Newspaper Page TextJO Capital Journal, Salem, I Stone Wall of Negative Votes Beats Two Bills Two ordinance bills that have stirred more than usual interest In recent weeks ran up against a stone wall of negative votes ' at Monday night's council meeting. Defeated were the bill to -"to make the city engineer also . ' building inspector with increase in salary of an assistant, and the bill providing sick leave pay for city employes. Each " got only three affirmative votes. " The engineer's present salary is $236. SO a month, the same as other department heads. Stocks Advance To New Peaks ; New York, March 21 Wj The stock market did a right-about-face today with rails monopoliz ing the ticker tape for gains of fractions to 3 points, many at peaks since 1037, , A combination of factors ac counted for the rally. Among these were earnings prospects, persistent political optimism, generally encouraging war news and the conclusion that the re cent technical slip-up had failed to bring out important invest ment holdings. Transfers ran to around 1.300,000 share. At tops for 1944 or longer were N. Y. Central, Great Northern, Baltimore & Ohio common and preferred, K. C. Southern, M-K-T preferred, Delaware & Hudson, Erie, West ern Union "A" and "B," Pure Oil, General Realty, Fajardo Sugar, Goodyear, Goodrich, U.S. Rubber and Standard Gas pre ferred. Gimbcl joined the "new high" division when directors voted a 25-cent dividend against 15 cents paid previously. Ahead were Schenley, National Distill ers, American Tobacco, Chrys ler and Jones & Laughlin. -.- Railway bonds came to the fore after early timidity. WheaTHighesI In Two Months Chicago, March 21 (U.B Grain futures maintained a firm tone on the board of trade today with May wheat at the highest level in two months. Wheat finished the day up 1i to one cent. Firmness in May wheat re flected the strong cash markets with future prices at Minne apolis at ceiling levels and at Kansas City near the ceiling. ' Cash wheat demand has come from' mills despite the stagna tion of the flour market, and distilling and feed interests also have been Rood buyers. Lamson Bros., and Co., analy st; commented on the govern ment crop report issued today showing intention to plant, by saying "estimating crop bushels of feed grains from acres which have not been planted appears rather far-fetched and subjected to substantial changes. We ex pect the corn acres and possibly oats to be larger than the es timated." Weather conditions and short age in farm labor arc also two important factors, he said. The trade noted that imme diate requirements of industries and feed manufacturers have created an extremely tight sit uation in all feed grains. , Rye rose under short cover ing and (he intentions to plant report. While showing larger acreage, it was considered in adequate in view of the war de mand and feeding needs. Oats futures acted in sym pathy Willi other grains in quiet trade. Oats acreage, while lar ger, was viewed in relation to the small carry-over and the tremendous needs. May and July futures changed hands at three cents difference. Number of Ewes In Oregon Decrease Scalllc, March 21 wiKod eral agricultural statisticians hero reported today that as of March 1 the numbers of ewes in the three Pacific northwest- . em slates are sharply down this year and the production of early lambs will be less than last year. Summarized reports from sheepmen: "OreRon although ewe num bers down sharply, early lamb crop may be little different be- ' cause of higher percentage sav ed. Early lambs have develop ed fairly well. February rains have started new feed but grow th retarded by cold nights. . Above-normal rainfall needed for good pastures and ranges. Club Outlines Plans Aumsvllle The newly organ ized 4H Calf and Livestock club met to complete their program for Ihe year. The club is led b.y Northrop Bales and Kred Klein. There are three girls and 4 boys in the group and it is hoped there will be a few more enrolled. I Oregon, Tuesday, Mar. 21, 1944 After the death of Building Ins pector E. C. Bushnell, it was the opinion of some aldermen that, inasmuch as building is not active at the present time, Davis should perform the du ties of both offices, and little or nothing was said about in creased pay. Other members had a different idea, so a bill was prepared that would have made the engineer building ins pector also, with pay increased to $250, with an assistant to be paid $220. No Saving, Says Gille The bill was in the form of an amendment to the existing general salary ordinance. Af ter the voting had started, Al derman Albert H. Gille, by way of explaining his vote, wanted to know what the bill provid ed, and was informed by City Attorney Lawrence N. Brown. Gille said it wouldn't save any money and voted no. Alderman L. F. LeGarie turn ed explanation of his vote into an argument and advocated that City Engineer J. H. Davis go ahead both as engineer and building inspector without pay increase until the next budget is in preparation. "Then, if he needs an assistant," said Le Garie, "he can call on us and we will furnish one, but I think at not over $175 a month." Alderman Lloyd T. Rigdon asked that Engincre Davis be permitted to state his case. Davis said he hadn't had any thing to do with preparing the bill, but he didn't consider it fair to ask him to do both jobs without help. He added that there is a great deal of building being done, and offered to take any doubtful members on a lour of the city and show them the situation. Alderman David O'Hara was of similar mind with LeGarie and Alderman C. F. French changed his vole from yes to no. Then Alderman Elmer Berg, rising on point of order, said that since the rules of pro cedure had already been vio lated by the speaking members, he moved that the roll call be started all over again. This was done, with the result that eight of the eleven members pres ent voted against the bill. The affirmative votes were Arm strong, Maple and Rigdon. Woman Member Attacks In brief, the sick leave bill provided leave of one day per month for each month of prior employment up to a maxi mum accumulation of 90 days. It embodied a plan that May or I. M. Doughton has favored. First to attack the bill was Alderman Gertrude F. Lobdcll, who found discrepancies in it. Said Alderman Gille: "I see in the bill a promoter of all the aches, pains and cramps that human flesh is heir to. We have it in the stale em ployment, and it is constantly being taken advantage of by persons claiming sickness." LeGarie thought it would be abused, and O'Hara said it was entirely loo complicated. Defending it, Alderman Tom Armstrong said it was the same plan used by the city water de partment and that it works per fectly there. On roll call nine were against it, only Armstrong and French voting for it. President Sneezes During Night Washington, March 21 i.l'i President Roosevelt was treat ed for a head cold today, and, upon the advice of his physician, remained in the residential quarters of the While House for a second successive day. He canceled alt appointments. Mr. Roosevelt stayed in his quarters yesterday and had no engagements, but the While House did not announce until this morning that he had a cold. Presidential Secretary Ste phen Early said, however, that Mr. Roosevelt was "all right" and was not running a tempera ture. He did sneeze through the night, so his physician, Vice Adm. Ross Mclntire, suggesled that he slay away from his of fice, particularly the regular Tuesday afternoon press-radio conference which would have brought him into contact with several score persons. Mrs.' Burton Honored Silvcrton Mrs. E. K. Burton was honored at her home in a farewell shower of handker chiefs and a social afternoon by 20 members of her neighbor hood in the Cowing addition where the Burtons have made Iheir residence during their three years In Silvcrton.

Garden Classes Af City Schools The second meeting of the classes on gardening and pro cessing of food will be held at the various school buildings in the city of Salem on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. The Richmond class will meet at 8 p. m., on Tuesday, March 21, at the Richmond school building. Classes at Highland, Leslie Jr., high, and the voca tional building of the high school will meet on Wednesday, March 22, at 8 p. m. The Engle wood class has been postponed until March 29, according to Ncal Craig, agriculture instruc tor of Salem high school, The classes will be concerned primarily with planning and production of food, and will precede processing at the school community cannery. The need for families to produce more of their food has increased 10 per cent this year over last. Ac cording to the best information available 20 million gardens were grown last year and 22 million should be grown this year to meet the need. Apple Syrup Cull Outlet Washington, March 21 (JP) Prospective uses of apple syrup "now promise a substantial out let for the low grade portion of the apple crop which has been largely wasted and has repre sented a serious loss to apple growers," congress was told to day. Dr. O. E. May, research co ordinator of the bureau of agri cultural and industrial chemis try of the agriculture depart ment, told the house appropria tions committee in testimony published today that it was esti mated a minimum of 20.000.000 pounds of the recently develop ed product could have been con sumed this year had the apples been available. A total of 3.000,000 pounds was manufactured from the 1042 crop, he said, most of the output being consumed by the tobacco industry as a moisture retention agent replacing gly cerin, required in war indus- ' tries. Research, he added, has re sulted in development of a mod ified syrup suitable for table consumption and for pharma ceutical and other uses. James R.

Front Agricultural Bill Slashed Washington, March 21 U. The house appropriations com mittee today approved an agri culture department supply bill of $567,995,779 for the 1945 fiscal year representing a cut of $93,520,737 from the total re quested by the budget bureau- The committee achieved $50, 000,000 of the slash by refusing to authorize funds for the de partment's school lunch pro gram, recently rejected by the house, and effected another ma jor saving by eliminating a re quest of $28,500,000 for the farm security administration. Of the total $567,995,779 ap proved for the department's op erations in the year beginning July 1, $535,244,192 was in di rect appropriations and $32, 751.587 In reappropriations. The committee rejected a budget bureau recommendation that $90,000,000 from the per manent departmental appropri ations be transferred to various other funds, including one to finance the now outlawed school lunch program. It authorized advances of $15,000,000 for farm-tenant loans from the fund of the re construction finance corp., but turned down a request of $97, 500,000 for rural rehabilitation loans. The commodity credit corpor ation was voted $5,458,526 and the federal farm mortgage corp. $8,200,000 for administrative expenses, the total of $13,658, 527 being a cut of $302,000 be low budget estimates. There were few if any changes in the budgetary re quests of most of the old-line divisions and bureaus of the de partment. Seek Cut in Wheat Freights Pendleton, March 21 Ef forts to secure a freight rate re duction on northwest wheat have advanced another step, George H. Flagg, Oregon public utilities commissioner, has in formed local growers. Flagg's office has completed exceptions to the proposed re port of the examiner in t h e southeastern grain case, now be fore the interstate commerce commission. The exceptions were drawn on behalf of the public utilities commissions of Oregon and Ida ho following a tri-state meeting of northwest wheat interests in Pendleton last October, at which unanimous support was given to a move for changing the rate structure so markets in the southeastern slates can be op ened to northwest shippers. Flagg's report pointed out that three-fourths of the 80 mil lion bushels of wheat grown in the northwest must be marketed outside the producing area, and stressed that the "rate-break" system now in effect imposes handicaps on the mountain-Pacific shippers. , "One factor inter-territorial rates on a comma n level seem to offer a fair and practical so lution," the report concluded. Marlin Hamilton Killed in Action Albany, March 21 PFC Mar lin K. Hamilton, 23, was killed in action in Italy on February 3. the war department has noti fied his parents. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Hamilton of Fifth and Geary, Albany. An earlier wire, received on March 3, told the Hamiltons their son was reported missing. This was just after they thought they recognized their son in a picture of British and American prisoners being marched through Rome by German guards. Mrs. Hamilton states she still has hopes that her son will prove to have been captured in stead of being killed. PFC Hamilton was inducted into the army on February 23, 1943, and became an infantry man. Wholesale Credit Men to Banquet Spokane, March 21 W!

O'Hara Breaks Away From Post-War Group's Program When the ordinance bill that embodies Salem's only city-sponsored post-war project was introduced at the city council meeting Monday night it was discovered that Alderman David O'Hara had broken away from the other special post-war committee members and had, with other members of the ways and means committee, introduced a meas ure far different from the one recommended by the special committee. At a meeting of the special committee last Wednesday night it was voted to recommend that the council submit to the people a proposed 3-mill special tax levy, to run three years and raise an estimated $150,000 to be used with an existing $200, 000 bond fund exclusively for construction of an interceptor 21 Lives Lost In Passiac Bus Passaic, N. J., March 21 lP) A fourteenth body was re covered and a tentative list of seven missing persons was es tablished today as police and Red Cross workers sought to learn the death toll in the plunge of a bus into the Pas saic river. Police grappled in the 18 foot barge canal below the Mar ket street bridge between Pas saic and Wallington. It was from the icy surface of this span that the bus plunged into the water yesterday. Other police sorted sodden purses and other effects found in the bus when it was raised from the river last night. Meanwhile five persons who normally took a bus across the river during the morning rush hour were reported missing by their families and the search ers found the purse of a woman and the wallet of a man not otherwise listed. Six passengers, the only sur vivors of the bus, and two res cue workers were reported in good condtiion in hospitals to day. Bodies of nine of the dead were recovered shortly before 10 p. m. last night when the bus was hoisted from the river bottom to the deck of a barge by a 40-ton construction crane. Food Planting Acreage Shy Washinglon, March 21 UP) A review of the entire farm production picture, particularly government labor, price and machinery policies, appeared likely today as the agriculture department issued a melancholy report on prospective food plant ings. The report, based on a March 1 survey of representative far mers, indicated tnat plantings of such crops as soybeans, pea nuts, flaxseed, dry beans and peas, sugar beets, potatoes, and sweet potatoes will be con siderably short of goals set by the war food administration. Prospects for livestock feed, on the other hand, appear rela tively favorable. While the overall acreage may reach 374,000,000 acres 6,000,000 short of the goals compared with 361,000,000 last year, the indicated crop pat tern is at variance with that urged by the WFA. The gov ernment had placed greater emphasis on direct food crops particularly those rich in vegetable proteins. The indi cated plantings continue to stress livestock feeds the raw material for meats, poultry and dairy products, all of which are sources of animal proteins. The WFA program empha sized vegetable protein crops because they are the cheapest source of this food element, in terms of manpower, time and acreage. While such feeds as corn and oats for livestock may require less labor than soybeans and dry beans, the latter are ready to cat when harvested.

InS airem. fcfcffll j sewer and a sewage treatment plant, government match money to be used if offered. At that meeting it was stated that there were only two regu lar sources of funds for post war purposes, bond issues and tax levies, and since the city is legally able to raise only a trifle more than $500,000 in ad ditional bonds, it was consider ed better to raise the money by taxation. Chairman Fry stress ed that in taking the action, consideration was not being giv en possible money from any other source, having reference to a proposal to assess on the people a sewer service charge of about 25 cents a month that is being studied by a special committee. Parentage Denied When the bill was read Mon day night it provided not only that the proceeds of the 3-mill levy be used for sewer construc tion, but also for park and play ground development. Alderman Kenneth C. Perry said he was confused. He spot ted in the audience Mr. Fry, and asked him to explain. Fry responded by disclaim ing parentage of the bill, either by himself or the committee. It didn't, he declared, represent the deliberations of the com mittee. The bill was introduc ed by the ways and means com mittee. O'Hara Explains Alderman David O'Hara, who is chairman of the ways and means committee and member of the post-war committee, ex plained. Going home from the Wednesday night meeting, he said, he happened to think of the sewer service charge un der investigation by another special committee. Recogniz ing the need of park and play ground development, he said, he discussed the matter with the other members of the ways and means committee and with the mayor. "I supposed," said O'Hara, "that we could draw the bill according to our judgment. Certainly, I'm not going to toy with the taxpayers' money to uphold the dignity of any com mittee. I want to see this money used where it is needed, and I don't think it is all necessary for sewer construction." A companion bill was intro duced by the ways and means committee calling for a special election to vote on this and other measures.
