Carlos P. Romulo, head of the
Philippine delegation to the
United Nations, disclosed today
he has refused to serve on a
committee sponsoring the Japan
International Christian univer
sity foundation.
Romulo, who is now president
of the UN assembly, outlined his
position in a letter to Joseph
C. Grew, national chairman of
the committee and former Amer
ican ambassador to Tokyo. The
foundation plans a campaign for
$10,000,000 next spring.
In declining Grcw's invita
tion to aid the campaign, Romulo
said:
"Hundreds of Philippine
schools, colleges and universities
destroyed by the Japanese armed
forces during the war have not
vet been completely reconstruct
ed; many of them still lie in
ruins. Without detracting In
any way from the importance of
the humanitarian project which
you are sponsoring, I feel that
our own destroyed and damaged
schools have a prior claim on
whatever time and energy I can
devote to educational rehabilita
tion."

Icy Floods at
Prince George
Prince George, B.C., Dec. 23
(CP) Icy waters from the Ne-
chako river swirled through
Prince George streets today
backed up by an ice jam.
As flood waters rose six
inches overnight, sawmills clos
ed, and some householders in the
mill district fled their homes.
Damage already totals at least
$75,000.
Dynamite was used in efforts
to divert the flood waters from
industrial sections, and in the
residential district 200 homes
are menaced.
Eight to 10 feet of freezing
water has spilled into millyards,
causing heavy damage to ma
chinery. Seven of 11 mills in the
district have closed.
Twenty-five acres of mill area
now are under water, and more
than 1,000,000 feet of timber,
much of it kiln dried, is float
ing around the yards.
More than 300 men are idle
today, and the jobs of hundreds
of others are threatened as the
water advances into the mill district.

Portland, Dec. 23 VP) Mult
nomah county's commissioners
faced opposition today in their

the property at the fairgrounds.

commissioners and to continue
to take instructions from the

vote followed an auditor's re
port that said the fair manage
ment had accounted for money
only loosely.

Salem Quiz Kid
Wins Turkey for
Christmas Dinner
Some folk "bring home the
bacon," but it took young
John Harvey, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Paul W. Harvey, Jr., to
provide the family with a
Christmas turkey.
John, 10 years old, won one
of the Northwest Turkey as
sociation's prize birds during
Intermission time at Willa
mette university Thursday
night because he knew the
name of the man who "took
the turkey to Turkey."
Teamed up with three adults
and a couple of youngsters in
a quiz contest, young John
gave evidence that he reads the
newspapers when he was the
sole survivor of the question
and answer game.
When the woman who re
mained as John's only oppon
ent muffed the turkey ques
tion, he unhesitatingly re
plied "Gene Malecki." .
