Baer, city commis sioner, last night demanded the resignation of Chief of Police Ken C. Gulick and City manager C. G. Reiter, after charging that lack of law enforcement in Bend had resulted in the sending of three youths to the state peni tentiary. The youths to whom Baer re- ferred were Bernard Alexander, 16, George Moreland, 21, and Ed T win James, 18, who pleaded gull ty In circuit court last week to charges of larceny from a per son. Alexander and Moreland were sentenced to two and a half years In the state penitentiary and James was sentenced to a two-year term.

The second mo tion also died without being seconded. Baer, before making his first motion, said the circuit judge had made a statement in sentencing the youths that the case was a result of lack of law enforcement in Bend. This morning, in commenting on the case, Circuit1 judge Ralph S. Hamilton said that his state ment in sentencing the youths Was "EYnm Cnma ennynn If their statements be true, these boys had obtained intoxicants. The person responsible had some measure of responsibility for the conduct of the boys." . Boer Qunted Baer said last night that "lack of law enforcement is sending youths to the state penitentiary and I ask the resignation of the chief of police for neglect of duty."

Speaking before the great of Eritain's empire, the handful of monarchs who still reign, and the ambassadors of foreign lands, Elizabeth gave to Philip Mount batten her pledge "to love, cherish and to obey, till death do us part." Like her illustrious great-great-grandmother, Victoria, Princess Elizabeth promised to obey be cause she wished to solemnize her marriage as a woman rather than as the future queen of Britain. Occasion Brilliant Despite postwar austerity and slate-colored skies it was the most brilliant occasion Britain had known since the days before the war. The young couple spoke their vows in the sanctuary of West minster in tones the same as countless young couples have spoken before. Elizabeth's words were tremulousquick and eager. Those of Philip Mountbatten, only last night created Duke of Edin burgh by his then father-in-law-to-oe, were low but firm. A million persons lined the his toric streets of London the Mall, Whitehall, Trafalgar Square and Parliament Square for the spec tacle, rney brone into cneers when- the royal couple, smiling and excited, emerged from the ancient abbey. Wait Around Fires Many had waited through the night beside campflres and hud dled in blankets to hold favored positions in the front row. Hun dreds of persons fainted or col lapsed in the crush particularly around the Cenotaph war memor ial in Whitehall. As the royal couple made their formal progress from the abbey back to Buckingham Palace they bowed and smiled to the crowds and Elizabeth waved gaily in re sponse to the cheers. The ceremony was carried through with clock-like precision. Within the abbey Elizabeth, ra diant in her glittering wedding gown, was the center of all eyes. Like manv brides before her she had a little trouble with its fabu lous 15-foot train. Once it snag ged briefly on a huge candelabra but the princess' little page boys, Prince Michael of Kent and Prince William of Gloucester, managed to free It. Philip Nervous Philip, obvlouslv nervous as any bridegroom, watched the train anxiously as the couple made their progress out or the abbey, out no more mishaps occurred. The carillon of Westminster Abbey rang out In the joyous tones of "God Save the King" as the ceremony was completed and the royal processions started back to Buckingham Palace, where the wedding breakfast was held. For the first time the royal wed ding ceremony was carried to ev ery part of the British empire as well as to the United Stales by radio while television and movie cameras recorded the occasion.

Nearly $80,000; 400 More 'Phones Coming Installation of additional switchboard and other central office equipment will be started in the Bend telephone quar ters nt 841 Bond street soon after space is provided there by the removal of the business office to 917 Wall street. Relocation of the business office is expected to be completed sometime before the end of this year. II. C. Kerron, manager here for The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company, who made the announcement, said the new equipment will cost near $80,000 and will provide fa cilities for serving an nddi- flnmtl Atl nlmitinnnu In Via ' Bend area. Full use of the added central office equipment possibly will be further delayed, Kerron pointed out, because of contin uing shortages of cable and other outside plant necessary to reach suburban residents. Big Sum Spent Indicating that much plant ex tension work already has been done, Kerron said $50,000 now is being spent for projects provid ing new poles, cable and aerial wire in the Bend exchange. He estimated projects of this nature planned for this year and next are approximately 70 per cent complete. The new central office equip ment, which includes five posi tions of long distance switchboard and two positions for handling lo cal calls, is expected to be install ed and ready for service early in April. A major portion of the outside plant' work also is sched uled for completion by that time and together, according to Ker ron, they should "go far toward materially reducing the number of applications for service now on file." Serves 8,500 Phones The Bend office presently Is serving nearly 3,500 telephones, compared with fewer than 2,900 a year ago a gain of better than 600 telephones for the period. Average daily calls originating in the Bend exchange have Increased from under 14,000 at this time last year to over 16,000 now. Long distance calls alone now are run- nine better than 1.000 per day, which is nearly 100 mote than the daily average tor tne oprrospona ing month of 1946, Quarters to be used at 917 Wall street are those at present used by the Michaelson store.

Ex-Air Force Major Denies He Reaped Wartime Profits From Contracting Business Testimony Entirely False, Asserts Meyers In Appearance Before Investigating Group; Attorney General Says Indictment Probable Washington, Nov. 20 iU.E) Retired air force Maj. Gen. Bennett E. Meyers today denounced as "entirely false" charg es that he reaped lush wartime profits through ownership of a subcontracting firm. Justice department spokesmen, however," said that they may seek criminal indictments against Meyers and also against his associates in the Aviation Electric Co. This is the .firm that Meyers owned secretly. The chubby former chief of Uie air force's materiel com mand testified before a son- ate war investigating subcom mittee which had heard tcsti mony that he : 1. Netted more than $131,- 000- during the war from the Aviation Electric Co. of Van dalia: 0 partly as a result of $1,053,000 in subcontracts he allegedly got for the com pany. 2. Bought $4,000,000 worth of war bonds on one per cent mar gin and made a paper profit of $90,000 In one deal. Meyers had given this testimony himself. 3. Gave Robert Cuse, president of the Vlmalert Co., Jersey City, N. J., a $-170,000 air force engi neering contract after Cuse had loaned him $25,000 for war bond speculation. Cuse said he has got oacK oniy $a,uuo so lar. Denial Voiced Meyers vehemently denied tes timony about his alleged owner ship of Aviation Electric and "kickbacks" therefrom which had been given by B. H. Lamarre, who said he got $50 a week as the firm's president and T. E. Readnower, its $25-a-week vice president. "I will state without equivoca tion that Lamarre and Readnow- er's testimony is entirely false ex cept for the repayments of loans from the corporation loans that I made on notes from it and ex cept for personal' repnyrnwits-'O-t loans to Mr. and Mrs. Lamarre prior to Dec. 31, 3940. Concerning Lamarre and Read nower, tne general said: "If I am guilty of any wrong doing, then they are certainly equally guilty. It Is Inconceivable that they would be content with their small salaries and never re ceive anything from the Aviation Electric Corp." Making Inquiry Justice department sources, In this connection, said they were making a swooping inquiry into the activities of "everyone con nected with him-In the deal to see If prosecution is warranted. In Indianapolis last night At torney general Tom C. Clark told reporters that the Justice depart ment would seek an Indictment of Meyers on Income tax evasion charges as soon as the subcom mittee completes Its healings. Justice department spokesmen in Washlnglon said they are work ing closely wilh the cornmil lee and are investigating the possi bility of obtaining criminal In dictments against Meyers on oili er charges as well.
