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

It we didn t allow the service

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

Besides, he says, "it would take

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.

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

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.
The ampere, unit of measure
ment in electricity, was named in
honor of Andre Marie Ampere,
French physicist and mathemati
cian who died in 18.16.

Atom City Near
Even Population
RICHLAND, Wash. 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. Also,
