Solon Says
Mail Favors
Price Lids
WASHINGTON, April 22 lA't
Senator Downey (D-Calif.) said
today OI'A'a chance in the aen
ate may be considerably im
proved by mall from consumers
who don't like the way the
house t mi led the price control
agency.
"My mall and telegrams are
running 20 to 23 to I in favor
of continuing OPA without
crippling .amendments," Dow
ney told a reporter,
"I am satisfied from talks in
California that the people are
overwhelmingly for it, except
for a few business men,''
Noting that aenatora who
want lo pare down OPA are
getting mall, too, Downey said
"I think It should make them
hesitate,"
OPA Backed
At the office of Senator
Wherry (R-Neb.), an ouUpokcn
critic of OI'A, It was reported
that mall in support of OPA
was beginning to come In, But
the lessening of correspondence
on the other side was described
as only a lull,
Downey noted that this is an
election year with one-third of
the senate up for reelection.
However, all of the house is
up for election, and that cham
ber voted by broad margins to
loosen price controls by means
of amendments to a bill to keep
OPA alive beyond ita present
June 30 expiration .date.
Demonstration
Even before Downey report
ed on results of hi mail. Eco
nomic Stabilizer Chester Bowles
said in statement that he is
convinced the whittled down
OPA bill will result in "the
greatest demonstration of de
mocracy In action that this
country has ever seen."
Predicting a flood of tele
grams and letters "from every
day citizens." Bowie said the
outcome will be congressional
rejection of "tho destructive
amendments."
Neither Downey nor such
OPA critics as Senator Bank
head (D-Ala.) would predict
what the senate might do, but
Hankhead disputed Bowles' con
tention that the house action
was a start on disastrous infla
tion. "Too jittery," sold Bank
head of Bowles.

All ministers agreed lo the

Shldehara became premier six
months ago after a series of po
litical shakcups which followed
Japan's surrender.
The action, predicted since no
party succeeded in gaining a ma
jority in tnc April li election,
came after a series of political
maneuvers so complete that they
dazzled the ordinary Japanese
and left the makeup of the next
government obscure.
The 74-year-old premier took
his resignation to the imperial
palace shortly after 7 p. m,

JHDAY, APRIL 22, IMS
ern uregon ana joscpnine coun
ty, ex-Chief Bighorn Jim Cum
nock, Spalding ordered an ulti
matum to the Klamath camp.
The trouble was brewed by a
group of neophlte historians at
Klamath Falls who Friday chal
lenged the right to call the his
toric route the Applegate Trail,
claiming the only historic basis
for a name is for "Southern
Itoute."
"Southern Route means noth
ing," said ex-Chief Bighorn
Chinnock. "The other route is
a northern route, too, but it is
known throughout the world as
the 'Old Oregon Trail,' and that
means something. The southern
route was laid out by a party
ted by Jesse Applegate in 184S,
and that is sufficient reason for
calling it the Applegate Trail,
Oregon history is replete with
references lo the trail by this
name. Sufficient reason, other
than that, would be to honor a
noble pioneer family."
C. W. Thornberry, manager
of the Grants Pass and Joseph
ine County chamber of com
merce, came in with his two
bits worth by "wondering" if
the Klamath group is miffed be
cause the Applcgatca did not
settle among the lava and peli
cans, but moved on to ths fer
tile valleys of Jackson and
Josephine counties, and the cli
mate here . , . "and he went

OPA Favored"

W. Lamar Townsend. Klam-

on of the burning Questions of
the day, retention of price con
trols, dinerent from the view
expressed by his opponent. Rep.
Lowell Stockman, who voted
against extension of the OPA.
Stockman wa quoted as saying
that he voted against the OPA
on general principles and in his
opinion the UFA was "respon
sible for shortages we haye had
to face in this country."
In an interview today. Town-
send went on record as faVoring
a "fair price control to protect
the consumer against inflation
until such time as no price con
trols are needed."
The local attorney believes
that the control line should hi
flexible, based on costs of pro-
uuiuun so mat no business
would be throttled, but should
be strict enough so that consum
ers savings will not be dissipat-
in iiiiiiiiea living coals. -"When

Ruckus On Train
Brings Sentence
William Arthur Goley, 58,
was sentenced to 25 days in
jail or a $80 and costs fine in
justice court this morning after
he pleaded guilty to causing a
ruckus on a Southern Pacific
train Saturday night during
which he is said to have drawn
a knife on the SP special In
vestigator who tried to arrest
him.
It was brought out In court
that Goley had been drinking
and had made advances toward
women on the train and when
Clarence Champlain, railroad
investigator, went to arrest him
Goley drew a knife.
Goley was taken into custody
and placed in the county jail.
The fray occurred on a train
coming into Klamath Falls
when the train was near Mid
land. Goley was booked for dis
orderly conduct.
He is believed to be from
Portland. In jail this morning
he was reported to be writing
voluminous tetters. Including
one to the director of "Alco

Shot At By
4 Aircraft
VIENNA, April 22 m Four
Russian fighter planes made
runs on a U. S. army C-47
transport and fired from two
to four 37 millimeter shots off
the plane's wing today as it
came into the U, S, army air
port at TuIIn, Just outside Vien
na. Airmen at the field identified
the fighters as P-38s furnished
to Russia by American lend
lease. The four followed the
transport right to the field,
leaving only after it had
touched the ground. The C-47
was on a test run and carried
no passengers.
Capt. James C. Baxter, the
pilot, was asked for a report as
soon as he landed. Expressing
indignation, Baxter said he saw
two of the shots fired and add
ed he believed there were oth
ers. FmI Concunion
"That's all right in cross
country flight when you can
just sit there and fly," he said,
"but I do not like it when you
are in transition between fly
ing and landing, f saw two
white puffs from the 37-millimeter
cannon in the nose of a
fighter and we could feel the
concussion Inside the plane."
Four other members of the
transport's crew corroborated
Baxter's report. The pilot said
he was within the 10-mile area
around the airfield prescribed
far- American ptanes by the
Russians when the fighters ap
peared. Baxter wa flying at
ouuu reet, ana ine Russians ioi
lowed him all the way down,
diving over and under his plane
as he prepared to land, he said.
Because the airport is inside
the Russian occupation zone,
the Russians have prescribed
strict regulations for the opera
tion of American aircraft. They
must remain within certain
lanes when flying to and from
the city and are not permitted
to fly over Vienna. The flight
from Vienna to Berlin must be
made via Frankfurt, although
that takes planes far off the
most economical route.
Today's incident occurred in
full view of a large crowd of
soldiers at the airport and cor
respondents who had gathered
there to greet a party of 14
American publishers flying to
Vienna from Frankfurt. It took
place about a half hour before
the arrival of the publishers'
plane, which was not molested.

Dr. K, A. Grennan, after be
ing with the stricken 73-year-old

ment: "The chief justice has bad a

more serious at the moment.
"He must have complete rest

no evidence whatever of a heart
condition,"
Grennan said Stone would not
go to a hospital, but would be
driven home with his wife, who
was summoned when he became
ill.

have escaped from the state peni
tentiary following yesterday's
Easter church services the
fourth break m a month.

said guards were searching the
prison grounds today on the
chance that Logan might still be
there, but that he thought Logan
bad gotten out.
Logan was first missed at 2
p. m. yesterday and guards be
gan the search immediately, but
the alarm was not spread outside
the prison.
Logan entered prison only a
month ago from Multnomah

sault while armed with a danger
ous weapon.
Board of control members
are expected to meet this week
to consider means of stopping
the prison breaks, Logan being
the ninth man to break out in
the past four weeks if he actu
ally did get out.
The first break was when live
men broke out after attending a

Dyson is still at large. Two trus
ties at the prison farm then left

break was last Saturday when a
prisoner EroKe out of his solitary
