Taylor Ztmtt Writer Th StlTKmin Airplanes were taking off and sitting down just as fast aa harried control tower could aim and flash the, green light Sunday at McNary field, as Salem crowds celebrated Aviation day. Crowds estimated at nearly 5.000 persons withstood a hot sun alternately on their backs and in their eyes, to thrill to he action of yearly 200 aircraft from tome not as high as a man's .head to four-motored airliners carrying 44 passengers. After showing that such an ed ucational show, without life-risk-ingj aerobatics, could be fun and a fasjt-rnoving experience. Airport Manager Charles Barclay and the locpl air service operators were confident that this would be the stafter for an annual event. Although pilots had near-per-fecit flying weather most of the spectators had to "fly blind with ceiling zero in order to get to the airport's w est side. The stream o jtraffic threw an almost contin ii.us dust screen up from South 2th street The day was free from casual ties, among both flie-s and crowd. mong competitive events, only one first place was to a Salem Tier, but other local pilots cap tufed two second and two thirds.

He said he based this prediction largely n action taken at Friday's meeting of the-board when several requests or- addit ional funds were deferred because the applicants had not consulted with the state budget director and received his recommendation.

Dewey order an investigation of the three-hour riot that broke up a scheduled concert by the negro singer last night in PeekskilL N. Y. At least eight persons were injured in the riot, two seriously. Robeson also charged at a press conference that laxity of local au thorities caused the riot, touched off by marching veterans' groups which had announced plans; to si lence the singer. Similar calls for action by the governor came from Rep. Vito Marcantonio, New York : state American labor party chalirman, and officials of the civil i rights congress, a branch of which plan ned the concert. Asks Officials Ousted Marcantonio said the attack on the concert ' was organized with the direct knowledge and aid" of two Westchester county officials. He demanded that the governor oust them. Marcantonio said the two offi cials were County Clerk Robert J. field and Assistant District At torney Leonard Rubenfeld.; Neither Field nor Rubenfeld could be reached for comment. The civil rights congress,; which has been listed as a subversive organization by former U. iS. 'At torney General Tom Clark,, de manded the arrest of sever&l per sons they said Were "storrotroop er leaders who incite to vio lence." Said Police Stayed Away The congress also accused Peek skill and state police of staying away from the scene until the riot was well underway although they "were well aware of the fact that mob action was being planned." Meanwhile, some 1,500 persons, many of them persons who went to hear last night's concert, gath ered this afternoon at the estate of Dr. Samuel Rosen, at Katonah, N. H. The estate, about 10 miles from the scene of the riot, also was the scene of a rally for Henry Wal lace's progressive party during last year's election campaign. Asked for Protection Mrs. Rosen said she had asked state police to send protection for today's meeting because of "a number of crank calls" and the fact that suspicious-looking per sons had gathered at the foot of a hill near the estate. Several state police were 8ent to the Rosen home and patrolled the roads leading to the estate. The meeting voted to organize a "committee for law and order" in Westchester county and to send a delegation tomorrow to Gov. Dewey and ' New York Attorney General Nathaniel Goldstein. To Seek Removal. Spokesman for the group said the delegation would demand the removal of several Westchester county officials from office, ac cusing them of "knowingly fail ing to provide adequate police protection" at the concert Henry Wallace, lecturing at a Young progressive meeting in South Fallsburg, N. Y., issued a statement expressing regret that his home county of Westchester had Joined "the roll of shame." "I though New York was Im mune to this kind of thing." Wal lace said, "and I am sure that the state authorities will take prompt action to investigate the situation and prosecute all those respons ible." BOY DROWNS AT WALDPORT WALDPORT.

Administration officials are re ported to believe this could be done without going to congress for approval of the action. This would not be the first time the United States has relaxed the provision of the W46 loan agreement to help the British. In1947, the treasury department freed the British from the obliga tion jof converting all pounds into dollars on request, after a "run" on the British treasury threatened to deplete all of Britain's scare dol lar supply.
