Of Portland Upon Hinterland?
Dependence on the port of Portland upon development of the
northwest "hinterland" was stressed by D. J. McGarity, general manag
er for th Portland port commission, in a talk Monday noon before
Salem Chamber of Commerce.
He reminded that a postwar port development committtee had
urgently recommended improvement of the Willamette river channel
as far upriver as Eugene, lor all
year navigation.
McGarity outlined recent growth
of Portland's port, which he said
before World War II had only a
small portion of the nation's trade
despite its strategic location. Dur
ing the war, he noted, the port be
came one of the first 10 In the
nation in cargo handled, as well
as a leader in shipbuilding, in spit
of lack of facilities.
That progress was accomplished,
according to the speaker, without
expenditure of federal funds for
terminals or equipment and des-
Dite the lack of cooperation by the s
i Soviet, for which Portland handled !

Since the "economy of Oregon

world markets, requiring water

that -Portland is only a gateway

Warships Sunk
(Picture on page 1)
, By Dob Caxisea
SHANGHAI, Tuesday, May 3
(iTV The Chinese nationalist!
claimed today their air force had
sunk six warships captured when
the communists .took over Nan
king. The nationalist claim was car
ried by the iovernment's Chinese
central news agency.
Meanwhile the ) Red radio said
a communist army column had
reached Kimen. 200 miles south
west of Nanking, and linked up
with Red guerrillas operating in
that area.
Central News said Chinese air
force planes also have destroyed
more than 10.000 Red troops. 600
trucks. 300 animal carts and 500
wooden river craft in bombing and
strafing missions for .the past 10
days. It said the main units of the
nationalist air force were centered

Playground,
Street Complete
In West Salem
(Story also on page 1)
WEST SALEM. May 2-(Special)
-Whether 7th street should be ex
tended to the west or property, in
the extension area be acquired for
playground purposes is under con
sideration by the city council here.
Council members agreed to stu
dy the possibilities after Council
man L. Y. Sheridan countered Earl
Burk's street extension report
with a playground proposal. Coun
cilman Burk said only one house
would have to be moved to clear
the way for extending 7th street
from Gerth to Rosemont avenue.
Later opening of remainder of 7th
street between Rosemont and
Piedmont, now half open, would
give West Salem a second east
west through street, he added.
Sheridan pointed out that prop
erty along Rosemont in that area
is well suited to playground use
because it is a natural gathering
place for children of the heavily
residential areas nearby"
Mayor Walter Musgrave told
the council he is recommending to
Salem Postmaster Albert Gragg
and to the Oregon congressional
delegation a change in postal serv
ice to bring West Salem up to the
classified substation level, with
actual mail handling in a West Sa
lem postal building. Part of the
Salem postoffice area. West Sa
lem now has only a contract sta
tion. The council authorized an agree
ment with the city of Salem for
weekly street cleaning service
along Edgewater street at a cost
of $7 to $10 for the overtime la
bor of Salem city workers invol
ved. Annual meeting of the citizens'
budget committee with the council
was called for May 16 at city hall.
City park improvements figur
ing in the meeting are a new
drinking fountain, already install
ed, and fencing for the wading
pool, authorized for erection thu
spring. K
A package beer license was rec
ommended to the state liquor com
mission for Walter White of King
wood market who said he is seek
ing such a license to meet compe
tition of other markets.
