Barbara Ward, well-known Brit
Ish author, writing in the New
York Times Magazine, reminds us
that a decade has now passed
since the end of World War II, and
compares the present state of the
world with that of 1929, ten years
after the Peace of Versailles. She
finds things now vastly better.
Ehe is speaking particularly on
economic conditions. The year 1929
was, as we all know, the year of
the "bust", the beginning of a de
pression which deepened and held
on until the second World War
came along to put everyone to
work or at fighting, and released
forces of inflation which have not
yet been harnessed.
How account for the difference?
Miss Ward, who formerly was
, foreign editor of the London Econo
mist and now, I believe, resides in
Australia, explains it thus:
. . . if one searches for a single
reason why, in these two compar
' able decades.the first led from
better to worse and the second
from worse to better, the answer
must be given that in the second
decade, the fatalities of history
were broken by .a great and crea
tive act of statesmanship, whereas
, in the first, they were left to take
their relentless course. That act
was. of course, the Marshall Plan.
That is indeed quite a. tribute to
the program of world recovery
which was outlined by Secretary
of State Marshall in an address at
Harvard university in 1947. The
idea did not spring full-grown from
Marshall's head. Dean Acheson,
then undersecretary, is credited
with

Israel Plane
Fires Warning
At U.S. Craft
TEL AVIV, Israel Lfi An Is
raeli fighter plane fired a machine
gun burst ahead of a U. S. Air
Force transport plane Sunday and
ordered it to land at Lydda for a
checkup. The plane was carrying
members of a U. S. military mis-i
sion from Cairo to Ankara by way
of Beirut.
After interrogation in the pres
ence of U. S. and Israeli officials,
the It officers and men were al
lowed to proceed. "
' Ma j. Gene , Murf ay Patton of
Harlingen, Texas, the plane com
mander, said the machine gun
burst "scared the life out of us,"
and 1 added: "There must have
been some miscalculation on some
one's part."
An Israeli Foreign Office official
at the airport said the U. S. plane
failed to heed radio orders from
Israeli planes to land at Lydda)
and the burst was fired for that
reason.
Maj. Patton said the Americans
flew to Cairo from Ankara on an
unscheduled freight run to pick up
supplies and were on the way home ;
when they were intercepted by two
Israeli fighters north of Haifa, j
Current Arab-Israeli tension has!
made Israel extremely sensitive to
unscheduled plane flights over her j
territory. )

SAN JOSE. Calif. 11 An earth
quake shook ! a 100-mile area
around San Jose Sunday night,
cracking walls' and windows here,
swaying buildings in San Francis
co and frightening thousands in
the thickly populated region.
The tremor began shortly ; after
7 p. m. PDT as a quivering motion
and developed into a back-and-forth
movement in some places
and as a rolling motion in another.
It kept up for as much as 30 sec
onds in some places.
W. C. Marion, seismologist at the
quake centered near Hollister, SO'struse jit the McKay agency and
I miles south i of here. He agreed
with Father Weber, seismologist at
Santa Clara University that its in
tensity was moderately light, with
a Richter rating of 5.5.
At the California Institute of
Technology i in Pasadena, Dr.
Charles F. Richter, who developed
the earthquake; measuring scale,
rated the intensity at nearly 6.
This would indicate a somewhat
stronger movement than the Berk
eley and Santa Clara estimates.
Marion said the quake occurred
on the famed San Andreas Fault.

duced the devastating San Fran
cisco earthquake of 190S. which
had a Richter rating of 8.25.

Blazing out of control were fires

No casualties had been reported.
Some 200 men used 20 pumpers

Residents had been evacuated in
30 cars earlier both from Mira

Nine hundred men were fight

Hot Verbal Blows
WASHINGTON (JP) Democratic National Chairman Paul M.
Butler and Secretary of the Interior Douglas McKay threw blunt
words lat each other Sunday over a strike at the McKay family

President's Cabinet wasi
conducting a union-bust-
ing drive,
McKay, informed of the state
ment, prepared his own.
'Demagoguery
"The! Democratic Party's attack
on me because of a strike in an
automobile sales agency that bears
my name," McKay said, "is sheer
nonsense and : political demagog
uery at its worst."
McKay declared "responsible la-
! bor leaders and labor union mem
bers wjll not be deceived by Paul

which the nation is familiar."

Long Weekend
Brings Rush to
Cooler Areas
The Salem area sweltered Sun
day in the hottest temperature
recorded here since 1952. The
thermometer hit 100 at 2:30 and
3:30 p.m. Sunday and McNary
Field weathermen see no relief
in sight today.
A high of 90 to 100 degrees .
is forecast Yesterday's high
figure was not as noticeable as
it might have been, say weather
men. A comparatively low hu
midity of 17 per cent -for this
area was noted.
First Aidmen Busy
Weathermen expect cooler
temperatures by Tuesday. At the
coast today, fair weather is fore
cast with patches of morning fog
and low clouds.
City first aidmen were kept on
the run Sunday with heat pros- .
tration cases and other illnesses
blamed on the weather. A city '
fire department detail gave first
aid to several state fair viewers
who were overcome with the
beat.
Service Stopped
A Sunday evening service at
a downtown church was inter-,
rupted when one of the par
ishioners suddenly fainted. His
case was blamed on the heat
City police reported 'that they
were kept busy by several persons
whose thirst for liquor seemed to
rise in the hot temperature. In
fact police said, they were run
ning short of beds to handle the
heavy volume of intoxication cases.
Traffic on Highway 99E both
to. and from Salem continued
heavy', said state police, but only
one fatal traffic mishap was re
ported in the Salem area. (Story

Year's Record .
Sunday's 100-degree temperature
was by two degrees the highest
thermometer reading here this
year. It was 98 last June 8 and
the last time the mercury hit 100
here was on Aug. 3, 1952, when 102
degrees were chalked up.
The all-time highest Salem tem
perature was recorded on July 15,
1941, when the reading soared to
108.
Meanwhile, the Associated Press
reported that record high tempera
tures were reported at several
points over the state Sunday, the
second full day of the long Labor -Day
weekend.
Medford's 107 dgrees was the
highest reading in the state and
the hottest Sept 4 ever recorded
in the Southern Oregon' city.
Ten Killed
Six deaths were reported Sun
day, raising Oregon Labor Day .
weekend accident toll to ten, the
Associated Press said.
Four of Sunday's victims were
killed in highway crashes. One . ,
drowned and another died of burns
suffered in a fire Saturday.
Deaths on the nation's highwayi
mounted alarmingly Sunday night,
far exceeding early predictions of
the National Safety CounciL ,
385 Dead
An Associated Press survey
showed 294 killed in auto accidents,
43 drowned and 48 dead in mis
cellaneous accidents for an over
all death toll of 385 at 2 a. m.
(EST) Monday.
Council experts said this figure
exceeded the number killed at 10
a. m. EST of the third day of the
1954 Labor Day weekend.
The council estimated that the
traffic death toll will be 400 during
the holiday period from 6 p. m.
local time Friday to midnight
Monday. The record traffic death
toll for a Labor Day weekend was
the 461 in 195L
The record number of traffic
deaths for any holiday period was
in the four-day Christmas holiday
period in 1952. The toll then was
556.
The Associated Press, in' a sur
vey for a three-day non-holiday
weekend, Aug. 19-22 this year,
counted 365 traffic deaths.
