Canby and Columbia, at the mouth of the Columbia obsolete: so it is not surprising the war cle partment is declaring them sur plus. They have never fired a gun in anger, and only once had opportunity to do so. That was June 23, 1942 when a Jap sub lobbed over a few shells into the j Stevens reservation. The sub was veil out of range of the fort's j c:innon, and the latter's command- er wisely refrained from firing i because that would have given ! the sub a line on vital installa- , tions. j The incident revealed the im- i potence of these old forts in mod ern warfare. In fact all fixed coast defenses are now of limited value. Unlew land batteries have greater range than guns of enemy battleships the latter may lie be low the horizon and pulverize the defensive fortifications. Fleets are mobile; fort batteries are not. Su perior defense now comes from mobile fleets of aircraft or naval vessels. In the last war we had n this coast regular shore and ocean patrols. The defense plan worked out In the last war put little load n coastal forts. Aircraft and patrol ships scanned the ocean ap proach; coast guardsmen patrolled the beaches. Mines were laid across estuaries. Back from the coast were located air bases for bombers and fighter planes, also army camps. The theory was to destroy the enemy before he might effect a landing or pin him down and push him into the sea if Via e4il noin Kztir-h KaoI Even this plan may now be ob solescent. Transport planes may cirry enemy troops for interior landings.

I Nut Growers Discuss Building Plans, Future Outlook Said Dim By Lillie L. Madsen Farm Editor. The Statesman Anything but a bright picture , Was painted by A. C. Jacobsen. manager of the Northwest Nut i Growers association, as he talked j j to 200 members of the Salem co I operative Saturday at their an j nual meeting held at the Veterans of Foreign Wars hall. A. L. Page presided. I Bringing on the dark outlook, Jacobsen said, was the large im portation of nuts from Europe, a group "in Washington who had been in power so long that its members felt they were the bosses instead of working for us,,: and large increase in acreage of nuts. Jacobsen told of four trips he had made to Washington in an effort to get some protection for nut growers. In closing; he added that nut growers had weathered other "tough times" and could weather this if they would increase pro duction on present acreage, cut costs of production and use greater speed in getting nuts to market. J. J. Gallagher, manager, told that the Salem plant, for the first time in Its 27 years, handled more than a million pounds each of filberts and walnuts. He spoke of the new plant to be built at 232 C Cherry ave. at a cost of " H - on Deficit Passes Mouse Price 5c No. 314 i PHILADELPHIA, March -An individual helicopter, which promises a new flying era for bus iness, pleasure and public service was disclosed here by Horace T.

The day 76th of the record breaking 44th legislative assem bly ako brought final house senate approval of amended bills setting minimum salaries for teachers and giving cities and counties a greatly increased share of highway commission revenues. The bill to allow calling a special election in 1948 was part of a five-point program brought out by joint legislative commit tees in an effort to assure a bal anced budget. It would permit a vote on levying property taxes up to $8,000,000, which propo nents said would be offset by in come and corporate excise tax without actual collection on prop erty. Another part of the joint com mittees' program providing for a 5 per cent cut in the salaries of state employes if a deficit a third part of the program pro viding for a 5 per cent cut in de partmental budgets under the same contingent circumstances.
