Grid, Baldock Bridge Plan
1 WEST SALEM, March 7 The city council of West Salem renewed
.its endorsement of the Baldock highway traffic plan at a meeting here
tonight. I
: The council ordered a letter to the Salem city council, which
will act on the $7,600,000 bridge, highway routing and one-way street
, . pun March 14, in which West Salem expresses the belief that "the
success of the entire pjan is mug- i
-d upon adoption! the grid sys-
? tem of one-way streets in Salem
; D roper
. Mayor Walter Musgrave, who
drafted the letter, told nls coun
i cil he felt the plan for a new
bridge between Salem and West
Salem might be sidetracked if Sa
: Jem were unwilling to establish
! the one-way streets. The Baldock
-Dlan calls for a new two-lane
bridge leaving Salem at Marion
street, with that bridge and the
; present Center street bridge each
carrying one-way traffic.
In other action the West Salem
-, council:
"i Endorsed a public utilities ap
plication by John Ratzlaff to es
tablish direct bus service from
eSalem to coastal points via West
. Salem and Dallas.
i Refused Portland General FJec-
trie company permission to replace
lm power pole on Edgewater street
; near Puritan market. Councilman

It and the law provides that PGE

: It must service a customer.

iTaf t Supports
r Rilling to Bar
Filibustering
i WASHINGTON, March 7 J&t
i Senator Taft "(R-Ohio) today
I threw his weight behind a crumb
ling administration effort to break
a southern democratic filibuster
itn the senate.
Taft who beads the senate GOP
i policy committee, told reporters
: that if Vice President Barkley
: rules that debate can be limited
en a motion to take up a proposed
senate rules change be will sup
' port that ruling.
Administration forces have
made a motion to take up a pro-
posed rules change under which
debate could be curbed at any
' time that two - thirds of those
.- present so decided. -
. The proposed rule was offered
; as a prelude to an attempt to pass
. civil rights legislation, and south-
emers are filibustering against the
motion.
If Barkley should so decide, his
ruling would be appealed to the
senate as a whole. And an admin
titration lieutenant, who asked
not to be quoted by name, said
today that leaders have become
convinced they can't muster
enough votes to make Barkley's
; ruling stick. Only a majority
, would be necessary to uphold such
-n ruling.
If the administration leaders
. fail in that move, there is some
doubt that they will try seriously
at this time to wear out the 19
southerners who are primed for
lengthy talks.

WASHINGTON, March 7 -WV
The senate; armed services com
mittee will decide tomorrow

the nomination of former Gov. Mon
C. WaUgren of Washington to be

President Truman's selection of
WaUgren, his close personal friend,

been "soft" toward communists
during his term as governor and
asserted he has not shown the abil
ity needed for the important post
of coordinating civilian and mili
tary activities during an emergen
cy, f
WaUgren denied the charges
and said he u strongly opposed
to communism. He said he felt his
terms as a representative, a sena
tor and governors- over a period of
13 years hadi fitted turn for the
job. :
