An observer at the city council
(nee tine Monday night could see
the famed "democratic process

level. It wasn't quite a New Eng
land town meeting there was no
poll taken of the audience. But
the session did provide an open
forum for discussion of two sub
jects on which public opinion was
sharply divided: adoption of day
light saving tim and adoption of
a resolution lor city-state coope
ration on rerouting of traffic on
state highways in Salem. I do not
believe the argument changed any
votes in either case, bec!ie both
subjects had been quite fi:lly con
sidered by councilmen previously
andt they had made up their
minds how to vote. But all who
cared to speak were given an
opportunity to be heard. The old
right of petition was respected.
Another - thing to be noted is
that the debate was almost uni
formly in good temper. While
feelings ran deep on the two

themselves to arguments and

rural communities were well rep

Steps Assared
Bartlett and Franzen assured the

would be taken to remodel the Sa

would serve until the city Is able
to secure aa instrument landing
system from the CAA in Wash
ington, D. C.
Mathews said the Salem localizer
has never been satisfactory be
cause of its short range. He said
the "homing transmitter, similar to
a small radio station, would be
satisfactory until an instrument
landing system could be installed.
Randolph advised the committee
to contact Seattle regional CAA of
fices to determine whether it has
requested national CAA officials
for the instrument system. He said
Salem officials, if necessary, should
fo directly to the congressional
budget committee. He also pointed
out that it would require about,
six months to install the machin
ery after it is received.

New Jersey
Rule Broken
JERSEY CITY. N. J, May 10-
tVFrank "Boss" Hague's forces
conceded defeat tonight in tms
city's hotly-fought municipal com
mission election.
Mayor Frank Hasrue Eggers.
nephew of the veteran political
chieftain, issued a statement short
ly after 10 d. m. (EDT). saying:
i "It is the will of the people and
we will abide by their decision."
j Eggers made the statement at
icity hall. He left immediately for
! police headquarters,
i Complete unofficial returns gave
81.117 votes to John V. Kenny,
leader of the fusion slate which has
waged a hard-fought campaign to
unseat Hague.
Eggers received 59,231 votes.
Hague, himself, was not a can
didate but his prestige was.
Voting was extremely heavy In
the morning and afternoon. Offi
cials looked for factory workers
ballots before the 9 p. m. (EDT)
poll dosing to swell the total to
record proportions.
More than 7,500 police, election
deputies and candidates' challeng
ers manned the polls but there
were no major disturbances.
The 73-year-old Hague, an ad
viser to presidents, came out of
semi-retirement to stump for his
ticket. The slate is headed by his
nephew, Frank Hague Eggers, who
became mayor two years ago when
Hague stepped down after 30 years
in the office.
Although he relinquished the
mayoralty, Hague kept a tight hold
on his positions as state democratic
leader and vice chairman of the
National Democratic committee.
The opposition was split into
three camps. The most formidable
was led by John V. Kenny, a one
time Hague lieutenant, who has
charged that the aging leader is a
dictator, attempting to set up
dynasty.
Atlantic Pact
Debate Raises
Defense Point
WASHINGTON. May 10 -(A
The Atlantic pact does not mean
any "Maginot line" defense of
western Europe, not does it sig
nify that a vast army will be
strung along the borders of that
area, senate foreign policy lead
ers said today.
Exactly what the United States
would do in case of an attack;,
on western Europe was left un
said by Chairman Connally (D
Tex) of the senate foreign rela
tions committee, and Senator
Vandenberg (R-Mich).
But Gen. Omar N. Bradley,
army chief of staff, has made
plain that if he had his way.
trategy would be to stop an
invasion, rather than let the con-1
tinent be overrun and then seek
to liberate it later.
The question of how far the.
United States is prepared to go
in meeting such an invasion was i
raised at a senate hearing by :
James P. Warburg, former New

Melting Snow
Sends Streams
Over Banks
PORTLAND. May 9-;p-A hot
sun sent snow-fed streams in the
upper Columbia basin to flood
levels today, but river forecasters
advised that a major flood was not
in prospect.
Columbia tributaries swelled
fast as the fifth successive warm
day melted snowfields in Canada,
northern Washington and Idaho.
The Twisp river in north cen
tral Washington closed a bridge
and creot over a road in the Meth
ow valley. The Kootenai river,
rising three feet a day in north
ern Idaho, threatened a dike near
Bonner? Ferry.
The dike was under repair when
waters began rising. Work crews
scurried to refill the section, only
two feet above the river level. The
main dikes, however, are at the
30-foot mark, and the river Is ex
pected to be up only to 22 feet to
morrow. Observers said there was
no prospect of a major flood like
last year's.
The weather bureau here said
the deep Columbia channel could
handle the run-off without dan
ger, although the lower Columbia
is again expected to reach flood
stage of 15 feet at Vancouver,
Wash., by Friday.
The onlv damatfe nredicted was
In north central Washington. The
Wenatchee river there was only
SH feet below the flood crest of
last year and was expected to go
up another 3 feet and damage farm
fields.

Oregon today, reaching 90 degrees
at Ontario. Other highs: Pendleton

Turner-Aumsville District 5
Votes Cut bi School Tax Levy
TURNER, May lO-(Special)-The
budget committee and school
board of Tumer-Aumsville school
district 5 here last night voted to
lower the district's tax levy from
50.1 to 34.5 mills a reduction of
15.6 mills.
The reduction was made possi
ble, it was explained, because of
a $45,000 surplus in the 1948-49
budget. About $1,500 was saved in
tuition fees when more students
were accommodated at Turner.
Also missing from the 1949-51
budget is an $11,000 appropriation
used to purchase the site of the
proposed Turner-Aumsville high
school building.
Strand Backed by Board
For Dismissing; 'Leftists'
PORTLAND, May 10 -JPy- The
state board of higher education in
effect declared war today on the
leftists who arc criticizing Dr. A.
L. Strand, president of Oregon
State college.
Strand came under attack after
dismissing two professors Dr.
Ralph Spitzer and L. R. La Vallee.
The two said they were fired be
cause of off-campus activity for
the progressive party, and charged
that academic freedom was being
undermined.
Strand denied this, and the fac
ulty backed him up by rejecting
unanimously an appeal from the
dismissed two.
The unnamed leftists began
sending "false statements' through
the mails about the affair. Strand
told the board today. He added
that one of the leftists led the San
Diego State college chapter of the
American Association of Univer
sity Professors to protest to the
Oregon Board against the dismis
sals. The board authorized StraisnS
to confer with the state attorney
general on possible legal action
against the authors of the letters.

The proposed new levy would
raise a total; of $89,700 as com
pared with $129,995 In last year's
record budget. , The proposed
budget includes $20,000 and inter
est on an approved bond issue for
building a new district high school
building between the cities. '
The action preceded a May 16
vote to decide whether the Tur-ner-Aumsville
district should be
dissolved. The committee and
board said a favorable vote on dis
solution would create a $100,000
deficit within the district and
would necessitate disposing of the
$15,000 site of the proposed new
school building.

Plead for State
Of f ice Building
Advantage that would accrue to
the city of Portland, as 'a whole.
j and to the public both inside and
outsiae tne city, through construc
tion of the proposed new $2,500,
000 state office building in East
Portland, was' emphasized by a
group of officials of the east side
Commercial club before the state
board of control Tuesday.
Arguments advanced by the
group were; largely the same as
submitted to a previous board of
control two years ago.
The board said it would Inspect
a number of the proposed sites for
the building and if it is built on
the east side of the Willamette riv
er it porbably will be located in
the Holladay'park addition.
Dean Wells told the board that
Holladay park addition was favor
ed by residents of East Portland
as a site for the new structure
largely because of its central loca
tion and available parking areas.
Wells also stressed that Ralph
E. Lloyd, owner of the Holladay
Addition, had recently indicated a
$25,000,000 development which
would include a hotel, apartment
houses, mercantile -establishments
and other projects. "It is our opin
inion," Wells said, "that location
of the state office building in the
Holladay park addition eventually
would mean creation of a civic
center second to none In the Pa
