The AaaorlatrS Pivaa If antltlaa aseiuatvtly ta th an h. for ncubllMlion of all aval mn ariataa) la inta -'Channel 3 is Salem's ', s From i itudy of a map prepared by the 'Storer Broadcasting Company, it appears to ' The Oregon Statesman that the pending deal " Whereby KPTV proposes to take over Chan " Del 3 ii virtual sellout of Salem's only VHP band on television. ' The map indicates the transmitter for Channel 3, which the Storer Company pro poses to substitute for KPTVs present less desirable UHF Channel 27, would be near West Linn, between Oregon City and Oswego, about 38 miles north-northeast of Salem and j 10 miles from downtown Portland. That means that Channel 3 probably would ; serve Salem all right, particularly since Port I land's other two TV stations and its projected KGW-TV would have transmitters in the same area and all receiving antennaes could be pointed the same way. But it would mean that 30 fewer miles to the south-southwest of Salem would be seiwed by Grade A reception i which, the map shows, would not extend to 1 such communities as Comllis, Albany, Leb- ' 2 anon and Valsetx major segments of the J Salem trading area. I True. KPTV and the Storer Company have J said KPTV's headquarters would be in Salem and probably the station would be announced , I as "KPTV Salem." But there seems little !' doubt the transmission is aimed at the Port land metropolitan area and that major busi- ness would be transacted there. It would, in fact, be a Portland station in most everything except name. We arent objecting to KSLM'i transferring ,of its Channel 3 permit to anyone who would I use it for serving the Salem area to which the channel was allocated. But we dont care -for the apparent subterfuge by which a Port land station proposes to take over Salem's 1 txhannel under the guise of making it a Salem tztation while at the same time keeping the ' Renter of transmission power nearly four times as fa; from Salem as from Portland. , -(W.W.) ! . . -- " "Maybe We've) Got Something - Maybe Salem has something with its River Bays.

She had tried to make ber way alone back to Cloud Cap Inn had taken the wrong side of Cooper Spur and gone down Cold Creek drainage instead of Tilly Jane Creek. Fortunately she didn't panic and exhaust herself in a desperate effort to reach civilization. Miss Nielsen was trsveling with a party of Chemeketans of Salem who had gone on after she became ill in making the climU This hiking organization has bad a wonderful safety record in its outings and climbs, which have included the highest peeks in the North west. No serious accident hss occurred on any of its hikes, a tribute to its good leadership and good discipline. The record is particu larly good when it is realized that many who join in these hikes sre tenderfeet who have to be instructed and guided until they gain experience. In this instance the Chemeketans might have followed the good practice of lesving a person with one unable to proceed on the trail. However, with the route visible and Cloud Cap Inn In sight that probably did not seem necessary. It is a good rule, neverthe less, ss is also the rule to have at least three on a hike in rough terrain. Then if one is injured another can remain with him while the third goes back to camp for sssistance. Miss Nielsen's experience can be under stood by all who have done much mountain climbing. The drainage all heads toward the top of the mountain. In coming down it is easy to get on the wrong side of a ridge, and . the farther one goes the farther one gets from the correct route. That is why markers are desirable, a rag on a stick or a small cairn to mark a trail, or a blaze on the side of trees In the woods. Our wilderness Is a great lure, and gives rich physical and spiritual rewsrds to those who visit it but It must be respected, whether mountain peak or desert, for the wilderness can be without mercy on one who loses nis way.

He declared our consti tutional form of government is under attack from Communists without and the Supreme Court within. Talmadge is another of the flannel-mouthed demagogues who have man aged to rise in politics in Southern states. He is not unique. Among his predecessors were men like Ben Tillman of South Carolina, Tom Dixon of Alabama, Bilbo of Mississippi. They have been more than offset, however, by oth ers from the South who have been disting uished statesmen and have msde important contributions to American political progress. ,. A columnist for the Des Moines Register , who is touring Russia wrote back a descrip tlon of Tito on his visit to the Soviet Union. Speaking of the Yugoslav boa, he wrote: "He - is now, I should say, a more kingly man than the Duke of Windsor, whom I've had a chance to observe several times, before and after he was king of England." Comparing Tito with Edward Is bad for the latter, who makes rath er a shrimplike appearance. Tito hss a big ' physique, dresses in style and plasters his breast with rows of medals. He has the strut of a man who likes power and claims atteav tion. The transmitter tower for KPTV, should the station take over Salem's Channel 3 TV band, would be located in the West Linn area, es indicated by dot on map, end tke "Grade A" reception area would be within the circle shown .according to a chart prepared by the Storer Company, present owner of KPTV which broadcasts on UHF Channel 27. "Grade B" reception would cover a wider area. (The "Grade B" area fQr KVAL Eugene extends north to Woodburn). KPTV has announced it would maintain headquarters in Salem, but its beam, as the map shows, would be designed to cover the Portland market eree rather than Salem's.

Fact is, Eisenhower 'could hardly make any other decisionu unless he was actually in physi cat distress. The time before the nominating convention and the November election is too short for a reexamination of possible candidatea. That was made pre viously without satisfactory re sult. The GOP simply doesn't have any substitutes of stature and popularity lo throw into the game at this juncture. A first-term president is pretty . much a prisoner of his party and his associates. He just can't let them down. If be is under attack, as was Harry Truman in IMS, his fighting instinct is roused and he will be a contender in defense ef his own' administration. With the polls showing Elsenhower still at a high level of popularity, and with world conditions still a challenge to his desire to forge a durable peace, Eisenhower agrees to stand again as the party candidate. Such is the favor in which be is held there seems lit tie doubt of his reelection. If this last operation does clear up his old intestinal trouble, and if he shows capacity again to assume the full duties of President, the doubts about his health will re cede, It does mean a sacrifice to him and his family. The presidency could add but little to his fame as the victorious general in the battle for Europe. It did offer him an opportunity to be of serv ice ' to his country and to the world. I am certain that be has consented to run again because of his personal dedication U that same ideal: a great desire to keep the United States on a safe, sane yet progressive course at home, and to help it lead the world on the path to peace with under standing and goodwill among na tions. Assuming his reelection, the country, will hope and pray that his. strength and his vision prove adequate for the task of the coming quadrennium. The survey wilt include a re- check of inventory of sanitary supplies and equipment in coun ties throughout the State; inspec tion of sites to be used as emer gency aid areas and welfare cen ters, organization of testing pro grams of chlorinators and other health engineering equipment.

But we're willing to bet that he has now made his last switch in motor carol ' For this time it's a Cadillac ! And it is historically true that once a motorist makes the move to the "car of cars", he is usually a Cadillac ownerfor life. What are the reasons for this great devotion and loyalty? Well, let us count them off. First of all, there are the things which tftryont recognizes in Cadillac. There is its great beauty ... its matchless luxury . . . and the unquestioned respect which the car commands the worl over. Then there are those qualities with which any one who has ever driven a Cadillac is familiar. There is its marvelous comfort and ease of han dling ... its magnificent power and performance a . and its wonderful balance and agility. And, finally, there are those things which only Cadillac owners themselves can fully appreciate. There is the car's remarkable economy of oper ation and upkeep its incredible longevity and its marvelous resale value. .
