Kale i Inroendinf of the big C
DY Johnson Lumber corporation at
Toledo to the Georgia-Pacific
Plywood company, a concern with
plants in severa lstates and one
doing a nation-wide business. The
sale is the consequence- of the
tragedy which struck in the crash
of an airplane near Oakland, CaL,
bringing death to Dean Johnson
and his brother who were execu
tives of the firm, and the account
ant familiar with their business.
Later the superintendent of the
: Toledo mill . succumbed at the
funeral of one of the brothers. A
third brother succeeded to the
presidency, but evidently has de
cided to dispose of the property.
The burden of meeting inheritance
taxes may have prompted the sale.
Whatever the cause we see an
other big Oregon enterprise be
rnme a fief of a great national
corporation. The operations will
continue, but the responsiDie exe
cutive management and the prin

from Oregon.
More and more the elements of
our greatest industry, forest pro

these non-resident corporations:

snowstorm today, piling ud wreck
age in a giant junk heap. Union
Pacific authorities said 20 were
known dead, and six missing. :
Ten were seriously hurt and hos
pitalized.;, Scores more some
sources estimated more than- a
hundred were treated for minor
injuries. i . r
' The smashup came in a rolling,
hilly, snow-covered area about
three miles west of , this little
Wyoming community . some 0
miles northeast of Salt Lake City.
The Union Pacific's City of Los
Ang 'es halted for a block signal.
It was bashed in from the rear by
ine city of San Francisco.
ine uiree-unit aiesei power
plant of the second train crushed
five cars, of tlie halted train. Cars
of the second ftrain left the tracks
in a zigzag fashion, but remained
upright, ii 1
The City pf San Francisco's
power units were meshed with the
five rear; cars! of the City of Los
Angeles. Outline of the five cars
was barely distinguishable. Wreck
age looked something like a huge
tomato can j which ' had " been
squashed almost flat.
Jagged pieces of steel were in
terming! ed with torn clothing and
shredded luggage, i
A Bible lay in the snow. Nearby
was a child s toy gun.
Snow on the ground at the wreck
scene averaged a foot deep, but
was drifted deeper in places.
Below Freezing
The snowfall eased up during
the axternooif hours but began
again at nightfall. Workmen rigged
floodlights. The temperature was
below freezing.
Ambulances; were summoned
from communities as far away as
Salt Lake City.
The toll of dead climbed rapidly
as rescue work proceeded. First re
ports were .that five persons were
killed; then eight, then 12.
Bodies were brought to an im
provised morgue at the Evanston
city hall. Most seriously injured
were brought fto the Uinta county
Memorial hospital here. Other in
jured went to the American Legion

Huge cranes were at the site,
lifting the, wreckage which in
some places was piled 20 feet deep.

were informed by the Union Pa
cific that all the passengers killed
were aboard the streamliner City
of Los Angeles. They added that
no passengers! on the City of San

rear of the other train, were among
the dead. There were 200 persons
on both trains.
Schedules call for the trains to
travel 10 minutes apart. Both were
running late, however, because of
the storm.
A veteran railroader, Porter J.
H. Floyd of Chicago, said it was
the fourth wreck for him in SO
years. He added: "This Is the worst

i Classes moved out of basements
and playrooms into a light, modern
school building Monday at Oregon
state school for the blind.
; The $350,000 structure on Mis
sion street has 16 instruction rooms
and a 300-capacity auditorium. It
will be used exclusively for school
purposes and; can handle some 100
students. - j
j The classes have been scattered
since January, 1950, when the ad
ministration i building was con
demned except for "basement and
first floors. Superintendent Walter
pry recalled.
The new building is character
ked by large windows, good light
ing and pleasant colors. This is
because the School encourages and
teaches the children to use what
vision they have and to be "as
little blind! as possible." Only
about one-fourth of the 79 pupils
lack light perception and "you
want sunshine for health even for
the totally blind," Dry declared,
i The reinforced concrete struc
ture, brick-faced, was designed by
Wolfe and Phillips, Portland archi
tects, whom Dry lauded, and con
structed by George Isackson com
pany of Portland. It has two
stories and a small basement,
Where are located controls for
heat from the central plant, j
Tile Coverings
; All floors have asphalt tile cov
ering, while walls in all corridors
are faced with vitreous tile for
easy maintenance. Ceilings are
acoustically I treated. Doors are
veneered with natural birch, and
most are deeply recessed into the
Walls to prevent collisions with
open doors. '
; Each classroom has an adjoining
activity room where a teacher may
work specially with one or two
pupils or where special - projects
can be carried on during classtime.
Separate, adjustable seat - desk
units are used in some rooms.
j In addition there are such spe
cial purpose quarters as science
room, complete with skeleton in
the closet; music room, with six
small soundproofed rooms for
practice or use of "talking books;"
solarium to . grow plants so the
children can! more easily under
stand nature; studios for broad
casting programs within the build
ing and for recording radio pro
grams or books.
More Book Storage
.In addition to the library is a
large room for more book storage.
As Dry pointed out, a text that
might be printed in a pocket edi
tion ordinarily would occupy as
many as 25 encyclopedia-sized vol
umes in Braille. !
The auditorium will serve also
as a dramatics workshop, said the
superintendent, in helping the
pupils to gam confidence and to
relax for normal living, i
Only two classes were going on
Monday morning, as pupils of the
school did the moving of equip
ment, directed by Dry and Princi
pal Everett Wilcox. - (

new parking restriction Monday
night, so more people could park.

There are so many no-parking
signs elsewhere, reported Alder
man Robert F. White, that drivers
have avoided parking in the Hoyt
street area. too.

Red Rioters
in Middle
By the Associated Prets
Communists rampaged yester
day in eastern and middle eastern
countries in what began to look
like a concerted campaign.
The communists or their leftist
allies went belligerently on the
warpath in Japan in Israel, in ner
vous Iran and in the Philippines.
The outbursts come at a time
when Pravda, idle of communists
throughout the world, has been
harping on the need to oust "Anglo-American
imperialism" from
what the communists refer to as
"colonial and dependent coun
tries." ;
The most surprising outburst
was in Japan, where 3,000 leftist
Japanese students heckled Emper
or Hirohito and sang the commun
ist anthem to lm in a riotous
demonstration unprecedented in
Japan's modern history. The em
peror still is considered divine by
many of bis subjects, and immune
from any disrespect
The incident, which observers
said might have historic signifi
cance, took place at Kyoto, while
the emperor was on a state tour.
The students surrounded the lim
ousine until police shoved them

24-Minute Meters to Dot Downtown
Area; 2-Hour Zones Due at Capitol
1 By Robert E. Gangware ! ' it I
City Editor. The Statesman ;
Short-time parking meters were approved for downtown
blocks Monday night as the Salem city council tackled an accu
mulation of traffic and parking problems, j ; i
In another parking situation of recent concern j the aldermen
took steps to unblock some of the parking spaces near state buiH- -
ings and the university campus.
, New downtown meters will give
12 minutes' parking time for 1 cent
or 24 minutes for 2 cents. Four of
these short-time meters will be
placed in each block ; now desig
nated for one-hour parking, with
one at each corner and two in the
center of the block.
Cost Estimated
Cost of the conversion of meters
was estimated by City Manager J.
L. Franzen as $225.
The plan adopted by the coun
cil was recommended by the city
manager in his report on recent
requests from businessmen for a
short parking limit at five down
town spaces. Most of these peti
tions followed the recent remov
al of meters from in front of the
Burright dry cleaning shop on
Church at Ferry streets.
Councilmen voted to split with
the state an estimated $500 im
provement of a state lot at Ferry
and 13th street as Space for park
ing 60 cars of state workers and
Willamette university students or
employes.
Talks Bog Down -
Mayor Alfred Loucks reported
that negotiations for improving a
similar narking area on Trade
street are horsed down as the un
lversity appears unable to aid in
financing part of the estimated
$275 cost, j
Several parking restrictions
were, adopted with the aim of pre
venting enough aii-aay parxing in
the state-university area xo ac
commodate -business and tourist
visitors during the day. These in
cluded: Two-hour parking for 10 spaces
in front of Eaton hall on State
itreet: for 10 maces on north side
of State street Just west of the east
driveway at the capitol; for both
sides of Court street between east

street and state office building en
trance. None on Chemeketa !
No carkine on Chemeketa street
between Capitol and east Summer
street except for the spaces be
tween driveway entrances to the
public service and state nignway
buildings.
In parking restrictions asKea Dy
various businesses, the council
withheld action pending further
study, including the possiDiuiy oi
an extension of the 24-mlnute
Sarklng meters beyond the down
wn block.
Review of the city's business
driveway ordinance also was or
dered after Alderman Thomas
Armstrong declared that its tfbuse
has been, costing the city, many
valuable parking spaces.
In the deferred petitions, Pacif
ic Telephone and Telegraph Co.
had asked 15-minute parking on
Court street in front of its build
ing; Herrall-Owens (auto agency)
had asked a two-hour limit in
