Landlords Are Not Permitted To Cut Heat In Buildings Rent control officials are em powered to "put the heat" on landlords who leave their ten ants in the cold, Daniel D. Gage, district OPA rent director, ad vised today, following reports that some landlords are reduc ing heat. At the same time, Gage cau tioned tenants to conserve heat and prevent waste by taking proper precautions. He pointed out that fuel oil is rationed and landlords must stretch their al lotment through the year. "In general, the rent regula tion! require landlords to fur nish substantially the same serv ice they gave on the rent freeze date," Gage explained, "and this applies to heat and hot water as well."

President and Military Leaders In Holiday Greetings To Fighters Promise New, Powerful 1945 Blows Washington, Dec. 21 U.R) President Roosevelt and leaders pf the armed forces, in holiday greeting messages to service men and women throughout the world, today hailed American military progress in 1944 and promised new and powerful blows against the enemy in 1945. "On behalf of a grateful na tion," Mr. Roosevelt said, "I send to the men and women of our armed forces everywhere warm and confident good wishes this fourth Christmas of war. On Christmas day, rrfore than on any other day, we remember you with pride and with humil ity, with anguish and with joy. We shall keep on remembering you all the days of our lives." Word To Wounded In a special message to wound ed and ill fighters, he said they "have given -your blood and health to restore to Christmas its meaning and to make the spirit of Christmas genuinely prevail throughout the world." "It takes courage to fight on a battlefront and it takes courage to fight from a hospital bed," he said. "We would not cheapen your hours of heroism by wish ing you a 'Merry Christmas,' but we wish you to know that we are with you in spirit, in comradeship, and in faith." Secretary of Navy James For restal said, "Your efforts have brought us all nearer to the day of victory to the day when we shall agalns know 'Peace on Earth'." Meaning Restored Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson told members of the armed forces that "this year, be cause of you, the meaning of Christmas has been restored," to persons In liberated areas "whom you have rescued from the opresslon and misery en gendered by a savage foe." "New and more powerful blows . . . that will bring us closer to victory and peace" were promised by Admiral Ches ter W. Nimitz, commander-in-chief of the Pacific fleet, who added that "there is comfort in the knowledge that the extent of our distance from home is a measure of our success in beat ing back the aggressor Japan and that through our Joint ef forts all danger to our homes and families has been removed." "The nation is thankful for the victories of recent months," said Gen. George C. Marshall, army chief of staff. LOG HAULERS IN EUGENE SECTION RETURN TO IRK Eugene, Ore., Dee. 21 U.R) Yielding to pleas of lumbermen, 200 striking log haulers in the Eugene area today were return ing to york after a day's strike in protest against the dumping of overweight logs by weighers at state weighing stations. But feeling still ran high among the haulers, who long have resented state laws that empower police to roll logs off trucks or cut off a log unffl the load conforms with the legal limit. Outcome of the dispute rests upon, action taken at a meeting in Salem, called for this after noon, by Governor Snell to dis cuss the grievances. The truckers started going back to work after lumber op erators made special pleas to the men, in order that lumber pro duction for vital war purposes might not be halted. Several of the smaller mills in this area were forced to close because of lack of logs.

Earl Snell will hear argu ments Friday in favor of execu tive clemency for Robert E. Lee Folkes, 22, condemned "Lower 13" murderer, when a delega tion of Oregon citizens visit him here to plead for Folkes life. Folkes, who was convicted in Linn county of the first degree murder of Martha Virginia James, pretty navy bride, aboard a limited train near Albany in January, 1943, has lost appeals to both the state and the U. S. supreme courts. He is scheduled for execution In the state's lethal gas chamber on January S. Most of the arguments advo cating clemency for Folkes are based upon the dissenting opin ion of State Supreme Court Jus tice George Rossman, who held that Folkes was convicted im properly.
