An Interesting constitutional

constitution says that no person

governor more than eight in any

elected to fill the unexpired term
of the late Earl Snell, a two-year

By Robert E. Gangwmre
I City Editor. Tne Statesman
A sterner city licensing policy is
in the makins; i around city hall
these days. , . ? r
Without much fanfare :the city
council has established a license
committee of three aldermen who
already are indicating TthereH be
some changes made. ; j ..---"
Headed by Robert F. White, this
committee has plowed into the new
job of giving all license applica
tions a closer scrutiny than ever
before, then making recorpnenda
tions to the dty council as a whole
for final action.?-- t ,:-.
One of the first changes is es
tablishment cf a card Lis tystea
to keep tab on license holders from
one license to the next.
"As it is," declares Chairman
White, "about all the dty council
has to go on is whether 4 license-
applicant has a criminal record.'

School Board
-With Salem's' 1951 school con
structlon program now in a race
against school opening date a week
fronTi Monday, the school district
board of directors turned its at
tention Tuesday to 1952 construc
tion needs. " V f
Coming into "focus but still In
preliminary talk stages - are the
south Salem hieh -school, a Mid
die Grove addition and new ele
mentary schools in east Englewood
and in the South jzth street area
All require architect's planning
and -final board authorization.
The South Salem High would re
quire a bond issue vote of the
public. The immediate elementary
school expansion now believed
.necessary might or might not be
arranged so as to keep within
funds on hand and due from this
year's proceeds from the already-
voted serial levy. :!
That was the picture sketched
in for the school board by Su
perintendent Frank- B Bennett at
Tuesday nights meeting n the
public school, administration
building. .
The superintendent said his pre
liminary studies indicated an east
Englewood school should! have
priority among elementary school
projects, but he wanted the board
and a citizens committee to sit
down soon to a detailed planning
session on the construction mat
ter. - -- - .
An east Englewood school would
be located between the present
Englewood, Washington and Lin
coin schools, all of which are
heavily populated because of the
concentration of families in resi
dential areas east of Salem. ;
Even with a new 12-room schoo
both Washington and Lincoln
would need additional classrooms
by 1955, on the basis of birth rate
statistics, said Bennett. !

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28 APf- President Truman, In an unusual
lecture to the new Czech ambassador. : today called on Communist
Czechoslovakia to free. William N. Oatis, Associated Press correspond
ent imprisoned on "espionage" charges.
While anti-communist Dickets paraded outside the White House,
iftr. Tniman declared that ever
Czechoslovakia and Foreign Min
ister Jan Masaryk was "mur
dered,' relations with the United
States have deteriorated. The best
way to improve them, ha said, is
to free Oatis. v '.. j
Mr. -Truman had a four-muiute
meetings with, the ambassador, Dr.
Vladimir Prochazka, when the lat
ter called to present his creden
tials. Usually such ceremonies are
confined to the reading of cut and
dried statements. . ; j
What happened this time,' ac
cording to Presidential Press Sec
retary Joseph Short, was this:
t The ambassador said he hoped
to make our relations more cordiaL
The president replied that the best
way to make our relations more
cordial was to send our Associated
Press Correspondent Oatis home,
v. The president further said that
relations between our two coun
tries had deteriorated ever since
Jan Masaryk was murdered. I Be
fore that the president said that
relations between the U. S. and
the Republic of Czechoslovakia
were wonderful -. ,": ' "S '"
"He-mentioned the extreme
friendliness of our political rela
tions and the back and forth trade
relations. But now the president
said it -looked as if our relations
would not bo what they' had been
unless Czechoslovakia changed its
policies. The ambassador made no
response to those remarks." $
Already two or three new liquor
license applicants" have . been
turned down by the council on the
strength of the committee's recom
mendation. ..-; . , " - L - 1

budget bill, enabling the state to
start paying its bills again.
Governor Langlie signed the bill
tonight after it was rushed tnrougn

senate passed the bill 34 to 9 and

two senate amendments by a vote

ately to the second important
function of the session raising
money to meet an anticipated

State Auditor Cliff Yelle said
be will start immediately to write
checks to pay welfare grants, state
employer salaries and various
contractural obligations of the
state. Virtually no" checks have
been written since last Monday

Fees' Said Too Lew-
Many officials have -been out
spoken in the feeling that most of
Salem license fees are "way too
low,
They cite, for etanv -
hotel fees are based on 29 cents
per room per year, and that pawn
shops pay soo a year.
.... "And our police department has
to have "a man make a complete
check every day for possible stolen
goods among items handled in a
pawnshop," Chairman White said.
- Another point of law under the
committee s consideration has to
do with licensing taverns. The
state law says the license holder
should be the person actually op
erating: the establishment, not an
absentee owner. White pointed out,
adding. "We are determined that
the city of Salem should see that
this is carried out."
