To Test Validity of
Bond Action
New Objections to be Filed
By Attorney Key.es,
Announcement
An Intervener in the suit of
W. H. Henderson vs. the City of
Salem over 10,0 00 of proposed
water plant purchase bonds, ap
peared yesterday In F. G. Decke
bach Sr., who on Friday will file
an additional complaint contend
ing the city has no right to ex
pend the money for the water
plant.
Deckebach's attorney, Walter
Keyes, said yesterday that Mr.
Deckebach as a heavy taxpayer
and a citizen alway3 interested in
public affairs, felt it necessary
that the courts hear every phase
of the contested legality of the
city election May 16. On the val
idity of this election brings the
legality of the bond issue.
Keyes said his complaint would
bring up other points not raised
by Clifford Moynlhan, attorney
for Henderson in the Injunction
case brought against the Issuance
of the bonds.
Time of Filing
Petitions Issue
Keyes Indicated one of the
points which would bo stressed
was the fact the petition for the
election May 16 was filed after
the time prescribed by law.
Circuit Judge Hill now has the
disposal of Henderson's Injunc
tion before him. The Intervention
of Deckebach will undoubtedly
"considerably delay a decision.
While the city of Salem Is
- scheduled to make an offer for
the water plant here Friday, the
litigation would stop any com
pletion of the deal.
Should the circuit court throw
out the May IS election, no bonds
could be issued for the purchase
of the plant until a new election
could be held and the matter of
the purchase of the Oregon
Washington Water Service plant
here be again favorably voted
upon.

Miss Meliick, Director of
Leadership Training,
Visits in Salem
Problem of leadership Is the
biggest question confronting the
Girl Scout movement in the
western states, finds Miss Thelma
Melllck in charge of training
leaders for the Pacific coast re
gion, who arrived here yesterday
to spend two days meeting with
workers and troops here. Last
night she visited the two troops
at the Chemawa Indian school
and was enthusiastic about the
work being done by those girls,
organized for only a short per
iod. Growth of the Scout movement
for girls on the coast has been
tremendous. Miss Melllck, whose
headquarters are in San Francis
co, says. The first regional of
fice for Girl Scouta was opened
at San Francisco this fall.
Primary demand for forma
tion of scout troops comes from
young girls themselves, and not
from the older flk. Miss Meliick
finds. She has been in scout
work five years, returning to the
west recently from New York.
Oregon Troops
Making Progress
On the present trip she stop
ped in Eugene and Lebanon,
where there is much interest in
the Girl Scouts. Lebanon, though,
a small town, is giving splendid
cooperation to the troops there,
and she says it is no exaggeration
that the parents are as greatly
interested as the girls. Thanks
to donation of a resident there,
the Lebanon girls have a fine
camp site. Fifty-two girls are
Scouts there.
Miss Meliick was particularly
pleased, too, with the work in Eu
gene and the new camp which the
Lane county council has secured
in the- lake region near Florence,
on the Lane county coast.
She will meet this noon at the
Spa with the Joint committee of
the Legion Auxiliary and Busi
ness and Professional Women's
club, which sponsors the Girl
Scout troops in Salem.

Untrue; Complaining

Escaped From Institution
6 Times; Boot Used at
Father's Request
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 28
(AP) Governor A. W. Norblad
announced today he will call a
meeting of the state board of con
trol Wednesday to investigate al
leged abuse of boys at the state
training school.
Charges that cruelty was prac
ticed on Milton Levey, 15, of
Portland, as alleged in affidavits
filed in the Multnomah county
uvenile court Tuesday, while he
was an inmate of the state train
ing school for boys near Wood
burn, were denied in a statement
issued here by W. H. Baillie, sup
erintendent.
Baillie said that young Levey
has escaped from the school six
times, and had caused the insti
tution no end of trouble.
The records show that Levey
was first received at the state
training school December 13,
1929. He escaped from the in
stitution two days later, but was
captured after an absence of a
few hours and returned.
On March 28, 1930, he was
granted a leave of absence from
the school to accept a temporary
job. He failed to make good on
the job and was returned to the
school on the following day.
Levey again was granted a leave
of absence on April 1, 1930, to
accept a job in Portland. A par
ole followed on March 3. He was
returned to the school as a par
ole violator on May 7, after steal
ing a truck ano approximately
$2000 worth of merchandise from

ITALY'S STRENGTH
ROME, Oct. 28. (AP) Italy
today showed the world the
M'youthful strength" to which Pre
mier Mussolini referred in an ad
dress in which he ushered in the
eighth anniversary of fascism.
The black shirt militia, stirred
to patriotism all over the country
by the duce s'words "unmasking a
warlike Europe." marched in every
city and village.
Moving columns gave an inkling
of what Mussolini meant yester
day when he promised that two
years hence the tenth anniversary
of the faclst march on Rome would
witness the greatest military con
centration there in 3,000 years.
Scores of fighting planes droned
over the capital this afternoon,
while the chief of state here and
his ministers elsewhere officially
opened hundreds of public works
which fascism has built to give
employment and to develop the
country's economic strength.
The Vatican participated. Cardi
nal Sincero, standing beside the
dnce, blessed a military banner
which Mussolini presented to a
group of war wounded. It was the
first time a prince of the chnrch
has in such public manner identi
fied himself with fascism.

SEEK UKASE IN
FEES FOR TESTING
County Allowance Here for
Tuberculin Work Lowest
In State, Reported
A petition to the county court
to increase tho price for testing
cows for tuberculosis was started
which was held in the Chamber
of Commerce rooms Tuesday eve
ning. At present Marion county pays
10 cents per cow for the test and
each producer pays an additional
15 cents, thus allowing veterin
arians 25 cents per cow. Reports
at the meeting revealed that this
price Is the lowest in the state. In
Polk county the producer pays 15
cents per cow as in Marion but
the county pays an additional 25
cents, allowing the veterinarian
40 cents per cow. It was the opin
ion of the producers that this was
a fair price.
While no definite figure was
mentioned in the petition to the
court "a reasonable fee" was re
quested. Plans were made to cur
culate the petition among all
milk shippers who were not at
the meeting.
Will Not Solve
Present Crisis
It was pointed out that even
though the petition be granted
by the county court it would not
take care of the present emer
gency since all producers ship
ping milk into Salem must have
the cows tuberculin tested at
once In order to comply with "the
milk ordinance. Producers pres
ent reported in some cases their
herds had not been tested for
two years, due to the friction be

must have shot the man.
She was arrested 24 hours af
ter the man was shot Sunday
night, after a rifle believed to
have been the one which killed
him was found in a well 50 feet

nothing important which would
