The. death of John G. Winant
removes a singular, rather Lin
colnesque figure from the politit
cal scene. Whether the contradic-
lions of his personal and political
career offer any explanation for
his final act of self-destruction is
doubtful. Yet it is hard to under
stand why one so able, with so
satisfying a record of attainment
and accomplishment should end
his own life.
A republican, possessed of con
siderable personal wealth, he
look his place among advocates
r of economic reforms and got most
1 of his recognition from the new
; deal administration. A man well
born, educated in the pest schools
(St Paul's and Princeton), with
excellent social connections he
failed utterly to conform to the
mold of his class. His hair was
tousled, his clothes ill-fitting; he
was shy and diffident. Yet he had
a heart which beat warmly for
suffering humanity' and burn
ing zeal for improving conditions
of living for the people. I
Elected three times governor -of
Mew Hampshire, he was talked
of as a republican candidate; for
president in 1938, but instead of
making the race he eccepted ap-
- pointment under President Roose
velt as chairman of the social se-
, curity board. In 1937 he went to
- Geneva to head the International
Labor office, an agency of the
League of Nations. On the eve
of the war he was appointed am
bassador to Great Britain and
served, in that capacity through
the war period. After the war
he accepted the responsibility of
organizing UNESCO, the econom
, ic and social council of the Unit'
ed Nations, holding the chairman
ship long enough to effect its or
ganization. His short period of re
tirement was given to writing his
memoirs,. This task done, weary
In body and mind, he shot him
self. The manner of his going should
not obscure the significant facts
.! about his career or distort the
: picture of a man of deep sin
cerity of purpose, who burned
himself out in service to his fel-i
low-men, driven by sympathy
for the weak and oppressed.
$53 Million
3-Year Plan j
For Roads Set
- The $53,500,000 to be spent dur
ing the next three years improv
ing Oregon's highways, is only
part of the contemplated $500,
000,000 which the state highway
commission estimates is required
to complete and maintain the
state highway system.
In a progress report released
Tuesday the commission said that
$43,500,000 representing state and.
federal aid money was now avail
able. The remaining $10,000,000 is
to come from forest highways
funds, which have not yet been
released by the government
The federal aid funds are in
three categories:
Funds for primary federal-aid
ays in both rural and urban
covering system of 3,933
and aggregating $19,500,-
funds for the secondary sys-
f state and county roads in
volving 4,410 miles and $12,750,-
000; urban-funds for use in cities
of more than 5,000 population on
federal aid routes, $4,750,000. !
Of the $37,000,000, approximate
- ly $21,250,000 represents federal
funds and $15,750,000 state funds.
The slate projects, amounting to
$6,500,000 involve small projects
scattered over the state. Up to the
present time, according to the re
' port the commission has contract
ed aproximately $26,500,000 of
the $43,500,000 available.
On a percentage basis, with re
lation to the contracting of post
war '"highway projects, Oregon is
among the first 10 of the 43 states,
the commission reported. ,
In the meantime, the commis
sion said, approximately $7,000,
000 is being expended annually; in
the maintenance or upkeep of the

Burned -Out Firms Seek
New Downtown Quarters
-' - ' ' '-!'.''"'
The burned-out Guardian building remained a busy , place Tues
day, as former occupants spent the day after the $500,000 fire sal
vaging what they could from the wreckage.
With trucks coming and going all day to remove what remained
of furniture, equipment and office records from many of the offices,
traffic was still upset at the busy State and Liberty streets corner.
Insurance adjusters, city fire
department officials and inspec
tors of the. state fire marshal's of
fice started going through the
building, but their investigations
were barely underway.
Fire Chief W. P. Roble said he
and state inspectors would begin
examining charred rubble in the
basement today, with representa
tives on hand for all offices from
where equipment, ' law libraries
and furniture had dropped to the
basement on the most-burned east
side of the building along the
light well where the fire had
sprung from the basement about
7 a.m. Monday. ; .
No Indication of Cause
There was still no indication of
the cause of the blaze, Roble said.
Salem Chamber of Commerce
received numerous offers of space
in downtown and outer Salem,
ranging from small parts of pres
ent offices to whole floors and
buildings, and the burned-out
professional and service . firms
were using the leads in search of
suitable space. :
The eye-ear-nose-throat clinic
began relocating in the Nelson
building and the general doctors'
clinic in Salem General and Dea
coness hospitals. Salem Federal
and other ground floor offices
were, already operating in the old
Firs National bank space.
City Attorney Moves
City Attorney Chris Kowitz was
getting established in city hall and
Realtor P. H. Bell had moved to
261 Chemeketa st. The Riggs Op
tical Co., still unlocated, was , us
ing telephone service at Boring's
Optical, phone 6506. The Beauty
Box found most of its equipment
salvageable, but as yet'unlocated.
Fire; Chief Roble voiced high
praise of his firemen Tuesday, ex
pressing satisfaction that they had
confined the huge blaze to the
east side of the building. Offices
on the west side of the Guardian
building suffered most from
smoke and water.
Added Firemen Needed
Roble added .however, that the
largo downtown fire demonstrat
ed this city's need for additional
firemen. He noted that such fires
require the use of many hoses,
each of which must be manned by
a crew, while other firemen have
other duties to perform.
A fireman crew remained on
constant watch over the building,
to detect any recurrence' of blaze
from hidden smolders in the
building, such as occurred Mon
day midnight
Meanwhile, city firemen made
three runs again Tuesday, two of
them in downtown Salem where
small fires resulted from a short
circuit in John .and Mildred's cafe
on State street and from welding
operations at a garage at High
and Ferry streets, both around
noon.. Shortly after 9 a.m., firemen
extinguished a' chimney fire at
325 S. Winter st

'Assured'
Continued progress in Oregon's
current institution building pro
gram appears evident with Secre
tary of State Earl T. IN'ewbry's
declaration Tuesday that there
will be no slow-down so far as
he is concerned. Newbry, newest
member of the state board of con
trol, said operation of all divi
sions of his department were go
ing ahead on a near normal basis,
including employes' paychecks
scheduled for today. i
Gov. John Hall, as a member of
the state emergency board which
has passed on a number of in
stitution building contracts, has
been a consistent supporter of the
building program. State Treasurer
Leslie M. Scott, only continuing
member of the previous board of
control, also voted for ! virtually
all contracts awarded, the record

Newby said the 6.000 October

Snling on Legality
The attorney "general's
office
averred there were n bars to
Newbry's appointment.! Rumors
had questioned its legality, based
upon a constitutional 4 provision
that no legislator can f accept an
office whose salary was increased
during the term in which he serv
ed. The 1947 legislature J in which
Newbry was a senator, raised the
secretary of state's salary from
$4,500 to $7,500- per year.
The ruling pointed out that the
constitution adds "But this latter
provision shall not be construed
to apply to any office elective by
the peopje."
Newbry plans to leave for his
home in Ashland tonight and re
turn to Salem Sunday

Power in Kentucky
Mississippi Shies from Race Issue
Kentucky democrats put on a steady i comeback drive in yester
day's elections to build up a heavy margin of votes for their candi
date for governor. '
With nearly half the votes in, democrat Earle C. Clements
rolled up more than a four to three edge over republican Eldon S.
Dummit.
i, Dummit was so far behind that
GOP national committeeman Jou
ett Ross Todd predicted in Louis
ville that the democrats had car
ried the state by 40,000. Before the
election he had forecast a republi
can win by 30,000 to 50,000 votes.
And down the line is Mississip
pi, a hot three-cornered race de
veloped for the senate seat of the
late Thedore Bilbo ( champion of
"white supremacy, Circuit Judge
John C. Stennis, who shied away
from the race issue in his cam
paign, swung into an early, skimpy
lead and held it through - more
than half the ballot counting. Last
in a field of five democrats trotted
U.S. Representative John E. Ran
kin, who had boasted he could
"out-Bilbo Bilbo."
Major Attractions
' The Kentucky gubernatorial
contest and the Mississippi senate
fight were the major attractions
of off-year elections scattered
across the country.
In three races for vacant con
gressional seats, normally repub
lican districts in Ohio and Indiana
gave early leads to republican
candidates. And a Brooklyn dis
trict which has been democratic
for 2S years elected democrat Ab
raharij J. Multer to the house.
Scrap Constitution '
The New Jersey electorate voted
enthusiastically to scrap their
103-year-old state constitution and
substitute a new one.
Philadelphia reelected a repub
lican mayor. Waterbury, Conn.,
put in a republican mayor for
the first time since 1921.
But democrats took their turn
at an upset in Indianapolis. They
also upset republican administra
tions in Evansville, Muncie, Lou
isville and Fort Wayne, Ind. Re
