warnings to the public will be
arranged for by states.
He cited modern weapons and
long range aircraft as a cause of
the creation of the warning ayi
General Rush pointed to the
lack of International agreement
and understanding In his announ
cement.
Reactivation of the system win
be left to each state. California,
Oregon, Washington and Idaho al
ready have announced such plans.
The air force will coordinate
training of the various states. It
will -provide reserve officers to
train civilian personnel, and it
will foot the bill for twice a year
week long exercises.
Tentative' plans call for three
filter centers to be established in
the Pacific northwest and four In
California. Sites wiU.be announc
ed later. Reports from the filter
center will be relayed to the air
defense command lor necessary
actioninterception, by planes if
a suspended "enemy" plane is re

Union Close
Long Dispute
A long-pending labor contro
versy ended Wednesday when a
union agreement was signed be
tween Salem Teamsters union and
Valley Concrete Co. of Independ
ence. A union picket which had been
placed at the plant nearly six
months ago, has been withdrawn.
The agreement which unionizes
the plant was signed here Wed
nesday by Ward Graham, business
agent for the Teamsters union and
by Arthur Woods, owner of the
company.
The agreement goes into effect
today, said Qraham. It is similar,
he said, to other union-company
agreements. At peak season about
14 men are hired at the plant he
said.
A national labor relations board
suit against the Salem Trades and
Labor council was dismissed in
federal court last week. The
NLRB had asked the court for an
injunction to halt what it said was
an illegal secondary boycott
against the Valley Concrete com
pany. The NLRB had charged that by
picketing the company the , union
was halting work on "important
construction 'jobs" In the Inde
pendence area. The dispute be
gan last summer when the Team
ster's union attempted to organize
the concrete plant.

Air Accident .
NORTHWAY, Alaska, Feb. 22
-(CP)-The eighth air, accident in
exercise Sweetbriar was recorded

an RCAF Dakota transport crash
ed 1 miles south of Whitehorse,
Y.T. Five other crew members
and 13 passengers escaped injury.
The plane's wireless operator
suffered a fractured jaw.
No other details of the "crash
were released.
As a wealth of military . brass
headed by Canada's Defense Min
ister Claxton flooded through the
exercise area, it was disclosed, too,
that a third RCAF jet-propelled
Vampire fighter cracked up yes
terday. It also was learned today that
another pilot escaped injury when
an American F-80 fighter plane
had an accident . in landing at
Whitehorse.
Thus, of the 80-odd U.S.-Cana-
dian aircraft involved in the 11
day exercise, 10 per cent have
been involved in accidents.
Meanwhile, ground troops to
day prepared quietly for tomor

Kill Stock on

The danger of allowing unli

emphasized Wednesday when two
cases of stock-killing were report
ed to Ervin Ward, Marion county
dog control officer.
Ward said four sheep were kill
ed at the William Klaft farm at
Mt. Angel and that four chickens
were killed at the E. Z. Koffman
place near Silverton. Dogs involv
ed in the killings did; not have
collars or licenses and could not
be identified. Ward said.
Ernest Solle, Polk county dog
control officer, Wednesday issued
a warning that persons are get
ting careless about allowing dogs
to roam unlicensed in his territory.
People are losing sheep and
goats, lie said, and dogs will be
picked up unless they are wearing
a license.
Dog tags must be purchased by
a pjn. next Tuesday in both Mar

time owners will pay a $2 penalty

Electronic marvels that duplicate
any road in the world help Ford
build better engines. .
Day and night, at Dearborn, research engineers
are testing present and future Ford engines
with the ultra-modern test faculties housed in ths
new Engine Test Laboratory. Here, fourteen, elec
tronically controlled dynamometers are installed;
each designed to measure and record every detail of
the performance of an engine running under any
given road condition. For instance, it is possible to
discover from these tests how an engine would act if
called upon to drive & car up a hill 500 nuTes long;
Since 1896, when Henry Ford built his first horse
less carriage, the Ford objective has been to create
better can, and to build them more efficiently so that
more people could afford them. Eighteen years ago;
believing that the V-iype, eight-cylinder engine was
the most efficient, Henry Ford's genius found a way
to introduce this superior and more costly power
plant to the low-priced car field (an achievement
still unmatched). Ever since, Ford has based one
claim to supremacy on its exclusive use of the
V-type, eight-cylinder engine among low-priced cars;
The 1950 Ford V-8 engine incorporates many
definite improvements over the 1949 engine, already
unequalled in its field for power, efficiency, flexi
bility, economy, reliability and quiet operation;
Ford knows that continuous experimentation and
testing will develop even better engines to power
the Ford, Mercury and Lincoln vara of the future-
and Tord Trucks and Tractors, too.
The present Dynamometer Building is only one
wing of a building which, when completed, (see
model, below), will provide Ford with engine
test and development facilities unequalled in the
industry. And the completed building will be only
the first of eight major buildings which will form
the Ford Research and Engineering Center. '
