The first entries of deposits at the old Ladd and Bush bank which opened in 1869 were under separate heads: Currency, Gold. In the adminis tration of President Hayes, how ever, in 1879 our government re sumed payment in specie. In other words the greenbacks could be exchanged for gold. The slogan at the time was "The way to re sume is to resume." Our modern financing has not resulted in a two-level circulating medium. Instead the Roosevelt ad ministration .called in gold (it's a crime to reiftur more man in golds coin) - and that- left federal reserve notes to circulate as cur rency. There is no early prospect of resumption of specie payments in the United States, though it is noted that Harold Stassen in his campaign for president calls for an "honest" dollar based on gold. What the United States has been spared is a discount on its money in foreign countries. Of the cur rencies of the great trading coun tries it has been most stable. De valuations have occurred from time to time as foreign currencies deteriorated in exchange for the dollar. We have now one example of recovery to equality: Last week the Canadian dollar came to parity with the U. S. dollar. Some months ago the Canadian government threw off the shackles it had used to protect its dollar. Previously that dollar had been subject to a discount of about 10 per cent in U. S. exchange. After that action the Canadian dollar rose till It touched 100 with our own. The trade between Canada and the United States reaches large Eroportions, over $5 billion total totally the trade balance has run in favor of the U. S., but recently there has been a great flow of in vestment money out of the United States into Canada. This has gone for investment in oil and natural gas development, in (Continued on editorial page, 4) FCC to Lift Ban On TV Stations CLEVELAND (JP)-A three-year-old government ban on permits to operate new television stations probably will be lifted in a month or so, Wayne Coy said Monday.

Va., but it struck hard at industrial districts on both sides of the river in that area. Hundreds of persons refused to leave their homes, although wa ter ran through first floors. They climbed to the second floor and sat on stacked-up belongings. Damage to homes and factories was heavy. The crest measured 43.8 feet at 2 p.m. at Bellaire, O., across the river from Wheeling. It had been predicted at 44 feet. This slight weakness in the tur bulent Ohio, however, held little happiness for down-river cities Extraordinary rainfall in Central Ohio, topping four inches in 36 hours at some spots, gorged Southern Ohio tributary streams beyond capacity. They soon will begin to pour fresh flood water into the Ohio well below the present crest. Next major flood-threatened spot below Wheeling and the Ohio group across the river Martins Ferry, Bellaire, Bridgeport and Shadyside will be this bustling college town, home of Marietta College. Flood stage here is 35 feet. The latest crest prediction calls for 47 feet at 3 p.m. Tuesday. Floods nearly immobilized cross-country traffic in Southern and some Northern Ohio sections The State Highway Department reported about 100 Ohio roads cut by high water. About 2,000 persons were home less from Steubenville, O., south to Wellsburg, W. Va. Another 2,200 or more were avacuated in the area from Wheeling to Shady side and Powhatan Point, O. Two thousand more fled from their homes here.

Waftist Support CAraO, Egypt (iip)-Premier Aly Maher Pasha's new Independent government got a pledge of sup port Monday-rwith a big "if" from the powerful Wafdist Party it replaced at the climax of this country's bloodied relations with Britain. The "if was that the new gov ernment must follow the Wafdist Policy for throwing the British out of the Suez area and the Sudan. Maher Pasha took over the reins of a country under martial law from the two-year-old Wafdist government of Mustapha Nahas Pasha, who was ousted Sunday night by King Farouk after un checked mobs put the torch to Cai ro Saturday and lulled at least 62 persons. The Oregon Statesman. Salem, Oregon, Tuesday, January Fire Toll Two Bodies Recovered in Apartments MINNEAPOLIS (JPh Firemen Monday night recovered the bodies of a small boy and girl, two of 17 persons missing and presumed dead after flames roared through a three story business-apartment building here earlier in the day. The bodies, those of a boy about 6 and girl, 3, were not identified immediately. Nine young children and two teen-agers are listed on the Red Cross missing roster, along with six adults. A wrecking crane worked seven hours knocking down tottering walls and floors before firemen were allowed to start the search for bodies. Brilliant floodlights played over the ice-caked rubble when crews with shovels started their grim task at 11 p.m. Fire Chief Donald Malmquisf said he was convinced now that all the 17 missing perished in the quick-spreading blaze. He said his men expected to have a night long task digging into the rear of the building, where the roofs, walls and floor collapsed into a tangled mass of debris. The mercury dropped to 14 be low as the shovel-carrying crews moved into the wreckage. New Edition of Gty Directory Issued in Salem The handy guide to who's who in Salem and Marion County was issued Monday. It is the 1951 edition of the Sal em City Directory, published by the R. L. Polk Co. of Seattle, Wash. The last edition of the di rectory was published in 1949. Compilation of the 1951 directory has gone on since early last year. No major changes have been instituted, although there are dif ferences in listings of names for better readability. The publishers do not guarantee the accuracy of all information in the new book, a statement due in part to the fact that many people have changed addresses or businesses since the original compilation was made. The directory has five major departments. The alphabetical list includes names of residents, and business firms for Salem, Aumsville, Aurora, Brooks, Chem awa, Gervais, Hubbard, Jefferson, Marion, Monitor, Mt. Angel, St. Paul, Scotts Mills, Silverton, Stay ton, Sublimity, Turner, Wood burn, West Stayton and West Woodburn. Publishers point out that this is the only record in existence which shows the name, marital status, occupation and address of each adult resident of the area, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation. Other departments are a direct ory of householders, which include tenants of office buildings and business places and a street and avenue guide; a buyers guide, con sisting mainly of advertising; a classified business directory, simi lar to that in a telephone book; and the Marion County rural route directory. Copies of the new directory are available to the public at the Chamber of Commerce and in both city and state libraries. Violence flared again in the Suez Canal Zone Monday when Egyp tian saboteurs blew up a train, wounding four British soldiers. One Egyptian was killed in the gunfight that followed. The Wafdist-dominated Parlia ment accepted Maher Pasha's non party Cabinet and Voted to keep the country under martial law for the next two months. Tanks and armored cars contin ued to patrol Cairo's streets and infantrymen were stationed at im ported intersections. But rigid cur few restrictions were relaxed and passes were issued to newspaper men and others whose work re quired them to be on the streets at night. Washington Mirror UMTto Rate Hot Debate By A. ROBERT SMITH Statesman Correspondent WASHINGTON Congress will tackle what may become the most controversial issue in this elec tion - year ses- "' lsion when the House this week or next begins debate on Uni versal Military Training. The House Armed Services Committee is ex pected to con clude hearings on UMT this week, according to A. Robert Smith Chairman Vinson (D-Ga.), and draw up a final draft for House debate. Rep. Walter Norblad (R-Ore.), a committee member, declined to predict what form of UMT the committee would recommend to the House, saying there was great division of opinion among the members. The committee has in the past three weeks heard UMT lauded by defense leaders as necessary for America's national security in the fight against Communism, and condemned by farm, labor and church groups as a threat to the Nation's economic and moral strength. Farm Groups Active The big three farm groups National Grange, American Farm Bureau Federation and National Farmers Union joined forces last week to contend that UMT would drain off more manpower from the national labor pool than the economic vitality of the cqun try can stand. They warned that UMT would take millions of young men for initial and refresher train ing during the summer when most needed on the farm. The UMT plan recommended to Congress by the National Security Training Commission would place each 18-year old into six-months basic training followed by IVx years in the reserves subject to immediate call to active duty. Dur ing the first four years of this pe riod he would be subject to an nual refresher training, probably during the summer. Congresman Norblad believes that the threat of world aggression demands U. S. military readiness on the one hand, but that military expenditures must be reduced on the other. UMT "Only Way" "This can only be done through a strong reserve program so that the standing armed forces can be reduced, thereby cutting heavy military costs," Norblad explained, "and UMT is about the only way of getting these reserves." Norblad said he thought there were still many problems con nected with a UMT program that have not yet ben resolved, par ticularly the question of when it should be implemented. Vinson has proposed starting this year with a pilot program of 60,000 volunteers. Sentiment in Congress appears largely divided. A few are open advocates of UMT, such as Sen ators Wayne Morse and Harry P. Cain, both members of the Senate Armed Services Committee. An other ,hard core is unalterably op posed to it in any form. Most Congressional offices, like that of Norblad, report mail on this issue from constituents is in creasing and running anywhere from 80 to 99 per cent against UMT. RITES FOR MRS. RILEA Funeral services for Mrs. Mary E. Rilea, 80, mother of Gen. Tho mas E. Rilea, adjutant general of Oregon, will be held at the Colon ial Mortuary in Portland at 2:30 pjn. today.

Washington Clergymen Invite President to Graham Revival WASHINGTON WVMore than 200 Washington clergymen joined Monday in inviting President Tru man to attend a giant revival meeting on the steps of the Capi tol next Sunday afternoon. Evangelist Billy Graham hopes to deliver the Invitation to the White House personally Tuesday.

A move by city employes to erage to federal social security Council Monday night at City Hall. At the request of an employes' petition the Council adopted a resolution calling on the Public Employes Retirement System of Ore gon to permit the withdrawal of those city employes who signed the petition. Under a 1951 state law, such withdrawal may be accomplished if at least 75 per cent of the cov ered employes petition for it. The Salem petition was signed by 178 of 230 regular employes. Not counted in the computation were the 88 city firemen who have a departmental retirement plan ap proved by the Salem electorate some years ago. Employers were represented be fore the concil by Attorney Law- rence Brown, who said the city workers had studied the relative merits of the pension plans for many months. It was only recently that the federal plan was amend - ed to include state and city em ployes. The Council also approved an nexation of a small area north east of the city limits at Park Ave nue and Center Street, provided that electors of the area vote the annexation in a special election March 18. It will not be necessary for city electors to vote on the issue. Public hearing was set for Feb. 25 on another proposed annexation affecting an area along Stortz Avenue just north of Salem.
