Capitol Planners, Salem Council Fight Over Zone Size By PAUL W. HRVEY JR. SALEM. UP) The verbal slugfest between the State Capit 1 Planning commission and Salem's city .ounr is over the sir. of the future capitol zone, and over what buildings should be permitted in e Dear by areas. The capitol commission says the city council doesn't care about whether the state has a beautiful site for the state buildings. And it says the council doesn't realize that the whole state has an inter est in its buildings. The city council come back with a counter-punch that the capitol commission has ideas that are im practical and too ambitious, and that the commission's policies would wipe out scores of property owners. The capitol zone now extends from the capitol north to Center street, which is two blocks away. It is two bloeks wide, and includes the capitol, state library building, new state public service building, and the highway building, con struction of which has just begun. Occupied By Church In this area, there still is one block, occupied by residents and a big church.. This block is a site : for a future state building, but this building isn't even planned yet. The capitol commission says this ione must be extended north an other four blocks to D street to take care of future development. But the legislature hasn't appro priated any money yet to buy property in this proposed addition, which contains some of the nicest homes in Salem. It's tough on property owners in this proposed addition. No one wants to buy their property. The state can't because there's no money on hand to do it. And no private party wants it if the state might eventually take it over. The city council says it would take 100 years before state build ings woulr1 fill up the proposed ad dition to the capitol jone. Council Ignores Requests The council won't pay any atten tion to capitol planning commission requests to keep commercial de velopment out of this area. The council's position is that it's just a dream until the legislature en dorses the idea by providing the cash to buy up the property. The squabble started a few months ago when Robert Coates of Portland decided to build an apartment house just north of Cen ter street. His lot was in the pro posed addition to the capitol zone. The capitol commission hit the ceiling when it heard about it. The commission demanded that the city council refuse to issue Coates a building permit. The council gave him a permit. This finally was solved when t.e state emergency board bought the Coates lot, and he got a new lot, a block east of the present capitol zone. New fuel was added to the fire a few weeks ago when George Rhoten, a Salem attorney said he would build a service station on a corner lot across the street from the new public service building. This site :s just across the street from tlu present capitol zone, and is not in the proposed addition to the zone. Commission Disapproves The capitol planning commission, wanting commercial development kept out of the area adjoining the zone, disapproved of the service station. But the city council ap proved It, and it's going to be built. Dave O'Hara. veteran citv coun cilman, said "The council doesn't Have Yovr Fur HoHanderized and Stored at MILLER'S Your Car NEEDS Seat Covers! If you've a new cor, with new upholstery, you'll want to keep it that way. If your car ii older, you may want to dress up the interior. Our stoin resittant, easy-to-clean seat covert are the an swer.

The Rhoten property, located on busy. noisy Capitol street, .sn't good for anything but a service station. It we didn t allow the service station to be built, Rhoten would lose his investment." O'Ha a pointed out that Salem's huge new shopping center which includes a large chain department store, a drug store, a supermarket and -nany small shops is located only across the street to the north, nd also is adjacent to the capitol zone. U'Hara says the service si a tion wouldn t detract from the capitol buildings any more than all those buildings. The capitol comm'ssion wants this so-called "fringe area" around capitol zone restricted to pub lic buildings, like churches and schools. But, O'Hara said,' the council feels it is unfair to have such a restrictio when the state won't fiay the property owners for their osses A value, or buy the property trom tne private owners. Besides, he says, "it would take all the religious denominations in the United States to fill ud the Sidener Renews Tiff With Lewis CANTON. 111. (JP) Llovd H. Sidener has renewed bis fight with John L. Lewis and the United Mine Workers because, he said, threats were made against his life Thurs day night. The Canton coal miner, who settled his scrap with Lewis and the union in writing, said he will ask the FBI to investigate the threats made to bis family in several telephone calls. He said the calls were made by a woman and came a few hours after he had signed a formal paper settling a complaint he had made against the UMW chmging unfair labor practices. Sidener. former Dresident of the UMW local 7455 at Canton, said tnat Decause ol the threats he sent a telegram to Robert M. Denham general counsel of the National Labor Relations board, requesting mat uie Doara not approve Thurs day's settlement. He said he asked Denham to reinstate the charges he originally filed against Lewis and the UMW. Sidener said the threats received by his wife, Argyle, and his brother, Philip, violated an agree- menu petween nimseii and the union. He said Lewis' attorney, Harrison Combs, had promised the NLRB in Chicago that if tha case was settled Sidener's fellow workers would "bend over back wards to be nice to him." Sidener, who had returned to work at the Buckheart coal mine Wednesday, said his fellow workers "have hardly recognized me." Sidener said he reported tha telephone calls to the sheriff's office but an unidentified deputy sheriff told him the calls were from a "crank." Sidener said he did not agree. hiaener was ousted from his union post, fined $50,000 and thrown out of work on March 6. one day after the nationwide UMW strike ended. He had attempted to lead a back-to-work movement during the strike. He denied UMW charges he had attempted to organize a rival mine union. In the agreement, the union rescinded the fine, restored Sid ener's job and agreed with the BucKneart coal mine that he re' ceive $2,200 for time lost from work. The documents signed by Sidener and a union representative must be approved by the NLRB in Washington before becoming om cial. Red Youths Break Up German Demo Meeting BUDAPEST, Hungary.

Delinquency Of Juveniles Not New Problem, Dr. John Haskins Explains The juvenile delinquency "fad" of the last six or seven years is not a, new thing, as many people may think, the Rotary club of Roseburg was told at the Thursday noon meeting in the Hotel Umpqua. Dr. John Haskins, manager of the Veterans hospital, said that juvenile delinquency, far from be ing new, was as prevalent after the Revolutionary and Civil wars as it has been after World War II. A Boston paper, soon after the Revolutionary war, reports the ac tivities of youthful bands who roamed the streets and got into trouble. They, too, were victims of the "war period." Dr. Haskins. in explaining why youngsters get into trouble, told of the main needs for preventing juvenile delinquency. Police offi cers want to know what the juve nile has done and what they must do about it, under the law. But so - Eccard Von Manteuffel, who wants west Germany to be included in western Europe's defense sys tem, and German sovereignty re cognized. One policeman was injured when the 30 Communist youths started the melee. Von Manteuffel walked out. Police ordered him not to speak, to prevent further indicents. the psychiatrist wants to know the feelings of the juvenile toward the wrong he has done, what can be done to keep it from happening again, the doctor said. Juvenile Nttdt Listed The needs for preventing juve niles from getting into trouble are mainly these: He needs a home and guidance while he is growing up. He needs parents who can give proper guidance and a feel ing of security. He needs "an ade quate adult to imitate, lean upon, and pattern his life after. In a study of 200 youths by Dr. Has kins, he found that 75 percent had come from broken homes and id percent of the remainder from homes that "might as well have been broken." If the youth does not have the proper home life, he tends to re act instinctively, somewhat like an animal, Dr. Haskins stated: Some run away; some fight and show hostility toward the parents and the situation; some act like a rah ROSEBURG, OREGON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 19S0 bit or quail and freeze up, merely imitating the environment. Disclaiming that juvenile delin quents are usually mental cases, the doctor pointed out that the I.Q. of the girls at Hillcrest school is higher than that of girls in the average high school. Praising the work of the Boy Scouts, Dr. Haskins concluded by pointing out the negligible number of boys involved in offenses who were members of the Boy Scouts before getting into trouble. The Boy Scout organization and other means of developing the idea of "team play" greatly aid the youth susceptible to delinquency, he said. Mike Gomes Entertains A surprise part of the Rotary program, even to the entertainer, was some ukulele numbers and songs by Rotarian M. M. (Mike) Gomes. The songs were sung in native Hawaiian. The ukulele num bers, very well received by the audience, would have been better had he had his own ukelele. Gomes said. Jim Powers, program chair man, surprised Gomes by pulling out a ukulele and announcing that Gomes would play it. Bill Van Horn graduated to the Rotary "alumni" list when he gave the final report of the school year as student Rotarian. Members were reminded to be sure and attend next Thursday, in order to make it a 100-percent-attendance day.

UP) The addition of about 800 families to the town of Richland this year may nearly complete the town's permanent population, tha new atomic project manager says. David F. Shaw, who took over Thursday as the manager here for he Atomic Energy commission, estimated this would put the per manent population at about 25,000. Employment rolls of the AEC and the General Electric now car ry about 8,000, he said. Additions will be made this year as new plant units are completed in the Plutonium producing sections. Construction crews this summer will reach a peak of 6,500 men, he predicted. This is about half the figure estimated a year ago. Shaw said a similar construction peak could be expected in the spring of 1951. From then on, he said, construction is expected to taper off and end late in 1952 or early in 1953. He explained the employment re vision was made through a desire to spread out the construction hir ing to prevent unusual booms.
