The return of Armistice day, the
anniversary of the truce of Nov.
11, 1918, brings less of elation and
the spirit of celebration than did
the original event or the subse
quent observances up to 1939. In
stead there is a certain sense of
failure because the "war to end
all wars" didn't avert another
world conflict.
The consequence is a degree of
fatalism among the people, an ac
ceptance of the idea that another
war is inevitable. People had their
fingers crossed, in doubt when the
United Nations was formed, be
cause of the pripr collapse of the
league of nations. That skepticism
has grown as the world has ap
peared to fall apart and the meet
ings of the organization become
forums for angry contention.
Again w hear: "We won the
war but lost the peace." The pre
vailing mood is one of pessimirm.
' Admittedly there is little ground
for radiant hope or optimism. Be
hind the angry words are stiff
wills and haunting fears. The gulf
between east and west is deep, the
friction at specific points gener
ates real heat.
Yet the sober conclusion of those
best informed is that war is noi
imminent, that at closest it is 10
to 20 years away. The United
States certainly is not disposed to
provoke war; and pussia, accord

Annual n j
By Robert E. Gangware
City Editor, The Statesman
Plans to alleviate North Capitol street traffic bottlenecks are in
the offing, but remain "in the thinking stage" in the city administra
tion, was disclosed in Salem city council discussion Monday night
at city hall. "
City Manager J. L. Franzen envisioned the prospect of develop
ing a fourrlane through highway from the underpass in north Salem
to the 12th street cutoff, generally paralleling the Southern Pacific
mainline tracks east of the Pacific highway section now on North
Capitol street.
A strip of land along most of the railroad right-of-way is now
lowned by Southern Pacific Rail
road company which has : hinted
it might be agreeable to letting
the city acquire it for highway
purposes, according to Franzen,
who added that any such plan
would require a new traffic ar
rangement at the congested inter-'
section of 12th and State streets.
Widening Sought
This possibility emerged after
Alderman Albert H. Gille pro
posed a renewal of city negotia
tions with the state highway com
mission for a joint city-state plan
to widen North Capitol street
from Court to Union streets be
fore the proposed $2,000,000 re
tail center in that vicinity is com
pleted. Franzen said he had con
sulted earlier in the day with
state highway department chiefs
who "are still not interested in
such a widening." Other alder
men remarked that earlier plans
to widen North Capitol street had
met opposition because the state
had under consideration highway
relocation and because residents
did not want the old oak frees in
the parking along Capitol street
north of Union removed. )
Definite impetus was given to
another city manager's proposal
for facilitating city expansion in
the future when the council au
thorized Franzen to negotiate a
contract for citv 'Durchase of 5.85
facres of level ground south of
Mission street between 20th and
22nd streets for locating city stor
age buildings. Franzen said the
land could be purchased at $1,000
an acre and four surplus army
barracks from the airport could
be moved to the site at reasonable
cost.
Relocation Provided .
Such storage space for city
equipment and supplies used only
in certain seasons (cement mix
ers," forms, sand and gravel, for
example) would make room in
presently overcrowded city shops
for more maintenance work and
necessary "odd Jobs," the mana
ger stated.
An ordinance was adopted to
provide for temporary relocation
of up to two years in residential
zones by offices destroyed by fire,
flood or earthquake. This was
recommended by the city plan
ning and zoning commission at
the behest of several persons
whose professional offices were
destroyed last week in the Guar
dian building fire.
Franchises Offered
Legislation was introduced for
enfranchising Oregon : Motor
Stages' city bus lines and Salem
Electric and for establishing 50-
foot setback lines for South Com
mercial street south ofJHoyt
street. These bills will come up
for final action at the next coun
cil meeting, November 24, when
public hearing also 'will be held
on the setback ordinance. ;-
For Salem Electric, a local co
operative which distributes Bon
neville power and now depends
upon city permits for each pole
line established, two bills were
brought in, both "by request."
City Manager Franzen submitted
a limited franchise bill covering
only the cooperative's service to
present customers and Alderman
Gille a general franchise bill. Sev
eral Hollywood district residents
filed a petition for Salem Elec
tric service last night
Attorney Fred Williams regis
tered a verbal protest to the pro
posed bus franchise and said he
would bring a signed petition of
opposition at the next meeting. He
asserted present bus service, on
which the franchise is based, is
unsatisfactory to many bus riders.

time contract with him.
Further, Hughes told senators
on the war investigating commit
tee, n Meyers wanted Hughes to
guarantee him against losing mon
ey on the bond transaction.
Meyers, seated nearby, snorteM
angrily as Hughes told his story.
Hughes said his refusal to lend
the $200,000 "resulted in a com-

Jap Mines
Hunted
On Coast
ASTORIA, Ore., Nov. lO.-tVP)-Coast
guard cutters and planes
searched the Pacific today for
floating Japanese mines sighted
in the busy sea lanes off the west
coast
Four mines were reported sight
ed off the California coast near the
Golden Gate and two others are
known to be floating off the Ore
gon coast where a navy explosives
officer early this morning detona
ted two that had washed onto the
beaches.
The coast guard reported that
13 of the Japanese wartime ex
plosives, which have floated across
the North Pacific with the Japan
current have been sighted or de
stroyed in the Oregon-Washington
coastal area since November 1. Au
thorities believe1 there are many
others in the sea lanes.
The cutter Bonham searched
waters off Yaquina bay. Ore., to
day for a mine that fishing boat
crews had spotted yesterday and
then lost in the night The cutter
McLane is en route to a point 41
miles off Cascade Head - - 70 miles
south of here - - where another
was located today.
A coast guard spokesman for the
13th naval district headquarters at
Seattle indicated the shipping
lanes off the American coast will
be menaced for "some time to
come."
"These mines were hot intended
to be the floating type,'' the
spokesman said. "But because the
Japanese charted their positions
inaccurately when they planted
them, or the devices drifted their
anchors, our navy has not been
able to locate them."
Lt (jg) Don Winslow, navy
mine disposal officer, exploded
them with slow-fused dynamite.

Risks in
Recovery
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 -4Jpy-Secretary
of State Marshall sol
emnly urged congress today to take
the "real risks" of helping "pre-
trate" Europe at a cost of $8,097,
000,000 in the next 19 months
and more billions later.
Marshall told members of the
senate and house foreign affairs
committees the need 'is real and it
is urgent" for:
"Speedy" action on an emergen
cy fund of $597,000,000 to enable
France, Italy and Austria to "sur
vive" through March 31.
Another $7,500,000,000 for the
following 15 months to start a
"world recovery program" in 16
western European nations. Over
four years the cost might soar to
$18,000,000,000 or 20,000,000,000,
he said.
Appreval Vpieed
He spoke just a week before
congress meets in a special session
to tackle European aid and domes
tic inflation. Some key memberi of
the senate and house committees
quickly chorused a measure of ap
proval of the general ideas Mar
shall offered. But they said they '
want all the facts.
Rep. Eaton (R-NJ) chairman of
the house foreign affairs commit
tee, told reporters that plans are
v uiuvuun u emergency Dili
next Monday and have it ready
for the house by Wednesday.
Marshall made it clear that only
opposition can be expected from
Russia, even though the program
"menaces no one" and "pursues no
sinister purpose."
"RWks Are steal
"The risks ere real., he said.
"They are, however, risks which
have been carefully calculated,
and I. believe the chances of sue-
cess are. good.
Marshall presented a proposed
bill to authorize the $597,000,000
emergency appropriation. It calls
for agreements with France, Italy '
ana Austria whicn would require
"full and continuous publicity" as
to the purpose, source, character
and amounts of good made avail
able. While help for Europe is vitaL
the secretary said, there is "deep
concern" over conditions in Chi
na, saying a definite proposal for
economic aid to the Chinese gov
ernment and people will be of
fered to congress soon.
Greece Aided
By Fund, But
Scene fDark9
WASHINGTON. Nov. 10-OP1-
President Truman said today that
American aid has kept Greece
"still free," but that the overall
military picture has darkened be
cause of support thrown to com
munist-led guerrillas by Greece s
northern neighbors.
In his first report to congress f.
on the $400,000,000 Greek-Turkish
aid program, Mr. Truman
made these points:
1. There are no U. S. combat-'
troops in Greece.
2. To restore order, "reliance
must be placed" on creation of
a United Nations commission
"which can effectively seal the
Greek , border aggainst assistance
to the guerrillas from Greece's
northern neighbors" Yugoslavia,
Bulgaria and Albania.
"All of the elements for Greek
recovery are now present and can
begin to be operative once inter
nal order is established. If order
can be restored, there is every
reason to be optimistic about the
recovery of Greece. If order is not
restored, there can be no recov
ery." The report disclosed that up to
September 30, only about 5 per
cent of the $300,000,000 allotted
to Greece and only an infinitesi
mal part of Tirrkey's $100,000,000
