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.

SNELL WILL HEAR
PLEAS FOR FOLKES
Salem, Ore., Dec. 21 U.B
Gov. 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. Yule Program at
