That parade, scheduled to com
mence again at 5:59 this morning
when the first vehicle clears the
afirgrounds gate, is destined to
attract even more sightseers than
the longer one which ran through
Salem on Monday.
Monday's long line of troop-
filled trucks, commanders' cars
and supply vans was good adver
tising for the nationwide show in
which Salem shares this week,

through Friday will see similar,
though shorter lines, traveling by
highway 99 past the east end of
the state capitol building and
down 12th street.

In spite of the speed which
brought the procession a distance
of 189 miles in half a day Tues
day only three flat tires and one
set of hot brake shoes marred
the journey. A heavy mainten
ance truck bringing up the rear
makes all repairs and thus does
away with serious traffic jams.
Radio communication between
first car in the column and last,

ice makes of the otherwise awk

Traveling in five serials, which
in turn are divided into march
units, the column is accompanied
by a state police guard. Military
police and state police divided
responsibility of directing traffic
as the line moves through cities

actually would fall short of
meeting the company's federal,
state, county and city taxes,
rolhemus declared. Application
of this surcharge to the Bonne-'
ville standard rate weald bring
a redaction of 22H Per. cent, or
from 14.75 to $3.68, In the
monthly bill of a householder
buying 209 kilowatt hours of
energy, , . . '
Other local surcharge rates in
the Marion and Polk county area
already determined ' are 10 per
cent for Mt AngeL Silverton, West
Salem and Woodburn and 15 per
cent for Aurora, Donald, Gervais,
Hubbard, St Paul and Turner.
Rural districts will continue to
receive power at the "postage
stamp"-Tate, Polhemus said.
Presentation of the new rates
U the public is the result of
stndles eondacted since the
summer ef 1949 by Prof. F. O.
McMillan, head of the depart
ment of electrical engineering
at Oregon State college, at the
request of the company, the
PGE president explained. Stud
ies for areas outside of Marlon
and Polk counties are still In
progress.
Polhemus predicted that the
PGFs new rate policy would "ul
timately have far-reaching ef
fects on electric service costs in
the territory served by PGE."
l"The new locality surcharge
policy," he continued, "is in line
with the rate-making policies of
the PUDs and municipalities dis
tributing Bonneville power.
"Changing conditions have
made the adopton of locality
surcharge' rates opportune.
PGEs rural rates are now
among the very lowest for large
country areas in the United
States. Abe a new source of.
energy Bonneville dam has
come into operation, and PGE
is baying every kilowatt-hoar
of Bonneville energy that it can
obtain. ....
"Under Portland General Elec
tee's locality surcharge' rate pol
icy, each community will be given
incentive to earn lower rates by
Increasing its use of electricity,
and by helping keep down the
costs of operation. .

Salem YGleemen Concert Takes

By MAXINE BUREN
Thm RaiAm v mmen Tuesday night appeared In their sec
ond annual concert, singing to a more-than-fair sized crod; un
der the direction of Conductor Edouard Hurlimann.
Selections were varied, with some numDers rawer unusuaj
for a men's singing group. Open
ing with Franz "Dedication" and
continuing with Deems layiors
Mar Day Carol" the complete
chorus sang "Dear Land of Home
by Sibelius (one of their very best
numbers, by the way) a "Merry
Festal Day" by Smetana; Sulli
van's "Flowers That Bloom in tne
Spring" and "The Long Day
Closes," and the "Hunting Song"
by Clokey. ' y;-
"i: The quartet la a firelight
setting, sang "Careless Love,"
Max Alford singing the inci
dental solo, and "Home on the
Range," with the solo part tak
en by Richard Barton. Ronald
Craven sang "The Little HUls
are Calling" as a solo number la
this group. ,
The small chorus of nine voices
presented "Hills of t Home" by
Bower and "Water Boy" by Mac
Arthur with Ronald Craven and
Richard Barton singing the solos.
The latter was repeated as an
encore.
"From Wilderness to Wonder
and" was sung with much gusto
by the cnorus wmcn appeared
during the centennial celebration.
The soloist Miss Mary Elizabeth
Kells, was In sharp contrast to the
men singers.
This young Salem singer has
developed considerably since
going east several years ago.
Her voice Is sweet and true in
tone and seems especially adapt
ed to such numbers as "Lulla
by" by Brahms, which' she aang
as a solo number, and "Connals
to le pays" from Mignon Thom
as. - if '
;But her singing of the spirited
"Oh No John!" was especially
good, as she forgot formality and
acted the part of the shy maiden
answering a proposal of marriage.
Her other numbers were "Whittv
er?" by Schubert; "Calm As the
Night" by Bohm; "Music I Heard
With You" by Hageman; "Danny
Boy"; "Mountains" by Rasbach.
and the sweet though less famil
iar, "Velvet Shoes" by Thompson.

WASHINGTON, May 20-ft-
The United States acted Tuesday
to ' relieve a shipping shortage
which is troubling Eire, and to
send food to refugees in the island,
but turned down pleas of Irish of
ficials for arms with which to de-
fsnft tVili itirraHtV- 1.
President Roosevelt announced
an offer to allow the Eire gov
ernment to buy or charter two
cargo ships here and a contri
bution of SSOO.OOd worth ef food
supplies through the American
Red Cross. .
But Irish officials were told, it
was learned, that demands on
American arms production are two
or three times greater than the
supply and all of it is needed for
those countries actively engaged
in fighting the axis powers.
WASHINGTON, May 20-(P-A
drive to recruit a million or more
volunteers to man the home de
fenses in any wartime emergency
Tuesday night became one of the
first objectives of the newly cre

Officials obviously expected a
large proportion of the men to
come from the vast reservoir of
young, physically able manpow
er known to the draft organisa
tion as class J-A -men given a
deferred status because they
have dependents to support.
Plans are that the men shall be
organized and trained to the task
of protecting life , and property in
their localities, in coordination
with the home guard units already
established in many states.
WASHINGTON, May 20-(P)-
Lopplng 109,000,000 off prelimin

Roosevelt asked congress Tuesday
for $886,000,000 for the WPA in
