i (Sec. I) Statesman, Salem, Ore Sunday. Sept 20. 1959 Market Street Improvement Plan Attracts Wide Interest Salem city administration's plan for widening Market Street east of 21st has attracted considerable interest since it won ap proval of the City Council last week. . ' Complaints about the condition of Market Street near east city limits had been heard frequently. The area east of 21st Street had a narrower street improvement at the time it was annexed to the city several years ago. Meanwhile, use of .Market Street has increased and even greater traffic is expected when the bypass highway is completed, as Market Street will be one of three roads connecting directly with it . , , ' Several ways of improving the 600-foot stretch of Market Street were open to the city, but the Council at City Manager J. L. Frsnzen's suggestion decided to make it a permanent-type im provement in which the city and the property owners would share costs. This means the work can't be done until next spring and in the meantime minor patching and re pairs will be the only attention given the street The complete project next spring is estimated to cost $10,433 for a. full 2 -inch asphalt sur face, curbs and widening from the present 16 feet to 44 feet The city's share of the cost would be $2,696 plus paving costs at intersections. This is under the formula that where the city con sider! such an improvement nec essary it can charge the property owners for only 30 feet of the improvement width. The city pays the rest If the city had decided to widen the road paving onlv to 22 feet and foot the bill itself, it would have cost $2,234 and would have left the present paved part still a regular repair problem. LSU Whips Texas BATON ROUGE. La. An alert and aggressive Louisiana State University football team broke Texas' phenomenal opening day record with a 20-7 upset vic tory Saturday night.

Capitol St. Wells told first aidmen that he and a friend were shooting at a target on the bank of the Willa mette River about five miles west of Salem.

We Give S1H Green Stamps CAPITAL DRUG STORE 405 State St. at Liberty 20-Year BPA Contracts Get Sharp Rebuke KLAMATH FALLSJV The new, long - term Bonneville contracts with private utilities "doom the Northwest of industrial impo tence," a public power spokes man told the Oregon CIO conven tion here Saturday. Albert C. Ullman, chairman of the Idaho-Oregon Hells Canyon As sociation, told union delegates: Interior Secretary "McKay has said there will be a drastic limita tion on new power and what there is will be allotted to private utili ties. The poeple of the Pacifio Northwest should rise up in right eous wrath at this political and economic sell-out of the region. "Boiling it all down, McKay says in effect that it is acceptable fed eral policy to put private toll sta tions on the highways ot federally generated power. Three private power companies Friday signed contracts in Port land calling for Bonneville to de liver eventually 1 million kilo watts of power to the private firms, while committing Bonne ville to make no large deliveries of power to new industry. Ullman said sale of Bonneville power directly to industry is vi tal if the region is to expand. Ullman also referred to the Mc Kay policy of not supporting a pro posed federal dam in Hells Canyon of the Snake River. "Give the Snake River to private monopoly and watch the high Snake Valley rates flow down steam power market. No system of cheap rates can be maintained without full storage development, integrated operation and federal transmission." In an indication of goodwill be tween the AFL and CIO. an AFL official appeared at the conven tion for the first time. He was President J. D. McDon ald of the State Federation of Lab or, who accepted an invitation ex tended by George George Brown, state CIO secretary. Brown earlier had spoken at the state AFL con vention .

Warden Clarence T. Gladden said Saturday that Wright was "a very lucky boy" to have made his escape from the guard super vised crew. "Apparently Wright hid in the brush and undergrowth while searchers probed for him and then took off when the trail got cool,' the warden explained. The warden expressed surprise that Wright made a break for freedom from the annex crew, "because he didnt. have much time to do." The escapee was serving three years for robbery.

Morse Labels Administration 'Utter Failure' MIAMI, Fla. in Sen. Wayne Morse called the Eisenhower ad ministration "a country club gov ernment" Saturday and said it was imperiling the nation by reducing ai power. the Republican Party during last year's- general election campaign, declared in an interview that Pres- ! ident Eisenhower "has never been i a competent authority on air pow- Morse flew here under the aus pices of the Israel Bond Organiza tion for an address at Yom Kippur services at the Coral Gables Jew ish Center. He will return to Wash ington Sunday. 'Complete Failure He described the Republican ad ministration as "a complete fail ure" and "a double-talking, double-dealing government which has no feeling or regard for the little man." Morse said the odds were all in favor of the Democrats winning control of both houses of Congress next year. 'I think the administration has already lost the labor vote and the farm vote, and on its record it deserves to lose both these votes." he said. 'Political Hypocrisy' "It doesn't make any difference what issue one touches under the Eisenhower administration, politi cal hypocrisy oozes out." Morse said he was "astonished that the Republicans do not seem to have learned a single econom ic lesson since they plunged the in the depression of the late twen ties and the early thirties. ' "The parallel between the eco nomic policies of the Eisenhower administration and of the Harding-Coolidge-Hoover political fiasco is remarkable."

J HOWELL - EDWARDS FUNERAL HOME 545 N. Cap Hoi Across from Seers GSH DUNSFOLD, England UV-Squad-ron leader Neville Duke, a shy, balding man, who Is often In a hurry, clamed another jet record for Britain Saturday. He jockeyed a crimson swept wing fighter through stormy skies around a 100-kilometer (62.14-mile) closed circuit course in the quiet Surrey countryside at a speed un officially clocked as 709.2 miles an hour. If accepted by the International Aeronautic Federation, this will stand as a world record, bettering the still unofficial mark of 690.111 miles an hour set by U.S. Brig. Gen. J. S. Holtoner in an F86D Sabrejet Sept. 2. The present official record was set by Jacqueline Cochran, famed American aviatrix, last June. It is 652.552 miles an hour, set in a Canadian-built F86E. Duke's plane is a specially modi fied version of the Hawker Hunter, which has super-priority for pro duction for the RAF and is ex pected to begin service in Squad ron numbers soon. The 31-year-old RAF officer braved winds and low clouds for the closed circuit test. The performance was relatively conservative for Duke. Earlier this month, he laid claim to the the world's three kilometer (1.7 mile) straightaway speed mark with an unofficial clocking of 727.6 miles an hour. This speed is still awaiting official confirmation. The present official record is 715.69 an hour, set by U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. W. P. Barns last July over the Salton Sea beach in California. Duke flew at about 500 feet. He said he knew he had broken the closed circuit mark after complet ing the triangular flight. He did a couple of triumphant rolls before he landed. Next week Duke will take the Hawker Hunter to the Libyan des ert in North Africa and fly in com petition against the plane of a ri val company, Vickers Armstrong's Supermarine Swift, in an attempt to set a still higher straightaway speed record. The hot, dry desert air is considered especially favor able for setting speed records. Redmond Official Gets Hospital Post REDMOND 0 Fred W.

Ofl Secretary of Agriculture Benson told an at tentive but comparatively quiet au dience of farmers Saturday that the administration would do every thing in its power to "enhance farm prices in 1953-54 with the imple ments at hand." The secretary said that President Eisenhower and he were deter mined to do all within their power to protect and improve the living standards of farm people. A crowd estimated at 68,000 by Edward Baker, secretary of the Soil Conservation Day and National Plowing Matches, sat on the ground and stood in the natural arophi, thetre to hear the secretary's ad dress which he previously had de scribed as "one of the most im portant" he had ever made. There had been rumors of a pos sible disturbance to be created by disgrunted farmers opposed to the administration's farm policy but they failed to develop. Dzea Deputies The Eau Claire sheriff had a doz en deputies around the speaker's platform which was separated from the crowd by snow fence and heavy wire. They were not needed. Earlier, at a news conference, Benson said that he would offer "no Benson plan" as a cure-all for agricultural ills but would work closely with farm groups and agri culture leaders to provide a sound farm program that would be fair to all. Not Quitting The secretary reiterated that he had no intention of quitting. "I am part of the Eisenhower team," he said in answer to a ques tion. "And as long as I feel I can make a contribution I shall stay on the team." Bensen struck back at Demo crats who criticized GOP farm poli cies at a Chicago meeting this week. He charged that "the pre ceding administration" had created some of the problems now faced by American agriculture. Drop Halted The secretary said the Republi can administration had succeeded in "halting a deep drop in farm prices which already was under way when we took office," Picket Patrols Baker PT&T i ' , x . .. . . BAKER (A A picket appeared at the Pacific Telephone and Tele graph Co.' office here Saturday, but switchboard service was main tained. The picket's sign said there would be a onion meeting for the day. Manager M. A. Maguire said some operators stayed off the Job. but others turned up and with supervisory employes kept service going. The CIO Communications Work ers have been in dispute with the company over deadlocked negotia tions in Portland. Union members here said the picketing was planned only for the one day.

BUSINESSMAN OF THE WEEK t , Pv Nickel plating was developed on a commercial basis about 1870. Like many another back-easterner, George A. Coen heeded the advice of old Horace Greeley and headed out West He abandoned the comparative security of 9Vi years seniority at Minnesota Mining it Manufacturing company's home plant at St Paul (the Scotch Tape company) and chose the big beautiful Oregon country as his new home. Needless to say, George is as completely sold on this part of the land as he is on Marckx Bakery products, which he sells as an inde pendent Marckx retail distributor. . George was born in the town of Hubbard, in the Hawkeye state, Iowa. He was educated and married in Nashua, Iowa. Shortly there after, they moved to St Paul, where he became affiliated with the 3-M company. After arriving here at Salem recently,, they decided that this was the place to really enjoy life. They are now buying a home and three of their four sons are attending Salem schools. George is an energetic up-and-coming businessman, and, like other Marckx retail distributors, owns the equipment he uses and is his own boss. He enjoys his occupation and believes in giving his customers (whom he regards as his personal friends) the best serv ice possible for anyone to deliver. Pd.
