beaten and another man shot in
the foot.
Barkdoll, known by Pat Bush
man and . Chester Cram (alias
Lloyd Russell), his two compan

Underwriters Claim Loop
Alain in Front Street

The Oregon Insurance Rating
bureau has refused to grant a rate
reduction for Salem through al
lowing credits for improvements
already made to the water sys
tem, city officials disclosed yes
terday. Despite the fact the city has re
placed a leaky 750,000 gallon res
ervoir with a modern storage ba
sin holding 10,000,000 gallons,
has laid a new 18-lnch connecting
main bringing Into use an old
main of similar size for the first
time and has made a number of
other improvements to the sys
tem, the bureau is demanding, it
is understood, that a loop fire
protection main be laid in the
Front street industrial district be
fore any insurance credits are al
lowed. The bureau has also in
sisted that no rate change should
be granted until the new gravity
supply pipeline from Stayton Is
land is placed In use and the old
pumping station abandoned.
Insurance men here, who are
Inclined to disagree with the bu
reau's latest ruling, a few weeks
ago suggested to the city council
that the city was now entitled to
rate reductions because of the wa
terworks Improvements, i As a re
sult City Recorder A, Warren
Jones sent an inquiry to the bu
reau, which made an Investigation
and then denied the credits ex
pected here.
Water Bond Sale
Ordinance Is Due
The city council will receive
an ordinance at Its regular meet
ing Monday night calling for sale
of 1100,000 worth of water bonds
as requested Friday night by the
water commission. Mayor V. E.
Kuhn predicted yesterday. He
said he believed all members of
the special water construction
committee, which he heads,
would favor granting the com
mission's petition.
The water commission an
nounced Friday night sale of the
proposed $100,000 block of bonds
probably would be the last It
would be necessary to sell to fi
nance the current construction
program and iuture improve
ments could be paid i tor irom
earnings of the city. At present
there are 12,100,000 in water
bonds outstanding and 1400,000
authorized but unsold,
The status of the 12th and
Court street zone measure and
that of the Oregon Motor Stages'
proposed changes and expansions
In its street bus service were un
certain yesterday. Both measures
are in the hands of council com
mittees. ' i
Search for Amelia Will End
Today as Fuel Supply Short
HONOLULU, July 17-UP)-The
navy announced today It probably
would end tomorrow nights Its
far-flung search through the mid
Pacific for Amelia Earhart. .
Officers In charge said a dwin
dling fuel supply would force the
aircraft carrier Lexington to head
directly for San Diego after two
more daya of searching, Including
today.
Forty-two of the Lexington's
planes took oft as usual for a
morning survey but returned
three hours later without a clue.
They had covered an area 360
miles west of the international
date line and CO miles north of
the equator.
Search leaders here said the
three destroyers accompanying
the carriers would return to the
Pacific coast by way of Pearl
Harbor.
The futile search of the Phoe
nix and Gilbert island areas
strengthen the belief et experts
OThat was about two weeks before
the place was broken Into and
some hides and tools were taken.
Shortly afterward, on July 2.
a similar burglary was attempted
at a slaughter house at McMinn
ville. One of the two or three
men Involved, Willard Moore, 25,
of Portland, was seriously wound
ed by a charge of buckshot from
the gun of a night watchman. Lat
er a second man, Norman Moore,
a brother, was arrested, but not
definitely connected with the
burglary attempt. i
This week two other brothers,

ROCHESTER, Minn., July 18-
(Sunday) -UP)-The "Pleiades",
lifted by 80 tour-foot white rub
ber balloons bore Dr. Jean Pic
card into the air from Soldiers
field on an experimental flight
at 12:08 a. m. today. ,
Sharp detonations signalized
the breaking of the ropes to re
leased the craft. Dr. Piccard set
off TNT bombs around the ropes
electrically from within the open
gondolas.
He hoped to rise two to three
miles to learn whether a multi
batlooncraft can carry him later
into the stratosphere.
An estimated crowd of more
than 5000 persons circling the
field, which until the moment of
the takeoff had been brilliantly
lighted, cheered as the craft rose.
Lights on the field, except for
three searchlights, were turned
off as Dr. Piccard rose. He hoped
to remain aloft about seven hours.
Indications were he would drift
from 100 to 200 miles or more.
At approximately 2 a. m.. Dr.
Piccard reported he was at the
10,300 level and that first glim
merings of daylight were risible
in the east His position at that
time, as he gave it, placed him
almost directly east from Sol

Mrs. Piccard and their son,
John, in conversation with the
balloonist, urged him to main

librium, rather than to rise or
fall, before daylight He said
several times 'that; he was 'cold
but added always "I'm all right."
"Hello, hello, can you hear

over the short wave radio from
Dr. Piccard.
