So he up some 31 years of handling muni cipal affairs. His earlier career, after graduating in engineering from Washington State College, was chiefly with the Reclamation Sen-ice and with private corpora tions. For over 45 years he has thrown his superior talents into his work and now leaves as his monu ment many achievements both in physical structures and in muni cipal organization. Franzen came to Salem just after the end k World War II. coincident with the era of growth and ex pansion for which Salem was des tined. He has not only had major responsibility for guiding that! growth but has shown great fore-lh sight in anticipating the direction I and scope of that growth. As a result Salem has made its progress ( ith a minimum of friction and distortion. Not" all the credit for this success in municipal planning goes to Franzen.

WASHINGTON t Congress passed the biggest money bill of the session Friday, a $34.656, 727,- 000 "measure to finance tht De fense DepartmenJ , through the f il eal year starting Sunday.' The- bill carries about 500 mil lion dollars more than President Eisenhower asked and reflects Congressional emphasis on creat ing and maintaining' the strongest Air Force in the world.

The House passed the compro mise bill Friday on a standing vote of 79-57. The bifr cleared the .Senate a few minutes later with out objection. Now it goes to Presi dent Eisenhower. Senate Approves H5 Billion Aid WASHINGTON I - The Senate Friday night passed a $4,562,000. 000 foreign aid authorization bill after beating down all efforts to make any floor cuts in the totals. The vote was 54-25. The big bill now goes to confer ence with the House, which voted for the substantially lower author ization of about $3,(00,000,000 The Senate action on the bill, in two lengthy voting sessions both running into the night hours, rep resented a considerable victory for President .Eisenhower. Nevertheless, evek the Senate total was wj-ll beto the $4,900, 000.000 program which the Presi dent asked. The Senate figure is apt to be cut somewhat in confer ence with the House. Then Congress will get another crack at reducing the Eisenhower request when the foreign aid ap propriations bill comes along. This cannot go above the authorization, but can be cut below it and nearly always is. Wilson Asks U.S. Not Flex Muscles WASHINGTON 1 - Secretary of Defense Wilson Friday denied Democratic charges that the Eisenhower administration has skimped dangerously on air power in its drive to balance the budget.

Robert L. Elfstrom, member of Marion County's del egation to the House, may make a bid for the speaker position for the 1957 Legislature, he said Friday.

They jrert included in aa affidavit attached to a motion, filed by Dist Atty Eugene Vena seeking a new Lane County grand jury to hear the case. But even before Circuit Judge i Dal M. King heard the motion, , be had ordered the new grand Jury drawn and the old one dis- missed. In his motion,' which was denied by Judge King, Venn said Reid had possessed funds '. embezzled from the prisoner, Moses Moody, and also had taken an improper part in the choice of the grand for. . , . teid Issues Denial , , ' 5 Both these accusations were do- i aed by Judge Reid. His attorney asked Judge King to dismiss the old grand jury and order a new or drawn for fear the contro versy would add to a delay In jut tice. .. . . After Venn and Atty. Gen. Rob 1 trt Y. Thornton supported this re ' quest, the jury was discharged and the new one immediately was drawn.' Then Judge King asked V e a a whether he wanted to withdraw ' his motion since a new grand jury had been drawn. Vena called for a -ruling; on the motion and it was denied. Judge King pointed out that a similar motion had been denied by him previously and that " the old grand jury already had ; been discharged. Rule Against Vena , Earlier the State Supreme Court ruled against Vena on the previ ous motion seeking discharge of the grand Jury. , ; Before his appointment as Judge, Reid had been aa attorney for Moody. In denying that he pot sessed funds allegedly embezzled from Moody, Reid said: "The only fund that ever came Into my hands was the regular fee which was charged Moody for the set- . tlcment of damages."
