The im portant details are on AT sports page this morning.

Al mumbled something or ther, and tried to slink t his seit. "Come back! here; we're not through with you yet," Huston ordered., :.'" So Al came back. "And here's another $100 just as a token of our appreciation for what you've done for our youth," Huston said, again ten dering a .check to Al. Youngsters and adults all voiced their; approval vociferous ly, and Al he couldn't say a thing. Hence, it's said for him. Engineer Given Map Contract G. R.

Mil 70 Less Permanent Peace Possible ; ! Only Under Tribunal With j . -it 1 , t Real Power, Morse Says ; By Lillie L. Madsen 1 If Farm Editor, Tha Statesman You can't preserve peace on a permanent basis in the world if part of it is occupied by .an enslaved afad oppressed people, Oregon's Senator Wayne L. Morse told members of the Oregon Farmers Union at Champooeg Sunday.' . 'f J More than 600 Union members inq friends gathered at the park for their annual summer meetin. f 4 f Hope of world peace, the senator said, depends upon the world court and this court must have compulsory rather than optional jurisdiction. There js nothing In experience to make us believe a court can function if compliance with its rulings-is voluntary, he said. . "We have to be realistic enough to realize if we settle all disputes ourselves we are not working for world peace." He hoped that "dur ing the next 100 years we would learn to live in peace so that every question which has in the past led to war will be settled by judiciary, unbiased Judgment of a world court." The senator amplified by stating that we are not going to be able to separate our domestic prob lems from our international, and added that if we have a third world war we will never have a fourth, "nor will we finish the third." In reference to the political and economic aspects, the senator out lined the fight made by himself and other senators for the main tenance of the fair employment act, funds for which were voted down by what he called "political manipulations." "If we cannot carry political freedoms over into economic free dom then we stand to lose," he in sisted. Our form of democracy cannot survive depression in widespread form, the senator asserted, adding that "we must be willing to use resources of America to provide and maintain what is called the American way of life." Of the nation's goal of full em ployment, Morse said that for the adjustment period we must stand r,eady to spend. Private industry must be so encouraged that it can provide the greatest number of jobs. Maximum of administration must fall on local government. He scored the notion that if we sub mit a problem to Washington, it will be solved. "The boys in Congress are no smarter than any other group. Recognize that they are your ser vants and not your masters and that you must keep them that way." In closing Senator Morse. said: "If we have faith in the faith of our fathers then we 'should re dedicate ourselves to that faith and that faith will carry on." Ronald -. Jones, state Farmers Union president, was chairman of the program following the basket picnic at noon. Roy Hewitt, in re spect to World Prayer day, gave the peace thanksgiving prayer. James Smart led in group singing and Mrs. William Knorr directed the juniors in song.

Discusses Problems With Gty Council The Southern Pacific railway is more than willing and anxious to do- anything It can to cooperate with the city of Salem in various details. This was the statement of I P. Hopkins, general cuoerin- tendent of the company, at the city council meeting Monday night One councilman, accepting his offer to discuss problems, wanted to know why Salem could not have a green, yard around the depot as was true in Eugene. Hop- kins pointed out that there was a lawn here, although admitting the lawn had not been cut as fre quently as necessary, but promised he would attend to that person ally. f- Evidently thinking the objec tions were at an end, Hopkins stepped out and suggested that the city could help the company. He cited the instance of an engineer who had been compelled to make an emergency stop in Salem last week when an automobile driver failed f to stop and insisted on beating the train to the crossing. "In j that connection, I would like to ask about some things," Councilman Armstrong said, "I was at Trade and Liberty tonight at 7:30 and they were making a flying" switch." Hopkins asked several questions and finally said, "Was there any body on the crossing?" and Arm strong shot back, "I was there." The appearance of Hopkins with a large group of railroad men at the council meetings followed ob jections voiced recently by coun- cilmen to alleged delinquencies of the company Hopkins was asked last night about the signals for D street, and Armstrong chimed in with a query about Madison street. Hop kins admitted he did not know the status but would look it up. Large Group Attends Junior Hostess Meet Approximately 125 girls at tended the junior hostess meet ing at the YMCA Monday night, to hear Lucy Coe, the USO's as sistant director, discuss plans for entertainment and organization of teams of junior hostesses. Mrs. Coe said after the meeting that there was an actual need for more hostesses, if Camp Adair continues,' and urged . that ' girls who- are over 18 years of age or high; school graduates ' submit their applications.! Only other qualifications are that each girl should furnish three references to be passed upon by a USO com mittee and that each is required to take a training course before she is granted a junior hostess card. Hostesses are divided into teams of 10 girls each, headed by a team captain, according to regu lations adopted by the group at the nieeting. Each team will ro tate i on different phases of en tertainment for the servicemen, which will include, besides the formal dances, bicycle parties, picnics, talent nites and trips to the camp. Hostesses will b also expected to serve at the desk, at dances, and at the canteen at the USO building. Team captains will meet at 6:30 ; p. m. Friday for a dinner meeting, Mrs. Coe added, and will discuss further plans for enter tainment and organization. j NOW SHOWING IT'S DYNAMITE! . . Set to Music!

Earl Snell's tax study commission. The cost for the school years 1943-44 was $22,544,558. New legislation permitted ; the j increas ed estimate. . ." ; T Largest percentage of this cost, he said, will be employment of teachers and administrative offi cials. The estimated enrollment for the coming school year is 237, 387. up about 11,000. The bond indebtedness of the school districts decreased from $19,604,297 ia 1330-31 to $7,698, 690 in 1843-44 with a falling off of warrants during the same per iod from $2,413,417 to $413,640. H Under a temporary program the public schools now receive state support in the amount of $8,000,- 000 annually, exclusive of the ele mentary school fund, which is permanent, aggregating $2,100. 000. Approximately $300,000 is re ceived by the schools from the irreducible school fund. Hand Sacsested Putnam suggested that a mini mum state equalization fund be provided to effectuate the state's share of the school program equal to approximately 50 per cent of current operating costs. At the 1944-45 levels this would approx imate $12,500,000, including re ceipts from the elementary school fund. One highlight of the session was the -comment by Kelly Loe of the AFT, to the effect that Tax Com missioner Coe McKenna, who also is a member of the tax study com mission, had been represented as publicly favoring the sales tax (which McKenna previously en dorsed), and McKenna's response to' Loe's objection: "I do not in tend to advocate a sales tax be fore this commission." The commission" approved a re port of a special committee rec ommending employment of Sam uel ' James Barrick, Washington, D. C, as its executive research director. Barrick is a graduate of the Ohio State university and for tout years was employed as fi nance examiner in the bureau of community facilities, federal works administration. The next meeting of the tax study commission will be held early in September. 7 JAP-HELD GENERAL SAFE PORTLAND, Aug. 20.-P)-First news from her husband for a year wai( received today by the wife of Maj.
