Cochran Going
To Washington
Clay Cochran, manager of the
Chamber of Commerce, will
leave for Washington, D.C., Sat
urday on several missions, one
of which is for the benefit of
the Oregon flax industry.
Cochran is taking up the flax
matter with the department of
agriculture at the request of
Henry R. Crawford, chairman
of the state flax board.
The state operation of the flax
industry handled through the
penitentiary, is in good condi
tion, Crawford said. But some
of the flax cooperatives are not
doing so well, and one reason is
flax importation from other
countries. Cochran will put be
fore the department the need of
a tariff or some other form of
relief.
Efforts are under way for an
improvement of the quality of
Oregon-grown flax.
Cochran will attend a three
day meeting, January 5, 6 and
7, of the American Chamber of
Commerce executive board, of
which he is a member. The
board will meet with officials
of the United States Chamber
of Commerce. I
Other matters Cochran will
take up in Washington include
completion of the deal between
the war assets administration
and Manganese Products of
Seattle for transfer to the lat
ter of the Salem alumina plant.
In Chicago he will call on W.
A. Patterson, president of Unit
ed Air Lines, relative to the
pending hearing in Washington
involving the future operation
of United in Salem.

County Commissioner Roy
Rice reporting to the county
court Friday on condition of the
Dike road leading south from
Turner, on which three com
plaints had been filed with the
court, said that investigation
showed the bad part of the
roadway about which the com
plaints were lodged lies with
in the city of Turner and is that
town's problem. He referred to
a place where the brush ob
structs the view of the road and
water runs orr the roadway at
flood times. He said that beav
ers working in the ditch had
dammed it so the overflow was
caused.
There is some work to be
done on the county's part of the
road, he added, and a crew will
be sent there to take care of
this shortly after the first of
the year.
Complaints lodged with the
court cane from Helen Peetz

The nationalist air force as

Pentagon Critic
Gets Demoted
Washington, Dec. 30 (P
A sweeping series of navy or
ders and promotions sent one
critic of Pentagon policy to
what looked like a lesser post
today, but named another for
a raise in rank.
Vice Adm. Gerald F. Bo
gan whose statement that uni
fication policies had damaged
navy morale helped set off a
bitter admirals-vs.-the Penta
gon row before a house commit
tee was transferred from his
command in the Pacific to a
shore job now held by a rear
admiral.
But Capt. Arleigh A. Burke
chief of the now-abolished
navy unit which reportedly
prepared material for the ad
mirals' unification attack ir
congress was one of 23 offic
ers nominated for promotion to
rear admiral.
New Jobs and ranks also were
in store for a whole boatload of
other high navy officers, subject
to senate approval.
The letter about morale
which Bogan sent to Secretary
of the Navy Matthews was made
public several months ago
along with the comment of the
then chief of naval operations,
Adm. Louis Denfcld by Capt.
John G. Crommelin, longtime
critic of unification.
Crommelin's action touched
off a scries of hearings by the
house armed services commit
tee at which a long parade of
admirals testified that defense
policies were weighted in favor
of the army and air force, and
were damaging the navy.

fContinupd from Page 1)
Responsible French quarters
in London said the French gov
ernment was ready to recognize
communist China "as soon as ar
rangements can be made with
other western powers."
The Chinese nationalist flag
still fluttered above the nation
alist embassy here this afternoon
but diplomats gave a farewell
party for the nationalist ambas
sador, Dr. Chia-Luen-Lo.
The party was held at the resi
dence of U.S. Ambassador Loy
Henderson, who said it was a
'spontaneous mark of our affec
tion."
An official announcement said
recognition was granted in re
sponse to a request made last
October by the Peiping regime
of Chinese communist leader
Mao-Tse-Tung.
Moscow and all Moscow-dom
inated countries recognized the
Chinese communists some time
ago before Mao journeyed to
Moscow to be a Kremlin guest
during premier Josef Stalin's re
rent 70th birthday annivcrsarv.
Yugoslavia and Burma also
have recognized the Chinese
communists, but India so far is
the first country definitely
aligned with the western world
to extend recognition.

Cabinet Hears
(Continued from Page 1)
Although the two White House
economists warned against try
ing to predict President Tru
man's specific proposals from its
text, they came out for:
Recommendations Made
1. Continuation of federal rent
controls due to expire June 30.
2. "Immediate expansion of
federal old-ago security."
3. Government policies that
can place foremost emphasis
upon encouraging steady busi
ness expansion and thus mini
mizing the fluctuations in busi
ness activity."
4. More consistency and sta
bility in government programs
and planning, including federal
taxes.
The Kcyrcsling-Clark report
proceeded to make some recom
mendations. Among its points:
1. President Truman's fore
cast of a "300 billion dollar
economy within a f e w years"
will be reached if government
and business continue to coop
erate.
2. Additional methods must bs
found to improve the "produc
tivity of low-income groups."
3. Government programs must
be carefully tested to see if they
"promote general stability and
expansion or rob Peter to pay
Paul."
4. Agricultural programs, such
as farm price-supports, should be
"consistent with the need of ur
ban consumer incomes."
5. There Is room in America
for both "well conducted big
business and for small business."
