1 Tho Statesman, Salem; Orsgon, Tuesday. January f Pinball-Slot Machine Variance Argued Here in Dunlavy Case The question whether a pinball machine is a slot machine en tered into arguments Monday before Marion County Circuit Judge E. M. Pare, who took under advisement the case of John S. Dun lavy and Betty Dunlavy of Brooks, indictment with gambling device operations. j A demurrer against the indict ment, alleging that more than one crime was charged and that the ladictment is not clear, was argu ed by John Steelhammer, attorney for Betty Dunlavy. The indictment, Steelhammer said, charged three different crimes- -operating slot ma chine, a pinball sna chine and a nickel-in-the-slot machine. Each of the charges carries a different penalty, he declared. District Attorney Miller B. Hay den, however, maintained, that there was little difference between the terms slot machine and pinball machine, when they are used for gambling devices. Judge Page took the matter un der advisement. Demurrer to a similar indictment against Mary Lanners of Silverton was to have been argued Monday but was post poned to a later date not specified.

The new engine for the booster pump burned out, but no one seemed sure about the cause. First discovered by some one about 3 o'clock in the afternoon it was much later before the water board learned about it and by good fortune was able to obtain an ex act duplicate of the engine to in stall. Because it would be 48 hours before the water in the reservoir gave out after the pump failed, councilmen voted to install a float switch which will turn on a pilot light visible from Edgewater street when the water reaches a certain low level in the reservoir. Building permits issued in 1947 totaled $392,850. W. A. Huckaby, city building inspector, reported. The permits were for: " Business, $31,700; residences, $178,150; remodeling. $20,000; apartments, $35,000; and indus trial. $128,000. The $100 check of Saffron and Kline was accepted by the coun cil as an application and fee for license to operate a junk yard. Repairs for various sidewalks and ways to repair holes in the pavement took up considerable time of councilmen, who voted to repair the hole in front of Puritan market, ordered Charles Robinson and Jim Farthing to repair side walks on their property within 10 days. Court Asserts Search Wrong WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 -- The supreme court today freed a man convicted of possessing coun terfeit gasoline ration coupons, holding that his arrest and a police search of his person violated the constitution.

The court held that the record showed the only ground on which Dire was taken into custody, on April 14, 1944, was that he was a passenger in an automobile with Frank Buttitta at the time the latter was arrested.

Spokesmen for the petitioners declared Monday that the court's previous hearing was not publi cized well enough. They declared that Garden road is one of the old est street names in the Salem area and is believed to have taken its name more than 63 years ago from the location from which seeds were taken for nursery stock of the old Jason Lee mission. The petition states: "Garden road has grown old gracefully through all these years as it is one of the oldest named in Salem. With its gardens and love ly old homes, it is a street of tra dition, character and breeding and definitely does not want its name changed to a name as commercial as Market street. It has no mar kets to mar its beauty, so please let's keep it Garden road, a name it has had so many years." Stassen to Talk To Investigators WASHINGTON, Jsn.
