Tenant Protection Stressed
In Letter to Governor McKay
(Story also on page 1)
t a n. . ....
ii uov, Douglas McKay ap
proves the Salem city council re
quest for decontrol of rent in this
area then the matter will go be
fore the national housing expedi
ter for final approval.
If the governor turns thumbs
down on the proposal it will die
and Salem will continue under a
rent ceiling.
The decontrol proposal was de
feated in the city council by a tie
vote at its first appearance. At a
subsequent session the council re
considered its previous action and
approved the measure.
A group of landlords, spear
headed by the local Home and
Property Owtiers organization,
presented the decontrol measure
to the council. The landlords
maintained that 12 per cent Of Sa
lem's available housing is vacant
and declared that decontrol would
tend to level off rents and allow
property owners to improve rental
units.
In a stinging blast released
Wednesday, the Marion-Polk: Pro
gressive club, in a letter to the
governor, asserts, "it is the; tan
ants of Salem who need protect
ion, not the landlords."
The club, in asking the gover
nor hot to decontrol this area,
points out that rents on certain
rentals increased 66 per cent when
controls were removed between
July, 1947, and April, 1949.!
The letter also states that the
present law provides landlords
with 14 different reasons to,; raise
rents; and that rents were in
creased on 80 rental units ip Sa
lem since the first of JanuaryVOne
large apartment hou.-e. the letter
declares, has raised its rents twice
sincei July, 1947.
Labors view of the situation, as
represented by Barker, is that Sa
lem does not have adequate rental
housing to permit decontrol , now.
In contrast the landlord's state
ment, Barker claims that much
less than 3 per cent of Salem's
housing is available for renters.
H.,X. (Hub) Saalfeld, Marion
county veterans service officer,
said ; his view was simply 'j thisi

Death Claims
Robert Clarke
At Home Here
Dr. Robert Clarke, 61, retired
osteopathic physician, died Wed
nesday at his residence at 460
Morgan, ave., following an illness
of several years.
He came here in 1944 from Chi
cago where for a number of years
he was a member of the faculty
on the Chicago College of Osteo
pathy, holding the chair of respir
atory diseases.
Clarke moved to Salem because
of his health and had never prac
ticed here. He was born at Hamil
ton, Ont, May 20, 1889. His form
al education was completed at tne
Chicago College of Osteopathy
where he was graduated in isz.
Before that he attended the Ame
rican College of Physical Educa
tion in Chicago for a year, spent
two years at Loyola university
medical school in Chicago, and
devoted a year to special acade
mic and scientific studies at the
University of Chicago.
He was active in furthering the
cause of osteopathy during his
Drofessional career and was in
strumental in securing favorable
legislation for that profession in
the state of Illinois. He was presi
dent of the Illinois State Osteo
pathic society during 1932-33, and
was formerly a staff-member of
the Chicago Osteopathic hospital,

WATCHMAKER NAMED
Appointment of Howard M. Lee,
Portland, as a member of the
board of examiners in watchmak
ing and clockmaking, was announ
ced by Gov. Douglas McKay Wed
nesday. He succeeds J. H. Peare,
LaGrande, who has resigned. Lee
will serve until July 8, 1951.
j control issue I believe that any de
control resolution should be based
on an adequate survey of the
available housing, rents charged
and other data."
"Many veterans, most with fam
ilies, are seeking rental units at
average rent rates. They can't
seem to find them. The question
is are there enough rental units
here? I don't believe there are.
Decontrol of rents here is going to
affect a lot of veterans."
As an example of the need for
rental units, Saalfeld told of an ad
which ran for two days in The
Statesman recently. It advertised
a two-bedroom home for rent for
$60 per month. A total of 89 calls
were received on the ad, Saalfeld
said.
Another source of information
on Salem's rent situation is con
tained in the report of A. Bandet
tini, regional rent field representa
tive, who made a brief check of
Salem's rental area.
He reported that waiting lists
for rental housing accommoda
tions here have increased during
the past 60 days to a point where
they are larger now than at any
time during the past six months.
An average of 12 apartments and
six houses were advertised for
rent
The information in the report
Is sketchy except that some unit
are rated as "poor or fair" arid one
was "charging $22.50 per month
over the ceiling rent' Two three
room unfurnished apartments
were renting at $65 and $75 per
month each, the report noted. Of
the 68 houses under construction
and 84 houses completed and
ready for occupancy the report
said all were either for occupancy
by the owner or held for sale.
Meanwhile the governor faces
a tough nut to crack in the rent
decontrol problem. Landlords
want it, veterans and labor don't
and progressives say a Chicago
federal court recently declared the
local option law unconstitutional.

Reductions of Failures Among
College Freshmen Possible,
Educators Emphasize at OCE
By Marguerite Wlttoser Wright
Staff Writer. Tha Statesman
MONMOUTH, July 20 -(Special)- It is inevitable that some high
school graduates wiU fail in college but steps can be taken to lower
the mortality rate.
That seemed to be the consensus of eight educators who discussed
flunking freshman today at the Oregon College of Education.
Criticism directed at high schools is not always justified, as the
primary job of secondary schools
is not to prepare stuoenis Tor
higher education, but to prepare
them for life. Prof. Matthew
Thompson said. Over-emphasis
on formal disciplines in mathe
matics is unnecessary because
colleges are going to eliminate a
portion of the enrollment anyway
since "they don't want to train
too many people."
There just . isn't room for too
many professional workers, Wil
liam Weist pointed out. He added
that glamorizing white collar jobs
in movies and literature and par
ents' hooes for their children
paint a false picture. Counsellors
in high schools should encourage
young oeople to enter the lite
work for which they are best
suited and in which there are
opportunities, whether it reauires
college training or not, Weist
said.
Advisors need to set different
goals for different groups: levels
of aspiration should be equal to
opportunities for achievement.
Dr. Dennis Baron said.
Dr. William B. Ragan felt that
junior colleges where the cultural
resources of the nation would be
available to those who cannot at
tend four-year universities would
be a solution to the problem of
educating "everyone" even though
not everyone can pass university
tests. If CCC camps, NYA pro
grams and juvenile delinquency
are to be avoided during the com
ing recession, young people must
be kept in school beyond high
school to keep them from flooding
the labor force, he reasoned.
Dr. Victor Phelps said the most
that can be asked of a student is
that he achieve the best he can
do. Less encouragement to work
for grades and more incentives
toward acquiring a broad educa
tion would be a step forward, he
said.
Elma Henkle urged more atten
tion in grade schools to teaching
children to read since that in
ability is one imDortant factor in
later failures. And Dr. H. Kent
Farley defended present teacher
training methods. Dr. H. Barry
Rose, visiting lecturer in psychol
ogy from Arizona, acted as mode
rator. The meeting was broadcast
over KOAC and will be rebroad
cast at a time to be announced
later.

Reds Renew Outstretched Hand
To Catholics to Fight Vatican

communist taint.
The French communist party,
Moscow's bellwether in, the west,
issued the signal over the week
end. An echo was beard in Italy,
where the communists have been
strongest anywhere outside the
Russian orbit
"Well will continue our policy
of the hand extended to the Cath
olics." declared Maurice Thorez,
Frances No. 1 communist. "We
are sure that the hands that were
joined in the battles of liberation
will not be unclasped.
Tborez speaks with the author

for instance, who first pronounced
the communist stand that reds
would welcome invading Soviet
armies. It was Thorez No. 2 man
Jacques Duclos, who read ' Earl
Browder, the American communist
leader, out of the party a few
years ago. It was Thorez, away
back in 1938, who first pronounced
the "outstretched hand policy.
Meanwhile, Palmiro Togliatti,
leader of Italy's 2,300,000 com
munists, tried to assure catholics
they could be communists and fol
lowers of the church at the same
time that communism does "not
enter into the consciences of the
militant.
The original "outstretched hand"
policy was promulgated in 1938 as
a weapon of infiltration. It pro-"
f essed communist friendship for all
who would join a "popular front"
against fascism. The Hitler-Stalin
pact of 1939 abruptly shifted the
policy, but it changed again af

communist propaganda was muf
