Call for Bids
On Cily Sewer
If satisfactory bids are made
the city will abandon the plan to
do the excavating and lay the
pipe for the interceptor sewer
project and let a contract in
stead.
City Manager J. L. Franzen,
at his recommendation, was au
thorized by the council Monday
night to call for bids. His rea
son was that on the "must" list
is a drainage problem in the
north part of the city that must
be taken care of before next
winter, and that if it is done the
engineering crew will have to
be relieved from the sewer job.
Some temporary work is on
the drainage program, and per
manent work will have to await
more available funds, but the
temporary work is considered
absolutely necessary before win

the area.
Three other drainage jobs
will also be taken care of, one
in south Salem, and the other

House Refuses
(CrnUnuea rrom Page O
Administration forces grab
bed complete control yesterday,
smothering a republican-southern
democrat coalition, and beat
back all efforts to substitute or
amend the administration bill.
These were major provisions
of the bill as it stood after yes
terday's debate:
1. The federal government
would contribute up to $308,
000,000 a year for 40 years to
ward construction by local au
thorities of 810,000 publicly-
owned dwelling units. Federal
contributors would meet the dif
ference between the low rents
and the amount necessary to pay
off the long-range cost of build
ing and operation.
2. A $262,500,000 program
would provide housing loans for
farmers who could not get cre
dit elsewhere, with grants in
some cases for housing on farms
that are not self-sustaining.
Salem Rents
(Continued from Page 1)
said "rent control was the most
unfair thing ever foisted upon
the people, and that labor costs
had been increased four times
since rent control became effec
tive. Madison Offers Pledge
Among others speaking for
decontrol were two labor union
members who also own housing
rental units, although organized
labor petitioned heavily to keep
rents under control.
Don Madison, housing owner,
said he would pledge himself
not to increase his total take on
rentals if control was removed,
but would want a readjustment.
He said he would "be glad to
freeze his rentals at 1945 fig
ures if labor would do the same
for wages."
John Williams, owner of the
Ambassador apartments, said
his rents would not be increas
ed one dollar if controls were
removed, and J. B. Frotzman
said decontrol was necessary
"for those who depend on
rentals for a living." Roy Ad
sitt said if controls were remov
ed "rents would adjust them
selves the same as groceries.
Herbert E. Barker, executive
secretary of the Salem Trades
and Labor council, said his or

Yes, at tobacco auctions Lucky Strike
pays millions of dollars more than
official parity prices for fine tobacco!
There's no finer cigarette in the world today than
Lucky Strike! To bring you this liner cigarette,
the makers of Lucky Strike go after fine, light,
naturally mild tobacco and pay millions of dol
lars more than official parity prices to get it!
So buy a carton of Luckies today. See for your
self how much finer and smoother Luckies really
are how much more real deep-down smoking
enjoyment they give you. Yes, smoke a LuckyI
It's a finer, milder, more enjoyable cigarette!
RAYMOND W. CRUTCHFIELD of Reidavillc, N. C,
veteran tobacco warehouseman, nays: " Year
after year, I've teen the makers of Luckies buy
fine, ripe leaf that makes one great smoke!"
"Crutch" has smoked Luckies for 20 years. Here's
more evidence that Luckies arc a finer cigarettel
ganization was on record as
against decontrol. To show that
landlords are not suffering un
der control he said that since
January 1 the rents of 80 Salem
units have been advanced 25
per cent, but he said that where
control has been removed rents
have gone up 65 per cent.
Barker Answers Criticism
"There is only one reason for
decontrol," said Barker, "and
that is to increase rents."
He said the average wage is
$51 to $55 a week. Replying
to those who cited high labor
costs, he said "high wages don't
amount to much when the wage
worker works only six or seven
months of the year."
Lee Coe, speaking for Mar-ion-P
o 1 k County Progressive
club, said a recent survey show
ed only 117 units for rent in this
area, and high prices were ask
ed. "Rents went up 66 per cent In
Salem," he said, "when we had
no control. Tenants need pro
tection, not the landlords."
Hub Saalfeld, county service
officer for the veterans' admin
istration, recommended a sur
vey to show whether a housing
shortage exists. He said he re
ceived many complaints about
high rents from veterans and
their dependents.
"We realize," he said, "that
some landlords are not getting
enough, but on the other hand
some veterans are paying too
