Thieves Decapitate
21 Parkioig tvOeters
Similar Robberies Noted over'Valley
City police Friday night pa
trolled the streets searching for
an organized band of thieves
who stole 21 parking meters in
downtown Salem Wednesday
and Thursday nights.
Following a pattern familiar
In five other Oregon cities, the
thieves used a pipe cutter to
sever 11 meter heads from their
posts Wednesday night and 10
on Thursday night. The thefts
occurred in the 100 block on
South Church street and in the
400 block on North High street
within two blocks of police
headquarters.
The sum of money contained
ln'the meters was, still undeter
mined Friday, but police said
the meters are valued at about
$1,200. Similar thefts have been
committed recently in Portland,

Those interested in the economic
foundations of the state will find
dependable statistical data in a
recent OSC bulletin. "Oregon's
Meat Animals and Wool". The
Importance of these "crops" is re
vealed in its first sentence: "More
money is received by farmers
from the sale of meat animals
and wool than from any other
12 groups of Oregon's farm prod
ucts." The total cash receipts from
the farm animal source was over
$68,000,000 in 1946. Sales for meat
bring in the most money, with
dairy products in second place.
One conspicuous fact is the de
cline in numbers of sheep and
hogs and the moderate increase
in number of cattle. The num
ber of milch cows has shown a
slight decline in the last dozen
years. In the case of sheep and
lambs the decrease has been
steady since 1931 when a total
of 2.679,000 bead were reported
to 1947 when the numbers were
only 803,000. Restrictions on graz
ing in the range country of east
ern Oregon, the lack of competent
labor in war years and the greater
relative profit in beef cattle ac
count for the decrease.
In the case of hogs the num
bers rose from 178.000 in 1935 to
359.000 in 1944. Then the high
feed costs led to disposal of stock
so there were only 161.000 re
ported as of Jan. 1, 1947. The
year 1944 was the peak year for
cattle also, the total being 1,194.
000 head, with 284.000 of them
milch cows. The total in 1947 was
1.067,000. with 251,000 milch cows.
The decrease may indicate cull
ing in the case of dairy cows and
some lightening of risk in the case
of beef cattle.
One interesting statistical fact
is that 1903 marked the peak in
the number of animal units (beef
cattle plus sheep at the ratio of
five sheep equal one animal unit)
1.238,000. Last year the

Woman Defies
Withhold Tax
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13 -iJPy-In
defiant terms, Miss Vivien Kel
lems. Westport, Conn., industrial
ist, declared today she will no
Jonger withhold federal income
taxes from her employes unless
she is paid for it.
Miss Kellems, cable grip manu
facturer, spoke of the withhold
ing tax law as an infringement
on the rights of the public and in
violation of the constitution.
"I am not a tax collector and if
an American citizen can be fined
and thrown into prison for not
collecting taxes from his work
ers, then let's know about it now.
"Let's see what the court has
to say about this law it's not
the first one passed in violation
of the constitution."
Animal Crackers
By WARREN GOODRICH
First of a series: Smail-fish-yes-rew
of Pacific Ocean from
inside whale's mouth.
Oregon City, Albany, Sweet
Home and Lebanon.
Six meters were taken at Al
bany, six at Portland and more
than a dozen each at Oregon
City, Sweet Home and Lebanon.
In Salem the thieves cut the
meters off about 28 inches above
the base, while in other cities
they severed the posts close to
the base. In Portland the me
ters were taken from directly in
front of the police station.
? Police in all affected cities
have been unable to explain the
reason for the thefts. Theories
ranged all the way from an an
gered motorist to a town that
wants .parking meters and can't
afford them. Just plain theft
was suggested, too; but police
said there isn't much profit in
meter snatching. Meters, they
said, generally don't contain
more than a few dollars.
2 Tornadoes
Leave 5 Dead
In Mississippi
By the Associated Press
Two tornadoes ripped into Mis
sissippi 85 miles apart yesterday,
leaving five dead in a southland
already suffering from flooding
rivers and continuing rain.
All the known dead were vic
tims of a twister that tore a
jagged line near Newton, Miss.
Another tornado hit 10 miles
south of Monticello. some 75
miles southwest of Newton.
At least 24 were injured and
30 homes were destroyed in
Mississippi.
Rain and snow-flushed moun
tain streams threatened scores of
eastern Kentucky communities
with flood waters and caused
evacuation of hundred. of bottom-land
dwellers. The entire
community of Oneida (pop. 500)
was ordered abandoned as flood
waters from three creeks hit.
English
Cuttings
PORTLAND, Feb. 13 -JP)- An
airplane landed here today with
40.000 English hop cuttings in the i
Pacific northwest's fight against ,
downy mildew in the hop fields i
The cuttings, taken from 15
English hybrid hops, were trucked
at once to Independence Ore ;
where planting started. The op-,

E. Clemens Horst ranch.
The Horst company hopes to
find varieties that will resist or
be immune to down mildew, a
fungus that reduced Oregon's crop
one-third last year, causing an
estimated $6,000,000 loss in the
Willamette valley alone.
Paul T. Rowell. Salem manag
er of the U. S. Hop Growers asso
ciation, said the . alternative to
finding immune varieties is a cost
ly and continuous dusting pro
gram. Marshall Terms
European Union
;Our Great Hope'
DES MOINES, Feb. Sec
retary of State Marshall tonight
described the formation of a west
ern European union as "our great
hope."
A "stable and healthy western
Europe," Marshall said, would
make Soviet leaders "much more
inclined" to reach a settlement of
problems that now divide Russia
and the west.
Marshall's remarks were con
tained in an address prepared for
the National Farm institute.
He unreservedly endorsed the
western European union propos
als of British Foreign Secretary
Ernest Bevin.
Taft Claims Title
Of True Liberal'
OMAHA. Feb. 13-JP)-Senator
Taft (R-Ohio) tonight claimed the
title of "true liberal." a term he
said New Dealers have no right
to "appropriate."
The OhidKcandidate for the COP
presidential tiomination told Ne
braka republicans:
"You and I ftciay not think of
ourselves as heroic. But if we re
main firm in our purposes it is
possible that the futare will con
sider all or us heroes We have
still kept liberty alive in Amer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13 - (JP)
The senate foreign relations com
mittee agreed late today on a
four-year European recovery pro
gram with the U. S. putting up
$5,300,000,000 for the first 12
months.
President Truman had asked
$6,800,000,000 for the first 15
months.

Shortening the 15-month peri
od, Vandenberg told a news con
ference, will give congress a
chance to make "a realistic review
of the recovery program" at "the
earliest possible moment" and then
vote whatever additional funds it
thinks necessary.
The committee wrote in its bill
a section designed to keep exports
to Europe from causing shortages
in this country.
Vandenberg said he hopes for
a committee vote on the bill as a
whole next Tuesday, after a few
details have been worked out. If
all goes well, he said, it should be
ready for senate debate March 1.
Its fate there is uncertain. Sen
ator Taft (R-Ohio) and other
leading republicans have called
for large outright cuts. Taft sug
gested a $2,000,000,000 slash.

(Pictures on page 5)
Mrs. Betty Voecks, 21, Salem
waitress critically wounded in a
downtown hotel Thursday night,
was reported "slightly improved"
by her physician at Salem Gen
eral hospital early this morning.
Her fiancee was arraigned in
Marion county district court Fri
day on a charge of pointing a
firearm at another in connection
with the shooting.
Mrs. Voecks was listed in "cri
tical" condition most of Friday
but began to show improvement
after returning from surgery
about 9 p. m., it was reported. Po
lice said a .45 calibre bullet
pierced both lungs and left shoul
der before striking a wall.

not know why he had pulled the
trigger.
In the first aid car on the way
to the hospital Mrs. Voecks told
Capt. C. M. Charlton of the first
aid unit that she had asked Britz
not to handle the gun a minute
before it discharged.
Phoned Desk Clerk
Occupants of nearby rooms said
they heard no argument or dis
turbance from the room prior to
the shooting. A man in an adja
cent room phoned the desk clerk
after hearing the shot. Mrs.
Voecks, an employe of the Salem
hotel coffee shop, and Britz were
registered as man and wife, police
said.
Britz was arraigned in district
court Friday and his case con
tinued to February 16 for a plea
when he did not have an attor
ney. He was transferred from
the city jail to the county jail
and held in lieu of $1,000 bail.
Te Continue Investigation
District Attorney Miller Hay
den and city police indicated they
would continue their investiga
tion of the shooting today. Hay
den said he was at the hospital
Friday night, but that he was
unable to talk with Mrs. Voecks
because of her serious condition.
The charge of pointing a fire
arm at another, Hayden said, is an
indictable misdemeaner with a
maximum penalty of $500 or 90
days In jail or both.

farmers, have retted and. dried it
and separated the fibres from the
woody substance by "scutching."
The flax la then sold to manu
facturers, the answer declared.
