City Water Hydrants Freeze
Increasing Fire Hazards
Most serious of all kinds of trouble and Inconvenience caused
by the cold spell is the freezing of water hydrants in some parts
of the city.
This was an added fire hazard, and brought from Fire Chief
W. P. Roble a warning against
"The frozen hydrants are ofv
a certain type, the chief said,
"If a fire were to occur in a dis
trict where protection depends
on such a hydrant firemen just
couldn't do anything about it.
"The public should heed a
warning not to thaw pipes with
cpen flame. If water pipes are
frozen the best thing to do is
call a plumber if you can get
one or someone with experi
ence. Or, if property owners
want to do it themselves, use
some method other than open
flame."
As for getting plumbers, that
was pretty hard to do today,
and will be for days to come.
One plumber reported 220 calls
for help up to about 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning.
"We just have to take them as
they come," this establishment
reported. "People just have to
wait their turn. Our men work
ed until midnight last night, and
will again tonight."
Other establishments report
ed with almost identical infor
mation. Most of the trouble is
simple freezing and broken
pipes are comparatively few Out
of the 220 calls received by the
one establishment only six or
seven broken pipes were re
ported. Service stations offered ad
vice for care of cars. Sub-zero
temperatures brought a warn
ing from the Oregon State Mo
tor association.
"Check your anti-freeze for
protection against temperatures
below 10 degrees," It said.
"Check your battery.
"Don't set your hand brake at
night. It can freeze."
A gallon of anti-treeze, Sa
lem operators said, will protect
Oregon State College Given
Physical Ed School by Board
Portland, Ore., Jan. 31 (U.R) The Oregon state board of high
er education has granted a school of physical education to Ore
gon State college, despite objections of Chancellor Paul C. Packer.
The board yesterday approved an undergraduate major in
physical education for the Corvallis school ending a long dispute
between college and University
of Oregon officials. The. univer
sity which had a physical edu
cation school contended a sim
ilar school at Oregon State would
be a duplication of activities and
would be an additional finan
cial burden to the taxpayers.
Oregon State officials claimed a
degree in physical education was
needed so graduates could get
coaching and physical education
teaching jobs.
Dr. Packer asked that action
be deferred on proposed curri
culum changes, including Ore
gon State's proposed major in
physical education, until a "com
prehensive study of curricular
matters" could be presented at
the June meeting of the board.
He also asked for a board
policy staterrient that "the board
will not consider singly any
recommendations which would
affect curriculum allocations un
til such time as the board should
order another comprehensive re
view." Such a policy, he faid, would
prevent an "impression in the
public mind that there is a trend
toward the abandonment of al
locations." The board also:
1. Left elementary teacher
training to the three state col
leges of education.
2. Left fee schedules un
changed at Oregon State and the
university.
3. Approved a fire protec
tion program at the university
to cost the school $22,000 and
the city of Eugene $14,000 for
hose connection lines
4. Accepted gifts and grants
totaling $73,050.

against freezing down to 10 de
grees above zero. Between that
and zero freezing may occur,
but isn't likely to cause break
age, especially if the vehicle is
in a garage. Many cars were
reported frozen Tuesday, but few
damaged.
Warned by radio broadcasts
that sub-zero temperatures
would prevail before morning
motorists Monday night flocked
to service stations to add to their
anti-freeze, or get it if they had
neglected it before. At one sta
tion which operates all night
more than 50 cars were lined up
at one time.
In one instance a pick-up truck
was hoisted to permit installa
tion of tire chains. The mechan
ism of the hoist froze and the
truck was suspended in the air
until blow torches and other
heating devices thawed it out.
People having well-cared-for
shrubbery on their premises are
much worried.
Nurserymen say the snow is
fortunate for shrub owners.
Those who have shrubs deeply
covered with snow should just
leave it there, and even bank
more snow over the bushes.
By no means shake the snow
off. they say. If branches of the
shrubs are sagging it is well to
prop them up, but very gently.
In their frozen conditions they
are very brittle and will break
if handled roughly.
A sudden thaw would cause
damage. Nurserymen doubt that
much damage has been caused
up to this time. Evergreens face
greater danger than dormant
growth, because they are full
of sap.
Dump 50 Million
Bushels Spuds
Washington, Jan. 31 OP)
Secretary of Agriculture Bran
nan proposes to destroy around
50,000,000 bushels of surplus po
tatoes unless congress instructs
him to make some other disposi
tion of them.
This is the quantity of sur
plus potatoes the department
figures it will be unable to dis
pose of through give-away pro
grams to domestic and foreign
relief agencies, the school lunch
program, and diversion to live
stock feed and manufacture into
starch.
The potatoes are being bought
by the department at prices
averaging above $2 for 100
pounds under a price support
program.
Brannan told the senate agri
culture committee today the de
partment would "dump" the po
tatoes "by simply permitting
them to remain in the areas
where they ar produced." He
said that was the cheapest way to
do it.
Senator Anderson (D., N.M.),
a committee member and for
mer secretary of agriculture, put
the blame for the situation on
congress. He urged that con
gress either (1) let the depart
ment control output by limiting
the number of bushels that can
be produced or (2) drop the po
tato price support program.
Anderson contended the pres
ent acreage limitation authorized
by congress is unworkable

Johnson Asks
Strong Defense
Washington, Jan. 31 (IP) Sec
retary of Defense Johnson calls
in his first annual report for
America to stay powerful and
alert until international cooper
ation "is accepted by the adver
saries who are now doing their
utmost to destroy it."
He coupled this call in the re
port issued last night, with a
warning that his country could
be attacked "from the opposite
hemisphere without warning
and with unpredictable fury."
Johnson noted that Russia
now has the atomic explosion
secret. But he also expressed his
belief that "the threat of war
has diminished as our strength
has increased."
He assessed this strength as
the most formidable since the
height of our military power in
1945. Elsewhere he termed the
readiness of our armed forces
and our military potential
"greater today than in any pre
vious peacetime period in our
nation s history."
Johnson urged, at another
point, positive action "to pre
vent piecemeal aggressions,
which unopposed, might lead to
another world war."
Johnson gave armed services
unification some of the credit
for America's current military
strength. He also stressed de
fense cooperation in U.S. world
strategy with the state depart
ment, with which he has been
reported at odds on occasions.
Although United States sys
tems of measurements are based
on British standards, some vary
slightly from the parent.

New York, Jan. 31 W Buy
ers and sellers of stocks had
pretty close ideas on the subject
of prices today.
Most changes were in minor
fractions, with only a handful
running to as much as a point
either way. Gains and losses
were well distributed.
Trading started at a rapid
rate, then steadily slowed down
through the session until a slight
pick-up in the final hour. Turn
over reached a rate of around
1,700,000 shares.
Yesterday the market climb
ed to a new high for Z years,
helped by strong demand for
radio-television stocks. Mem

today's casualties.
Lower prices were paid for
