Salem, Oregon -
Dear Mr. Read: .
I am pleased to report that arrangements for mrnnA
Salem Electric are progressing satisfactorily. A new contract providing for this sec- f
ond point of delivery and an increase in your contract demand will be ready for your i
approval within a few days, i ' H , 5
,. : i - ''".-;' ' .'; v -; " "... I I .j;:; - .
In view of these developments it seems appropriate to extend our congratulations i
on the progressive operation of the Salem Electric Expansion of your system un- ii
doubtedly will result in Increased savings in power costs to your customers and in-1
directly to all consumers in the Salem area. i -
- ' ' - : - ' ' ' ' j ii
It U interesUng to note that the Portland General Electric Company has ?reduced I
it rates in the city of Salem to about 13 below PGFs Portland rates. I assume
that this was done to meet the competition of the low rates charged by Salem Dec- 3
trie. As a result Salem residents have realized a saving of more than $300,000.00 in
the last four years, as compared with Portland rates, an annual savings toow ere ave
raginj approximately 384,000.00. i ?
- ( ' ! :
Salem Electric deserves a great deal of credit for the Important part It has played
In lowering Salem power rates. 1

At Brunei Bay
MANILA, Thursday, June 21-
UPfln a shore to shore operation
units of the Australian ninth divis
ion have landed at the northern
head of Brunei bay, northwest
Borneo, giving them . control of
both sides of the entrance to the
waterway, General MacArthur an
nounced today.
The landing was preceded by an
artillery bombardment from La
buan island, seized by the Aussies
early in their invasion of Borneo.
The island is five miles west of the
new beachhead.
"Our ground forces now control
the shores bordering , both en
trances into the bay," the com
munique said.
Medium bombers supported the
ground operations.
Heavy bombers and fighters
made another of their daily strikes
in the Balikpapan area, where the
Tokyo radio says, without allied
confirmation, that an allied naval
force has been operating for tev I
eral days.
The heavies dropped 150 tons of
explosives on Balikpapan, Mang
gar and nearby airfields.

State's New
Retirement
iaw Praised
"Oregon's retirement law and
civil service act ' which becomes
operative July 1 will assure perm
anency to state employes and give
the state a continued, if not bet
ter! ilpersonneL" Forrest Stewart,
executive secretary ' of the State
Employe's association, told members-
of the Salem Rotary club on
Wednesday in Hotel Marion. .
Prior to Stewart's address, Pres
ident Roy C. Harland Introduced
W.f A. (Bill) ChitUck, member of
the: Manila Rotary; club who was
prisoner of the Japanese from
Jam 6, 1942, until February 3.
IMS, when, as Chittick told Ro-
tarians, "Tanks , crashed through
thef walls of Santa Tomas prison
and! with the shouting of Filipinos
the-: Americans are coming we
knew our liberation was at hand."
'Many employes of the state
haVe been in service 10, 25 and 35
years, attesting to j their loyalty,"
Stewart said, "and many employes
in state jobs have worked until
they died during ! their employ
ment, some past the present 65
years retirement age. The new
law j win give employes a chance
to retire gracefully and also will
open up an opportunity for the
employment of returning service
men; and women. ;
"Veterans will have a five-point
credit In examinations' for posts.
If they have as much as 10 per cent
disability they will be given a 10-
point advantage. This will give
them the edge in securing state
work. .
Under the retirement act em
ployes contribute a portion of their
salary which goes directly into
their account The state matches
this; contribution. If an employe
decides to leave the state services,
before he has been subject to pro
visions of the law for 10 years he
may draw out all of his contribu-
lons, plus interest but he will not
get! what the . state contributed.
That remains In the fund. How
ever, If an employe works past
10 years, or say 11 years, then he
cannot draw any of his contribu
tion. Instead, it is set up for him
as a retirement fund at the of 65
and the state's contribution in this
case also remains to the credit of
the; employe.' I

Power to Keep
Commitments
Held Needed"
American foreign . policy
has
failed - 4tragicallyn in the
past
through, expanding our commit
ments but contracting our power
to enforce hem," Supreme Court
Justice Jamoa T. Brand told . the
Soiem Kiwanis club Tuesday, y
Judge Brand, ' speakinj at the
Marion hotel, declared the nation
had three alternatives (1) con
fine our interest and commerce to
continental territory; (2) establish
a defense imperialism, and (3) co
operate with other . peace-loving
nations. JThe first alternative he
regarded as entirely impracticable,
and-world peace was declared an
impossibility "until nations get
over the bogey-manfear of sur
rendering some of their sovereing-
ty" and until there is established
a "regime of law among all coun
tries. I . .. f .
3 (
The justice said the crisis was
"in the immediate future," and
that it was "time to put the pres
sure on the UJS. senate to accept
whatever! we. can get" fin the way
of a world peace program, and not
allow any plans to be "talked or
boondoggled to death." '
n, f
Brand cited the pact guaranteeing
the open door policy in China and
the converse agreement to limit
our navy and refrain from forti
fying island bases.
Peace, Judge Brand declared, is
not an all-inclusive term, in that
America wants peace but only
with the; conditions of security,
liberty, justice andN opportunity.
He declared that isolation now
was as dead as a mackerel," and
that "no nation on earth can se
cure; peace alone
