Aug. 28 (VP) Bni4a in oain Over $8,000,000 annually under ap- portlonmenis 01 me uirec-jear . .- HAHvtnifitlnn postwar nnjiiwoj' iwuhv.. f....,i t nn hv a hill annroved by the senate postwar roads committee, senator uuj (R-Ore.) said today. The bill, Cordon said, retains formula of the 1916 federal highway act for federal aid ana larm-io-muiKei roads, whereas the formula pro- 1 tn elmllav VinilSA hill iS UV3CU " ........... " less attractive to states with small populations. The house bill formula would be .based purely .on population ..Ul-i.. tVtAO nrn find the bill would reduce the definition of an urban area from one witn a population of 10,000 to one with a population of 5000. In addition, Cordon said. $25, 000,000 annually would be auth orized for highway construction within 'national forests and the bill provides a special formula for the public land states, whereby In a state containing more than five per cent of pub lic land, the new construction would be financed 60 per cent federal and 40 per cent state through private land as at pres ent. The government would bear the entire expense through public lands. "The farm to market .alloca tion," Cordon said, "will be par ticularly desirable in the north western states where heavy traffic and the speedup :of' the lumbering and logging indus tries, and the inability of local governments to obtain equip ment and maintenance supplies have left some of these roads in precarious condition." . . - Cordon added that the bill would give Oregon $4,144,000 annually for federal aid roads, $3,315,000 for farm - market roads, and $1,304,000 for urban roads. .

We knew we would be up against terrible difficulties, but we decided to suck it out. There were 250 of us Ameri cans hiding away in Paris under false identities. I had better not tell just yet what my assumed name was. Since we assumed fictitious names we had no ra tion cards and had to buy in the black market at exorbitant prices. The prices in the black market were controlled by the Germans and what they had to sell was usually stolen from their own canteens. Coffee cost us 2000 francs (about $40) per kilogram, tea 6000 francs. We were allowed 50 grams of butter monthly, 90 grams of meat weekly, 275 grams of bread daily. Each month we received one small cake of soap, most of which was sand. For the past three months we could get only one pound of vegetables monthly and no wine. We had to line up for hours for our pittance of bread. The Germans said at first they would taxe ou per cent of our foodstuff, but actually they took 98 per cent. When they entered Paris, the city had enough food to last two years. Within two "weeks they had cleaned it all out. Prices skyrocketed. Butter cost 800 francs per kilogram, meats 350. There was no fruit at any price. In four years we had no heating whatever. uermans kept their own res taurants where they had oceans of butter, cakes and fruit which they devoured under our very noses. For four years we had only wooden shoes. Thev rnst nn francs ($16) a pair for the cheap est ones and 3000 francs ($60) for ine Dest.
