The recent airing of troubles
within the police department
probably was a surprise to most
people. I understand there was
some resentment in police circles
to news reports by Managing
Editor Wendell Webb of The
Statesman, but the action of City
Manager Franzen in reorganizing
the department and the statement
Issued by CapC Kiggins when he
resigned confirmed the reports of
Internal frictions. Maybe the vent
ing will do good by relieving
pressures and getting the depart
ment back on the job nf policing
rather than gossiping and feuding.
Though need for the reorgani
zation was evident, the method
tnay be questioned: the city man
ager taking over the reins from
the chief and Issuing the orders.
Sound administration would seem
to indicate that the chief should
organize his staff; but we shall.
Dot quarrel with the method if
good results follow.
Most of the controversy with
the department has centered
around the detective plainclothes
detail, some of whose members
seemed to regard their jobs as
giving them independence in their
activities. Then some of the uni
formed men got bitten by jeal
ousy and frictions, developed. The
major point of contention was
over the claims of partiality in
making appointments within the
department.
Requirements of a good police
department are effective and
firm leadership at the top, com
petence, integrity and loyalty all
down the line. All members arc
now '"on the spot" the chief,
the captains, sergeants and offi
cers to work together harmon
iously to supply Salem with the
quality of police service it need.

western Europe substantial help.
If Russia does become "domi

Threat to Bolt Democrat
Party Heard from South
JACKSON, Miss., Jan. 20-iip-Gov. rielding L. Wright today
asked an end to Mississippi's unique secret police force and urged
a southern bolt from the democratic party if the "cnti southern"
trend continues.
The secret police force, whose members are known only to the
governor, was set up last November at a special session of the leg
islature after violence developed
during a protracted strike involv
ing Southern Bus Lines, Inc.
The force is scheduled to go
out of existence in July, and today
Wright called for a uniformed
state police to replace it.
In his inaugural address as Mis
sissippi's 50th governor, Wright
accused democratic leaders of
aiming to "wreck the south and
our institutions." He declared the
south "will not lonrer tolerate be
ing the target" for legislation
"which would not only destroy
our way of life, but which, if en
acted would eventually destroy the
United States."
Wright referred to the southern
record of adherance to the demo
cratic party, but said that "when
the national leaders attempt to
change those principles for which
the party stands, we intend to
fight for its preservation with all
means at our hands.
"I would regret to see the day
come when Mississippi or the
south should break with the de
mocratic party in a national elec
tion." he said, "but vital princi
ples and eternal truths transcend
party lines, and the day is now at
hand when determined action must
be taken."

Gandhi, addressing the meeting

He then continued speaking
without any trace of excitement.

Assignment
The task of determining the Sa

by Vhich they might 'be secured
was accepted Tuesday night by the
Salem long range planning com
mission. Such a study was request
ed by boards of Salem General

cated doubt as to feasibility of
their recent plans for new con
struction aggregating $3,000,000.
C. A. McClure, commission en

3. Grant percentage cuts in

Issue of
Race Said
No Factor
Friday's slated execution of
Wardell Henderson, 27-year-old
convicted slayer, will not be stay
ed by Gov. John Hall, the gover
nor decided Tuesday.
Advised of the refusal of execu
tive clemency, Henderson told
Prison Warden George Alexander
he already had heard the bad
news and that he had no "hard
feelings" against anyone.
In his statement regarding the
negro who was convicted of slay
ing Walter Poole, Vanport butch
er, on Dec. 24, 1045, Governor
Hall declared that "No one has
claimed the defendant did not
have a fair trial nor that he was
not given every opportunity to
present any matter material to
his defense. Neither bas anyone
established that the question of
racial discrimination was in any
way connected with the case."
Hall said he had received no
expression from any of the jurors
except the foreman, who recently
wrote that had he to do it all
over again upon the same evi
dence he would vote to- convict
the defendant but would recom
mend life imprisonment.
(In Portland the governor's de
cision brought protests from offi
cials of the Urban league and
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
David Robinson, league president,
said "the state of Oregon should
not forfeit a human life if the
conviction was the result of what
is now demonstrated to have been
an unfair triaL" Irving Goodman,
NAACP-attorney, claimed that
affidavits from two jurors had
blamed the death penalty on rac
ial prejudice in the jury and that
they had been "thrown in the
waste basket" by the governor.)
Henderson will be transferred
to a death cell, adjacent to the
lethal gas chamber, Thursday af
ternoon, according to the warden.
Alexander said the prisoner had
not made any special requests and
apparently was in good spirits. It
was believed he learned of the
governor's decision by radio in
his cell block. (Additional details

The committee dislikes the idea
of military officers in civilian Jobs.
Branch's resignation, .which is

cause the third vacancy on the
five-member board.
Chairman James M. Land is went
out at the end of 1947 when Pre

Scott Suggests
Portland Select
F
Building Site
Suggestion that the people of
Portland be allowed to determ
ine where to locate a proposed new
state office building in that city
was put before the state board of
control at Tuesday's meeting by
State Treasurer Leslie M. Scott.
No recommendation was made by
the board, and Scott said board
members had no preference as te
a west or east side site for the
12.500,000 structure.
The board heard arguments for
an east side selection from a dele
gation from the Eastslde Commer
cial club.
Construction of the building was
authorized by the 1947 legisla
ture, with money to be borrowed
from state funds and repaid from
rentals. The site problem Is under
investigation by Roy Mills, board
of control secretary, according to
Gov. John ' H. Hall. Scott urged
that haste be avoided In site selec
tion and that plan be worked
out to let metropolitan residents
decide.
The Portland group's reasons
for choice of the east side includ
ed: Future growth of the city will
largely center there, relief of west
side traffic conditions, lower con
struction cost, convenience to re
sidents, lack of advantageous sites
across the river. The-group ex
pressed preference for a site in
the Lloyd addition.
