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

were suggested and a few clerical
errors corrected. 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.

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.

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.

Fair Board Makes
Rigid Budget Rule
By LILUE L. 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.

payment for a horse killed at the
fairgrounds during the 1957 fair
was referred to the attorney urn.
eral's office.
Space in the center of the new
agriculture building will be pro
vided for the three ma tnr farm
organizations, the State Grange,

Bureau.

What Keeps
a Husband Faithful?
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. In June
