Oveross Trial Draws
Crowd of Spectators
By VINTTA HOWARD
Staff Writer, The Statesman
As door bailiff during the Cas
per Oveross first degree murder
trial. Bill Barlow, Willamette
University law student, has some
thing many courtroom spectators
must have envied since the trial
began June 21 he has a good
seat for every day of what prom
ises to be Marion -County's
4engthiest trial in recent history.
It's Barlow's job to handle the
standing-room only crowds which
have been packing Circuit Judge
George - R. Duncan's courtroom
daily since opening day.
Age Limit
The crowds have been so large,
in fact, that Judge Duncan has
set an age limit for admittance.
Only those over 15 years old can
attend.
"Twicer Barlow said, Tve
had to turn away the nine-year-
Nurses' Aide
Course Due
A free course, designed to
train girls and women to become
nurses' aides, will start July 11
at Salem Memorial Hospital.
This course," said Mrs. Adam
Lefor, supervisor of nurses, "will
' stress basic training procedure.
It will be held three times a
week for three hours each ses
sion. Applicants need not have
had any previous nursing or hos
pital experience.
Three-fourths of the' members
. in previous classes are now em
ployed as nurses' aides at the
hospital. Others use the knowl
edge gained for home nursing.
No obligation to work is implied
,in the training course.
The courses are not only for
women who want to make extra
money working as their full- or
part-time aides, but -also for
young girls who are interested
in professional nursing as
career. , .
Applicants may contact the
hospital any time after July 5 to
register.
Salem, along with all other
sections of the United States, is
experiencing a shortage of nurses
and nurses' aides, local hospital
.officials say.
An appeal has gone out to re
tired nurses in this area to make
themselves available for either
part-time or-full-time nursing.

Illegal Liquor
Charge Facing
Three Youths
Two 17-vear-oId boys and 19-
year-old Edward Tarr, all of Al
bany, were charged with illegal
possession of intoxicating liquor
early Sunday when Salem police
, halted a car on South Commer
cial for having expired license
plates. ' -'
Officers said several bottles o
beer were in the vehicle. Tarr
paid $25 bail, the others $35 bail
on the charge.

old son of one of the attorneys
on the case."
The first few days, he said,
weren't too bad as far as the
crowd was, concerned. But the
day they started calling wit
nesses, spectators were packed in
the hallway.
"I couldn't even get both
courtroom doors open- because
they started pushing and shoving
to get in just as soon as I opened
one door, he said Saturday.
Regular Attendera .'
During the put 10 days of the
trial, Barlow has spotted many
regular attendera. In fact, two
gray-haired ladies occupy the
same seats nearly every day. One
arrives before the doors ' open
each morning and never leaves,
even during a recess, until about
10 minutes before the day's ses
sion ends.
One old gentleman who arrives
late each day has yet to hear any
of the trial He comes in, looks
around, observes that there are
no seats and stomps back out
with the comment, "I can't hear
what they say anyhow!"
During the first few days of
the trial one of the door bailiffs
biggest headaches was separating
ine spectators irom tne wit
nesses, who are not allowed in
side the courtroom except while
testifying. One witness, how
ever, got by him and Barlow had
to take him out of the courtroom,
much to the witness' annoyance.
Bored Witness
Another witness got bored just
waiting In the hallway to be
called. When his turn finallv
came to testify, " Barlow found
him riding up and down in the
elevator.
Most of the spectators. Barlow
said, appear to be retired elderly
people with nothing else to do
but listen to the testimony.
Many; of course, come from Sil-
verton where both Oveross and
Ervin Kaser, the man Oveross is
accused of murdering last Feb
ruary, are well-known.
Some of the people really get
carried away in iheir Interest in
uie iriai.
The other day, Barlow said, a
man stopped by his chair on the
way out and whispered. "I sure
hope nothing much happens this
afternoon, I've got to go to the
dentist, but 111 be back just as
soon as he's finished with me."
By LTLLIE L. MADSEN
Farm Editor, The Statesmaa
When the final national reports
oa the wheat referendum came in
at the close of the week, they show
ed that wheat quotas passed by a
considerably bigger margin than
expected.
Wheat growers favored market
ing quotas by a national average
of almost 3'i to 1 in the referen
dum. North Dakota, with one-fifth
of the total votes cast n the na
tion, voted 20 to J in favor of
quotas, uregon was siignuy below
the national average, as 3 to 1 in
favor. Only four of the smaller
wheat states voted against quotas,
while nine more aproved by less
than the 2 to 1 majority necessary
on a national level. Only about a
third of the farmers eligible across
the country bothered to go to the
wheat polls to vote.
The national average support
rate has been announced at 2
cents higher than the minimum
rate announced last year ... or
$2.08 a bushel. The raise, just an
nounced July 1, was made pos
sible by an increase in the parity
price of wheat as of June 15. The
minimum terminal support rates
will also be increased by 2 cents a
bushel.
Discount Plan
More big wheat news reported
since the referendum is the an
nouncement of a proposed discount
plan for low quality varieties. Sec
retary of Agriculture. Ezra Benson,
is trying to work out an acceptable
plan for discounting the support
rate of varieties suitable mainly
for feed, be says. He adds that
be hopes this will improve the
quality of the wheat crop. He has
promised that discount varieties
would be announced in plenty of
tune before planting this fall.
Other proposals to improve the
wheat program are also, being con
sidered. - Exempting growers from
marketing penalties if all wheat is
used for feed or seed on the farm
where it is grown, is one of the
proposals which will particularly
interest Willamette Valley fanners.
Export Pro cram
The surplus export program is
also getting more attention lately,
Congressmen are considering up-
ping USDA's selling authority un
der the surplus disposal law to $1
billion, which is a half billion dol
lars more than it is now. Efforts to
take some of the red tape out of
the program are also reported
Commitments for the surplus ex
port program, so far include N 46
million bushels of wheat. Most of
this is yet to be shipped although
small amounts were shipped be
fore' July 1.
Increased consumption of Ore
gon wheat is also being encourag
ed, tt has taken four years of con
stant pushing by all wheat com
missions and committees, to get
a Northwest manufacturer convinc
ed that real opportunities exist
for this Oregon wheat in processed
form. Now a processed wheat, put
out by Fisher- Flouring Mills, has
just been introduced to the market
and is being endorsed by the Ore
gon Wheat Growers League.

Proposed Closure of Housing
Unit Draws Tenants' Protest

Births
By CONRAD PRANGE
Staff Writer, The Statesmaa
Some 61 families now at the
Salem Veterans Housing Colony
may have to move soon, and most
of them say they don't know
where to go.
The local Housing Authority,
which operates the project origi
nally started as a veterans' emer
gency program, hfs ordered all
tenants to ' vacate by Sept. 1.
Plans are to tear down the build
ings and to dissolve the project
located in Southeast Salem around
16tli and Cross Sts.
Colony residents have protested
the proposed closure - and have
taken the matter up with city au
thorities. Nobody has rescinded
the vacation order, though.
Large Families "
"Most of these families have
four or five kids and one has
nine," says Robert H. Niemeyer,
project manager. "Consequently
they don't want to pay more than
$40 or $50 per month rent."
Niemeyer said he, personally.

in price or space'! for his tenants.

He estimated about half the
heads of the 61 families at the
project are unemployed. This in
cludes several elderly couples.
Some families are on welfare rolls,
said Niemeyer.
