Stars to Testify
At Red Hearing
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 -(Jf)-Jack
Warner, nice president of the
company that filmed "Mission to
Moscow," was billed today at wit

mittee on unamerican activities
starts hearings Monday on com

The movie stars come along lat

to be the biggest show of the fall
investigating season. No feminine
stars have been tapped to testify.
But the witness list has names like
Robert Taylor, Gary Cooper, Rob

Right from the start, the com

questions and answers whether the
movie capital is infested with reds.
Church to Build
On Present Site
St. Paul's Episcopal church con
gregation has abandoned a plan
to build a new church on another
site in favor of a proposal to
eventually construct a $150,000
structure at the site of the pres
ent church at Chemeketa and
Church streets.
The Rev. George H. Swift, pas
tor, said that last week approxi
mately 03 per cent of the con
gregation voted in favor of the
new plan. The church had pur
chased a site at Capitol and Cen

but this property was sold re
cently in connection with the pro

Greyhound Bus
Depot Given
Top Priority
Plans for construction of Paci
fic Greyhound Lines' new $200,
000 bus terminal In Salem were
discussed here Saturday by F. W.
Ackerman, company president
from San Francisco, and local
Greyhound officials.
Bids on the new terminal, site
lor which has already been clear
ed on North Church street be
tween Center and Marion streets,
will be opened between Decem
ber 15 and January '1, Ackerman
said. Overall size of the building
will be 168 by 133 feet.
The new depot will provide en
larged facilities for convenience
of passengers and greater space
for boarding and leaving buses,
Ackerman declared. There will be
space to load and unload six buses
at a time. In addition the new
terminal will provide a large
waiting room, a restaurant and
rest rooms.
"The importance of Salem in
western travel has made this new
Greyhound depot a project of top
priority," Ackerman said. "It will
be one of the finest equipped and
most modern depots in the west
The Salem depot is part of a Grey
hound program to completely
modernize the system's terminal
facilities throughout the nation."

Town for Sale in
Northern Oregon
PRESCOTT, Ore., Oct. 18-6P-The
town of Prescott, located on
the Columbia river four " miles
above Rainier, was placed on sale
today.
The Prescott Lumber company,
which bought the town-33 houses,
a store, an office, and a dock
last year, said it wanted to aban
don the place as the result of a
mill fire.
But it's not certain that any
one can buy the whole town. Some
of the residents, who have lived
here for 30 years, are planning to
buy their own houses and stay.

Recording
- CHICAGO, Oct 18 - (ff) -James
C. Petrillo announced to
day that union musicians would
be barred from making any rec
ords or radio transcriptions after
December 31, but recording in
dustry sources said they antici
pated the move and had enough
unfinished records to last from one
to two years.
The fiery boss of the AFL
Federation of Musicians said his
225,000 members were "destroy
ing themselves" by making rec
ords and transcriptions and added,
"There will never be any more
phonograph records or transcripts
made by members of the musicians
union."
The ban, which Petrillo said was
voted unanimously by the union's
executive board in a closed ses
sion, brought a quick reaction
from trade sources in the in
dustry. Companies Well-Stocked
"The big three Columbia,
RCA-Victor and Decca tiave
been making records so rapidly
in recent months, both here and
abroad, that they can continue to
issue records for at least two
years," said one man in New York
long associated with the industry
Another spokesman pointed out
that the major producers have
had access to music for Hollywood
musical production which will not
be released until next year, and
that master recordings of the mu
sic already have been made for
future record sales.
Ignores Backlog
"I don't care if they have a
backlog for five years. Let them
use them. We will stop making
records and all transcriptions
December 31." Transcriptions
were described ai those for both
home and commercial use.
However, Petrillo said the ban
also would end "canned" shows
being turned out by the networks
and this posed a different prob
lem. These so called "canned" pro
grams are produced expressly for
radio broadcast and are not for
sale to the public.
County Roads
In f Good Shape'
Except Santiam
All 1,268 miles of Marion coun
ty roads are in good shape with
the exception of the North San
tiam highway, which, however, is
still "Just passable," Marion Coun
ty Commissioner Roy Rice said
Saturday.
In fact, he said the most exten
sive county road repair program
since before the war, undertaken
this past summer, has brought the
roads up to their best condition
in several years, he said.
Recent rains, he said, have not
harmed the roads, and no serious
flooding has been reported. With
the softening of the road surfaces,
the county's 800 miles of graveled
roads are now being graded by
eight graders.
Commissioner Rice advised mo
torists to use the South Santiam
highway when traveling in that
area. Small slides in the section
under construction on the North
Santiam highway have hamper
ed traffic in general, while con
struction alone has forced con
trolled traffic at some points.
High water has put the county's
three Willamette river ferries
Wheatland, Independence and
Buena vista out of commission.
The county court said Saturday
that predicted lower waters may
place the crafts back in service
this week.

Marshall A id BoostEyed
U.S. Said Able
To Give Europe
$20 Billion
WASHINGTON. ' Oct. 18 - VP)
Administration officials said today
this country may have to increase
rather than cut the $22,400,000,000
total of European requests under
the Marshall plan.
At the present stage of study,
they emphasized this is only a
possibility but one which is caus
ing njuch concern to federal finan
cial experts trying to reduce the
cost before offering the program
to an economy-seeking congress.
Overestimated Exports
These officials, who withheld
the use of their names, told a re
porter that they fear the 16 west
ern European nations have over
estimated their ability to increase
their own exports in the four-year
period concerned, and are over
optimistic in foreseeing a 12? per
cent drop in UJS. prices. Such a
drop would better the buying
power of their scant supplies of
dollars.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 - (JP)
Secretary of the Interior Krug in

that the United States could car
ry out a $20,000,000,000 program
of aid for western Europe without
seriously draining its resources.

Such a program, said Krug,
would pay for iteelf in speeding
up imports to this country, and it
would help knock the world econ
omy off the dead-center upon
which 1 he said it has become
stalled.
But the venture cannot succeed,
Krug added, unless Americans co

Cooperation of Townspeople
Asked in Taking School Census
Cooperation of ' Salem school
district residents in the approach
ing school census was requested
Saturday in a statement by Sup
erintendent Frank B. Bennett,
who said complete information
was essential to the district's fu
ture building plans and to enable
Salem to receive all state funds
to which it is entitled.
The census will include all chil
dren who will not have attained
their 20th birthday as of October
25, whether or not residing at
home and whether or not mar
ried. Only those above 4 years
of age will be included for pur
poses of financial reimbursement,
but the statistics on all ages will
be employed in determining var
ious areas' needs as to present
and future school facilities.
Taking of such a survey was
authorized by the school board
last Tuesday upon Bennett's rec
ommendation, after preliminary
figures showed a rapidly rising
birth rate which is expected to
be reflected in greatly increased
school enrollment, especially in
grade schools. The board's plans

Arrests Impractical
'Amusement Only' Devices Operating
By Les Cour
Staff Writer, The Statesman
Marion county Sheriff Denver
Young informed The Statesman
Saturday that he realized that
"amusement only" devices were
operating throughout the county
and the entire state, but added
that past experiences had taught
law officers their confiscation and
subsequent prosecution resulted
only in false arrest suits and court
reversals.
Young made his statement in
connection with reports circulated
Saturday which asserted that gam
bling machines were operating

French Plane Plunges
Into Sea; 41 Persons Die
PARIS. Oct 1 a-OTVForty-ons persons were believed today to
have been killed in the crash of a French plane in the Mediterranean
sea. ,
The company operating the plane said two persons, the pilot
and another crew member, had been rescued. The French navy
ministry said 11 bodies had been recovered. The plane was carrying
43 passengers and crew.
A search by military planes, a
submarine and surface craft
failed to disclose any signs of ad

which occurred yesterday while
the plane was en route from Mar
seille to Or so, Algeria.
The company, a small airline
called Compagnie des Transports
Aeriens Intercontinentaux (Inter
continental Air Transport Co.),
said it had -little hope" of saving
any more of the crew of five and
38 passengers.
Yesterday it had announced
that everyone was safe, but otday
the company said it was unable to
give an explanation of a telegram
received from the air transport
control reporting all aboard had

Children will also be asked to

Reds Boycott
Test Vote on
Little Assembly
LAKE SUCCESS, Oct 18 -VFT-Soviet
Russia and her satellites to
day boycotted the first test vote
on Secretary of State Marshall's
proposal to overhaul United Na
tions machinery and indirectly
served notice they would refuse to
sit in a year-around assembly even
if approved by a majority of the
members.
The ballot on referring the Mar
shall proposal to a drafting sub
committee was 38 to 0 with Rus
sia, White Russia, Soviet Ukraine,
Poland, Yugoslavia and Czechoslo
vakia refusing to vote. Four Arab
nations abstained.
A moment later the assembly's
57-nation political committee voted
membership on the sub-committee
to Russia, Czechoslovakia and 13
other nations. The Russians and
Czechs immediately announced
that they would not participate
even in drafting work because the
whole plan was "illegal."
Asked whether these steps
meant that Russia would refuse
even to sit in the "little assembly"
envisaged -by Marshall, a Soviet
spokesman said today's action
could be "compared" to the Creek
