Valley's first snowstorm of the
Weather What It Is." i
This is the first annual meeting
of the Mt. Angel group, and in
spite of the weather being what it
was. more than 75 folk turned -out.
Sharp said in closing that "every
farmer in the Willamette Valley
will be irrigating before very many
years, and that they won't be doing
this from wells, but from stored
water"
Hollis Ottsway, secretary of the
district, in. his annual report,
showed that there are 504 farms
with an acreage of 33,000 in the.
Mt. Angel district at the end of the
first eight months. Approximately
5.900 acres in the area had actual
ly been given a soil survey since
last Novembef. Drainage survey
on Hauffman Bottom, one of the
big projects of the district, will be
completed in 1954. Ottaway said.
Two district tours .were being
planned for the year with fertility
trials to be established next year.
In order to maintain the pres
ent standard of living, the United
States needs 2V4 acres per capita
for food production. At present
there are a little less than three
acres, .and at the present rate of
population increase, there will be
less than the lxk needed by 1970,
Melvm Rigdon, soil conservation-
..jTrthe ML Tnge foffice
told
the group, as he outlined the work
of the office and district.
At a brief business session, Wil
liam Sehwarz was re-elected to
succeed himself as director. Hold

Oklahoma Painter Escapes
wo
napers
, EUGENE () A Texas house'
painter called state police Friday
and told them he had been kid
naped last Saturday in Oklahoma
by two men and forced to drive
them here.
Eight minutes later a city pa
trolman arrested wo men identi
fied by the painter, Noble Howard,
45, Odessa, Texas, as his kidnap
ers. They were in Howard's car.
They told police thief Ted Brown
they were Leonard Sylvester Good
night, 44, Indianapolis, Ind., and
Fred Winchester. 19, Chickasha,
Okla., and that they had escaped
from a state prison work gang
outside McAlester, Okla., Jan. 4.
They were held on vagrancy
charges. FBI agents and city and
state police questioned them.
Brown quoted Goodnight as say
ing he had been serving a "75-
Jyear sentence for armed robbery"
land Winchester as saying he was
doing 18 years for armed robbery.
At the state penitentiary at Mc
Alester, deputy warden H. C Mc
Cloud confirmed the men's stories
that they escaped from a work
gang. He said they slipped off
from the guard Jan. 4, fleeing
through a ditch. I
"Apparently they had been hid
ing nearby all the time," McCloud
said.
Congress Not
Too
Of Pay Raise
By ED CREAGH
WASHINGTON Off Congress
eyed hungrily Friday an officially
proposed 12,500 -a-year pay raise
for every member. But election
year fears of what the folks back
home might think raised doubt
whether the lawmakers would vote
themselves that much.
A non-partisan 18-member com
mission reported Friday morning
that senators and House members
have been "grossly underpaid" for
a long time and should raise their
own salaries from $15,000 to 527,-
soo.
The commission, headed by
Philadelphia lawyer Bernard Seg
al, also proposed more money for
other government officials:
1. $40,000 salaries for the vice
president and the speaker of the
House, plus "adequate" expense
funds. They now get $30,000 sal
aries and $10,000 expense ac
counts, i
2. $39,300 fori associate justices
of the Supreme; Court a $14,500
increase. The chief justice, who
now gets $23,500, would be raised
to $40,000.
3. $27,500 for U. S. District
judges, who now get $15,000, with
comparable increases for other
federal jurists.

terested in booking up with a Chan
nel 20 station at Eugene.
