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. Today's
special event is a drill by the Air
Force Reserve Officer Training
Corps unit at Willamette Univer
sity on Sweetland Field at 1 p. m.

Council Delays
Oiling of North
Salem Streets
(Council news also on page 1.)
Proposing oil surfacing of the
new sections of Commercial and
Broadway Streets near north city
limits was deferred by Salem City
Council Monday night for further
study.
City Manager J. L. Franzen rec
ommended that Broadway's gravel
section be given heavy oil surfac
ing and Commercial's unpaved
section be given a light oiling,
both at the city's expense. He said
funds are available for the work,
complaints about the two streets
are numerous and the property
adjacent does not appear to be of
sufficient value to expect a reg
ular street paving job at the ex
pense of the property owners.
His report was tabled until May
27 after Alderman Daniel J. Fry
expressed the opinion that the city
shouldn't pay for the street work.
Action Delayed
Other new proposals held on the
table for action or consideration
at the next meeting May 27: Re
quest from Mrs. E. A. Lyle for
city bus service over Abcims Ave

North Commercial Street at Tryon
Avenue; parking restrictions on D
Street between Capitol and 5th
Streets; request from Roy and
W. A. Merrifield for water service
to King Street outside city lim
its; study by city manager of re
ports of speeding on Pine Street
and loud truck noises on North
and South Commercial Streets,
suggested by Alderman David
O'Hara; request of P. B. Beck for
permission to erect car port for
five cars in Frederick Street at
Catterlin Avenue.
The Council approved a request
to build a convent for St. Vincent
de Paul parish across from its
school and passed legislation to
change a zone and permit opera
tion of. a beauty parlor on 17th
near Nebraska Street.

before the former is paved this
year.

Geyser9 on
Seattle Lake
Laid to Meteor
SEATTLE (Pi - An unexplained
"big geyser of smoke, water or
steam" on Lake Washington early
Sunday, just after the explosion
over this area of what has been
tentatively identified as a big me
teor, was reported Monday.
The flash was sighted as far
east as Montana, 400 miles away.
Robert J. Shaw, an automobile
salesman living near the lake
which borders this city on the east,
said the "geyser, or whatever it
was, must have shot up 200 feet."
"I heard a terrible rumble," he
explained. "It seemed the noise
was coming from across the lake.
It shook the house. Then a great
geyser of smoke, water or steam
came up.
"There was quite a big cloud of
it, and it drifted up over the trees,
acting more like steam or smoke
than water."
None of the hundreds of other
reports told of parts of the sky
visitor passing through the atmos
phere successfully to reach the
earth.

Jail Escapee
Makes 'Pistol'
Out of Soap
LEWISTON. 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.
Court Hears
Seizure Debate
WASHINGTON (JP) - The Su
preme Court was told Monday the
government is a "mere trespasser"
and that President Truman had no
right, either in law or under the
Constitution, to seize the steel
mills.
But administration lawyers con
tended that, under the constitution,
Truman not only had the right
but the duty to take over the
plants and head off a nationwide
steel strike.
The nation's highest court heard
more than three hours of argu
ment. Large coal resources are found
in 28 of the United States.
