Sportsmen Pilot 'Roundup7 in
Salem to Bring 1,000 Planes
(Story also on page 1;)
Sportsmen pilots from several states and Canada are being In
vited to Salem for an airmen's get-together July 4 this year, with
prospects that the event will bring 1,000 planes here. ;
That was the report to Salem Chamber, of Commerce directors
Wednesday night by W. M. (Jack) Bartlett, chamber aviation chair
man and the state director of aeronautics.
He said the "fly-in" event would
be an ideal way to sell Salem as a
visiting spot to out-of-state avia
tion enthusiasts. Similar events
have been held at several Oregon
cities, with good response ranging
up to a 240-plane visit to Red
mond last summer, said Bartlett.
The aviation leader urged the
chamber to make Salem more in
terested in its own airpcrt develop
ment and the air transportation
industry.
Joseph A. H. Dodd, convention
chairman, reported to the cham
ber board that new plans -for at
tracting conventions to Salem in
clude a survey of statewide or
ganizations on their convention
plans, welcome signs, cooperation
with her cities in "exchanging con
vention" and preparation of a Sa
lem convention folder.
Convention work was allocated
a $500 expenditure, new to the
chamber budget this year. Other
new items include $500 for state
fair promotion and $100 for agri
cultural promotion. The 1952 bud
get as adopted last night totals
$36,550, compared with the past
year's $34,000 budget
John Adlon, manager of Mil
ler's Department store, was elected
to the board of director to fill the
vacancy left by transfer of M. B.
Rudd to Phoenix, Ariz., with J. C.
Penney Co.

recreation committee to
help promote Marion County rec
reational facilities to local resi
dents. "SeU the home folks and
it'll be. a lot easier to sell conven
tions ' and industrial expansion
here,' he said.
Knapp said particular attention
would be given the recreational
area at the Detroit Lake which win
be formed behind the new Detroit
Dam. Army engineers, he added,
are now developing plans for leas
ing to interested citizens summer
home sites, dock facilities and
camp sites on the shores of the

Truman Asks
Stronger Farm
Price Supports
(Story also on Page One.)
WASHINGTON JP) - President
Truman Wednesday urged a
stronger farm price support sys
tem, but without directly mention
ing the Brannan farm plan or any
of its controversial features.
In his message on the State of
the Union, the chief executive told
Congress it should strengthen farm
price aid programs to meet the
defense emergency.
Mr. Truman did not specify how
he thought the program should
be changed.
Price support operations, which
reached a record peak in 1949,
have dropped off sharply this year
because farm prices have increased
rather sharply.

Church Bishop
Starts 'Peace
Tour of World'
NEW YORK (V-Church of God
Bishop Homer Tomlinson starts
Thursday on a world peace tour
he hopes will split the iron curtain
and make shelter signs "as ob
solete as detour signs when the
great turnpike is finished."
Bishop Tomlinson, who also is
running for the presidency of the
United States and says his church
has 50 mllion followers through
out the world, hopes to set foot in
every nation during his tour.
He leaves by train Thursday
for Miami, to fly from there to
the Bahamas, where he said the
Church of God was founded by
his father 40 years ago.
After covering South America,
he said, he will go to Europe. He
will raise his special peace flag
on the soil of each country.
The bishop said his passport had
been approved to all countries ex
cept Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria,
Hungary and China, but the State
Department had warned him he
probably would have trouble get
ting visas to visit the Soviet Un
ion, Yugoslavia and Rumania.
But the bishop is still "trusting
the Lord that by some happy pro
vidence I may place my feet in
those countries also."
Regardless, the bishop expects
to make a "pre-Easter trek along
the line of the iron curtain from
Finland to Korea.
"I am expecting,' he said, "to
see this curtain rent in twain as
miraculously as was the vail of
the temple rent in twain at the
crucifixion of Christ"
-We go," he added, "to open
a great highway of peace in the
name of Jesus, the Prince of
reace.

Truce Plan
MUNSAN, Korea (iTV-The Allies
Thursday rejected for the second
time a Communist . proposal for
supervising a truce because! it
failed to ban the rebuilding! of
military airfields in North Korea.
Maj. Gen. Howard M. Turner
told the Reds:
"Your proposal of Jan. 9 is un
acceptable to the United Nations
Command because of your failure
to include restrictions on rehabili
tation of military airfields during
an armistice.
As the talks dragged into the
seventh month, both sides re
hashed time-worn arguments.
Chinese Red Mai. Gen. Hsleh
Fang insisted such a ban would
interfere with the internal affairs
of North Korea.
Turner replied it was necessary
for the security of Allied forces.
After one hour and 20 minutes
of such debate, the subcommittee
on truce supervision adjourned un
til Friday.
