Canned Foods
WASHINGTON, June 19 (IP)
Housewives will pay more for
part of the 1946 pack of canned
fruits and vegetables put up by
processors who have granted
approved wage increases.
Announcing this today, ui'A
said it had scarcely any infor
mation on the number and ex
tent of such pay raises, and thus
could not predict the general ef
fect on prices that the higher
costs will exert.
The only clue OPA could of
fer to price changes is based on
an approved wage increase of 10
cents an hour recently granted
by California canners. OPA said
that as a result, retail prices for
No. 2 cans of fancy mammoth
asparagus spears produced in
California will bo raised about
one cent a can.
In addition to offsetting wage
increases, fruit packers will be
permitted to raise their prices
to compensate for a half-cent a
pound hike in sugar costs which
went into effect last February.
Another sugar price increase of
a fifth of a cent a pound is pend
ing. OPA said, too, that if subsi
dies arc eliminated on canned
corn, peas, tomatoes and tomato
products, retail prices will be
raised by tho amount of the'sub
sidy. Price control - bills ap
proved by the house and senate
fall for a slash in subsidies.
On canned vcgctoblcs, OPA
provided a pricing formula, ef
fective June 24, which takes in
to consideration approved wage
increases. Individual firms will
uso this for calculating ceilings
on corn, peas, asparagus, toma
toes, lima beans, blackeye peas,
mushrooms, catsup, chill sauce,
tomato purees, tomato Juice and
tomato sauce.

Senate Passes
Klamath Funds
WASHINGTON, June 19 (IP)
The senate overrode republican
objections and upheld today the
increases which its appropria
tions committee made in funds
voted by the house for reclama
tion projects in western states.
The senate appropriations
committee had hiked the house
allowances by $21,832,648.
Most of the projects are in
states where there are torrid
senatorial election contests but
politics was not brought into the
debate. -
Bridges contended "materials
arc scarce, labor is scarce, and
this is a very poor time to go
ahead with these projects." But
Senator Hoyden (D-Ariz.) denied
that is so. Havden is floor leader
for the interior department ap
propriation in which the funds
are included -
Both Havden and Senator
O'Mahoney (D-Wyo.) argued that
thousands of veterans want to
settle on public lands and that
the reclamation projects, pro
viding irrigation for dry areas,
would enable them to do so.
Project aDoroDriations ap

Kings River, Calif., $200,000;

State Workers
Get Pay Raise
SALEM. June 19 (JP) Several
thousand state employes will re
ceive an average pay increase
immediately averaging $10 per
month to take care of increased
living costs. Budget ' Director
George Aiken announced today.
' He said . the. raise would be
given only to those employes
who are not getting the salaries
which the new civil service law
prescribes for their positions.
Aiken said the cost would be
considerable and would cause
several departments to have
deficits, but the cost cannot be I
determined until a check is
made of each department. 1
The increases will be effective i
as of June 21, he said. The in
creases will not affect employes
of state institutions, since those
employes were given similar pay
increases last week by the board
of control.
"The Increase," Aiken said,
"does not bring the salaries and
wages paid to' state employes to
a parity with those prevailing
in Washington or California, nor
does it equal the scales prevail
ing in many oi uregon s counties
or cities in some categories, be
cause funds are not available in
existing budgets. .
The rise aoes follow the
policy laid down by the legis
lature in the civil service law.
The increase will result in
deficits for several of the in
stitutions, but the overall total
appropriations for salaries and
wages for all departments and
institutions will not be ex
ceeded."

Big 4 Stall
Over Italian
Reparations
PARIS. June 19 (IP) The Big
Four foreign ministers, still
deadlocked on the touchy prob
lem of Italian reparations,
moved on today to less difficult
phases of the Italian peace treaty,
with several minor economic
clauses and the French-Italian
border question on the agenda.
As usual, the deputy foreign
ministers were directed to meet
before the session of their chiefs
to finish their reports on the
Bulgarian and Finnish treaties.
The deputies' reports on the
Italian and Romanian pacts al
ready have been submitted.
The pessimism which has en
veloped the current session of
the Britisn, t rench, Kussian and
U. S. foreign ministers since they
reconvened last Saturday deep
ened today following yesterday's
deadlock on reparations, which
saw the same negotiators re
peating virtually the same argu
ments which led them into blind
alleys a month ago.
Eased Slightly
The deadlock was eased only
slightly by Russia's offer yester
day to put the question of Yugo
slav, Albanian and Greek repara
tions claims which Soviet
Foreign Minister Vyacheslav M.
Molotov sets at $200,000,000
up to a full, 21-nation European
peace conference, which French
sources said might convene about
July 13.
Secretary of State James F.
Byrnes said this Soviet offer
"solved two-thirds of the repara
tions problem,'.' a British inform
ant declared, but diplomatic
sources felt that the most dif
ficult third Russia's own claim
for $100,000,000 still awaited
solution with no sign of com
promise. - Molotov refused to
submit Russia's reparations claim
to the 21-nation conference, ex
pressing belief that the foreign
ministers should settle it.
British Foreign Secretary
Ernest Bevin proposed that all
major powers abandon repara
tions claims on Italy, to assist
the new republican government
of that nation, but Molotov re
fused. Russia is the only one
of the major powers seeking
reparations from Italy.
Truman Meets
Munitions Men
WASHINGTON. June 19 (JP)
President Truman conferred to
day with the army and navy mu

other emergency.
Discussing the 15 minute con
ference later, Chairman Richard
R. Dupree told reporters that
"industrial preparedness is very
important for the assurance of
a lasting peace."
The board is charged with the
responsibility for stockpiling
materials and for keeping a con
stantly modernized program for
throwing the nation's industrial
machinery into action for the
government whenever necessary.
In a statement following the
meeting with the president, Du
pree said Mr. Truman "seemed
most interested in problems of
preparedness and understood
that certain things must be done
if we are to keep our nation
strong industrially."
These things, he said, must be
done "so that we may be equip
ped to meet the difficulties and
uncertainties of the future."
Secretary Wallace Pleads i
For 'Boom And Bust' Curbs
WASHINGTON, June 19 (JP)
Secretary of Commerce Wallace
pleaded today against letting
down "our guard against infla
tion" as senate-house OPA con
ferees met for their first session
to chart the future of price con
trol. Wallace said In a statement
that business can enjoy unpre
cedented prosperity in the years
just ahead "if we can avoid
rocking the economic boat right
now."
But he added that "to weaken
or destroy price and rent control
would be to ask for the same
kind of boom and bust that be
gan just about this time after
the last war."
The cabinet officer's state
ment was issued without ex
Dlanation. but its timing coincid
ed with the Initial meeting of
the Cauitol Hill conference com

that have drawn sharp criticism
