2 The Statesman, Salem, Oregon, Tuesday. May 13, 1952 General Sees No Easy Path To Security No one person and no one wea pon can assure U. S. security, MaJ. Gen. A. H. Noble said Monday in an Armed Forces Week keynote address before Salem Chamber of Commerce. Neither can any new concept of war or any one branch of service provide the final solution to peace, declared the commanding general of U. S. Marine forces in the Pa cific Area. Military history shows that each new major weapon was heralded as a means of easy victory or pre vention of war, General Noble added, but each development act ually was followed by the appear ance of effective counter-measures. . For this reason and also because 'the promises of Communism are great vote getters in many coun tries," the struggle between U. S. and the Communist world will go on for an Indefinite period, pre - dieted the general. Referring to this nation's mili tary strength as determined by the federal budget President Truman has submitted to Congress. Gen eral Noble said this U. S. military buildup is designed to deter ag gression, to keep the fight out side the U. S. and to have on hands the means of retaliation and of shielding the U. S. mobilization effort in the event of any attack on this country. But the present military strength is not a force to wage all out war, he stated. The general was introduced to the chamber luncheon audience at the Serfator Hotel by Mayor Al fred W. Loucks. Other military personnel representing various services in Salem were introduced by Ward Davis, Salem Chamber vice president, and Maj. Norman Campion, Armed Forces Week chairman. General Noble left Salem Im mediately for Seattle. He will spend the remainder of the week there and at Portland where he i to address an Armed Forces Day program Saturday. Mean while in Salem, the week's activ ities center on open house at var ious military installations.

Idaho (P)-Edmund P. Werner, 21, who has been causing quite a stir since he was arrested here Friday on a charge of breaking out of the Marion County jail at Salem, Ore., capped his Lewiston tour Monday by al most giving a female deputy sher iff heart failure. Mrs. Hazel Kyle presumed she was conducting a routine task when she asked Werner to sign extradition papers, through which he agreed to return to Oregon to face the jail break charge. "Sure," Werner said when Mrs. Kyle shoved the extradition pa pers across the desk at him. "I migh as well come clean, hadn't I," Werner then asked. "Sure." Mrs. Kyle replied. Werner reached into his shirt and withdrew what appeared to be a snub-nosed automatic pistol. "To say the least, I was start led," Mrs. Kyle said. Werner handed the "gun" to her. Subsequent examination showed it had been carved from a bar of laundry soap furnished to all pris oners of the county jaiL It had been dyed black with shoe polish, also furnished to prisoners. Officers said Werner fashioned the pistol sometime Sunday night. Werner claimed on Saturday that it was he who shot Eddie Waitkus, first baseman for the Philadelphia Phillies, in June, 1949, at Chicago. This confession was discounted by Chicago police officers. A young woman, Ruth Steinha gen, admitted the crime at the time and has recently been re leased after serving a term in a mental institution.
