Roland Harriman told the 33rd . annual convention of the Ameri can Red Cross Monday that the organization is walking a financial tightrope. . He said purse strings were tight ening all over the country and 'greater organizational efficiency is needed. There were some 4,000 delegates on hand from all of the 'states, Hawaii, Alaska and Puer to Rico. Red Cross officials said the fed eral government has agreed to pay a major share of Red Cross furnished blood costs in the fu- .ture. The cost per pint is estimat ed by the Red Cross as $6. The government will pay $4.50 of this. ' Last year this would have meant additional income of more man $564,750 for the Red Cross. Harriman predicted this year's Red Cross fund raising campaign will fall short of its 95 million dollar goal. But, he said, the total will be substantially better than last year, when 85 million dollars was collected.

Twice since then it has exceeded 25 feet. Husband Found Guilty of Selling Miss Burns Dope LOS ANGELES (JH Barbara Burns' husband was found guilty Monday of selling her heroin. David J. Mack, 27, film tech nician, faces a possible five-year-to-life prison term. Miss Burns, 20," daughter of the late comedian Bob Burns, took the stand briefly as a state witness. Her testimony was to establish she was a minor. Last week she served one day of a five-day sentence imposed when she showed up 45 minutes late for the trial. At that time she refused to testify against Mack on the grounds of self-incrimination. Mack was accused of selling heroin to Barbara when she was only 19. A narcotics officer testi fied Miss Burns told him she bought the heroin from Mack for $30. The couple married secretly last month in Nevada while Mack was awaiting trial.

A large number of casualties was reported when bombs ' ex ploded in two crowded vegetable markets opened by dealers in de fiance of the strike. Security forces quickly moved into the area and arrested 150. Another bomb rocked a clothing bazaar behind the municipal building. Gangs in Autos Gangs in automobiles patrolled the streets, firing shots above shops that opened. Security forces kept mobs from forming but were unable to cope with the hit-and-run tactics of small bands. The terrorism had the desired effect on most people. Bazaars emptied immediately and shops closed. In most of the city the strike was more effective than at any time in the last three days. The public was beginning to feel the pinch. Tripoli, where heavy fighting had been under way for several days, was reported quiet. At least 60 persons were killed in riots there over the weekend. Security forces and about 2,000 tough mountaineers took the of fensive against an opposition band of Druse tribesmen in the Chouf Mountain area. They struck with mortars and howitzers. Started 10 Days Ago The rioting against Chamoun's leadership began 10 days ago in Tripoli. Since then 150 to 200 per' sons have been killed in pitched battles, sniping, riots and bomb ing. Many of Lebanon's Moslems want the little Mediterranean country to align itself with Presi dent Nasser's United Arab Repub lic. They fear that Chamoun, a Christian, will have the constitu tion amended so he can be elected in September to another six-year term. Chamoun has charged the U. A. R. incited the revolt and assisted anti-government rioters. The country is about half Chris tian and half Moslem. By agree ment, the president is a Christian and the premier a Moslem.

"Increasing numbers of people have been going to church since World War II," commented Dr. Franklin Clark Fry, titular head of 70 million Lutherans, as he ar rived here Monday to attend an nual convention of Pacific Synod of Lutheran churches. "Some have turned to religion because of a sense of insecurity bred in an age of terrible weapons and the cold war," went on the big, affable man who also is a chairman of the powerful central committee of the Protestants' World Council of Churches. "The challenge and the obliga tion of churches is to teach the newcomers who come to listen, so that they will be something more than just listeners." Dr. Fry pointed out that religion has grown even behind the Iron Curtain.

Harold Tomlinson, member of Marion County's budget com mittee, from Salem, Monday ex pressed the opinion that "no bud get should exceed last year's amount." The committee began a three-day session to study budget requests. It is time we hold the line, Stockholders Okeh PG&C Name Change PORTLAND W Stockholders of the Portland Gas & Coke Co. Monday approved a change in the firm's corporate name to North west Natural Gas Co. The change will be made in July. President Charles H. Gueffroy said the firm plans to expand its operations into several Oregon cities soon. He mentioned specifi cally the Eugene-Springfield area and The Dalles, where, he said, gas systems now are being ac quired. Ike, Dewey In Conference WASHINGTON l President Eisenhower and Thomas E. Dewey former New York governor, talked Monday about the tense interna tional situation and other sub jects. Dewey, now in private law prac tice, reported after the 30 minute White House conference that he and Eisenhower had a general dis cussion. He added in reply to a question that it did not touch on the U. S. political picture. Asked whether he and the Presi dent went over the international picture, Dewey replied "only in part." Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, one of Europe's largest Protestant edi fices. "The Orthodox Church has made great strides in Russia itself since World War II," the Lutheran lead er added. On the matter of discontinuance of nuclear weapon tests, Dr. Fry reiterated the recommendation of the World Council of Churches that the major powers cease such tests to alleviate tensions. "The path of peace," he said, "is a slippery one, with deep gorges on either side. Provocations can be so numerous." Dr. Fry added that save 50$ Tomlinson continued. He also ex - oressed the possibility of curtail- ing departmental services, but not to the point of cutting salaries. The committee failed to agree on salary amounts after being pre sented information from a recent State Civil Defense classification study of county job positions. . Salaries Below Surrey Scale On the basis of the classification salary range, 43 county employes, 35 of them in the road department, are receiving wages below the be ginning amounts suggested by the survey. To bring these employes to the beginning wage would cost $9,504 in additional wages, said Judge Hartley. A further suggestion by Hartley was that the committee approve salary increases for 143 employes to bring all county positions to the fourth step in a six-step plan to reach maximum salaries. This would cost an additional $48,030. Decision Today The committee took the wage problem under advisement for a decision this morning at 9 a.m. As most departmental budgets in volve salary increases, no com plete departmental amounts were approved Monday. However, the budget committee tentatively approved the county school superintendent's office bud get of $41,692, an increase of $3,345 over last year, with the provision of salary adjustments when the policy is determined. Other action included. Cut $40,000 from the $100,000 re quested by Harold Domogalla, county assessor, for completion of the county property reassessment program. Cut $2,000 from the county as sessor s office equipment request of $5,000. Bloodhound Funds Okehed Granted Sheriff Denver Young an additional $100 for jail supplies.

During the conven tion, one hour each day, starting at 11 a.m., will be set aside in honor of Dr. Fry.

Robert Elf strom accused the' State Game Commission here Monday night of trying to circumvent the will of the legislature by halting the stock ing of Mill Creek. A member of the Legislative In terim Committee on fish and game, he spoke at a meeting at Izaak Walton clubhouse protesting the commission s recent decision to stop planting the creek which the legislature set aside in 1951 for anglers under 18 years old. Says Commission Acted too Fast "The commission moved too fast," he said, adding, it should have given more notice and held public hearings before acting. Walter Leth, Polk County sena tor and member of the same com mittee, agreed that the committee had acted abruptly and contended with Elfstrom that when the law was passed it had been understood that planting the stream would con tinue. Van Winkle said no such under standing has been made, but Elf strom stated the commission had set precedent by continuing to stock Mill creek for the seven succeed' ing years. Vic Wirthrow, president of the Salem Izaak Walton chapter, and Rex Sanford, past president, both said the program which the club sponsored had been "very success ful' in Salem and, Sanford said, Walton members had been out on weekends helping youngsters learn proper fishing and good sportsman ship. Wirthrow said he believed Mill Creek was fishing domain for much of Marion, County and not just Sa lem, and that the turnout of kids was higher than Van Winkle sug gested. Several spoke warmly of the Mill Creek as a place where youth can find the outdoor spirit that has, as Sen. Leth said, "helped build America." Wayne Sipe of Salem said he would be willing to pay more mon ey if needed because "fishing makes kids good." "A kid who spends the weekend with a fishing pole in his hands won't have to face the judge Monday morning." Salmon Ban on Columbia Ends PORTLAND OT) A ban on Co lumbia River commercial salmon fishing will end Tuesday at p.m. The Oregon Fish Commission and the Washington Department of fisheries agreed at a joint meeting Monday that future salm on runs would no longer be en dangered if fishing resumed.

Officials said enough salmon, more than 60,000, had made their way past Bonneville Dam to up- river spawning grounds. The season will be open until noon ot May 27. 100 Four-Leaf Clovers Bound to Bring Luck Soon The James Kelley family at 4410 Monroe Ave. NE, think they have about the luckiest yard in Salem.

Anderson (D - NM) Monday night described the Soviet space satellite program as amazingly similar to one drafted by the Air Force in 1955 but pigeon-holed by the Defense Depaartment. Anderson said the discarded Air Force "world series" program called for the launching of .a sat ellite in July 1957 similar to Sputnik I. The final "worlds Se ries" satellite would have equaled the lVt ton Sputnik III launched by the Russians last Thursday. "It would make you think they found the (Air Force) notes lying around," Anderson told inter viewers in a transcribed Mutual radio program, "Reporters Roundup." Asked whether he implied Rus sian espionage was responsible, Anderson replied, "I only say that they came out with the. same thing." Anderson, senior Senate Demo crat on the Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee and a persis tent critic of U. S. atomic - sat ellite policys, aid it will be three to five years before this country perfects a nuclear propulsion plant for satellites.
