Ganrware City Editor, The Statesman With a j sample of winter rain already showing, Salem's city council will pursue its drainage Improvement planning at a Mon day nighti session In city hall. Financing of the $100,000 drainage project which has been authorized may bring a clash of opinion to the council floor, al though the project itself has been labeled a "must" by Just about every councilman, city of ficial and! citizen. The council gave City. Man ager J. L. Franzen a go-ahead last month on a northeast Salem drainage ! system to be financed from the $815,000 sewage dis - posal bond fund, but several questions! were raised over this method of financing at that time and have been reiterated since. Dtp 0KSDOO0 WDODS The city special election set for Friday, October 14th is an import ant one. The issues are simple, but because they are simple vot ers should not Just take It for S anted they will carry and neglect vote.

While the text Is long the only change made is to in crease this number of aldermen from seven to eight. This is urged on the assumption that the merger with Wesi lalem will be approved. Then thai city eouncll would put (he territory west of the river in the eighth ward. Even if the merger should fall, whleh is highly improbable the addition of another ward giving another alderman in the council would net be amiss. As It Is now the mayor and seven aldermen all vote, and when the division is four to four the vote is indecisive, though of course the proposition loses in sueh a case. The recommendation is to Vote 100 X Yes. fecoad.

Mystery Blast Shakes Houses In Eola Area A mysterious blast In the Eola district four miles west of Salem, shook houses and touched off a wave of excitement In that area about 7:30 p. m. Sunday. . Residents placed the scene of the explosion in a hop field about 100 yards south of the Salem-Dallas highway. Several searchers tramped through the area without finding a clue to its nature. 1 Paul Schwynoch, one of the first to reach the scene, said he saw two clouds of white smoke which quickly disappeared. He said there was a strong powder smell which he thought had been high explos ives rather than dynamite or black powder. Ray Etter, another Investigator, said it sounded like a land mine. Boyd Hilton, who lives in the area, said the blast was loud enough to be a couple of big sticks of dyna mite. At least 15 houses were fair ly close to the scene of the blast, according to Hilton.

Players Snares According to an unofficial source, each full Yankee share will amount to about $5,884.21 and each Brooklyn share $4,184.59.

New York got to Wild Man Barney for two in the first and knocked him out during the three run third; Gerry Coleman's single with the bases loaded drove in two runs and flattened Barney. Joe DiMaggio, who had only one hit in 16 previous trips to the plate, hit a 360-foot-homer off Reliefer Banta in the fourth after the Brooks broke Raschi's shutout bid with a run in the third. Gene Woodling. who laced Brook pitching for two doubles and a single set up another run in the fifth with his leadoff double.

In the seventh the tiring Raschi was chased. A walk to Snider Jorgensen, Snider's single and Robinson's outfield fly accounted for one run. After Raschi passed Hermans ki.

The) communists ran a poor fourth,! final unofficial returns from the parliamentary election showed early today. The conservative people's party of Chancellor Leopold Figl won 77 of the 165 seats in parliament's lower chamber. The socialists se cured 07 seats, the league of in dependents 16 and the communists five. In the last previous election in 1S45 Ihe 'people's party won 85 seats, the socialists 76 and the communists our. The league of independents did not take part In that election, held at a time when former nazis were barred from voting.

Sea Lion Bests British Channel In Five Hours DOVER Eng., Oct. 9-(?V Pierre, the California sea lion, flippered across the) English channel today in the smashing time of Just over five hours. The newest channel swimmer made his bid for fame and radio, television and movie contracts as part of a stunt for the radio pro gram, "Truth or Consequences. Condemned to assist in managing the venture was Burt Kennedy who missed a question in a states side quiz. Pierre plunged gleefully into the cold surf at Cape Gris Nez at 9:36 a. m., Grenwich mean time, and flipped onto the pebbly beach east of St Margaret's bay at 2:40 p. m. Only 18 months old, Pierre thus la the youngest channel swimmer and the fastest. The swiftest crossing by man is a little over 11 hours. A 30-foot line, held by his trainer, Ross' McBride, who rode in a rowboat towed by a motorboat, was attached to Pierre to keep him from wandering off course too far. It was a loping, diving, leering crossing. Sometimes Pierre raced ahead, apparently not noticing any tides or currents, if there were any. At others he headed for France, and appeared to be towed back ward. Then there were times when the line pointed straight down into the dark green depths. McBride said that was when he was look ing, for fish and perhaps finding some. Now and then his handlers tos sed out one of the 35 herring, which they had brought along, and Pierre lunched aa he swam. aide of the Santiam river. It is to be bounded by a line beginning Just east of the Detroit ranger sta tion near the Breitenbush river, and then running north and east for about two miles, then east and south for about six miles to Macy creek east of Idanha. Reasons advanced for the pro posal are that the area will bene fit from state funds if incorporated and that Joining the two towns of Detroit and Idanha wiH produce unified and better police, water. power and sewage systems. Opponents to the proposal stress the distance between Detroit and Idanha and disapprove on the grounds lt Is useless to Incorporate so much 'wild land into a single sir. .;. alotd Defeal CIL II II.
