WASHINGTON. Jan. 21-MVTo
that victory has placed upon this
country," President Truman to-
day budgeted $15,000,000,000 for
defence, occupation and war liqui
, dation ip fiscal 1947.
He noted that this "large sum"
is "10 fimes our expenditures for
defen$ before the war; it amounts
to about 10 per cent of our ex
pected national income."
if ,Jhrvrf in his mes-
sage A congress, that it empha-;
sizes "the great scope' for econo- I
my which he said would be ac- :
complisjhed by combining the war
and naVy departments, as he has
previously recommended.
1.000.000 Mrs Needed
The lestimates called for a
strength of 1,300,000 men in the
army ahd 500,000 in the navy for
tiits (sltndar year. These are the
July 1 jgoals after demobilization.
"In cjase the campaign for vol-
unteer
does not produce that
" Mr. Truman wrote, "it
necessary by additional
number
will be
legisltiiUrt to extend the selective
service j act beyond May 16, the
date of? expiration under existing
law.
"That is the only way we can
get the men and bring back our
veterans. There5M no other way.
Action along thin line should not
be postponed beyond March, in
order to avoid uncertainty and
disruption."
Other Expenses Set
The war and navy departments
themselves are expected to spend
$13,000,000,000. Detailed estimates
will go to congress later.
An additional $3,000,000,000 will
be spent by such agencies as the
maritime commission, war ship
ping administration, OPA and
UNRRA.
Regarding countries where our
troops sUll are stationed, the pres
ident said:,
Germany Effective controls
will be maintained until the peo
ple have regained the right to a
place of "honor and respect!" The
allied control council has not been
an "unqualified success" but hss
made encouraging progress.
Democratic Chins Sought
Japan The United States will
continue primary authority and
responsibility for control until the
people pick their own form of
government by a freely expressed
choice.
China Our basic policy in the
fat east is "to encourage the de
velopment of a strong, independ
ent, united and democratic China."
Korea Sovereignty will be re
stored and a democratic govern
ment established by free will of
the people as rapidly as practic
able. :
To congress, Mr. Truman made
these recommendations for:
Hawaii, statehood.
Alaska, statehood when it is
certain Alaskans want if.

future, 13,000,000 acres will be
ing that, within the memory of
farmers now operating in the val
ley there has been a considerable
change in the speed with which
the water runs down from the
hills.
Fifty thousand acres, out of 150,-
000 which could use it to advant
age, are now irrigated in the val
ley, MacGibbon said
The speaker traced the floods
from the great inundations of
1861 and 1890 to that which cov
ered the Marion-Polk county
bridge during a part of the last
week of 1945.
Had either the 1861 or 1890 flood
been repeated this winter the cost
would have mounted to $15,000,-
000, MacGibbon said
Patterns Of floods have varied
here, he pointed out, and the val
ley misses real disaster when the
snow in the various mountain
ranges melts at different times
and the crest of one tributary's
flood Is past before that of an
other reaches the Willamette.
MacGibbon traced the legisla
tion dealing with the surveys, re
ports, plans find appropriations for
today's $62,000,000 project, de
signed for flood control first of all,
then for drainage, irrigation,
stream purification and power de
velopment. He predicted that men
and women in the room would not
live to see all of the project come
to fruition.

Speakers Say
PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 2 !-(")-
Finance officers of Oregon cities
and sub-divisions suggested today
a revision of the state's 6 per cent
constitutional debt limitation Is
necessary for communities to meet
new municipal situations
Growth of smaller Oregon cities
during the war and predicted
growth of others require ability
to adjust schools and municipal
services quickly, speakers de
clared at today's sessions of the
League of Oregon Cities and Ore
gon Finance Officers association.
Gov. Earl Snell declared states
and sub-divisions must write a
"declaration of independence in
the administration of our own af
fairs." In meeting new demands
for services, parks, highways and
other civil facilities, local auton
omy must be preserved, he said;
a,ong with "the caPitlistic' com"

Waterfront Developments

(Story also on page 1)
! Proposed waterfront property development came before Salem
city council Monday night in a variety of forms, but no action wan
(taken.

jover" a $25-amonth lease for a 100 -

to put in sandnd gravel bunk
ers mere. Alderman uavia
O'Hara said.
Willard Taylor, who leases
moorage and property at the foot
of Chemeketa street for the Sa
lem boathouse, asked the council
to consider paying half the costs
for revetment and concrete steps
he would like to put in to replace
lighter construction partially de
stroyed by the December floods.
He asked that his request be re
ferred to committee so that the
committee might with him seek
authority from the army engin
eers for the work.
Asks Moorsce Increase
. C. E. Stoller of the Willamette
Towing company asked that the
100 foot moorage south of the
weather gauge, now leased for
towboats' use be increased to 300
feet. Unusually large log move
ments on the river make It neces
sary to tie up as many as 14 boats
there and the space Is not suffi
cient, he declared.
Both Tsylor's and Stoller's re
quests went to the real property
committee.
To committees also went a peti
tion for the opening of McCalip
road in the neighborhood of Lew
is and Howard streets, a request
from Macleay grange that the
City Sanitary Service be required
to cover its trucks when running
outside the city so that broken
glass and other waste would not
be scattered on the highway, a
complaint from a Front street
resident that the gas company had
refused to pipe gas into his resi
dence to serve a hot plate but
had demanded that he buy a gas
range and water heater, a peti
