Morse Hits
Appeals For
Meat Ration
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 WV
Senator Morse (R-Ore.) today
criticized eastern members of con
gress who have suggested meat ra
tioning and he demanded minimum
government controls of corporate
profits and basic Industrial mate'
rials.
"They should not be allowed to
have those controls just to the us
ing of their industrial constituents, '
Morse said In a statement.
"If it is right to exercise mini
mum government controls in the
field of food supply, then it is right
to exercise minimum inflation con
trols in the field of industrial sup
plies which the consumer must
said he had "noted the
gieat concern of my good friend
Senator Flanders (R-VU over the
prospective shortage of meat sup
plies." Police Stat
"In fact I have noted that a con
siderable number of eastern sena
tors seem to be ready and willing
to place compulsory government
checks and controls upon the prod
ucts of the American farm but cry
about 'police state methods' when
anyone suggests some checks and
controls upon corporate profits and
allocation of the short supply of
basic Industrial materials."
"I wonder if some of these sena
tors are beginning to recognize,
none too soon, that the anti-inflation
bill which they voted for in
the special session of congress will
not be effective."
Morse said he did not want the
country to go back to the drastic
wartime controls."
"I think it Is perfectly clear that
It is the duty of congress to do
whatever can be done by way of
legislation in setting up minimum
government controls as a gun be
hind the door to be used only If
and when American business forces
fail to take the steps they should
take in checking inflation," the
senator said.
Anderson Predicts
Meat Ration
WASHINGTON. Jan. 3 JPh
Americans will be asking for meat
rationing by spring. Secretary of
Agriculture Anderson said last
night.
He told a radio audience (WOL
Mutual) that he does not know
whose job it would be to prepare
ration forms if congress passes such
a program, but he said the agricul
ture department is preparing to do
so if asked.
"I hope we won't have to ration
anything except meat." he said. "I
believe rationing of this important
food will have a strong effect on
other food commodities and it will
not be necessary to have any other
controls."
Portland Getting
Warmer Steadily
PORTLAND, Jan. 3 M The
weather bureau's annual report to
day made it clear that for 24 con
secutive years it's been warmer
than normal in Portland.
Now don't get hasty and sug
gest that a new "normal" is needed.
Weather men take long-range
views of these things and are not
about to jump to any conclusions
on a mere quarter-century experi
ence. Their records go back 72 years
here, and on that basis it was
cloudier, but warmer and dryer
than normal in 1947. The total
rainfall was 38.93 inches, 2.69 below
average. There were 218 cloudy
days, compared with the normal
178. The temperature average was
S5.8 degrees, compared with the
normal of 53.1.

or products, but always "enough
food for a nutritious diet."
Specifically, the food picture tor
1948. as outlined by Paul S. Willis,
president of the Grocery Manufac
turers of America, Inc., shows:
A meat supply of 146 pounds a
person, 10 pounds less Hum in 1947,
but 20 more than the 1935-39 aver
age however, meat will cost even
more titan 1947, the year of the dol
lar and higher steak.
Less milk in the first part ol
1948, but with prices fluctuating
less and touching neither the 1947
lows nor highs.
More cooking fats and oils (99
billion pounds, against 9.8 billion
pounds In 1947), but increasing ex
ports will keep prices high.
High prices lor everything de
riving from grain bread, cereals,
meat, poultry and eggs.
Freight car shortages continue to
hamper food movements, Willis
says, and the demand for cars
"worked to prevent proper clean
ing before loading so that 1947 was
the worst year in a long time tor
serious loss of food through product
infestation."
The beer can will probably dis
appear lor awhile, due to tin and
sheet steel shortages, C. R. Havig
horst, associate editor of Food In
dustries magazine, predicts.
The year will open with "meatless
Tuesdays" and "eggless Thursdays"
still on the docket, but "poultryless
Thursdays" fizzled quickly.
In spite of high prices, some
shortages and conservation cam
paigns, Americans ate more and
better in 1947 than ever before.
With national income expected to
oe as nign or higher in 1948. they
seem set to set still another record
around the dinner table.

Snow Fascinates
Train Passenaers
CASCADE SUMMIT. Jan. 3
Holiday train passengers appeared
to be fascinated by the heavy snow
at Cascade Summit and quite often
requested the conductors to get
them a handful of snow. Three
youthful coach occupants remained
up until the wee hours of the
morning to glimpse the snow
and then demanded an Icicle from
the eaves of the Southern Pacific
depot. After the Icicle was knocked
from Its perch and duly presented
to the young gentlemen, they con
tinued happily on their way.
Wet Snow Covers

CASCADE SUMMIT. Jan. 3
After quietly welcoming the new
year. Cascade Summit residents
are being steadily but thoroughly
snowed under. Recurring wet
snows have piled up an average of
10 Inches of packed snow in 38
hours. Present snow conditions are
not the most desirable for skiing
of any type, as the combined rain
and snow has resulted in a slushy
ground. However, Saturday and
Sunday skiers migrating to this
area should find skiing satisfac
tory and the ski tow in operation.
