Realtors Ask Hike In Rents WASHINGTON, March 20 (P) An increase of not more than 10 per cent in house rents to offset rises in operating costs was pro posed to congress today by the National Association of Real Es tate Boards.

He emphasized, how ever, that his organization is not advocating removal of rent con trols. . The National Apartment Own ers association previously had suggested a flat 15 per cent in crease in rents. Snyder and James C.

Nation Faces Beef Crisis By The Associated Press A beef crisis that threatened to empty American meat coun ters stretched out from the mid west today, where the drastic re duction in the supply of slaugh ter steers at packing companies started an' OPA investigation to determine the cause of the seri ous shortage.

Two Kansas City packing com pany officials, stated that unless the OPA could ease the situation, which they said was caused by OPA price ceilings and a grow ing black market, the killing of beef would be halted indefin ately. ....

' Hope Seen For Russian Help ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., March 20 yP) Assistant secre tary of State Will Clayton sig nificantly called the world's at tention today to Russia's- plan; to sell wheat to France 'report edly for U. S. dollars' after Ig noring thus far a request from UNRRA for aid. Although he called the Soviet- French transaction a "report," he told UNRRA delegates that the war shipping administration, acting on a French request, had initiated arrangements to trans Dort the erain. , Clayton said that "this report gives ground for hope that the Soviet Union may be in a posi 'tion to give a favorable reply to the UNRRA request (for UNRRA in the form of grain) and thus alien itself with the United States and other supply ing countries. He disclosed that UNRRA had asked Russia "some time ago" whether it. could supply- any wheat. He said that' no definite reply has been received to this inquiry.

Protest To Be Brought Before UNO Required Seven Votes For Consideration Seem Assured TEHRAN, March 20 (AP) Said Zia Ed-Din, head of the National Will party and recognized lead er of the extreme right in the recent Iranian parlia ment, was taken from his home tonight by two men dressed in the uniforms of . Iranian army colonels. WASHINGTON, March 20 ?) Iran's formal charge that Rus sian troops have overstayed their term and that Soviet agents are adding to Iranian woes ap peared certain today to gain at tention of UNO's security council. American officials predicted that this country will support fully the troubled nation's ap peal to the council for prompt action. And indications are that of the 11 council members, Iran will get an easy majority for putting its case on the agenda for early consideration in the sessions scheduled to open in New York next Monday. Officials, do not discount the possibility that. Russia may ob ject.. However, since only a ma jority is required and since Rus sia, normally can count only on .polish support to back up any opposition, the required seven votes for consideration seem as sured. ' Made Public The Iranian complaint was made public here late yesterday by UNO General Secretary Trygve Lie. Filed by Iranian Ambassador Hussein Ala, who has been designated by his gov ernment to plead the case before the security ' council, it made these two specific charges: 1. That red army troops are remaining in Iranian territory beyond the March 2 deadline fixed under an. Anglo-Soviet-Iranian treaty, of January, 1942. This treaty specified that all for eign troops should be withdrawn from the country six months aft er the end of the war. 2. That Russia "is continuing to interfere in the internal af fairs of Iran through the medium of Soviet agents, officials and armed forces." ' Meanwhile, it appeared that in the face of these charges Rus sia is . continuing to send rein forcements into Iran for objec tives still described here as ob scure. Red Move ; The latest reports reaching the United States government said the troops were moving in the general direction of the fron tier junction of Iran, Turkey and Iraq. This is a section inhabited by Kurdish tribes which Russia is believed to be backing in a move to re-create an indepen dent, Kurdistan. American officials privately expressed agreement that the case may present virtually a life-and-death test of the secur ity council s power and prestige. At the same time, they noted that the only ultimate solution possible is one which depends on Russia's good will in abiding by whatever decision the coun cil might hand down. Two IP I a ones Simicflsh Dirotf High Peofcs SAN FRANCISCO, March 20 (AP) Crashes of two big army planes in northern California mountains yesterday ap parently took a death toll of 33 army and navy men, whose bodies ground crews labored in difficult terrain today to recover. Twenty-three bodies, some of them buried several feet in snow, had been found early today at the scene of a C-47 crash in the Sierra Nevadas, a mile from the ghost town of Hobart Mills and seven miles from Truckee, Calif. Three others listed on the flight from Stockton, Calif., bound for Ogden, Utah, were believed in the . yet inaccessible flight control compartment of the wreckage. A ground crew pushed toward the wreckage of a B-29 which crashed with seven crew-A men into the top of a 3820-foot i peak near Livermore, 30 miles southeast of San Francisco. The bomber came from Hickman Field, Honolulu. Its radio re ported engine trouble several hours before the plane plum meted to earth 10 feet from the top of the peak.

Temporary headquarters for the operations were established at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clair Heater, the only family living in Hobart Mills. Holes Marked . Workers marked holes from which bodies were dug from the snow, and an army board of investigation headed toward the scene from Truckee this morn ing. - The army readied a 13-ton wrecker for movement up the mountain when the road is cleared to lift the wrecked fuselage in hopes of retrieving the three bodies believed in the control room.

Who's To Say They've Been Thrown Into Better Jails Than This Artist Sketch Of The Proposed City-County Lockup n" jfr I .';t,--.-. ,, -' V i'..Mn ".!.!,' ' , l- ,-,'''nr,r - il- wl,-TW- This is an architect's sketch of the proposed cltycounty tail building for which $150,000 of city Bndxounty funds has been earmarked. The probable site of the building is the block between 2nd and 3rd streets and Klamath and Walnut, area now partly occupied by a lumber yard. Legal .procoodings may have to be instigated to acquire part: of the land. The building, as planned, would face Klamath and the lot would join the grounds of tne proposed veterans Memorial park. The city council of Klamath Falls set aside a $20,000 sinking fund as part of the city's share in the cost of the building and levied a mill and one-quarter assess ment last year to raise the remainder of the expected $50,. 000 city share. The county budgeted $100,000. In addition to the modern jail to be used by both city and county, the building is planned to house the sheriff's office and city police. This sketch was drawn by Sheldon Brumbaugh, local architect.
