By STEPHEN C. MERGLER
A seven-man council for legis
lation and establishment of policy
and a council-appointed city man
ager for administration of the va
rious municipal departments con
stitute tho essence of the man
agerial plan of government for
Salem being formulated by the
special committee appointed re
cently by Mayor Douglas McKay,
it was announced last night.
The committeer-the mayor and
City Attorney Chris J. Kowitz,
meeting at the city Ball, discussed
the various proposals for the new
set-up and decided a semi-final
draft could be prepared for fur
ther consideration Monday night.
Under the plan outlined last
night, the city would be redlstrict
ed into six, in place of the pres
ent seven, wards; one alderman
would be elected from each, and
the mayor would be chosen by
vote at large. The mayor as chair
man, with voting but not veto
powers, would serve as the sev
enth councilman and also as the
city's official public representa
tive. Appointive powers would be di
vided: The council would choose
the city manager, city treasurer
and municipal judge; the man
ager would then name depart
ment heads. All appointments
would be for indefinite terms, re
vocable upon 15 days' notice.
Water System Entrusted
To Manager's Supervision
The manager, the committee
said, is given "practical" manage
ment of all city departments in
cluding a municipal water system
if the city acquires a system. His
actions would be guided by the
council's expressed policies. The
scheme calls for abolishing the
present city water commission.
All work now done by boards
and commissions is placed in
charge of the city manager with
the exception of the zoning and
boxing commissions, appointed by
the mayor; the civil service com
mission, appointed by the council,
and possibly the library board.
No major changes In present civil
service status is contemplated, the
committee declared.
A radical departure from the
present setup here Is a provision

Brown Said to Have Sat in

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. (P)
The wholesale cancellation of air
mail contracts tonight was pub
licly explained by Postmasterien
eral Farley as predicated on his
belief that "all the present do
mestic carriers secured contracts
based on conspiracy or collusion."
He made one possible exception,
the National Park Airways, but
let this broadside against the rest
of the companies stand as his
answer to the protests from the
air lines and to congressional and
editorial criticism.
The conspiracy, he Charged,
was hatched at a meeting of air
line representatives In 1930, who
entered an agreement which "re
sulted in a division of all air mail
contracts of the United States and
the practical elimination of com
petitive bidding."
His answer, made while pro
tests and criticism still continued,
was in a letter to Senator Black,
chairman of the state committee
Investigating air and ocean mall
contracts.
Copies Made of Letters
Written to Brown.
The postmaster general, a few
hours before he made public the
letter and a bundle of pohtostat
ic copies of correspondence taken
from the postoffice files during
the administration of Postmaster
General Walter F. Brown, had
sent a telegram to Colonel Charles
A. Lindbergh. Lindbergh sent a
protest to President Roosevelt
three days ago.
Farley told Lindbergh that "I
am certain that if you were in pos
session of all the facts you would
not feel that any injustice has
been done or will be done." He
followed this with the publiciz
ing of his letter to Black.
"It Is incontrovertible," Farley
said In his letter to Black, "that
the 1930 meeting was held, that
It was confined to those who sub
sequently obtained contracts, that
the provision of law calling for
competition in bidding was not
carried out. and that all the pres
ent domestic air mail carriers se
cured contracts based On conspir
acy or collusion, with the possi
ble exception of the National Park
Airways, which will be given, fur
ther consideration."
The National Park Airways op
erate a route from Great Falls,
Mont., to Salt Lake City. Farley
said It "did not appear" that re
presentatives o f the National
Park Airways had taken an active
part in the meetings at Washing

relief administrator, simultane
ously with passage of the 3950,

relief appropriation by congress
and opening of a conference of
state labor officials with Secre
tary Perkins on state labor laws.
Hopkins directed the discontin

various departments and bureaus
to reduce their civil works forces
from 50 to 90 per cent.
Those continued on the payroll

tomorrow could not be ascertain

government land and partly on

the projects and complete them.
Secretary Wallace of the agri

any there be, who are eager to
pay their 1934 levies, may begin

tax rolls are to be formally certi
fied to the sheriff this morning
by Oscar A. Steelhammer, county

erty tax Income total $1,617,362
this year, an increase of 2175,954
from the aggregate tax roll in
1933. The bulk of this tax in
crease is caused by the fact that
last year the county dug into its
accumulated road funds and paid
the tax for state purposes with
out imposing a levy on real prop
erty. This year the county court
was unable to use its reverses fur

remained in Marion county; this
year approximately $155,000 is to
be raised by a levy on real and
personal property for state pur
poses. No Secondary Highway
Funds Rebated
Another factor increasing the
taxes this year is the fact that no
disbursement of secondary high
way funds comes to the county in
1934; last year this source of in
come was $70,000. Otherwise,
city, school district and county ap
propriations and thus taxes, are
slightly less than in 1933.

KLAMATH FALLS, Feb. 14.-(JP)-A
first degree murder charge
was filed late today against Hor
ace M. Manning, 55, In whose of
fice State Representative Ralph
Horan, 29, was found shot to
death Monday night.
District Attorney T. R. Gillen
waters said prosecution would
proceed on the theory that Mann
ing fired all four shots. When he
first notified officers of the shoot
ing Manning said he shot in self
defense. Horan was found lying face
down on the floor, clutching a
revolver discharged twice. A bul
let through his heart killed him
and another struck him in the
shoulder.
The charge followed a day of
Investigations directed by O. E.
Heinrich, criminologist of Berke

vities today indicated he was at
tempting to learn the ownership
of the two revolvers and if any
one nearby heard the shots.
Attorneys for Manning said
they would ask for a preliminary
hearing in justice court.
H. M. Kemper, operator at the
Grand theatre here, is a first cou
sin of Mr. Horan. The latter was
entertained at the home of Mr.

have to be made.
The city attorney -stated that

him to believe that PWA might
permit the city to sell more than
$2,000,000 in bonds specified. If
bonds for purchasing the present
plant are sold at considerably less
than par, $2,000,000 worth would
not suffice for the entire deal, he

European Capitals Fear liaison Between .
Germany and Austria; ItaUanTroops on
March Near Border, Reports Rome Paper
By the Associated Press
FEARS that the upshot of a socialist revolt in Austria may be
a German-Austrian liaison were expressed Wednesday in Eur
opean capitals, as bitter fighting waged in the little country.
In Rome the well-informed newspaper Giornale D'ltalU pub
lished a report that Italian troops were in motion near the Austrian
border. The reports had been denied by the government.
In Vienna and other Austrian cities government troops poshed
back the dissident forces, which retired "in strategic retreat to
prepare another assault on the capital or continued to fight it out
in the streets.
Austrian government leaders claimed victory, but ordered
more troops to Vienna. The death list was unofficially estimated
at 1,000 to 1,500, including many women and children.
The triumph of nazi-ism in Austria was railed Inevitable by
the official national socialist party organ, the Diplomatise he Kor
respondenz, in Berlin.
"Austria's nazis, whose power and strength are indubitably
rooted in the German people in Austria, know with the same cer
tainty that their hour will come, as they know Chancellor Dollfuss
hour has struck," it said.
Italy, said the Giornale D'ltali in Rome, is viewing the Aus
trian situation, "coolly," but it was said unofficially there that
many Italians feared the nazis might launch a drive for political
power with the present crisis as a basis.
The French cabinet decided that Chancellor Doll fuss must be
supported and the monetary and trade help will be proposed by
France as remedies before the League of Nations council.
. The forthcoming trip of Captain Anthony Eden, British Lord
Privy Seal, o the continent was viewed In the London foreign
office as affording an opportunity to clarify Britain's Austrian pol
icy in Paris, Rome and Berlin.
