water deficiency in the foreseeable
future. ... -
The finance report shows that
cneratina revenues of the depart

year ending June SO last. Nonop

amounted to $8,281. Operating ex
penses were $212,011. This left
gross profit for the' year at $231,

non-operating expenses, chiefly
interest and discount on bonds, of
$72,383. The net -income after all
expenses was $158,674, or more

Britain Stands Firm
Morrison's statement said the
British government took the
"strongest exception to Egypt's
one-sided action hi abrogating the
20-year alliance -of 1936 and the
1899 treaty setting up joint rule
over the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan.
Under the alliance, Britain is
allowed to keep 10,000 troops, 400
planes and supporting personnel
on guard at the Suez canal. The
canal is one of the! two keys to the
Mediterranean I shortcut between
east and west and whoever holds
it is in a strong position to defend
the entire middle east. The other
is the strait of Gibraltar.

Power
IS
Reviving
WASHINGTON, Oct 9-()-The
national production authority to
day notified the aluminum indus
try that, unless rainfall in the Pa
cific northwest continues, it may
again be necessary to interrupt the
power flow to some aluminum
plants late this month.
The agency at the same time
said it shortly will announce ton
nages of aluminum to be diverted
to industry instead of being deliv
ered into the defense stockpile.
The diversion was decided on,
officials said, to make up the loss
of 4,890,000 pounds of aluminum
in September because of power
shortages in the northwest and in
North Carolina.
The stockpile will not be lower
ed, NPA explained, but additions
to it will be delayed. -
NPA advised the producers that
it is preparing a list of essential
industries to be protected in case
of further power shortages. A pro
cedure for dealing with power de
ficits also will be worked out on
substantially the following basis
First, companies whose contracts
call for interruptable power will
suffer reduced deliveries; second,
a brownout of unessential lighting
will be imposed; and third, power
deliveries .tor smaller industrial us
ers and homes will be reduced.
Power officials have stated that
any cut in home consumption of
electricity probably would have to
be on a voluntary basis.

Among the districts which expressed an interest in consolidation
with Salem have been Prospect,

struction needs beyond those
planned in connection with the
present serial millage levy.
Superintendent Frank B. Ben

studies now being made tend to
show that a Salem Heights school
auditorium may be needed before
construction of the proposed new
South 12th street school. East

rican scheduled to go on trial in
the Swiss federal criminal court
at Lausanne on Monday is charg
ed with conducting illegal politi
cal espionage "in supplying in
formation to Senator (Joseph W.)
McCarthy."
The Swiss government charges
that the activities of McCarthy's
alleged informant violated Swiss
sovereignty.
The charge against Charles X.
Davis, 24, a negro from Pasadena,
CaliL, came to light today in the
"Arte de Accusation'' (compar
able to an Indictment in U. S.
courts) which has been filed in
the Lausanne court.
Davis la accused specifically of
supplying a representative of the
Wisconsin republican senator in
Paris with information concern

big bull elk got into a cow pasture
at Gleneden beach yesterday, and
a 1,300-pound Holstein bull tried
for three hours to chase the in
vader away from a herd of cows.
The sod was torn -up and the
Holstein's sides were nicked re
peatedly by the 1,000-pound elk's
four-foot span of horns. The Hol
stein bull was tiring fast before
Game Commissioner Don Mitch
ell of Taft finally came to the res
cue. Mitchell telephoned the state
game commission at Portland for
permission to shoot the elk. Per
mission granted, he killed the elk
with a rifle.
The battle took place within a
few feet of the coast highway
(U. S. 101) and attracted - more
than 200 persons. The elk first
was sighted in the pasture at 8:30
a. m. The battle with the Holstein
bull had been under way for some
time then, as the Holstein attempt
ed to protect the 23 cows in the
field.
The tired Holstein bull sank to
the ground afterwards, and didnt
get up again until today. The bull
and the cows were owned by Val

He called the congress to meet

ference that Peron had decided
to delegate his presidential office

of state when the election occurs
but to assure that the polling shall
afford "the most complete guar
antees of impartiality."
The minister said this was the
reason why congress had been
called in special session October

1. To grant President Peron a
leave of absence from office.
2. To send out an invitation to
