This in volves a quarter-mill levy. Tho third measure calls for tho paving of small strips around city parks, such as those in Mills addition and Hot Springs. Tho measures were widely discussed at a special meeting of tho city council yesterday.

Each night, no said, ho emp tied his trouscr pockets, tossing odd change and such folding money as he feels he can spare on the dresser-top. His watch, keys and billfold he tucks into a shoe. Next morning the shoe and its cargo arc intact but there is no cash on tho dresser. Suspenders Handy Men who wear suspenders ap parently have little difficulty in disposing of their pants for the evening. Any handy protuber ance, door corner, knob, van ity mirror, bed or colling light fixture serves as a spot over which to loop a suspender strap and there tho garment dangles until morning. The automatic press gained by folding trousers under tho mattress at night, as endorsed and urged by the armed forces, has few followers in civilian life, and probably even fewer in tho military. No ono ques tioned about the trouscr prob lem admitted snatching a quick press in that fashion, which may account for the overload on cleaning and pressing shops, , , An unattached ex-servlcemari, currently living in a hotel, was one who slated he draped his Rep.

Tho commander of tho naval operating bnsc at Kodink, in a message to 13th naval district headquarters, reported further search ' had been abandoned after discovery of a capsized lifeboat, life rafts, and other life-saving equipment in the general vicinity of tho wreck. Only one survivor, instead of IB. as first renorted was appar ently found aboard tho floating forepart of the tanker, now in tow of another Russian vessel, tho message said. Tho rescuing ship and other Russian ships have not answered queries sent them both in English and Rus- slan, probably due to their in ability to reply, tho message stoted. . , .The American tanker Puonte Hills, with 47 persons taken off the aft section of the ship and with that in tow, was on the way south, cither to Seattle er Portland. , Two navy Privateer plnnes and a navy PBY and tho fleet tugs Sarsi and Gear made re peated search of the area but high winds and snow tho past 10 days left little hope for any remaining survivors, the mess age said. The Russian tanker Belgorod was reported en route to Dutch Harbor, in the Aleutians, pre sumably with tho forepart in tow, and is' .expected about March 4.

Clothes hangers occasionally come in to the niche in life for which they were created, as this pursuit of inconsequential knowl edge revealed, and men gener ally agree that the wire con traptions arc fine for keeping newly-acquired press in a pair of pants. If an empty hanger is close by men as a rule will seriously consider placing their trousers on it. Then comes the problem of where to hang the hanger. Housing Bill Passes Test WASHINGTON, Feb. 28 (VP) The house rejected todoy by a 143 to 29 standing vote a mo tion by Rep. Rankin (D-Miss.) to kill without further debate the administration's emergency housing legislation. The action came after Rankin shouted to the house that the legislation would drive the building industry out of busi ness or nto' the black market. Ho proposed to strike out the enacting clause. , . Action on Rankin's motion, however, did not - indicate the ultimate disposition of the hous ing legislation, as the opposi tion on the motion won on an argument that the legislative body should not refuse to de bate and thrash out housing legislation. A few minutes earlier the ad ministration lost the first actual test on the legislation, as the house voted 145 to- 88 to ter minate June 30, 1947, any emer gency powers it may grant for the production of more houses.

Frank Lowell of Klamath Pack said today that It was im possible to follow regulations as laid down by OPA without the operator going into the black market. The meat opera tors said they "were not on strike but simply could not operate under existing OPA regulations" and therefore were not killing beef or veal until the matter was straight ened out. It is estimated that the pres ent beef and veal supply would last not over one week at the most. Slaughterers said today that there was virtually no lamb on hand and the pork supply has been exceptionally limited this past year. I Seeks Office w w. LAMAR TOWNSEND Townsend To Seek Office W.
