Cold Wave Hits
All Northwest
(By the Associated Pre&s)
A mass of Polar air that swept
down from the Arctic erased
hopes for an early spring over
most of the Pacific northwest
last night and brought Spokane
its coldest March 11 in 68 years
today. It was 7 above there.
There were five inches of snow
on the ground ,in the inland
empire and about the only thing
that looked like spring was the
bright sun that rose in a cloud
less sky today.
Oregon escaped the worst cold.
The lowest reading was at Klam
ath Falls, with 12 above. Lake
view had 16, and Bend 17. Most
other readings were in the 20s
and 30s.
A scattering of snow was re
ported over the state. Klamath
Falls was blanketed in snow, a
little less than an inch. There
were patches on Portlands' hills
The weather bureau predicted
colder weather in all of Oregon
tonight down to 10 in some
parts of eastern Oregon, and
down to 25 in western Oregon
It was 27 above in Salem Satur
day, 270 Declarations

committeewomen came over the
counter wrapped in a rubber
band.
Many of the filings were for
precincts in which there has not
been democratic committeemen
or committeewomen previously.
Also filing on the final day
were about 25 republican can
didates for precinct committee

Carrier Division
ForPacificLooms
Washington, March HOT
The navy is splitting up its car
rier division five in the Pacific
to reestablish carrier division
three.
There has been only one car
rier division in the Pacific since
last June when the carriers
Princeton and Antietan were or
dered laid up.
Under the split, Rear Adm.
John M. Hoskins of Pineville,
Ky., will head the new division

to the commander of the Pacific
fleet's air force. That post will
go to Capt. Thomas B. William

May Buy Pork to
Keep Prices Up
Chicago, . March" 11 OT The
government may have to buy
pork within the next few weeks
to keep hog prices up, the pro
duction and marketing adminis
tration of the agriculture depart
ment said today.
Average cost of barrows and
gilts at Chicago fell under the
federal support level at the close
of this week, the administration's
market information service said.
"Moreover," it added, "the
combined average cost at seven
markets for the week may have
been under the government
guide as a result of the late
downturn in prices.
"With fall pigs already start
ing to market and threatening
prices, the department of agri
culture may find it necessary to
buy pork within the next few
weeks in order to keep prices
up."
The point at which the govern
ment must buy pork is based on
a mathematical formula. Its es
sence is a "guide" price for seven
midwestern markets. When the
average price of barrows and
gilts at these markets sell below
the "guide" price, government
support operations may be called
into play.
The guide price for all of
March is $16.65 a hundred
pounds. In the .week ended
March- 4 the average price of
barrows and' gilts was only 21
cents above the guide, or $16.86.
The average price for this week
will not be announced until
Monday.
Molalla Sawmill
Worker Dies in Names
Oregon City, March 11 OT
Reuben Robert Hildebrandt, 45-
year-old sawmill worker who
was married only three weeks
ago, burned to death last night
in his cabin near a sawmill five
miles from Molalla.
It was Clackamas county's
ninth fire fatality in three days.
A family of eight perished at a
sawmill camp near Sandy Wed
nesday. The mill owner, George Lind
say, saw the blaze and tried to
rescue Hildebrandt, but was un
able to brave the flames. Cor
oner Ray Rilance said Hilde
brandt apparently fell asleep
while smoking.
Hildebrandt's wife, a Cana
dian, had left just yesterday for
New Westminster, B.C., to obtain
papers for permanent re-entry
into this country. Her maiden
name was not available.
Speerstra, owners of the property
?and the petitioners, have
sup
porting them the city planning
and zoning commission, which
has recommended the change to
the city council.
Against them they have the
state capitol planning commis
sion and the Salem long-range
planning commission.
What the city council, which
has the final say, will do about
it is the issue Monday night. The
ordinance bill was introduced
two weeks ago and is on the
calendar for third reading and
final action.
It is known that Rhoten will
be present to take part in the
debate, also that the state com
mission and the long-range com
mission will be represented.
Other speakers are expected.
The question is controversial
because the property is on the
fringe of the capitol zone where
the state commission wants a
ban on commercial enterprises.
Another public hearing Mon
day night will be on the ques
tion of 40-foot-set-back lines
from the center line of Portland
road (Highway 99E) from Lana
avenue to the north city limit.
The set-back is requested by the
state highway department.
Whether the two daylight sav
ing ordinance bills will be in
troduced Monday night is a
question. One would make day
light saving time automatic
every year, the other would set
the dates for it this year. The
bills were prepared prior to the
last February meeting of the
council, but were not introduced.
They are strongly opposed by
various organizations.
Among bills for third reading
is one giving the South Salem
Friends church authority to erect
a neon sign that was presented
the church.
A bill restricting fireworks
may be introduced. On the
agenda will be a large number of
sidewalk resolutions for new
walks in Rosedale annex, North
Salem, Cardwell, Highland ave
nue and Kay's Second additions.

Pope Pius Calls
Prayer Crusade
To Urge Peace
Says Armament Race
Leaves Souls of All
Fearful
Vatican City, March 11 (P)
Pope Pius XII declared i n
a worldwide encyclical today the
armaments race leaves "the souls
of all fearful and suspended."
He called for a "crusade of pray-
on Passion Sunday, March
26, to invoke of God "opportune
remedies to prevent evils."
Although war has ceased al
most everywhere, nevertheless
desired peace, a solid and stable
peace that could happily resolve
the many and always increasing
motives of discord, has not ar
rived. Many nations place ob
stacles in each others path and
as trust fades there is a race to
re-arm leaving the souls of all
fearful and suspended."
Uplifted by Pilgrims
The pope said the sight of Pil
grims flowng to Rome for holy
year "has sweetly uplifted us."
Nevertheless, he added, "reas
ons of distress and anxiety are
not lacking which sadden our pa
ternal spirit.
The pontiff said the "root of
all evil" was that "not infre
quentiy truth is replaced by
falsehood which is used as an in
strument of dispute."
Without mentioning them by
name, the pope clearly lashed out
against, communist countries
which, he said, were "not few,'
and where "the rights of God,
of the church and of human na
ture itself is being offended and
downtrodden."

Calls for Fast
On Atomic Bomb
Bexhill, Eng., March 11 OT
A Church of England pastor
called on Britons today to stop
work and begin a solemn fast
March 26 unless a national com
mittee is formed to demand ne
gotiations on atomic weapons
between the U.S. and Russia.
The vicar, the Rev. R. S. S.
Waterson, said in an interview
the committee should include
political, church and civic lead
ers and experts on atomic ener
gy. He compared the proposed
protest to the passive resistance
movement of the late Mohandas
K. Gandhi.
'This is not a sword hanging
over an individual," he said,
"but a doom hovering over the
world, and we must act in accor
dance with the seriousness of
tho situation.
'Let us demand the immedi
ate formation of a national com
mittee to open negotiations with
Russia and the U.S.A. and to de
fine a policy on the use of the
bomb.
'If the demand has not been
met by March 26, let all Christ-
people cease work and be
gin a fast until the national com
mittee is appointed.
'This will be drastic action
and will threaten our product
tion, but the threat to production
is not as serious as the hydrogen
bomb threat to our civilization.''

St. Augustine's with St. Andrew

Asks McCarthy
tor rroor or
Red Infiltration
Washington, March 11 OT
Deputy Undersecretary of State
John E. Pcurifoy challenged
Senator McCarthy (R, Wis.), in
effect today to put up or shut up
on all his charges of communist
infiltration in the state depart
ment. "This is much too Important
to the country and its foreign po
licy to be left to innuendo,"
Peurifoy said in a statement is
sued at the department.
He implied that reliance on
innuendo is back of McCarthy's
announced plan to build his evi
dence against the state depart
ment on a few "thoroughly docu
mented" cases instead of trying
to present complete details on
all the cases of alleged disloyalty
which the senator has mention
ed.
Fuchs Passed on
All A-Secrets
Washington, March 11 OT
Dr. Klaus Fuchs, confessed Rus
sian spy, may have stripped the
United States' scientific cup
board bare of all but its latest
atomic secrets.
Further, it is considered like
ly among those familiar with
the situation that he could have
passed on to the Soviets highly
educated guesses, ' to say tne
least, about the rate of U.S. A
bomb production and the size of
this country's stockpile.
Both are closely guarded sec
rets. So is all data connected
with development of the poten
tially more deadly hydrogen
bomb. Fuchs was familiar with
the theory of the H-bomb, too.
Members of the senate-house
atomic energy committee who
saw the Fuchs' confession for
the first time yesterday took a
grave view of the matter. Sena
tor McMahon (D-Conn), com
mittee chairman, declined to
say what was in it or answer
minstlnnR about it.
The confession, passed on by
the British, reached the joint
committee through the' federal
bureau of investigation and the
atomic energy commission. AEC
officials met with the committee
behind closed doors to go over
the document.
