.) said he would ask that all
of them be defeated on grounds
they would increase the chances
of a presidential veto and there
by prevent any labor legislation
at all.
Hopeful of Amendments
Despite opposition from most
democrats and a few senator:, of
their own party, republicans
were hopeful of adding the four
provisions to the labor bill and
giving it a final vote of passage
before the end of the week.
GOP forces expected the
toughest fight on an amendment
which would allow private em
ployers to go directly to the
courts for injunctions against
jurisdictional strikes and sec
ondary boycotts. The pending
bill limits that authority to the
national labor relations board.
Other Developments
Other congressional develop
ments: Foreign relief a barrage of
restrictive amendments, includ
ing one to deny funds to any
"satellite" of Russia, faced the
$350,000,000 general foreign re
lief bill now before the house.
Taxes Two leading members
of the senate finance committee
predicted the group would ap
prove the house-passed income
tax reduction bill with no more
than one major change.
German occupation Sen.
Wayne Morse (R., Ore.) revealed
he may soon ask the senate arm
ed services committee to inves
tigate the American occupation
of Germany. Republican mem
bers of the war investigating
committee tried to institute an
inquiry in the last session of con
gress but failed in the light of
strong state department opposi
tion. -
Farm prices Chairman Clif
ford R. Hope (R., Kan.) of the
house agriculture committee said
the first step in developing a
long-range agriculture program
is to readjust the formula for
determining farm price parity.
Vicar Refracts
Spinster Talk
London, April 28 (Pi A vicar
apologized publicly today for
saying that Britain's spinsters,
deprived of husbands by the
war, should be permitted to
have babies without marrying.
The Rev. W. G. Hargrave
Thomas, 58, issued -this state
ment: "At the last meeting of the
East Suffolk city education com
mittee, during the discussion of
my motion to equal pay for
equal work for women teach
ers, in winding up the debate, I
made a remark to the effect
that those thousands of women
whom the wars deprived of the
possibility of a husband should
be able to assert their rights to
have a family if they wanted
one.
"This statement, together
with its sequel in the press, has
caused many people consider
able distress, which I deeply
regret. I am sorry that I said it
and I desire to withdraw it un
reservedly." The exact number of Britain's
unmarried women was not
known, but the ministry of la
bor, on the basis of 1942 statis
tics, estimated that there were
no 15,257,000 women between
15 and 65 in Britain compared
with 11,331,000 men.
Marshall to Report Tonight
On Big 4 Moscow Meeting
Washington, April 28 (P) American hopes for an easing in
United States-Soviet tensions were buoyed today by reports that
Secretary of State Marshall believes this country's firmness on
European peace treaty lssues-
may lead Russia to give ground
Marshall s views were laid be
fore congressional leaders at a
White House conference in ad
vance of his radio report to the
nation at 5:30 p. m. (PST) to
night on the results of the Mos
cow foreign ministers confer
ence. Some of those who attended
the two hour session with the
president and his cabinet offi
cers last night said they came
away with the impression that
Marshall believes the unbend
ing attitude he displayed at the
Big Four meeting already has
had the effect of making the
Russians less sure of themselves
in their demands affecting the
future peace of Europe.

Court Sustains
OPA Authority
Over Landlords
Washington, April 28 W
The supreme court ruled today
that OPA can bar carrying
through the eviction judgments
three Texas landlords won
against tenants during the June
30-July 25 period last year when
there was no price control law.
The 8-1 decision reversed a
U. S. district court ruling at
Dallas that the present price
control law is unconstitutional
insofar as it does not permit
landlords to take advantage of
eviction judgments won at that
time of no federal law.
Other Decisions
In other actions, the court:
Agreed to review conviction
of 18 Utah residents on charges
of conspiring to advocate plural
viarriage, or the practice of hav
ing more than one wife.
In the past, the court has up
held laws 'against plural mar
riage. The attorney for the 18
contended that in this instance,
however, the conviction was
based on advocating plural mar
riage rather than practicting it
He contended that violated
guarantees of freedom of
speech.
Haupt Conviction
Refused to reconsider its re
cent decision unholding the con
viction of Hans Max Haupt of
Chicago for treason. The case
against Haupt was brought for
alleged aid he gave his son, a
German saboteur who landed in
the United States from a sub
marine during the war.
The younger Haupt was ex
ecuted. His father was sen
tenced to life imprisonment.
The ruling in the Texas OPA
case was 8 to 1. Justice Reed
delivered the majority decision.
Justice Frankfurter dissented.

Rental Areas
Washington, April 28 (A1)
OPA today ordered 28 areas and
portions of 11 others freed from
rent ceilings Thursday as con
gress moved nearer a showdown
on divergent house-senate bills to
extend controls beyond June 30
OPA tagged today's decontrol
order as the last to be expected
before its rent division is trans
ferred on May 4 to the office of
Housing Expediter Frank R
Creedon.
Max McCullough, OPA com
missioner, went even farther
when he told a reporter he be
lieves the directive "covers all
areas I think should be decon
trolled before June 30."
The rent areas decontrolled in
the western states included: Ore
gon Bend area (Deschutes
county).
Washington Grand Coulee
area (portion of Grant county
north of the south line of town
ship 23 north); portion of Port
Angeles-Port Townsend area
consisting of Jefferson county;
and Shelton area (Mason coun

Winter Returns
To Middle West
Chicago, April 28 (fP) Tem
peratures plummeted to below
freezing early today from north
eastern Illinois through central
Indiana, central Ohio, western
Pennsylvania, most of New
York state and New England
but a rapid recovery was pre
dicted this afternoon in all but
the north Atlantic states.
Considerable frost accompani
ed the cold in the lower Great
Lakes region, but the season has
been so backward that not much
damage was done.
The soldier-diplomat was said
to have counseled patience with
the Soviets in the hope that as
they digest the American posi
tion in the next few months,
they may go to London for the
next foreign ministers huddle in
November more amenable to
suggestions from their wartime
allies on vital points involved
in proposed Austrian and Ger
man peace treaties.
For this reason, Marshall
was said to have told the con
gressional leaders he believes it
is too early now for this coun
try to decide whether it should
take the unsettled issues involv
ing those treaties to the United
Nations general assembly for
an airing.

Bid of $1.5 Million Made
On$70MillionCanolPlant
Washington, April 28 (P) The government today received a
high bid of $1,500,000 for its $70,000,000 wartime crude oil pro
duction, Canol No. 1, in Canada. It includes a refinery and power
plant at White Horse, Y. T., and a 577 mile pipeline from Norman
wells. The bid, one of several opened in the office of the foreign
liquidation commissioner, was'
submitted by the Northwest Sal
vage Co. of Edmonton, Alberta.
The second high bid, $288,
888.88. was submitted by Bern
stein Bros., Pueblo Colo., and the
third, $285,074.55, by Louis
Greenspon, Inc., of Overland,
Mo.
One of the OFL officials pres
ent for the opening of the bids
commented that the "sum total
of the bids is rather disappoint
ing." The office reserved the right
to reject any and all bids.
Canol projects 2, 3 and 4, the
system for distributing Canol's
output, have not been declared
surplus by the army.
Canol No. 1 pipeline runs from
Norman Wells to White Horse
and includes the White Horse re
finery. The rest of the Cariol
project has not been declared
surplus. An announcement on
the sale probably will be made
later this week.
Albany Mines
Bureau Saved
Washington, April 28 iP)
Rep. Stockman (R., Ore.), has
stopped a move to abandon the
mines bureau experiment sta
tion at Albany, Ore.
It was learned that during
discussion of appropriations for
experiment stations, some mem
bers wanted to abandon the Al
bany station where experiments
with zirconium are being car
ried on. The subcommittee cut
appropriations for the work of
such stations throughout the
country from $1,600,000 to
$600,000. '
Stockman insisted that the
Albany station be retained and
finally won an agreement that
any cut made should be applied
to all stations in the country on
any equal basis. The represen
tative said the action will mean
that all of the stations will be
retained but on a greatly re
duced basis as the subcommit
tee recommended "that only the
most important and promising
portions" of the program be con
tinued.
Four Injured in

attention as the ten cars of the
Dearborn limited passenger train

Several of the cars were
leaning to one side, but none
turned over.
Railroad workers said the
train apparently tore a rail loose

New Election
Bill Introduced
Washington, April 28 W) A
bill demanding greater publicity
for campaign expenditures, but
making possible the revival of fi
nancial "angels" in federal pri
maries and election, was ready
for introduction today by a bi
partisan group of senators.
The measure was prepared by
Senator Ellender (D., La.), and
four other members of his 1946
campaign investigating commit
tee Edwin C. Johnson (D.,
Colo.); Maybank D S.C.);
Bridges (R., N.H.), and Hickcn
looper (R., Ia.). Ellonder said it
would bear all five names as
sponsors.
Titled "The federal corrupt
practices and pernicious political
activities act of 1947," the bill
is intended to replace the corrupt
practices act of 1925 and the
Hatch political activities act of
1939 and all their amendments.
It tightens present require
ments for reporting ' campaign
contributions and expenditures
and closes other loopholes. But
it makes the sky the limit on
donations and spending in presi
dential elections. Thus anyone
may give as much as he likes to
either party so long as the gift
comes from neither a corpora
tion nor labor union.
Fire Damans
At Blue Lake
Insurance adjusters are here
checking damage done by a fire
at the Blue Lake cannery in
West Salem early Sunday morn
ing that will run into several
thousand dollars, but which has
not halted plant operation. Ex
cept the general estimate. W.
E. Ayres, production manager
of the cooperative plant, said
he could not make an estimate
of the damage.
The alarm was turned in at
4:45 a. m. and the fire was out
at 7:15. The fire originated in
the compressor room and rang
ed upward. Most of the damage,
Ayres said, was to the insulation
of the ammonia pipe and to the
roof, with some additional water
damage. It did not total as ser
ious as at first believed, he said.
Fire Chief W. P. Roble said
the fire was all inside the build
ing except where firemen cut
ventilation holes. He gave the
firemen credit for good work
in quelling the blaze. Taken to
the fire were a 10000-gallon
pumper from headquarters, a
500-gallon pumper from the
south station, and the salvage
truck.
The plant is in operation to
day on potato processing.

Mass Picketing
At Portland
Portland, Ore., April 28 (U.R)
About 200 pickets of the strik
ing United Telephone Employes
of Oregon massed in front of the
main telephone building for the
first lime today and prevented
"all but about 10 persons from
entering the building," C. M.
Bixlcr, union president, report
ed. There was no violence as
several policemen stood by. The
telephone company said it was
able to "render emergency serv
ice as usual, despite the number
of pickets."
Ordinarily, the union said,
about 50 to 60 supervisory em
ployes would have entered the
building this morning, but the
number was cut to about 10, and
"We let in only people we didn't
know."
A company spokesman, how
ever, indicated, "Olc man river,
he just keeps rollin' along," but
declined to reveal how service
was continued despite reduced
personnel.
Bixlcr said, "We assume those
who went in were strike-breakers.
They were not union mem
bers. We plan to continue mass
picketing and have asked the po
lice to stand by. What we are
afraid of is that 'outside influ
ences' might use the opportunity
to make something happen, and
we don't want anything to happen."

Regulo'iions
For Cigarette
Tax Prepared

By James I). Olson
Rules and regulations govern
ing administration of the two
cents a package cigarette tax
provided for in one of the scv
eral "if tax laws" passed by the
recent legislature, arc now be
ing drawn by the state tax com
mission.
The cigarette tax if not sub
jected to the referendum will
become effective in the state on
July 5 and will apply to all
cigarettes sold in Oregon and
will continue until July 1, 1949.
unless the proposed three per
cent sales tax is adopted and be
comes effective on January 1.
1948.
Tax Commissioner Carl Cham
bers, who will administer the
law, said today that the com
mission is faced with numerous
problems in connection with the
cigarette tax which must be
solved before writing of regula
tions can be completed.
Stamps Necessary
Many shipments of cigarettes.
Commissioner Chambers said,
are of the "drop" variety, in
other words are delivered to
dealers from outside stales with
out going into the warehouses
of distributors. This method is
adopted to save shipment costs
and means, the tax commission
er said, that stamps must be
made available to retailers who
receive such shipments.
Dave O'Hara, in charge of the
elections division of the secre
tary of state's office, said that
there have been no indications
thus far that a referendum will
be applied to the recently adopt
ed cigarette tax.
A similar cigarette tax law

Use Meter Machines
Wholesalers and retailers sub
ject to the tax will be allowed
a sum equal to three per cent
of the face value of stamps pur
chased as compensation for af
fixing the stamps to the cigar
ette packages. Under the law
the commission is authorized to
permit wholesalers to use meter
machines for stamping the pack
ages.
Both wholesale and retail
dealers in cigarettes must ob
tain a certificate from the tax
commission at a cost of $1.
such certificate to be valid a?
long as ownership in the busi
ness is not changed. New own
ers will be issued new certifi
cates without charge.
Should the cigarette tax be
effective for a two-year period
it is estimated that the state
will derive between $3,000,000
and $4,000,000, all of which will
be placed in the general fund
of the state. Should the sales
tax be defeated at the October
7 election, the cigarette lax is
one of the methods the members
of the recent legislature adopted
to .overcome an estimated $7,
000,000 general fund deficit.

Wage Increase in 5
Midwest States Rejected
By Union
Washington, April 28 (VP)
Amid talk of close-pending de
velopmcnts, the labor depart
ment today drove ahead in triple
headed conferences to end the
telephone strike.
Department officials tipped re
porters to watch for develop
ments this afternoon. President
Joseph A. Bierne of the striking
National Federation of Tele
phone Workers said in Pitts
burgh he expects "a major break,
possibly today or tomorrow."
Strikers Reject Offer
The source of 'this optimism
was not explained. Earlier a
wave of hope had sprung up in
the wake of a $2.50-a-week wage
increase offer made by the
Northwestern Bell Telephone
company for five midwest states.
It was rejected by Iowa union
workers, and an attorney for the
unions, Henry Mayer, said the
new offer was "wholly inade
quate." Labor department meetings
involving three Bell System un
its the long distance division,
Western Electric company, and
Southwestern Bell Telephone
company were in progress or
scheduled.
Conciliator Hopeful
Peter G. Manno, federal con
ciliator in the long lines dispute,
told reporters:
"I'm smiling. Any time I smile
it means something."
So far as the Iowa strikers are
concerned, a spokesman said,
they would insist on the $6 in
crease which the union estab
lished as its minimum demand
on Friday.
The four other state involved
are Minnesota, Nebraska, North
Dakota and South Dakota.

Strikers Slash
Wage Demands
San Francisco, April 28 (U.R)
Negotiators for striking tele
phone workers were expected to
day to cut their wage demands lo
half of what they originally
asked.
Union spokesmen said that the
new demands would be for a $6
weekly wage increase instead of
the $12 asked when the strike
began. The $6 reduction was of
fered by union negotiators ill
Washington last week and waf
rejected.
"We are hoping this modifica
tion will serve as an entering
wedge for final settlement of the
dispute, but in the light of re
cent national developments, we
cannot be too optimistic," said
Daniel Johnston, western nego
tiator for the unions.
Negotiation sessions between
the National Federation of Tele
phone Workers, the United Bro
therhood of Telephone Workers
and the Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph company were to re
sume this morning after being
stalled since April 19.
In other western telephone
strike developments:
1. NFTW representa lives will
meet with the executive board of
the AFL Central Labor council
tonight, presumably to discuss
AFL support for the strike. The
CIO already has granted striking
and strike-supporting unions "fi
nancial, physical and moral" sup
port. 2. Union and company attor
neys were to meet with Superior
Judge Herbert C. Kaufman to de
termine procedures for a hearing
Wednesday which will determine
whether a temporary injunction
limiting picketing should be
made permanent.
