"Fore Urn Sources Aviation Age said its Informa tion came from foreign sources." The magazine said these are the up-to-date facts about the Soviet aircraft industry: 1. There are 13 large, SO medi um and 40 smaller plants produc ing airframes, "an imposing array of industrial strength." 2. Russia's ministry for aircraft industry supervises 360 factories which do all or most of their work for the Red Air Force. 3. Contributing industries in clude about 20 rubber factories and IS to 18 large aluminum plants. Plant Output 4. About 15 larger and an in determinate number of smaller plants produce jet engines and pis ton engines simultaneously, while another 13 plants manufacture piston engines only. The average annual output of a plant is 3,600 engines. 5. But for bottlenecks in three branches of production alumi num, engines and precision tools an annual output of from 50,- 0O3 to 60,000 Russian planes "could be assumed without fear of exaggeration." Production Peak 6. With a peak production to date of 63,000 engines produced In 1951, construction of multi-engin-ed aircraft is severely limited and "it can be seriously doubted whe ther the Soviet TJnion ever will be able to build a powerful strategic (heavy bomber) air force under such conditions." Aviation Age estimated that In 1951 Russia produced 10,700 fight ers, 530 reconnaissance planes, 3, 060 light and medium bombers, 1,246 heavy bombers, 1,430 trans port aircraft and 5,000 trainers and liaison aircraft. The Aircraft Industries Asso ciation estimates that U. S. prod uction last year totaled 5,000 air planes and 20,000 engines.

Going Nerta Transit Lines Drivers Given Safety Awards By NORMAN ANDERSON Staff Writer. The Statesman Salem's safest drivers 17 City Transit Lines bus drivers who to gether have set a mark of 101 years without an accident gath ered Wednesday night for their annual safety awards banquet. Highlight of the evening was the presentation of a wrist watch to George Walker who entered the circle of drivers who have gone 10 or more years without traffic mishap. Only two others have gone long er. They are Homer Harrison, with 11 years of safety, and Henry Eld, whose 14 years without an acci dent is the longest of any CTL driver, in both Salem and Eugene. In presenting the watch to Wal ker, Salem's Mayor Al Loucks lauded the 17 men, saying that such a record of safety is "re flection of credit to the city of Salem which is as important as any other accomplishment of the city." He continued, "To go a year without an accident is a task for most people, but It's almost incon ceivable for me to imagine any one who drives as often as you bus drivers to go as long as 10 and 14 years." Five of the drivers were singled out by CTL General Manager Carl J. Wendt for recognition as hav ing no accidents during all the time they have been with the com pany. There were O. K. Hale and Edward Ryan, both seven years, T. I. Ankey, six years, H. V. Cross and Lee Epley, both four years. . Others receiving the badges, pre sented by the National Safety Council, were Edward Dolan, eight years; Raymond Cross, seven years, J. H. Harp, five years, Nor man Yagle, four years; W. H. Bur right and Ernest Winn, both three years. Benny Miller and F. M. Stewart, both three year safety drivers, were unable to receive their awards in person. A guest at the banquet was J. L.

That opinion was voiced Wednesday before Salem Rotary Club by a woman in daily contact with many teen agers, Miss Mary Elizabeth Gilbert, dean of girls at Salem High School. Rotarians heard needs, plans and fund raising strategy for the new YW outlined by a panel of i five women and the association's building fund chairman, A. C. Haag. The talks were given at a luncheon in the Marion Hotel. Declaring "a modern, well equipped YWCA Is a necessity for Salem," Miss Gilbert said a more adequate recreational center would attract many teen age girls and expose them to a Christian atmosphere in contrast to the now easily encountered attitudes of "getting away with whatever you can." The dean said one girl recently expressed the sentiment of many: "There are only three things to do in Salem go to a show, drive around town or sit around a drive in for several hours at night." Mrs. Harold O. Schneider, YW president, said present activities and public use are limited in the overcrowded building which has only two meeting rooms. Mrs. A. A. Schramm said the building planned would house 55 women rather than 14 as at present, would have two gymnasiums, a lounge, snack bar and several game and club rooms. Mrs. James T. Brand and Mrs. Bruce Pickett also spoke on the program conducted by William L. Phillips Sr. Other club guests from the YW were Miss Gertrude Acheson, executive secretary; Pa tricia Halseth, YWCA Queen, and representatives from each Tri-Y chapter. ' The YWCA will reopen its building fund raising campaign March 27, with a goal of $200,000. Win Pardons In fBra' Case TALLAHASSEE, Fla.

The petition was submitted by 23 residents of the school district northeast of Salem. The court pointed out that such zones are difficult of enforcement, that present areas are frequently disregarded and that effectiveness depends largely upon complaints against offenders brought by resi dents of the area. In order to se cure enforcement by state police as well as the sheriffs depart ment, zones must be set up by the state.
