Our Friends, the Public Health Nurses We do not want to let this week pass without tipping a chapeau to the public health nurses for this is the week of the year when their work is railed to public attention- These agents of good health work rather unobtrusively, and the adult popula tion is hardly conscious of the tasks they regularly perform. Armed with immunization needles and informative pamphlets, the blue-uniformed corps of public health nurses do yeoman service in the battle against infectious disease and ignorance of health practices and standards. Residents of Salem and Marion county owe their better chances to keep healthy in high degree to the efforts of seven nurses employed by the tax-supported city-county health depart ment in the Masonic building. Their generalized service, free of charge to everyone anywhere in the county, is mainly preven tative not therapeutic. Each nurse is charged with the care of , 10.750 potential patients. Public health experts say there should be one nurse for every 5,000 patients. Their duties include house calls on communicable illnesses like tuberculosis and venereal diseases, pre- and post-natal care for mothers and babies, school clinic work, immunizations for adults and children, guidance for children with behavior and learning problems, follow-up work on juvenile delinquency cases, special services in mobile x-ray units or in the crippled chil dren's clinic and some instruction work. Lack of nurses is the major problem, now. There is no way to draft new recruits so the only immediate solution at present is th rough publicity, such as this national public health nursing week, to acquaint the public with the work and needs of the whole movement. The long-range answer to this problem is a program to make public health nursing a more attractive career for young women with better working conditions, better facilities, better wages. Meanwhile, the small corps carries on. Bulwark Against Inflation The federal government is taking a sound, sensible approach in promoting its latest campaign for funds, and the campaign It worthy of full support. The latest borrowing is dubbed Ameri cm i Security loan and the treasury bluntly states its purpose to maintain widespread ownership proceeds for use in retiring maturing bank-held debt. The bond issue actually is a double-barrelled attack on inflation, permitting retirement of inflationary debt and syphon ing off excess funds in the hands of individuals which would otherwise be used to bid up prices. Despite heavy cashing of federal securities, it is encouraging to note that outstanding E bonds of $31,000,000,000 constitutes an all-time high, and the amount of savings bonds outstanding U steadily gaining an invaluable cushion against depression id a latent buying power for Individual will need it. At present, individuals hold a total of $51,000,000,000 in federal savings bonds of all issues. The national debt has been reduced $20,000,000,000 in the last two years. Our economy is being stabilized and insured by these factors. Further individual participation in the bond program will help even more. 4Out Where the Went Ends" Oregon gets the call in the current issue of Collier's. It is featured in an article by Jim Marshall, "Out Where the West Ends." the sixth in a series on "designs for touring." What catches the eye is the lush blue and green map of western Oregon which fills the page opposite the lead of the text. The blue is for the ocean and the green for the evergreen land. The artist however was hardly a geographer because he locates Oregon City "birth place of Oregon republicans," south of Salem, which is marked with a sketch of its imposing capitol. While many will snicker ever that slip really the local scene gets good attention: pelicans; at Klamath Falls, caves and cavemen at Grants Pass, cheese at Tillamook, timber-faller at Bend. Jim Marshall's piece is lively, accurate and inviting. He knows his Oregon and his flowing narrative weaves in geogra--poy, history and legend. He notes how the advertising club pro snates Oregon's lure for tourists and then reports that the "state highway commission is spending millions building four - lane speedways over which visitors may rush at 80 miles an hour." But he puts in items that should induce tourists to clamp down the brakes and tarry a while; and the accompanying picture of blue Crater lake and the vivid green map of the Oregon country ably illustrate Oregon's attractions, despite the disloca tion of Oregon City. There are omissions of course (Medford, Albany) and eastern Oregon is not covered, which is regrettable because that region has riches for tourists too. We ought to be very appreciative of the recognition this national magazine has given to the western Oregon wonderland. An American correspondent has been ordered out of Russia n charges that he has operated as a spy. The complaint was made by his former secretary, an American-born Russophile, now married to a Russian. Hi employers deny any misuse of hs privileges; and the case may merely be one of Russian nerves our immigration officials seem to have had a similar nervous upset on the recent visit to this country of one of the Curie daughters. However every country of importance tries to keep tab on what is happening in other countries. Congress quizzed the head of our central security agency to see if It had information i a coming outbreak in Bogota. Most of the stuff reported is purely informational. We ought to have many sources of infor mation from inside Russia. They are indispensable in working out the problems of our own relations with the USSR. As a rule however a press correspondent undertakes no espionage a such, though he sends back a wealth of material which is useful to his editors at home. Congressman Walter Norblad with the aid of the others In the Oregon delegation has obtained from the maritime com mission promise of establishing -a laying-up basin for merchant vessels In the Columbia river above Astoria. Ships now held at Olympia are to be moved to the river over the loud protest f the Washington delegation. Astoria already is a base for a portion of the navy's mothball fleet, and this addition will greatly augment the federal payroll in that vicinity. It is a distinct victory for the first district congressman. Bob Ruhl of the Medford Mail-Tribune suggests a get together "a tete-a-tete" between Truman and Stalin. Recall ing Teheran, Yalta and Psrtadam we're not' so sure about that. We nominate John L. Lewis to do collective bargaining for the USA with Uncle Joe.

Bids Submitted On East Oregon TB Hospital Low bids of $225,500 for con struction of a dormitory at the Eastern Oregon State Tubercu losis hospital at The Dalles and $25,000 for construction of a sup erintendent's dwelling there, were submitted here Friday by H. J. Settergren of Portland. It originally was estimated that the dormitory, with a capacity of approximately 50 persons, would cost $242,338. Six bids were re ceived. The bids will be presented to the state board of control Tues day for final consideration. Part of the money required for con struction of the dormitory will come from the state building fund of $6,000,000 allocated to the board of control for betterment of state institutions. Before actual construction work can start a majority of members of both the board of control and state emergency board must give their approval. This is the last project in the state building fund program involving state institu tions. Approximately $400,000 will re main in the state building fund, for institutions, after the dormi tory contract is awarded, board of control members said. CIRCUIT COURT Purl S. Berry vs William L.

There is reason to believe that their chief interest is in the Pan ama Canal zone," he said. The chairman of the house com mittee on un American activities, said the Russians travel with the approval of their government. which is not lightly given, and their listed occupations are var ied. Group to Discuss Consolidation of Fund Campaigns A survey of opinion of "the contributing public" and a study of other cities' methods regarding a plan to consolidate financial campaigns in Salem is to be eon ducted by a committee named on Friday. The group representing the chamber of commerce; retail trade bureau and Conununity Chest in dicated a desire for coordination of the many drives by separate agencies and the annual chest canrDsUeTn.

It's a Commission to Decide Soon on Tax Suit Reply The state tax commission an nounced Friday that it will decide by Monday whether to file an an swer to the recent suit in Marion county circuit court which seeks to prevent transfer of surplus state income tax revenues and corpor ate excise taxes to the general state fund. The announcement came follow ing a conference Friday of tax commission members and commis sion attorneys. The suit to prevent the proposed transfer was filed by former Gov ernor Charles A. Sprague. It con tends that the surplus funds are earmarked to offset property tax es and are not transferable. In an opinion several weeks ago. Attorney General George Neuner ruled that surplus revenues from income and corporate taxes are classed as miscellaneous receipts and subject to transfer. Tax commission attorney, Dean Ellis, said the commission has 10 days in which to file either an an swer or demurrer. Arguments will be heard in the circuit court of Judge George R. Duncan in Sa lem Attorneys said the case will undoubtedly be appealed to the state supreme court regardless of the lower court decision. Marion County Roads Claimed 'Best in State' The 1,618 miles of road In Mar ion county are in the best shape of any county road system in the state, Marion County Commis sioner Roy Rice told the Salem Board of Realtors at their lunch eon Friday noon in the Marion hotel. A program designed to elimi nate weeds and bushy growth along county roads by a system of spraying was begun last year and should bear fruit this year. Rice said. The spraying program will cost the county about $10,000 every three years. The spray used. he said, is not poisonous to live stock. Among roads slated for a re surfacing this summer is Lan caster drive, just east of Salem, the commissioner said. The coun ty has budgeted 500,000 for its road system, $300,000 of which is derived as the county's share of the state gasoline tax levy while the remainder Is made up from county taxes. Rice estimated that ft costs the county about $7,000 per mile to build a hard-surfaced road. This county's 828 bridges he said will be increased this summer when steel spans are erected between Gervais and McKee and at Scotts Mills. Tank Blamed For Explosion A ruptured ammonia concentra tor tank was blamed for the ex plosion which shook' the Kelley, Farquhar & Co. frozen food plant at 1480 Tile rd. Thursday night, company officials said Friday. The blast occurred about 10:15 Thursday night and sent a heavy concentration of ammonia fumes through the entire building. Sev eral spot fires which broke out near the tanks after the explosion were caused by the gas contact ing electric wires. A company spokesman said Fri day afternoon that damage was only slight and was confined to the refrigeration machinery and wiring. Several thousand pounds of frozen food stored in nearby lockers escaped damage, the spokesman said. Dr. Riggs Urges New Handling of Pre-Delinquents Comparing youth to natural re sources, with both right and wrong ways to use both, Dr. Law rence Riggs of Willamette univer sity appealed Friday for a mid way corrective process for pre By Lichty salary went, Otis When yea sign you're getting aid! delinquents. His talk was made to the Salem Optimist club meeting at the Salem hotel. Such a process would be for young people who should not be sent to Hulcrest or woodburn state schools, he said. Correct develop ment of youth resources, he assert ed, would eliminate the costly cor rection processes for maladjusted children, which is carried on by governments principally. Vice President Sidney Jary con ducted the meeting. Cherry Tree Spray Urged to Combat Beetles Oregon State college entomolo gists are warning Willamette val ley cherry growers of the emerg ence of syneta beetles and recom mending prompt application of Insecticides for their control, ac cording to information received Thursday by D. L. Rasmussen, assistant county agent S. C. Jones, associate entomolo gist at Oregon State college, sug gests use of one of the following dust?: (1) lead arsenate - lime (30-70); or (2) lead arsenate- sulfur (30-70); or (3) 5 per cent DDT either combined with sul fur or other non-alkaline carrier. The recommended syneta beetle spray is 4 pounds of lead arsenate plus 4 pounds of lime in 100 gal lons of water. The effectiveness of DDT sprays for syneta beetles are not yet proven for a gen eral recommendation. Rasmussn advises growers to consider their fungus disease problems and combine a fungi cide with the syneta beetle spray. He suggests either a fermate or sulfur program for the season. If fermate spray is used, the 4 pounds of lead arsenate can be added to a spray containing 1 pounds fermate and 100 gallons of water. He cautions growers against "changing horses in midstream" during the cherry spraying sea son. Fermate or lime sulfur should not follow Bordeaux mix ture because serious leaf burning may result, ir me grower uses fermate for the p re-blossom spray he should continue- to use it for later blossom blight, fruit rot and leaf spot sprays. The same rule applies for sulfur, Ras mussen concludes. Daughter of Gov. Geer Dies Theodosia Geer Little, 75, daughter of the late Oregon gov ernor, T. T. Geer, died Tuesday in San Francisco where she had lived for more than 30 years, friends here learned this week. Mrs. Little was born March 19, 1873, at the pioneer Geer home in the Macleay district, near, Sa lem. Survivors include a son. Gene Downing; a granddaughter, June Stewart, and a great grand son, George Stewart, all of San Francisco. Several distant rela tives also reside in the Salem area. Funeral and Interment are in San Francisco. C. of C. to Hear Jay Stevens Jay Stevens, assistant manager of the fire prevention bureau for the National Board of Fire under writers, will be guest speaker at the Salem Chamber of Commerce forum luncheon Monday noon.

The primary returns had hardly been counted in Nebraska before a stop-Stassen movement began to be grimly dis cussed in the camps of both his beaten rivals. The present position is easily described. The Stassen forces are like an old-fash- mp, ioned heivy-r weight football tr team which has ? Just completed two s u c c essful r line - bucks, mi Wisconsin and In Nebraska. Two If ! mnre, line - rnir-lre ' 1 ' are planned, lnfiV mm Ohio and Ore gon, against an opposition serf- 2 Joseph A boo'. ously weakened-"-- -- - by hard knocks taken to date. If successful in Ohio and Oregon, the Stassen forces will be in scoring position. The op position will then be able to halt Stassen's onward march only by a really tough ef fort, which means a stop Stassen m o v e -ment uniting Governor Thorn as E. Dewey and Senator Rob ert A. Taft. That Governor Dewey and Senator Taft will wish to unite in this manner. If neces sary, hardly needs to be pointed out. To be perfectly plain about it, both men hate Stassen's guts. Both men mean to fight it out with Stassen to the best of their ability, and a real win in Oregon might yet save Dewey. Even a victory in Ohio will hardly rescue Taft. His extremely poor show ing as a vote-getter in his mid western Nebraska only confirms the depressing verdict of the opin ion polls and the republicans will not nominate a conceivable loser. Assuming for the moment, how ever, that Stassen wins his next two line-bucks, the first problem of the Stas sen-stoppers will be to hold strength Dewey and Taft have long relied upon Delegates Wavering The rat leaving the sinking ship is a loyal old slowpoke compared to the delegate fleeing from the weakening candidate. The politi cal livestock picked up in the Southern delegate auctions have this grave disadvantage: They don't stay bought if they don't wish to. This endangers one of the basic assets of the Taft forces. Dewey will have as equally hard time hanging onto delegates until now strongly inclined to him, but not controlled, as in Kansas and Iowa. Certainly there will be a fair number of defections from both the New York governor and the Ohio senator if Stassen scores in Ohio and wins in Oregon. Even allowing for reasonable de fections, however, Dewey and Taft will still constitute a formidable combination, provided they find a way to combine. And here, of course, is just where the rub is. Taft's real backers are the ex t r e m e isolationist - conservative wing of the republican party, most conspicuously represented by Col onel Robert R. McCormick. To this group, Governor Dewey, Sen ator Arthur H. Vandenberg and all the other more modern-minded republican leaders are "just as bad as Stassen in the odd language of Colonel McCormick, a mere troop of Benedict Arnolds. Therefore Taft will at least have the utmost difficulty in swinging his support to any republican rep resenting the party's post-McKin-ley era. On the other hand, while Governor Dewey can be as agile a politician as the next man, he also has some pretty deep-rooted convictions. These convictions seem almost certain to prevent him from giving his backing to any of the conservative-isolationist re publicans, such as Senator Taft or the almost unbearably eager Speaker Joseph W. Martin. Candidate Problem Difficult If Dewey sticks by his guns (and the sentiment in New York will almost force him to anyway), the Stassen-stoppers will thus have a lot of trouble finding a candidate of their own. Governor Warren of California, whose total dimness of record on all national issues makes him theoretically ac ceptable, is a very long-shot bet. The obvious choice is Senator Van denberg, whom Dewey, it is be lieved, would heartily favor. But the Taftites would swallow Van denberg with many an unhappy gulp and grimace, if they could be brought to do so at all which is the really doubtful point. Meanwhile, one lesson sticks out a mile from Wisconsin and Nebraska. Dewey's showing, poor in Wisconsin, was distinctly cred table in Nebraska, considering that he had no organization support at alL MacArthur, on the other hand, with aO. his glamor, did badly in Wisconsin and Senator Taft, de spite the aid of Senator Hugh Butler's organization, made m dis astrous showing in Nebraska. The lesson is that the real, eld-line For Sale 3 Dcdrcon ON '' t i .

There are plenty of conservative Americans who want to vote republican, but they wish to do so without vainly pretending that this is 1908, not 1948. Film Stars to Publicize Fund Drive in State PORTLAND, April 18 Two motion picture celebrities will in vade Oregon next week to assist in publicizing the drive for funds for the American Overseas Aid United Nations Relief for Chil dren. They are Roddy McDowell, the child protege who starred in many pictures, and Irene Rich; famed on the stage, screen and ra dio. The two stars win visit Portland and nearby communities Monday to outline purposes of the drive, which is to start May 1, nationally, and is backed by 50 members of the U.N., and which in the United States has the support of 28 or ganizations, including all national tabor parties, churches, the YMCA and other civic groups. McDowell and Miss Rich will arrive in Portland Sunday night by plane. They will give several radio talks, be guests of the cham ber of commerce and the Oregon Press club, and visit several near by communities. They also have Deen Invited to meet with Gov John H. Hall at Salem. The gov ernor is honorary state chairman for the drive, of which E. B. Mac Naughton, Portland banker, is Oregon chairman. Quota in the U.S. for the drive is $60,000,000. Iceland is the first U.N. member to go "over the top" in its quota. Local Students Win Contest Three Marion county high school students are the only winners in the nationwide school press proj ect of the National Tuberculosis association and the Columbia Scholastic Press association. Elizabeth Morley, a junior at Salem senior high school is one of the winners. The other two are Bede Annen, student at ML Angel preparatory school, and Lowena Horsley, AumsvUle high school student. The students, who were among eight original contestants from this county, wrote articles dealing with the prevention of tuberculosis in communities and schools, which were published in their school pa pers. Through the Marion county public health association the win ning students will receive certifi cates for their work.

This condition being that there is no air traffic control tower in operation. I visited your city by air last week and found that flying in and out of the Salem Airport is indeed a very risky business. If a tragedy is to be averted it is my urgent suggestion that a control tower be placed in use as soon as possible. I talked with several of the boys at the airport and they thought perhaps the reason the city had no control tower was the cost of equipment and salaries. It is be lieved that the equipment can be obtained from the CAA at no cost, and if only one control operator was placed on duty during the rush hours, then the entire cost would not be excessive. Our city of Ogden has three operators and the control tower is in operation from about daybreak until nearly midnight.
