New recreation areas are need
ed by Salem, Engineer C. A. Mc
CIure reported to the city's long
range planning commission Tues
day night in a preliminary digest
of his recreational purvey under
taken at the behest! jff Salem or
ganizaitons which farmed the Sa
lem Hecreation assciation.
McClure's report jnotes that Sa
lem area papulation is increasing
faster than facilities can be made
available for a public recreation
program and that fcity parks are
not adequate for active recrea
tion. He advises early acquisition
of public recreation sites while
desirable tracts are available.
Survey Incomplete!
When the full survey is com
pleted, it will be submitted to the
Salem Recreation association, the
commission indicated.
Other highlights) of the survey
digest issued by McCIure:
The school boaipd is willing to
conduct recreation programs that
can be financed. Legislative au
thority should permit school dig
tricts to levy a tax exclusively for
recreation purposes.
YMCA Is well equipped but
does not have decentralization of
facilities necessary for city wide
recreation requirements.
Asks Charges Reduced
Reduction or elimination of
charges for aduit night classes
would result in greater interest in
such school in fof both recreation
and education, j
Commercial recreation activities
cover wide field in Salem, but
most of them closed to minors.
About 35 per cent of Salem
area population under age 25 and
trend is even larger percentage
in younger age groups by 1950.

U. S., British Plan
Ruhr Coal Step-Up
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 -4V
The United States and Britain
agreed today to consider all prob
lems directly bearing upon in
creasing coal production in Ger
many's Ruhr, valley in an effort to
fire Europe's recovery.
As the Anglo-American talks
got under way, chiefs of both del
egations gingerly sidestepped any
commitment on possible socializa
tion of the mines, but did not rule
out the chance that such an ulti
mate step, as urged by Britain,
would be considered.
