2 $. 1) Statesman, Satan, Story of 'Battles In Small SAN MARINO w - The story of America was being told in the simple mountainside homes of San JIarino Friday night in a dramatic effort to oust the only Communist government in Western Europe. Since 1945 the coalition of Com munists and Communist - bossed Socialists- have controlled this old est and smallest republic in the world. On Sunday most of the 7,311 Court Hears Rail Service tut Argument , (Story also on page 1) -' Arguments, on whether the Portland Traction Company can reduce its service between Port land and Oregon City consumed the better part of six hours Fri day in Marion County Circuit Court before Judge Val D. Sloper. The case involved attorneys from the Public Utilities Com mission which issued an ( order that the service must be contin ued on the present basis pend ing an investigation and hearing by Commissioner Charles H. Heltzel. The company -went to court soon after Heltzel's ; order was made. Not Proper PUC Attorney John R. Mc Cullough told the court Friday it would not be proper to per mit! suspension of the. traction company's passenger operations while they are being investigat ed by the state agency. "We wouldn't have anything to investigate," he said. The attorney for the traction company, Clarence Phillips, said he has "always doubted the com missioner's jurisdiction over timetab'es. This company is los ing hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on its passenger operations, and is entitled to re lief." ; Ap attorney for patrons of the line took the opposite ; view, maintaining that the company "is one of the most profitable op erations in the United States.4 While it might be losing money on its passenger. traffic, its over all profits are large, John Shel riaht Orppnn Pitv attnrnv ai No Trolley "This isn't any toonerville trol ley. In 1954, after a 39 per cent rate increase, it carried 1,309,000 passengers, Sheldahl said. The decision due Saturday noon by Judge Sloper is expect ed to have some bearing on the current battle between Southern Pacific Company and Heltzel over the now discontinued . Rogue River run.

Hera's Welcome Friday 70 San Marino emigrants to the United States who have not yet become American citizens ar rived, back to a hero's welcome. The rugged mountain folk lined the streets and shouted: "Long live America!" as the expatriates ar rived. Twenty-seven other San Marino citizens who now live in America had already come back by ship and plane. Most are from Sandusky, Ohio, Detroit, Mich., and New York City. The American task force lost no time. Minutes after arrival they were visiting relatives and friends, tell ing them what democracy had done in the United States and urging support of the Christian Democrat candidates they , will vote for Sun day. Listened With Wonder The San Marin ese listened with wonder at tales of working and living conditions in ? the United States. Here, under a Communist regime, a worker received $1.23 a day; there is so social security, no pension. "The outlook is very good. The San Marinese from America are having a wonderful effect." said I tain itiiviiviviUf nt aiiviVi il munist women's leader who organized the flight from America. San Marino, located oh a slope of Mt. Tiano in the rugged Appen ines. is entirely surrounded by Ita ly.

Cash Drawer Raids Told by Salem Police Two Salem restaurants Thursday lost a total of $175 to two daylight operators who release cash regis ter cash drawers from the rear without the sounding of bells add without leaving tell-tale readings on-the tapes, Salem police report ed Friday. j j The restaurants were the Spa, 382 State St., which turned up 9120 short at day's end. and Clark's Sandwich Shop, 479 Court St., which wound up $55 shy. Police Chief : Clyde A. Warren said one of the pair seems to screen operations from employes and customers with a newspaper while his partner opens up a door in the customer-side of the coun ter cash register and springs ia lever which opens the drawer. He then reaches around and takes the money. Warren described the door on the back of the cash register as the emergency door opened by a key retained by the agency respon sible for maintenance of the ma chine. ; Manager Herman Rieck Jr. of Clark's said he believed his till was robbed just after he returned from the bank with change, and that the man was working on the back of his machine just as be was unloading this change into the till.

Rehearing of Hells Canyon Issue Asked EVERETT I A resolution urging the National Hells Canyon Assn. to ask the Federal Power Commission for a rehearing on the Hells Canyon dam issue was adopted by the Washington Public Utility Districts Assn. Friday. The PUD representatives called for full recourse through the fed eral courts if the rehearing is de nied "to prove by any possible means that natural public re sources shall not be wasted by po litically prompted decisions made against the specific laws of Con gress." The PUD Assn. pledged finan cial support and called on others to also help the voluntary National Hells Canyon Assn. Ken Billington, executive secre tary, said, "The Federal Power Commission completely ignored the downstream power which will come from the high Hells Canyon storage. This downstream power is what Oregon and Washington would get out of a high dam devel opment. "We lose more than 500,000 kilo watts if Idaho Power gets their way on this stretch of the Snake River." The resolution adopted by the PUD officials states, "The high dam divested of all political in nuendo and double talk means more power at lower cost for the Pacific Northwest in the same way at Grand Coulee Dam." Salem Man's Hymn Picked For Publishing A hymn text written by Prof. Burton C. Bastuscheck of Willam ette University was one of 14 chos en for publication by the Hymn Society of America. Some 300 en tries were submitted in the com petition.;. The announcement was received here Friday from W. W. Reid of the board of missions of the Meth odist Church in New York. Reid said the interdenominational Hymn Society's publication is the result of a quest for hymns to "express the needs and aspirations of people in the churches and communities of rural America." Bastuscheck, 45, now at the Meth odist Iliff School of Theology at Denver working on his PhD de gree, is assistant professor of reli gion at Willamette. He also teaches rural sociology. Before coming here a year ago from Keosauqua, Iowa, he was a Methodist circuit pastor for several country churches. Bastuscheck and his family live at 715 N. 20th St Bean Picker Call Issued i About 3,500 bean pickers are needed in western Oregon at once and the shortage may grow even more acute over the next three weeks, according to reports receiv ed Friday from local offices of the State Employment Service.

The money is to cover the expense. Lad A. Dvorak." Campers on the beach saw Dvorak work fruitlessly to free his craft Tuesday evening. Finally he disappeared into the cabin. Coastguardsmen found him dead on his bunk. The rifle that had blasted away his life and a dream lay loosely in his hands.
