ed States, Britain and France
,igned with Western Germany
Monday a historic peace contract
welcoming 48 million former ene
imies as new allies in a gamble

ters met with West German Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer in the
federal parliament building here.

' when and if ratified will end the
Allied occupation, bring West
Germans into the European com
munity as an all but sovereign
nation, and permit the Germans
to contribute about 400,000 troops
to Europe's Western defense army.
Our work will succeed it
i must succeed if we are to avoid
noihcr catastrophe," said French

British Foreign Secretary Anthony
, Eden and U. S. Secretary of State
j Dean Acheson.

! The peace contract, signed over
the repeated and vociferous pro
'. tests of Moscow, becomes effect
! ive upon ratification by the four
parliaments.

2 Small Areas
Apply for City
Annexation
(Story also on Page 1.)
Two small areas applied for an
nexation to the City of Salem, but
the City Council was in no hurry
Monday night to accept the over
tures. Aldermen referred to the Plan
ning and Zoning Commission an
annexation bid from Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Watkins and James R.
Rowland for their eight acres
south of Orchard Heights Road.
City Manager J. L. Franzen said
the owners are interested in water
supply for a residential develop
ment in the area. He added that
no city money is now available
for extension of drains, sewers or
lights.
The other petiiton for annexa
tion came from the Percy Pughs
and the Maynard Haverlands who
own about six acres east of Ever
green Avenue and north of Engle
wood Avenue. Aldermen directed
that petitioners be notified that
the city would prefer the area to
extend north to Market Street so
that Evergreen Avenue might be
carried through all the way from
D Street to Sunnyview Avenue.
Vote Not Required
In both cases the proposed an
nexation would not require an
election as all property affected
Is owned by the petitioners.
The most recent annexation to
Salem was accepted officially
Monday night when the Council
canvassed the 25-5 vote In the
Stortz Avenue area of North Sa
lem, favoring its annexation to
the city.
Aldermen asked City Manager
J. L. Franzen to bring in a full
report on the itatus of two police
officers who were Injured in line
of duty and whose medical re
ports now show them not fit for
full police duty. These are Patrol
men Arch Wilson and Ronald
Wiebe, both Injured some time
ago in traffic. The Salem Civil
Service Commission recommended
that the city find other jobs for
them.
$500 Offer Accepted
The city accepted an offer from
the Firemen's Beneficial Associa
tion of $500 towards a softball
field lighting fund provided the
city name the new softball dia
mond in Bush's Pasture as Phil
lips Field in honor of the late Paul
Phillips, fire captain and softball
entusiast.
A bill was passed to repeal the
license fees against small loan
companies. Only other bill passed
accepted a deed from Mark and
Elizabeth Taylor for property to
extend Montrose Avenue in con
nection with Improvement of that
street through to Kingwood Drive.
Low bid of $39,928 from Central
Paving Co. was accepted for as
phaltic concrete which will go
into this summer's street improve
ments to be paid for by property
owners affected. Other bids for
paving materials were rejected
but the city engineer was author
ized to purchase materials as
needed. Much of the city-financed
work on which bids were based

BERLIN (JPy- The Communist
East German government an
nounced Monday night it was
"strengthening" immediately its
forces facing now virtually sov
ereign West Germany.
The cabinet in the Russian
occupied East Zone, at a special
session, issued a decree directing
Wilhelm Zaisser, chief of the Red
secret police, to set up special
controls all along the border be
tween East and West Germany.
There was no mention of Ber
lin, which also Is divided along
east-west lines, but has ostensi
bly been under four-power con
trol. There was no immediate disclo
sure of what the East Germans
meant by "strengthening" their
border forces. The Western Allies
have long held that the East Ger
man Communists have a full
fledged military establishment un
der the guise of "police" units.
has been eliminated by failure of
several ballot measures in the re
cent election.
! Orders More Meters
I Parking meters were ordered
! installed in the 600 block of Court
' Street where all-day parking has
; been allowed although adjacent
blocks are in restricted parking
zones. This is the block in which
t he YMCA is located.
Public hearing was set for June
9 on a proposal that City Transit
Lines change a north route to in
clude Abrams Avenue. Hearing
1 was set for the same night on a
I request for business zoning to per
J mit a two-store building on Cen
i ter Street near Capitol, submit
ted by Giles Smith and approved
by the zoning commission.
' The Council received an ad
verse zoners' report on another
zone permit which would permit
the V. J. Osko insurance firm to
add a second story to an office
' building at 1465 N. Capitol St.
Aldermen said they would set a
; public hearing if Osko wishes to
continue his bid.
1 Gas Station for Airport
Permission was granted by the
Council for the city to operate a
gas and oil business at the air
port for planes. City Manager
Franzen said no private concern
at the airport now provides that
service and the city could handle
it with present employes until
some proviate oil business could
; be provided there.
I City employes new petition for
: withdrawal from the State Public
Employes Retirement System was
i forwarded officially by the Coun
; cil. An earlier petition was re
I jected by the state system for in
! sufficient number of signatures.

Missourians
Start Trend
To Stevenson
By The Associated Press
Democrats in President Tru
man's home state of Missouri be
gan picking delegates to the Dem
ocratic national convention Mon
day with a minor trend toward
Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois.
Four of the first 28 delegates
chosen came out for Stevenson.
Nineteen were silent on their
choice. The other three were split,
with one vote each for Sen. Estes
Kefauver, Vice President Alben
Barkley and New York's favorite
son, W. Averell Harriman.
In other political developments:
Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio was
busy campaigning in South Dako
ta, with an eye on the 14 GOP
delegates to be chose in a primary
election there June 3. He is oppos
ed by a slate of delegates commit
ted to Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhow
er, his chief rival for the nomin
ation. In Texas, Taft supporters won
the first round in a battle that
could make the Texas delegation
to the GOP national convention a
hot potato.
With the state GOP convention
scheduled to meet Tuesday to
name 38 national delegates, the
state executive committee voted
46 to 14 Monday to seat a Taft
delegation over a rival Elsenhower
group.
It was the first action on 31 dis
putes involving the rival factions.
Eisenhower leaders have threat
ened to bolt the convention and
send their own delegation to Chi
cago if the executive committee
resorts to "steam -roller" tactics in
favor of the Taft camp.

Lost Convicts
Found Under
Prison Floor
SAN QUENTTN, Calif. (TVTwo;
convicts missing since a cell count
last Thursday were found lata
Monday hiding in the furniture
factory of the California state
penitentiary.
A search party of guards who
had been scouring the prison since
Thursday noticed a loose board
in the floor of the furniture fac
tory's second story.
They pried it up and found
Marion E. Watson, 24. San Joaquin
County burelar and kidnapper,
and Frank Whitney, 22, Los An
geles robber, lying In the shallow
space between the floor and the
ceiling below.
The pair said they had been
living on hoarded candy bars and
a tobacco can of water since
Thursday, leaving their cramped
quarters only at night.
They said they had first planned
to escape the prison Sunday night.
But postponed the attempt be
cause it was "too light" outside.
Then they planned to try to get
over the prison wall Monday night
but were found first, they added.
Watson has a long record in
Oregon. He was sent to the ward
for the criminally insane in Sa
lem in 1948. He escaped and with
Robert Melvin Burr, a former at
tendant, he robbed a Clackamas
County motel.
They were caught in December,
1949, but again escaped from the
hospital. 5
Watson was caught the second
time in Sotckton, Calif. He was
prosecuted there for stealing a car
i during the escape and was senten
ced to San Quentin.
