Is now the aim of the Hollywood com munity club in its initiative pro gram. It was announced Wednes day night. Preparation of a proposed charter amendment to be submit ted to the voters of Salem through the Initiative, authorizing & bond issue of $1,200,000 for the acquisition of a municipally owned water system, was virtual ly completed, according to re ports, and petitions will be in cir culation not later than Friday morning. Change In Plans Caasea Borne Delay Following the city councils failure to pass the referendum measure, calling for an appraisal of the water system, over the mayor's veto Monday night, it was anticipated that the initiative would be invoked Immediately on that particular measure which called for a $7000 bond issue. Delay .In starting the initiative movement has been due to the re vision of plans and the fact that the new proposal required a con siderable amount of legal re search. Drafting of the new char ter amendment proposal has been In the hands of a group of attor ney Interested In the movement. Council Would Be Obliged to Proceed The plan as now outlined calls for a vote at the May 1 election on the $1,200,000 bond Issue and a provision that if the measure carries, the city council is obli gated to proceed at once with ne gotiation! for purchase or con demnation of the water utility, or construction of a new system. After that Is done, the opera tion of the municipally owned plant is to be in the hands of a water board which will be elected by the people and entirely Inde pendent of the city council. The board will consist of five mem bers, three elected for four year terms and two for two year terms In November of this year and sub sequent elections to be for four year terms so that two or three members of the board will be chosen every second year. Only One Election Now Made Necessary This plan eliminates the neces sity for two elections to bring about municipal ownership but it also entails a vigorous campaign of education between now and Mav 18. to show the voters that although they are asked to ap prove a large issue of bonds, this will in no way increase taxes, as the bonds are to be retired out of earnings of the water system. Figures available on the pres ent earnings of the Oregon-Wash inrton Water Service company on the Salem plant indicate that this would be possible without in crease In rates and) that within 10 years the city would own the water system debt free after which the rates could be materi ally reduced. Officers of the Hollywood club have been advised that the initia tive petitions will require only approximately 700 signatures, and they are confident of obtaining more than the required number In the few days remaining before the petitions must be filed.

This disobedience of Indian civil law was Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi and a faithful group of nationalists. Many were arrested. Salt manufacture in India Is controlled by the government ex clusively. The tax on salt Is less than one farthing a pound, but the revenue from this source last year was more than $250,000,- 000. Government Monopoly Strenuously Opposed The nationalist group, headed by Gandhi, "the holy one," Is among other things, opposing the government monopoly of salt. To make an Issue of the ques tion, Gandhi and his followers waded into the tidal marshes of the Gulf of Cambay near here and filled pots with the salt sea water.

April 9 (AP) The Oregonlan tomorrow will say it was reliably informed today that Nelson F. Macduff, su pervisor of the Cascade national forest, whose body was found last Saturday near McKenzie bridge. 55 miles east of Eugene, was shot from the right Instead of the left side of the head. The newspaper will say It was Informed to It as traces of powder were found in the brain. Federal and state authorities would neither confirm nor deny the report. The belief that Macduff was shot from the left side previously formed one of the principal argu ments of investigators who held to the theory that the supervisor was murdered. They claimed it was not logical for a right-handed man to shoot himself from the left side. Failure of Investigators previously to find powder marks upon the body also was used as an argument by supporters of the murder theory. Macduff disappeared from his office it McKenzie bridge late last Friday. When he failed to appear for dinner, searching par ties were organized and the body was found early Saturday in a thicket at the. side of a mountain trail . about one half mile from McKenzie bridge. One cartridge in the supervisor's pistol had been; discharged and the weapon lay under the left armpit of the recumbent body. Following discovery of the body. federal and Lane county author ities were Joined by Portland po lice officers in an investigation of the death. Authorities immediate ly split In their opinion as to whether the supervisor was mur dered, committed suicide or was accidentally killed. Macduff s body was shipped here last night from Eugene.
