(IP) Albert Burch of Medford, state mina department director who headed the local federal survey of war-strategic chromite in the world war, today urged a base price of $50 a ton at railhead for 45 percent chromite at to day's senate subcommittee hear ing on strategic and critical minerals. The hearing continued into the afternoon because of what Senator Rufus Holman declared was an amazing number of wit nesses. r.rnt Pass. Au. 19. VP) Mine prospectors, owners, oper- I.I. 1 aiors ana expiuiicis uwi n.i western states told their story here today of need for financial aid from the government to de velop strategic and critical min erals necessary for all-out de fense. Senator Rufus Holman, con ducting the session for a sub committee of the senate military affairs committee, heard testi mony presented by representa tives of the more than 125 registrants who came not only from the southwestern Oregon and northern California mining district, but over the entire state, and from Washington, Idaho, and Arizona as well. One attend ant was present to press the merits of a faraway Alaskan mineral deposit. . Prices Main Itam Pictured most prominently was the need of assurance by the government that adequate prices would be paid to cover the cost of extracting chromite manganese, and other strategic minerals which cost far more to produce domestically from low grade supplies than to import from rich supplies abroad when ships are available. In general. the witnesses de clared deposits are smBll and Inaccessible, requiring difficult mountain roads, laborious ex traction, and expensive process ing. They asked federal buyers to come into the field since few or none of the producers can af ford to go to Washington. They asked guarantees of purchase, recalling that at the close of the World war the warket for ex pensively produced domestic chromite collapsed. Malone Aids ' Assisting Holman in the hear ing were George Malone, repre senting the war department, Earl K. Nixon, state mining depart ment director, and a chamber of commerce committee headed by F. I. Bristol, Silica producer. Minerals represented as oc xirinn In Oreifon ranked from those desperately needed for the defense euori 10 mose in wmtn there Is no question of shortage such as gold.

IS URGED 10 ACCEPT By the Associated Press Reports spread today that President Roosevelt was appeal ing to the Federal Shipbuilding and Drydock company to accept recommendations of the na tional board and bring an end to the strike which for 12 days has held up $493,000,000 worth of work at the firm's huge Kearny, N. J., yard. In the event the appeal was rejected, declared the authori tative sources from which the reports came, the government was prepared to move in, take over and operate the yard which holds contracts for a number of navy vessels. The CIO union, whose strike call made 16,000 workers idle, insists that the company accept the mediation board's recom mendation for a union malnten ance clause In the working contract. A strike of the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen at the Mich igan City, Ind., plant of the Pullman Standard Car Manufac turing company took about 1,800 workers off their Jobs yes terday.

VP) President Roosevelt has com missioned Judge Samuel I. Rose man of the New York state su preme court to make a study of differences between the Of fice of Production Management and the Office of Price Admin istration and Civilian Supply. In making this known today. Stephen Early, presidential sec retary, said that Rosenman, an old friend and advisor of the chief executive, was still in Washington but he did not know whether a report was ready for Mr. Roosevelt. OPM and POACS have not seen eye to eye on some policy matters, such as a proposed curtailment of automobile pro duction to make room for ex panded defense output by motor car plants. Asked whether he had heard that a super defense agency might be organized with Vice President Wallace In charge, Early said he did not know whether that was right or not. Policy Board Talked One plan reported under con sideration was creation of a pol icy board. It was said to have the backing both of Rosenman and the budget bureau. Although the policy board plan was said to be under con sideration, other sources claim ed Mr. Roosevelt had been talk ing informally of appointing a single head for the entire de fense program. Reports of an Imminent re alignment in defense agency machinery have been current here ever since Mr. Roosevelt failed to appoint a head for the original national defense advis ory commission, now inactive. But they got a stronger leas'! on life recently when William S Knudsen, director of the Office of Production Management, and Leon Henderson, defense price administrator, split publicly over the question of how much automobile production should be reduced. One high-placed official, call ing the automobile controversy "Just a small sample of what has been going on," described the alleged conflicts within var ious defense agencies as a "mess." Life in Moscow Is Adjusted To Nightly Visits of Raiders By Hsnry C. Cassidy Moscow, Aug. 19. VP) Mos cow's millions, who have been keeping an almost nightly ren dezvous with German raiders for a month, have adjusted their lives to make the appointment as pleasant as possible. The most noticeable change in life in this capital has been the disruption by the modern aerial visitors of the centuries old Muscovite custom of calling at the home of friends and pass ing the long evenings drinking tea and talking. Muscovites take it all with characteristic Slavic calm. Whether it be bombing or some other discomfort of war, they shrug their shoulders and say "nichevo" so what. Until the bombings began July 21 the war had wrought comparatively few changes in life in Moscow. The capital was blacked out, a midnight curfew was establish ed, rationing was introduced, pa. triotic posters appeared, and men marched away to war, but for those who stayed here the front seemed far away and in Moscow it was business as usual. Bombings brought the aerial front to the capital. The Metro, which Muscovites j regard as the most modern sub way system in the world, took on new importance as an air raid shelter. It was built by Lazar Kagano vich, now soviet commissar of railroads, and put into opera tion in 1935. Lines extend 16 and one-half miles with 15 sta tions, each with a different mod ernistic design. Since the bombings began, trains have stopped running at 8 p.m. Children and women ac companying children are per mitted to enter the stations at that time to sleep In the long tunnels. Nurses and militia are on duty and wake the women and chil dren and send them home when the all-clear sounds. The raids have become light er and more sporadic recently. prompting sarcastic comments from the crowds. Restaurants and theatres con tinue to operate, but close be fore the hour when air-raid alarms usually sound. IAPAN WARNS U.S. ON RUS1N AID Tokyo, Aug. 19. F) U. S. Ambassador Joseph C. Grew said today that for a consider able period of time he had been "talking with the Japanese gov ernment about restrictions on Americans leaving Japan and other problems related to Unit ed State citizens." The ambassador's statement came as Koh Ishil, cabinet in formation bureau spokesman, denied that the Japanese gov ernment intends to hold Amer icans as hostages. Pick Waice Psachas The Dalles.

VP) A 40th division army convoy pulled out of Klamath Falls yes terday, leaving Private Dennis Secrist behind. One hundred and sixty-five miles later the convoy rolled into Redmond, to find Private Secrist awaiting the trucks. He had motorized himself with his thumb. S.0.SJMPL0YES An example of patriotic thrift for defense purposes was given by Southern Oregon Sales, Inc., to about 300 plant employes this noon when each worker re ceived a defense savings stamp book containing a 25-cent stamp as a gift from the firm. Leonard Carpenter, president, told the employes at an assem bly just before the luncheon hour that during the packing season the company would add a 25-cent stamp each week that the worker himself bought at least a dollar's worth of the stamps. The fruit company, a cooper ative, initiated the generous of fer as a means of furthering the sale of defense savings bonds and stamps and of impressing the employes with the import ance of help from everyone, no matter how small might be the individual assistance. Mr. Carpenter likened the situation to "the mighty Rogue river" which, he pointed out, is made up of trickles and rivu lets. So must the defense effort and its financing, he empha sized, be made up of small in dividual efforts and investments. r.nt s. M. Turtle. SOS gen eral manager, pointed out to the assembled employes that in many countries of the world freedom had been replaced by slavery and servitude and em phasized that only Great Britain and this country remain bul warks of freedom.
