UCDCEiDS The Salem Community Council, a voluntary organization interest ed in social betterment, plans a campaign to obtain a juvenile de tention home for Marion County. That object will be fully achieved in the new county court house where quarters for "juve niles are being provided which are entirely separate from the county jail. There will be no mingling of juveniles with adults. When the courthouse was be ing planned the architects con sulted with the county author ities responsible for care of juve niles, and made every effort to comply with their recommenda tions. After the plans were com pleted the idea of a. separate juvenile home was advanced. This is now being revived. It seems to me the county should collect dividends on its courthouse investment before launching another project In fact the voters are not likely to ap prove abandoning brand new quarters at the courthouse for some new institution to serve a similar need. It is true that a detached juve nile home is becoming the style. Multnomah county has one; so does Lane county.

' Animal Crackers By WARREN COOORICH Morse to Campaign For Demos in 1954 PORTLAND (JP) Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon, a former Republican, told Democrats here Friday night that they would find him campaigning for them in 1954. : Morse was given a standing ovation by more than 700 who at- ovation by more than 700 who at tended the Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner. In his talk, Morse continued his bitter denunciation of the Eisen hower administration. He said In terior Secretary McKay was wrong in withdrawing administration sup port for a proposed government built dam at Hells Canyon. Says NW Losing Morse, who bolted the Republi can Party during the last : presi dential election and who now calls himself an Independent, said Ore-, gon is threatened with loss of an industrial advantage it originally gained through cheap public pow er. "Our prospects for the develop ment of the maximum power po tential of our streams under Eisen hower and McKay are dim as dim as the illumination during last winter's brownout, which was a danger signal." he said. "Similar signals of economic distress were ignored by the Re publicans in the 1920s," he added. Raps Power Cuts He said that the administration is halting work on partially con structed electrical transmission lines such as the 160-mile line to Klamath Falls. Morse said that this might benefit private utilities. "At the rate things are going, I wouldn't be surprised if Copco (California Oregon Power Co.) seeks to build the Klamath line or the Idaho Power Co. takes over La Grande the Baker line which they opposed as unfeasible eco nomically." Happy Oat of GOP He urged his audience to bring an end to the Eisenhower con servation program which he said was "conservation of sage brush in Eastern Oregon and Idaho." State Democratic Chairman Howard Morgan, in introducing Morse, said "our big effort now is to make our party such that men like Senator Morse can sup port it and are proud to support it." In an interview before the din ner, Morse said he was "well rid" of Oregon Republican leaders who once supported him. Earlier in the day Morse ap peared on- a radio panel discus sion. "On ' the Record." He re peated his statement that the As sociated Press had not given him accurate coverage. Tot Rescued From Well LEEDEY.
