The leftward drift in Europe
which was noted a year ago has
been reversed. Freh proof ap
pears in the results of balloting in
Berlin on Sunday. In municipal
elections the sociali5t unity (com
munist) party polled only 19.8 per
cent of the ballots to put it third
m the running. Leading was the
social democratic party with 48.7
per cent and next was the Chris
tian democrats with 22 per cent.
Russian influence had been di
rected toward merging the com
munist and socialist parties into
a socialist unity party, but the
union failed to give the merged
party a plurality in the voting in
Berlin. Just how elections would
turn out in the exclusive Russian
zone of Germany is not clear, but
even there a substantial opposition
party exists.
There is real danger, however
that the reversal of the . political
trend may give the stiff-necked
rightists, the fascist sympathizers
or collaborators, the reactionary
interests in the various countries
of western.' Europe, a fresh lease
on life. As the communist threat
recedes thiese arch-conservatives
emerge to try to regain power and
influence. This has been observed
in Italy and France and will ap
pear in Germany, given half a
chance.
Out of the welter of political and
economic and social chaos that is
Europe today some force will
emerge. The more chaotic condi
tions become the greater the dan
ger of a "man on horseback.", some
leader with a new appeal who will
give democracy short shrift. It is
hard for our occupation force to
prescribe democracy by bayonet,
but it ought ' to cast 'its weight
against the old Bourbons who
have learned nothing from this
war and merely seek to regain
their political, social and economic
privileges.
Americans rejoice that the pen
dulum is swinging away from to
talitarian communism. They hope
it can stop at the point of demo
cratic liberalism and not go on
to let black reaction get a fresh
grip on the continent.

Defers Zone
Amendments
Final action on a proposed ordi
nance to-amend Salem zoning pro
cedure, drafted by the city plan
ning and zoning commission with
tin eventual rezoning of Salem
incorporating recently annexed
territory in mind, was deferred
by the ctty council last night.
Although the ordinance was up
for final reading and vote, council
tabled it after Alderman Albert
H. Gille suggested that the public
should have aditional time to be
come familiar with its -provisions.
Among changes which the new
law would bring about is simpli
fication of procedure to notify
property owners of impending
zone changes when initiated by
the council. Public hearing, ab
sence of remonstrance represent
ing half or more of the affected
property and newspaper notices
would be considered sufficient no
tice under the new law. It is now
required that property owners be
notified by personal service of no
tice by a city officer.

Jersey Cattle Club Says Milk Not Too High;
Increased Feed, Labor Costs Gted at Meeting
By Lillie L. Madsea
Staff Writer. The Statesman
CHAMPOEG, Oct 21.-(Special)
To the question "just how high
is milk at 18 cents a quart?" the
answer is not very," in the opin
ion of members of the Marion
County Jersey Cattle club at their
October meeting Sunday. More
than 50 club members met at the
historic Champoeg home of Henry
Zorn.
M. G. Gunderson, widely known
livestock sales' manager, who was
speaker, suggested that "the Port
land women who are going on the
milk boycott should inform them
selves concerning what is going
on in their world before they take
any such action."
Gunderson said that when milk
was selling at 1 1 cents a quart
hay could be had for $10 to $12
a ton, and mill feed at from $23
to $28 a ton.
-Milk," he continued, "is now
up to It cents a quart, while hay
sells at from $30 to $40 a ton
and mill feed at from $75 to $95.
Feed has -trippled while milk
hasn't even doubled. And this
doesn't include labor which dairy
men, during the 11-cent milk,
could get for $50 a month while
now offers of $180 to $200 a jnonth
go begging;"
In conclusion, Gunderson said
that "of course, the women can
refuse to take the milk but the
price has to stay up or soon those
some women will be begging for
milk at any price. More and more
dairymen are sellirig their cattle.
Dairy products: are becoming
scarce. There are places today in
the Willamette valley you can't
buy more than half a pound of but
ter at even $1 a pound. Looking
over the actual cost of production,
even a fourth grader can give the
answer to the Portland boycot
ters.'' Club members went on record
endorsing Gunderson 's address.
Four-H club members who were
record and show winners during
the past year were honored at the
Sunday meeting. Betty Jean Vogt
of Salem was presented the Jer
sey heifer calf, given by Henry
Zorn, for having the most Jersey
activities during the past year,
and Ronald Barnick, also of Sa
lem, won the show cup, donated
by Ladd & Bush, Salem branch
pt the United States National
bank. The presentation was made
by the bank's fieldman, Ted llo
bart. The November meeting will be
held at the O. C. Welch home at
Salem. The annual meeting in
January is to be held at the Dairy
co-op hall, also in Salem.
Safely In
Traffic
Planned
A comprehensive recommenda
tion for traffic safety improve
ments in Salem pas.-ed the city
council last night without discus
sion, after Alderman Kenneth C.
Perry stressed appointment of the
proposed city traffic safety direc
tor as first step and predicted that
the entire program would go into
effect over "a period of year."
Traffic aids, the subject of re
cent controversies, which the re
port endorses, includes expansion
of the police force, installation of
parking meters, elimination of
gasoline pumps from public streets
and state adoption of compulsory
motor vehicle in.spei tion.
Grade Crossings Studied
Regarding grade crossing acci
dents (which, following close on
the heels of an unfavorable traf
fic report on Salem by the Na
tional Safety council, prompted
the council emphasis on traffic
study last month), the report
called tor immediate study of
grade crossing traffic hazards by
a committee of three aldermen
and four citizens, working through
the Salem long-range planning
commission and the Southern Pa
cific Railroad Co.
The report reeommeiuis that
the traffic 'director be considered
part of the police department but
be directly resjxiiiMble to , the
council, and, later, the city" ad
ministrator. It is proposed r that
the traffic director conduct traf
fic school for violators of traffic
laws, conduct safety educational
programs in the schools and gen
erally study and keep the city in
formed on traffic hazards and
proposed remedies.
Recommendations Up
Also recommended in the report
are:
One or more municipal paiking
lots to park several hundred cars
in downtown areas for shoppers,
to be maintained through use of
parking meters or assessment on
business properties.
Addition of at least seven po
licemen to city police force and
subsequent assignment of 10 po
licemen of the force to full time
traffic control duties, the cost of
this addition and necessary new
police equipment to be financed
through paiking meters.
Traffic control signals at State
and 12th, Capitol and Market,
Front and Center, Commercial
and Ferry, Commercial and Mis
sion, Commercial and Miller and
Portland road and Silverton road
and other "strategic" intersections.
Elimination of paiking on 12th
between Mission and Ferry
streets.
Marion county delegation in
state legislature to sponsor meas
ure for compulsory motor vehicle
inspection.
Membership in National Safety
council for all Salem public
schools.
Elimination of all double park
ing in business district.
Loading zones to be used only
between 8 a.m. and noon.
Speed limit of IS miles per hour
in all school zones.
ZS-Mlnnte Parking
Twenty-minute parking limit In
vicinity of local banks.
Elimination of gas pumps and
service station facilities from pub
lic property.
Request to state highway com
mission for rerouting of all log
ging trucks from main traffic
lanes of the city.
The only action initiated at last
night's council meeting with bear
ing on the traffic safety report
were ordinance brils limiting train
speed in the city to 25 miles per
hour and forcing gasoline pumps
and service station facilities off
public streets. Both received first
and second reading! and. the lat
ter, introduced by Alderman Al
bert H. Gille as an individual, was
referred to the police and traffic
committee for study prior to final
reading.
Members of the special commit
tee appointed by Mayor I. M.
Dough ton were Perry, Alderman
G. F. Chambers. Alderman Gille,
E. Burr Miller, Edward Maiek and
Harry Scott.
Council Denies
Three New
Cab Licenses
Licenses for thiee nrw tasirab

council at its meeting last night
in city hall. License Chairman E
B. Acklm explaining that the new
taxi ordinance provides for one

GIs Ba 55
Germans in
Search Raids
STUTTGART, Geimany, Oct.
2W)P)-Amerlen constabulary
troopers, rquipped with tanks and
machineguns and aided by Ger
man police, took 55 Germans into
custody tonight in two lightning
raids in search of anti-denazification
terrorists who exploded
three bombs here Saturday.
The dragnet followed by a few
hours a warning by a U. 8. offi
cial in Berlin that widespread
bombings and other acts of sab
otage might occur in the U. S. oc
cupation ' zone in protest against
denazification measures.
More than 300 U. S. constabu
lary troopers, aimed with sub
machine guns, swooped down on
the four-block area In the down
town section of this city. They
were assisted by 200 blue-uniformed
German police.
A score of medium and light
tanks roared Into the area, fol
lowed by Jeeps and trucks.
A statement from U. S. forces
in Europe expressed the belief
that the bombings "were not anti
America or anti-occupation, but
were purely German against Ger
man," and probably by rightist
elements, in protest against the
arrest by the Germans of HJal
mar Schacht, former nail finan
cial expert acquitted by Nuernberg.
