These officiala and Germans tbemielvii wondered, however, whether the Russian occupation commander, Marshal Vaasily Soko lovsky, would demand that the U. 8.. Brita' . and France pull out of Ber lin, on the ground that the new bi zonal letup nullifies four-power agreements for control of Germany. The council hag not met since the London conference of foreign ministers broke up. Subsequently the U. S. and Britain established their new joint governmental setup In Western Germany, giving Ger mans more power In the government of the economically merged zones. Bitter Attack The esublishment of bizonal has been attacked bitterly by the Sov iet press, which suggested that the Western allies would be asked to withdraw their forces from Berlin. Sokolorsky hi reported Just back from an extended visit to Moscow and there hat been considerable speculation at to whether he re ceived new policy orders from the Kremlin. Suggestion that tbe Russians might try to take aver sole control of Berlin hat spread alarm among the 2.000,000 Germans living in the western occupied zones of the Ger man capital I However, none, of the Western powers' officials here expects the Russians to make any open move to force them from Berlin. All three f ers have announced their deter mination to stay. Plane Crash Story Folds While friends were checking on reports of a plane crash In which rumor had a Klamath man dead and several others In the hospital, the "victim" walked Into the Pelican hotel late yesterday and said "noth ing to it."

The crash was said to have occurred near Mt, Shasta, Calif. Mrj and Mrs. Jack Mattos, who operate the Pelican hotel, were sending out feelers concerning the accident, checking various airports and hospitals, when Lewis walked in.

Jan. 19 llPh-Ray Sawyer, legislative director of AMVETS. said today 16.000.000 tenants in this country "need the continued protection of rent con trol until the construction of new rental housing units hns caught up with the demand." Sawyer told a senate banking subcommittee the present federal rent control law should be extended for a year beyond February 29, the date It is now scheduled to expire. Because building costs are so high, he testified, the amount of new con struction designed tor rent has fall en to about 10 per cent of the total, as compared with a prewar 20 per cent, "Thus at a time of unprecedented demand, with 15.000.000 veterans re turning from war, the supply of new rental housing has been drying up," Sawyer said. He urged also that congress, if !t extends the rent control law, apply some kind of controls over approxi mately 1,600,000 rental units for which voluntary leases boosting the rent 15 per cent were signed under the present law. Such leases, to extend through this year, were provided in the law, which became effective last July 1. The units covered, however, art no Rollback In Food Price Major Item WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 (! Bernard M. Baruch laid before sen ators today an 11-point program for "peace - waging" Including a "roll back" In food prices, no wage raltel and no tax cult for two year. Barurh was a witnest before the senate foreign relations committee on the Marshall plan for multi-bU- llon dollar aid to Europe, He en dorsed It, but told the senators: "Dollars alone will not save Europe nor win the peace." Baruch then proposed his domettlo program, saying, "The time has com to organize to mobilize for peace. It cannot be put off safely any long er. The time for courage and decision Is here." These are the major things he pro posed In that "mobilization": 1. Reduce major food prlcea "In exchange for guaranteeing farmers an assured price for their crops for the next three years." 2. Stabilize wages In return tor tills rollback. 3. Restore the excess profits tax at 50 per cent of wartime levels. 4. Continue rent control "with provision only for clearly Justi fiable Increases." f. Postpone tax reduction for two years and then cut levies gradual ly over a five-year period. 6. Put off all less essential state and federal public works, giving priority to "Increasing production, housing, schools, hospitals and other essential needs." 7. Set up a capital Issues com mission to review all public and private projects "with a view to deterring less essential projects." 5. Establish a congressional "digging committee" which would cut government costs. 9. Increase production. Barneh. an adviser to presidents In two World Wan, said the situa tion "reqoiret a bold, resolute, cos eerted attack against the clawing fears of Inflation and another war." His tax and farm price rollback pre posala were only sob-beads for tut -anti-inflation point of his general program. y The broader program embraced: "L The United States Stand ready to bay all non-perlthable raw materials produced anywhere and by anyone In the world for , the next five years, and which can- 1 not find normal commercial mar kets ... .., "2 Extend the president's pres-. ent tariff authority for the next three years.

Jan. 19 (JP) A hitch-hiking buck deer is back in his forest haunts today, probably as puzzled by the ways of man as Farmer Hurley Collver Is about the antics of the animal. Collver told this story today: While driving on a rural road to town he saw a deer and stop ped the car. Almost before he knew what happened the deer had Jumped through nn open car door and was In the back seat of the sedan, waiting patiently until the surprised farmer recovered. Finally, Collver decided to drive on and the deer remained, appar ently enjoying the Jaunt and showing no alnrm when they neared town and drove to state police. When Collver asked police if he had made a legal catch the officers suggested the deer had best be returned to the hills. So Collver drove back. Stopped and waited. After waiting what he considered a polite amount of time for the deer to move along, he nudged the buck. It took a hefty tug and boost to put the animal out of the car again. longer subject to federal controls If the tenant who signed the lease moves out. Sawyer said this provision will act as an Inducement to some land lords to evict present tenants so that they can Increase rentals without restriction. It may be three weeks before con. grcss makes Its decision on exten sion of the controls. Senator Cain (R-Wash.), chair man of the subcommittee, told re porters ha looks for the hearings to run until month's end. Then, he said, he hopes to lay a compromise bill before the full com mittee by February 6. Action by that committee will be required be fore the issue can be-sent to the senate floor for debate. Rent hearings have not yet start ed on the other side of ths capital, but Cain said he and Chairman Wolcott (R-Mlch.) of the house banking committee will discuss ths subject this week. The administration has asked that controls be extended until March 30, 1950. Housing Expediter Tight E. Woods, who made the proposal to Cain's subcommittee Saturday, alto called for strengthening tht en forcement provisions of tht present law.
