holding to Salem-Silverton road
ImnMtramant that iiti14 rhanffA
butr not - eliminate the railroad
i crossing at Silverton city timits,
County Judge Grant Murphy said
Monday.
He added that the court will not!
swerve from that routing of the
. road project unless representation
Is made by Silverton city council
for a change proposed by Silvertont
i planning commission. That would
have kept the road on the north
side of the tracks and taken It into
the city across the James, street
; bridge. - ' ' :
The route now slated for action
would move the grade crossing a
Quarter mile east of its present lo
cation and provide a less danger
ous crossing, without present sharp
curves. ' . .- -
: oince six small parcels or land
needed for right-of-way have not
been secured through negotiation,
the-court has appointed viewers
who will make an appraisal of the
property. The procedure is under
s a form known as improvement by
resolution, rather than by condem
nation. The viewers, C. W. Bartlett, Wil
liam Goodwin and Theodore NeK
son, all of Salem, are to report by
August 17, but Murphy said work
would not be held up that long.' He
said it could proceed by virtue of
a court resolution already issued,
showing intention to make the
changes.
The report will appraise the
properties as to remunerationTdue
for loss of land, as well as bene
fits and damages to the property
because of the road. It will be read
twice in open court, according to
the district attorney, tit the own
ers have not appealed the apprais
al to circuit court within 20 days
after the second reading, they are
sent payments according to the
appraised xigures. -

Letter to Ask Flegel to Define
Plan to Revise County Lines
A letter' was being drafted here Monday asking State Senator
Austin Flegel, Portland, democratic candidate for governor, to ad
vise the voters specifically what county boundaries he would elimi
nate in reducing the number of county governments as suggested by
him in an address before the American Federation of Labor con
vention at LaGrande Sunday.
It . was recalled here Monday
that such a move previously was
suggested in Oregon on several
occasions but never reached the
floor of the legislature or the
Voters.
Citizens of most counties in
cluded in the proposed change
expressed themselves as opposed
to the suggestion,
,The argument was advanced
that little money could be saved
the taxpayer because of long
distances many of them would
have to travel in reaching the
county seats.
I Flegel particularly will be asked
whether he favors eliminating
Multnomah county lines and
merging that county with Clack
amas or one or more counties ad
joining on the west,
i The letter' was expected to
reach Flegel later in the week
with request for an immediate re
ply. The letter will come from
persons other than state officials,
i Marion county officials, at the
time of the previous agitation,
were strenuously opposed to elim
ination of the Marion county
boundaries and substitution of a
district including two or more
Willamette valley counties.

Holland from the Mediterranean
area some 400 years ago.

Ike's Aide Says
Russia Not Sole
Cause of Woes
PORTLAND, June 12 - (JP) - Dr.
Grayson Kirk, assistant to Colum
bia University President Dwight
D. Eisenhower, saidr today that
Russia is not the sole cause of to
day's world crisis.
The international trouble, Kirk
said, seems from destruction of the
colonial system of government and
the expansion of industrialization.
"Russia simply is takingadvan
tage of the ferment, and adding to
It," Kirk said. -
He advocated strength and pa
tience on the part of the United
States --and. at all costs, the av
oidance of a depression. "A de
pression," he explained, "would
be catastrope in our foreign rela
tions. The communists have been
proclaiming to the world that 'the
inner defects of our system make
such a depression inevitable.
Kirk was here to speak before
the chamber of commerce.
