Dulles will rank as an ambas-sador-at-large. Mr. Truman's de cision to select him for the post it was learned, was made by the chief executive and Secretary of State Acheson after Acheson had conferred with Senator Vanden berg (R-Mich). Move in Series Vandenberg, who has been ill, has for several years been the top republican spokesman of foreign policy in the senate. The moye is one of a series al ready taken or in prospect by which the administration seeks to restore and strengthen the bi partisan handling of foreign pol icy, lately sunk to a low point under some republican attacks on Acheson.

W. Bale 100th YEAR 2 SECTIONS 20 PAGES DP Bill Rezoning South High Apartment Mouse Site Tentatively Approved by Planners Landowners Favor Change By Slim Edge By Robert E. Gangware City Editor, The Statesman Tentative approval for a $1,500, 000 apartment house at South High and Kearney streets came Wednesday night from the Salem planning and zoning commission. Petitioners for the eight-story structure across from Bush's pas ture barely cleared their first hurdle after one of the hottest public hearings the zoners have handled in many months. Landowners favoring the re quested change from class I to II zone represented just 40 square feet more tKan the legally requir ed 50 per cent of property with in 300 feet. Dorman Split on Issue Closeness of this margin ap neared in the commission's final analysis after figuring half the Harry Dorman home site on the petition favoring the change and half on the remonstrance against it. Mrs. Dorman. whose name ap nea red on the original petition. told the commissioners last night she opposed the change. Her nusr band, who is state budget direct or, favored the change. Since their lot is held as community property, each is entitled to speak for half of it. Zoners recommended that the city council take favorable action on the 2one change as requested by Paul F. Mtirphy, Oswego, and William E. Healy, Salem, who is assistant secretary of state.' They have purchased property 185 by 150 feet at the southwest corner of High and Kearney streets and have architect's plans lor an: eight-story 122-unit apartment there. Under the saiem zone coae apartments are barred from the class I residential zone. Stiff Opposition At last night's hearing, apart ment sponsors pictured their pro ject as a community asset, needed housing relief and an im portant source of employment for building workers. Strenuous "objections came from more than a dozen nearby prop erty owners during the two-hour hearing at city haiL Tney oasea their opposition mainly on park-ling congestion, reduction of their property values and spot zoning which might lead to further com mercial encroachment Sponsors and objectors were at opposite extremes hi the issue of whether an aparttment- house is an, appropriate development for property bordering a public park. Under city law, a zone change by! petition cannot be undertaken unless it is favored by owners of more than half the property in; this "affected area." This par ticular case also brought into use the provision of the zoning law which excludes from the count such public property! as the neigh boring Bush's pasture. j (Additional details, pale 2) Motor Barge Sinks, Taking 60 to Death OPORTO, Portugal, April 5 -OP) A motor barge carrying scores of men and women, textile factory workers hit a rock and sank in the Douro river tonight Officials said probably as many as 60 drowned, f Hale advocates changing the income tax exemption to $1500, with $500 for each dependent, and $500 additional for any child born during the tax year to off-; set medical expenses.
