Humphreys said he visits Bend every two or three months to as sist local inspectors. Bend plumb ers, he finds, conform to code practices and do good work. Nearly all of the violations found have been in homes con structed by individuals for their -own use or sale. These violations are either wilful or through Ig norance, Humphreys said. Copies of the state plumbing code are available from the state board of health, county sanitarian and city building Inspector, he added.

Whitney, Rail Brotherhood President Once Enemy of Truman, Pays White House Visit ft t i.Ti " PROPOSES POLL , --"Mun, jan 21 (IP) Ha "f.trln Proposed today ih . of hls musicians to if . hey " behind his . nst record-making. Washington, Jan. 21 iw President Truman's left-of-ccntor campaign year program is begin ning to pay off today with labor. Labor and the left wing are Henry A. Wallace's target for his third party which, at most, can not do much in 1948 except help the republicans to elect a presi- d6A parade of labor and left wing leaders Into the White House is on the way now as the presiden tial campaign begins. A. F. Whitney, president of the Independent Brotherhood of Rai road Trainmen, is the most sign cant of recent recruits to Presi dent Truman and his program. In Mav, 1946. when the prps'dent broke 'the railway strike Whitney promised vengeance. He said his union would spend "millions to defeat" President' Truman in 1948. But Whitney emerged from the White House yesterday announc ing he'd had a wonderful talk with the president. He said he was for President Truman's elec tion and predicted any of the re publican hopefuls could be licked this year. "Senator Taft would be the soft, est bet." said Whitney, predicting that the top presidential cam paign issues would be cost of liv ing and the Taft-Hartley labor control act. Whitney came here fresh from resigning from the Progressive Citizens ol America, the left wing outfit which with the communist party is most active in Wallace's presidential effort. Whitney re jected the third party movement on grounds It was unr?allstlc. It developed that Whitney was brought here by the democratic national committee. He was squired to the White House by Gael Sullivan, executive director of the committee. Committee chairman J. Howard McGath, In a back and forth of questions added: "I am going to mend all the fences I can mend." That suggests that as strayed political lambs may drop out of the Wallace movement they will be getting a quick invitation to come to Washington and talk it over in the White House.

Father Flanagan's far-famed village for the rehabili tation of problem youths. Accom panying him on the trip was How ard S.

Deputy sheriff Harry Johnson took Page and the boy to Red mond last night and J. W. Schrunk met them and drove the pair to The Dalles, whore they boarded a train. Cecil admitted putting strych nine in lunch-box sandwiches which caused the death of his fa ther, Joseph V. Snyder, 59. De cember 12. The boy told officers that his father had punished him severely and made threats against his life. Wiilo Attention Attracts The boy's plight attracted wide, spread attention, and numerous sympathizers sent cards and let ters to Sheriff C. L. McCauley and District attorney A. J. Moore, urging clemency for the lad. Cash gifts, totaling $23, had been re ceived from interested persons, and this money was turned over to the Page, who was appointed by the court as the boy's legal guardian. Duncan L.

He objected to the Har mon location on the basis that the swimming pool would ag gravate the traffic problem on Harmon, would reduce the amount of access to Mirror pond and would take a large playground area away from Ken wood school and children on the west side. Several other com missioners a creed with Sexton that the new area might be more aesiraoie for the cwimming pool. However, the matter was not brought to a vote last night. - Plans Still Good Mayor Hans Slaesvold said a change in location of the pool would Ipvolve no changes In swimming pool plans being pre pared by John W. Cunningham and associates, of Portland.

Objection Voiced A strong objection was voiced by Commissioner W. J.

The national guard has requested a lease from the city and proposes to erect a quon set building to serve as tempo rary quarters for Company I. Baer said the site "should be used for an up-to-date armory or nothing," and added that a tempo rary building would delay the con struction of a permanent armory In Bond. He later added that an other location away from the cen ter of town might be found. "If they're going to build a quonsot hut, lot them build It In a quonset place," Baer said. A conference with state offi cers nf the national guard Is plan ned for today when the officers are In Bend for a Company I rally scheduled for tonight. Inspections Asked Baer requested that Fire chief LoKoy S. Fox be requested to make inspection of all public buildings, such as schools, gym nasiums, dance halls and thea ters, and to make a written report to the commission. Baer said the commission should find out If any fire traps exist in the city, and said he wished he had called for the inspections earlier so that a report could have been made be fore the school bond election on Monday. The commission recommended that $3,000 be placed In the city budget for 1948-49 to support a municipal band.

'Birdman Seen, Woman Reports Chehalis, Wash., Jan. 21 (Ul Tho state of Washington, where the first flying saucers were re ported outdid itself today. A woman reported that she had sighted a "flying man." Mrs. Bornlce Zalkowski, 61, Chehalis, said she saw a man with wings attached to his back fly over her barn at an altitude of 200 feet and disappear to the south. Mrs. Zalkowski said the upright blrdmnn made a "slzzing and whizzing" noise as he climbed and banked in flight, but that his wings neither flapped nor rotated. She said she could see no motive power such as a propeller either above or In front of him. Authorities greeted the report with an oblique "huh?" Gets Good View But the Polish-born Mrs. Zalk owski insisted she had a good view of the aeriallst as he skim med her barn on Jan. 6. She said that some school children were with her at the time and ran to her back yard "for a better view." Officials at McChord field, Ta coma, said that If the army had any "birdmen" It was news to them. Chehalis Is not far from where the original "flying saucers" were reported about a year ago. German Workers on Strike In Coal-Rich Ruhr Territory Nuernberg, Jan. 21 Uli-An es timated 200,000 Gorman workers struck In the coal-rich Ruhr and In the American zone today in protest against food conditions. More than 100,000 Industrial and office workers walked out In the big Rhinoland city of Col ogne and a similar hunger strike was reported to have brought out a number of workers In nearby r.ssen. The Cologne strike was expected to last throughout the day. Thirty thousand metal work ers struck for a half day In Nuern berg starting at noon and union leaders said that the city's entire labor force with the exception of transport workers would Join In. There was no accurate estimate available of the number of Nuern berg strikers. The city's popula tion Is about 400,000. The food shortage, according to Allied officials, Is the result of flaws ln German food collections and distribution. Food unrest originated In tho Rhur when tho area's fat ration could not bo fulfilled for three wooks recently. To molify the In dustrial workers, food authorities reduced rations in the American zone In fuvor of tho Ruhr. Strikes then began In tho American zone. At least 30,000 strikers are ex pected to demonstrate In Nuern berg's principal square, the Hntipt market, during the nfternoon In protest against the state govern ment's refusal to adopt tho Ba varian union's seven-point food collection plan. This program demands state confiscation of all food, closing of luxury restaurants and other austerity measures.
