kFinal Session
80th Congress to
Open Tuesday
Problems Vifally Ef
fecting U. S. Future
And World at Stake
Washington, Jan. 5 W) Ques
tions bearing vitally on the fu
ture of the United States and
most of the world confront the
80th congress meeting tomorrow
for its final session.
Help for Europe and Asia, tax
cutting, the high cost of liv
ing, rent control and the hous
ing shortage, military prepared
ness and health insurance are a
few of the top issues. And the
list probably will grow.
A complicating factor is that
this is a general election year.
Democrats want to regain the
control of congress they lost to
the GOP in 1946. The republi
cans hope to put their presiden
tial nominee in the White
House for the first time since
Franklin D. Roosevelt started
ffihis first term in 1933.
" Colored by Politics
The first week of the new
session will be devoted primar
ily to speechmaking and strategy
huddles by congressional lead
ers, with a few committees start
ing to lay the groundwork for
future legislative actions.
The senate republican policy
committee and the house re
publican steering committee
will meet during the week for
decisions which will go far to
ward shaping the majority
party's legislative program to
counter the proposals President
Truman will outline Wednesday
in his annual state-of-the-union
message.
The chief executive will go
to the capitol in person to de
liver that message to a joint
session of the senate and house.
His economic report on Friday
and his budget message next
Monday will be delivered by
messenger.
Tax Reduction Battle
The first actual battle of the
session probably will lake place
in the house, over the GOP
backed tax reduction bill.
House leaders want to pass the
measure this month so, as Speak
er Martin put it, the president
will know what to expect.
The tax bill under considera
tion would cut $5,600,000,000
and about 7,400,000 low income
and elderly persons from the
y'tax rolls. It goes further than
the two bills Mr: Truman ve
toed last year.

Cold Eases in
Eastern States
(By th Associated Press)
Heavy deposits of ice and snow
in the midwest and the east be
low New England faced substan
tial melting today and tomorrow
as mild temperatures moved into
the eastern half of the country.
In New York, where a record
25.8-inch snow fell December 26,
and New Jersey where even
greater depths were reached, the
weather bureau predicted after
noon temperatures in the high
thirties.
Northern California had rain
fall of more than an inch in some
localities. Blue Canyon reported
1.35 inches of rain this morning.
Crescent City had an inch, Su
sanville .93 inch and Red Bluff
.83.
The Chicago weather bureau
said temperatures would climb
well above freezing over most of
the midwest today and that most
of the snow which fell in the
wake of last week's freezing
rain and sleet probably would be
melted by nightfall, along with
, the ice on communications wires,
poles and trees. But another day
; ;of similar temperatures probably
! would be required to dispose of
I the ice which lies under the
snow, said Forecaster W. N.
Percy.
Except for readings of 14 de
grees at Rockford and Moline,
111., last night the mercury dip
ppd no lower generally than the
20s in the midwest. Some areas
reported a night-long thaw with
readings in the lower 30s.
Motorists Advised
To Carry Chains
The state highway commission
warned today that strong south
winds are expected on highways
in western Oregon and in the
Cascade mountains tonight.
Mountain roads were in bet
ter condition today after being
sanded, but motorists still were
advised to carry chains.
The 9 a.m. road report:
Santiam Junction 22 degrees.
13 inches new snow, packed
snow on all roads, sanded; 69
incnes roadside snow.
Odcll Lake, Willamette high

Schuman Wins
Confidence Vote
From Assembly
Paris, Jan. 5 (VP) The French
national assembly gave Premier
Robert Schuman votes of confi
dence today by defeating two
communist- peasant - Dc Gaullist
amendments to the government's
anti-inflation bill.
The assembly voted down ef
forts to exclude 1,100,000 farm
ers from the tax bill and to ex
empt small artisans from the
choice of paying a special income
tax or investing the same amount
m government bonds. The votes
were 306-273 and 308-272, re
spectively.
Other Amendments
Other amendments still to be
voted on would reduce tax lev
ies on war, drought and flood
victims and on small family-op-crated
businesses.
Assembly circles predicted
that the government's margin
might be close in the voting on a
lax relief for war victims, but it
was generally believed that it
would win out.
The tax bill, as presented by
the government, is designed to
produce approximately 125,000,-
000,000 francs (about ?1,000,
000,000) in revenue.
Saturday when communist and
rightist deputies sought to amend
the measure with proposals for
exemptions for thoes in small
income brackets they were de
feated by 322 to 262.

Wherry Blasts
Meat Rationing
Washington, Jan. 5 W) A con
tention that meat rationing
would not work without price
controls and that a combination
of the two would "stifle" meat
production came today from
Senator Wherry (R., Neb.).
The Nebraskan expressed this
opinion in commenting on plans
of Senator Flanders (R Vt.),
to introduce legislation shortly
authorizing the agriculture de
partment to prepare for meat ra
tioning to a point just short of
putting it into effect.
Under the plan Flanders out
lined over the week-end, con
gress would have to enact still
another law to get actual ra
tioning under way.
The agriculture department
already is at work on some pre
liminary planning. Secretary
Anderson, who has predicted
that Americans will be asking
for meat rationing by spring,
told a reporter he has assigned
an assistant, Charles F. Bran
nan, to prepare recommenda
tions in the event the depart
ment should be asked for them.
Flanders said his bill will
make no provision for price
ceilings on meat. But he ex
pressed belief that rationing,
properly handled, would have a
restraining effect of prices.
Wherry, one of the chief cri
tics of the old OPA, said his
theory is "you just can't ration
without price controls. Isn't that
what Chester Bowles always
taught us?"
Bowles is a former OPA ad
ministrator.
Brokers' Records of Graham
And Pauley Given to Senate
Washington, Jan. 5 VP) A senate committee today obtained
records of grain trading by Brig. Gen. Wallace H. Graham, Pres
ident Truman's personal physician, by' serving a subpoena on
Graham s brokers. T
Edward F. McGinnis, senate
sergeant - at - arms, handed the
subpoena to Sarah B. Herschel, a
Washington r e p r esentative of
Bache and Company, New York
brokerage firm.
McGinnis acted for a senate
appropriations s u b co m m ittee
which is investigating grain spec
ulation by federal employes.
Kimball Sanborn and Earl W.
Cooper, committee staff mem
bers, took Graham's records to
the capitol for scrutiny by the
subcommittee.
Senator Knowland (R-Calif.),
a committee member, told a re
porter the subpoena was "just a
formality" followed because of
the firm's reluctance to yield its
books on Graham's accounts
without an order, although it had
agreed to turn them over.
The subcommittee, headed by
Senator Ferguson (R-Mich.),
planned to begin analyzing the
records today together with an-
other set of books on the grain:

Munitions for
Palestine Seized
At Jersey City
New York, Jan. 5 P) An ex
planation why crates labeled
"used industrial machinery"
which were being loaded for
shipment to Palestine, contained
explosive TNT was sought today
by federal and local authorities.
The TNT, or tri-nitro-toluene,
was discovered Saturday when a
crate burst open during the load
ing of the American Export
Line freighter Executor at a Jer
sey City pier.
When a second crate also prov
ed to contain TNT, police and
customs officials ordered 77 Palestine-bound
crates impounded
and removed by barge to a safe
anchorage.
65,000 Tons TNT
Police said 26 crates were be
lieved to contain 65,000 pounds
of TNT enough to devastate a
100-square-miIe area.
Custom officials said explo
sives for export require special
permits and 'must be labeled
properly. The state department
embargoed arms shipments to
the middle east last month after
the United Nations general as
sembly voted to partition Pales
tine. There was no announce
ment, however, that the TNT
was classified as a military ma
terial. A few hours after the ship
ment was impounded New York
police searched a Bronx ware
house and reported finding
cartridge-making machinery and
a stencil used in labeling some
of the crates seized in Jersey
City. They returned to the ware
house yesterday and examined
other crates which they said con
tained radio transmitting equip
ment, motors, pipe and electric
equipment.
Other Equipment
The 26 crates believed to hold
TNT were consigned to Haboreg,
Ltd., Tel Aviv, Palestine, by the
Oved Trading company of New
York City, the export declara
tion said.
Julius Chender, described by
police as the owner of the Bronx
warehouse, was quoted by an
NBC correspondent in Paris as
denying that he owned such a
warehouse or that he was en
gaged in shipping arms or am
munition to Palestine.
He said that "I have been in
terested in the Palestine situa
tion since I was a kid."
Royall Urges
Army Training
Los Angeles, Jan. 5 W In a
world of unrest and possible fu
ture conflict, the United Stales'
defense requirement make im
perative establishment of uni
versal military training, Secre
tary of the Army Kenneth C.
Royall declared today.
Royall, in an address prepar
ed for delivery at acivic meet
ing, said he had come to this
conclusion "reluctantly." He em
phasized that he had not aban
doned hope for permanent peace,
but added:
Until world conditions are
better stabilized than they are
today, we must plan and we
must have universal military
training in order to be ready
properly to defend our nation.
special assistant to Secretary of
the Army Royall.
In response to a committee re
quest made December 11, Pauley
turned over his personal records
to the appropriations unit late
Saturday night. Knowland, Fer
guson and committee staff mem
bers spent several hours Sunday
going over the books.
Pauley testified last month
that when he became Royall's
assistant last fall he held 500,000
bushels of grain. He said he had
disposed of all but 50,000 bushels
and was $100,000 "worse off"
as a result and had promised
Royall to sell the rest as fast as
good business practices would
permit.
Meanwhile, an FBI investiga
tion of Graham's holdings came
to light when Knowland wrote
Bache and Company about Gra
ham and was told by the firm
that "the FBI called on us" for
information on Graham's ac
counts. The FBI informed Know-
land that this information had
been turned over to the justice
'department.

Soviet Nations
Boycott Meet
Of UN Group
Little Assembly Begins
Year Round Sittings
With Address by Lie
Lake Success, Jan. 5 tA"i The
United Nations "Little Assem
bly" began Its year-round sit
tings today with Russia and the
five other Soviet bloc nations
boycotting its opening session.
Secretary-General Trygve Lie,
in opening the meeting at 11:25
a.m. (EST) took no official no
tice of the boycott but he gave
his full approval to the new ex
perimental body, originally pro
posed by Secretary of State Mar
shall. Although ignoring the vacant
seats at the huge committee ta
ble. Lie took issue with the con
tention expressed previously by
Russia that the "Little Assem
bly" would undermine the se
curity council and threaten the
entire UN structure.
Hope for Co-operation
"I am convinced," Lie de
clared, "that the interim commit
tee (Little Assembly) can make
a very constructive contribution
to the effectiveness of the gen
eral assembly and thereby
strengthen the United Nations as
a whole."
A Soviet spokesman said in
advance of the session that Rus
sia still felt the U. S. -sponsored
'Little Assembly" was unconsti
tutional and therefore would not
attend. Informed quarters said
the same attitude had been taken
by Czechoslovakia, Poland, Yu
goslavia, White Russia and the
Soviet Ukraine.
A representative of the U. S.
delegation maintained, however,
that U. S. Delegate Warren R.
Austin had not given up hope
that the Soviet bloc might even
tually join in the new body,
which was proposed originally
by Secretary of Stale Marshall.
Other Developments
The "Little Assembly," known
officially as the interim commit

summoned amid these other de

moned to a session tomorrow to
take up India's complaint against
Pakistan, growing out ot the

hitherto unused road running
over the ridge from the Elkhorn
road on the north fork to Gates,
just to have handy as an emer
gency outlet. William Shepherd
of Mill City who was in Salem
Monday said he went lo the top
of the ridge from the Gates side
Monday in his car and believed
that a car could go down hill to
the Elkhorn side now but he
doubted if it could get out from
that side. Court members did not
know how long the rocking
would take to get this road in
good passable shape, but said
probably a jeep could get
through now or a caterpillar
could pull a car through, but its
attempted use was not advised
Shepherd said there were three
or four inches of snow at the top
of the ridge.
Stassen Oilers
5-Point Program
To Foil Kremlin
New York, Jan. 5 (VP) Harold
E. Stassen, candidate for the re
publican presidential nomina
tion, outlined today a five-point
program which he said "could"
by 1950 result in "the inability ot
the Kremlin to successfully wan
aggressive war, and diminishing
communist strength in other na
tions. Adoption of the program by
the U. S., the former Minnesota
governor said, also should show
"continued success of the Ameri
can economic system, marked
progress in rebuilding Europe
with rising standards of living,
and a definite trend toward in
creased individual economic, so
cial and political freedom."
The resultant situation in Rus
sia, he said in an address befor
the New York Young Republican
club, would be continued low
production and poor living stand
ards "compounded rather than
corrected by the ruble purge."
Five-Point Program
The five points, as expounded
by Stassen, are:
1. To demonstrate the contin
ued success of the American sys
tem by "a net work of interre
lated measures of limited powers
in government, of curbs on ex
cessive credit to decrease infla
tionary pressures, of supervision
of exports to avoid too great an
impact of world-wide shortages,
of limiting of inventories to pre
vent hoarding, of economy in the
civilian activities of government,
and of a variable federal fiscal
program, all to check booms and
avoid depression busts."
He asked also "supplementary
action on Ihe housing and health
and education shortcomings."
On Marshall Plan
2. Place the Marshall plan "on
sound and businesslike basis,
establishing proper economic
conditions to increase Its pros
pects of success, but above all,
treating it as the bi-partisan pro
gram that it is, and not permit
ting quibbling or politics to de
lay and handicap or cut in half
and destroy."
3. "We should maintain a
strong military position and in
crease our air power and enlargt
our research."
4. "Stop shipping to Russia
heavy machinery, machine tools,
electrical devices, and other ap
paratus and equipment which
could become a part of a commu
nist war machine . . . unless and
until the leaders in the Kremlin
show by definite agreement and
action that they will co-operatt
in rebuilding Europe."
Propaganda Campaign
5. "An extensive world-wide
campaign of ideas to combat ths
propaganda line of the commu
nists" which "should go far be
yond the Voice of America
broadcasts."
Stassen said that a positive re
publican foreign policy program
should include "the calling of a
major United Nations convention
in 1950 for the purpose of
amending and rewriting the
charier and strengthening th
United Nations for its noble and
vital task."
Illegal Search
Voided by Court
Washington. Jan. 5 (U.Ri By
a 7 to 2 vote, the supreme court
today reaffirmed that an illegal
search by officers does not be
come valid just because it turns
up evidence of law violation.
Justice Robert H. Jackson,
writing the majority opinion in
the case ot a Buffalo man con
victed of possessing counterfeit
gasoline ration coupons during
the war, said:
"In law, it (a search) is good
or bad when it starts and does
not change character from its
success.
"The forefathers designed our
constitution to place obstacles
in the way of a too-permeating
police surveillance, which they
seemed to think was a greater
danger to a free people than
the escape of some criminals
from punishment."
By its decision, the court in
validated the conviction of Mi
chael Di Re, Buffalo, who was
one of two men arrested in a
parked car in 1944. Di Re was
found lo possess more than 100
forged gasoline ration coupons.
The high court held that since
the arresting officers did not
expect to find Di Re in the car,
the subsequent search of his per
son which yielded the evidence
against him was illegal.
