PAGE TWO She OREGON STATESMAN, Salem. Oregon; Tuesday Morning. December 13, 1932 PUBLIC HEARING ON POLICE SET Hartwell and Others Given Opportunity to Tell What They Know (Continued from pas 1) par, that on offieer had accepted $8 In payment tor a gallon of liquor which ha Barer delivered, and that the chief of pollea baa hilled the countr court for aer Ticea of city offlcera on calls out aide the city limit but never turn ed over any of the money to the city treasury. Chief Minto has repeatedly de clined to comment on the charges. The hearing is expected to bring to light certain affidavits which Hartwell offered the city council, then withdrew before thy were read publicly or re?ched the hands of the aldermen themselves. Charges First Made Before Ministers Hartwell, prior to the city elec tion, November S, presented some of his charges !efore the Salem Ministerial association. That body took no action, believing the charges were last minute cam paign propaganda against police civil service. Hartwell later was engaged in a fistic altercation by city policeman in front of the police station. Dr. Olson was appointed chair man of tte investigating commit tee by Mayor P. M. Gregory last week when Alderman H. H Van- devort resigned, giving a his rea son that he was related to one of the police officers. Alderman Dav id O'Hara waq appointed to the new special committee. Dr. Olson and Mr. Needham were members "Food should be considered carefully when times are nard. declared Dr. Frederick D. Striek er, secretary of the state board of health, in a statement issued yes terday. "Nothing makes a greater difference in our health than the food we eat. "Milk Is tho best food for chil dren,'' Dr. Strieker points out. "They cannot do well without milk. Milk make3 them grow. Plain simple food is best. Meals should be well cooked and served at regular hours. There are five necessary kinds of food: 1, milk, butter, cheese; 2, fruit; 3, vegeta hies-4. bread and cereal; 5. meat, ' finh.' eggs and fats. "The very least a child can do v ith In a day is one pint of milk, one vegetable or fruit, uncooked if possible, plenty of bread, butter and cereal, some meat or fish, or epgp, and, If under two years of age, two teaspoonfuls of cod liver oil," he goes on. Even if our money for food is so small that it takes one-third of it to buy a pint of milk daily for each child, wo must buy milk. Children cannot grow and keep well without it. "Loss of food this year can not be made up next year. The chil dren suffer for such loss. Every thing possible must be done to see that our own children and other children get the food they need to make them grow and keep them well." ' PROPERTY TAX IDES Approximately 9000 members ef the East Side Taxpayers' league, of Portland, are opposed to any additional tax levy on real property, officers of the organiza tion advised Governor Meier to day. "Our organization has instruct ed us to call to your attention the need at this time for utmost ec onomy in the operation of all state departments," the protest read. "The existing emergency demands drastic reductions in all salaries, especially those In the higher brackets. Present economic con ditions do not warrant any ex penditures which are not for basic government. 'Should It become absolutely necessary to raise additional rev enue after all possible economies have been effected, then some form of taxation other than a levy on real property must be adopt ed." The protest was signed by J. R. Widner, president. LOSES Oil APPEAL (Continued from cms t ) Jury provided it is requested by warden of the state prison. The complaints against her charged the killing of Mrs. Leroi In October, 1931. She admitted, however, that she had killed Mrs. Samuelson also, but Insisted that she shot both In self defense. She remained in hiding nearly a week In Los Angeles after the trunk and sultcas were opened at a baggage room.

"New projects we shall have to defer until taxpayers are bet ter able to pay for them. Main tenance we shall have to con- tinue under the best makeshifts ot economy."

E HT First arrest of a truck driver for operating his vehicle In an ex cessively noisy manner was made by city police Sunday night when C. E. Kertson ot Oregon City was halted and ordered to appear be fore Municipal Judge Mark Poul sen on a charge of "backfiring a truck". This arrest is understood to be the first of a drive city police ex pect to make on truck drivers making needless noise especially on the South Commercial tTeet hills. Chief Frank Minto recently ordered night prowl officers to stop all drivers caught backfiring their vehicles in coasting down the grades under compression. The order grew out of 'com plaints made last fall to the city council by residents of South Com mercial street who sought to have the freight trucks rerouted over the South 12th street cutoff. Trucking representatives then promised to order the drivers to operate their trucks as quietly as possible.

T IS A lad, about the size of a 14- year-old but with an older-appear ing face, la reported to have been victimizing several local business houses recently. At each place, apparently, he asks the privilege of using the washroom, and at several estab lishments he has merely been shown Its location and no further attention has been paid to him. In such Instances several thefts have been reported. All of the boy's visits have been to places where employes change their clothing before going to work, It being his theory, suppos edly, that money will be left la the street clothing a theory which has worked out In several cases. After employing this scheme Saturday, the lad attempted to pursue It Monday but In at least one case the persons in charge were forewarned and sent him on his way. $2500 Damage is Done by Fire in Hotel at Dallas DALLAS.
