session H cancsnny uuuu,
ot lencth the proposed di-
version of water from the upper
reaches of Oregon's Klamath
river to cjainornia s oimio
and members of the land use
committee were urged to get to
work immediately preparing
data whicli will be presented at
a future date.
Members were advised of a
story which came out of Wash
ington over The Associated
Press Wednesday, in which the
interior department informed
Rep. Clair Engle, (D-Calif.), that
the proposed diversion was but
"a nebulous idea."
Directors also went into the
feasibility of establishing a vet
crans' advisory committee,
especially as it pertained to
loans sought by returning serv
ice men. The matter was held
over for further consideration.
A meeting of the post-war
planning committee with Dean
Paul Dunn of the school of for
estry, Oregon State college, was
announced for the evening of
January 23. Lumbermen, mem
bers of the industrial committee
and others interested will be

Seattle, homes use division of
the national housing agency,

commerce Thursday and Fri

and investigate utilization of
existing housing facilities in this
area.

whereby men who have "grad
uated" from the junior chamber
be given a one year membership
in the chamber of commerce, and
also be asked to assist on com
mittees. Members of the junior
chamber are within the age
limit of 21 to 35, inclusive, and
on reaching the age of 36, may
continue as inactive members of
the younger group.
A letter from Representative
Henry Semon was read to the
group, in which Semon advised
he '-was forwarding legislative
literature to the chamber for
use of that organization.
In the absence of President
Malcolm Epley, Fred Heilbron

The amounts nrobahlv will
be revised, and they would have
to be approved by the ways and
means committee, which said
today it is extremely short of
appropriate funds.
Passes Bills
The house passed and sent to
the senate its first bills today.
One appropriates $100,000 for
legislative expenses, and the
other legalizes the action of the
state department in issuing
windshield stickers in place of
motor vehicle license plates.
A new community property
program, which may be the
start of a campaign to persuade
congress to allow married cou
ples in all states to split their
incomes for federal income tax
purposes, was before the senate
today.
The program would replace
the 1943 law which allowed
married couples to elect to come
under a community property
system so they could divide the
family income and get into low
er federal t.x brackets. But the
United States supreme court
ruled this could not be done.
BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 10 ItP)
The Argentine government an
nounced today it would not par
ticipate in future Pan-Amencan
union meetings.
The announcement followed
the Pan-American union s deci
sion Monday to postpone con
sideration of Argentina's request
for a consulative meeting to
discuss her relations wan the
other American unions.
The undersecretary of foreign
affairs, Oscar Ibarra uarcia,
said:
Instructions Sent
'The Argentine government
has sent instructions to its rep
resentative on tne fan-Amert'
can union's board to present the
following note:
" 'Mr. President: I have the
honor to inform your excellent
cy that while, in the judgment
of my government, Argentine
nghts continue to be disregard'
ed and alteration of the con
sulative procedure persists, as
represented by the resolution
taken by the board at its ses
sion January 8, the Argentine
republic has decided to refrain
to participate in the meetings
of the fan-American union.
Only Link
The Pan-American union has
been Argentina s only diplomat.
ic link with most of the other
nations of the western hernia
phere since the present military
government ol president uen.
Edelmiro J. Farrell failed to
obtain recognition.
It has been this government's
contention, supported unoffici.
ally by some of the other na
lions, that the Fan-American
union's consultative procedure
gave Argentina the right to be
heard at a conference of Ameri
can ministers.
Although the Pan-American
union has not rejected Argen
tina's petition for such a con
ference, the foreign office ap
parently considered that its
rights bad been ignored by the
long delay.

three and a half miles and over
ran numerous Belgian towns in
cluding Ambly, four miles cast
of Rochefort.
Win Towns
The British took five towns
in the west and moved to within
a half mile of Laroche which
seemed doomed by the fall of
Sambreo, three miles to the
northeast.
Laroche itself was bypassed.
The Germans left only a small
holdine force in that town of
about 2000.
Near Escapa Rout
All along a 16-mile front on
the north side of the bulge, the
first army drove ahead in snow
for gains ranging from a half
mile to more than a mile. Van-
?uards were less than three miles
rom the last German escape
route from Houffalize to St.
Vith.
The Germans in diversionary
attacks in Alsace moved to with
in 10 miles south of Strasbourg.
Bitter fighting progressed nine
miles north of that provincial
capital.

is admittedly a lot of dealing
from under the counter some
times two or three packs at a
time and sometimes in carton
lots.
What the retailer Js doing is
TAKING CARE OF HIS CUS
TOMER. After all, what is
sounder or more fundamental in
American business than taking
care of your customer? If vou
are training your son to he a
salesman, and want him to be
a successful one, what do you
leacn mm; -Why.
you teach him to take
care of his customers so fairly
and so well that they will buy
from him with confidence. And
GO ON buying from him. Amer
ican business is founded on RE
PEAT customers people who
go on buying at the same place
because they feel that they are
well taken care of there.
The retailer who deals cie-
arettes from under the counter
at the regular, established price
(no black marketing, no boot
legging) is merely taking care
of his regular, established cus
tomers who provide the bulk of
his living.
TAKE a look at it from this
Cigarettes are admittedly
scarce. Theiv must have been
some reduction of consumption
by some individuals. But have
you seen anybody going wholly
without? This writer hasn't.
The private, unofficial system of
making the existing supply go
around seems to work with a
reasonable degree of fairness.
BUTTER is scarce. It is of
ficially rationed. IF YOU HAVE
THE POINTS, you can usually
get a little butter somewhere.
If you re out of points, you go
without.
If you re out of points, you re
out of butter Just as surely as
you're out of cigarettes if you
can't find any to buy.
ALL this is mere moralizing.
It gets us nowhere. We
have food rationing, and It's go
ing to be with us until the war
ends. Having started it, we'd
be foolish to wipe It all out and
start over. Vou can't win a war
by the process of fits and starts.
But LET'S NOT ACCEPT the
doctrine that ONLY GOVERN
MENT can deal fairly by the
people and that private business
is inherently wicked and crooked
and has to have Its ears knocked
down. In that way lies total
itarianism.
It is this writer s observation
and belief that the rationing that
has been practiced by private
business to spread out the sup
ply of certain scarce commodities
such as cigarettes, candy, gum,
etc., has worked just about as
fairly and perhaps even more
satisfactorily than the fancy government-run
point system.

The committee is considering
such a bill.
WASHING TON, Jan. 10 (PI
Rep. Sabiith tD lll.) declared to
day that Washington cocktail
rooms "are crowded with army
officers" and that it is "a damn
ablo outrage."
He proposed a congressional
Investigation of the armed serv
ices' use of manpower, asserting:
"Tlio cocktail rooms and clubs
are Jammed with service people
without any foreign service
stripes. I believe we have 30,000
more officers in the army than
we need."
Chairman of the house rules
committee and a staunch admin
istration supporter, Sabath pro
posed "a thorough house clean
ing" to reassign officers and men
in Washington who he contended
could be replaced "by girls and
messenger boys."

street railwaymcn's case was not
settled in the near future. No
confirmation could be obtained
for these reports.
Stores in the downtown areas
of the three cities reported a
falling off in numbers of shop
pers while smaller businesses in
the suburbs noted a correspond
ing increase In sales.
Shutdown Possible
Possibility that the Alaska
Pine company in New Westmin
ster might suffer a partial shut
down appeared when it was
noted tnat tne plant loads iz
freight cars daily which are
moved by electric locomotives
now strikebound. Limited stor
age space at the plant may cause
curtailment of production until
the strike is settled.
The niuht shift of Western Can

minster was cancelled and night
workers joined the day shift for
the strike's duration.

gomery Ward store and Lavenik
was driving his car on Alameda.
Lavenik testified that he was
driving "between 15 and 20
miles an hour on the right side
oi Alameda when all of a sudden
he saw the boy strike his wind
shield." Lavenik said he stopped
the car at the edge of the inter
section and asked for someone
to call an ambulance.
Young Davis was called to the
stand at which time he testified
that he saw Lavenik's car when
he, Davis, was some 10 feet from
the intersection and that "was
about the last he remembered."
Davis charged that Lavenik
was driving on the wrong side
of the street at the time of the
accident. The bicycle operated
by Davis was produced in
court.

mation employe, testified as a
