By Committee Budget economies as drastic as eliminating some outlying Salem city fire stations were I aired this week as seven budget subcommit tees warmed up for a city budget session at 8:30 p.m. Monday in City Hall. The fire department already was in for considerable discussion, in cluding making first aid service a separate department and asking Salem voters to support it by spe cial millage levy. 'Regarding the hints of such fire changes, Fire Chief Ellsworth L. Smith declared flatly ! Friday I do not recommend reducing any of the present services of the fire department" He said abandoning any outlying fire station would be detrimental to fast firefighting service and probably would result in higher insurance rates. The city budget committee head ed by Alderman Daniel J. Fry now has under scrutiny City Mana ger J. L. Franzen's $2,500,000 bud get draft which is in balance but has left for the committee to de termine such ifems as salary rais es, emergency fund and several special projects. The budget meeting will follow the regular City Council session at 7:30 p.m. when a light agenda is expected. ' - - A tighter, policy of commercial driveways will be proposed In ad ministration v amendments to a similar tightening bill brought in recently by Alderman Thomas Armstrong. Aim is to increase parking area by eliminating some obsolete driveways in the business area. , (Story! also on page 1.) - The state canJt sign away its right of eminent domain but can give First 'Presbyterian - Church of Salem virtual assurance of re maining on Its present location for a . half century, the State Board or Control! agreed Friday. Gov. Paul Patterson said the attorney general had ruled that neither the board nor the Legisla ture can contract with the church to guarantee such a program, thus denying itself the right to expand by condemnation if , necessary in the future. . .. The board ' and legislators at tending its meeting were of the opinion -that the state's plan to assure . the church's - occupancy and expansion . rights should be made a. matter of record to dis courage future Legislatures" from reversing it The church will open negotia tions for two houses just north of its property on Winter 'Street It was expected that the Legisla ture will be given a proposal al lowing the state to sell the church two properties " already acquired on Center Street This would be required unless the lots were sold by bid. Another house on Center Street also will be sought by the state or church, since the latter would be sole occupant of this block in the mall and would be required to cooperate with the Capitol Planning Commission in keeping its appearance up to that of state properties. Secretary of State Earl T. New- bry's earlier suggestion that the state buy the church building and make necessary changes for of fice use, "for a new building will be needed very shortly," was passed up by Friday's decision. He said it would . have provided more than 12,000 feet of usable space with a $22,000 annual rental, replacing some dwellings now in use for offices. Although Robert W. Sawyer, chairman of the planning commis sion, was unable to attend yester day's session," he wrote that the plan of letting the church remain and expand was consistent with the commission's original and con tinuing program for mall develop ment This was planned because "this Is a fine building, architec turally worthy, and its presence will not detract from the appear ance or setting of the state buildings." 1 7 From Scotland Yard la England to McMinnville and then to the Sa lem Police force.

Gov. Patterson said the attorney general found In his own investi gation sufficient facts to warrant the grand jury Investigation. Both Thornton and the governor said the Douglas County sheriff and district attorney invited a grand Jury investigation and had cooperated in the preliminary in vestigation by the attorney gener als omce.
