Peterson, also an apostle of the church, stopped here after completing a tour of the disaster areas, particularly at Yuba City, where church members had ask ed for 175 men to help victims'. "On the first day," Peterson said, "5P0 reported from your Bay Area. On four successive days, between 500 and 750 men showed up, doctors, lawyers, merchants, plumbers, every sort, in their own cars, carrying their own shovels. . Many of the men from here took their wives. They were di vided into crews of eight for each house. The men did the heavy work, then the women moved in with mops to clean up." Peterson said they cleaned up 125 homes of church members but helped many non-members as well. He disclosed that about 200 Bay Area carpenters, plaster ers, plumbers and other build ing trades workers will donate time durjng the next two 'weeks for repair work.

SPECIAL 2x4 Wood 3 Loads for $25 PHONE 2-8277 McGINTY FUEL CO. of Commerce Sinclair Weeks and later with key members of Congress with respect to pass age of an adequate road bill early this session. Compromise Seen Need At first, Baldock said, he was convinced that an adequate road bill would be passed before April, because it is supported by the League of Municipalities, the American Automobile asso ciation and many other groups. ' "However," Baldock said, "passage of such legislation is possible only if a spirit of com promise exists. - More detailed investigation by our committee revealed many jealousies and fixed and unyielding opinions about various features ' of the bill, which combined with strong opposition to the passage of adequate highway legislation by certain powerful groups, forced the opinion that the type of road legislation that the coun try needs and expects may not materialize this session." Baldock said it would be a fairly easy matter, to . reenact legislation similar to the 1954 road act, under which the states now are working, since no addi tional taxes would be required. But he said: Bill Totally Inadequate "Such a bill, however, is to tally inadequate and will not do the type of work needed for the defense of America, the growth ; of its economy, or the safety of the motorist." ' Baldock is among those rec ommending that the money for a 15-year program of federal high way building be raised by these methods: $500,000,000 from, the general fund by reason of the general interest of all the peo ple in national defense; by add ing one cent to the federal fuel tax; ind by either borrowing about $5,000,000,000 in short term loans, or by placing ."across the board" increased taxes on tires, tubes, lubricating oil, and by increased taxes on new trucks, . buses and trailers. , Railroads Withdraw Rate Cut Proposal ; Olympia U.R) Railroads have withdrawn a proposal to cut rates on Midwest meat pro ducts shipped to the Pacific Coast, the State Public Service Commission said today. A commission spokesman said he received confirmation of the action from an official of the Northern Pacific Railroad. The move came on a motion by the railroads to the Interstate Com merce Commission, which had scheduled a hearing on the mat ter for Jan. 16 at Salt Lake City. The proposed 50 per cent re duction in freight rates on meat products had stirred up protests from Washington cattle and packing interests, who claimed it would adversely affect the producer and the cut would re sult in "dumping" of meat pro ducts on the Pacific Coast. The PSC had been asked to intervene on behalf of the Wash ington cattlemen. Wall Street New York (U.R) Stocks suf fered their worst decline since Dec. 14, today with volume lightening.
