China Important,
Dahlquist Holds
No place in the world is more
important just now than China,
and it is urgent that United States
help save It from communism.

Commerce Monday noon.
In explanation of the inability

had something about which to
object when it came to signing
on the dotted line.

Farrell Returned
On Check Charge
Earl Farrell. Portland, was re
turned to Salem Monday by city
detectives and will be arraigned
in Marion county district court
on a forgery charge.
Farrell was arrested on a dis
trict court warrant charging him
with cashing two worthless checks
on Salem merchants in late Janu

Electrical Workers
Back to Work Here
Approximately 38 outside elec

Electric who had been idle since
last Thursday on a wage dispute,
returned to their jobs Monday at
a compromise advance in pay.
The work stoppage was gen
eral in Oregon, Washington, and
part of Idaho where the outside
electrical workers are hired.
Scarcities Slow
Extensions of
Citv Utilities
(Council News also on Page 1)
Only the continued scarcity of
such materials as water pipe is
slowing the extension of city fa
cilities into areas annexed In the
past two years. City Manager J.
L. Franzen assured the city coun
cil Monday night in Salem Cham
ber of Commerce meeting rooms.
Pipe for water mains in the east
and north parts of Salem is in
short supply, although long or
dered, Franzen said, and lights
for every street intersection in
new areas have been on order
almost a year. It will require
several months to get the city
sewer extension program under
way, he added.
The city council ordered Fran
zen to study reports that heavy
trucks are using residential area
streets.
Aldermen confirmed their ac
tion last month in setting rentals
aggregating (120 a month for
leases of city waterfront property
and moorage rights, after three
companies near foot of Chemeke

State Cattle
Import Rules
Get Approval
Oregon's regulations governing
importation of cattle into the state
are "reasonable, necessary and in
conformance with state and fed
eral laws," Attorney General
George Neuner ruled in an opin
ion Monday.
The regulations, established by
State Agriculture Director EL L.
Peterson, are designed to prevent
diseased cattle from coming into
Oregon from California drouth
areas. They provide that certifi
cates of good health must accom
pany the cattle, or else they must
be quarantined at the owner's ex
pense for 30 days.
"The provision for health cer
tificates is no barrier to commerce
of traffic in livestock that may
lawfully enter the state," Neuner
wrote. "It has the effect of stop
ping diseased animals only and
permitting others to enter without
hindrance.
"It is the duty of the state di
rector of agriculture to take such
measures as will prevent the
spread of communicable diseases
of livestock and. If necessary, to
resort to rtstraint and isolation of
diseased or suspect animals."
Many thousands of cattle have
come Into the state this year from
the California drouth areas. Pet
erson said he fears the animals
might infect Oregon herds with
many diseases, including the
dread hoof and mouth disease
which has spread over much of
Mexico.
