All Mew Mouses By Robert E. Gangwar ," i aty Editor, The Statesman ; Legislation was proposed by Salem city aldermen Monday night to require off-street parking for every new house or apartment unit. Street parkins also took the council spotlight during the city hall meeting in which a state board of control request for parking limits In the capitol area got a cool reception from the aldermen. Here were the parking developments: WDCIjQS : Dr. John A. Mack ay, president cf Princeton Theological Semin ary, who occupied the pulpit at the First Presbyterian church Sun day, Is not only one of the coun try's most eminent theologians, he Is also a great Christian statesman.

Just a few months ago Dr. Mack ay returned from travels which took him to the orient. There he had interviews with General Mac Arthur, with the emperor of Japan, with Kagawa; also with President Rhee of Korea (that was before the invasion). At Hong Kong he discussed Chinese affairs with missionaries who came from that country for a conference. I had the privilege of visiting with Dr. Mackay and getting his report on the situation in the far east. . The missionaries in China old Dr. Mackay that they are being permitted by the new regime to carry on their work, their hos pitals, schools, seminaries, though of course they cannot teach any antagonism to the new govern ment. They said that communism triumphed out of the despair and exhaustion of the people who were worn out by years of internal strife and war with Japan. Chiang Kai-shek's government kept post poning the reforms the people de manded. So when the communists came with promises the nationalist cause just collapsed. Communist troops as they invad ed the south were under strict dis cipline. In Manchuria they had been ruthless. There they posted pictures of General Mao Tse tung, their leader, and of , Lenin and Stalin. When they came south the pictures were of Mao and Sun Yat-sen, the founder of the Chin . ese republic.

A bill requiring off-street park ing spaces equal to the number of living units in any hotel, apart ment houses or motel, introduced several weeks ago by Alderman Daniel J.

L. Elfstrom expressed the view that the off-street park ing requirement should cover something less than 100 per cent of the number of units in each multiple dwelling building affect ed. The state's request for parking was referred to City Manager J, L. Franz en. He was given instruc tions to inform the board of con trol that the city expects from it in the near future a comprehens ive plan for state employes' park ing, for referral to the 1951 legis lature. Asks Parking Limitation The state is asking . one-hour parking at the supreme court and state office buildings . and along Court and Chemeketa streets near the capitoL ' , Alderman Daniel J. Fry said granting this request "would only place the same problem a few blocks farther out," He asserted that the parking limits to prohibit all-day parking by state employes would place their cars into the residential areas to the east. Alderman Albert H. Gille said he felt this inconvenience to state employes would speed up state planning for employe parking.

(Statesman photo.) - Pope Pius has called a secret con church, it was announced today. added to the doctrine of the church that of the Immaculate Conception proclaimed on Dec 8, iS3f. L'Osservatore Romano, .Vatican City newspaper, made the. an nouncement on the eve of' the Feast of the Assumption August 15 which has been observed by Catholics for centuries. L'Osservatore Romano 'said the secret consistory of cardinals has been called for Oct 30, and that Pope Pius will proclaim the dog ma on Nov. 1 on the closing day of an international Marian con gress in Rome. Thousands devoted especially to the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus, then will be assembled from aU parts of the world for one of the most important events of the 1950 holy year. The delegates are bring ing thousands of statues of the Virgin, some of them from the world's most noted shrines. - Pope Pius, in proclaiming the dogma in St. Peter's basilica on the day of the Feast of AU Saints, will speak "ex cathedra" (from the chair); that is, when he is presumed by the church to be in fallible. 4 The proclamation will compel all members of the church to be lieve that the mother of Jesus was borne bodily into heaven or ex pose themselves to heresy. Belief in the assumption has been nearly universal in the church. Pope Benedict XIV, who reigned from 1740 to 1758, declar ing "it is a probable opinion which to deny were impious and blas phemous. CathoUc belief in the bodily as sumption is based on the state ment of Saint John of Damascus, born about 676. that her tomb. which opened upon the request of Saint Thomas, was found empty and the apostles therefore con eluded that the body was taken up to heaven.

His order of the day. perhaps signalling the start of tfaa long-expected . communist' all-out battles flared in the curves of the vital western front. In issuing the order, North Korean Premier and commander-in-chief ' Kim II Sung recognized time was running out for the Reds. He ordered prompt annihilation of United Na tions' armies and added: "The longer this is delayed, the stronger wiU become the United States and South Korean defenses." Field dispatches reported two battalions of ' Reds, numbering more than 1,000 men, poured across the Naktong Tuesday morning about 14 miles southwest of Taegu, I key American communications base. The- crossing, in the Tuksong bend, is on the southern flank of the central front where the Reds have massed 60,000 men for an all out drive on the river barrier pro tecting Taegu.
