Only three jtamps were sold the first day. Auto stamps sell for $5 each if purchased before the deadline 'July 1. A fine of an additional $5 is added for those purchased after the closing date. . These auto use stamps are necessary for all motor vehicles using pub lic Highways, including taxis, trucks, , motorcycles, lumber carryalls, and private cars. Stamps must be fastened to the windshield where they can be seen.- Sticking the stamD bv the rear view mirror has been sug gested as it is less subject to curling corners and tearing in this " position. Masking tape is ijot advisible for securing the stamp to the windshield as it is too easily removed when fast ened in this manner, and several uto use stamps have been re- portea stolen trom windshields. . Another suggestion which has been made reeardine the stamos. is- for the operator to copy the number on the back of his stamp for identification in case of theft. , used car dealers must pur hase a stamp for each vehicle Jra the lot, and business firms and growers with several cars and trucks must have a stamp for each one. t Few Grade School Cafeterias Adequate ; PORTLAND, June 14 (P) Only five of 35 Portland elemen tary school cafeterias meet prop er standards, Superintendent Willard B.

Laton Stephens, U. S. bureau of reclamation, stated. The request made by the chamber through the reclama tion bureau was forwarded by Stephens to the regional office.

Jacob L,. Devers said today that although the Germans had enormous quantities of a new type of poison gas known as ' ureen King 111, there was no evidence to show they ever intended to use gas ai an offensive weapon. Devers, who commanded the sixth army group on the western front, said that If Hitler ever had seriously contemplated use of gas, he was restrained by the German general stall. CRITTENDEN WATER BILL FACES SENATE SACRAMENTO. June 14 fP) Approved by the assembly with all of the major controversial features intact, the Crittenden multiple purpose water re sources bill was back in the sen ate today for concurrence in relatively minor amendments, its enactment seemingly assured. The bill which evoked days of argument in the upper house was passed by the lower cham ber after only three hours of night session debate. Action of the senate judiciary committee, taken at the request of Assemblyman Gardiner John son. summarily stilled the wide spread conflict which had been aroused by his proposal to per mit the adoption of the Illegiti mate infant of a married mother to be given in adoption without notification to. or consent of her husband. The controversial provision was stricken from his bill at his suggestion. The measure, he said, was introduced at the in stance of the social welfare de partment and it had been found impossible to redraw the lan guage of that section to meet both the objectives of the de partment and the objections it had evoked. Also, he said, doubt had arisen as to the wisdom of the section. MARKETS TO CLOSE OREGON CITY, June 14 (ff) Two Oregon City meat markets have decided to close an extra day each week due to the fresh meat shortage. Farr Brothers selected Tues day while Mosers' market chose Wednesday. Other operators are considering similar action. "Even In Africa wo carried thousands of tons of anti-gas pro tective equipment, but 1 finally stopped the boys from transport ing it to Italy. and told them to concentrate' on H. E. (high ex plosives) and let the excess bag gage go, Devers said. i torn them to get all tho II. E, across they could. , That's the thing. Poison gas is' never decisive, and the German general stuff knew it, even If Hitler didn't." One chemical warfare expert said there wcro two occasions when the Germans could have used ga3 with devastating effect. One was on D-Day, whon masses of men were concentrated on the Normandy beaches; the other at the Remanen brldiieheud across the Rhine, when five full American infantry divisions were crammed into a single small area. "This was tho Germans' last Juicy target," the expert said. After we fanned out across the Rhine they never had another chance." There were two scares, the expert said, which resulted in near panic among tno American troops aii greatly hampered operations. The first of these." he said. "was July 27. two days after tho St. Lo breakthrough. Somebody shouted 'gas'." The word spread along the front, and some sec tors bordered on panic. "We investigated at once and found that someone had caught whiff of the fumes from a fuel tank jettisoned from an enemy plane. It spread a funny odor and he thought it was gas. The other scare occurred near Thionvillc in the Mctz area and proved equally untrue. An old dump of French artillery shells was uncovered and word quick ly spread we had exploded a poison gas dump." uevers said that in his opinion the only real value gas had was its value as a threat. It makes you carry masks. gas shells, protective clothing. it slows you down. LACK OF SUGAR MAY BE AT YEAR'S SEATTLE.
