Readers of The Oregon Statesman responded with enthusiasm
Wednesday when announcement was made of the forthcoming change
to seven-day publication.

growth of Salem in population and
importance among western cities.
Here are some typical com
ments: "It's something I've been want
ing a long time," said Marion
County Judge Grant Murphy. "I've
missed The Statesman on Monday
more than a person would think
. . . I like to read a paper in the
morning while my mind is alert."

"Everyone at the chamber of
commerce is proud that the city is
to have a seven-day paper, beam
ed Clay Cochran with the enthusi
asm befitting a chamber of com
merce manager. "Salem is the sec
ond largest city in Oregon, and
The Statesman is growing right
along with Salem.
"It certainly will be nice." said

weT
a.

Don rumsirer, a county omce
worker said "I never could break
myself of the habit of going to the
porch for The Statesman on Mon
days. Now I can find it.
Dr. Gerald Smith of Woodburn
felt that Salem's growth war
ranted the move, as did Father
Hildebrand of Mt. Angel who
wished The Statesman success.
City Manager R. E. Borland at
Silverton thought it "a fine thing.
The Statesman is to be congratu
lated."
I think it's a good idea," was
the way a housewife, Mrs. Orval
Chaftain, 1096 S. 21st St., put it.
Wallace Cowan, theatre manag
er: "A good thing as this town
sure needs a seven-day news
paper. After all we are a state
capital."
Caa Start Week Right
Carl LincUtrom, teacher: "That's
just what I've been waiting for.
Now I can start the week right."
Iola Koop, elevator operator: "It
will be nice to know what has
happened over the week end
around Salem on Monday morn
ings" Harry Brian, druggist: "Nearly
every Monday morning customers
ask where they can get a local
paper. Now they can get one."
Mae Farber, downtown Salem
waitress: Hfs wonderful and all
our customers this morning com
mented on it. When you're used to
reading The Statesman every
morning, you sure miss it on Mon
day." George Porter, director of adult
education. "I think it's wonderful.
So much news happens between
the Sunday and Tuesday editions,
end now the gap will be covered."

Civil Rights
Fight Blocks
Housing Bill
WASHINGTON, April 20 -(JPy-Ao
explosive new row over civil
rights embroiled the senate today
this time with southern senators
calmly sitting back and watching
their northern colleagues battle lt
out.
But the Dixie lawmakers were
ready, if necessary, to jump in
with their heavies oratorical ar
tillery. The clash developed over a
move by republican senators
Bricker (Ohio) and Cain (Wash)
to write an anti-segregation clause
into the proposed federal long
range housing bill. It delayed a
final vote on the legislation.
Senators who favor both civil
rights and public housing balked
at the anti-segregation amend
ment. With an eye on the south
erners, they said it would prob
ably kill the housing bill.
The housing program calls for
the construction of 810,000 public
dwelling units in the next six
years.

First Aiders Beat
Stork to Hospital
Salem first aid men raced the
stork to Salem Memorial hospital
Wednesday and won.
They picked up Mrs. Ernest
Morgan of Oregon City at the
corner of Chemeketa and South
High streets and whisked her off
to the hospital in time for her to
give birth to a premature baby
girl.
Mother and daughter were re
ported as "doing fine'' at the hos
pital last night. The little girl Is
in an incubator. Time of birth was
4:06 p.m. Mrs. Morgan said her
husband is with the army in Ger

expected ly beckoned. I
Radio Beams
Guide Pilots to
Salem Runway
Radio beams, instead of a green
light, began guiding planes onto
McNary field Tuesday following
installation of radio signaling
equipment in the control tower
Monday.
Previously only the ground light
aided planes in landing and take
offs. The VFW (very high fre
quency) receivers and transmitters
are the type used by the larger
planes and by many of the small
er ones.
Stanley W. Dilatush, chief con
troller at the CAA tower, remind
ed plane operators that planes
landing at the field at night are
no longer required to pay a fee.
Although the new device makes
for greater safety on the field it is
not to be confused with the non
directional landing system which
the Air Line Pilots association has
demanded be installed here by
October 1, Dilatush said.
The equipment, called a "hom
ing" non-directional landing de
vice, keeps planes on a radio beam
as they prepare to land even when
the pilot is flying blind. The radio
equipment installed Monday only
directs take-offs and landings of
plane which have the field in
sight.
The non - directional system
probably will not be installed here
until after the CAA makes a sur
vey of the local field and recom
mends lt, it was reported.
Radio fHams'
Meet, Discuss
Disaster Work
Salem radio amateurs discussed
disaster operations, as a follow-up
to their work during the recent
earthquake, at a meeting Wed
nesday night.
The recent earthquake empha
sized the need among amateur op
erators for practice in message
handling between cities of Oregon
and the northwest, it was indicated
by Hollis Epley, Carl Lindstrom
and . D. Roseman, all of Salem,
Who relayed many messages of in
quiry to people in the earthquake
region through the Oregon emer
gency net.
The network of amateur radio
stations in the Pacific coast states
carries on scheduled communica
tion practice daily.
Epley, emergency coordinator
for Salem, called the Wednesday
night meeting of radio amateurs
to discuss means in interesting
more operators in emergency com
munication activity.
