"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.

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. Franzen, city manager, who
discussed the city's new sewage
disposal plant.

SHS Dean of Girls Stresses
Need for New YW Building
Salem girls need a "place to go" and a new VWCA building
would suit them just right.
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.

Zone Improved
Petition for a reduced speed
zone near North Howell School
was filed Wednesday by Marion
County Court after considerable
discussion as to effectiveness of
such arrangements.
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.
