Quit Berlin
BERLIN, Jan. 19 (Jfi Russia is
expected to tound off sharply againtt
the near British - American bizonal
occupation Letup in Western Ger
many when the allied control coun
cil meets tomorrow, but officiala of
the two western powers predicted
an outright break with the Soviet
Union would be averted.
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.

rumor had a Klamath man dead

the "victim" walked Into the Pelican

In the meantime, police, friends
and even members of his family,
were checking on the report con
cerning Alvin Lewis, repairman
working for Reed Tractor company.
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. The rumor started when a man
called Mrs. Mattos and said "he hnd

a plane and how the story got
started remained a mystery today.

Continued Rent Controls ;
Asked By AM VET Director
WASHINGTON. 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.
"3. That the countries of Europe
as many as are willing band
themselves Into a political, econo
mic and defense union under ths
United Nations. This would Include
the lowering of trade barriers
among them.

Hitch-Hiking
Deer Takes Car
Ride For Fun
COOS BAY. Jan. 19 (JP) A
hitch-hiking buck deer is back in

Farmer Hurley Collver Is about

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
