Truck Industry
Criticized by
State Senator
Oregon's truck industry was
criticized sharply Friday by Sen.
Elmo Smith, Ontario, for alleged
failure to cooperate with the Leg
islature. Sen. Smith, chairman of the
Legislative Highway Interim
Committee, spoke out at the meet
ing here of the Interim Committee.
"The motor transportation in
dustry has got to quit criticizing
everything the Legislature tries to
do, and do a little cooperating,"
Smith said.
"Up to now all its representa
tives before our interim commit
tees and the Legislature have
been interested in has been to
confuse and delay and sabotage."
George H. Flagg, who resigned
last month as Public Utilities
Commissioner to do public rela
tions work for the truckers, as
sured Smith that the truck oper
ators would cooperate in the
future.
Flaea admitted that much of
Smith's criticism is justified.
During the last Legislature,
Smith was one of the fathers of
the bill to increase truck taxes as
much as 33 per cent. The truckers
attacked the bill by referendum,
putting it on the general election
ballot next November.

(Story also on page 1)
A series of four hearings on the

day in Coos Bay, Public Utilities
Commissioner Charles H. Heltzel
said Friday.
Hearings also were held in Port
land, La Grande and Lakeview.
Heltzel said the company's re
turn on its investment in Oregon
last year was less than 5 per cent.
The $400,000 increase would boost
it to 7.5 per cent.
Heltzel indicated the company
would be granted a small increase.
In his Friday order involving the
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph
Co., which also asked for a 7.5
per cent return, Heltzel gave the
company 5 6 per cent return.

Two Salem Canneries Honored
For Technically Assisting ECA
By LILLIE L. MADSEN
Farm Editor, The Statesman
Officials of two Salem companies this week are admiring shiny
new certificates just received from the Economic Cooperation Ad
ministration of the United States Government.
The certificates bear the red, white and blue "Strength for the
Free World' 'shield of the Economic Cooperation Administration.
They state formally that they have been issued to the companies for
having furnished technical assist
ance to the peoples of the Mar
shal Plan countries to aid them
in maintaining Individual liberty,
free institutions and peace."
One certificate goes to O. E.
Snider, manager of the Blue Lake
Packers, Inc., and the other to
George Paulus of the Paulus
Brothers Packing Company.
Letters, signed by Richard Bis
sell Jr., acting administrator of
the E.C.A., accompanied the cer
tificates and explained that the
latter were issued "in recognition
of the courtesy extended by you
to individuals on technical assist
ance missions from Western Euro
pean countries. Cooperation in re
ceiving these managers, techni
cians and workers from Western
European countries has made you
an important partner in the ef- I
fort to bring strength to the free !
world." i
Actually the certificates are is- !
sued because officials of the com
panies took off a number of hours
in one of their busy canning days
August 4 last summer to give 15
nruisn tecnmcians a lull and de-
tailed picture of how American

Since 1949 the E.C.A.. which is
to be succeeded by the new Mu
tual Security Agency headed by
W. Averell Harriman, has been
bringing groups of European tech
nicians and specialists to this
country to see how our American
factories use modern techniques
for efficient production. They
have been taking home this know
how to spur their own producti
vity. In their effort to discover for
themselves what makes America
tick, they have visited industrial
plants, business offices, trade as
sociations, labor organizations,
colleges and government agencies
in 44 states and the District of
Columbia.
Helping in this program have
been almost 5,000 American en
terprises ranging from East
Coast pulp paper producers to
Eastern printing plants, from ore
mines and giant steel mills to
superma r k e t s and contracting
firms. Farmers, farm organiza
tions, farm machinery manufac
turers, agricultural colleges, and
the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture have also assisted.
Teams have come from Den
mark, Norway, Sweden, the Unit
ed Kingdom, France, Germany,
Belgium, Luxembourg, The Neth
erlands, Iceland, Ireland, Italy,
Greece, Turkey, Austria, Portugal,
and Trieste. Each team repre
sented a specific industry or spe
cialty. The furnishing of technical as
istance has been accomplished at
a relatively minor cost because
of the assistance of the coopera
tors in this country. Actual re
ports show that for each recovery
dollar spent in Europe under the
Marshal Plan, less than one-half
of a cent has been spent on the
technical assistance program.

Watch, Cash from
Salem Residence
Theft of a wrist watch valued
at $75 and $2.80 in cash from
the Harold B. Hindman residence,
1070 Highland Ave., was reported
Friday by Salem city police.
Entry was reported through an
unlocked window sometime be
tween 7 and 9 p.m. Thursday.
Police said the reported burg
lary indicated a change of pattern
from other recent Salem break
and entries in that the intruder
apparently wanted jewelry rather
than cash. Mostly cash was taken
in others of the recent series of
about 10 burglaries.

Seeks to Block
Inspection Law
-
A suit to halt the State Indus
trial Accident Commission from
enforcing a 1951 legislative act
dealing with factory inspection
fees was filed in Marion County
Circuit Court Friday.
Complainant is the M & M Wood
Working Company of Portland.
The complaint was filed against
the accident commission and
against Attorney General George
Neuner. T
Under fire is an act which took
effect Jan. 1, 1952. It provides for
payment of fees by employers sub
ject to the factory inspection law.
the fees are to be paid into a "Safe
ty Inspection Account," and are
collected by the commission.
The company, according to the
complaint, has not been a contrib
utor to the State Industrial Acci
dent fund because it has an agree
ment with a private concern to
check safety methods installed by
the company.
Since passage of the law in
volved, says the complaint, the
commission has threatened "court
action against the company for
non-payment of fees as imposed
by the new act.
Plaintiff charges that the sec
tions of the act violates the state
constitution because it gives the
commission legislative powers.
Furthermore, says the complaint,
the act "deprives the plaintiff of
its liberty and property without
due process of law."
The complaint seeks a tempor
ary injunction restraining the
commission from enforcing the act
during the suit. It also asks for a
permanent injunction to be issued
later.
Improvements
To South River
Road Sought
Residents along South River
Road, south of Salem city limits,
are set to ask the Marion County
Court to institute several improve
ments on the road.
A petition is being circulated
among the residents this week.
Improvements sought include
replacing of the old wooden guard
rail with a new one, widening the
road by removing dirt and rock
on the east side of the road, re
move hazards of falling rocks, and
dig adequate drainage ditches
along the road where needed.
Petitioners were primarily con
cerned with the narrow stretch of
road just south of the city limits.
They said the road "is in a de
plorable state of maintenance and
repair," and is "too narrow to ac
commodate the meeting and pass
ing of automobiles or heavy
trucks."

Non-Defense
Steel Supply
Gets Shorter
Steel supply for non-defense
use is getting shorter and shorter,
it was reminded in Salem Friday
by Ralph Sullivan, regional exe
cutive for the Department of
Commerce in Portland, and John
G. Bamett, industrial analyst for
National Production Administra
tion. They conferred with Manager
Clay Cochran at Salem Chamber
of Commerce offices, reporting on
recent developments ia the scrap
metal campaign and in availability
of metals. Oregon-s 250 auto
wrecking firms, they said, are
now under a new government
regulation designed to encourage
a fast turnover of old bodies from
wrecking yards to production
mills which need the scrap.
"Small users" of steel now may
get only as much steel as their
annual consumption in 1950, in
stead of up to 30 tons on their
own certification, it was also re

ReroutelPlea
Heard Again
A cry to reroute a portion of the
Elkhsrn road paralleling the Little
North Fork of the Santiam 1 River
above Mehama was revivjed this
week. j;
Members of Marion County
Court met with a group of resi- -dents
and logging operators inT
Stayton City Hali on Thursday for-'
a discussion of the matter. -,.
A plan, advanced several years
ago, calls for building a new strip
of road along the south' bank of
the river from Lomkers Bridge
west to a point just upstream from
Taylor's Grove picnic area.
This would eliminate a steep
hill along the present road on the
north bank. The hill has long
plagued both residents and loggers
in the area especially ja winter
weather. ;,
County Judge Rex Hartley said
the court did not commit itself to
the project. He indicated, though,
that the matter would 1 again be
considered when road-building
weather is in sight. He said one
argument for an improved road
there is the increasing amount of
logs hauled over it.
The county several - years ago
secured a right-of-way v for the
proposed new section oi the road
on the south bank. ?v
