Young Denies (Continued from Page 1) In opening the hearing, Chair man Fulbright (D., Ark.), said the aim is to "show we were not talking through our hat" when the subcommittee made its charges of political influence, and favoritism in RFC loan op erations. Days of Questioning Young faced possibly days of questioning concerning his swift rise since 1940 from assistant messenger in government ser vice to an industrial executive drawing $28,000 a year from two firms that didn't get along. Young s wife is employed as a White House stenographer. The subcommittee in a recent report to the senate said "close person al relationships exist" between Young and Dawson in a group of those "who appear to have ex ercised influence over the RFC." It accused RFC directors Wal ter L. Dunham, William E. Wil- lett and C. Edward Rowe of sub servience to Young, Dawson and others, including William M. Boyle, Jr., democratic national chairman. All denied it except Dawson, who has not commen ted. Glaisyer Now Lf. Colonel Promotion from the rating of major to lieutenant colonel has been accorded Herbert B.

' : Enemy Blocks (Continued from Page 1) On the west central front, ad vance patrols were moving ahead north of Chipyong where French-American force last week smashed a massive Red counter-attack. 40,000 Reds in Arc Scattered in an arc north of the Wonju salient were 40,000 communist troops who had pull ed back from the attack to lick their wounds. U.S. Fifth air force planes roared out again Wednesday in support of ground troops. Big naval guns rocked both coasts of Korea. The battleship Missouri bom barded the Tanchon area in far northeastern Korea all day Tues day. Other allied naval forces bucked strong shore batteries around Wonsan on the Sea of Japan coast for the seventh straight day. The U.S. cruiser St. Paul stood off Inchon port on the Yellow Sea and poured heavy fire into Red concentrations north of the thawing Han river around Red-held Seoul. Capture Chanchon In their first big lunge since General MacArthur ordered his troops to resume the initiative, allied troops swept northward 10 miles and captured Chunchon town. Chunchon is 10 miles north of Chechon, objective of a commu nist slash a few days ago on the east eentral front. The area has been a no-man's land. The U.S. eighth armv commu nique Wednesday said the allied troops had encountered no en emy troops in the northward thrust. Field dispatches said the Reds were pulling back so fast that they were leaving equipment and dead in the snow. A U.S. 10th corps spokesman said there was evidence of a hasty enemy retreat on the cen tral fronts. STOCKS By the Aaaoclated.

She was cracking nuts for the pudding at about 10:20 a.m., when her telephone rang. It was Mel Vanter calling from San Francisco on Mutual's Tello-Test" radio quiz program. Mrs. Amundson was asked, "Who was the Shakespeare of music?" Mrs. Amundson promptly an swered "Beethoven." She was right. She won the radio pro gram s $655 jackpot. For the next half hour, Mrs. Amundson was swamped with calls from friends calling to con gratulate her. Mrs. Amundson, who has five children and eight grand children, plans to give 10 per cent of her prize to her church. The rest she'll put in the bank until she decides what to do with it. War Prevention (Continued from Page 1) He added he knew what he was talking about because he has studied history. "I know we are going through some of the things that were gone through in 1860, 1916, and 1941," he said. "We have to understand," Mr. Truman said, "that we are faced with an unmoral force which does not keep its agreements, which does not believe in the things for which this government stands and for which the other free governments of the world do stand." With Mr. Truman at the break fast were almost all his cabinet officers, justices of the supreme court and congressional leaders. Speakers preceding the pres ident gave him such a buildup, that at times' it sounded more like a political convention than a gathering of the Masonic or der. Mr. Truman seemed to think , too, for he began by saying: "This looks like a fixed-up proposition." But, he said, he'd merely wanted the cabinet of ficers to explain what this coun try is up against. Secretary of Defense Marshall called for support of the man power bill before congress which provides for the drafting of 18-year-olds. Marshall said the program is essential for this country s de fense and that "here at long last we finally can do it (pass a universal military training bill). Let's not get led off on every little thing that comes along." Secretary of State Acheson praised Mr. Truman's courage and said "We owe a duty to him to show similar courage our selves." Hubbard The St. Agnes Altar society met Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Wencel Dou brava. president. Election of of ficers was held and Mrs. Dou brava was re-elected president. New officers include Mrs. Mc Grath as vice president. Mrs. Fe lix Hassing as secretary, and Miss Marry Bronec as treasurer. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Pete Klenski March 6.

Junior Farmers Need Support, Conclave Told Woodburn Steps to strengthen the Junior Farmer's Union pro gram should be taken at once, Ronald E. Jones, president of the Oregon State Farmer's Union warned members at its 41st annual convention in Woodburn yesterday. Jones pointed out that the junior program is now dependent upon national support and should- be brought under state finances to insure its continuation. The state president urged so-! cial security for farmers; fam ily sized farms and small busi ness; watchful guarding of the control of rural schools and a closer relationship between the organization and state lawmak ers. He favored pay as you go policies. Further danger to the Junior union was seen by J. Ralph Beck of the Oregon State college ex tension service who said that it is becoming increasingly diffi cult for young farmers to get a start because of a flood of ur ban capital seeking farm invest ments. Many New Members Lyle Thomas, state secretary called attention to a healhful condition of the union pointing to a 60 per cent increase in mem bership during the last year.

Seek to Impose (Continued from Page 1) Members of the house tax com mittee estimated that the state could weather the first year of the biennium by applying corpo rate and personal income tax revenues together with all mis cellaneous receipts, estimated in all at $66,800,000 to meet the first year's share of the budget. Unless this budget is reduced by the ways and means committee, $86,000,000 would be required in the first year. Deducting the estimated sur plus in t h e property reduction fund of $31,800,000 the state would wind up its first year with a balance of $11,700,000 . The total requirements for the second year of the biennium are estimated at $93,000,000 duo to an expected increase in the ba sic school distribution due to ad ditional school enrollment. The state will have an esti mated revenue from all sources of $63,000,000 in the second year to which the $11,700,000 balance will be added, leaving a deficit of $18,400,000. There are several sources of additional revenue that may be used to reduce this estimated deficit, including $4,000,000 to be saved through an error In the estimated school census reducing tho number of school children from 396,000 to approximately 360,000 for the next school year. A proposed cigarette tax would yield approximately 515,000,000 to meet bonus payments. The committee also expects to pick up $2,500,000 from t h e World War II veterans fund, in which there is a present surplus of more than $7,000,000. Also a saving in the first year of bon us payment estimated at $1,500,- 000 is believed possible by com mittee members. Rep. Rudie Wclhelm, chairman oMhe house tax committee and also a member of the ways and means committee expects the lat ter committee to make drastic slashes in the budgets of the wel fare department and the board of higher education which will further reduce the amount of money that must bo raised by state property tax. Attention was called by Wil helm and others on tho commit tee . that the voters had been warned repeatedly before the last election that adoption of the revenue measures on the Novem ber ballot would result in state property taxes.
