A trip eat by rail a week ay
revealed that across the nonhe:
tier of states winter was still lounr
inj, in the Up of spring. S ill ;
great deal of snow in the North
era Rockies (Glacier park), and
farm opcrtions are quite belated.
Plowing and seeding were getting
urdcr way across Illinois, but east
of Chicago the plows hadn't begun
to turn the earth. Willow whips on
sandbars along the Mississip
pi were showing their yellow-green
tint which is harbinger of spring.
However, on the Atlantic coast the
season was farther advanced, the
flowering shrubs and daffodils and!
tulips being at the peak of their
beauty. ,
The hangover of winter was brok
en at the weekend when the tem
perature in New York and Chicago
jumped to 89. The ousting of win
ter, moreover, was accompanied
by a twist as windstorms and tor

Great Lakes section. Returning by
air on a night flight we rode above
the winds and it certainly was
pleasant to land in this valley lush
and green in its cover of grass

Speedy Prosecution of
Dam Builders Urged
Chiropractor
Probe Minus
Indictments
A Marion County grand jury
decided Monday Dr. Paul V.
Mossberg, Portland chiropractor,
had no criminal intent when he
made charges against his Salem
colleague, Dr. Forrest I. Goddard,
in a petition to have him ousted
as chairman of the State Board of
Chiropractic Examiners.
The jury's report said it found
no evidence to substantiate accu
sations by Mossberg that Dr. God
dard referred four patients to "a
certain doctor in Portland . . .
for an illegal operation." "Al
though the accusations were
false", the report read, "we did
not indict Dr. Mossberg ... be
cause we felt that he published
this petition without having a
criminal intent to injure or de
fame ..."
While clearing Mossberg of any
possible criminal prosecution, the
jury took a sharp slap at John
Brady, Portland accountant, who
is reported to have furnished the
doctor with information for basis
of his petition. Wording of the
report indicated tht grand jury
of two women and five men
would have Indicted Brady had
his name been attached to the
petition.

County needs are being met in every respect except la the matter
of roads. County Judge Ret Hartley said Monday during the first
day's session of the committee examining the 1HC-1957 Marlon County
budget.
"If we could, we would multiply by It our present road budget,'
Hartley said, referring both to the necessity of holding expenses down
on a preliminary budget that Is
already t9t,$00 over the I per cent
annual increase permitted county
budgets, and the relatively small
($23,245) increase tor general road
maintenance and construction that
Commissioner Roy Rice's $431,32
request represents.
Wllhia Umitattea
Concerning the total preliminary
budget of W.235.M5, Judge Hartley
earlier said, "1 am sure wt will
balance the coming budget within
the I per cent limitation and still
provide most of the services neces
sary to the county."
In subsequent interviews with
some 11 department heads, how
ever, there was no indication how
the 196.500 excess would be made.
"Cuts in requested hinds will not
be announced until after all
branches of county government
are heard," Hartley explained.
Tax Levy Totalled
If passed as it stands the budget
would have to be approved by
Marion County voters before be
