Two or three minor changes City Treasurer To Have New Title Next Week City Treasurer Howard D. Brand- void next week will become Direc tor of Finance Howard D. Brand void. The three-word title is written Into the city charter by action of the voters last Friday in approv ing a charter change that had the principal effect of doing away with an elected city treasurer and mak ing that post an appointive one under the city manager. That's the way all other city de partment heads are at present. The only elective city officials will be the municipal Judge, mayor and eight aldermen. City Manager Kent Mathewson confirmed Wednesday that Brand void would continue, in appointed capacity, with the same duties as at present. Brandvold had been a candidate for re-election, but now his name will not have to go on the Novem ber ballot again. City Council will receive the. official city vote can vass Monday. As soon as the mayor-then officially proclaims the election result, Brandvold becomes an appointee. Chairman of State GOP to Make Talk State Republican chairman James F.

Recommendations will be worked out by study committees in the two-day meet on party platform proposals. Delegates from Benton and Linn Counties are among those who will take part. ATTEMPTED BREAK-IN TOLD Mrs. Marvin E. Klampe, 1136 15th St. NE, reported to police that someone tampered with a lock on the back door of her residence re cently.

The entire com mittee of 16 members, scheduled to meet at 7:90 p.m. next Tuesday, is expected to give final budget ap proval. Budget Chairman Edward E Roth said Wednesday be had heard nothing but praise for the mana ger's budget and bad no indication of any opposition. groups seeking budget changes. 6 Per Cent Increase Mathewson submitted his budget proposal May 12. It would carry on municipal government at the same level of service and would confine general fund tax revenue increase to the 6 per, cent increase allowed by law without a vote. Two changes in the budget are suggested by developments of the past two days. One it Willamette Ambulance Service'! request to take over city first aid service on a contract ba sis. Its proprietor, J. Harol Brown, maintains it might save the city as much as f 18,000. CeucO's Boslaess The first aid proposal la up to the City Council, which meets next on Monday. Budget Chairman Roth, who is one of the aldermen. said he did not expect this issue to be discussed by the budget com mittee, as it would be within Coun cil s Jurisdiction. Should the Council go for the pro posal and should it result in a sav ings, Roth indicated, that amount would accrue as surplus to help balance the following year a budg et. Second change is that a $900 item probably will be added to the budget to share in pairing graduate student who will be as signed here for six months as part of his training in public adminis tration. Opportunity Knocks Just this week Salem was given the opportunity by Penn's Wharton School of Finance in Philadelphia. Councilman and bndsetmakers were polled and found sympathetic with the internship idea that has be come widely practiced in recent years. City Manager Mathewson told aldermen the trainee w 0 u 1 d be used on special projects that might include the proposed study on in tergovernmental cooperation. The city budget includes a new assistant city engineer but no oth er additional personnel except some part-time help in recreation and some other departments. Less labor is expected to be needed by the engineering department be cause of a decline in assessed con struction projects. Staff Budgets Okehed Budgets approved by Alderman E. S.

AP) Christendom Faces Increasing Role Of a Minority Throughout World Christendom is fast approaching the time when it will be a minority in influence as well as in popula tion in the world, the leader of 50,000,000 Lutherans said here Wednesday. Dr. Franklin Clark Fry of New York told a convention of Lutheran ministers and lay leaders of the Pacific synod, that several of the rising nations in the world are eith er secular or non-Christian. "Of the great powers in this world 100 years from now, how many will be Christian?" he ask ed. "Does any one doubt that China will be one of the greatest powers? Does any one doubt that another will be the USSR?" Dr. Fry Is president of the Lu theran World Federation and of the United Lutheran Church. Barriers are already being put to new Christian missionaries in India, he said. Those missionaries admitted must be specialists ln other fields, such as agriculture or medicine. And they are allowed to stay only until natives can be trained to take their place, he said. Some pressure is being placed on native Christians, he said, to cease proselytizing and Western Christianity soon may not be al lowed to send money for mission work in India. Dr. Fry proposed an all-out development of native leadership in foreign countries. Churches in the mission field have put too much reliance on outside workers, he declared. He pointed to a seminary in Hong Kong for Chinese Christian leaders as an example of the type of work' the Christian world should be doing to promote its religion. The convention, which closes to day, elected several Salem min isters and lay leaders. The Rev. Mark Getzendaner and O. A. Nel son were named to the synodical board. The Rev. John L. Cauble and Nelson were named delegates to the convention of the United Lutheran Church in America Oct 8-15 at Dayton, Ohio. Rev. Cauble was re-elected presi dent of the southern conference of 1 the synod. Statesman, Salem, Ore., Thurs., May 22, '58 (Sec. I)-3 95t7? Sacred Heart Academy Class to Graduate June 3; Class Contains 42 Girls The second all-girl class since 1929 will graduate June 3 from Sacred Heart Academy, one of Salem's oldest educational institu tions. ' Forty two graduates in the 95th class since the Catholic school was established in 163 will receive diplomas at an 8:15 commence ment exercise at st. josepn s Aua itorium.

Baccalaureate mass will be :15 a.m. June 1 at St. Vincent de Paul Oregon Guard Skeptical of Army's Plan Oregon National Guard officials in Salem received with some skep ticism Wednesday a report from Army chief of staff Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor that the Army's plan for disbanding six National Guard divisions has been abandoned. Taylor told a governors confer ence in Miami, f la., mat tne Army will retain all of the nation's 27 Guard and 10 Reserve divisions provided they can be maintained "with no increase of cost or per sonnel beyond currently pro grammed levels." The interpretation here is that actual Guard strength will still undergo the scheduled cut from 400,000 to 360,000 because of re strictions on drill pay. "Our under standing is that drill pay for only 360,000 is authorized," a Guard spokesman said. MacLAREN TALK BILLED Vernon Merrick, formerly with the administrative staff at Mac Laren School at Woodburn. will talk on intermediate institutions at a Thursday noon meeting of Salem Sertoma at Hotel Marion.

MADSEN Farm Editor, The Statesman Superintendents of State Fair departments must stay within the budgets provided by the State Fair Commission, that Commission ruled at its Wednesday meeting. Mrs. Elmer Berg, commission chairman, reported that at least one superintendent has been "re calcitrant in remaining within the budget. However, the board ruled that there can be no excep tions.. Budgets were high for the 1957 fair, the commission pointed out because we were new and we were also faced with considerable capital outlay." To maintain a balanced budget "we must have the cooperation of all superintend ents." Mrs. Berg Insisted. Most of them "have been very coopera live." jhe added. Meet Budgets Increased With the exception of livestock and the floral division, all open class budgets were increased 6H per cent to cover the extra two days of fair. The livestock budget earlier had been given a 30 per cent increase in premium money and the floral department, which had overstepped its budget last year because of necessary con struction, was retained at the 1957 figure. A $4,000 capital outlay was ap proved for remodeling the former 4-H and FFA building into an agricultural display space. An other $1680 item was provided for the new Crafts and Hobby depart ment A part of the implement building space will be converted into a rabbit and pigeon exhibit at a cost of $1652, to prevent necessity for a split poultry show which was not popular last year with poultry exhibitors. Centennial Farm Day Planned A Centennial Farm Day will be set aside at the fair, the exact day to be worked out by Howard Maple, state fair manager, with Governor Holmes and State Agri cultural Director Robert Steward. Action at a former commission meeting which pared the adver tising and publicity budget was rescinded Wednesday when the commission voted to increase its former figure by $4000. With the increase went the commission's recommendation to emphasize ad vertising in Salem trading .area newspapers, in all state weeklies, and in farm publications. Boat Show Announcements were made that the boat show would b held in Dartion of the former marhlnarv building, foreign cars would be display ea in ine Arcaae in a space which was vacant last year; sewer lines will be extended to an area at the northeast end of the fair grounds to provide for 65 addi tional trailer house connections. RMUMt from Tnm Whh tnr payment for a horse killed at the fairgrounds during the 1957 fair was referred to the attorney urn. eral's office.

Experts are finding that a man's fidelity in marriage is intimately related to his ma ture capacity to love.-Most marriage counsellors agree that the reasons men give for being unfaithful are self-deceptive and usually conceal deeper and less pleasant urges.
