Ore. (U.R A ranch in northern Lake county near Fort Rock will be auction ed off in the next few veeks. And, thus, will come an end to the strange story of George Pey erl, a recluse and man of mys tery in the Fort Rock basin since the early days of the cen tury. Peyerl died last winter, alone and frozen. He apparently had NOTICE Your Stationer Will Be CLOSED for ANNUAL INVENTORY Saturday, April 2nd Prompt Blue Print Service Will Be Extended At Rear Entrance eone out to feed his chicKens, suffered a stroke and was unable to unfasten the special lock on the door of his home an old granary. . " f 1 His bodv was found by a nei ghbor, Mrs. Minnie Stilz of the Horse ranch. Mrs. Stilz had helped the elderly recluse chop his fire wood and do his farm chores for the last year, during a time when he was ill. Peverl moved into the old granary 30 years ago when his house burned down. He never attempted to rebuild, apparently content to live alone in the gran ary. Peyerl had a grim fear of strangers and made few friends. He apparently had no close rela tives . It's uncertain where he came from, but he is believed to have been a native of Austria. He came to Fort Rock shortly after the turn of the cmtury. For a time he was a blacksmith in the now vanished town of Fremont. Through all the years he lived alone. ' He never discarded any mail cr any article he acquired. His granary home was filled with books, some of them in German. Some dealt with cooking, others were technical works on electri city and the sciences. Many of the books concerned the training of horses. - His personal effects were sold at auction recently. The final chapter in Peyerl's lonely ex istence will be closed with the sale of his land. Portland (U.R) There will be no tightening up of loans for home purchases and construc tion this year, Albert M. Cole, federal housing administrator, predicted here Thursday.

Morse Reports More Requests From Constituents This Session of Congress By SEN. WAYNE MORSE Washington, D.C. This ses sion of Congress has brought forth more requests from consti tuents for help on specific prob lems with the Federal Govern ment than at any other time during my 10 years in the Sen ate. We have always worked hard in my office in connection with Oregon problems, but we have never before received so many requests from so many groups for help. A great many requests are coming from small businessmen who report that they are being caught in an economic squeeze. Also many farm groups are ap pealing to our office for assist ance not only in connection with legislation, but for help in con nection with problems which have arisen under the Adminis tration in the various agricul tural laws. We are also receiving a large number of communica tions asking for help on almost every conceivable problem that can arise between a taxpayer and his Federal Government. Delighted to Help Needless to say, we are de lighted to carry out our duty of assisting in any way we can be cause it is a service to which the taxpayer is entitled. Our only regret is that there are not enough hours in the days and evenings of the week to do the work as fast as I would like to have it always done in rendering service to constituents. As it is, we keep the office open on the average of four evenings a week. There are no pay allowances for overtime for members of my staff, which is composed of a very loyal and enthusiastic group , of associates who are working' their heads off not only for their boss, but for the entire State of Oregon. In fact, I would like to take this opportunity of thanking them in behalf of the people of our State for the won derful work they are doing in my office. I am sure that every constituent who has worked with members of my staff on some problem will want to share my expression of thanks. Committee Assignments Heavy Senator after Senator can be heard these day's saying that it is impossible for him to attend all the committee meetings that are in almost constant session. To my surprise and astonish ment the other morning, I found that I was supposed to be at six different committee and sub committee meetings at the same hour. Under such circumstan ces, it becomes necessary to "se lect what you consider the most essential meeting and then send members of your staff to sit as observers at the other committee meetings and transmit your in structions to the chairman of the committee for proxy voting. The .Foreign Relations . Com- Dud Atomic Bombs Disarmed for First Time During Test Dayton, Ohio U.R) Dud atomic bombs were rendered harmless in the first test of its kind recently at a desert range near Tucson, Ariz., an . Air Ma teriel Command spokesman has revealed. AMC headquarters said a team from the 2700th Explosive Ordnance Disposal ' Squadron here at Wright Patterson Air Force base successfully disarmed what it thought were un exploded atomic bombs in a test called "Exercise Even-Up." Take Precautions "Althought the special wea pons were inert, extra precau tions were taken as it was as sumed .by the ordnance team that they were extremely dan gerous and that an atomic ex plosion could result," the spokes man said. He explained that an inert bomb was one that has been unarmed and cannot ex plode while a dud is a live bomb that has failed'to explode. He said the Dayton detach ment and other teams assumed the two bombs were duds when they were dropped along with 24 conventional bombs near Sa hurita Bomber and Gunnery Range at Tucson. The bombs were dug out and rendered harmless in two and one half days...... .. The spokesman pointed out, however, there is no official rec ord of any atomic bomb ever failing to explode. mittee has just announced my fore, I offered a resolution call- own subcommittee assignments on that committee. They include the Chairmanship of the Sub committee on the South Ameri can Republics; and membership on two other subcommittee, namely, Economic and Social Affairs and State Department Public Relations. The Assign ments are of great interest to me because of my long - standing conviction that we need to do a better job of strengthening eco nomic relations between the United States and South Ameri ca. : We should recognize before it is too late that the greatest defense weapon our country will have in the long contest against Communism is bound to be the economic productive power of free men throughout the world. Therefore, it is important for our national security, as well as from our selfish economic stand point, to work out economic agreements between our Govern ment and South American gov ernments whereby American businessmen and investors will find it safe and profitable : to help build up the economy of South America. . Sale of Rubber Plants ' On March 23, the Senate ap proved the sale of the Federal government's - synthetic rubber plants, to private industry. I favored the sale of these plants to private enterprise, but I strongly opposed it in the form of the contracts which the Sen ate was asked to approve. There- Canned Foods To Be Exposed to A -Blast Long Beach, Calif. (U.R) George B. Morrill Jr., president of the National Canners assn., said 60 canned foods will be ex posed to an atomic blast in the first test of its kind to determine whether the food may be safely eaten after a nuclear explosion. Merrill told a group of South ern California canners the food in both glass and tin containers would be exposed to the explo sion at various distances from ground . zero, presumably at Yucca Flat during the current Nevada nuclear test series. ing for a postponement of the sale until ' some much needed protections for small business were written into the contracts. Although my resolution was de feated by a vote of 56 to 31, some of the most able lawyers in the Senate, including Sen. George of Georgia and Sen Ervin of North Carolina, formerly a member of the North -, Carolina Supreme Court, supported by position. My office had received many protests from small gas station operators in Oregon and small businessmen up and down the Pacific Coast, who are dependent upon the big oil and rubber com panies for a supply of rubber goods at a fair price, urging me to do what I could to get some safeguards into the contracts. We made a record in this fight that can be used in the future if the companies who bought these plants continue to violate the anti-trust laws as they have done so many times in the past. We hope that this record will make these companies think twice before they try to set up a pattern of squeezing out the small independent businessmen and rubber producers. $21 ,500,000 Paid in Wages by M&M Co. Portland (U.R) M and M Wood Working Company paid a total payroll in Oregon of $21, 570,970 during the recent calen dar year, President Clay Brown said today. More than $13,500,000 was spent in the Portland area and nearly $8,000,000 in" the Linn county area, Brown said. . Builders Supply Buy At 9 -Ski QUALITY BLOCKS Bricks, Flues Drain Tile 727 Yf.
