Initiative and annexation meas
ures are also on the Salem ballot.
Initiative proposals would estab
lish a city commission form .of
government, enfranchise Salem
Electric and reduce firemen's work
hours. They require majority
votes for adoption.
Annexation measures require in
each instance a majority vote
within the city plus a majority
vote in favor within the proposed
annexation area. The four areas
comprise 1.192 acres and about
'. 4,500 population.
Salient points of the various bal
lot proposals follow:
, CITY COMMISSION Present
form of government with elected
mayor, an elected alderman for
each Of sevjn wards and an ap
pointed city manager would "be
supplanted by an administration
by three elected, paid, full-time
city commissioners. One would be
a mayor-commissioner, to receive
$5,500 per year salary and the
other commissioners would receive
$5,000. A city judge would be
elected, as at present, and a city
attorney would be elfcted instead
of Wpointed. The city treasurer
now selected, would be appointed.
All city employees except elect
ed i and appointed city officers
would be placed under civil serv
ice, (instead of only police and
fire department personnel as at
present.) Each commissioner
would supervise administrative
functions of a separate group of
city departments, called commis
sions for public affairs and fi
nance, public health and- safety
and public works and property.
CITY FIREMEN Charter
would limit hours of work per
week to 63 for city firemen (who
now work 84 hours) without re
ducing their pay. and to. finance
additional firemen necessary un
der the change would levy a tax
of Up to 3 mills annually. Present
base fireman salary is $250 per
month.'
SALEM ELECTRIC Initiated
ordinance would enfranchise
Salem Electric, cooperative distri
butor of Bonneville power, to sup
ply electric energy on non-profit
basis to areas of Salem where re
quest for such service is made by
more than 50 per cent of legal
voters or electricity users. At pres
ent Salem Electric is limited to
existing operations in Salem.

420 acres south of Hoyt street and

Jews Capture
NewPositions
In North Drive
TEL AVTV, Israel, Oct. S0RP
An Israel army spokesman said
tonight tha Jews have captured
several positions in their new
northern Palestine offensive and
that the U.N. cease-fire order
could not bo accepted uncondi
tionally. UJV. truce headquarters at Hai
fa reported Israeli troops on the
move almost the length of the
northern border with Lebanon, It
ordered both sides to cease-fire
at 4 p.m., Israeli time today (7
ajn.. Eastern standard time).
Four hours after the deadline
the Israeli army said the govern
ment was still considering the of
fer but saw no way to accept it
until full guarantees were given
that irregular Arab forces of Faw
zi Bey El Kaukji withdrew from
Heights they occupied last week.
"We cannot avoid our action as
long as these guarantees are not
given, especially since Kaukji
commonly disregards not only Un
ited Nations orders but also or
ders of the Lebanese who are re
sponsible for this irregular army,"
the spokesman said.
Wide Offensive
Although U.N. quarters and
Arabic broadcasts reported the
Jews were on a wide offensive,
scarcely a week after the defeat
of the Egyptians in the south,
Jewish communiques indicated
serious fighting was- limited to re
capturing positions. Kauku's men
are alleged to have taken north
of Lake Hula in the northeastern
tip of Palestine.
The U.N. mission said the cease
fire orders were delivered to Is
rael and Lebanon.
(The Egyptian war ministry in
Cairo said Jewish attacks on some
positions in the south also were
repulsed.)
Israel on March
Arabic broadcasts said Israeli's
forces were on the march all along
the northern front. U.N. observers
said the Jews were attacking with
artillery, planes and troops along
a 20-mile arc from Tarshiha to
Lake Hula.
Brig. Gen. William Riley, U.N.
truce mission staff chief at Haifa,
sent orders to Israel and Lebanon
to cease-fire on the deadline of
4 p.m Israeli time, today (7 a.m.,
eastern standard time). U.N. head
quarters said the Lebanese gov
ernment promptly agreed, on the
eonaiuon tn Jaws would
carry out the order. XJJN. bead
quarters aaid no reply had beem
received from the Israeli govern
it..
