f ; S3 The Statesman, Salem. Oregon. Sunday January 7, 1851 Recruiting in Salem Keeps Heavy Pace Armed forces recruiting in Sa lem had one of its busiest periods on record during the past week, personnel said Saturday, but the rush didn't stem principally from the proposed draft of 18-year-olds, as some cities have report ed. The navy office will be open today for those interested. The recruiters said there has been little change in the picture of recruits since that proposal was made. Most continue to be those already eligible for the draft 19 years and up with the usual sprinkling of 17- and 18-year-olds. The post-holiday rush saw a total of 77 men sent to Portland for final processing, 42 known to have been accepted and 7 to have been rejected temporarily. And another 44 are ready to go to Portland Monday or soon after. The air force led the list with 51 men sent up, 23 accepted for enlistment and the rest waiting for the results, except one reject ed for physical reasons. Sixteen have been processed here for travel Monday. The navy recruiters sent 23 men, had 18 accepted, with five temporary rejections. At least 22 more are ready to go to Portland Monday. The marines had one accepted, two temporarily rejected, and three more are to go for process ing this week. Results have not been heard from the two prospects sent in by the army, but three more men will go Monday. The rush prompted navy re cruiters to announce that their office will be opuen today and next Sunday and that a fourth man has been assigned here tem porarily to aid with processing. ' He is PNA 2c William H. Flach senhar, sent from Portland. State Engineer Told to Accept License Fees license fees tendered . by the California-Oregon Power company ; covering appropriation of water j and development of a power pro- j ject on the Link river in Klamath ' county, should be accepted by the state engineer. Attorney General Neuner ruled Saturday. Original application for the, ap propriation of water was made Feb. 24, 1919, and approved on ! June 25 of the same year. On July 8, 1925, the permit was cancelled, based on an opinion of a previous attorney general. The company refused to recognize the order of cancellation, however, and the li cense fee was tendered annually. Neuner held that the order of cancellation was a nullity and had no effect. "All fees tendered should be ac cepted and, at the appropriate time, the -proper application for renewal of the license should be given the same consideration as if the order of cancellation had never been entered," Neuner averred. Convicted Slayer Collapses Before Trip to 'Chair' BELLEFONTE, Pa., Jan. 6-UP)-A 48-year-old convicted slayer, facing execution early Monday morning in Pennsylvania's electric chair, collapsed upon his arrival today at Rockview penitentiary.
