Ickes Demands Election
OF Fighting Liberals
BY the Assoeioted Press

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 26.-Harold
L. Ickes said last night the power
interests" will stifle industry in the
State of Washington unless fighting
liberals" are elected to Congress.
This economic war cannot be
won" he declared, unless in this
year you elect to the Senate and
to the House of Representatives
such men as Senator Mitchell and
Representatives De Lacy, Coffee,
jackson and Savage who have
dedicated their lives to the fight
against monopoly.
"If this year you falter and,
through apathy or for other reasons,
permit the lackies of monopoly to
unseat these valiant fighters for the
Roosevelt program then you face
the danger of losing all that you
have won during the years under the
New Deal.
Again I raise the question of why
Senator Wayne Morse in this cam
paign is wearing the uniform OF
reaction while in Washington he
poses as a champion of liberalism. d

should be fully responsible for all
care given to q single patient. The

Receipts Up OnLivestock
By United Press

The shipment of livestock to mar keting centers continued heavy to- day.
 Total shipments were expected to be among the largest since the two month price control holiday last Summer.
 Congestion was reported at some of the bgi cornbelt livestock ter minals as truckloads of animals moved toward the markets.
 Estimated receipts at the nations 12 major markets today included 88,000 head of cattle, 10000 calves, 112,000 hogs and 64,300 sheep.
 The Department of Agriculture at Chicago said hog marketings again were well above expectations.
 Receipts 8 week ago at the 12 major markets included only 21,578 cattle, 8,947 calves, only 6,882 hogs and 47,964 sheep.
 At Chicago alone an estimated to- toal of 35,000 hogs, including ship ments direct to packers, were re- ceived today.
 The early price trend on hogs was lower. At Chicago, opening trade was slow. Early sales of good and choice 180-pound hogs were g to $4 lower than yesterday. The early top was $23, compared with the earlier all-time high of $27.50.

Cat Thief Steals Gems 
 Duchess Jewels
 Valued at Million
 Dollars in 1914

London, Oct. 17-(UP)-JewelS be- longing to the Duchess of Windsor, whose collection was valued at $1,OO0,O in 1914, were stolen by 8 daring "cat burglar" from suburban Ednam Lodge while special agents guarded the area, it was disclosed to- day.
 The theft occurred yesterday while the Duchess was entertaining nobil- ity in the drawing room of the lodge, where she and the Duke are vaca- tioning. All police in the vicinity were warned last Friday that burg lars might try to steal the fabulous Windsor collection, it was reported. Special agents had been stationed around the lodge for protection. Po- lice were unable to explain how the thief gained entrance to the grounds, apparently in broad daylight.
 Detectives said the Duchess dis covered the theft yesterday when she went to her room to dress for dinner. The thief climbed a drain pipe and entered through window Ednam Lodge is situated at Sun ningdale, 18 miles outside London.
 Scotland Yard investigators were sent to the suburban lodge to aid local police in the search. Roads leading to the area were cordoned off yesterday. Agents of the yard were seen swarming over the roof of the lodge. Hedges surrounding the building were searched thoroughly.
 The exact value of the stolen gems could not be assessed immediately, but the Duchess collection was val ued at $1, 100000 in 1914. Most of the jewels were heirlooms and would be difficult to sell on the open market
 The Duchess reportedly kept the jewels in one case, but it could not be learned whether her entire col- lection was in the case at the time of the theft.
 The collection was said to include complete sets of sapphires, rubies, emeralds, diamonds, and other prec- iouS stones. One of the most valu- able pieces was the diamond tiara she wore at her wedding II years ago when she married the former British monarch.
 The tiara consisted of four large center diamonds and three upright fingers of smaller diamondS-all set in platinum.

OPA Jolts Landlords Hopes
 To ReIax RentCurbs
 Many Food Items
 Are Decontrolfed
 In New Speedup

Washington, Oct. IT -A (UP) - An OPA ealesma1i said today the agency planned no increase in rent ceilings.
 He pointed to a report hy OPA's analysts branch that despite higher costs, land lords generally were making substantially" more money than before the war.
 Far from relaxing rent con- trols under President Truman's new decontrol speedup policy, OPA anticipates that many new areas may be brought under ceilings. Realtors Want 15% Increase
 These disclosures came on the heels of warning by group of prominent Senators that they would seek to legislate rent increase if OPA fails to give landlords relief by time Congress meets in Janu- ary. Real estate interests want an immediate Is percent rent increase and end to all controls by March. Meanwhile, OPA Chief Paul Porter said the agency would start sending pink discharge slips to many employees in the food price
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-10-17

and enforcement branches begine ming Nov. 1-indicating he expects remaining foods under price ceil- ings to be deconstrolled soon.
 In message to OPA employes, Porter said he was DO happier than President Truman at the order to decontrol meat.
 ''Not one of the choices before him would have been wholly satis- factory" he said. There is no need for me to repeat the reasons be- hind his decision"
 Many Items DecontrOlIed
 In the first decontrol action under the Presidents speedup, OPA re- moved price controls from Oleo- margarine, shortening, mayonnaise, salad dressing, cooking and salad oils.
 Also decontrolled were soybeans and f1axseed, all by-product feeds and mixed feeds, corn oil, cotton seed oil, peanut oil and soybean oil, corn bran, cottonseed hulls, brewers and distillers dried prod- ucts, fish meal and scrap, hominy feeds, rice milling y-products, bar ley feed products, linseed products, oat mill by-products, peanut prod ucts, and soybean products, and wheat millfeeds.
 The Price Decontrol Board said it will not put back price ceilings on milk, butter, cheese, and other dairy products although prices have risen "unreaSonably"
 Such action, the board said, would be inconsistent with the acceler- ated decontrol program announced by the President" The board pointed out that milk production will soon begin to increase while heavier livestock slaughter will bring down prices of dairy products. Hides and Leather Curbed
 The OPA announced, however, that hides and leather will remain under control despite the lifting of livestock ceilings.
 On the rent front, 1t was learned. OPA is prepared to buck rising de- mands for rent increases on the basis of survey covering the cities. In a formal report on the survey OPA's analysis said:
 Landlords of apartment houses in pressure areas have increased their net operating income by 25 percent since 1889. Owners of small structures have benefited by a 4S' percent increase in net operating income.
 Present indications are that some decline in net operating in- come may occur in 1946, but it will remain substantially above pre-war | levels"
