3-D Movies
Due in Salem
Early in June
Three dimension movies are
coming to Salem the first week in
June, Leo Henderson,, Salem man
ager 01 United Theaters saia Tues
day night.
"House of Wax" will be the
first 3-D picture to hit the local
screen, Henderson said.
The Grand Theater is now be
ing changed over for the new
medium which will require patrons
to wear polaroid glasses.
"If they don't wear the glasses,"
said Henderson, "all they'll see is
a blur.
He explained that the illusion of
three dimensions comes through
the viewers' eyes alone.
The switch-over to 3-D menas
a new type of silver screen for
the theater which will reflect more
light than the present one.
Also the projectors must be re
built and rigged to run at the same
time inseac of Separately as with
conventional movies. Different
lenses will be added.
Henderson predicted that the
latest movie industry product to
compete with television cinema
scope will come to Salem in
the near future.
Cinemascope employes a giant
curved screen that covers the entire
stage and three separately placed
sound systems. Glasses are not
worn by viewers.
"Cinemascope puts the audience
right in the middle of the action,"
said Henderson.
Red Cross Also

an informal meeting in Salem
Thursday of Red Cross executives
to discuss that very problem.

Hawaii, Alaska
Mis Combined
By Democrats
WASHINGTON Ufi Democrats
succeeded Tuesday in consolida
tirg the Hawaiian and Alaskan
statehood bills before the Senate
Interior Committee a maneuver
wh'ch brought a forecast of pos
sible defeat for boyi measures.
The committee voted S to 7 to
combine the bills and bold a series
of hearings on the joint legisla
tion.
Delegate .-'arrington (R-Hawaii)
called the move "an extremely
serious setback."
'It is part of a plan to defeat
stc ?hood for both Hawaii and
Alaska," he said, "and will un
doubtedly result in such a defeat
if they proceed along those
lines."
This forecast was apparently
based on the belief that the com
bined bill would have more op
position than the Hawaiian bill
alone.
But Sen. Taft of Ohio, the Sen
ate majority leader, told - news
conference he expects the Hawaii
bill to come before the Senate for
debate next -month without the
Alaskan rider.
He said he thinks that some of
the Democrats who voted solidly
to put the two bills together may
change their minds in the final
showdown.
"There are four Democrats who
say they are for Hawaiian state
hood and they certainly voted 'in
consistently today," Taft said. He
did not name them.

Salem Vet Gets
10,000th State
Veterans Loan
Frank M. Chamberlain, Salem
veteran and new home owner,
has the distinction of being the
10,000th veteran to acquire a
home under the 'state veterans"
4 per cent home and farm loan
program, the Oregon Department
of Veterans Affairs announced
Tuesday.
Chamberlain and 'bis wife, El
sie, and 'their three small boys
moved into their newly complet
ed home at 2281 Electric Ave
last week end. The home is a
three-bedroom structure with at
tached garage, and was built by
the General Realty Corp., Port
land, for $8,250. He received a
$8,000 loan.
Chamberlain is a World War
II veteran and received the Pur
ple Heart for wounds suffered
in Southern France in Septem
ber, 1944, while serving as a
bomb salvage technician. He en
tered service on April 6, 1942,
and was discharged a sergeant
Sept 28, 1945. He is a lifelong
Salem resident and currently is
employed by the Douglas McKay
Chevrolet agency.
Officials predicted the state
veterans loan program would take
a big jump starting July 21 when
the increased minimum voted by
the 1953 legislature becomes op
erative. The veterans department
under the new act will be able
to make loans up to $9,000 on
homes and as high as $15,000
for, farm loans, but not more
than 75 per cent of the appraised
value of the property.
Ernest J. Smith, loan super
visor, emphasized that the state
loan is still made; at 4 per cent
interest to qualified veterans.
Veterans of World War II and
the Korean emergency are en
titled if they were Oregon resi
dents before service or lived here
sufficiently long following dis
charge. -
Chamberlain's loan brings ' to
$42,080440 the amount borrow
ed from the department of vet
erans affairs by ex-servicemen
since the state loan program be
gan in 1945. This means an av
erage loan for the period of the
program amounts to $408.
Of the 10,000 loans approved
to date, more than ,1600 have
been paid off in f uIL The depart
ment has had to foreclose or ac
cept deeds in lieu of foreclosure
on only 32 properties so far.

had searched every area not com
pletely blocked by debris and
found nothing.
Battle "for Hours
Wearv hundreds who had hattld
for hours in frenzied desperation to
cue an entrance into the basement
