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

high" division when directors
voted a 25-cent dividend against
15 cents paid previously. Ahead
were Schenley, National Distill
ers, American Tobacco, Chrys

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. Mr.
Burton resigned his position as
local city manager to accept
highway engineering work in

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.

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

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

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.
Shoe Sale Arranged
Dallas The Dallas PTA is
sponsoring a used shoe sale to
be held March 25 from 10 a.m.
to 5 p.m. in the Mountain States
Power company rooms. The
shoe will be ration point free.
Shoe donations may be left at
the Mountain , States Power
rooms any time before the sale,
according to the committee in
charge.

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.

Coupons Must
Last 3 Months
Seattle, March 21 IP) The
No. 11 A gasoline coupons, ef
fective at midnight tonight, must
last three months through June
21, rather than the previously
announced May 22, R. L. Hos
mer, OPA director of gasoline
rationing for Washington state,
explained today.
He made the announcement
to correct the widespread im
pression their value has been
cut to two gallons, rather than
remaining at three gallons, he
said.
"The effect, however, is the
same, ' he said. "Consumption
is to be cut one third by exT
