A
diter for permission to start con
struction on the $90,000 building
planned for Sixteenth Ave. and
Willamette St. was denied Tues
day. Retiuests for a permit had
twice been turned down by the
Oregon CPA office.
Materials Donated
Hickens said that donations of
lumber and labor for the build
ing have been offered. Comment
ing on the denial of the construc
tion appeal, Hickens said that fed
eral agencies "don't have much to
say" when race tracks and road
houses are built.
"If we could get together with
those people in Washington and
talk to them," Hickens continued,
"we might get something done."
Urey Silent
Clarence Urey, chairman of the
general committee in charge of
plans for the project, said he had
"no statement to make when
questioned on the activities of
workmen on the site of the pro
posed structure Wednesday morning.
Frank Strong, in charge of fi
nancing the project, likewise had
"no comment" on future plans. He
said that workmen probably were
obtaining estimates of ground levels.
Strong also said that he knew
the "real" reason for denial of the
appeal, but would not clarify this
assertion. Portland CPA officials
said Tuesday that the denial was
probably based on the belief that
the building was of a recreational
nature and that Its postponement
would not be a community hard
ship.
Lindy Flight
20 Years Ago
NEW YORK UB Twenty
years ago Wednesday, at 8:21 p.m.
EST, a slender, 25-year-old air
mail pilot set his single-engined
monoplane down at LeBourget
Field outside of Paris to complete
the first non-stop flight from New
York to Paris.
A mighty roar of triumph from
the 100,000 persons waiting in the
cold greeted the intrepid flier who
stepped out of the plane and said
simply:
"Well, I guess I made it."
The flier was Capt. Charles A.
Lindbergh. "Lucky Lindy," they
called him after that.
Lindbergh planned no special
observance of the anniversary
Wednesday. He was motoring
through the Arizona desert coun
try with his wife, the former
Anne Morrow, who was recuper
ating from a recent operation.

zation would receive Savage, In
view of his criticism of the Presi

Hodge Gives Talk
As Parley Resumes
SEOUL U.R)Lt. Gen. John R.
Hodge, American commander in
Korea, reopened meetings of the
Joint Soviet-American commission
Wednesday with a strong plea for
harmony and the early establisn
ment of a provisional Korean government.
We are here to carry out the
promises of the great powers to
re-form and rebuild Korea as a
sovereign and independent state,"
Hodge suid. "Those promises were
summarized and crystallized m
Moscow In December of 1845."
Russian Pledge
Col. Gen. T. F. Shtikov, chief
Soviet delegate, said Russia was
certain that Korea would develop
"along democratic lines" in ac
cordance with the Moscow deci
sions and that it "will become an
Independent state and will join
the tiimily of peace-loving nations
as an equal member." He said
the Soviet delegation "will mHke
every effort for the speediest and
exact carrying out of the Moscow
decisions on Korea."
Hodge suid it was agreed that
provisions of the, accord were to
be implemented by the joint com
mission "working under the prin
ciples of democratic freedom of
expression and opinion."
Morse Says Nation
Must Do Its Share
CHAPEL HILL, N. C I)
The decline of the United States
will be recorded as beginning in
1947 unless America accepts "the
price of peace," Sen. Wayne Morse
(R?Ore) said here Tuesday night.
The present trend, he told a
University of North Carolina au
dience, is "rapidly becoming a
course of economic isolation" and
If it continues, "time will pass us
by."
The people, he said, must give
thought to the part this country
is to play In international affairs
a part to be determined In large
measure in the next six years.
This, he said, was why "I stress
the importance to our nation of
the present 80th Congress."
Morse alternately flayed the
Congress and the people for the
isolationist trend he said was developing.
song and presents on his 78th
birthday and accused by C. E. Mc
Lean of being a juvenile delin
quent, Kratt explained the pur
pose behind modern music.
Discard Form
"Ultra modern composers," he
explained, "have discarded ail
form and write their music ac
cording to whatever come into
their minds." He played a short
modem composition called "The
Streamlined Train," and pointed
out that it could be classed as
"utilitarian."
"Like modern art," he said, "it
was never meant to appeal to the
emotions. It must be understood
by the listener just what the piece
is intended to describe. And if it
is expressed sincerely and in good
taste, then it is art."
Ugliness as well as beauty have
a place in modern art, Dean Kratt
asserted, "because our ideas of
beauty and ugliness are constant
ly changing."
Express Shifts
He maintained that modern mu
sic and art are simply an expies
sion of the world of art moving
along in step with the modern
world of gadgets and other new
inventions.
The Lions voted to refer to the
board of directors an appeal from
the Pageant Assn. that the Lions
be responsible for selling 50 Pa
geant buttons at $2 each, to help
finance a Pageant float in the
Portland Rose Festival parade.
