"cannot bufdlsttirb peace" in that
area. It warntfd against any use
of foreign troops there without a
prior agreement of countries con-1
cerned and U.N. approval.
A statement issued to foreign
Correspondents at the Soviet For
eign Ministry said "Any activities
aimed at complicating and increas
ing tension in tho reoinn nf th
Middle and Near East cannot but
be a matter of legal jurisdiction
and interest for the Soviet Union"
because the situation there is di
rectly related to Soviet security.
The ministry said its statement
was prompted by the declaration
by Prime Minister F.den and Pres
ident Eisenhower Feb. 1 after their
consultations in Washington.
The section of that declaration
dealing with the Middle East said
Britain and the United States are
ready to contribute to a settlement
between Israel and the Arab states
by financial aid to refugees and
guaranteeing agreed frontiers.
It recalled the U.S. British
French declaration pledping joint
action inside and outside the U.N.
In the event of forcible violation
of frontiers or armistice lines and
announced a special conference of
these three powers on the Middle
East.

Boiling Mad at
'Cheap Trick'
LACONIA. N. H. m - Boiling
at what they termed "a cheap po
litical trick," supporters of Sen,
Kefauver (tVTenn) said Monday
night they might go to court in
an attempt to oust what they de
scribed as three "phony candi
dates" from New Hampshire's
Democratic presidential primary
ballot. .
Three Manchester men Arthur
3: Savageau, Alfred J, Bouchard
and Antonio Gosselin filed as
delegate candidates "favorable to
Kefauver" five minutes before the
deadline last Saturday night.
Their action upset carefully laid
plans by Kefauver to limit his
ticket to a "pledged," streamlined
12 number slate one candidate
for each Democratic convention
seat at stake in the March 13 bal
loting. As a result, the primary
lists now include 15 candidates
wearing the Kefauver label, com
pared with 12 favorable to Adlai
Stevenson.
Stevenson leaders have denied
they had anything to do with the
last minute Kefauver filings.

The reporter, John Grover, 49,

LONDON UTi Avalanche dis

storms boosted the death toll to
390 Monday night in the third week
of Europe's coldest wave of the
20th century.
Belgrade Radio said 58 Yugo
slavs lost their lives and another
19 were gravely injured in slides
that buried seven villages in the
mountains of southern Yugoslav
Macedonia. Many , others were
missing.
The crash of a mercy plane add
ed to the toll.
The U. S. Air Force and aircraft
of European nations roared out on
mercy missions with blankets,
clothes, food and fuel.
More icy winds were predicted.
The extended freeze brought ex
treme hardship to millions in
Southern France unprepared for

less cold.
At bases in Germany, the U. S.
Air Force suspended its own air
supply system to rush aid across
the Alps to Italy.
Planes were called from North
Africa, France and Berlin for the
mercy mission. They are to con
tinue the shipments until 450,000
pounds of food and clothing are
delivered to Italian officials.
The coldest spot in Europe was
Muodoslompolo in Sweden's far

Light Plane
Adjusts Into
Auto Trunk
AKRON. Ohio Goodyear
Aircraft Corp. Monday disclosed
an airplane you can pack up in
the trunk of your car.
The craft is made of balloonlike
fabric and takes less air pressure
to inflate than a standard automo
bile tire, Goodyear engineer Roger
L. Wolcott said.
The lightweight monoplane looks
like a glider with the pilot perched
out in front.
Pilot Richard Ultn said, "The
plane flies much the same as any
light plane. By being seated at
the front, however, I felt like a
glider pilot."
Company engineers said the
craft was the first of its kind in
the United States. Goodyear said
it had no plans for quantity pro
duction. It is powered by a two-cycle
40-horscpower engine mounted on
top behind the wings.
Thus far flights of the mono
plane have been limited to Good
year's testing grounds at Wing-
foot Lake, 15 miles south of Akron.

teeth, but he wishes now he had,
he told police Monday in making
this report:
A woman, about 40, came into
his office and said she wanted
her teeth extracted- But Dr. West
said he was about to go out for

a colleague who did.
Suddenly the women threw
her arms around Dr. West.
"What I really need is affec

Dr.- West, who is 75, disen
gaged himself and backed away.
"I'm afraid I m not interested.
he told her. He gave her the

reached for his wallet. It was
gone along with the $160 that
was in it. ,
Dr. West couldn't give a de
tailed description of the woman.
But he was certain about one
thing: She had six teeth in her
upper jaw and eight in her lower.

Salem Firms
To Design
School Jobs
Four Salem architectural firms
will share in designing structures
for the city's school addition pro
gram, including a music and art
wing for North Salem High School.
Selection of the architects came
at a special Monday morning ses
sion of the Salem District School
Board. The board had asked more
time to consider the selections at
the regular board meeting last
Thursday after reaching. decisions
on what projects to get underway
this year. , .
Architect Ernest Webber was
named to design the North Salem
addition, planned for construction
in the summer of 1957. Funds for
the project, which has not reached
firm, plan stage, were included
in the $2,900,000 bond issue voted
a week ago by district residents.
Biggest of the grade school ad
ditions, a five room and toilet proj
ect at Morningside School, will be
handled by Architect William I
Williams who designed the original
structure.
John Grimmer Groom was nam
ed to design a two to four room
addition for Four Corners School;
James L. Payne was retained for
architectural work on a similar
addition at Washington School.
Payne has already completed
drawings for a two-room addition
including renovation of basement
space at Middle Grove.
Early selection of architects was
rushed by the board in order to
get the elementary additions un
derway in time for use when
school opens next fall. It Is esti
mated the projects will cost $300,
000. Mixed Rain,
Snow Seen
Occasional showers of mixed
rain and snow are on tap for the
Salem area today, according to
weathermen. The mercury was ex
pected to slide to perhaps 22 to
night to the. accompaniment of
clearing skies.
The outlook for today includes
westerly winds which may at
times hit 20 miles an hour. The
gradual slipping of the mercury is
expected to produce a maximum
reading no higher than 38 today.
The area had .08 of an inch of
precipitation Monday, some of it
coming with brief flurries of hail

$3,750,000 Water Supply Bonds
Included; Fluoridation Bill Ponds
By ROBERT E. CANGWARE
City Editor, The Statesman
Salem City Council ordered six more special finance and
cliarter chiinRe" proposals on the May ballot Monday night, in
cluding a $3,750,000 bond issue that would increase Salem'l
watctv supply.
All the proposals so far voted on by the Council have woo
places on the ballot with only
money measures approved last
month. Still pending are the fluo
ridation proposal and two meas
ures related to a fire alarm sys
tem. s
After the aldermen's action at
City Hall last night, here the
ballot list as ordered so far:
Water supply bond Issue for $3,-
750,000 to be retired by increased
water rates; work to include an
additional, second pipeline from
North Santiam, River.
Sites Net Specific
New Darks' acauisition and pur
chase through $700,000 bond issuV.
Actual sites not specified, - but
Council reduced this from $750,000
on understanding a Candalaria
park site would be removed from
consideration.
Parks operation special tax of
$35,000 a year 'about one mill) to
care for expanding park system.
Public library improvement spe
cial tax of $30,000 for one year to
add equipment to present library
and establish West Salem branch.
Three issues approved last
month, including $188,000 bond
issue for street widenings (South
12th, Fairgrounds and Market);
$140,000 bond issue for replacing
four old bridges; $50,000 one-year
special tax for airport improve
ment.
Year's Residence
Civil service change to permit
hiring policemen without present
requirement of one year's Salem
residence.
Firemen's pension changes to in
crease protection of widows and
other dependents, and to make
other minor changes.
Of the three ballot possibilities
still pending before the Council,
the proposal to fluoridate the water
supply was introduced just last
night by Mayor Robert F. White,
The two fire alarm system items
were tabled until after a confer
ence between officials of city and
National Board of Fire Under
writers. Mayor White predicted
the measures wouldn't go to the
ballot unless assurance came from
the national board the fire insur
ance premium savings would re
sult.
Chamber Backs-
Four of the bond Issues were
endorsed for passage by Salem
Chamber of Commerce. In a let
ter to the Council, Chamber Presi
dent Elmer Berg said the chamber,
following study, favors the bridges
fire alarm system, water pipeline
and parks acquisition measures.
Berg added this didn't mean oppo
sition to other issues, but the others
hadn't yet been studied.
