Five Charged with Soliciting
Subscriptions tcithout Permit
Arrest of five persons by city police Thursday on charges of
soliciting magazine subscriptions without a permit, brought a warning
from Police Chief Frank Minto that book and magazine agents must
secure permits to solicit in Salem.
"No one in the city now has a permit to solicit subscriptions to
magazines, books or periodicals," Chief Minto revealed. "And no such
permit can be given until Febru
ary 23 when tne city council
meets again."
The chief urged local residents
to inform the police station of any
solicitor who does not have a city
permit on his person. Such a per
mit, the chief said, would be typed
on city stationery and authoriz
ing the agent to solicit.
The fjve persons arrested
Thursday posted $25 bail each and
re slated to appear in municipal
court today. They are Paul E.
Brock, charged with permitting
soliciting without a permit, and
Mel Smith. Shirley Seal, Alvin
Gorham and Pauline Martin, ail
charged with soliciting without a
permit They gave their address
as Chicago, 111.
In order to secure a soliciting
permit, the agent must first show
Chief Minto a letter from the po
lice chief or mayor of the last
town he canvassed. If the letter is
satisfactory, Minto said, then the
application goes to the city council
at its next regular meeting for
final approval.
This city ordinance. Minto said,
pertained to any "magazine, book
or periodical agent," with no ex
ceptions. When granted, the permit
usually places a time limit on the
solicitation.
According to police report?, the
agents arrested Thursday idenu

Gandhi's Death Compared to
Lincoln's in Lions Club Speech
The death by assassin's bullets of Mohandas K. Gandhi was
likened to the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln in a Lin
coln day talk Thursday noon before Salem Lions club by Frank Neer,
Salem high school social studies instructor.
The death of each immediately raised him to a pedestal, noted
Neer who continued, "and in each case the people began immediately
to forget the principles and ideals
for which he had worked."
But Lincoln's stature as a na
tional hero, also like Gandhi's,
should not obscure the fact that
he was outstanding in his time as
a politician, declared Neer. This
does not mean, the speaker ex
plained, that Lincoln fits the ster
eotype of a self-seeking politician
which Americans have come to as
sociate with the word 'politician."
Indifference to Lincoln's princi
ples after his death resulted in loss
of prestige by the then-new re
publican party; signs of a similar
indifference toward proclaimed
national principles and ideals to
day may well indicate a mounting
loss of prestige for this nation's
position in world leadership, Neer
stated.
Neer was a charter member and
third president of the Salem
Lions club which he addressed
yesterday at luncheon in the Mar
ion hotel.
The club's patriotic p re-meeting
ceremony was led by Boy Scout
David Heinz of troop 9. The club

Sustained Yield
Battle Grows
ROSEBURG, Ore.. Feb. It-VP)
The battle of small lumbermen
against the government's long
term sustained yield agreements
moved to Drain yesterday.
Earl Mason, a former Oregon
State college forestry faculty
member, asserted at a meeting
here last night that the govern
ment's plan encourages monopol
istic practices.
Another speaker. Judge Lief
Erickson Troy, Mont, declared
that the complete disappearance
of the forests would be prefer
able to losing free enterprise.
Opponents of the exclusive sale
contracts in the agreements
under which a company logs pri
vate and federal timber stands
for a 100-year period on a sus
tained yield basis contend the
system freezes out small inde
pendent operators.
