Julv 21 (JPi Secretary Morgenthau said to day "there is no indication that it. will be necessary or wise to adopt" a system of forced sav ings and added that serious dis cussion of such a plan should be postponed "until we are faced with some need to make a de cision" In a letter to Colonel Franklin D01ier, New Jersey war finance committee chairman, . Morgen thau wrote that the present vol untary plan "has the great vir tue of being flexible enough to permit oond buyers to continue meeting vital commitments for life insurance, mortgage pay ments and other non-inflationary investments . . .

Two large structures destroy ed, the Hannula hotel and the Lopakka rooming house, were not covered by Insurance, their owners reported today. Fire departments of Seaside, 20 miles south, and Uwaco, Wash., across the Columbia river to the north, were called, but the flames threatened to engulf the rest of the large Finnish district until coast guard and navy men from nearby bases Jumped Into the fight. Hundreds were evacuated from nearby buildings, and the streets piled high with house hold goods emptied from the en dangered dwellings.

Homes In a four-block radius were sprinkled by embers, and residents fought numerous minor roof fires, v Flames Confined Though fire-fighters kept the flames to the single block, sur rounding buildings were ' dam aged by heat qnd smoke. The buildings destroyed in cluded the Hannula hotel, a land mark of the Finnish district, and the Dopakka rooming bouse. Al so burned were three apartments over the Keranen garage and Werner's bakery, owned by Mrs. Lydia Wuori.

Because of the extreme hous ng shortage, the homeless had difficulty finding shelter. Many were scattered in private home throughout the city.
