PAGE TWO E AGENCY BILL FAILS TO PASS Contlnued from Page One) this group declined to detail their discussion but said It f could be assumed that there 'would be no decision on nation wide gasoline rationing until the Baruch committee reported. In a separate letter to Ba ruch, the president said "a quick but adequate survey of 'the entire rubber question . . . would Include not only facts with respect to existing sup plies and estimates as to future needs, but also the question of the best method to be followed for obtaining an adequate sup ply of rubber for our military and essential civilian require ments." Baruch issued a statement in which he said: ' "Command ReceWed" '.''"The president's command has been received. The commit tee has organized itself and is in action. "There will be no public hearings or statements, al though we may announce the names of those experts work ing with us. '"Whatever we have to say will be In our report to. the .president, which we will make as quickly as we can determine the facta." . Mr. Roosevelt said the bill he was vetoing passed by con gress with the backing of the farm -block would hamper In stead of aid the war effort. Break-Up Charged The measure, the president said in: a message to the sen ate, would break up an exist ing -logical .coordination of cen tralized control in the war pro duction, board and override pri orities established by WPB for materials necessary to make hundreds of products essential in war. Noting that the board had allocated a certain amount of rubber to be made from both agricultural products and pe troleum, Mr. Roosevelt said that both types of plants now 'are being constructed and that others.. 'are ' planned for con struction "at the greatest possi ble speed." The president said that to take the problem out of the hands of an' experienced board with an over-all knowledge of military and . civilian needs would disrupt a unified and expeditious war . production program. Discussing ; creation of the three-man-committee, the pres ident spoke of confusion over the rubber situation, saying: "In recent months there have been so many conflicting state ments of fact concerning all the elements of the rubber sit uation statements from re sponsible government agencies as well as from private sources that. I have set up a commit tee of three men to investigate the whole situation to get the facts and , to report, them to me as quickly as possible with their -recommendations. -: I Fifty.' dollars a car- Is the average tax valuation of auto mobiles in the United States. PENDENT Cooling! 'Refreshing! J. MARVIN HILTON, Distributor, Klamath Falls Editorials on News (Continued from Page One) headed by Bernard Baruch and including President Connnt of Harvard and President Compton of Massachusetts Institute of Technology to look into the whole rubber problem and re port to him. 1 YjTE certainly need a statement " on the rubber situation by someone in whom the public HAS SOME CONFIDENCE. It might as well be said with brutal lrankness that the public now has little confidence in any thing or anybody connected with the domestic rubber program. The reason for this utter lack of confidence is the utter lack of official consistency in con nection with the whole subject of rubber. One policy is hinted at by somebody m supposed au thority one day. An entirely different policy is hinted at by somebody else in supposed su thority the next. None of these hinted-at pol icies seems to jibe with any other. None seems to indicate auy intelligent planning at the top. The impression the public has received is one of total con fusion. It is not surprising that there should be no confidence in the government's rubber policies whatever they may be. 15 (Continued from Page One) ing the top of the locomotive." H. T. Morton of Crystal Springs, a bus passenger, said the driver stopped for a north bound freight train to clear the crossing. "We drove onto the track right behind the freight and the southbound passenger train hit us," he said. ' . . Mrs. W. L. Dodds.of Osyka, Miss., was killed when the heavy bus hurtled through the air and overturned on the side walk where she was standing trying to warn the driver of his danger. WLB Turns Down Pay Boost Request, Advises Review ; (Continued From Page One) It would appear necessary to re quire government review and approval of all general wage increases. "The inflationary effects of a race between prices and wages cannot be stopped in the ab sence of a governmental check upon wage increase as well as those which arise from wage de mands in disputed cases." A 10 cents an hour increase was asked by the AFL Interna tional Brotherhood of Electrical Workers for employes in the Bayonne and Perth Amboy plants of General Cable. A three cents an hour increase was voted by the board for night shift workers instead of five cents asked by the union. ARCTIC CITY , Remains of an Arctic city of 4000 inhabitants have been un covered in Alaska, 200 miles north of Bering Strait. There are seldom more than 200 in habitants in modern Eskimo vil lages.

NAZI OCTOPUS CLOSES IN ON (Continued from Page One) mans drove new wedges Into Soviet lines at a great sacrifice in lives, front-line dispatches said. A bulletin from German field headquarters said nail spear heads, racing southward from Voroshilovsk, had reached the main trans-Caucasian railway linking the Black and Caspian sens. This apparently meant that the invaders had selred the rail line below Armavir, key Junc tion on the route, somewhere in the vicinity of Nevinnomysskaya, which lies due south of Voroshi lovsk. It would represent an ad vance of about 235 miles into the Caucasui. As the crisis mounted, with the Red armies hurled back in two key sectors during bitter all night fighting, Europe's capitals rang with new talk of an allied second front in western Europe. "Day Is Near" "Every day brings nearer the time when the agreement signed between Britain and the U. S. S. R. on the urgency of estab lishing a second front In Europe will be put into effect," the Mos cow radio said. In London, Premier Pieter S. Gerbrandy of the Neterhlands government-in-exlle broadcast to his countrymen in nazioccupled Holland, declaring that the tide of war was turning. Simultaneously, a fresh flood of nazi-inspired propaganda em phasized the asserted strength of German defenses to combat a cross-channel invasion attempt. One dispatch told of "mighty fortifications of concrete and iron" extending deep inland from the English channel coast. On the Russian front, massive battles raged throughout the night; and at mid-day, the Soviet command " acknowledged that Marshal Semeon Timoshenko's armies southeast of Rostov, and in a new zone at Kotelnikovski, 95 miles southwest of Stalingrad. But although Moscow com mentators hinted at an impend ing Russian counter-offensive, once Hitler's big push has lost its momentum, there was still no indication that the Red armies were able to do more than fight a stubborn retreat in sector af ter sector. Aroff Brings Dignity to Court-Martial (Continued from Pag One) courtesy extended enlisting Stan ford law students. Aroff said he enlisted in the navy at the age of 14, became a master plumber by 19 and at 20 was "superintendent of one of the largest heating and plumb ing concerns in Los Angeles." He described himself as "one of the original designers of pre fabricated house s," former weight lifting champion and former boxing champion. He said he applied for a com mission in the naval reserve in 1936 but was rejected for lack of professional experience and education. Intensive tutoring on navigation, seamanship and mathematics enabled him to get the commission the same year. Concrete Subs Proposed by 'Mystery' Murray (Continued from Page One) only one heard today in the sub committee's inquiry into war cargo-carrying possibilities. After Mr. Murray had testi fied, Lee told reporters he was convinced concrete could be used for the manufacture of cargo-carrying submarines. He said a concrete submarine could be built with one-fifth the steel used in an all-steel submarine. Murray, Lee added', wanted to build a pilot plant for the con struction of the first concrete submarine, explaining that once the forms were built submarines could be turned out as fast as the concrete could be mixed and poured.

Fliers Baq 'Photo Joe1 in New Guinea Battle GENERAL MacARTHUR'S HEADQUARTERS, Australia, Aug. 8 (AP) American fliers who shot down ' six Japanese iUn In recent battles over the Gona-Buna area of New Guinea told today of a special prize they bagged a "photo Joe." They reported downing five Japanese naval Zero fighters and said the sixth plane a twin-engined craft unmistako ably was a reconnaissance plane used by the Japanese for high altitude photography. A formation of five United States medium bombers en countered the photography plane before meeting the Zeros. Lieut. J. S. Kale of Belling ham, Wash., and 1305 E 43rd St., Seattle, said "Photo Joe Flew out of a cloud toward us as bold as anything. He knew (Continued from Page One) also declared for elimination of all unnecess ary government spending and local tax saving during the period when there is a heavy demand upon the public for financing the war effort. Holbrook spoke in response the welcoming remarks by May or Houston and President Dale of the local realty board. Realtors arrived in large num bers on the southbound train Wednesday evening and were there greeted by the mayor and the city band. A huge key to the city was handed Holbrook on that occasion.

He will deliver his princi pal convention address Saturday evening at the convention ban quet. , Donald M. Erb, president of the University of Oregon, will speak at a banquet in the Willard hotel Thursday night. His topic will be "History and Destiny." At noon Thursday, William MacRossic, Greenwich, . Conn., spoke at a luncheon session. Mar Rossie is chairman of the Amer ican Institute of Real Estate Ap praisers, and is a member of the Washington committee of the Na tional Association of Real Estate Boards, appointed with Simpson. '.'Ear to Ground" He outlined the work of the committee, stating it behooves realtors to keep their "ears to the ground" in Washington. He pointed, out that the army and navy are the biggest users of real estate the world has known, and noted the many ways in which the government is now interested in the real estate business of the nation. "We are in Washington to pro tect private enterprise as it re lates to the real estate business so far as possible," said Mac Rossie. "Expansion of govern ment agencies Is tending to ab sorb the management of real properties. We are doing all we can to prevent it." He said his group had achieved a position where it obtains a ready hearing with any agency chief in Washington. Other convention events of Thursday included a morning discussion of "Farm Appraisal" led by Frank Kinney, Eugene, and with Robert W. Prescott, Eugene, and Fred W. Hutch croft, McMinnville, taking part. In the afternoon, Read M. Ire land of Portland talked on "Farm Financing." The session chairman was Harold A. Whit field, Vancouver, and J, L.

"What he forgot," said Kale, "was our fighter escort ahove. My tall gunner, Sergeant Bern rick, saw three fighters sweep down on Photo Joe. He didn't have a chance then." A few minutes later seven Zeros attacked the bomber for mation, Ono plane piloted by Lieut. Carl G. King of La Grunge, Ga was forced out o( formation and five Zeros chased it for half an hour.

The spruce little man who once headed the Silver. Shirts of America was convicted last night by a federal court Jury which also convicted two business as sociates, Lawrence A. Brown and Miss Agnes Marian Henderson. Brown and Miss Henderson were found guilty of one count of conspiracy to commit sedition. The three were officers of the Fellowship Press, a publishing house at Noblesville, Ind., where Pelley'i magazine,. The Galilean, was printed once a week.
