The City Manager Plan I
The city council has seen fit to place on the Norember 5
ballot the charter amendment embodying the council-mana-
ger system of government, prepared by the- committee ap
pointed some months ago by Mayor W. W. Chad wick.' The
council's action was not unanimous ; yet. the barely comfort
able majority by -which it approved submittal of the propo
sition arouses the suspicion that there was no serious dispo
sition on anyone's part to prevent a popular vote. The fact
that there was no extended or vigorous debate points to the
same conjecture; that certain members voted against sub
mittal in order to record their own views, not in the hope of
denying that right to the voters.
. Time for voters' study of the council-manager proposal
is ample, yet no more than ample. In order to fulfill its prop
er role in a matter of such major importance to the commun
ity. The Statesman is going to have a lot to say on the sub
ject. Heretofore this newspaper has indicated its "support of
the general plan, its conviction that Salem's municipal sys
tem should be modernized. Yet may we here express the hope
that rather constant discussion of the proposal will not be
mistaken for vehemence of argument.. The Statesman plans
to discuss the matter extensively, but calmly, and hopes to
- .present sv maximum of information and a minimum of ar
gument. "
: The ordinance passed by the council last Monday, sub
mitting and containing -the text of the proposed, charter
amendments, covers only 11 double-spaced typewritten
pages. A considerable number of the individual amendments
i are merely technical, changing a word here and a comma
there, in order to make the charter fit the proposed program.
The really vital sections are the one providing for the change
over from a Ionian council to a seven-man council and for
making the offices of treasurer and recorder appointive ra
ther than elective, and the one creating the office of city man
ager and defining his duties.
In connection with the change-over, it should be noted
that if the amendment is approved, the city manager will be
chosen and installed on or about January 1, 1941, but that
some of the other changes will be gradual. Thus during the
years 1941 and 1942 there will continue to be a council of 14
members; the seven-member council arrangement will go
into effect January 1, 1943, the normal beginning of a new
administration following the 1942 elections which will be the
first elections held under the revised charter. Likewise the
city recorder and city treasurer elected in November of this
year will serve for two years, but. will be subject to the city
manager's supervision. After January 1, 1943, the offices
will be appointive ; the recorder appointed by the council, the
treasurer by the manager.
The second major amendment, setting forth the duties
of the city manager, will be discussed in a later editorial.
The African Campaign
The Duce, great in words but a little coy when it comes
to action, has been in the war for all of three months. His
fascist troops, so hot for conflict before the leader of fascism
got to the microphone in the Piazza Venezia that hot June
morning, have since marked time rather obviously, while
their leaders have devoted much more than a 40-hour week
to oratory about the dirty British and what they are going to
do when, significantly, they get a chance. So far they have
neither got nor taken a chance.
J This summarizes the situation in all but one respect.
Within the week the Italian armies, under Marshal Graziani,
have been launched on the long-awaited attack on the Suez
canal from Libya. Like the burning hosts of the avenger,
the black-shirts have promised to swarm out of the desert on
the British like. locusts, and to strip the Suez canal from them
like beetles consuming a ripe orange. To date they have mere
ly swarmed, and into towns with names like Solum and Bug
bug. The route of their advance has been along the thin, 20
mile wide strip of semi-arid land which lies between the wa
ters of the Mediterranean and the waterless, sun-baked des
erts of interior Egypt. No other route is available, and this
one, because of its proximity to the sea, is subject at almost
any time to intense and shattering cannon-fire from ships of
the British fleet lying not far off-shore. The amateur stra
tegists, in fact, have already suggested that the Italian mar--eJial
will some day find his army strung out along the line of
march, in positions difficult to supply with food or water,
and subject to a devastating fire from the guns of the fleet.
A heart more stout than those of many Italians would flinch
at a situation less demanding.
In addition to the opportunities of punishing Italians
marching along the African seacoast, the British navy has
also an admirable chance to cut off the supplies of oil, ma
chinery and replacements coming from the Italian mainland
to the aid of the Libyan armies. This it will doubtless attempt
to do, and it will succeed in almost direct ratio with the prog
ress of the battle of England. -
The Hitlerian conquest of Britain, indeed, is the final
factor to be considered in the African campaign. If the Ger?
man hosts force a peace on the British Isles, and the British
fleet is left to fend for itself in the Mediterranean, the game
will shortly be up, and the Italians, as they originally expect
ed, will have Suez and all of Egypt without fighting. On the
other hand, if the Germans are beaten off, the British have
a splendid chance to keep their sea power active in the duce's
mare nostrum, and to bring the attack from Libya to a final
debacle.
V - Why "Quotas" now on Food Crops?
. v Winter's shadow is falling already upon unhappy Eu
rope and with it is falling another sinister shadow famine.
There has been abundant evidence that even those few
areas of Europe which have not experienced the horrors of
war "will undergo the scarcely less fearful rigors of hunger
if not actual starvation.
And here in the United States the western states' sugar
beet growersincluding those in Oregon are forced once
again to complain because federal regulations permit them
to raise only enough beets to supply less than one-third of
the nation's domestic consumption of sugar. Their acreages
are so limited that economical operation of the industry, both
production and refining, is hampered, t
Why are there quotas, this year,' oh any crop destined for
human consumption? . -t-
True, it is impossible, this year, to export foodstuffs
from the United States to many of those potential famine
areas.-But "world events are unpredictable. Peace may come
or blockades may be broken or the United States itself may
become involved in war and need all the manpower available.
Under any of these conditions, what looks like a food surplus
from here will be just so much velvet. - There should be, for
the 1941 growing season, no limit'by law or federal regula
tion upon any crop that the United States can grow. - -

( Coaeladlag front yesterday ;
From the words of Wilkes, aot
ed by Mr. Barry, one might eon
elude that there was another
residence on the Joseph ' Gerrals
place, besides the one where
Jason. Leo was entertained and
where be preached, fa 1 S3 4-5,
seven years before, and that the
other one was a mile, more , or
less, down the river from" (nortb
of) the one to which the Indian
slaves carried water from the
wonderful spring; that of the
"three ! houses" of Slacuai ' in
1831 two were residences.
- One cannot find anything In
the Marion county probate rec
ords ot the disposition ' of the
estate of Joseph Gerrals. One
might conclude that he had little
or no property at the time of
his death. This writer has a faint
recollection of something' la .
other old record to sustain that
probability, and this may hare
attention In a later article or
series of articles.

Tex noted the shadow la her

He came back in a moment with
a glass in his hand. "Well, here's

"New Job?"
"Certainly. Do you think I'd

he did to me last night?"
The effrontery ot it made Ju

Tex took a long sip of his
drink: "Dud knew . I wasn't
working. He took you over to
Manhattan Just on a chance we d
meet. He knows where Sonny
goes!"
The ghastly Irony of the situa
tion appalled-Judith. For an In
stant she was convinced Tex was
not quite sane.
"I saw him this morning," Tex
went on. "Oh, you needn't look
so scared. I mail t knock him
down. I should have. I made him

"I know, honey. I don't blame

was, I say. I can't blame you
for being nice to him."
He finished his drink.
"Can't we eat early? I'm
stsrved. I got so mad I forgot to
eat lunch."
Judith went to the kitchen to
see how dinner was coming. She
leaned against the kitchen stove,
watched the -pot roast cooking.
The whole Incredible situation left
her utterly defeated.
"I hate him!" She said It quite
calmly to herself." He can't ever
hurt me again."
Dinner appeared to be Just as
usual. Tex talked about his new
Job. "They snapped me up! I'm
getting more dough, I'm going to
work my way Into the executive
end. in no time."
He ate an enormous meal.
Judith barely touched any food
It choked her.
"Tou're upset," he finally said.
"Don't be silly. Sonla doesn't
mean a thing to me. But Sonny
can do me some good with the
right people. Ton know Jameson
owns Trans-State. And he likes
her."
That was all the explanation he
made about Sonla.
Judith cleared the table, and
Tex turned on the radio to get a
news broadcast. She dreaded
going into the living room with
him. He sunk Into his favor
ite chair.
"This is something! It's good to
be home with nothing to do, no
place to go." he observed while
fussing with the dials . .
Tne European situation was
alarming. "If there's a war, I'll
probably go" he said slowly
"to a nice Instruction school
I'm too valuable to lose fighting.'
He grinned Impishly: "Glad I
was born between wars!"
The radio voice went on
"America's No. 1 woman pilot
cracked up today."
Judith saw Tex straighten in
his chair aa he listened.
"Sonla Wlnthrop Is la a Bos
ton hospital tonight in a serious
condition. She cracked- up near
Boston today In . a dense fog
which cut off Massachusetts from
the world. She was bound here
to visit friends. When a rescue
party found her and her ship,
she said: "This is the way I
want to go'."
Then, followed a review of
Sonia's air exploits and records.
The voice droned on. .... Judith
said. "Isn't that too bad; I'm
sorry for her." but in her heart
there was a question. Perhaps, It
served Sonla right! Tex picked up
the paper and made no comment.
In a few momenta without having
turned a page, he threw It down.
"Aren't there any cigarettes In
this house?"
"There are some upstairs.

When became back, he said im
patiently; "They're not my brand.
Ill get some."
Judith let him go without a
word. -
. "Back la a little while." he
called from the front door. .
Judith sat a there for a long
time. As though she could read
her husband's mind, she waa sure
he was going to Sonla. Jast as
sure as though he had told her.
"So this is the . end." She
wanted to cry but she couldn't,

bat the son was bright.
At- the corner drugstore, she
got a newspaper. There ca the
front page she found what she
waa sure would be there Sonia's
picture. And the headline: "Air

Judith went home to made a
decision. Even as she walked she
was sure what It must be.
In the hallway Emma met her

"Oh, Miss Judith!" Emma was
almost in tears. "Ton mustn't do

"I'm not, Emma." She patted

is El Solum haa a very small

ale to deal with at home. It sub
stantiate the belief that the
Italian people generally have no
stomach for this war. In the ab
sence ot fighting and victories,
but not of taxes and felt-tightening,
their enthusiasm can be kept
up for a time by dally rhetorical
devastations of the desert. But
there is a suspicion here that
Mussolini is becoming very im
patient with Hitler for failing to
win the war for him promptly.

peace and war from his Vatican
listening post. The' report' was
presented to the president at
Hyde parjc three weeks ago, yet
no inkling has developed even as
to whether Taylor Is to return to
his peace mission. " ;
A thorough indication that he
will not. is the sub-official talk
among new deal diplomats that
Taylor's ' health . is poor and he
does, not desire to resume the
strain of active service. .
. Bat far more conclusive evi
dence Is the complete absence
of any interest in peace sow
' ainonjr this government's dip
" lomatlc directors. There is good
reason to believe . Taylor re
ported the Vatican Working en
' ergetieally to establish a politi
cal basis of peace which would .
restore the autonomy of eon-1
qwered - nations (pinmably
' France, Belgium, Holland aad '
perhaps - Poland.) . The new
dealers would look on rach ;
" peace as a German victory even
' if It guaranteed . cessation of
the attack on England.
Clearly this government is not
now interested in that and there '
Is no reason to expect Mr. Taylor's
health will be permitted to Im
prove officially. ;
