WILL BE REALITY
BY EARLY AUTUMN
Washington, July 18 (U.R)
The OPA and the WPB contend
ed today that the long-promised
cheaper clothing really will be
on the market in noticeable
quantities before long.
Both agencies began a series
of actions in January to combat
the shortages of low and medium
priced clothing which still plague
consumers in many cities. The
WPB and OPA said that the
orders were beginning to have
an effect and that by September
the shortage of such clothing
items should be substantially al
leviated. Hard to Find
A United Press survey of lead
ing cities indicated that such
things as low or medium-priced
shirts, shorts and undershirts
for men, and pants, slips, bras
sieres, and dresses for women
still are either "very hard to
find," as in Atlanta, or only
"moderately available," as in
San Francisco.
They were also pretty hard to
find in New York and Washing
ton. High-priced items were
more plentiful, with a store in
Washington for instance showing
a window full of $2.08 shorts.
The OPA-WPB orders, affect
ing both makers and sellers of
clothing, were designed to:
1. Increase the amount of
fabric going into low and
medium-priced "essential gar
ments." 2. Improve the quality of
such clothing.
3. Reduce inflated clothing
prices by about six' or seven per
cent.
Encouraging Signs
Saul B. Sells, assistant direc
tor of OPA's consumer goods
price division, said "There are
encouraging signs in the apparel
market that the joint WPB-OPA
clothing program is already hav
ing an important effect on pro
duction and price."
Government surveys and in
formation from manufacturers
and buyers, Sells said, show that
the first of the popular-priced
apparel of good quality produced
under the program is beginning
to reach retail stores.
"Many buyers have reported
to us that manufacturers are
offering them better value for
their fall lines than they have
seen in months," Sells said.

rival in Jackson county of the
mobile X-ray unit were discussed
Thursday at the meeting ot the
executive Doara oi me j Benson
County Public Health associa
tion. The board met for lun
cheon at the home of Mrs. El
wood Hedberg, association pres
ident, with Mrs. Leonard Car
penter acting as menu chair
man.
The mobile unit, offering a
free chest X-ray to every resi
dent of the county, will arrive
in the early fall, according to
present plans. Mrs. Dwight
Findley will serve as chairman
of arrangements, through which
the 'association expects to have
300 people X-rayed each day.
She will succeed Mrs. Bruce
Bauer, who resigned in that
position. The educational and
publicity campaigns, which are
a necessary preliminary to the
drive, are in the hands of Mrs.
Glen O. Taylor, Mrs. Moore
Hamilton, Mrs. Claude Thomp
son and Mrs. Jack Walker.
It is hoped, Mrs. Hedberg
pointed out, that every person
will cooperate in this new cam
paign to stamp out tuberculosis.
It is the greatest step ever taken
in Oregon to insure early
diagnosis of the disease. The
X-ray is not just for people who
have reason to think thev m
have tuberculosis but for every
one, as the drive in other regions
has already revealed many un
suspected cases.
Plans for resumption of open
meetings of the Public Health
association every other month
were also announced. ' They
will be held at the Glrl' Hnm.
munity club and Mrs. Ralph Wil
cox, vice president of the as
sociation, has been asked to pre
side. The first meeting will be
held Thursday, Sept. 20.
Two new members of the
board attended the Thursday
meeting, Mrs. Mike Gibbons,
Seal sale chairman for 1945. and
Mrs. Thompson.
The board opposed sending
delegates to the Forest Grove
conference in appreciation of the
government's request for a ces
sation of travel and instructed
Miss Helen Bullis, corresponding
secretary, to inform the state as
sociation of the change In plans.
Soap Shipment T
Europe Denounced
wasnington, July 18 (U.R)
Rep. Raymond S. Springer, R
Ind., today denounced the ship
ment of soap to European coun
tries ln the face of what he
called a "critical" shortage at
home. The Department of Agri
culture said that the shipments
scheduled for the rest of the
year would amount to about one
half of one per cent of U. S
annual production.
"It is time that lend-lease
(which means giving soap away)
ceased taking from our good
people the essentials of life
and soap Is certainly one of
those essentials and giving- It

group in foreign countries,"
Springer said in a speech pre

Washington, July 18 (U.R)
The military and diplomatic high
command has nearly completed
its outline of the terms to be
handed to Japan once the Japa
nese government decides to sur
render unconditionally, it was
understood today.
The terms, which still require
some filling of details as well as
consultation with the major Pa-
clfic allies, prescribe the first
steps toward stripping Japan of
her conquested territory and
eradiating her war-making i
pacity.
It was likely that they would
be discussed at the Big Three's
Potsdam meeting if Russia's role
In the Pacific war is determined.
The U. S. terms as now out
lined much the same as those
slapped at Germany last May
would give the allies immediate
control of Japan s fleet, army,
air force, heavy industry and
shipbuilding and import facilities.
These provisions would pave
the way for allied enforcement
of the following objectives
mapped by U. S. policy makers: '
1. Destruction of the Japa
nese fleet and air force.
2. Elimination of heavy in
dustries capable of turning out

The California Farm Bureau
Federation today told Secretary
of Agriculture Clinton Anderson
that a shortage of refrigerator
cars threatens California farm
ers with a probable food loss
equal to one-third of the tohnage
shipped to Europe last year.
The bureau requested immedi

state's bumper crops, which it
said are needed for the Pacific
war, domestic use and for Eur
ope's civilians.
LABOR SECRETARY ASKS
FOR THREE ASSISTANTS
Washington. July 18 (U.R)
Secretary of Labor Lewis B.
Schwellenbach disclosed today
that he has asked Congress to
create an undersecretary and
two assistant secretaries of la
bor to do administrative work
"which I Just can't do if I'm
ever to have a chance to think."
Schwellenbach said he would
seek the endorsement of labor
organizations for appointees to
the proposed two new assistant
secretaryships. He did not, how
ever. Indicate whether he would

3. The surrender by Japan of
her conquests including Man
churia, Korea and Formosa.
4. Dismantling of her ship
building facilities.
5. Strict control over Japa
nese imports.
6. Provisions for an allied oc
cupation force in Japan.
There has been considerable
agitation here, especially on Cap
ital Hill, for official publication
of specific terms which the al
lies would expect the Japanese
to meet under unconditional sur
render. As things stand now, it was
believed, there will be no formal
advance announcement of the
surrender terms, on the grounds
that this might be construed as
an invitation to Japanese to try
to make a bargain.
