Heating Plant Drive Still On The June 30 deadline for rais ing money to buy out the Klam ath Heating company plant came and went with not enough money promised the newly-formed Consumers Heating company to swing the deal, but L. Ortli Sisemore. representing the new concern, has arranged with D. O. Hood for a 10-day extension of tne option to buy. E. B. Hall, member of the committee trying to buy the cen tral heating utility, said today that the plant still could be pur chased if the necessary money Is subscribed by central heat users in the next lew days, but time that could be used for recondi tioning the plant is running out. A minimum of $100,000 is needed to buy the plant and put it into shape for operation next winter, but the committee is try ing to raise $125,000 in order to make further repairs and lay up a fuel stockpile. Purchase prlite of tho physical plant is S55,0J0. and it is under stood that the Klamath Heaucg company plans to shut down en tirely within a few weeks unless the sale is made. Only one boiler is in operation now, and Hall said today that it may have to oe closed down. The Consumers Heating com pany wants to take over the operation of the plant as soon as possible to work on the boilers and also work on the under ground steam pipes where much of the heat has been lost. That work must be done in the summer months. Hall said. "This is July 1, and if the work is not done by September the same loss of heat will occur next winter." By an agreement with Hood, firesident of the Klamath Heat ng company, the company's trucks are hauling fuel for a stockpile now and Hall hopes to have a three-months supply on hand by the start of winter if the purchase is finally made. Solicitors are out today con tacting central heat users for subscriptions. At the last count Friday, about S70.000 had been raised, and another count will be made tomorrow to see how the drive tor funds stands.

Big Damage Suffered By Eight More ABOARD USS APPALACH IAN OFF BIKINI, July 1 (Pi Three of the 73 old target war ships were sunk and eight other badly damaged in today's spec tacular test of the fourth atomic bomb, Vice Adm. W. H. P. Blan dy reported tonight as vessels of his task force moved into Bikini lagoon to survey damage. This was based on a cursory inspection. Many ships are burn ing. The total may be higher. Whether the atomic bomb will force navies of the world into new construction and battle tac tics remained the day's big ques tion. The bomb wrought a great deal of damage to ships anchor ed in the lagoon but the blast did not sink a capital ship, even (CaDliaat aa Pasa t, Calama 7 Market Prices Spiral Upward NEW YORK, July 1 (JP) I Prices of commodities for future delivery advanced the limit al lowed in a day's trade in many markets today, in a tempestuous response to the suspension of price controls. Cotton at New York shot up more than $4 a bale to the high est in 23 years before heavy profit taking cut the advance to around $2 in late trade. Trading was active. Similar gainsvwere posted in the New Orleans mar ket.

Cocoa opened up 1 cent a pound, also the limit. Trade for Immediate delivery in wholesale food, textile and metals markets came to a halt with dealers in complete con fusion over the problem of prices.

And Court JOAN McQUISTON Princasi , House May Take Prompt" Action; Senators Block WASHINGTON, July 1 (P The house began debate on a 20 day stop-gap revival of OPA today with a declaration by Rep, Sabath (Dill.) that some "un-Amcrlcan" merchant already are "gouging" the conxumer. The house appeared ready to act quickly on the proposal to restore price controls, but the outlook in the senate waa dark. - Sabath told the house that reports were coming in that food and rent are being increased in some areas as much as 33 to 50 per cent, . "This is un-American," he declared, "for these people to take advantage of this unfortunate situation to try to make a killing. I resent this unjustified gouging of the American people." But, he said, "if these ireedv people ininK mey can make a Killing, they are mistaken, for the consumers of this country, too, can call a strike." O'Danial Stops Senate Senator O'Daniel (D-Tex.), who conducted an eight hour filibuster against compromise OPA legislation last week, blocked Senator Wagner's (D N.Y.) effort to introduce a reso lution to restore the price con trol agency until July 20. democratic Leader Barkley (D-Ky.) and Speaker Rayburn predicted, after a conference with President Truman, that the house will vote a 20-day exten sion, pending framing of a more permanent bill. Any such house action would be meaningless, however, un less the senate went along too. Barkley held out no hope of early senate action. O'Daniel told reporters he will "object to everything that attempts to resurrect OPA." Barkley Hopeful Barkley said that instead of a temporary measure "I hope we can work out something ac ceptable that will extend the OPA for a year." He declined to predict how soon that could be done, if at all. OPA Administrator Paul Por ter told a news conference that "we will make every effort to reestablish June 30 ceilings, no matter how long it takes to get a statute. Early reports indicated rela tively few price advances as OPA ceilings were removed across the country, but rent promptly ihot up in many areas. House republicans drafted separate measure to reimpose OFA rent ceilings. They word ed it so that it would outlaw increases already announced in thCj wake, of OPA death. . Services Get Raise In Pay WASHINGTON, July 1 (& President Truman made July pay call sound $50,000,000 sweeter today, for officers and men of the armed forces. But he kept the fighting ser vices pretty much in suspense on the subject almost to the last minute. The chief executive waited un til late Saturday before he sign ed into law the bill which pro vides a higher wage scale for those in uniform, starting with 50 per cent boosts for privates and apprentice seamen and ta pering down to 10 per cent for top generals and admirals The suspense arose from the fact that if Mr. Truman had de layed until today, the new pay rates representing an estimated monthly increase of some $50, 000,000, would not have gone into effect until August The bill specified the raises were to be effective on the first day of the month after it was signed into law, so June 29 was un comfortably close to the dead line. Lawmakers estimate the pay increases will cost about $632, 000,000 annually, or roughly $50,000,000 monthly. . Another measure to get the president's signature was the "GI sweetheart bill" permitting foreign girls engaged to Amer ican war veterans to enter this country to be. married to their redeployed fiances. . - LAURA LOU HILL Prince!

Oregon Staff ' Told To Stay PORTLAND, July 1 (() . Oregon's OPA staff was told to day by McDannell Brown, dis trict director, to continue on the job, register price increase com plaints and not worry about sal ary, as the rest of the state won dered whether prices would go up in the first OPA-less day. State Senator Thomas R. Ma honey appealed to Governor anell to call a special legislative session to pass an Oregon OPA law and "prevent rapacious land lords raising rents." The Portland retail trade bu reau declared its opposition to price increases, and called an executive committee meeting to day to draft plans. "We want to be certain that consumers ara protected against inflation," said President George Hailing. Despite many business groups' appeal to hold the price line, and several retail stores' adver tisements that they would con trol prices, civic and business leaders agreed that many Oregon prices would rise. But they dif-. fered on the extent and speed of the change. .. ' HELEN COWEN Princess
