With the t e m p e r a t.u r e reaching 49 degrees early in the afternoon, weather here was almost balmy for the sec ond consecutive day. Yester day the mercury climbed to a high of 47. Lowest this morning was 38. The December wet spell was to be extended a little longer into January, the weather bureau said. By the Associated Press Most of the United States lay under a cover of snow today as the severest weather of the sea son reached the Atlantic coast. Light to heavy snows have fallen since Saturday in at least 28 states. It was still snowing In New England, where temper atures ranged from seven below zero at Bangor, Me., to around 16 above at New Haven, Conn. The greatest amount of snow reported this morning was 24 Inches at Clinton, Mo. The cov er at Fort Smith, Ark., was 18 Inches deep. It was still snowing In some sections of Missouri. Maryland Record Three to IS Inches of snow fell in Maryland, a record for the winter, and about 200 plows worked all night to clear the roads. Congressmen at Washing ton went about their business in snow more than five inches deep. Ice disrupted Monongahela river transportation and caused a Pennsylvania coal mine to shut down, throwing 300 men out of work. There were light snows reported in New York and New Jersey. Most of Kentucky was still pnow-covcrcd, with the tempera ture dropping generally from the, low 30's. The Ohio river was completely frozen over at one point near Louisville. The coldest weather since 1036 penetrated to the gulf in southeastern Texas. Port Arthur reported the temperature at 27 above. It was 26 above at Hous ton and 15 above at Dallas. Paris, in northeastern Texas, shivered In the coldest snan In nine years. The temperature was seven above. Arkansas Chilled At Fayetteville, in northwest ern Arkansas, the thermometer read two above zero, the lowest In four years. It was snowing in Kansas, where five inches of snow fell Saturday, and a new cover of mow In Iowa ranged up to sev en Inches. Wisconsin and Illinois had more than two Inches of snow yesterday. Except in the mountains, there were no snow flakes in California, but a general rain in the southern part of the state was approaching the two-inch mark. Portland, Jan. B.UT) South east storm warnings fluttered along the coast from Eureka, Calif., to Tntoosh Islnnd, Wash., today, while cold winds and overcast skies kept Oregon tem peratures down. The federal weather bureau predicted unsettled weather to night and Tuesday with light intermittent snow or rain in eastern Oregon and rain in the west. Moderately heavy snows will fall in the mountains, although temperatures will change little. Burns and Bend recorded minimum temperatures of 35 degrees today to oust Baker as the coldest spot in the state. London, Jan. 8. (P) In formed sources said the British rationing system which started i for butter, bacon, ham and su ! gar today may be ultimately ex tended to Include clothing and similar materials to conserve raw materials. The conservation would be coupled with a big effort to In crease shipbuilding and ship ping resources. The Authoritative British press association said the gov ernment "may ask the country for still greater sacrifices in the near future, including further rationing which may ultimately go beyond food and even in clude some standardization of suits." Royalty Unexempt The royal family has been is sued "commercial travellers' cards" similar to those used by all people who must move about the country. At the king's re quest, rationing will be as strict as possible for the royal family, and the queen has drawn up special menus which eliminate two courses from luncheon and dinner. A British attempt to corner Germany's world markets through a drive for trade trea ties with German customers was disclosed today. Objective of the tightened economic warfare, supplement ing Britain's two way sea block ade of German commerce, was described as two fold: 1. To assure maintenance, as far as possible, of normal peace time trade relations with neu trals and expand British export trade to provide dollars and other foreign exchange for buy ing war materials. 2. Conversely, to assure that not more than normal peace time trade goes on between Ger many and the neutrals with whom she can deal overland and, where possible, through diplomacy and trade maneuver ing to cut down Germany's Eur opean import-export business and deprive her both of supplies and foreign exchange for buy ing them. Use Ration Books Housewives for the first time took ration books to market to day to buy butter, bacon, ham and sugar. Next Monday, they will need their books for other meats. Each housewife is registered with her merchant, and he has been allotted supplies so she can buy each member of her fam ily four ounces of bacon or ham, four ounces of butter and 12 ounces of sugar a week. For children under six, however, the allowance is half. Restaurant diners do not need coupons for the rationed foods, but their servings are restricted to one-sixth of an ounce of but ter and one-seventh of an ounce of sugar with each meal, plus another seventh of an ounce of sugar for each hot beverage. ' i 'fi FCA H EA DCnanre In the farm lending policies of the or ganization may follow recent appointment by F.D.R. of Dr. A. G. Black (above) as gover nor of the federal credit ad ministration. He succeeds F. F, ' Hill, who resigned post. FAR EAST THREAT CITED IN (continued itom page one) E II Chicago, Jan. 8. (.T) Rufus C. Dawes, 72, president of Chi cago's a Century of Progress ex position and brother of former Vice-president Charles G. Dawes, died today. His secretary said he died suddenly at his home. Dawes had been in relatively good health, his aids said, until late Saturday night when ho suffered a heart attack. He ral lied yesterday, but died sudden ly this morning. A son, Charles C. Dawes, said death was caused by coronary thrombosis. Tentative arrange ments were made for funeral services. DEFENSE PLANS The new national defense pro gram and its relation to the na tion's security were described by Capt. Carl Y. Tengwald at today's luncheon-meeting of the Kiwanls club in the Hotel Med ford. Captain Tengwald. command ing Company A, 186th Infantry of the Oregon national guard, also told of recent developments in rifles and other equipment of the American soldier. He ex plained the organization of Medford's two national guard companies and told what they meant to the community not only in national and local de fense but also as a source of revenue. Guests Included the Rev. L. K. Johnson, Klamath Falls Ki wanian, Dr. Walter E. Hoppe. Raymond R. Reter, Ralph E. Sweeney and Fritz Nissrn. Stark said the plans still called for an approximate 25 per cent tonnage increase, but did not specify what categories of ships would be enlarged. He did not make clear imme diately whether the navy had decided to include some battle ships in the program, previously omitted, or whether the change meant the navy had decided on battleships larger than 45,000 tons, the current maximum. Congressional wariness of rais ing the national debt limit ap peared today to lessen the chnnccs of additional defense measures which ore being draft ed by the war and navy deport ments in the hope of administra tion backing. Both branches were reported In administration quarters to have been counting on prompt approval of the $2,248,126,509 military appropriations which Mr. Roosevelt submitted last week to clear the way for re quests for supplemental funds later in the session. Army's Sharo Short The a r m y's $1,007,356,596 share fell far short of meeting the general staff's estimate of the cost of "critical" items for the so-colled initial protective force. A $850,000,000 estimate orig inally requested for additional guns, ammunition and supplies for a force of upwards of a mil lion men was slashed. The war department said only approxi mately $53,000,000 was included in both regular and emergency budgets specifically for the pur pose. If congress adopts the presi dent's budget and votes S4B0, 000.000 for special defense taxes, the federal deficit will approach the $45,000,000,000 mark the maximum set by law. There has been no general disposition in congress so far to move to In crease that limit. Heads Baptist Young Eugene. Jan. 8. Ronald Adams of Salem was elected state president of the Oregon Boptist Young People's Vnion here Saturday. Tokyo, Jan. 8. (IP) The Jap anese cabinet decided today the time now was ripe for establish ment of a central government for all occupied territory in China under Wang Ching-Wei, former Chinese premier, now at odds with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek. It was understood reliably a regime similar to those already existing in Peiping and Nanking would be launched immediately, but it would not acquire actual powers until later. The Peiping and Nanking governments are run nominally by Chinese co operating with the Japanese army. Wang, whose final break with Generalissimo Chiang came just a year ago, when he was ousted from all government and Chi nese nationalist party offices be cause of his friendliness with the Japanese, has been living re cently in Shanghai. Declaring Wang's aims are "In general In line with the mani fest intentions of the Japanese empire," the cabinet's chief sec retary announced Japan would "direct all possible efforts to help in the formation and ex pansion of the proposed new government." Details of the assistance to be' given were not disclosed. The new centralized Chinese ffnvpmmpnt WnitlH cmrtlonf rt- Kiuutii rugimus now sponsotea oy the Japanese for control of oc cupied territory in north and south China and the Yangtze river valley. Wang Ching-Wei has wielded a powerful political influence in Chinese political life since 1905. A companion of Dr. Sun Yat-I Sen in the foundation of the Chi- j nese republic, he was named na-. tional government chairman in 1925. The 59-year-old leader has re nounced his goal of an Indepond-1 ent China to assist the Japanese ! in establishing a "new order in east Asia." He has explained his stund thus: "We cannot defeat the Japanese, therefore we .must' be friends with them. They have offered us an honorable peace." j TO Washington, Jan. 8. P) Counsel for a house investigat-1 ing committee contended today 1 the national labor relations board had permitted a lawyer in its employ to remain on its stoff despite testimony that he was partial to the CIO. Edmund M. Tolind, attorney for the committee, presented records which he said showed that witnesses in a case against the American Radiator com pany of Litchfield, 111., had quoted Jack Davis, a board lawyer, as saying: "Of course, you know that I am working for the CIO and the CIO will benefit you by back pay. Toland named one of those quoted as Roy Chaplin. He at tributed other statements con cerning Davis to H. E. EUedge. City Health Officer Pi-lncvllle. Jon. 8.
