As a result; the aldermen returned to Salem Memorial Auditor ium' Association its petition that the Council call a special election -on the proposed bond issue. The Council asked for a revised petition DtF Gov. McKay called Monday to deny that he had "silenced' he highway department In the fur nishing of data relating" to truck taxation, as was implied m the heading of yesterday's column. He explained that his position was that departments could and should furnish factual material, bvt should not go "on the Chautauqua circuit' for or against pending measures. Be said he had made the same request of the racing commission whose existence is put in Jeopardy by an initiative to abolish pari mutuels. . The California -Oregon Power Company has been carrying for ward an Impressive hydroelectric development program in the mountains of Eastern Douglas County in the North Umpqua River t basin. The development calls for qonstruction of . eight dams and power plants in- which the waters will be used over and over as they race downwards to the sea. Four "of the' plants are now completed,, two are under j construction and two more in the plan for future development The total capacity of the eight plants1 will be 185,000 kw and the cost will run to $50,000,000, which seems a very reasonable outlay per kilowatt of installed capacity. The guiding genius of the de velopment is John C. Boyle of -Medford, vice president and gen eral manager ot Copco, a veteran member of its staff. He has per sonally directed the. planning cad construction work." The whole program was recently reported on by LeRoy B. Inman, city editor of the Roseburg News - Review1 and? commented on by Charles Stanton, its editor. Features of the development which I seem most appealing are that!

Strike Starts BURBANK, Calif (P) A strike which began Monday at Lockheed Aircraft Corp., brought into sharp focus an unsettled labor situation In the Southern California Indus try which produces many of the nation s warplanes. The AFL-International Associa tion of Machinists which struck t Lockheed also served a contract termination notice on Douglas Air craft Co., making a strike legally possible there, too, after five days. Pickets, some wearing shorts in the hot weather, began marching at Lockheed's plants at 6 a so. The union has demanded 14 cents in fringe benefits, an escalator clause, union shop and other benefits. The company has offered 7 cents, plus 2 cents under an escalator clause, Present rates range from $1.25 to $2.52 an hour. The union repre sents a bargaining unit of 25,000 out of Lockheed's 33,000 Califor nia employes. , Animal Crackers l Bv WARREN GOODRICH Wasn't It nice of them to tJe.eI that food on our cs?" ' At Lockheed Plan Limit GANGWARE Statesman ana went on recora inai sucn an auditorium would at least figure in the city's long range plans. Fred Paulus, deputy state treas urer, said the legal ceiling on gen eral obligation bonds, at 5 per cent of assessed valuation fixed at a 60 per cent ratio to true value, would limit Salem bonds to $2, 899,495. Of this, he added, the city now has $537,000 worth of bonds outstanding. i Several aldermen said they con sidered it unwise to issue bonds "up to the hilt" and indicated the possible amount for auditorium funds suggested would have to be under $2,000,000. Could Divide Program Carl Greider, auditorium group president, declared the construc tion program could be divided into three units. He and others of the association urged .that the city pave the way for a separate ex pression from the public and, if favorable, appoint a commission to determine site, get architect's plans and proceed with the pro ject. The Council session .last night at City Hall was presided over by Alderman Robert F. White in the absence of Mayor Alfred W. Loucks who is ill at his home. In virtually the only major leg islation of the session, the Council passed the South Liberty Street truck traffic bill which, after amendment, provides that through trucks originating south of the 12th Street' junction with Pacific Highway must enter the city via 12th Street Property owners on South Liberty had complained of heavy truck traffic through their residential area. Ask Law Repeal Three bills introduced bv Al derman White call for repeal of a 1 law mat sidewalks be put in with in 100 days of a street improve ment, that the Council be em powered to appoint pro tern offi cers as needed and that airport administration be revised accord ing to 'recommendations recently received from the city's airport advisory commission. A business zone was created on the north side of Pine Street at Portland Road for development of a garage business in what is now a residential zone. This affects the L. H. Periman property. " i Alderman David O Hara intro duced a bill to allow construction of an additional apartment unit on a property at 5th and Locust Streets. He asked that final ac tion be taken, declaring that the property owner had been held up more than two months due to in complete information received from - the city engineer's office in connection with the project. The Council declined to suspend rules for immediate action, so the bill win come up at the Sept. 22 meet in. '. (Additional Council news on Page 2.)

Again i The City Council kept the Salem firemen out of politics again Monday night The Council voted to allow Marion County Republicans to , hang a caqvas banner at 220 N. Liberty St but rejected their request that city firemen put up the banner. Last month an issue arose be tween firemen and the city ad ministration over their political rights under city civil service. Firemen were not permitted to circulate petitions for a ballot measure. Financial Aid May Be Sought For State Fail State aid in financing the Ore gon State Fair probably will be sought at the 1S53 legislative ses sion. Dr. E. B. Stewart, Roseberg, chairman of the State Fair com mission, said Monday in Salem. Stewart said several state fair buildings are old and will have to be remodeled or replaced within a few years. This cannot be accomplished, he said, out of the fair profits. The suggestion has been made that the legislature approve a continuing appropriation of at least $100,000 a year until the fair plant is im proved. One building requiring im mediate attention is the stadium, Dr. Stewart said. This building was condemned by the state fire marshal prior to the 1952 fair with the result that the night horse show was aban doned. The fire marshal said the stadium was a hazard to patrons because of keeping horses on the first floor within a short distance of the gates and exits. . Dr. Stewart said he would con fer with Gov. Douglas McKay Tuesday in connection with some financing plan for -the fair. ; Court Review OfPeltonDam Ruling Assured - Court review of, the.

Fish Commission or any other commis sion of the state for decision or approval and without requiring plaintiff to seek approval of any other commission.

Frank Costello May Lose Gtizenship WASHINGTON (JP)-The Justice Department announced Monday it "will try to strip American citizen ship from Frank Costello, dapper racket czar who came to this coun try from Italy at the age of four. Atty.-Gen. McGranery said the attempt will be based on a charge that Costello lied by failing to dis close a jrior criminal record when he applied for citizenship in 1925. Costello served a prison term in 1915. Paine, But r g i n S I i c e d running as independents together got almost 17 per cent and a Dem ocrat 26.7. Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Richard Nixon, while campaigning here last week, said Maine's results might affect the outcome of the presidential race Any big drop from 1948 victory margins, he said, would be a blow to friTpf and Gen. Eisenhower. As unofficially tabulated, the votes stood: . For Senate: Payne 107,264, Dem ocrat James C Oliver 45,444, in dependent Harry W. Boyker 1,227 and Republican - Indepen dent Neil S. Bishop 24,270. It's been 18 years since Demo crats have elected, a major office holder, in Maine. But in all that time, the nation has continued to go Democratic. Blasts -Mints Governor Slaps At 'One-Party Press' System PORTLAND V Gov. Adlal Stevenson told a group of editors Monday that talk of war to free the captive nations behind the flron Curtain is "one of the most mischievous ideas that has been injected into this . campaign.' Stevenson made the statement in answer to a question from the audience after a luncheon appear ance and speech here. , The question may have stem med from a speech . before the American. Legion convention last month by Gen. Dwieht' Eisen hower, the . Republican candidate for president. Eisenhower pro posed the United States tell Rus sia "with cold finality 'that this country will never finally recog nize the enslavement by the "Reds of the previously sovereign na tions of Europe. The question today was: V "Is it your opinion that either political party can give assurance of liberation to the captive peo ples behind the Iron Curtain with in any foreseeable future? Stevenson replied, after asking whether the discussion was on or off the record: . Answers "No" "I shall answer that question in one syllable no! v "It is a very difficult question to present to me. I should like to talk about it for a half an hour. The inference that a war of liberation- to liberate the captive populations behind the Iron Cur tain seems to me one of the most mischievous ideas that has been injected into this campaign. Mis chievous 'not only in the sense of positive danger to the people, at tempting to be liberated.

"One-Party Press He expressed concern, also "when I see the extent to which we are developing a one-party press in a two-party country."- He said, however, that he has been "impressed by the fair treatment accorded to me by most news papers, including those , aligned editorially with the opposition. About 140 Oregon editors and publishers were present There was some laughter but very little clapping during Stevenson's sneech. However, he was given loud applause at the end of .his prepared talk. .. - Shortly before leaving for1 Seat tle he spoke at a Democratic party rally, shifted from a picnic ground to Benson Tech auditorium be cause of rain earlier in the day. ; The ,l,850-seat auditorium was filled and a hundred or more per sons stood at the rear and cheered frequently as Stevenson made sallies against what the called the two Republican parties which he said achieved an "armistice in their Chicago convention. - N EN.

This . was predicted, however, and was earlier authorized by the school board. Prin. Carl Aschen enbrenner, through parent -. con ferences, was lining up a special T:50 ajn. industrial class. The boys taking it would be dismissed from, school at 2:45 pan. instead of the usual 3:40 pm.

Stevenson called Monday night for; big-scale development . of Ameri ca's natural resources under an "eagle-eyed and tight-fisted' fed eral spending policy measuring each project's essentiality to the common good, not Just 'local in terests." The Democratic - presidential' nominee told a capacity crowd of 6,700 persons in the Civic Ice Are-" na that in all cases the yardstick -for spending the public's money! must be whether "the benefits of' public investment accrue to the t general public" and not to just certain areas. . J Before turning to his prepared text, he hit again as lie has done , repeatedly on this Western ; campaign tour at Republican : charges of corruption in the ad ministration, and the GOP conten tion that election of Stevenson would not assure a house cleaning. ; As far as I know," Stevenson said, "nobody is running on a pro corruption ticket" More Development Stevenson pledged that as Presi-" dent he would work for - further ' development of -America's re-" sources-so that "there will be no . halt in the process that has made us Jthe richest and most powerful -nation , in the world. But he added that the return from investment of public funds, "must be real, not hypothetical, and the gains must be national not merely local." Then he said: ' "We must be eagle-eyed and tight-fisted about these expendi tures. The mr gic phrase 'engineer ing feasibility and the blessing of the local interests are not enough - to justify a public project. : "It must pass the harder test : of comparison would this money be better spent on rehabflitatina eroded farm land in the South or exhausted range land in the West, rather than on .-eclalming a desert? . Is This the Year?" "And - it must pass another. more immediate test is the com ing fiscal year the one in which to start this investment of public -funds at aU?" He said the whole matter of spending for such projects needs careful judy. in saying the Democrats have had the help of a "minority of progressive Republicans in de velopment of the West's resources. Stevenson singled out the late Sen. Charles ' McNary of Oregon, and then in obvious reference to one of Oregon's present OtO.P. sena-. tors, Wayne Morse, he said said without naming Morse that ha never let his Republicanism stop him from voting for Democratic policies."
