: Preliminary work on heading
off anticipated water shortages
for Salem within a year or two
was ordered Monday night by the
City Council.
; Aldermen decided to employ
private consulting engineers to
check over the city's water esti
mates and, if fear of . shortages
is confirmed, to make prelimi
nary estimates on a new major
water supply line from the San
Uam River at Stayton to Salem.
Recommendation to that effect
was made by City Manager J. L.
Franzen at last night's . Council
meeting... ''. "'''
, Cost of the preliminary work
was estimated at $5,000. "This
could save us a lot tf money in
the long run, said Mayor Rob
ert F. White.
Manager Franzen said Salem's
water supply reached a "near
shortage" during a long stretch
of hot weather last summer.
He saicf Salem used more wat
er at that time than at any pre
vious time in its history. Level
of the huge hilltop reservoir at
Turner fell from 20 feet to 5
feet during August j
: ; Council members ' did not go
into detail last night but pre
vious statements from Franzen
indicated the new water line to
be needed before long would cost
$2 or $3 million.

Dulles Renews
Plea for Ike's1
'Summit' Plan
MIAMI Fla. m Secretary of
State Dalles challenged Soviet
leaders Monday to open the door
to disarmament and peace by .c-
cepting President Eisenhower s
"summit'! proposal.
The President suggested an ex
change of military blueprints and
aerial inspections of one country
by the other.
Dulles framed in an address be
fore the American Legion's nation
al ; convention that the. United
States will not disarm "unless we
can be sure that others are doing
the same. s
The secretary made it plain to
more than 6.000 veterans of World
Wa-s 1 and II and the Korean
War that he regarded , the Presi
dent's proposal asthe key to a
future free from war. ;
'Interrupted by applause, Dulles
said:
"One of the great gains of the
'summit' conference at Geneva
was that it gave President Eisen
hower an opportunity to demon
strate, so that none could doidbt.
our nation's dedication to peace."
"Dulles spoke in the gaily be
decked dinner key auditorium o&y
a few minutes after the Legidn
naires had stood in a minute,,! of
silence in' tribute to Eisenhower,
"May God be with him," said
National Commander Seaborn Col
lins, . of New Mexico, 'expressing
hope the President soon will return
to normal health. ' $ .
The secretary referred to the
Soviet Union's new "friendly" look
but noted that "Soviet Communist
doctrine has persistently taught
retreat and zig-zag as a tactic of
conquest." . ; -
"So we cannot tell," he said,
"whether what is going on marks
a genuine change of purpose, or
whether it is merely a maneuver."

Failure
Growers to Meet
To Discuss Call
For Federal Aid
By CONRAD FRANCE
SUff Writer, The Statesman ,
LABISH CENTER Onion
farmers. in this area are claim
ing a $l,000,000-plus loss from
rain-caused flood waters which
Monday washed over their bottom
land onion fields.
Gloom was as thick as onion
soup as most of the district's 100
odd growers counted this season's
bumper onion crop a total loss.'
This makes the third consecutive
crop failure in this onion grow
ing colony north of Salem.
Most in Debt
"Most of us are in debt now,"
said one grower as he watched
his field of onions bob away oa
the muddy, rising flood. "This
will just about sink us.
Growers will meet Tuesday
(today) at 2 p.m. at the Labish
Center School to discuss the pos
sibility of getting federal finan
cial help. ' .
Monday moraine's flooding of
the nearby Little Pudding River
followed recent heavy rains and
came at a crucial time. The sell- -ing
price this year is almost twice
that of last year.
Onions Drying
The onions had been pulled
and were drying in long rows in
the fields. Normally the crop is
harvested by this time of year.
Late rains last spring delayed
the planting time by several
weeks.
Only about 10 to 15 per cent
of the crop has been harvested,
it was estimated by grower Wil-
lard Aker. He added that even
those onions not actually flooded
would be seriously damaged by
the near-constant rains of the
past week or so.
The water continued to rise
late last night

Press Secretary James Hagerty
Monday angrily denounced a news
motion picture crew for flying in
a helicopter over Fitzsimons Army
Hospital while President Eisenhow
er was sunning himself on an open
terrace.
"The health of the President of
the United States is far more lrn
portant than any sneak photo
graph, and I believe the people' of
this nation feel the same way
about it" Hagerty told a news
conference.
He added heatedly that if the
President, recovering from a heart
attack, "ever . gets it , into . bis
mind" that his being out on the
hospital sundeck might result in
disturbance of other patients, "he
won't go out on that porch again
and he'll be deprived of the air
prf im jjg needs.'
late Monday morning Eisenhow
er was wheeled in his hospital bed
for the first time to a terrace near
his eighth floor room. Hagerty said
the helicopter appeared over the
hospital, flying at from 500 to 1,00 .
! feet, shortly after he had an
nounced that the President was n
the terrace. ' '
r Sig Mickelson, CBS vice presi
dent in charge of news and public
affairs, issued in , New York a
statement declaring:
"The President's health comes
first and we regret that some of
our people were overzealous.
Hagerty said the CBS crew was
held at the municpal airport after
the helicopter landed, but their
film was not confiscated. He added
that they did not get a picture of '
the President on the terrace.
