Oregon Solon Vows to De
nounce OPA Every Day;
Says Bowles Incompetent
Washington, July 10 (U.R)
Sen. Wayne Morse, R., Ore., to
day demanded a continuing sen
ate investigation of "incompe
tence and gross maladministra
tion of OPA in the handling of
the food problem."
Morse, a persistent critic of
OPA, said he was serving notice
that he would speak every day
the senate meets in denunciation
of the way the price agency is
administered.
He asserted that Price Admin
istrator Chester Bowles "has
clearly demonstrated his incom
petency." Morse said that later this week
he will introduce a resolution
calling for creation of a special
senate investigating committee
to "keep tabs on OPA as long as
OPA is in existence."
He said OPA today had put
out "stupid and asinine propos
als for solution of the Oregon
lamb problem that slaughter
ers' lamb quotas could be raised
but at the same time their beef
quotas would have to be re
duced." "The cheap little politicians
on OPA," he continued, "appar
ently thought they could embar
rass the senior senator from Ore
gon (Guy Cordon, R.,) and the
junior senator from Oregon."
Morse said Bowles had dealt
with the Oregon lamb situation
"by continuing to weave and
duck and hedge."
He said it was the "duty of
congress to have functioning at
all times a special committee
constantly checking into the pol
icy of OPA to see to it that they
are functioning in the interests
of the American people."
"There is voluminous evi
dence!" Morse said, "that OPA
reeks with incompetency." .

definite information concerning
settlement of terminated war
contracts, and to instruct them
in filling out settlement forms, a
joint army-navy team of con
tract termination experts will
conduct a training session here
Friday at 12:45 p. m.
"Many war contractors in the
northwest are holding up settle
ment of terminated contracts be
cause they have submitted no
claims to the army and navy,"
stated Lt. Elton B. Jones, Thir
teenth Naval District labor re
lations officer who heads the
four man team of contract ter
mination experts, "or because
forms have been filled out and
submitted improperly."
In a joint effort to meet the
situation, 'the contract settlement
team will conduct a four-hour
training course for contractors
in Medford. The session will be
held at the Chamber of Commerce.

THAT'S EMO'S STORY
Sedalia, Mo., July 10 (U.R)
George Emo, Jr., said he felt a
tug on his line while fishing in
Flat Creek. He pulled it in to
find he had hooked a perch, a
snake and two turtles. The snake
had swallowed the fish, and the
turtles had swallowed the snake,
one the head and the other the
tail. That's Emo's story, anyhow.

Moscow, July 10 (U.R)
Pravda, the Communist party
newspaper, In a blistering at
tack on the American Catholic
press demanded "why permit
press gangsters to provoke a
third world war?"
An article by Pravda's inter
national observer named the
"Catholic World" and "Com
monweal" magazine as examples
of what it called "the warmon
gering Catholic press."
"Soviet people want to know
how to explain the existence at
present in America of news
papers and magazines advocat
ing an anti-Soviet crusade," the
article said. "Some of bur
American friends, invoking Anglo-Saxon
freedom of the press,
consider such a question naive.
Freedom is freedom but Amer
icans do not permit gangsters to
kill people.
New York, July 10 (U.R)
Harry Lorin Binsse, managing
editor of the "Commonweal."
said today that the Russian news
paper Pravda's charge that the
American . Catholic magazine is
'.'warmongering" and "anti-Russian"
is "either based on com
plete ignorance or is a deliberate
falsehood."
"For the past three and one!
half years." Binsse said . "we I
have consistently urged the need
of doing everything possible to
cement Russian-American co
operation, and we have attacked
all elements in this country ir
responsibly pushing us in the
direction of a break with Rus
sia. We have been so consistent
in this policy that many have
accused us of being blindly pro-Russian."
