Soldiers' Vote
Bill Deadlock
Washington, Feb. 21 U.R
Senate-house conferees resum
ed discussion on the soldier vote
bill today amid reports that the
issue was so "hopelessly dead
locked" that an agreement may
never be reached.
Sen. Carl A. Hatch (D., N. M.)
a senate conferee, said he and
other advocates of the federal
war ballot approved by the
senate had made every possible
concession to supporters of the
state's rights plan, but were
doubtful that it would help a
compromise.
Senate conferees cannot give
more ground without "surren
dering," he said, adding that if
the house persists in attempts to
throw out the federal ballot
completely, no new law will be
written.
Rep. Harris Ellsworth (R.,
Ore.) said the best solution
would be to adopt the state's
rights bill approved by the
house to give the states some
specific plan on which to work.

Heavy Storm
In California
Los Angeles, Feb. 21 (UP.)
Scattered showers in the low
lands and more snow in the
mountains were forecast for to
day as southern California
cleaned up after its worst storm
in 13 years, a mixture of snow,
hail and rain that dumped 3.68
inches of precipitation on Los
Angeles in 24 hours and blocked
mountain highways.
The heavy downpour, which
started Saturday, reached a cli
max yesterday when lightning
heralded a 10-minute downfall
of hail and snow that whitened
streets and housetops.
The weather bureau said the
snow was not the real thing, just
"snow pellets"; but it looked
like the real thing to old tim
ers who had to explain what
"that white stuff" was to chil
dren.
Scattered parts of the city
were blacked out by power fail
ures which went unrepaired be
cause of the current strike of
department of water and power
employes. However, mainte

said in an interview.
He said re-election of Roose

predicted the republicans could
elect a man of "old Jeffersonian
ideals who opposes all forms of

Liberty Ships
Reinforced
Portland, Ore., Feb. 21 (U-PJ
Liberty ships long the source
of controversy concerning the
safety of all-welded ships are
now being reinforced with riv
ets at Portland repair yards, the
U. S. Maritime commission dis
closed today.
Several of the ships have al
ready docked and are being
strengthened by the insertion of
heavy steel angles in joints be
tween the main decks and the
top outer hull plates. Deck and
hull plates will be riveted to
these angles.
Mariners have described the
all-welded ships as "stiff" and
it is believed that this stiffness
may be minimized by the use
of rivets at certain joints. Lib
erty ships have been known to
"crack" on high seas and in ex
tremely cold waters.
New Nurses' Class
To Start March 7

aide class is scheduled to start
March 7, in the classroom at
Salem Deaconess hospital, ac
cording to, Mrs. Breyman Boise,
chairman of the committee for
that phase of Red Cross vol
unteer service in Marion county.
Already registered for this
class is a group of young women
from Willamette university, but
Mrs. Boise is asking for a few
more recruits from the women
of Salem in order to bring the
class up to its efficiency quota
which should number about 20.
Instruction in nurses' aide
training is given by Mrs. Louise
Arneson, Red Cross director of
nursing service for Marion coun
ty. Mrs. Arneson pointed out
that the nursing service In the
local hospital is at a very low
ebb, due to the enlistment of
many of the graduate nurses for
army and navy duty, and that
the only relief for the situation
is through training more and
more nurses' aides. Marion
county has not yet filled its
quota in the nurses' aide corps.
Appointment for an interview
regarding this volunteer service
may be made by calling Mrs.
Boise at 4995 or Mrs. Arneson
at 9277.
