Railroads Ask
Rate Raise
Washington, Oct. 12 (Pi The
railroad industry today asked
authority to increase freight
charges 13 per cent, and esti
mated the increase would bring
In $1,000,000,000 a year
The carriers filed an amended
petition with the interstate com
merce commission asking the
33 per cent increase. The new
application supplants an Octo
ber 1 petition for an eight per
cent rate increase.
Vice President Jacob Aron
son of the New York Central
system, said the additional five
per cent advance now being ask
ed is necessary because of the
10 cents an hour wage increase
granted railway conductors and
trainmen, effective October 16.
The new petition asked that
the ICC grant an eight per cent
increase immediately while the
commission is considering the
proposed 13 per cent advance as
a permanent part of the rale
structure.
As in the case of most of the
freight rate increases since the
war, the railroads listed certain
named commodities for specific
dollars and cents increases aver
aging less than the 13 per cent
asked generally.
They proposed that advances
on coal, coke, Iron ore. fresh
fruits, vegetables, lumber and
sugar be held below the 13 per
cent figure.
Post-Dispatch to
Support Dewey
St. Louis. Oct. 12 Pi The
Post-Dispatch announced today
It favors the election of Thomas
E. Dewey as president.
The newspaper praised the
republican nominee's record as
an administrator and said Presi
dent Truman lacks "the stature,
the vision, the social and eco
nomic grasp, or the sense of his
tory required to lead this nation
in a world crisis."
The Post-Hispatch supported
Roosevelt for three of his four
terms, Including 1044 when he
was opposed by Dewey. It fa
vored Alfred M. Landon over
Roosevelt in 1936.

Mother Sues
Veronica Lake
Los Angeles, Oct. 12 Ver
onica Lake's mother claims she
put her life savings into the film
star's career, only to be left des
titue. Mrs. Constance Veronica
Keane, asking $500 monthly
support in a suit against the
actress yesterday, alleged that
she had spent nearly $10,000 to
further her daughter's theatrical
climb. She charged the actress
had broken off a 1943 support
agreement.
In that agreement, the com
plaint said, Miss Lake promised
to pay $200 a week "in consid
eration of filial love and affec
tion" to her mother and the lat-
tcr's husband, the late Hugh A.
Keane, former New York news
paperman. It said Miss Lake
paid $115 a week for a time,
later $75, then $37.50 but noth
ing since last May.
Describing herself as indigent,
Mrs. Keane alleged that Miss
Lake earns $4,500 a week. The
complaint also named the act
ress' husband, Director Andre
De Toth, as a defendant. It
asked for $500 a month plus
$17,416 in back payments.
Miss Lake, who said she is ex
pecting her third child shortly,
commented:
This money trouble has been
going on for years. I feel awful
that a mother and daughter
should have that sort of relation
ship. I paid mother $115 a week
until my stepfather died, and
then paid his funeral expenses.
I've cut the allowance because
I'm supporting my grandmother,
my mother-in-law, two children,
a nurse and now another baby
is coming momentarily."

Linn Is Asked
For Tax Levy
Albany Linn county voters,
who refused to approve a spe
cial four-mill road tax at the
May 21 primary election, will
be asked to give their consent
at the November 2 general elec
tion to the extension of the cur
rent five-mill levy for another
three years.
The county court has Issued
an order placing on the ballot
at the impending election a
measure which would renew the
current two-mill general road
tax and three-mill market road
levy, for the 1940-50, 1950-51
and 1951-52 tax years. These
levies were approved by the
people three years ago but will
expire at the end of the 1948
49 tax year.
It is explained in the order
that the county's road system
is still in a deplorable state of
disrepair, due not only to de
structive nature of the weather
last winter but also to the fact
that the county had been un
able to overcome wartime de
preciation. Mf. Angel Facing
Water Rate Changes
Mt. Angel Ordinances are
being prepared here under the
direction of the city officials
which will repeal the present
water rate schedule and put Into
effect a new rate.

for users outside the city lim
its and from $1.50 to $2 within
the city limits, and 6 cents to
10 cents per cubic foot for wa
ter users and over the 500-cu-bic
foot maximum.
This increase will raise about
$2000 a year and will be used
to retire the $50,000 water Im
provement bonds. Installation of
new water mains is now under
way.

U of Oklahoma
Admits Negro
Oklahoma City, Oct. 12 P
For the first time in the history
of the state, the doors of the all
white University of Oklahoma
will be ready to open for a Ne
gro student tomorro.v.
He is G. W. McLaurin, a 54-year-old
retired professor who
wants to study for a doctor's
degree in education in the uni
versity's graduate school.
Yesterday the state rep
resented by the university re
gents bowed to a federal
court ruling of Sept. 29 and de
cided to admit McLaurin.
But it was not an uncondi
tional surrender.
The regents told the univer
sity president, Dr. George L,
Cross, to admit McLaurin "on a
segregated basis." This will pro
bably be similar to the partial
segregation used at the Univer
sity of Arkansas, which enroll
ed its own first Negro student
last spring.

Soviet Promotes
Eastern Union
Prague, Oct. 12 UP Reliable
sources said today that Russia
has decided to sponsor an east
ern union to offset western Eu
rope's western union.
The decision to form a federa
tion of eastern Europe's "peo
ple's democracies" was believed
taken at a conference of top
eastern political leaders in the
Crimea last month. It is ex
pected to be announced soon,
Informants said the federation
would include Poland, Czecho
slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria and
Romania. Its planners were re
ported hoping also to bring in
Yugoslavia despite its expulsion
from the cominform.
The Russian zone of Austria
also was reported under consid
eration for membership. The
participation of eastern Ger
many, however, was believed
left for later discussion.
The exact form of the pro
posed organization was not re
vealed. But it was learned that
more than a score of experts
from the participating countries
were called together In Prague
this week, handed a mimeo
graphed outline of the plan and
told to work out technical de
tails. Commie Gets Jail

Rennie Talks
To Kiwanis
Since we are Involved in Eu
ropean affairs and definitely
committed to a policy of assist
ance, this country should pro
vide the best leadership possi
ble for its program So said
Wesley F. Rennie, associate
general secretary of the world's
committee of the YMCA as he
addressed the Salem Kiwanis
club Tuesday noon concerning
conditions in Europe
Rennie, back in this country
from a recent tour if Europe,
including western Germany,
said that while conditions ap
peared to be improving it would
be a long, tough struggle to get
that part of the globe back on
something of a stable economic
foundation. He spoke of the
600,000 displaced persons who
occupy camps in western Ger
many and who cannot or will
not return to their original
homes. He expressed the opin
ion that many of them should
be admitted to this country be- j
cause they are "solid citizens."
Rennie spoke of what Hol
land and Belgium had achieved
in the way of recovery but
added that "austerity still rules
in the British Isles."
Dr. Henry Morris was pre
sented with a certlf'cate from
Kiwanis International in rec
ognition of his unbroken at
tendance record of nore than
25 years.
