ELIGIBILITY
RULES VOTED
LESS STRICT
By FUSS MEWLAND
SAN FRANCISCO, June 16
UPl Drastic changes in the eligl
bility rulei of the Pacific Coast
conference were voted today by
faculty athletic members who
practically let down the bars in
order to continue football at its
highest possible peak.
The 10 school circuit agreed to
permit any student coming under
the army or navy programs to
. compete in any sport.
This means that a player who
had previously had professional
football experience, if he enroll
ed in one of the military pro
grams and assigned to a school
by one of the military branches.
could play against those of strict
ly amateur status.
Rules pertaining to civilian
students also were modified to
include graduate students and
special students as football elig
ibles. The conference last year
voted to permit freshmen to en
gage in varsity competition.
A few exceptions were noted.
however, in the case of civilian
students. Those who have en
gaged in professional sports will
not be eligible. A civilian stu
dent, however, competing on the
same team with a professional
enlisted in the military programs
will not lose his amateur status.
Civilian students who have
exhausted four years of athletic
competition, likewise will be in
eligible, as will student previ
ously declared ineligible and not
yet reinstated to good standing
To be eligible for athletic
competition all civilian students
must carry at least 12 units of
work.
In the steel industry, home
scrap is produced as a by-product
of finishing operations.

Madford Council
Approves Program
MEDFORD, June 16 (IP) The
city council last night approved
the Medford American Legion's
program for dealing with Jap
anese and urged immediate leg
islation to put it into force.
Under the plan Japanese
would be prevented from return
ing to the Pacific coast during
the war. Control of all Jap
anese in the United States would
be transferred from civilian au
thority to the army.
Japanese would be barred
from combat units. Every able
bodied Japanese male would be
placed in agriculture in interior
sections of the country under
strict army control. Japanese
farm implements, cars and tires
on the Pacific coast would be re
leased for war-time use under
the law of eminent domain.
JAPS PREPARED,

Burmese-Indian frontier and in
the Pacific.
"Thus," he said, "the war situ
ation has become increasingly;
tense and battles which repeat
edly take place are more grim
and terrific."
The diet, which has no voice
in the formulation of Japanese
policy and is little more than a J
rubber stamp for legislation de
cided upon by To jo and his mili
tary advisers, was not permitted
to question the premier concern
ing his report on the war.
Tojo asserted that the occu
pied regions of East Asia were
giving Japan the "utmost coop
eration" to bring the war to a
successful conclusion and prom
ised that Japan would exert
every effort to help India "expel
and eliminate Anglo-Saxon influ
ences, which are the enemy of
India in every true sense of the
word."
The premier also promised
the Philippines "independence"
within the year and said that a
new "independent" Burmese
state would be set up soon. .
Confidence
He did not elaborate on these
promises, but observers recalled
that at the last session of the
diet he had promised Burma in-,
dependence with the qualifies-'
tion that she must continue!
thereafter to "contribute to thej
creation of a new world order in!
close concert with Japan."
Tojo expressed confidence In'
ultimate victory by Japan andj
her axis partners, and told the
diet:
"Our strategic position to as
sure victory in greater East
Asia is being strengthened day'
by day, with the vast resources
of the region being rapidly con
verted into our fighting power."
A Berlin broadcast, quoting
from the Japanese premier's
speech, said he "promises to
fight shoulder to shoulder with
Germany and Italy and their oth
er allies in ever closer coopera
tion and assistance until common
victory is won.
"I am firmly convinced of the
success of the brilliant strategy
of Germany and Italy," he was
quoted as telling the diet.

taking 43 per cent of the coun
try's meat supply.
At one time Brown said that
if living costs remain stationary,
a projected $430,000,000 subsidy
to offset decreases in the retail
price of butter, meats and event
ually coffee would "do the job."
He added:
"But if costs increase, and I
fear they will. I think it will
be necessary to go much fur
ther." Pressed by committeemen for
a specific amount, the price con
trol chief said he thought that
"the president's $1,500,000,000
program is what is necessary if
we want to hold to the Septem
ber 15. 1942 levels.'
Subsidy Argument
Challenged by Taft to show
authority for the payment of
subsidies to hold down retail
prices. Brown replied that it
would be impossible to admin
ister the price control act ef
fectively unless such action is
taken.
He said retail prices could
be lowered by paying a subsidy
to the farmer through the pack
ers.
'This subsidy will not increase
production by one pound," Taft
snapped.
"It will prevent us from doing
what we have the legal right to
do rolling back the price at
the farm," Brown replied warm
ly. He said he is certain con
gress doesn't want to follow the
latter course.
CHICAGO. June 16 W) The
nation's armed forces, says the
war meat board, are in "critical"
need of beef, and the primary ob
jective of the newly organized
agency of the war food adminis
tration is to provide an adequate
supply of meat to the military
services.
At its second meeting since
organization, the board yester
day discussed all phases of the
meat situation, including plans
for enforcement of a recent WFA
order which will mean cut in
the supply of beef for civilian
consumption.
Commenting on the beef situa
tion, as related to the military
services, the board said:
"So critical has the need for
beef by the armed forces become
that purchasing agents at the
armys 24 buying centers scat
tered throughout the country are
ready to accept any quantity
down to one full carcass of beef
or veal meeting army specifica
tions.

Price Specialist
Named in Portland
PORTLAND. June 16 (IP)
The appointment of Earl J. Pet
erson, former Portland food
broker, as price specialist in the
food section of the district OP A
was announced today by Direc
tor Richard G. Montgomery. Pet
erson recently received an hon
orable discharge from the navy.
EPIC STORY TOLD
E
(Continued From Page One)
he said, "I am convinced that
we are in the midst of one of
the greatest and most powerful
developments in history the
development of an almost in
credible striking power by
means of sircraft."
" . . . I can report to you that
from now on expenditures for
our air force will exceed by far
the expenditures for any other
single military category, reach
ing before the end of 1943 an
annual rate of soma tens of bil
lions of dollars."
From Price Administrator
Prentiss M. Brown came the as
sertion that price control meas
ures had saved the government
$25,800,000,000- by the end of
1942, and- that that amount
would swell to $70,000,000,000
by lie end of 1943 "if prices art
held at current levels."
In the face of mounting con
gressional opposition to use of
subsidies to keep down the cost
of living, the OPA chief told the
committee that it would be im
possible to get prices back to
their September 1942 level with
out their "substantial use."
His opinion drew from Chair
man Cannon (D-Mo.) the observa
tion that "we cannot escape the
fact that congress has repeatedly
in the last few weeks, three of
four times by a record vote and
overwhelming majorities, indi
cated its emphatic disapproval of
subsidies."
Rubber Director William Jef
fers reported that all the syn
thetic rubber plants, should be
in operation and producing by
the end of the year, and that he
was counting on an output of
about 800,000 long tons of syn
thetic rubber next year.
He declared that there would
be at the end of this year about
140,000 tons of synthetic end
crude rubber, and estimated that
production of synthetic rubber
by early autumn of 1944 would
reach the point where it could
supply normal demands.
There was strong intimation,
too, that the nation is in for
some new rationing programs,
but just when they will go into
effect was left for speculatiou.
Cannon noted that the OPA justi
fications called for several new
programs.
In charge of rationing for
OPA, Louis J. Kroeger reported
that there were eight under con
templation, six of which are con
tingent upon directives yet to be
issued. While both he and the
committee shied away from dis
cussing their nature in fear that
they be upset by advance notice,
he hinted that one of them may
deal with coal.
"Conditions being what they
are at present." he told the com
mittee, "we have some plans
under way here with respect to
coal. Now, whether or not coal
is going to have to be rationed
is a question of many determina
tions. . . . But should it become
necessary to ration coal, then,
certainly, the coming up of an
other winter makes it imperative
that we go to work right away
and develop that program."

the newspaper reporters In
Washington were to be "com
mended, not criticized, for their
outstanding effort . . . their
masterful accomplishment of a

Bridges said Davis was ob

not look too well outside of
