Boos, Hoots
In Parliament
Brings Crisis
LONDON UF The Labor oppo
sition raised cries of wounded pa
triotism in the House of Commons
Wednesday night and demanded a
parliamentary showdown with the
Conservatives on charges that the
House presiding officer was un
V fair.
Out of the booing and hooting
session came an official Labor
challenge to the lit- of Prime Min
ister , Winston Churchill's govern
ment. It will bring debate Thursday
boiA-een Churchill who thought
Lborite called him a goose
and the feuding Laborite leaders,
ex-Prime Minister Clement Attlee
d leftist Aneurin Bevan.
Parliamentarians couldn't recall
a precedent from the situation
that developed.
Churchill let it pass when a La
borite. unless Churchill mis-heard,
called him a goose, but the 78-year-old
prime minister strongly
objected to being hooted at three
tiroes by Labor members.
It developed in debase on an
Allied command setup for the Med
iterranean countries.
Road conditions in an area just
north of Salem and east of Cherry
Avenue are so bad that school
bus service has been curtailed, it
was reported Wednesday.
Marion County Commissioner
Roy Rice, in reporting to the
County Court on the matter, added
that if the roads were not im
proved mail service would soon
be cut off. too.
The area Is contained in the
South Keizer Special Road Dis
trict. Residents of the district as
sess themselves for road repairs.
Rice said the roads there "are in
very bad condition."
Patterson Says
Truckers Won't
Be Penalized
PORTLAND m State Sen. Paul
Patterson, who is expected to be
the next governor of Oregon, ad
vised truckers Wednesday that
they would get relief from any
inequities in the new weight-mile
tax.
He told the Oregon Automobile
Dealers' Association, "despite the
heat of the campaign over truck
taxation, I feel the Legislature's
attitude was best expressed by the
interim committee in its unsolicited
action favoring an effective date
of Nov. 5, rather than last Jan. 1.
"This law will remain in oper
ation long enough to observe its
effects and while the Legislature
makes further studies, then
changes will be made to strengthen
the weak spots and to ease undue
hardships.
"Changes will be made sooner
than if the trucking industry can
show, inequitable treatment t o
some of its segments. The overall
attitude of the Legislature cer
tainly is not for pushing trucks off
th highways," he said.
Russell . Bonesteele, Salem,
was installed as president of the
association.

Free-Spender
Answer to
Lost $2,500
PORTLAND UFi - Cread L.
Jeffries, who lost $2,500 on a
Portland street Tuesday, got most
of it back Wednesday.
Portland merchants became sus
picious of a seaman who was
spending money freely. They called
police, who finally tracked the
wandering spender down at Yam
hill, southwest of Portland.
Poll said Seaman Charles
Mabry Sandridge, 27, had $2,500 in
his pockets, and admitted finding
it on a Portland sidewalk. They
said he admitted spending about
$450 in the past day. He finally
was freed, and the money turned
over to the 75-year-old Jeffries,
who headed for a bank.
Jeffries said the money, wrapped
in paper, fell out of his waistband
while he was walking in downtown
Portland Tuesday. The money was
part of the life savings of Jeffries,
a retired restaurant operator.

ROSEBURG if) A skull found
40 miles east: of here Nor. 14 has
been turned over to Dr. Homer
Harris, head of the. Oregon State
Police laboratory, for possible iden
tification. State Police Lt, Howard Morgan
of Medford has brought up the
possibility that the skull may be
that of Cherokee James, about 60,
a Salem policeman who disap
peared while hunting in the area
Oct. 6, 1330.
Morgan formerly was stationed
here and recalled the hunt for
James, whose correct name was
Emery W. James. Ranger Fred
Adams of Glide took charge of the
search in the Little River area
where James was lost. He was
aided by Jasper Palouse, an Indian
guide, and woodsmen.
James' tracks were found, but
could be followed for only a short
distance. James was a state prison
guard before he joined the Salem
police force. Because of his repu
tation as a stern man. there was
speculation that an embittered ex
convict might have slain him in
the woods.
There also was the theory that
James had suffered a heart attack,
since he was subject to seizures.
His watch chain was found in 1939.
The skull was turned up by a logger.
James brother - in - law, Walter
Dorman of Salem, who was a mem
ber of the original search party,
came here to inspect the skull,
but could give no help.
A man named 1 oher, who lived
in Portland, disappeared in the
same area in 1921. T e skull could
possibly, be his, Undersheriff ELM.
Schwader said.
Dr. Harris, here to testify at a
murder trial, told Schwader he
would make laboratory "'tests on
the skull to try to determine the
age and sex.
(In Salem Wednesday, George
Edwards, 2445 Hazel Ave., now
with the United States National
Bank and long-time friend of
James, said be hoped this find
would solve the mystery of the
man's disappearance.
(Edwards and James were both
on the Salem police force from
1924 until the hitter's disappear
ance In 1930. A watch fob that was
found in the area in 1939 was sent
to Edwards for identification to
see if it might have belonged to
James. "I surely couldn't be sure,"
Edwards said Wednesday. "The
fob looked similar to one ho used
to wear, but I couldn't identify it
positively.
(Two men who were with James
on the ill-fated hunting trip have
since died by natural means).

f Girlie' Type
Magazines
Denounced
WASHINGTON Iri Novelist
Margaret Culiin Banning said
Wednesday about tw . billion "girl
ie" magazines are sold annually
on U. S. newsstands and serve
"no purpose except pictorial prost
itution." - !
Testifying before a special House
inquiry committee, the 1 year old
writer said that of 1.231 magazines
currently being published, all but
about 100 are classified as "girl
ies." She denounced them as "vic
ious and provocative. - I
At the outset, committee mem
bers qualified Mrs. Banning as an
expert witness because of her re
search for an article entitled "filth
on the Newstands,"-published in
the October issue of Reader's Di
gest. The House group, beaded by
Rep. Ezekiel Gathings (D-nArk), is
making a broad study of! alleged
salacious -iterator e including
books, magazines and so-called
comic booklets dealing with sex,
crime and horror. ;
Mrs. Banning, a graduate of Vas
sar College, told the lawmakers
she found tnat many buyers of
"girlie" magazines surreptitiously
remove the covers before taking
them home,
"The newstands in America car
ry a .display of sex provocation
to be found nowhere else in the
world," she said. "These magazines
are not for fun, nor play, nor
beauty, but simply issued for
straight provication."
As steps toward a clean-up, Mrs.
Banning proposed self-censorship
by the publishing industry, stricter
enforcement of laws against ob
scene literature, and an aroused
community opinion.
"Political censorship, whether it
is local, state or federal, is not the
answer, she said.
