WASHINGTON Jet fighters top the Capitol Saturday, part of the
showing of the nation's strength in observance of Armed Forres
Day. Secretary of Defense Wilson called the display an "exhibi
tion of power for peace and in no sense for intimidation or aggres
sion." Visible are ropes and platforms of workmen now doing a
once-evcry-fouryears paint job on the famous dome. This is the
west side of the Capitol, the Jets flying from right to left (AP

Voters in McMinnville
Approve Fluoridation

McMinnville voters approved fluoridation in a reversal of the trend

Fluoridation votes were tabulated Saturday at McMinnville and at
Albany, where the measure was defeated.
Elsewhere, early mid-valley election trends held steady without

Plane Crash
Fatal to Three
From Portland
CHEHALIS - A plane crash
early Saturday took the lives of
two Portland men and a 14-year-old
boy when their plane plum
meted to earth shortly after take
off from the Toledo airport.
i Dead were William Koltsch. a
j Portland restaurant owner: Mich
ael, Koltsch's son, and Larry Wil
son, an assistant coach in base-l
hall, basketball and football at
Portland's Franklin High School.
' Koltsch was the owner and the
pilot.
Searchers found the wreckage
and the three bodies strewn over
a cultivated farm pasture 1,500
feet west of the main north-south
nignway, about two miles away I
from the airport and about a mile
and a half south of the Winlock
overpass.
The Portland-bound plane, a
twin-engine Cessna, took off from
the Toledo field at 12:20 a.m.
Wreckage Net Strewn
It was speculated that the plane
might have crashed while circling
to gain altitude. Robert Nuber,
state aeronautics director, said
the fact that the wreckage was
not strewn over a wide area indi
cated the craft might have been
struck in rnid-air by lightning or
a sudden turbulence.
Snyder at Scene
Earl Snyder, Oregon aeronau
tics director, flew to the scene
from Salem. He said the wreck
age showed the Air Force surplus
plane plunged earthward at a
high rate of speed, ripping a gash
in the farm land about 30 feet
long and four feet deep. The plane
disintegrated in the crash, hurl
ing the occupants more than 300
feet from the point of impact.
East Side E-R
Plan Trailing
PORTLAND i.f - The measure
to limit location of the eight mil
lion dollar exposition-recreation
center to the east side of the Wil
lamette River was trailing by
2.000 votes Saturday as returns
were counted from Friday's pri
mary election
If the proposal is defeated the
center will be built on the west
side near the present auditorium.
City voters upheld the city ordi
i nance outlawing pinball machines
j and other coin-in-thc-slot and key
operated devices. A proposal to
establish a farm and police acad
emy was soundly defeated,
j The fate of a $900,000 tax levy
to raise city employes' salaries
was in doubt Saturday. It was
trailing by only a few hundred
votes, a reversal of an earlier
trend.
A measure to increase the coun
ty tax base to $11,985,000 appar
ently was approved. The new
base, supporters said, would have
the effect of doing away with the
necessity of special elections.

Little change in temperature is
expected in the Salem area today
with a high near 78 and a low to

McNary Field weatherman.

Oregon
Adlai Receives
60 Per Cent
Of Write-ins
By MORRIE LAN'DSBERG
PORTLAND - Adlai Steven
son got a new lift for his Demo
cratic presidential bid Saturday
with a victory over Sen. Estes
Kefauver in their Oregon write-in
test.
President Eisenhower, unop
posed on the Republican ticket,
outpolled his 'wo potential rivals,
whose names didn't show on the
Republican ballot in Friday's pri
mary. Republicans, however, gave
an even bigger sendoff to Gov.
Elmo Smith in handing him the
party's gubernatorial nomination.
Stevenson, showing statewide
strength, collected 60 per cent of
the Democratic presidential write
in, as against 40 per cent for Ke
fauver. Popularity Votes
Eisenhower, with his name on
the ballot, piled up a popularity
vote of about ST per cent of the
Republican turnout. Vice Presi
dent Nixon came up with the un
solicited write-in backing of 20
per cent for a return place on the
1956 ticket.
Returns from 2,112 complete pre
cincts of the state's 2.519:
Eisenhower 185,583; Nixon 32,
878. Returns from 2,104 complete
precincts: Kefauver 47,927; Stev
enson 72.356.
Two More Contests
Stevenson's victory in the
Democratic preferential poll is
certain to hearten his managers
facing two more contests with Ke
fauver in the final major pri
maries coming up In Florida and
California.
Stevenson's campaign manager,
James A. Finnegan, said in Chi
cato "If clear the groundiwell
developing for Stevenson cannot
be stopped."
Kefauver congratulated Steven
son on his victory, said he be
vieved the contest had strength
ened the Democratic Party in Ore
gon, and said he received a bigger
vote than he ' ad looked for.
Claims Gains
Finnegan saw the Oregon vic
tory as "proof that Adlai Steven
son has gained strength with the
voters since 1952 while President
Eisenhower has lost ground."
The presidential vote pledged 18
delegates to the Republican na
tional convention to Eisenhower
and 16 Democratic delegages to
Stevenson. Republican delegates,
in addition, will be bound to Nix
on for renomination by his write
in support.
Eisenhower carried Oregon for
the Republicans in 1952, outdraw
ing Stevenson 420,815 to 270,579.
His popularity tally Friday was
approaching the 153,000 votes he
received here in the 1952 primary.
Kefauver. the only active candi
date, walked off with the Demo
cratic delegation four years ago
with a vote of 128,696.

Mayor Race
PORTLAND W A November
runoff between incumbent Port
land Mayor Fred L. Peterson and
Terry Schrunk seemed assured
Saturday as Schrunk continued to
build up a lead in voting from
Friday's municipal election.
A runoff will be held if no
mayoralty candidate receives a
clear majority. Peterson was run
ning about 7,000 votes behind
Schrunk but the sheriff lacked
aboug 4,000 for a clear majority
in the nine-man race for mayor.
Schrunk now is sheriff of Mult
nomah County.
There had been speculation that
the recent vice charges which
touched off an investigation of
Multnomah County and Portland

election. It could not be deter

Wider Streets, New Bridges Voted
County Trends Hold, Zoning Beaten
By THOMAS G. WRIGHT JR.
Staff Writer, The Statesman
Early trends in the Marion
County Primary held true Saturday
as weary election boards counted
their way out from under an un
expected ballot blizzard of 32,000
votes.
Submerged under the blizzard
was a much-debated county zoning
measure which was rejected 15.599
to 13,635 in complete returns of 122
of the county's 127 voting pre
cincts. It was a surprising upset
for the bill which had come within
273 votes of approval in 1954.
Rural area strength failed to
materialize for Salem Attorney
George Jones as Marion County,
Republicans nominated their first
woman for district attorney. Miss
Hattie Bratzcl, also a Salem at
torney, held a 7128 to 5 I lead
over Jones with only five city pre
cincts still outstanding. Trailing
far behind were George Gross at
3128 and Howard Kaffun 1409.
Second Bid
Miss Rratzcl's November oppo
nent will be Attorney Thomas C.
Enright who outdistanced Ralph
Wyckoff 5793 to 3420 for the Dem
ocratic nomination. It was her
second bid for the nomination
which she narrowly missed in the
1952 Primary.
In the only other close race for
county offices Patrick J. Mc
Carthy, a St. Paul farmer, beat
out Anton Vistica, Woodburn, for
the Democratic nomination for
county commissioner. He will face
Roy Rice, incumbent Republican
who had no primary opposition,
in November.
Incumbents Win
Early leaders in the Republican
representative race maintained
and built up their margins with
party endorsement going to Incum
bents Eddie Ahrens, W. W. Chad
wick and R. L. Elfstrnm, and to
Winton Hunt, Woodburn insurance
man. Ahrens, seeking a second
term, was a surprise leader with
12,551 votes. EKstrom had 12.081,
Chadwick 11,528 and Hunt 8461.
Trailing were Lee Byers at 7644.
David Cromwell 7016 and Herbert
Barker 6292.
Guy Jonas, running unopposed
on the Democratic side, picked up
6841 votes for representative, and
three write-in candidates Sheila
Laue, Cecil Fames and Steve
Anderson all got enough votes to
assure themselves a spot on the
November ballot.
Sheriff Victor
In the only other primary con
test on the Republican side, Shcr
iff Denver Young easily beat out
Oliver Rickman for renomination
Coroner Leston Howell swamped
his opponent Dr. John Ahlbin, by
' a 13.287 to 3253 count.
The heavy vole, long list of can-'
didates for convention delegates, t
and complication of several bal !
lots combined to slow the counting
in the larger precincts. Among the j
late precincts were No. 48 at
Salem Heights Community Hall I
where 554 voted and No. 206 in
east Salem where 552 cast their
ballots.

Stiff Penalty
VICTORIA, B. C.-(AP-The
severest penalty in the history of
the Pacific Coast Conference was
slapped on the University of Calif
ornia, Los Angeles, Saturday. PCC
officials meeting here put UCLA
on a three-year probation, "'fined"
the school almost $95,000 and re
moved two of its booster ' clubs
from good standing.
UCLA will lose its Rose Bowl
shares for three years 'etsimated
at $26,000 a year i and was fined
an additional $15,000 for violating

Two weeks ago the University
of Washington was handed a two
year probation and deprived of its
Rose Bowl recepits for that period

City Editor, The Statesman
Three wider itreets, four new
bridges and a greatly increased
water supply for Salem are un
derwritten by Salem voters as
result of the Friday city elec

down at least five other pro
posed improvements that would
have required bonds or special
taxes, but they put their stamp
of approval on s $3,750,000 bond
issue for i new water supply
line from the North Santiam

concrete bridges and a $188,000
widening program for Fair
