Tuesday, December 21, 1937 The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon Seven Thirfv Dnnc I vv V IftlUJ ILL. miicu nuiiwiiy Public clamor a ea fruit the um of a dog aa a tt for tha new lethal aa chamber being Installed at the tat penitentiary falla upon Oaf can u It rearhea Carl Radke, city dog catcher and exterminator. Radke aald today that he eie- cutea an average of 10 dogs month, using the gaa method, at the city pound. All victims are strays and unclaimed or are merci fully put to death upon the request of owners. Some cats also "walk the last mile." The system here Is to place the animal In a small concrete and air tight vault and then turn on the gas such as Is piped throughout the city. Though the animal Is appar ently dead In from three to four minutes. It la left for an hour or two before removed to be certain that It cannot revive. I Since the dog deaths run about 'one a day, Radke doea not see why so-called dog lovers throughout the state are protesting. He points out mat here, as In other clues, such executions have been carried on for years and no one has protested. If such a protest has been voiced, neither he nor other city officials have heard of It. Since the canines are under sent ence of death by lethal gas anyhow, he does not understand why one of his "condemned prisoners" cannot as well be executed by the state as a test of the efficiency of the new chamber aa well as meeting death In the concrete vault. In addition. he declares, the unknown dog. un known and unwanted, will by death of this nature, go down In history and also make some small contir butlon to science and perform i last service for his state. Arany Chosen 'For Airport Leo Arany succeed! Lee U. Eyer ly u lessee and manager of the Sa lem municipal airport by vote of the city council last night In ac cepting Arany 'a bid of $600 for i year's lease. Eyerly has been the manager since the port was first established. Eyerly had submitted a bid at his existing figure of $300 for a year's lease, and sent In a second one higher than Arany's after the lat ter had submitted his bid. A few days later, however. Eyerly with drew his higher bid. Alderman E. B. Perrlne, chairman of the airport committee, said that an agreement had been made with Eyerly a year ago that each year he would increase his fee by $100. He added that Eyerly really did not want the lease and that he and Arany had made an agreement whereby Eyerly would have the use of certain hangar space, and that they had shaken hands and agreed to be friendly. Arany has for some time been the active flying Instruc tor at the port. Communications reaching the committee on behalf of one or the other of the two men have been about equally divided Perrlne said. The council voted not to lease part of the port to Francis E. Manley, but did not bar him from getting a sub-lease from the man ager.

"Throughout the length and breadth of the land today no citi zen Is free from x x z Intimidation or personal violence when he at tempts to take employment where and when he may," Holm an said. "Neither is his family secure in his home, nor Is his property secure from trespass, damage or destruc tion. "History teaches us that govern' ments which continuously spend more than their Income eventually fail, xxx When the public credit no longer Inspires confidence, dis order and chaos ensue, x x x In each case, prior to the appearance of a dictator, the financial credit of the nation was wrecked," he said. Hamilton left by automobile for San Francisco after the dinner. Another Charge Against Pair A new development In the case of Jack Graves and Dorsey Rardln yesterday was the filing of a charge In Stay ton justice court by State Police Lieutenant Max Alford charging thera with receiving and concealing stolen property. It Is alleged that electric shavers found in their possession were stolen. Meantime the pair are awaiting grand Jury Investigation, having been bound over in the Silverton Justice court on vagrancy charges, and are also awaiting the outcome of a petition In their behalf for writ of habeas corpus. The writ was made returnable yesterday but was deferred on account of the ill new of their attorney. Another counter move In behalf of Graves and Rardln Is a civil ac tion filed against the state police and two California deputy sheriffs, who are here with requisition for extradition, demanding that Uie officers return to them the electric shavers.

Commercial Phone 4610 City Refuses Use of Hall A personal appeal made by Harry Levy of the unemployment advisory council failed to convert Uie city council last night to tha Idea of allowing the employment service the use of the council chamber at the city hall to receive the unem ployment insurance claims of some 6800 men and women In Marion county. Only Aldermen Prank P. Marshall, Gertrude P. Lobdell, L. P. LeGarle, W. D. Evans and Ross Goodman voted for It. Levy told the council the town had been thoroughly searched for an adequate place with no result. He mentioned a list of dues and towns that have furnished quarters without rental charge and said the department would want the space lor only about three weeks. Led by Alderman Fred A. Wil liams strong opposition developed In trie council. The employment serv ice waa advised to get the use of the first floor of the old high school building where the second floor Is occupied by the unemployment compensation commission. Levy re. plied that this would be objection able for the reason that the num erous applicants would Interfere with the work of the commission. The council refused to accept this as a valid objection, and Williams said that since the public Is paying the taxes for the upkeep of the building there was no reason why iv snouian i oe usea. The registration Is to begin Jan uary 3. Of the estimated 1900 claimants in Marlon county about 4000 are said to be in Salem. (Continued from Page B) J. Towe and Mrs. T. P. Helden. strom.
