The resolution claimed labor and the people "are being betrayed and sold out" by Republicans and that "even the Democratic Party is primarily party of the rich and wealthy." The council endorsed Republican Governor Snell for re. Democratic candidacy of David 1 I dltiC frf r. v-- C.

Support of the CIO Pnlilir.l Action Committee was urged for this year's elections because of the impossibility of launching a third party before that time. Secretary Stanley Earl labeled the GOP "the party of big business" and said that Truman should again return to the haberdashery he used to run. "A third party could be th hoi. ance of power," Earl said, "Until the Republicans and Democrats come out with a progressive program, we should dump there and -dump them now."

(Oregon's deer season opened Saturday and Mrs. Betty Haag met a mean one out on her Fairview Ranch. She wasn't hunting deer but a forked horn buck chased her into the house.

She did. election, but switched to the Revised Lumber Priority Plan Effective Nov. 1 WASHINGTON Housing Expediter Wilson Wyatt announced Saturday night that lumber priorities will be extended to cover sawmills, despite vigorous opposition from lumber producers. The action, effective November will enable lumber yards and other dealers to serve upon the sawmills the "HH" or housing priority which is haiyled to them by the builder of a veteran's home.

Agreement that such action -Is necessary "to assure that more lumber will flow Into housing" has been reached by the National Housing Agency and the Civilian Production Administration, Wy- au statement said. NHA officials have declared their belief that too much lumber, sorely needed in the housing drive, has been escaping into in dustrial and commercial uses through sales at the lumber mill Simultaneously. Wyatt refused for a second time the request of Governor Thomas Dewey of New York tor a ('super priority" or lumber and- other' which the governor termed essential to completion of that state's own emergency housing program. of the, Nov. -1 lumber priority order remain 1 to be worked out, Wyatt's announce ment said.

i One clause may provide, that lumber dealer may not pass priority orders on to the mill In quantities exceeding some percentage yet to be fixed of the amount of supplies in the dealer's yard In January, 1941. Spokesmen for the lumber industry last week-end voted overwhelmingly against the extended priority control. Lumbermen told Wyatt the plan was "unworkable" and that "every change in the rules hurts production Instead of helping it." Lumber dealers, on the other hand, approved the plan. At present, dealers are entitled to claim monthly 10 per cent of the lumber supply they had in January, 1942, or two carloads monthly, whichever Is greater. The new regulation would permit them to Increase that amount to cover any additional priority orders which they receive.

Another plan, now In operation, Wyatt said, will relax 'the requirement that lumber yards hold 80 per cent of their supplies Indefinitely for priority orders. This requirement may be dropped to 50 per cent Donaugh to Visit Eugene on State Tour Carl C.

While most cities of this size already, have for land subdivisions, the Eugene-Springfield area will bJ getting its first standard codes if plans drawn by Howard Buford, Eugene's city planning consultant, are accepted. While the manual of standards and procedures for subdivisions has been drawn up for this immediate region, it has been referred to the Lane County Engineer's office.

Sponsors hope that eventually the code may be adopted by cities throughout the county. The proposed code would regulate construction of all types of highways, streets, alleys, and roads. It would regulate the sizes of blocks and lots and provide for installation of water systems and fire plugs. In subdivisions within the city limits and within reasonable distance of a sanitary sewage disposal system, the subdivid-er would be required to install a complete sewerage system to be connected to the system already installed. 1 The code also would provide for sidewalks and pedestrian ways and for street signs 'atj each street intersection.

It would regulate installation of curbs and gutters. Buford's proposed code plated that; "subdivision of lands by many individuals a central guiding hand produces a maze of roads and a chaotic land pattern that will remain with us for all time. "Once the properly Is sub-' divided and buildings are constructed there are no means of correcting poor planning except through public financing at tremendous expense of razing the buildings and chang-. Ing the land pattern. "Since 1910 almost 50 per cent of Oregon's population has been living within cities or in urban areas.

Lane County in 1940 was 40 per cent urban in population, since that time urban development has greatly increased! This great Increase and the desire of so many landowners to subdivide within and adjacent to the cities make it imperative that we' carefully study and adhere to a master plan for development," i Eugene Youth Killed By Military Police ANTONIO, Tex.
