One of our dcvlcei for keep. lnu urlre down has bevil pay mcnt of subsidies out of the treasury. Under our delicti II nonce system, theso subsidies have been added to t ho national debt and will tiave to bo puld Inter (both prlncliwl and inter' rut) In the form of taxes. These subsidies ended with OI'A. Presumably, they will be restored If OI'A la restored. r) cite only one Instance, tho hultnr auhaldv wbi IS CKNTS I'EK I'OUND. When you bought a pound of butter, you paid the OPA celling and tho treasury of the United Stole paid tho pro ducer 13 cents NUiit. ANOTHER thing to rcmcm her: Prices were rising under OPA There was every Indication that they would rise still more. (The accepted Washington estimate was that bv tho end of the year rnst of living would have risen 13 under OPA.) OOONER or later, we'll have 13 to end price controls If we are to retain the American sys tem.

Well, Washington now tells when (and what) to sow and when to reap und DREAD IS I1UT enough of OPA for today " at least. Its sour subject, and always leaves t bad taste In the mouth. There Is otner significant news afoot. KJIKOLAI NOVIKOr'F, NEW 1 Russian ambassador to the United Slates, says In an inter view In Washington today "There is no basis whatever for war between the Soviet un Ion and the United States, ' He adds: "I know this that tho people of tho United States da not want to wage a war against the Sovle Union or any other country. I know tho Soviet Union WILL NEVER start a war agulnst tho United States or anyone else, Ho concludes: "Thus the differences between "7 us MUST bo ironed out. I be lleve they WILL be ironed out.' 'T'lIAT conciliatory, reason statement Is in SHARP onablo con trsst to the criticism of tho Unl ted States and tho American people that has been coming lrom Moscow recently. There must bo a reason for tho change. We can at least be very. VERY sure that Mr. Novlkoff Isn't Just talking on his own hook. Llka other Russians In an officio! capacity, he says what Moscow tells him to say (as do diplomats generally). If Moscow is adopting a con dilatory attitude toward us, It is BIG NEWS. Bigger, even, than OPA. NO calamity could equal that of stumbling into war with Jtussia Special Cachets To Mark Air Mail Local stamp collectors will bo rewarded with special cachets and envelopes to commemorate me innuguarni regular air mall flight from Klamath tails Aug' ust I. Tho post office Is designing cachet stamp to bo used on sue. clal pictorial envelopes supplied by tho chamber of commerce, Tho aviation committee of the chamber met yesterday to make nlnna fnt an "Ail Hnu" fnlnhrn. tlon for August 1. the day Unl' ted Air Lines Is slated to start air passenger scrvlco stops in Klamath. Estnn Bolslgor Is making an effort to get several military air pi ncs In town for the day, and also civilian planes and pilots irom ncarny points are to bo in' vi lea to come in that day. Realty Men To Organize Rent Board A voluntary fair rent control board is to bu set up in Klumuth Kails by tho realty board In an effort to prevent rents hero from skyrocketing hi the ubsence of the UI'A and evcrv owner 01 rental properly will soon bo asked to submit to an etiulluble control based on apprulsal of the nrooerty rented. The decision wus mada to set up such uu organUullon at a meeting of Klamath realtors at noon today. Tho real estate men are vlr tuully unanimous In not wanting the return or UI'A, but also agree Ihut mushrooming rents will be a strong factor In bring ing the federal ugency back to lllit If It Is revived, For the local voluntary con trol bourd's purposes, the locul OI'A office will be asked to pro vide tho realtor with a list of property owners with rentals, una the amounts ol rents paid under OPA. Then the owners will be asked to agree to con trols by tho fair rents board and charge rents based on realty ap prulsal. Malntonanco Considered The board woidd also, in ad justing rents, take Into consider ation higher maintenance costs and attempt to work out Individ ual rents lulr to both owners and tenants. The realtors are pledged to hold the price line as far as pos sible, but Intend to make adjust ments where needed to bo fair to both owner and renter. Thla plan was put before the realty board by Tom Wallers, who said ho believed the volun tary control idea was workable If flu per cent of tho landlords in Klamath would agree to co operate, iinguo Dale, president of tho board of realtors, said that he thought 80 per cent would agree to a fulr plan. Some landlords, almost with out doubt, are going to take ad vantage of haying their tenants ovcr a barrel to s(uecie for the nisi ooiiar, out the great major ity will not chisel, the real cstote men believe. But landlords who do boost rents sky high there have been U'anlint aa rata S, C'alama I) Warning Given On Lost Fawns Tender hearted motorists, who pick up fawns along the high way and bring them In to Klam ath Falls, will run Into a little difficulty with tho law If they do not cease this practice, ac cording to Sgt. E. W. Tlchenor of the state police. Wllhln the past several days, six or seven young fawns have been picked up ond then state police are called for advice on what to do with the animals. In some cases, police have ordered the motorists to return the fawns to the point where they were found, and several have been turned over to the Mooro park caretaker. The park does not want or need any more deer ond in the future persons bringing the fawns to town will be charged with Illegal possession of deer, Tlchenor advised. "These folks arc soft hearted and sentimental, but it is a mis placed sympathy," Tlchenor said.1 "I n all coses tho docs are nearby, probably hiding in the brush, as the fawn lingers on the highway." Tlchenor said sportsmen and woodsrin know better than to pick up the animals but travel ers are moved at the sight of the fawns to all appearances lost In the woods. ACCIDENT FATAL SALEM, July 3 (!') Nancy Temple, Eugene, died In a hospi tal hero yesterday of Injuries suffered In a May 25 automobile accident at Independence. Eight other Oregon College of Education students were In jured In tho crash, two of them seriously. Former Chauffeur Avers He Saw Hitler In Deaih NUERNBERG, Germany, July 3 (!')

Tho chauffeur referred to Eva Braun, the bride of a few hours, us "Adolf Hitler's wife." When ho told how he saw the body of the fuehrer rolled In a blanket, with only tho booted legs hanging out, he said: "It wasn't tho some Adolf Hitler." He was impressed that tho blan ket used was too short. The courtroom was quiet as Kcmpka continued: "I can say he died tho 30th of April between 2 and 3 o'clock in tho afternoon.

Six remained dungerously ra dioactive toduy. Five, Including one modern cruiser, were sunk; nine others, Including two battleships, two cruisers ond a carrier, were "heavily damaged." Damage to small craft was not tallied. The army's official ground forces observer. MaJ. Gen An thony McAuliffc, concluded the new weapon could force any na tion, even the United Stotcs, to null a war although he be lieved It would be more effec tive agulnst cities and industries than military turgcts. Animals Still Lira Test animals left aboard the fleet survived the first blast, however; even those aboard the centrally-anchored Nevada still lived. But whether their ex posure to atomic rays would prove fatal within the next few days was to be determined. Sailors sold one goot on the Ne- vada's quarterdeck was "mighty sick. Similarly, eight white rats survived a ride directly through the atomic cloud Itself, bin they may die within three or four days, Col. R. E. Jnrmon, chief of the army's Wright field evalti' atlon board, reported. The rats wero the sole .passengers. In a B-17 drono. Centrally-anchored target ships still were emitting deadly rays today, said reports from Vice Adm. W. H. P. Blandys nogsnip. me nit. McKinicy. All vessels are expected to be ruled "safe" by tomorrow. The waters of the lagoon Itself were termed safe today, except In the immediate vicinity of the radial Ing ships. Russian Wants More Among scientists commenting today on Mondoy's test was Pro fessor Slmyon Alexandrov of the Soviet Union, who suggested an other experiment in the air be conducted before the underwa ter test is held. "The test wag conducted bril nanny and ttie explosion was obviously terrific," he said, "but the air blast was rather weak Aicxundrov said engineers "should be put to work to get a higher degree of efficiency from the bomb."

Highways Draw Holiday Throng Highways leading out of Klam ath Falls to the mountain and lake areas are seeing the heav iest traffic In many years as hundreds piled into cars for the first post-war Fourth of July weekend. Despite the fact the Fourth falls on Thursday, folks were determined to make it a long holiday. Many business houses and firms closed for the remainder of the week this afternoon and gave owners and employes alike, a vacation. The weatherman smiled on holiday makers and at 10:30 this morning tho thermometer stood at 65 and going strong. The weekend promise was for fair weather. ' Sporting goods stores had runs on fishing and camping equip ment earlier In the week but.it was fairly dead Wednesday as most of the vacationists had com pleted plans and were leaving town last night or early this morning. Many out-of-state Cali fornia licenses were issued and within a two-day period, one store reported more than 150 non-resident licenses were is sued. These people were headed for the Alturus, Redding districts and some were going as far as Lake Tahoe, Nevada. In the nearby areas, Lake o' the Woods, Diamond, Odell and Crescent lakes were to see a heavy week end influx, and Campbell and East lokcs to the north, as well as Paulina, were generously populated. The Chewaucon streams to the east were the goals of n lot of folks and the Bend and Eugene areas were the choice of others. Best fishing reports were com ing in here from the Lakeviow and Adel sectors but most folks didn't care where they went as long as they got away from town with their families and enjoyed a long outing. State police as well as city of- (Contlnuad en rasa 3, Column 1) Parking Banned All cars will be kept off Main street between 2nd and Spring Thursday morning un til after the parade, either by drivers parking somewhere else voluntarily or the cars being towed away by the police department, Police Chief Orville Hamilton said today. Ho and tho police depart ment have been authorized to keep the main stem free of cars for the parade, ond mo torists who park in that area Thursday morning will have to come to the police station and pay o towing charge to recover their cars. Hamilton has also warned hotels to tell their guests to park their cars somewhere else that morning, because they'll be hauled in just tho same as a resident.

Novikov, new Russian ambassador to this country, promised today that the Soviet union "will never start a war against the United States or any one else." And by the same token. ' he said he knew that the people of Profits Probe Involves Solon WASHINGTON, July 3 (IP) Maj. Gen. William N. Porter, test tified today Rep. May (D-Ky) chairman of the house military committee, thrice intervened with the army on Denau oi an Illinois munitions combine whose war profits are under congressional investigation. Porter, retired chief of the chemical warfare service, told the senate war investigating committee that May phoned him late in 1944 to protest cancella tion of a Powder Drum war con tract held by the Batavia Metal Products, Inc., of Batavia, 111., one of the closely linked 19 cor porations which Chairman Mead (D-NY) has criticized for "war profiteering." Committee Counsel George Moadcr promptly produced a partial transcript of that tele phone conversation which Por ter then read into the record. In it, May began by reading a letter from Col. R. A. Telow, chief of the facilities and inspec tion group in chemical warfare service, which referred to can cellation of the Batavia contract and transfer of Its work to "new producers." "I think that's crazy stuff," May was quoted as saying. Porter did not immediately specify the other occasions on which he said May intervened. However it previously had been disclosed by the transcript of telephone conversation on May 1, 1943, that May had interced ed to get army business for his "good friends in the combine.

But while he insisted that all differences between the two ma jor powers can be "ironed out," Novikov cautioned that solu tions for many world problems will require time and patience. The diplomat's views were made known in his first inter view with an American report er since he presented his am bassadorial letters to President Truman June 3, "There is no basis whatever for war between the Soviet Union and the United States," declared the stocky, 43-year-old Russian. None Want War "I know this that the people of the United States do not want to wage a war against the So viet Union or any other coun try. I know the Soviet Union will never start a war against the United States or anyone else. 'Thus, the differences be tween us must be ironed out. I believe they will be ironed out.' In emphasizing that solutions to all world problems cannot be expected overnight, Novikov said: "Europe is now in its most difficult period the transition irom war to peace. rroblemsin evitably will be difficult." Novikov emphatically reject ed any idea that serious clashes of interest between Russia and the United States are "inevi table, or "necessary." The re porter had used those words in framing one of six written ques tions submitted In advance of yesterday's interview. The ambassador said good faith by both nations, built by "practical actions and deeds" in carrying out mutual obligations, win prevent sucn clashes.

Bulletin WASHINGTON, July 3 P) President Truman today signed into law tha Hobbs' bill making unions subject to tha national anti-racketeering law. Control Bills Considered ; By Senators Rising livestock prices and tho loss of government subsidies -brought higher prices to tha meat, milk and butter buying public today as the nation' wholesale markets steadied un der a growing conviction thot OPA will be restored with roll back to June 30 ceilings. ., Two measures to revive pric controls temporarily reached . the senate banking committee in Washington after U. S. Sen. W. Lee O'Daniel (D-Tex.) abandon ed his stalling tactics. The housa already has approved a 20-day extension of the OPA. The first shipments of buttelf to reach New York City and Boston markets since OPA's end were released today to retail 13 to 15 cents above the OPA ceiU lng. The government subsidy on butter was 15 cents a pound. Meat prices were up in many areas as much as 20 cents a pound. Milk was boosted three cents a quart in New Hamp shire and a milk shortage waa threatened in the metropolitan New York area unless the price is raised there. , j Markets Loaded " Abnormally large shipment of cattle and hogs again were attracted to livestock markets but prices seemed to have found their own ceiling, at least tern porarily. The $22 high for cattle at St. Louis was a new top for that market although it was 50 cents under the $22.50 maximum paid yesterday at Chicago. Hogs were moving at slightly higher prices though they still were under the $18.50 top reach ed Monday at Chicago, highest since 1919. . Large packers continued to steer clear of the trade, observ ers said, waiting to see if OPA will be revived. The same caution was reflect? ed in grain markets with oat fu tures dipping more than a cent a bushel at times in Chicago, under a wave of selling. . -i From around the nation came a crescendo of complaints from, tenants who told of extra-high, rents imposed by landlords, but there were indications that most renters had received, no notice of 'increases. Several states and cities acted to put ceilings on rentals, while others studied the matter. Bilbo Clings To Slim Lead By Tha Associated Press . Senator - Theodore G. Bilbo clung to a slim majority today of . all votes so far counted in his race for a third term, after a stormy Mississippi primary in which some negroes participated despite his vigorous protests. Missing precincts in 58 coun ties would determine whether " Bilbo obtained more votes than his four opponents combined yesterday and won renomination on the democratic ticket in one party Mississippi. Lack of a majority would re quire Bilbo to face a run-off with the No. 2 man in the field, Tom Q. Ellis, state supreme court clerk. Ellis had not conceded defeat. Several thousand negroes sought to qualify as voters, rely ing on a supreme court decision that members of their race could do so in primary elections and a pledge by Attorney General Clark to protect their rights. ; Many tailed because election officials held they did not meet the poll tax requirement or prove they were democrats. There were estimates that per haps 1000 actually cast ballots despite Bilbos call for every red blooded Anglo-Saxon in Mis sissippi to use whatever means are necessary" to keep negroes trom the polls. . 1 No violence against negroes was reported. Fat Man's Race ; Features Beatty Klamath Falls is not the only Klamath county rodeo, with nearby Beatty celebrating again on July 4 and 5. One of the fea tures of the show is the fat man's race in which Toy Brown, full blood Klamath, has challenged all bonafide residents of Klam ath, Lake and Modoc counties. The 60-yard race will be run off in this manner, according to Jesse Kirk, Toy's manager: tha contestants will run 30 yards, pick up chaps and spurs, put them on, and return to the start ing place. This race is to be run on the Fourth only. Toy weighs in at 220 pounds. There is a $5 entrance fee with a purse added by the Beatty rodeo committee, winner take all. Toy, during a recent visit to Klamath Falls, said the only man he was afraid of was Howell Tucker of Lake county.
