SILVERTON Formation of a Silverton Union High School

Several county and city mea
sures are being submitted to vot
ers at the time of the primary
election on May 21st. Three of the
city measures call for fresh bond
issues. One of the county mea
sures calls for a special tax levy
of two mills and a continuing levy
of one-half mill for a five-year
period. I think we should examine
proposals for increasing our debt
and taxes with great care lest we
pile too heavy a burden on prop
erty. Already the tax levy in Sa
lem has reached 88 mills (1953
rate', the school necessities are
not getting fewer, and there re
mains the imminent possibility
of a levy on property for state
purposes within the next biennium.
At the same time each proposal
should be considered on its merits.
Let us take a look at the charter
amendments on the City of Sa
lem ballot.
Measure No. 51 would allow the
city council to lease municipal
airport property not presently
needed for that purpose for ler
iods longer than five years which
Is the time limit in the present
charter. The idea behind this
seems to be to let the city lease
out some of the land at the air
port. The merit of this is not ap
parent. Five years is a long
enough term for leasing any land
out there. If a longer term lease
is desired or required there is
plenty of other property available.
The citv should not be in competi
tion with private owners of land
for any permanent non-airport in
stallations. A negative vote is
recommended on No. 51.
The next proposed amendment,
No. 52. is to authorize the city to

Army to Check
Military Duty
Of Athletes
WASHINGTON (A Rep. Hess
(R-Ohio) said Monday the Army
has notified him that hereafter it
intends to monitor the service ca
reers of inducted professional ath
letes to guard against "special as
signments." Hess is chairman of a House
armed services subcommittee now
investigating charges that star ath
letes are being "coddled" in the
Army by escaping military duties
to continue their sports careers.
"I am sure." Hess said in a
statement, "that some of the infor
mation which the Army has dis
covered prompted the action" to
start checking on the athletes' mil
itary assignaments. He said the
Army decision was forwarded to
him Monday.
Nevertheless, Hess said his sub
committee intends to begin public
hearings Wednesday on schedule
to explore the service records of
10 star athletes, including New
York Yankee pitcher Edward C.
(Whitey) Ford and former welter
weight boxing champion Ray Rob
inson. He said the athletes themselves
are not under scrutiny and will
not be asked to testify.
The first ten whose service rec
ords will be studied also include:
Edward J. and John T. O'Brien,
college basketball twins now with
the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Anthropology
Expert, Dies
CAMBRIDGE. Mass. tfl Har
vard University Prof. Earnest A.
Hooton, one of the world's outstand
ing anthropologists, died unexpect
edly Monday night at his home.
He was 67.
The controversial scientists, noted
for his pungent comments on man
kind, died of a heart attack about
a half hour after he returned
home from giving two lectures to
his Harvard classes.
A native of Clemansville, Wis.,
and son of a Methodist minister,
Hooton had been chairman of the
department of anthropology at Har
vard since the early 1930s. Under
his guidance the department be
came one of the best in the world.
'Hootonismi'
His salty observations on the hu
man race known as "Hootonisms"
to other scientists once led to a
demand for a Massachusetts leg
islative probe of "this teaching of
inhuman doctrines, contrary to the
spirit of American institutions."
Hooton. whose best known writ
ings were titled "Up From The
Apes, "Apes, Men and Morons,
and "Why Men Behave Like
Apes and Vice Versa," held that
man was on the road back to the
jungle unless he changed his ways.
Gadgets Best Men
"Gadgets and machines are get
ting better and better," he said re
peatedly, "while man is getting
worse and worse."
An advocate of birth control,
sterilization of the insane, diseased
and criminal element, he preached
that a "biological purge" was the
essential prerequisite for the soc
al and spiritual salvation of the
human race."
His sense of humor aided in
making his anthropolgy courses
among the most popular with Har
vard and Radcliffe students. He
lectured often before a desk cov
ered with human skulls.
Frost Blamed
As Birds Die
At LaGrande
VLA GRANDE. Ore. ( Thou
sands of birds were found dead in
this Eastern Oregon city Monday.
A weekend frost drew the tenta
tive blame.
The bodies of the robins, spar
rows and other native birds which
were killed were found on lawns
and streets throughout the city.
Burns T. Bailey, county agricul
tural agent, and Dr. Ernest Ander
son, head of the biology depart'
ment at Eastern Oregon College
of Education, said the birds prob
ably had eaten vegetable matter
frozen in the weekend frost.
They explained that the freezing
of vegetable matter sometimes
creates an acid that poisons birds.
The malady, whatever it was,
did not claim all the birds here.
There were many survivors.

Randall said the dinner house
will be of ranch-style construc

and will be 90 by 50 feet in size
with full basement A seafood bar
and dancing area are planned.
Randall said the outdoor faci
lities will cater to groups and

delicatessen style to those who
wish to use the patio areas, he
said.
Randall opened the Golden

New Attack at

HANOI. Indochina (J1 The
French High Command announced
early Tuesday Red - led Vietminh
forces besieging Dien Bien Phu
have launched another heavy as
sault on a key position on the west
side of the battered bastion.
The announcement came on the
heels of reports that the rebels
were rushine up fresh troops to
the French fortress after calling
off their third heavy and sustained
assault on the shrunken defenses.
Hundreds of Molotov trucks were
spotted moving into the encircling
hills Monday night, their head
lights gleaming.
The Red-led Vietminh troops un
accountably halted their third big
do - or - die attack Sunday night,
after making savage headway in
to the encircling barbed strong
points. They overran three strong
points and part of a fourth and
severely shriveled up the ring of
defenses surrounding Brig. Gen.
Christian de Castries' central
headquarters.
(A military spokesman in Paris
said three outposts at the isolated
strongpoint of Isabell, south of
the fortress heart, were lost in
the attacks of the night of May 1-2.
This was the fourth strongpoint
which was partically overrun.
(The spokesman said another
post was lost but retaken by coun
terattack. The center of resist
ance of Isabelle is entirely in our
hands," the spokesman said.)
Vote Defeats
Coiinty Rural
School Budget
Defeat of the Marion County
rural school budget appeared cer
tain Monday nighf on the basis
of 18 school districts reporting
to The Statesman.
Returns from approximately
one-fourth of the districts involv
ed showed 493 votes against the
budget and 98 in favor.
Voting was light in Keizer and
other larger districts which made
a concerted effort to win approval
for the budget in previous years.
Most smaller districts have con
sistently opposed the county
budget
The totals do not include votes
cast at Mt. Angel where some 400
voters went to the polls, primarily
to vote on the Silverton Union
High School proposal. The high
school ballots were being counted
first. ML Angel has voted over
whelmingly against the school
budget in the past.
At stake Monday night was the
$1,013,968 portion of the school
budget in excess of the 6 per
cent limitation. The total budget
was 1.251,536.
Each iural district will vote on
a separate budget if defeat of
the county budget is confirmed.

Salaries of 6
City Employes
By ROBERT E. GANGWARE
City Editor. The Statesman
Salaries were raised for five city
library employes and the airport
manager Monday night as the City
Budget Committee approved 12 of
the 17 departments of the city
budget for th coming year.
A few minor cuts were ordered
but, in general, the committee
isn't finding much to change in
the city manager's recommended
$2M million budget and his budget
draft shows little change over the
current year's operations.
The big police and fire depart
ments' budgets were established
at last night's meeting in City
Hall, and new budget committee
members were briefed in the an
nual 4-H Clubs budget controversy
and the annual complications over
the health department budget in
which the city sha-es.
In approving th. manager's air
port budget of $16,980, the com
mittee accepted a $124 raise in
the airjxrt manager's salary.
Since this position is combined
with that of purchasing agent, the
salary will now be $5,000 a year
for Charles A. Barclay who holds
both titles.
Library salary increases adding
$1,032 to the city manager's an
nual budget included raises from
$297 to $310 a month for the cata
loger assistant librarian; $225 to
$250 for assistant circulation Ji
brarian ( formerly chief desk as
sistant); $208 to $225 for desk as
sistants.
Librarian Hugh Morrow told the
committee salaries in his depart
ment were low enough that vacan
cies are hard to till. He said
librar-' salaries started somewhat
lower than other departments' and
the gap had widened since most
city salary boosts of the past dec
ade had been percentage increas
es.

he spoke for the three Democrats
on the seven-member subcommit

that all six principals, having been

This conclusion was reached,
Symington said, after "most seri
ous consideration" had been given
to the proposal to restrict further
testimony to "only two of the prin
cipals." The two-witness proposal was
advanced by Joseph N. Welch, spe
cial counsel to the Army in the

Obstacles to !
Peace Parley!
Overcome
By LYNN HEINZERLING
GENEVA (ff The antagonists
in the bitter jungle war of Indo
china probably will face each; oth
er across a Geneva conferences ta
ble within the next three days, it
was believed Monday. :
Official French sources said the
two most imposing obstacles tit the
peace parley had been removed.
The Russians agreed to sen the
invitation to the Communist - led
Vietminh rebels and the Vietna
mese formally agreed to meet
their enemies provided no recog
nition of the Vietminh regime as
a state was implied.
The Russian invitation will be
countersigned by Red China's For
eign Minister Chou En-Lay the
French said, but that is a Mace-
saving gesture granted to Chou by
me soviet union.
The Western, and particularly
UJS. insistence that Red thina
cound not be recognized as in in
viting power at this conference was
respected.
A Soviet source said Monday the
Vietminh delegation would be head
ed by the new foreign minister of
Vietminh, Pham Van Don.
The source said Soviet Foreign
Minister V. M. Molotov woujd pro
pose that India, Burma, Thailand
and Indonesia also be invited to
the Indochina talks. 5
The possible invitation of other
countries is to be the first item
on the agenda of the nin-party
conference. Molotov, however, is
not likely to insist on this-point,
the source added.
The United States is anxious to
keep the conference limited to as
few participants as possible.
Vietnamese Foreign Minister Ng
uyen Quoc Dinh was scheduled to
leave for Paris Monday night by
train for last minute consultations
with Prince Buu Loc, preSnier of
the war-torn Indochinese tate of
Viet Nam. It is understood the
leader of the Vietnamesa- peace
delegation has not been , selected.
