U. S. Stand Tougher; Pauley To Hold Fort Lawmakers Paid Wages By Oil Firm ' WASHINGTON. March 1 (!) A Los Angeles advertising man testified toduy thnt Edwin W. Pauley's petrol corporation paid the salaries of two California state legislators ho employed for five months in lO.'iO and 1040. Cliel Crank, the witness, told the senate naval committee that ho was reimbursed by Pauley's company for tho $200 monthly he paid each man. He identified the two as John W. Evans and Cecil R. King and said ho cm ployed them from September 1, 1030, to March 1, 1U40. King, a democrat, now is a member of congress from California, Stands Pat The committee is considering Pauley's nomination to be un dersecretary of tho navy. The appointment has been under at tack at the hearing and else where, but Pauley has said he does not intend to withdraw. The two California legislators were active, Crank said, in ob taining permits for driveway changes and other construction In connection with the petrol corporation's efforts to per suade filling stations to sell its products. No Knowledge Pauley previously had testi fied he had no knowledge that any legislators had been em ployed by his firm. The com mlttco had struck from Its rec ords the names of tho two men, after some members complained that they had been mentioned only In hearsay testimony. Senator Tobcy (R-N.H.) brought out that a 183B cam paign In which Pauley was ac tive, to prevent repeal of a California oil conservation law, was under way when the two were employed through Crank's advertising agency.

In Detroit, meanwhile, efforts to settle the 101-day-old General Motors strike proved fruitless at a short parley today and the negotiations were recessed un til tomorrow. Tho brief meeting followed an unusual night session which had given rise to an air of expec tancy that a break might be near in tho long stalemate which al ready has cost $750,000,000 In lost sales and wages. 2-Day Moating At tho some time, registration began in Detroit for a two-day meeting of the CIO United Auto Workers GM council, tho group which would hove to ratify any agreement the negotiators might reach.

Terry's parents, came from Char lotte to Annapoli early today for the reunion with their daugh ter. Shortly afterwards, they left for Washington and planned to fly back home. The child and the nurse were found by police and naval Intel ligence officers after a tip from Mrs. Hclene Seay, wife of Capt. George Cameron Seay of the Naval academy. Tho child and the nurse were at the Seay home, where the nurse had been em ployed. The young woman, Basil said, came to Annapolis at the end of a journey which started out as a trip to a Charlotte soda fountain with Terry and a soldier. Mrs. Seay said the nurse posed as a destitute widow of three weeks with a four-year-old child. The "mother" called the child, "Jerry." When the tot spoke in a southern accent and the nurse, who told police she was reared in Topckn, Kas did not. Mrs,. Seay's 9 u s pi c 1 o n s, already aroused by newspaper dispatches from Charlotte, were increased. She notified hor husband and the child told him her name was Terry, which jibed with the name of tho missing Charlotte girl.

He tempered his remarks with the assertion that ho was "convinced that there is no rea son for war between any of the great powers," and added that only an "inexcusable tragedy of errors could cause serious con flict between this country and Russia." Calling for a "stop to this maneuvering for strategic ad vantages all over the world," he saia: 1. "We will not and we can not stand aloof if force or the threat of force is used contrary to the purposes of the (United Nations; charter. No Bight 2.

Kaiser Backs Price Control WASHINGTON', March 1 (iP) Henry J. Kaiser told congress to day that removal of price con trols "would spell ruin for the great mass of mankind which has only limited purchasing power." The west coast industrialist made the forecast while urging the house banking committee to approve legislation to continue OPA. Kaiser declared abolition of the agency would result in "in flation of disastrous proportions . . . throughout the whole field of production and distribution . . . laying its heaviest toll on those who are the least able to bear it." He said he agreed with oppon ents of price control that the best way to avoid inflation is to in sure full production, but he add ed: . "There is," as Vet," no convinc ing argument that full produc tion must await removal of price controls. "The office of stabilization can and will help us to increase production, and I am certain that the OPA will, handle its pricing power to the end that maximum production will be achieved. The best way to increase pro duction win De to stop bickering and co to work, with all sides ready to give and take in the all- important effort to raise produc tion to the level , of demand.

Strike Threat Floods Stores Frantic phone calls and heavy buying at butcher shops today followed .'. the announcement that Klamath county slaughter ers were going on strike at mid night last night. Meat counter operators re ported heavier buying than' at any time during the past few years. During "red point" days buying was necessarily limited and after rationing was lifted housewives "took It easy, " usu ally buying for only one or two meals in advance. Phone calls started coming in Thursday evening immedi ately after the announcement was received that Klamath county slaughterers would kill only lamb and pork. The main questions were regarding '. the supply of meat on hand and re questing butchers' to save meat for their customers. Calls Continue Friday morning phone . calls continued and buying started in earnest. Meat counters in Klam ath Falls were lined with house wives, trying to lay in a supply of meat to last during the emer gency. One woman purchased $12.50 of meat at one place to "stash away" in a freezing lock-er- Chain-system phone calls last ing two hours were reported by one butcher. Butchers indicated today that the present supply of meat will last approximately two days if the buying rush, continues. .

Irked Over OPA Ceiling Local Producers May Follow Lead Of Portland Men Action which may cut off al most the entire bottled milk sup. ply consumed in Klamath Falli and the surrounding area, was threatened today when a meet ing of 130 milk producers, mem bers of the Dairy Producers' as sociation, was called in the city hall. The small dairy operators and milk producers were asked to form a concensus whether to follow the lead of Portland area dairymen in demanding that the OPA let up on its milk ceiling or continue on a losing basis. There was little doubt shown at the meeting that the collective opinion here was to take action immediately. The Portland producers are now getting 95 cents a pound for butterfat in whole milk, and have served notice on the OPA that if the price is not raised to $1.15 by March 15, their wholo milk will be diverted from thai bottle market into other outlets. Ceiling Price The ceiling price under which local producers are operating ia 85 cents. The board of directors of the Dairy Producers association li now empowered to act for the dairymen of the Klamath valley, and their action will probably be to follow the lead of the Port land area producers in asking that the ceiling price be raised to $1.15. Wilbur Relllng, president of the association, conducted the opinion-finding meeting. : ine men meeting today are the little dairy operators and milk producers of the valley, the, men who do their own milking. Big producers, who worked large herds and hired their milking done, have been steadily selling off the herds and going out of business it was pointed out, and about half of the small produc ers have now announced their intention of doing the same. The large producers could hot operate on a financially sound basis under the OPA ceiling, and the small producers, who do not have as much production cost, are also finding it difficult to keep their heads above water now, it was declared. 7000 Cattle In normal times there wera over 7000 dairy cattle in tho Klamath valley, when enoueh milk for local consumption plus an excess was produced. Now the herds number less than half of that figure, the result of the larger operators going out. jvieanwruie production costs have steadily climbEti. In normal times hay was $8 a ton, now is between $25 and $30 a ion; grain was $z a ton, now is $66 a ton; farm labor was $50 to $60 a month, now the wage ceiling is $200 a month, with a critical shortage at that price. These factors, the dairymen asserted, are making the 85-cent ceiling price for butterfat too low for continuance. The Portland producers have facilities for making powdered milk and can get $1.05 a pound Duttenat Dy diverting their whole milk into that channel. That is what they intend to do after March 15. Alternative Here the Droducers have tha alternative of diverting milk from the bottle market to mar kets for cheese, cottage cheese or to ship sweet cream to other centers. Such a change maV entail a sacrifice in revenue, Relling said, Dut operating costs would be greatly lowered by the produc ers not having to follow grade A standards. The standards aren't observed very strictly in this state or any where else, during the milk shortage, it was pointed out. If milk reacnes the creamery in condition to oass sediment and bacteria tests, it's accepted. In normal times, however, the state standards were enlorced. If the diversion action is taken it will halt all of the milk now being sold in bottles here. Over half the milk sold locally Is ship ped in from other dairying dis tricts to local distributors for bottling. The great increase in Klamath population, plus the fact that large producers have gone out of business, was cited as reason for milk having to be shipped to this area. Actually, a little less than half the milk con sumed here is produced locally. Members of the board of di rectors who will decide what is to be done by the dairymen are Earl Tilton, Ed Wilkerson, Charles Whltmore, Ernest Graves, Jack Weimer and Rell ing. County Agent C. A. Hend erson is acting secretary to the group. . Arriving In United States By The Associated Press Louis C.
