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. .

ney, has charged the Oregon li
qiur commission with violating
a state statute directing it to
promote temperance. -
It did so in offering purchasers
of two bottles of rum. brandy or
. gin an extra bottle of whisky.
sandblast asserted in an amend
ed petition for a writ of man
damus to require the agency to
sell him more whisky than is
permitted under state rationing.
He contends present rationing
regulations violate the state law
that created the commission.
The agency withdrew its whis-
Ky bonus offer Saturday night

LONDON. Aug. 28 VP) Lon
don and- southern England
passed a bombless night last
night as the lull in flying bomb
assaults lengthened to almost 72
hours, broken only by a brief
barrage Sunday morning.
The respite produced a grow
ing feeling of optimism here.
Fewer and fewer people are tak.
ing to the subways and other
shelters at night, but the govern
ment made no move to relax any
precautions.
The Daily Mail said the Rus
sians had come across a Dlace in
Poland where the Germans have
been testing super "V-2 rockets
and had turned over the infor
mation to British experts.
"In certain circumstances it
seems this additional secret wea
pon would be no more serious
than.V-1 (the flying bomb)," the
Mail said. .

decent was gone there would
be no tomorrows, just probabili
ties. 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.
Artificial silk stockings cost
600 francs ($12) on the black
market. A clothes ration totaled
20 points a year a suit cost 40
points.

r ior as transportation was
concerned, I would say allied
uuiuuing was iuu per cent effec-
tive. Not even a cat has been
able to move, into town in
uiunins.

Fnedrich came to Paris a week
ago and said "We will be back.

pons we have. The Luftwaffe's
