NEW YORK, June 2-i&)-Tb housinf $hortage throughout the United States is far more critical than a year ago; Almost 40 percent fewer new homes were started this spring than last; Their average construction cont was up 23 per cent; The number of families evicted amounted to more than 13 times the total of new dwellings erected. This serious situation is dis closed in a survey tabulating of ficial housing statistics in- 157 bf the nation's largest cities, just completed by the As?ociaed Press. While the need for new housing has been estimated as high as 10,000,000 units, only 37,514 new homes and apartments were started in 157 cities in the first quarter of 1947. Sixty-three of the cities had waiting lists show ing 370,773 families without Plane Crashes in Downlow nSi'lic Weary SemiB Efloirse Yields ' After Temi-IHloiioir TalErathora SEASIDE. Ore..

Baxter, we insuini it itMin was one of .shock, of con cent fur Mrs. Baxter and ol a sene of persoiuil loss. Thiit mixed feeling 1 am sure ruhed through the minds of thousands of people when they learned trie sail new.. Were we not disciplined by 'umilaf experiences the refponse might have been one of incredul ity but in these days the sudden snapping of the life-cord occurs Hi oltcn one no longer demands verification of such a report. To compose a eulogy for Bishop Baxter would be eay for his virtues were m manifold and so evident. His was definitely a life of ser vice, not merely service to an in stitution like the church to .which lie dedicated himself, or to Wil lamette which always was dear to his heart, but service to peo ple, to all people, for Dr. Baxter made all he, knew persons to be remembered and served. The whole United States and partic ularly the Pacific coast, was his parish. A note from a distant point. A clipping from a paper he thought might interest you- A call at a hospital or a home. Visiting in his travels old students of Wil lametie. Looking up relatives of acquaintances. There seemed no limit to thejie personal friendly offices he would perform. He kept his hot of friends always in mind. There was disappointment here when he left the university pres idency to accept the olfice of bishop. To him it was the call 4t his church and into its duties he threw all of his abundant , energies. It is heroic as well as trsgic for him to be called in the midst of his labors during the sessions of a conference in Jus home area. Gtief, personal grief, grips- the heart of a multitude. They feel the personal loss of a friend as well as sorrow over the passing ct a great leader. But the good, bishop would not want us to give way to grief. He would remind us always that life calls as well - as death. Let each think of Bishop Bax ter as he saw him last perhaps striding along the street waving his hand in friendly greeting or in the pulpit or on the platform, or in company at a house or gath ering. He has stepped out through , an open dour, but the memory of his vibrant personality, his deep loyalties, his ready sympathies, his love of people his buoyancy abodes. Through the mist that clouds our eyes comes the glow cf a brighter vision, of a man translated in triumph at the zenith . f his powers. That memory, that v iMon will inspire a great host in all walks of life, of many creeds or none, whom Bishop Baxter touched along life's high- wsy.

School Zone (Ruling, Budget Matter Face City Council By Robert E. Gangwaro City Editor. The Statesman Several issues stirring the pub lic sentiment may combine to produce a lively city council ses sion and taxpayers' budget meet ing at 8 p. m. Monday in city hall. Scattered forces strongly oppos ing any move to permit school facilities or churches in residen tial zones already have notified aldermen of their stand against a pending ordinance bill opening residential zones I and II to such uses. The council is expected to re ceive the city zoning commission's recommendation that, instead, the council use its discretionary power under the existing zoning code to permit or deny school and church locations as requested. The commission also recommends that parks and playgrounds be brought within this discretionary power, which must follow notice to residents and public hearing. Primary opposition, most ald ermen report, comes from resi dents near Baker and Olive streets, three blocks north of Sa lem high school and Parrish jun ior high, where school officials hope to establish on school prop erty a sports field to accomo date the regular school physical education classes. School Superintendent Frank B. Bennett has pointed out that existing grounds near the schools are inadequate and that nearly half the Salem public school en rollment centers in Parrish and senior high schools. Some Salem residents also have voiced thejr opposition to indiscriminate establishment of churches in residential areas, on grounds of the noise and conges tion which might result In the taxpayers meeting on the $1,090,000 city budget for 1947-48, now drafted in final ordinance form, trie matter ol a proposed new city restaurant in spector is due for rexiew. inly has been sufficient Although the budget commit- need exists fnr both a tee last month deleted the I2.F.03 i tei taut ant inspector and for salary item provided for a res taurant inspector in addition lo present city sanitary ln;ector Batty Cooper, the county-city health depailment under Dr. W.

The budret calls for a $470,000 tax levy, slightly under last year's levy. Another matter rf consider able public inteieM whuti may come to a head at Monday's council session is the city administration's plan for a downtown bus term inal on the High sU-eet parking In front of the Mai ion county court house. Under the plan, the city council would be called upon to permit Oregon Motor Stages, operator of city bus lines, to erect a waiting ' en Is express their room building tn the part of the traffic congestion strett now lying between the curb and sidewalk.
