Parents Say " "
Boys' Group
Not Secretive
(Story also on page 1)
Strong objection to secret so
cieties were voiced Wednesday
by a number of parents of boys,
who are charged with secret so
ciety activities.:;
The opposition to the societies
came in the trijal here Tuesday of
18 Salem high school students
against the Salem district school
board. The boys were expelled by
the board last October for al
leged secret society activities.
Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Lebold said
they were against secret - society
and that they did not think the
ABC club wa secret Mrs. Lebold
said she considered the club open
and above-board. She said she
would not have permited her son,
.Gene, to join if she had considered
it to be secret.!
All the parents admitted reading
a pamphlet, i distributed at the
start of the school years, outlining
the school authorities' stand
against secret groups. Nearly all
said they had not contacted any
faculty member concerning the
boys club because they did not
think the club concerned - the
school at alU - !
Some of the boys testified that
the legality of the club had been
discussed at some of their meet
ings, but that they considered it
to be a legal group. One boy said
he discussed the club openly with
a Salem high coach and with sev
eral teachers. -
Anson O. Bridges testified that
an the parents present at the Oc
tober 10 meeting with the school
board prior to expulsion, were
given a chance to talk.
He said many of the parents ex
pressed themselves freely about
the club. He added that the board
members "did not appear interest
ed and did not ask any questions."

WASHINGTON,' Feb. 21
Secretary of State Acheson serv
ed notice on congress today that
American "spot aid" , will still be
needed after the four-year Euro
pean recovery program ends in
1952.
There has been talk of such a
need before, but this is the first
time the administration has made
it so flat and official.
The secretary, also warned , that
Russia is showing "signs of in
creasing boldness" in pursuit of
the Kremlin's "design for world
dominion." V . .'.
- Acheson did not set a figure for
"spot aid" to follow thcMarshall
plan, which already . involves
nearly $12,000,000,000 for the first
three years. But he made it clear
that he considers the United States
has no choice but to continue its
foreign aid. ;
The post-1952 ' assistance, he
said, will be required to get indi
vidual nations over the economic
hump.. -'.,: 1 --vi i ,
. Acheson spent most of the day
on Capitol. Hill, first testifying be
fore a joint session of the senate
and house foreign committees In
support of the administration's
plea for $3,100,000,000 to aid Eu
ropean recovery for the third year.
Then he went before the house
foreignaffain committee in a
lively two-hour session in which
a barrage of questions drew from
him the admission that the end of
American aid is not yet in sight
The cabinet, members said the
extent of future aid depends on
the success of: America's efforts
to "close the dollar gap.!

For an End to

(Story also on page 1.)
In announcing his candidacy
Tuesday for the democratic nom
ination for governor. State Treas
urer Walter J. Pearson issued this
statement: :
MI propose to return to the
people of Oregon the government
of their state. For over a quarter
of a century Oregon's government
has been under one-party 'control
whose leadership has been dictat
ed by ultra-conservatives and
special interests. ' My years of ex-1
perience as ' a ' legislator, . state
treasurer and member of the state
board of control have convinced .
me of the urgent . necessity to
act now in behalf of all the people.
"Oregon is the fastest growing
state in the Union." We cannot :
be satisfied with a - policy of
What's wrong with the way we .
are doing it now? Unless demo- t
cracy looks to the future-and i
progresses, it will die. You cannot '
have liberty and freedom unless
you are tolerant, and willing for
all the people to share in their '
government.
"Realizing that the voters of
OrftiTftn urant a aVi on rr tn 4hV4aA .1
government, members of both
parties have urged me to become
a candidate for governor. For
personal reasons I have been re
luctant to make the race. Demo
crats from all walks of life
throughout the state want nom- .
inee who has always believed la
the democratic platform and ad- !
hered to the principles of the
party.
"The democratic party is more
important, than any individual.
I believe firmly the ballot should !
be full from top to bottom so :

primaries to select the nom-

"Believing in that fundamental
principle, I shall continue to offer
my service in behalf of the nartv
and for the good of the state as
a whole. Further, I urge all other .
democrats who believe in the lib
eral planning of our party, to
join me in the campaign by filing
for the legislature and every other
