PORTLAND CAFES :' GET UNEXPECTED "BONUS" POINTS Portland, Ore., Aug. 7 (U.R) More than 800 Portland restau rants today received unexpected 'bonus ration points in a start ling move which trade circles said would lead to solving the critical food situation existing in other cities. A volunteer ration board mem ' ber, W. S. Dirker, made the dis covery in OPA regulations which permitted the return of hundreds of ration points 'taken away" from restaurants after the Christ mas day ration stamp cancella tion. Two Months Ration His insistence on living up to an OPA regulation permitting return of the points an order . subsequently cancelled gave the hard-pressed restaurants the equivalent to their January-February allotment. This means that a typical restaurant would receive about two months' ra tions in processed foods and one month on meats and fats. , Dirker said the OPA opposed returning the points on grounds the amendment to the regula tions had not been discovered be fore it expired May 1. Dirker said he wanted to be honest with the restaurants and had exact records on each to justify the 'bonus" payments. About 400 already have received their points and the other 400 are in the mail. The board has juris- ditcion over all of wpst.iri Portland, including the main business district. Others To Act The bonus payments are for the point values existing at time of the seizure, not reduced fig ures as of now, particularly on sugar. As the result of Dirker's board action, it was understood the OPA had ordered other boards to act similarly in returning points. Dirker said he was certain that similar situations in Olym pia, San Francisco, and other cities could be solved in the same way. Larry Hilaire, chairman of the OPA restaurant advisory com mittee, said Dirker's action will enable restaurants to operate "without resort to the black market" because all restaurants were point broke before the gold-mine of returned points was received. He said it would end the epidemic of restaurants closing for 'vacations or renova tions" when lack of points was, the real reason. ' abtl!

IES HAIL LIFTING OF SIEGE Buenos Aires, Aug. 7 (U.R) Opponents of the Farrell govern ment today cautiously hailed as a step toward normalcy its lift ing of the state of siege that has ! prevailed in Argentina since 1941. "It will become a real step when three other indispensable rcqui5't" "e fulfilled," Amer. ico Ghioldi, editor of tne socialist newspaper La Vanguar- dia and a leader of the opposi tion, said. Ghioldi listed the three re quisites as: "1. Elimination of an official (government) candidate from the forthcoming elections. "2. A halt in the use of pub lie funds to publicize a member of the cabinet and aid him in fighting his political enemies. (The opposition has accused Vice President Col. Juan Peron, strong man of the government, of misuse of public funds)- "3 Fixing of a definite date for general and total elections." President Gen. Edelmiro Far rell and Interior Minister Hor tensio Quijano signed the decree last night lifting the state of siege, effective immediately. Ctostn? time for Classified Adi 8:30 a. m.

Bong, America's greatest ace, was killed in the flaming crash of a jet plane from which he desperately tried to jump clear, investigators said to day. Bong, 24-year-old Congression al Medal of Honor holder, died yesterday as he struggled to free his heavy clothing from the nar row escape hatch of the P-80 shooting star he was testing. He had almost balled out when the crippled aircraft exploded. Plan Shattered The force of the blast, which shattered the plane into pieces less than three feet square, shot Bong's body clear of the plane. He had pulled the ripcord of his parachute, and its silken folds swirled about the crumpled body as flames swept over it. 'Bong was brought home for "safe" duty after he became America's all time air ace by shooting down 40 of the enemy without a scratch. "Safe" duty was testing the jet propelled P-80, the army's new est fighter model. Witnesses did not agree on the cause of the crash. One army flier said Bong overshot the Lockheed landing field. Another said something appeared to fall out of the tail of the rocket-like ship. Mrs. Marjorle Bong, his 21 year-oid widow, said he had no premonition of death. "He said he was going to take me to movie when he got home," she said. Won Many Honors Bong, who fought his twin engined Lockheed fighter througt the toughest battles of the Southwest Pacific, also wore the distinguished flying cross, the air medal with 17 oak leaf clusters, the distinguished ser vice cross and the silver star. In all he held 26 decorations. His death left Lt. Col. John C. Meyer, of Forrest Hills, N.

"I shall recommend that the congress consider promptly the establishment of an appropriate commission to control the pro duction and use of atomic power within the United States," he said. "I shall give further considera tion and make further recom mendations to congress as to how atomic power can become a pow erful and forceful influence to ward the maintenance of world peace-" Use Mall Tribune Want Ads. pli BRENT IfSn SUITS ARE READY NOW!
