News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
Washington, Nov. 15. The
specter of inflation is rising be
hind the news. A price adminis
tration assist-
iMuaKv.uii.iuaj ant told a local
audience, Infla
tion is not com
ing, it is here.
Robert Nathan,
r e s p e cted as
the govern
ment's most
evenly bal
anced econom
ist, told a New
York audience:
if rrs
-,-j. Paul Mnllon 'There is no
tjsf question but that we are in a
stage of inflation. Prices have
been rising too fast." Assistant
Treasury Secretary Gaston said
about the same thing in a New
Haven address.
Some of this official talk may
be attributed to the govern
ment's desire to get the price
control and tax bills through
congress. But the point is ac
cepted as sound in the financial
marts outside of government in
fluence. Organizations of col
lege economists are pamphleteer
ing daily concerning the danger.
Panicky booklets are In circula
tion. This is the same kind of in
flation which Mr. Roosevelt told
congress only last July 30th
would ruin the defense effort
and the people not merely
those people who have money
to lose, but the poor who suffer
llP most in the crash that always
follows spirals that get out of
control.
o o
INFLATION could be stopped
but there is no sound evid
ence yet that it will be. Indeed
some administration leftists are
beginning to claim it might not
b-i so bad, saying it is a method
of taxation, a capital levy in dis
guise.
Britain failed to stop the
spiral with the same feeble
measures that we propose to

NEEDS F. R. BOOST
Washington, Nov. 15. (AP
A group of house members, it
was learned today, is drafting
broad, new anti-strike legisla
tion as a preliminary to an at
tempt to force congressional ac
tion on the guestion of restrict
ing defense production stop
pages. The attitude of the adminis
tration toward anti-strike legls-
lation remained obscure, but was
expected to be clarified after the
outcome of the current Captive
Coal mines controversy.
Many of those urging legisla
tion were agreed that none was
likely unless President Roose
velt gave it his support. Expres
sing this opinion, Senator Byrd
(D-Va.) said:
"I don't believe any legislation
will be passed unless the presi-
dent gets behind it. I hope he
does something soon."
Along the same line, Senator
Danaher (R-Conn.) said, "we'll
have to take what he offers us
or we won't get anything."
Southern Democrats in the
house among those most vocal
for legislation were counting
strongly on the publicly-made
promise of Democratic Leader
McCormack that he might have
something to say on Monday,
about the general labor situa
tion. BOYLEN TRIAL OPENS

IN WAKE
OF RECORD RAIN
Many Marooned In Homes
Willamette Highway
Closed S o u t h Traffic
Limited.
Eugene, Nov. 15. (JP) The
Willamette river at Eugene
reached a depth of 14 feet, two
feet over flood stage, at 7:30 p.
m. Saturday, flooding scores of
square miles of lowlands, and
causing several thousand dollars
damage to homes, farmland and
commercial buildings.
All traffic on highway 99
southward, excepting big busses
and trucks, was halted by the
flood. The Willamette highway
east of Goshen was entirely
closed. v
Many persons were marooned
in their homes by highway
floods. Scores of shoppers in
Eugene were unable to return
to their homes tonight.
Highway service stations were
closed as waters lapped at door
ways, and residents and mer
chants of West Springfield
moved household goods and
store stocks to higher ground.
A crest of 15 feet was ex
pected to result from the torren
tial rainfall of the past 36 hours,'
which brought an unprecedented
3.7 inches of moisture. The
river rose in a 24-hour period
from below zero to the 14-foot
stage.
Resident and merchants of
West Springfield started mov
ing household goods and store
stocks to higher grounds as the
waters threatened the worst
flood since 1927.
The Willamette highway was
closed by water in the lowlands
and by snow that piled deep on
the summit of the Cascades.
The flood inched up on the
Pacific highway, and at Judkins
Point near here covered it to a
depth of two Inches.
With further rise expected,
the state highway department
waited to learn whether rebuild
ing of the road after the last
flood had made it high enough
to remain open in the present
emergency.
In Eugene, water from the
Amazon drainage ditch flooded
streets In the west part of the
city.
The Willamette river splashed
over flood stage of 12 feet short
ly before 6 p. m., to a level of
13 feet.
At Jefferson, where the swell
ing Santiam rivers Join the Wil
lamette, the waters rose to 15
feet, two feet over flood stage.
Floods were not threatened im
mediately at other down-river
points, but Albany reported the
Willamette up six feet during
the afternoon; Salem, up three
feet and Portland up two feet.

Destruction of 20 troop-laden
German transports attempting a
sneak-landing along the frozen
wastes of the Murmansk coast
was announced today (Sunday)
by the Russians.
The report of this smashing
success on the far northern front
was accompanied by a Moscow
radio announcement ot another
victory in the south annihila
tion of 2,500 Italian In th
Donets basin.
In Its account of the Arctie
victory, the Moscow radio said
Russian troops made a forced
seven-mile march across frozen

to foil th Nazis.

While admitting a critical

Even in th Crimea, th
Russians said their Red armies
still held perimeters of defense
around the strategic port ot
Kerch, gateway to th Caucasus
oil treasures, and at Sevastopol.
A bulletin from Hitler's east

however, and apparently little
