November 12, 1947 Inflation Dogs City Dog Pound The high price of dogfood is a sore spot witn uity rouna master Joe Irish. "Just can't feed 20 or 25 dogs and break even any more," Irish bemoaned Friday 'as he com mented on the latest increase of from $9.40 to $10 for a hundred pounds of dogfood. The poundmaster's plea is not without proper attention, how ever, as city legislation ia in the hopper for Monday night to in crease fees charged for claiming impounded dogs. Proposed new fee schedule is $2 for first impounding and $4 for subsequent im poundings of same dog, plus 50 cents per day for the dog's "keep" in the pound. After five days a dog may be claimed by any person willing to put up the fee, subject to future claim by the dog's owner. The owner then would have to pay the 50 cents per day charge in ad dition to the fee. Present fees are $1 for dogs and $2 for pups (which require milk and. special food).

Secretary 6f State Earl T. Newbry disclosed Friday. Newbry said he was studying the plan which, if adopted, would eliminate the annual congestion and confusion caused each year when 400,000 Oregon automobile owners apply for new license plates. The plan, similar to the present system of staggering issuance of driven' licenses, was under con sideration by the late Secretary of State Robert S. Farrell, jr., but he had not concluded his study at the time of his death. - . If the plan is approved, each li cense plate would carry a prefix letter designating the month on which the license would be re newed. At the time of renewal a small insert plate bearing the li cense number of the car would be issued and attached to the per manent plate. Newbry said he 'has sent out questionnaires to firms to determ ine the cost of heavy plates ne cessary to make the permanent plates if they are to withstand long usage. Either steel or aluminum will be used to make the plates. Newbry said. f Silent Guest9 r Aid Program Set for Oregon Gov. John Hall anounced Fri day that his office is cooperating with other governors throughout the nation in the "American silent guest committee" program of shar ing food during the holiday sea son. The plan, originated by Gov. Robert F. Bradford of Massachu setts, chairman of the committee, calls for each governor to urge citizens of his state to share their Thanksgiving plenty with a "si lent guest" This is to be accom plished by voluntary contributions amounting to the cost of the Thanksgiving dinner which would be received in each state by the governor's office and then for warded to the national headquar ters at Pilgrim hall, Plymouth, Mass. CARE, a non - profit govern ment - approved organization, has been chosen to handle the funds thus raised and will guarantee de livery of a dinner to a needy Eur opean person for each contribu tion made. Governor Hall designated his secretary, Eric Allen, jr., as tem porary custodian of the funds in OregpHf prior to their being sent to Rational headquarters. Contri butions should be mailed directly toAuen at the executive depart ment here. ENDS .TODAY! (SaL) jimmy Cagney "FRISCO KID" Smiley Bernette "code or THE rRAIRHr Cont. from 1 F. M. Tomorrow!

Meyers Probe f Girl Friend' Charge Denied WASHINGTON, Nov. Sl-fctV Bleriot H. Lamarre, husband of the young woman named by Ma j. Gear. Bennett E. Meyer as his "girl friend, asked the senate war in vestigating committee today to make the retired general "crawl out of this room on his belly like the snake he is." "I don't believe there are any words in the English language," said the young, former president of Aviation Electric Co., in cold. slow tones, "to describe the depth to which he has sunk. This was a reference to Meyers' testimony of yesterday that he set up the electric company, a war time subcontractor, because Mrs. Lamarre had been his "girl friend" with her husband's approval. (In Cincinnati, Lamarre's moth er-in-law, Mrs. Mildred Readnow- er, said in ah interview that her daughter told her by long distance phone today that Meyers' charges are "absolutely untrue" and that she "never was out with him alone in her life ") Counties Group Hears-Wharton PORTLAND, Ndv. 21 -V?V A state tax commissioner told the Association of Oregon Counties' convention today that the public should be educated "at least to the level where they no longer believe in Santa Claus." At present, said Wallace S. Wharton, people apparently do they call for more government services, but demand reduction of the taxes necessary to pay for such services. Wharton recommended educat ing the public on fiscal matters, and, also, equalizing real and per sonal property assessments to dis tribute the tax load fairly. C. L. Allen, Bend, county Judge of Deschutes county, was elected president of the counties associa tion; Allen P. Wheeler, Lane coun ty commissioner, vice president; and Roy J. Rice, Salem, was re elected seeretary-treasurer. r f PHONE S467 MATINEE DAILY FEOM 1P.M. f PBEVUE TOIIITE! (One Fealnre) MID STADTIIIG T0II0QO0W! ...iiS?B4l..... - - R .rn7 r--:tiiis LJ " - ess .

WITH THE IN HIS FIRST SLEUTH Infantry Chorus Merits Praise; First of Winter Concert Series By Maxine Bare - Friday night's concert of DePaur's Infantry chorus was an aus picious beginning for the series of artist concerts being brought to Salem by the Community Concert association. The audience sat spell bound through the program, and went away a little bit dazed from sheer enjoyment. The 35 negro veterans, under the sensitive direction of Leonard dePaur, who trained and led them through, three years of American and Overseas singing for the armed forces, sang as no men's chorus has ever before sung here. The program though beautifully balanced, was for the roost pact serious. The opening group was by contemporary composers and in cluded three chorales from the writings of Rabindranath Tagore, and arranged for the chorus by the composer, Paul Creston. The folk song group, including a lilting Mexican love song, an Argentine number sung in Span ish with tenor solo, and two Calypsos, one a mourning song from the French West Indies and the second from Trinidad in which the baritone soloist, with fine voice and broad smile, admonish ed his listeners, as insurance for a happy life to marry woman "uglier than you." The group featuring songs of the World War included the pop ular "I've Got Sixpence," a tale of a French partisan, a stirring marching song of the Chinese, "Meadowland," in which they out Russiaed the Don Cossacks, and the haunting song of "Roger Young." Then came a group of negro spirituals and working songs Jn which the singers put their souls. "Ezekial Saw de Wheel," "Deep River" with bass solo. "Listen to the Lambs" with tenor ..solo and Water Boy" with bass solo, the only number which was repeated. and two work songs of the chain gangs. - The final group, just as stirring and beautifully executed, were four songs of faith. "O Kindly Jesus" , sung in Latin; "Eli - Hi," ancient Hebrew invocation; a fam ous chant of the Russian orthodox James Davis, Ex-Secretary Of Labor, Dies WASHINGTON, Nov. 22 -WV Jamea J. Davia, former U. S. sen ator from Pennsylvania and oat time secretary of labor, died ear ly today in a suburban Washing ton hospital. "Puddler Jim," a nickname which stemmed from his early days as a steel mifl worker and union leader, was secretary of la bor under Presidents Harding, Coolidge and Hoover. 800 Attend Rites For Willarcl Marks ALBANY.

Scott a ADYBITliri OF la TROPICAL TECHNICOLOR! NEW OIANw ROLE. VSJto taOEES at 2 church, and finally an especially arranged version of Malotte's be loved "The Lord's Prayer." It could not have ' been sung more beautifully. . Two encores were finally sung, "Honor, Honor Unto Thy Dying Lamb" by Hall Johnson, and "The Star Spangled Banner," , which closed the concert. Like Orchestra Director , The arrangements, mostly by de Paur, were unusual. The sing ers responded to every movement of the conductor's h new it. He had a distinct style in his directing. more like the conductor of an orchestra- than a chorus. Accompanying parts to soloists sounded very much like an or chestra "with subtle shading and rich tones. One of the many out standing features of the singing were the falsettos, so perfect in tone and quality that they sound ed more like beautiful soprano voices. Though trained with military precision, tne singers were un usually warm, the conductor re served but gracious.. CaareUashl Aaaetta L. MeCetekeea tioticb or ials or stai PEOrEBTT (Na.
