MarcusDefends Bulb Garaens! At Hearing At I L. E. Marcus, owner and oper ator of Sherwood bulb gardens, went on the witness stand . at a hearing conducted : by the state agricultural 'department here Tues day night in defense of charges of fraud, deception and misrepresen tation in the sale of nursery stock by his concern. Marcus, fighting for renewal of his nursery license,; denied em phatically that complaints he had received from Customers were out of line when his volume of busi?, ness is considered. I Figures were presented showing that in the 1946 season he transact ed a business of $60,000 while the following season the business had increased to $375,000. During (the last season the business exceeded $1,000,000, he said. Based on this business, Marcus continued, the complaints would hot aggregate more than one half of one per cent. "In all instances, to the best of my ability and knowledge, I have followed my advertising claims re ligiously,'' Marcus averred. He said however, that many orders had not been filled promptly due largely to weather conditions, failure to receive shipments from producers, the Van port flood and strikes. Marcus contradicted state's wit nesses that he had been negligent in, making refunds. In making mer chandise readjustments Marcus said it was his policy to send cus tomers a wbetter quality of bulbs than originally ordered. . ! j Marcus stressed that so far as he knew no diseased or dead nursery stock had ever been shipped to customers from his plant. Several of Marcus' empl6yes pre ceded him on the witness stand, including . Mrs. Lillian .MeClain, plant supervisor for the gardens in Portland; Mrs. May Morgan, swing shift supervisor of the Portland plant, and Elvin Dapper. Both Mrs. MeClain and Mrs. Morgan testified. that bulbs handled by the gardens are first class quality. . L G. PRESCOTT, Jeweler Ready for WATCH. CLOCK.

Lasting Effects of Atom Bomb Related by Japanese Minister The lingering atomic death that made Hiroshima a symbol of modern warfare was described vividly Tuesday at a Salem Kiwams club meeting by the Rev. Kiyoshi Tanimoto, Japanese Methodist min ister who survived the blast. It was four years ago this Saturday, Tanimoto recalled, that an army B-29 dropped the bomb tnat orougnt instant deatn to an esumat ed 100,000 persons and eventual death to as many more in the months that followed. " Tanimoto, who was a mile from the center of explosion, remem bers no sound of an explosion only a blinding flash, a ' strong wind, hours of intense radiant heat and the; anguished cries of thou sands Who were trapped under burning debris. ' 1 . "I climbed to a hillside and look ed at our bowl-like city, surround ed by mountains, and it looked as if hundreds of B-29s had attacked continuously for hours," he said. Tanimoto, cited' for heroism in fescue work by John Hersey in his book "Hiroshima," said the ex plosion was heard 25 miles from Hiroshima but that people in that city heard nothing. They were stunned into insensibility, he said. No one could imagine what had happened. Death came months after the ex plosion to many doctors, nurses and rescue workers who touched the debris and suffered slow death from radio - active elements, he said. Survivors of the tragedy feel no intense hate and seek only to re build their country, Tanimoto said. Many feel the bomb was a bless ing in that it ended the war-and opened a new life guided by demo cratic principles to the Japanese, he said. Tanimoto, who was educated in the United States before returning to conduct his parish in Japan in 1940, is now touring this country as a guest of the board of com missions and church extension of the Methodist church.
