The point in question, long a controversy, concerns the pay dif ferential between firemen and po licemen in which the firemen get less on the basis of the higher cost of their pension system. The differential was set at $20 in 1949. A later survey .of costs and salaries led to a change un der which the differential was reduced to $12 inApril, 1952. Approve Request In other business at the City Hall session Monday night, the Council voted 5-3 in favor of va cating a never-used North Salem street as requested by . Howard Olsen who is developing a re cently annexed property on the east tside of the Pacific Highway near north city limits. Olsen told the Council the street in question, paralleling and abutting the highway for 500 feet, was intended to be a pri vatee street but was marked on the plat as a dedicated street He said the street was necessary to develop business property be cause there is only limited access to the highway in the area. "Benefit Fee Big question was over the amount of the "benefit fee" the city could charge for the vaca tion. Officials had set the fee at $6,885, based on selling price of Olsen's adjacent property. Mayor Loucks advocated grant ing the vacation without charge because "we're not in the busi ness of profiting in real estate, here's a street never used and at best tit would be an abnormal city street" Alderman David O- Hara sugested the fee be changed to $100, and his plan was adopted by the Council Street Vacation The Council introduced bills to vacate without charge one block of Gaines Street and part of an alley north of Grant School grounds where Salem School Dis trict plans a new building and needs more space for playground purposes. The Council passed a bill per mitting curb sidewalks on Cross between Davidson and Winter Streets. Another ordinance given final approval provides a five year franchise for Southern Pa cific's Second Street spur track in West Salem. In discussion of the one-way street grid as finally approved (story on page 1), City Manager J. L. Franzen confirmed that mak ing Winter Street one-way would mean the city could no longer barricade Winter between Che meketa and Center Streets, as now done at certain hours to al low play space for St Joseph's Catholic School children. 236 Register For 19 Adult Night Classes Nineteen adult education class se got underway Monday evening at Salem High School and attract ed more than 236 registrants.

Not included in Monday's figure were apprentice school students, he said. Two classes were dropped Mon day for lack of enrollment They were the flower arrangement class and the Parent-Child Rela tionship class (afternoon group). Still retained is the morning and evening class of Parent-Child Re lationship. "Homemaking classes seem to have attracted the widest atten tion of adults," Porter explained, "and may necessitate additional instruction times," Closed to fur ther enrollment after Monday's turnout was the lampshade mak ing class. Also, described as ex ceedingly popular is the class in drawing nd sketching.

Making the presenta tion was Arthur Ireland, Forest Grove, past president of the Or egon Dairyman's association, "No one realizes better than the past presidents of this assoc iation what Morse has done for the group," Ireland said in mak ing the presentation. "I haven't missed a meeting in 25 years and during aU of that time Morse served as secretary, directing the program and giving the presi dents who came and went, con fidence in their work." Given Congratulations "There's a void at the college in our department of which we are aU conscious. We have come to depend upon Morse and we do not like to think of going ahead without him," Frank Ballard, as sistant director qf agriculture at the college told the group. He added that "while Morse won't be on the payroll, we'll continue to use him, and I personally con gratulate him upon the service he has done for Oregon agricul ture."

Warren Said Likely Choice For Court Snot WASHINGTON W The belief grew in Washington Monday night that California's Governor Earl Warren has been tapped by Presi dent Eisenhower for the U. S. Su preme Court if he wants the job. It was still an official mystery, but the flurry of week-end confer ences at Sacramento and the White House seemed to point up the wide ly held opinion that Warren will be named either chief justice or associate justice. The court is scheduled to con vene for its fall term next Mon day. If the President wants a full court sitting for the start of the year's business, he must act this week. Warren's availability has been more or less taken for granted ever since he announced earlier this year he would not seek reelec tion in California. Attorney General Brownell. meanwhile, kept a tight lid on the nature of his hurry-up trip to the West Coast Saturday to confer with Warren.

A procession of Salem citizens spoke up for changes in a pro posed new city zoning code Mon day night as the City Council gave the legislation a public hear ing. But none of the major prin ciples of the new zoning . plan came under attack, and neither Mayor Alfred W. Loucks nor Zoning Commissioner Robert Stanley who headed the revision committee, had reports of any such opposition to bring before the Council. In fact, both officials said after the hearing they have come to feel that the new code is generally accepted in Salem. The objections Monday night at the City Hall hearing, like the citizens' opinions heard at many zoning meetings in recent months, concerned the particular zone classification given indiv idual properties or small neigh borhoods. Aldermen promised to give all suggestions their considera tion, but some members indicat ed they would not like to act without hearing from others in a given neighborhood not touched on In previous hearings. Zoning Chairman W. W. Rose braugh and Mayor Loucks decid ed that next step in the zone leg islation would be a joint meeting of zoners and aldermen Oct. 12 to go over the final appeals. The new code established many new zone categories so that transitions are more gradual in the use of property allowed under the zoning. Also incorpor ated in the code are required off street parking, minimum lot sizes, vision clearance, street set backs and many other features. YOSHTDA TO VISIT U. S.

The Council will hold -a public hearing Oct 13 on an anti-smog ordinance. Robert R. -McKean. manager of the Columbia Empire Industries, has said industrialists will oppose the ordinance on the ground that smog control is a job for the state, not for the city. Curtis M.
