Wallace has announced his intentions for , 1948, agreeing, as was forecast, to be a candidate for president on an In dependent ticket, the spotlight will turn on other not -yet -declared possible candidates for the office. President Truman has made no formal announcement but that he will seek to succeed himself is a foregone conclusion. Likewise Governor Dewey is in the race on the-republican side, so far with out benefit of declaration. The real enigma is Gen. D. D. Eisen hower, whose protests against politics have never shut the door gainst accepting a-nomination. General MacArthur is still a pos sibility though little is being done, at least so far as is visible, either by him or for him to win the nom ination. Of Eisenhower the United States News "answers the question, "Will he run?": thus: The answer is obviously yes." It comments that most politicians and political ob servers consider him as much- a candidate t the moment as Taft or Dewey and observes that "his statements disavowing political- ambitions have grown less em phatic as the months have passed.

"The men had been given a few seconds warning and were braced for the impact, so fortunately none of us was badly hurt. After every one got out the front of the plane began to burn and was destroyed, along with the bulk of our emer gency supplies. "Fortunately ' we had some food and medical equipment in the back end and got by all right un til we were rescued. We threw a canvas tarpaulin over the tail end of the plane and managed to build a fire which we kept going inter mittently." !- 5 Able U Walk When the six survivors were brought to Nome, five of them were able to hobble into ambulan ces.

Dec. 2 9-OTVEx -Governor Oswald West invaded the state highway commission meeting Oregon may lose title to its whole property He asserted that if the commission allows xacnats beacn sand to be removed for construction, be in private ownership within a year." West governor from '1911 to 1915. was protesting a permit is sued by the commission to allow a private contractor to remove the sand, which is of a type useful in cement-making. The last legisla ture gave the commission author ity to issue such permits. Aims at Baldock Shaking a finger at State High way Engineer R. H. Baldock, the former governor said, "Baldock is not going to strike a pick in that beach or he will unleash a chain of circumstances which will stran gle him." I know more about the title to the (beach) land than anyone on earth," he said, adding that he had framed the original statute which- made the beach public property. He said he could not disclose his information "without tipping the hand of the state to adverse interests," but would put it in a letter to be given to the commis sion and opened upon West's death. "As long as God gives me breath, nobody is going to remove a shovelful of sand, a shoveful of rocks from those beaches,"' West said. Contractor Denies Loss L. M. Christensen, Yachats con tractor who got the permit said 400,000 yards of beach sand were removed previously .for building of Waldport. Tenmile and New port bridges without appreciable diminishment of the beach sand. Baldock. singled out by West in the attack, later protested to news men that he had nothing to do with the legislative act or with the granting of the permit west said State Sen. Douglas McKay, candidate jfor republican nomination for governor and chairman of , senate roads and highways committee, had informed him the bill originated with the highway commission. The com mission's attorney, J. R. Devers, said, however, that the measure was drafted by the highway de partment legal staff at request of two senators and the Oregon Coast Highway association.

' r In explaining this paradox, the state unemployment compensation commission blamed it. mostly on the county's "growing pains." A steady in-migration of workers from other states, increased wages together with more liberal sea sonal work benefits and contin ued rise of new businesses are on ly part of the pictufe. j Total covered payroll during the past year reached a precedent breaking peak of $36,000,000, a goodi $4,500,000 more than 1946 salaries.

Dec. 29-UPy- Greece formally charged Yugosla via today with violating the "anti warmonger" resolution adopted by the United Nations assembly at its recent session. .This was the first time a mem ber of the U.

Plans Speeded For Structure If plans and specifications for the proposed new 12.000.000 state office building here are completed within the next 30 days, there is a possibility that the contract will be awarded by March 1, state officials asserted Monday. Attorney General George Neu ner, at the request of the state board of control, is now prepar ing a resolution ' under which money necessary for construction operations will be borrowed from the state irreducible -school fund. This money will be repaid in rentals received from state de partments occupying the structure.

Graham issued a statement say ing that on October 7 he learned from his broker that he had "a small holding" in an account the broker was handling, and that he forthwith instructed that it be sold. He inquired about his account, he said, "because of all the public discussion of grain trading" then current This discussion Included an October 5 food conservation appeal in which President Truman said "the cost of living in this country must not be a football to be kicked about by gamblers in grain." Late today. Presidential Secre tary Charles G. Ross told report ers: "Dr. Graham will continue as White House physician." Governor Maw, a democrat who was elected three years ago, told reporters at Salt Lake City that he had "participated in market trading on and off for the past 20 years."

Prices Nearer AU-Time High WASHINGTON, Dec. 29 -0?V wnoiesaie prices continued their steady climb during the week end' ing December 20, shattering post war records and edging closer to the all-time high of May, 1920, the bureau of labor statistics re ported today. However, food prices declined slightly in the same period, espe cially for meats, eggs, fats and oils, This was offset somewhat; the bureau said, by higher figures for, fresh fruits and vegetables. printing and publishing, retail trade and finance and realty firms. About 200 new businesses were started in Marion county during the past year, with a resultant increase in employment. In 1946 the 144 businesses which began operating put 1,212 workers on the job. Establishment of new firms here was still going , strong at year's end and the UCC estimated that the trend would continue into 1948. Most of the -new activity is in construction and trade. Expected to Continue Based on worker estimates of 53 established Salem and Marion county firms during the latter part of 1947, it is predicted-that the top level of employment -would con tinue through 1945. The firms sur veyed expected a slight reduction of hired workers in the early months of this year, but looked for employment to climb again during March and May.

New York City May Get New Snow and Ice NEW YORK, Dec. 29-P)-New York City, still laboring to free itself from Friday's- 29.8-inch snowfall, was warned tonight to expect another inch or two of snow tomorrow.

Women and the young and old were taken into employment when workers were scarce. Now return ing veterans and returning war workers, who are going back into the -regular job channels, are shunting the emergency workers to the sidelines where they draw unemployment benefits. Cannery Workers Figure Benefits paid to cannery work ers also have been liberalized. Out of a total of 1,395 benefit claims paid in Marion county last week, over 70 per cent were laid off cannery workers. Claim pay ments paid out in the correspond ing week in 1946 included only 35 per cent cannery workers. With the county's population on the Increase and with its ex panding Industrial and business economy, the UCC indicated that the future here will be written in large figures both good and, bad.
