Br Winston H. Tayler
Staff Writer. The Statesman
Air-conditioning at the state
capitol building and a request for
more funds to purchase capitol
cone properties here were approv
ed Tuesday by the board of con
trol. The board also asked for a
survey of off-street parking possi
bilities for the capitol area, whose
congestion is . increased by the
highway.
: The ventilating and cooling con
tract will go to Western Engineer
ing Co. of Portland on a bid of
(62,896. which engineer's fees will
boost to about $66,000. This will
provide for a refrigeration plant
of the reciprocating type, cooling
of offices on the first floor and
basement and of the governor's
suite and the cafeteria. The house
and senate committee rooms will
also be ventilated, but the work
will not commence until after the
1949 session. v
Westerns bid was the lowest of
four submitted. The air-conditioning
fund of $52,375.09 appropriated
by a prewar legislature will be
augmented by receipts fron state-
owned property;
Te Ask Legislators
The legislature will be asked for
$115,000 to buy the remainder of
the eastern half of the block just
north of the state library and to
divide Summer street between
Chemeketa and Center streets. The
board, which owns two parcels,
hopes to have the half block by
the time the highway department
starts its new office structure in
the block just east of Summer and
north of Chemeketa street.
Building Date Uncertain
When that highway building will
be started is as yet uncertain. The
department has purchased all but
one piece of property in the block
and has authorized drawing of an
agreement with Whitehouse,
Church Newberry and Roehr, ar
chitects who designed the state of
fice building now under construc
tion, officials said Tuesday.
The board of control has $22,210
left in the land-purchase fund, out
of $100,000 appropriated in 1943.
It is expected that $60,000 will be
needed to' buy the three remaining
pieces of property in the half

Cop-Whippers
Whipped; Pay
$330 in Fines
Two traveling salesmen who
"Just wanted to whip a cop were
fined $330 in municipal court on
three different charges.
They are Clayton W. Ebele,
Oregon City, and Sam Matthew
Ivison. Portland.
Eisele paid $125 on a charge
of being drunk and disorderly.
While his companion. Ivison, was
fined $205 for driving while in
toxicated and, without an ope
rator's license. Ivison also was
handed a 30-day suspended sen
tence and had his driver's license
revoked for one year.
The episode leading to the
men's arrest began in the Holly
wood district earlv Tuesday
morning as Officer Harley Cor
dray was walking his beat
Cordray said he stopped a panel
delivery truck to question the
operator about his driving. Sud
denly, he said. Eisele and Ivison
piled out of the truck shouting
we can lick any cop in Salem.
In the ensuing scuffle Cordray
broke his right hand as he flat
tened Eisele. Noting the fate of
his partner, Ivison jumped Into
the truck and fled. A few min
utes later he was arrested by an
other officer north of Hollywood
and charged with driving while
intoxicated.
The two men met again at the
city jail a few minutes later when
Cordray brought Eisele into the
station to be booked for intoxi
cation and disorderly conduct.
Despite his fractured hand Cor
dray was back working Tuesday
night. They said they could lick
anyone on the force, but they
weren t even able to whip me-
the smallest man on the force," he
remarked at headquarters.

At State Mtet
PORTLAND, Nov. 9 -ajK The
Oregon Baptist state convention
today refused to seat a group of
delegates reDresen tins an estimat-N
ed 60 per cent of the 91 state con
gregations.
The dispute will come on the
floor again tomorrow morning,
however. But in the meantime the
group refused seats .registered at
a separate table after a fruitless
three hour debate.
Dr. Ralph Walker, pastor of the
first Baptist cnurch, Portland, r
ported tne ousted group repre
sents a conservative element
which had been dissatisfied with
activities of the more liberal par
ent organization.

First Baptist church was among
