Angell was notified today by Walter Myers, fourth assistant fiostmastor general that tho pub ic roads administration la mov ing Its Portland offices away from the building and that IB rooms on tho third floor will be uvollablo for postal purposes. Intercoastal Freight Service Resumed PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 10 (fl5) Intercoastal freight service, a war casualty, will be underway once more with tho arrival of the Lynchberg Victory, sched uled to dock here today from New York. Waterfront officials reported threo other vessels from New York duo here with varied car goes this week. The ships, after unloading goods in Portland, will continue to Seattle, spokes men said. Man Loses Life , In Santiam River SALEM, Dec. 10 MP) Clarence E. Butts, 66, employe of tho army engineers, was drowned last week In tho flood-swollen Santiam river, on which he had been working on a survey of tho Santlam-Sweet Home flood control project. Ho was one of four employes thrown into the river when their rowboat capsized. National Potato Letter Total Spud Shipments Last Week Snowed Sharp Decline December IB potato crop re port will give a good Idea as to how the crop actually turned out. This means that murket factors to watch now aro move ment, which la sort of cumula tive clue to spring supplies of late stock and the January merchantable stock! report, which will show up the amount of freezing loss suffered In Ida ho and some other states, espe cially In tho Red River valley where some stock In temporary storage may show loss. Impor tant Item from a market stand point Is that If those temporary storages aro not emptied before tha freeze-up, thoy cannot be emptied until weather moder ates. This would tend to dam up supplier and Increase the size of market supplies in the spring. t Movsmsnt Total shipments last week slipped off again after climbing the weok before, Daily average was 863 cars or a total of S178, compared with 5547 curs last week. Most significant change was In Maine, where the de cline was 4'i2 cars, or more than the gains In other states. Note, However, government cars Increased from a total of the previous week of 390 to 466 cars which means that do mestic consumption actually fell more than the shipment fig ures Indicate. Drop was partly due to the holiday and Thanksglvlng-to-Christmas doldrums, which Is no cause for concern. But part ly It was duo to lack of de mand, which cannot be dis counted, and to unwillingness to sell before the 1945 tax year runs out. This may mean that some potatoes, not marketed when they should have been, still may be around when they shouldn't be. Possibly the tax savings by delayed marketing will be offset by a wild scram ble to unload after the year ends. If this occurs, the Janu ary 1 stocks could be exces sive and we can't expect the storage shrink we had In 1943 1944, because this year's crop is generally of better than aver age quality. Demand, Markets, Prices F.o.b information indicates little need for a detailed report on shipping point markets. With one exception there is practically no change in ship ping points since last week's letter, with all markets charac terized by slow demand and dull to fair trading. The excep tion Is Idaho, which took a turn for the worre with little de mand and the market slightly weaker this week. The same f.o.b report states "car shortage curtailing shipments," which uhould mean that shipments would be heavier if cars were available. Obvtously this would be bad for a weakening market but good from the standpoint of getting the crop moved. Goes to prove what we said before, that folks In the potato business hang tight when the market is stout but tend to sell all they can move when the market declines. Border states from North Da kota on east are getting a nice outlet in potatoes for exports, FREE MAINTENANCE Up To 8 Years On Our New Roofs All Types Flat Work, Composition Shingles and Prompt Repair Service Finest Quality Materials and Workmanship GREMS ROOFING CO.

A Del Monte improve ment in selecting and blending that adds up to the flavor richness you expect from Del Monte I -the quality peat with the flatXH, fiiSC blend for which the demand continues strong. Frankly, these export deals h-ve been a life-saver. Maine, uptnte New York, Mich igun, and the Red River valley almost certainly would be In serious trouble without this out let. In Michigan, the price Is nominally at the floor, but there are very few domestic sales. In the Red River valley and Wisconsin there are so few domestic salts it is difficult to establish the true market level, and many of the valley offer ings still are rolling unsold. There has been little indication that the Canadian - deal would affect western stock, but re ports of scarce supplies In west ern provinces hint that Idaho Oregon and Washington may get some of the Canadian busi ness which might help hold prices in these areas although there doesn't seem much possi bility that cither the United States or Canadian government would subsidize shipments at above-floor prices. Terminal market Information Is somewhat sketchy this week because of last week's holiday. Generally, the terminals show little change from last week, with a wide range of feeling reported although last week's Chicago telephone strike natur ally interfered with the normal conduct of business in that im portant market. Starch diversion continues at about half of factory capacity and is unlikely to rise much until Maine shipments pick up. The alcohol plant at Muscatine now appears to have plenty of supplies in sight, mostly under special . emergency loans. Phila delphia plant is slacking off due to the cleanup of govern ment holdings in New Jersey. Future operations at this plant are somewhat doubtful. Exports are an Important fac tor in the markets. It now seems impossible that USDA will be able to fulfill the Belgian con tract during November, as agreed. Maybe Belgium will grant an extension, but we have no word on this yet. Canadian shipments reached the 1100-car mark last week and may run up to a total of 2000 cars in terms of Canadian import per mits this week, although ship ments certainly are consider ably behind this figure. Current reports in Washington say that Canada expects to take about 1000 cars more this year and up to 5000 cars the first half of 1946. Many of the currently is sued permits for Canada may cover future deliveries, since possession of a permit is a pre requisite to making a purchase contract. The French deal still is warm and may yet develop for a rumored OH million bushels. If true, this would be a splendid development, mar ketwlse, as it .would take an other 10 per cent of our initial 1945 surplus and make the spring cleanup prospect much less troublesome. PORTLAND, Dec. 10 W The body of P. George Siemens, 40, Portland ship repair worker, was found in the hold of a ship docked here. Siemens apparently fell into the hold while opening the hatch. Flashes of Life BOBBY SOX SCHEMES PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 10 (JP) War-conscious youngsters have added to their repertoire of tricks. A telephone call to H. F. San tee, grade school principal here, advised him that the Portland army air base wanted all schools dismissed because "one of our balloons got away and it is load ed with high explosives." The voice was sweet, feminine and young. Santee and air base officials agreed that the next trick might involve an atomic bomb varia tion. . BAFFLER FORT SCOTT, Kas., Dec. 10 (P) Cpl.

Can you imagine your milkman, grocer, bar ber or tailor charging you extra just because you were able to pay more than some people? Of course you can't. And what a state of con fusion everything would soon be in if people tried to operate that way. Suppose the people GM workers trade with told them, "We know you make more than most industrial workers, so we're going to charge you more for everything!' Yet this is exactly the principle VAW-CIO leaders are trying to establish in their wage demands on General Motors. : - ' To be logical, union leaders should also say to a company that is losing money, "You're having a hard time making both ends meet . so we're suggesting a cut in wages."
