The petition of 180 residents of
Detroit-Idanha asking for a depu
ty sheriff indicates a genuine de
sire to maintain an orderly com
munity. It merits a favorable re
sponse from the county court.
While deputies are not located in
other areas of the county outside
of the county seat, this is an un
usual situation.
Detroit is over 50 miles from
Salem, and the connecting road is
not yet brought to good standards
for travel. There is a great shift
ing of population there because of
the present road work and the
prospect of work on the Detroit
dam. This unsettlement undoubt
edly increases the number of law
violations.
County Judge Murphy has ask
ed the state police to investigate
the situation and make recommen
dations as to the best way to pro
vide proper law enforcement for
the district. This is a good move,
because the state police Is a com-
Setent authority for advice on po
cing problems.
The Judge expresses the view
that the state should take on a
major share of the policing load
for the area because of the state
and federal projects afoot there.
But I believe Marion county :
should not relinquisn us re-po.ii- ter flrm tod Portland Chamber

then the county ought to provide in? Troutdale field within two

emergency. They have the special
duty of traffic patrol and game

county is concerned the intake .

to be on a commercial basis.
The armv engineers will have
probably $3,500,000 for spending
on the Detroit project in the fiscal
year starting July 1st next. That
Is a lot of money to be poured into
this area. The county will profit
from this expenditure and so
should be willing to take on added
expenses which the development
may entail.
Let's hear the recommendation
of the state police and then fol
low it, even if it costs the county
some money.

Draft Bill
Vote Due

WASHINGTON, June 15.-0P)-The
house ploughed its way
through amendments to the draft
bill today and leaders predicted
final passage of the measure to
morrow. Last-minute efforts to tack on
-'" "ul' "
into
solid opposition.
The house batted down, 135 to
23, an amendment by Rep. Javits
(R-NY) which would forbid segre
gation in the armed forces on
grounds of race, creed or color.
A similar amendment by Rep.
Powell (D-NY) likewise s was lost,
102 to 14.
An amendment by Rep. Folger
(D-NC) to raise the minimum reg
istration age from 18 to 21 was
defeated before the house ad
journed for the day. It lost 77 to
32 on a standing vote.
Leaders who had talked of put
ting the draft bill to a vote today
gave up hopes because of all the
amendments.
Republican House Leader Hal
leck (R-Ind) said it was too im
portant a measure to be "rammed
through in one day" anyway.
But passage tomorrow is prac
tically certain. The senate passed
a similar bill last Thursday 78 to

President
Opposes
Truman Feud
With Congress
Hits New High
WASHINGTON. June 15-(JP)-The
feud between President Tru
man and congress reached a new
pitch of Intensity tonight as the
president vetoed an appropriation
of almost a billion dollars because
he objected to an attached rider.
The rider provided for transfer
ring the U.S. employment service
from the labor department to the
federal security agency.
Mr. Truman branded this as
unwise legislative action, enact
ed in an unsound manner." It is
rare for a president to veto an
appropriation bill, especially one
of such dimensions.
The measure carried $975,914,
700 to help finance the federal se
curity agency, the U. S. employ
ment service and the public health
service for the year beginning
July 1.
Republican leaders indicated
they would try to override the
veto, but were doubtful whether
they would muster the required
two-thirds of both houses.
If they failed, they had two
choices: pass the bill again with
out the rider; or let it die. If they
chose the latter course, the agen
cies would be left short of funds.

County Asks State Take Lead in
Policing Detroit-Idanha Area
Marion county court Tuesday re
quested the state to assume ma
jor responsibility in preserving
law and order in the rapidly grow
ing Idanha-Detroit damsite area.
In a letter to Gov. John Hall,
County Judge Grant Murphy said
the state, and possibly the federal
government, should furnish law
enforcement facilities in addition
to what the county has already
provided.
The letter was prompted by a
recent petition from 180 residents
in the Detroit-Idanha area seeking
a full-time deputy sheriff due to
the rapid development of the com
munity. Judge Murphy, in his letter,
pointed out that most of the in
creased activity in that area is
related to Detroit dam projects.
These operations are being
conducted by the state and the
federal government," Murphy
said. "It appears to the county
court that the state should assume
the major part of tha responsi
bility In preserving law and order
in that community which is ag
gravated substantially on account
of these operations.

Bush School
Project Wins
Board Okeh
Recommendation that the city
council approve a proposed addi
tion to Bush elementary school
was made Tuesday night by the
city planning and zoning commis
sion. The group also gave preliminary
approval for a zone change Just
west of Salem General hospital
property, along Grear street, and
to a waiver of setback require
ments along Gaines street for the
proposed Scottish Rite temple.
The school petition involves a
project for which bids will be
opened June 25. The council
heard the request Monday night
and has already set a public hear
ing for June 28. since no owner
ship petitions are needed.
A new type of zoning restric
tion principle, by declaration and
not by deed, would be imposed
by the owners If eight lots near
the hospital were changed from
class I residential to class III i
business, according to Paul Hen
dricks, who represented Mr. and
Mrs. P. D. Quisenberry and Dr.
and Mrs. Vern W. Miller. Quisen
berry, who plans to build a phar
macy and lunch counter there,
Just west of new doctors clinics
under construction, said the pri
vate zoning would exclude types
of business which would be ob
jectionable to the two nearby hos
pitals, such as sale of firecrackers
and beer.
Public hearing on the petition,
which bore names of a score of
adjacent property owners, was set
for July 20.
j For the lodge hall at Summer
and Gaines streets, representa
i tives said an error in the stated
width of the lot would prevent
a proper type of building if the
setback on the Gaines side must
be observed.
