Republicans won the last elec

The registration ,order from the

Details of the Lipman plans
for locating in Salem were not
disclosed by Harold F. Wendel,
president of the mercantile firm.
The Gevurtz company was no
tified formally to vacate its North
Liberty Street store by June 30.
Negotiation Pending
Three pieces of property worth
an estimated $300,000 figure in
the purchase and lease transac
tions, some of which is still in
the final stages of negotiation,
according to Portland realtor Al
bert Bullier Sr., who made the
announcement Monday for Wen-
del.
Altogether the site being ac
quired by Lipman, Wolfe is near
ly one-half city block, as it ex
tends through the entire block of
Liberty to Commercial Streets
ior 67 feet south from Chemekta.
The additional Liberty Street
frontage is 166 feet deep, to the
north-south alley in that block.
Not Available Soon
There was no confirmation that
the Commercial Street end of the
site would be used for automobile
parking, but Realtor Bullier not
ed that because of lease agree
ments some of that part of the
property would not become avail
able for use for almost a year.
A two-story brick building at
the southeast corner of Commer
cial and Chemeketa Streets is oc
cupied by Capital Hardware and
Furniture Co. and Vern'S Place,
a tavern. Small buildings on the
site fronting Chemeketa and east
of that building house Crowley
Brake & Wheel Shop and Edna's
Alterations and Cleaning Shop.
Lipman is acquiring the prop
erty irom three estates, two man
aged by Pioneer Trust Co. and
the other by U.S. National Bank.
Msec, Option to Bay '
The Cross estate nroDertr on
which the Gevurtz store is locat
ed has been purchased by Lip
man's, according to the Portland
realtor. Negotiations are nearing
an end for 50-year leases of the
other two properties, with option
to buy them.
One of these is the 67x166 foot
property at Commercial and
Chemeketa Streets, which has
been under lease from the Klett
estate to Sol Schlesinger and oth
ers ui oaiem.
The other property, about the
same size at Liberty and Cheme
keta, has been held in trust by
U.S. National Bank. It is the for
mer A. N. Gilbert property.
The property negotiations have
been in prdgress 2Vi years be

Red Cross to Halt Blood
!
Program if Funds Short
The Marion County Red Cross
civilian blood program will end
July 1 unless the chapter meets
its goal of $51,000.
This was voted Monday night
by the chapter board of directors
presided over by Elton Thomp
son, county chairman.
Present fund .collections total
$41,000, which means that unless
$10,000 is received by the Red
Cross between now and July 1,
Marion County residents will
have to pay for their blood.
Avesage cost of a pint of blood
is $35.
The board considered the pro
posal of cutting the blood pro
gram for several hours last night
before reaching a decision. :
.Frank Parcher, chapter mana
ger, said the two other biggest
expenses on the chapter budget
are the Home Service Program
and disaster relieL - ,
Federal charter prohibits cut
ting either of these, so the blood
program will have to go unless
the deficit is met, he said.
Expected cost of the blood pro
gram in the county next year is
$4,600. . 1,

Re-Opening of
Alumina-Clay
Plant Near
Re-opening of the Salem alum-

in the next few days, it appeared
Monday.
The plant, built! at a cost of
$5,000,000 during World Waa II,
was purchased recently from the
General Services Administration,
an agency of the federa lgovem-
ment, by the Harvey Machine
Company of Los Angeles.
Final papers now are being
drawn up regarding the contract.
A. W. Metzger, plant manager
for several years and recently
named to that capacity for the
new . operation by the Harvey
firm, said' Monday he could sot
comment on reports of the immi
nent re-opening, j
From other sources, however,
it was learned that work might
start late this week.
The Harvey firm, major pro
cessors of aluminum, have an
nounced a five-year experimental
operation for the : Salem plant
with a view to perfecting and
greatly expanding the process of
producing raw alumina from
Northwest clay.
Emergency
Board Chosen
Members of the State Emergency
Board, a legislative committee
which makes emergency appropria
tions when the Legislature isn't in
session, were announced Monday
by the presiding officers of both
houses.
Those appointed to the board are
Sens. Howard C. Belton, Canby.
and Angus Gibson. Junction City;
and Reps. Dave Baum. La Grande;
Robert W. Root, Medford. and
Francis W. Ziegler, Corvallis.
Those who automatically are
members are Senate President
Eugene E. Marsh, McMiimville;

chairman of the Senate Ways and
Means Committee; and Rep. Henry

mittee. county collected 3,262 pints of
blood.
Of this total, 2,442 pints went
to hospitals in the county at no
cost The balance went for mili
tary use.
At an average cost of $35 per
pint, the Red Cross has supplied
S85.470 worth of blood to Marlon
County in the past nine months.
Total cost for a year to resi
dents of the county would be
about $4,600 if they made dona
tions through the Red Cross, Par
cher pointed out T
He said that if the blood pro
gram is ended, hospitals or com
munities will be forced to set up
their own private blood programs
and charge patients for blood.
The military blood program
will continue even if the civilian
program is dropped. '
Reason for this is that the Red
Cross pays all the blood process
in; costs when it delivers blood
to hospitals, but the military pays
most of its own processing costs.
Said Parcher: "In the next two
and a half months the people of
Marion County will have to make
up their minds either to support
the Red Cross, or support their
own blood program.' ,
Legislature Aims at
Adjournment Today
By PAUL W. HARVEY Jr.
Associated Press Writer
Driving toward hoped-for adjournament Tuesday, the Oregon
Legislature rid itself Monday of much important legislation.
Both houses cleaned up long calendars, preparing the decks
for action Tuesday on the last big-obstacle that might delay ad
journament. This measure is the House-passed bill to stop labor unions from
picketing to force workers Xo join
unions.
The Senate will vote Tuesday
morning on Senate amendments
which are far different from the
House version, and the issue
probably will end up in a Senate
House conference committee.
Most important action Monday
was passage by the Senate of $3,
297,000 program far new state
institution buildings, and $3,840,
000 far new college buildings.
The bin ffoes to the governor.
MeinwhileV the House rejected1
39 to 24 a motion liy W. f, K
Dammasch, Portland, to recall
from the ways and means com
mittee his biU to provide three
million dollars to build the pro
posed mental hospital in Port
land immediately.
Night Session
In the push toward adjourn
ment, the Senate held a three
hour session Monday night to
clear through numerous bills
coming back from the House,
many with minor amendments.
The Senate at the night session
passed six House bills liberaliz
ing workmen's compensation ben
efits. The Senate defeated, 15 to 14,
a House approved bill that would
have required the state land
board to execute 99-year leases
on state-owned tidelands when
petitioned for by abutting land
owners.
The senate also approved and
sent to the governor a bill mak
ing a driver responsible for neg
ligent homicide if the death vehicle-
had defective equipment
The house will reconvene at
10 a.m. and the senate an hour
earlier Tuesday.
Earlier in the day the Senate
sent to the House a resolution
for a 17-member interim com
mittee to Study the need for re
vising the state constitution. The
House already had voted for
Gov. Paul Patterson's idea of
having a convention to write a
new constitution, but the Senate
wouldn't go for the plan.
A bill extending the applica
tion deadline for Oregon's World
War II veterans bonus to next
Dec. 31 was passed by the House
and sent to the Governor. The
deadline was last December, but
it was extended to take care of
some veterans who filed late.
To Vote en Amendment
The House approved a propos
ed constitutional amendment to
double legislators' $600 annual
pay. The people will vote on it
in November, 1954. Earlier in the
day, the House rejected, 38 to 21,
a Senate bill to double the pay
in spite of what the constitution
says.
Both houses passed a bill ap
propriating $700,000 to con
struct two buildings near the
Capitol to house the Department
of Agriculture, the new State
Car pool, and the State Purchas
ing Division.
Measures passed by the Sen
ate and sent to the Governor
would establish a midnight to 4
a.m. for children under 18 years
old who live in rural areas, and
tax house trailers as real prop
erty. Prohibit Touting
A legislative interim commit
tee to study property taxes will
be created under a resolution
passed by the Senate.
Measures passed by the House
and sent to the Governor would
increase Supreme Court and Dis
trict Attorney salaries, prohibit
race touting, and permit seizure
of property in which abortions
are performed .
Legislative action was complet
ed by the house on a proposed
constitution amendment to re
quire more signatures to get
measures on the. ballot The per
centage required now is based on
the total vote for Supreme Court
Justice at the preceding election.
The new yardstick would be the
rote for Governor.
The House also finished work
on resolutions to create interim
feom-ilttoes- to study - pubUr wel
fare an4 -to decide whether all
the state's revenue-collecting
agencies should be combined into
a state department of revenue.
The House passed a Senate res
olution asking the Governor to
take an possible steps to . pre
serve the two educational tele
vision channels that the Federal
Communications Commission has
assigned to the state.

Allotment Cut
Notification of a $10,000 cut In
Marion County old age assist
ance funds for the next fiscal
year was received Monday by
the County Welfare Commission
from the state welfare office.
The state said the decrease
from the requested $1,110,000 to
$1,100,000 resulted because the
state has insufficient funds to
match the federal allocations.
Commission ' ' members said
they, did: cot. feel the county's
budget had been "padded" but
accepted the change in the light
of legislative developments, in
eluding tightening of the rela
