Maximum Farm Waqes Outlined . PORTLAND, March 9 UP) The state WFA wage board has set 85 cents as the hourly max imum farm wage rate in Ore gon, corresponding to the $200 a month designated by the war food administration. Only with WFA approval or if they paid more during the year before December 9, . 1943, can farmers exceed this pay, said Alden E. Orr, board executive officer.

The rate is based on a nine hour work day and 26 work days monthly. Man Found Nailed To Cross on Elevated Railroad In Chicago .' (Continued From Page One) the victim changed his story later, and finally refused to talk. Questioning of a brother, Frank, only produced a blank wall. Police advanced these theories as to the motive: ' A publicity: stunt; a religious fanaticism in which Walscher was to be a human sacrifice In "emulation of barbaric rites of pa ganism; a martyr complex in which Walscher offered himself to some cult. "I've seen nearly everything else in my 30 years of police work," O'Connell said, "but I've never seen anything like this." Information on Walscher's background was sketchy. Police said he had been born In Austria, had come to America in 1921 and worked as a professional glass blower, more recently as a tav ern porter. MATINEE DAILY OPEN 1:30 OPEN EVENINGS :4S .

Extent of Bombing Damage On German Cities Assessed (Continued from Page One) the Kaiser Wilhelm ring, is vir tually wiped out. It is difficult to describe such devastation. But if a New Yorker should wake up some morning to find every building in Manhattan just a shell and the streets piled with rubble with no water, no lights, no gas and not a pane of glass in the whole island the situation would be comparable to that in Cologne. From the center of the city and around the port the devas tation dwindles off in the sub urbs, where there are some buildings with just a hole or two in them. Germans in the city estimate that raids have killed or injured 70,000 persons 30,000 of them last summer and fall. Every factory has been hit once or twice. Some are out of commission permanently. None have been operating since last September 1. They could not keep enough workers in the plants for efficient operation. Cologne had such vital war S reduction plants as the . Ham aldt Deutz motor works, which built airplane and tank motors and employed 22,000. This plant was destroyed. The Ger mans say the same destruction is happening in the rest of the Ruhr towns. Seaman Files Suit For Shooting Mishap PORTLAND, March 9 (IP) Suit has been filed here against the William J. Burns Detective agency, Kingsley Lumber com pany, and an agency guard by a seaman who was shot on his way to his ship February 27. Claude A.

"Wo Hre just sitting hero hold ing our breath," Col. French told newspapermen. He remarked that the waters must recede "a foot or two" be fore residents could return to the threatened two-thirds of the city's area. Reports from Marietta, far up stream, said the river there was falling at a rapid rate, and thst merchants were returning to the flooded city block by block. Senators Watch Moscow Dealings WASHINGTON, March 9 MP) Senators watched the Moscow negotiations on a provisional Polish government today for ad vance signs of the kind of Big Three nation cooperation they may expect at the world secur ity conference. Calling the Moscow meeting a testing ground, Senator Van denberg (R-Mlch.) told a report er the results will demonstrate to him, at least, how far Russia is willing to go in accepting American and British view points on political matters vital ly affecting the Soviets. Transportation of Japanese Resolved PORTLAND, March 9 (IP) A resolution urging congress to transport all Japanese both nisei and aliens to "some island under jurisdiction of the American government" is being circulated by a group of Spring-dale-Corbett area farmers. Their spokesman, Erlck En quist, Troutdale, said the farm ers drew up the .petition be cause Oregon legislators have failed to act on -anti-Japanese memorials. The resolution asserts that Japanese hold "dual citizen ship," declares that residence of the two races in the same neigh borhood "embarrasses both," and that low Japanese living standards are .detrimental. Jap Bombs Cause Ship to Founder WASHINGTON, March 9 VP) Japanese aerial bombs set off fires which caused the Liberty ship William S. Ladd to founder in - Leyte - gulf "several weeks ago," the war shipping ad ministration announced todav. Six seamen were injured. The attacking plane was shot down. Captain Nels F. Anderson, Silver Lake. Wash., ordered the ship abandoned when flames menaced several hundred bar rels of gasoline and 100 tons of ammunition.

The notion is loose that Jesse Jonoi might somehow wind up with them under his wing, and there were many questions about Jones' status. The President grinned and answered that so far as he knows Jones is "an ex-socrctary of the department of commerce." "Doos HE know it?" a reporter asked, which raised a laugh in which FDR Joined. Ho did, In answer to a question, admit that a loan administrator will be named soon. COMEONE wanted to know " why San Francisco was chosen for the United Nations conference to bo held in April. "Well, It just looked like n pretty good place," FDR an swered. TF you read carefully between the lines, all this may give you an idea as to why there is so much conflicting news from Washington. There are so many things that people want to know about as. for example, why was Henry Wallace chosen to be secretary of commerce? Was It merely to pay a political debt? Or does it portend a sharp change of economic policy In the future? And so on. Clear, definite answers arc not available to these questions. So the reporters speculate, and their speculations are answered often with heated denials. A franker, opener news policy would head off much of this. T57E should perhaps make an " exception of the news deal ing with international confer ences such as that at Yalta. The Russians are a peculiar breed. They have no conception of our Ideals of freedom of the news. They look upon newspapers, the radio, pamphlets, etc.. as merely devices for the handling of the people by the rulers. There is no opposition party in Russia. If you don't like the way the government is running things you keep quiet about it. Other wise the government will keep you quiet. Maybe for a long time The Russians are extremely suspicious of the western democ racies. It is conceivable that if our people and the British had given out everything that hap pened at Yalta, exactly as it hap pened, the Russians might have taken it as an insult and called everything off. And. again read ing between the lines, there seems little doubt that Russia was the dominant power at Yalta. So, much as we may dis like it we have to take our in ternational news as we get it. The P-59A was the first jet propelled fighter plane used by the U. S. army air force.
