thur Lee as a diplomatic agent lr

on the establishment of the Ameri
can form of government.

land brought greetings from the or
ganization there. Several member
were present from Portland, Albany
and Corvallis. Wives of members

DOCK CONTRACT
fBy United Preai)
Pacific coast seamen were report
ed 'today to be preparing to ballot
on the question of renewing their
present agreement with steamship
operators, thereby dropping their
demands for changes In the con
tract and eliminating a source of
many disputes.
'The proposed referendum would
be held tinder the auspices of the
maritime federation of the Pacific.
The S. S. Admiral Senn Is tied up
In Oakland by the demand of the
seamen for cash compensation in
stead of time off for overtime work
The demand formed part of the
schedule of changes the seamen's
affiliated unions proposed and
operators rejected. The same ques
tion temporarily held two Dollar
liners In port In San Francisco last
week.
A new source of trouble was
brewing in the Pacific northwest,
where longshoremen have declared!
an embargo on the products of the
Fisher flouring mills of Seattle. The
embargo was effective In Seattle,
Tacoma and- Portland and was
based on a strike at the Fisher
mills. Seattle longshoremen will an
nounce Tuesday whether they will
continue the boycott.
Registration of additional long
shoremen proceeded in San Fran
cisco, with men holding temporary
permits getting preference.
Peace appeared near In two San
Francisco strikes, those of auto
mechanics and employes of the
Simmons Co., manufacturers of
mattresses and other bedroom fur
nishings. WAR DEPARTMENT

Joe Louis, who quickly disposed

Yankee stadium, who returned to
Salem late Saturday after a trip
of some 8000 miles by automobile.
Dr. Barrick, accompanied by his
wife, spent five weeks on the trip
which carried him to the Atlantic
seaboard. Louis possesses all of the
skill, punching power and ring gen
eralship credited to him by the
sport writers, Dr. Barrick declares.
The spectacle of the huge throng
which jammed the stadium was well
worth the price of admission, with

good view of the ring which was

ANSWER FILED IN
TURNER HOME CASE
A memorandum brief filed by at
torneys of the Turner Memorial
Home In the case against It brought
by First Christian church of Turner .
seeking to have the church re-1
instated as trustee of the Davis old
people's home in place of the Turner
Memorial Home as tiustee, alleges
that the board of directors of the
church has no authority to institute
the proceedings. The brief contends
that the only body having such au
thority are the corporators or trus
tees or their successors and that
these present corporators are Wil
liam Butzke, Fred Brown and Ray
mond TitUS.
The memorandum brief declares
that even if the entire membership
of the church should vote to have
the board of directors bring such lit
igation it would not vest such di
rectors with the power to do so or
even If the board of directors was
elected by the entire membership of
the church. The brief recites the his
tory of the litigation and situations
leading upo it.
SAVED FROM DEATH
AT BONNEVILLE
Bonneville, Ore., Oct. 21 W) An I
amazing victory over death was
scored Sundny by Elmer Scigfried,
24, who saved his partner from al
most certain suffocation In a gi
gantic sand hopper.
J. C. Jordan, 30, working at the
Bonneville dam construction, fell
into the hopper, Just as It was being
filled with sand. He was burried
alive; hemmed in by tons of sand.
Selgfried burrowed his way arms'
length to Jordan's face and then
held his cupped hands over the
burried man s nose an hour and 40
minutes, to keep away the sand.
Siegfried, his nose pressed to the
sand as he stretched downward, had
almost as much difficulty breathing
as did Jordan.
They were liberated when the bot
tom of the hopper was tapped with
torches to let the sand pour out.

WANTPENSIONS
LEFT TO STATE
The Marion county legislative de
legation will be contacted by County
Commissioner Roy Melson as to car
rying out with its favorable backing
the proposed social security program
as approved by a committee in Port
land recently. Melson is a member
of the committee representing the
state association of county judges
and commissioners. Others meeting
with that committee included repre
sentatives of the state relief com
mittee, lederal agencies, slate plan
ning board and legislative Interim
committee.
The commtitee recommended that
the old age pension obligation be
placed wholly on the state and that
the state join equally with the coun
ties In bearing the relief and indig
ent burden if the financial problem
can be solved by using the excess of
state receipts over anticipations. The
committee report states that if the
recommendations are followed it will
not affect budgets now being pre
pared due to the fact that no federal
funds have been appropriated for
pension purposes as yet. The coun
ties feel the plan will make a more
equitable distribution of pension and
relief burdens states the report, and
will simplify administration as well
as reduce county expense. Every
county court is asked to contact
their local legislative delegations for
favorable consideration of the plan.
U. O. Allen, Yamhill county com
missioner and secretary of the state
association, is sending out copies of
the report to various courts over the
state.

SEEK REPOSSSSION
OF TRADE STREET
The city authorities are now ne
gotiating with the Oregon Pulp &
Paper company for repossession of
Trade street between Commercial
and Ferry, in the hope that an auto-
nobile parking nuisance can be elim
inated.
Several years ago tho city vacated
the street, except a 20-foot strip, In
favor of the paper company so the
latter could build on the ground.
But the company has never put up
an additional building on the street.
Instead the space is used by com
pany employes for automobile park
ing without limitation, and while It
creates a serious traffic problem the
city can do nothing about It. The
cars even Infringe on the city's 20-
foot portion of the street, officials
say.
SEEK LIMITATIONS
OF SERVICE DRIVES
Efforts will be renewed at the
city council meeting tonight to limit
the width of driveways entering mo
tor vehicle service stations. An or
dinance bill will be introduced to
cut them down to about 20 feet. It
is not probable that any attempt
will be made to put the bill through
all three readings and on final pas
sage, because of previous defeat:
that this legislation has met in the
city council.
The measure will have retroactive
provisions. Stations occupying hal:
a block would, by the provisions of
the bill be allowed two 20-foot
driveways on each street abutting
the station. Those of less than half
a block could have only one.
An ordinance bin offering a gas
heating code, to govern the Installa
tion of gas heating equipment, will
probably be up for third reading.
With most highly controversial
Issues that have been before the
council for several weeks now out

"It carries the confluent traffic
of the West Side Pacific highway,

as well as the important coast con
