Repairs to State

To Cost 90,000
Repair of the State Office Build

$90,000. the State Board of Control
learned Tuesday. :
.When 'floor cracks appeared at
that building recently. Civil De

temporary support was given the

The repaTr estimate came from
Cooper L Rose, Portland archi

to continual stress and strain, not
to any particular thing like vibra
tion from passing trains.
-Secretary of State Earl T.-New-bry
recommended the' 1957 Legisla

supports are considered adequate,
according to the architects report.

This was the statement of J. M. j
Kleiner, Russian-born and educat
ed, ; now farmer and food proces
sor, at Nampa, Idaho. Kleiner,
who held a 300-persori audience
perfectly quiet for the best of two
hours, has visited nussia twice :n
recent years, including this past
summer."
Russia expects to gain her
avowed ptirpose to conquer the
world and rule it from Moscow,
by "turning out more . scientists.
more teachers, more medics and
good ones than we do." He warn
ed against making our boys and
girls "soft". "We say we have
free education I doubt it we have
free chance to go to school.
How many of our children take
work home and if they do, they
study only during commercials on
TV." '
The situation in Russia is not
as gloomy as it appears for Rus
sians, "nor quite as bright for
us," he said, as he urged his lis
teners not to take seriously any
thing "you hear or read about
upheaval in Russia."

Station to Bring 'Hundreds of i
Personnel'; Involves 19 Buildings
By CHARLES IRELAND
Valley Editor, The Statesman
; CORVALLIS Plans to build a $5,000,000 Air
Force communications center at Camp Adair, 10..
miles north of Corvallis, were disclosed Tuesday by
the Air Force. (Map at bottom of page.)
"Several hundred" personnel will be stationed at
the new center, scheduled for completion by Decem
ber, 1957, according to the office
of Col. Paul Stephens, Portland,
representative for Air Force con
struction in the Northwest.
The Air, Force did not disclose
the "function of the new' commu
nications system, but said it was
officially termed a SAGE instal
lation. And, while the meaning -of the
letters SAGE is classified, SAGE
is the Air Force's proposed con
tinental defense system which is
intended to increase the effec
tiveness of the existing, air de
fense system.
Monitoring System
; It is believed that the new
communications system will in
some manner serve as a monitor
ing system to speed up the relay
ing of messages concerning the
approach of hostile aircraft or mis
siles when detected by radar or
some other method.
It was reliably reported that
the telephone industry will play
a major role in equipping the
new center. Much of the equip
ment will be electronic.
One of Several
Lt. Col. John W. Etter, assist
ant to Col. Stephens, indicated
that the Camp Adair center
would be one of several on the
Pacific Coast. He said others
would be built at McChcrd Field,
Wash., and in northern Califor
nia. -
He said he "thought that four"
SAGE installations already were
underway in the East
In ."Design Stage'
-Currently, plans for the Camp
Adair installation are in the "de
sign stage," the Air Force re
ported.' Test Qrilling for sites of
19 permanent buildings was un
derway Tuesday, and CoL Etter
'said construction probably would
start about a year from now
He said the buildings would
include a general building (which

might prove closer to double that

As Expected
CHICAGO Iff Confident and
beaming, Adlai E. Stevenson . an
nounced Tuesday what almost ev
erybody already knew that ho
will be a candidate for the 1936
twh- m,'n.
:""
Stevenson, the 1952 nominee who
was defeated by President Eisen-
4K-!hower. struck a ' "prosperity and
theme in a 349-word an
nouncement his aides handed re
porters: ..;
He said he will do all he can
to persuade his party to let him
lead it in a race where he' may
be opposed by a new Republican
nominee instead of the President
because:
"First, I believe it is Important
for, the Democratic Party to re
sume the ' executive direction of
our national affairs;
"Second, I am assured that my
candidacy would be welcomed by
representative people in and out
of my party throughout the coun
try; ' - .
"Third, I believe any citizen
should make whatever contribu
tion he. can to the search for a
safer, saner world."
Friends said Stevenson's decision :
to run actually was made months
ago, before President Eisenhower
was stricken with a heart attack."
Despite advance planning, there,
were two false starts on his an
nouncement before its actual re
lease. Stevenson later read his own
words for the benefit of television
and news reel cameras but post
poned answering any questions un
