East Salem Turns Toward Fifth War Bond Campaign East Salem, June 21 With the schools closed the fifth war loan drive in the suburban and rural districts will have their quota raised by the work of district chairmen. Frank Doerfler of the East Four Corners is again ru ral chairman and has appointed his (fcommittee chairmen. These chairmen will be women in most instances" and they will have to have volunteer help in making the canvass. As they are all busy housewives with the older children in the homes away helping in the harvests an ap peal Is being made for every member of the communities who can possibly buy a war bond to see that their district gets the credit, for the purchase. Swegle district was one of the districts that did not get the credit for many thousands Valley Sanitary Survey Asked Portland, Ore., June 21 (U.R) - The Oregon state sanitary authority has proposed a sur vey of the Willamette river valley to determine the best methods of refuse disposal in every municipality on the riv er, Harold F. Wendel, Port land, chairman of the group, announced Tuesday. Representatives of the sani tary authority and the League of Oregon Cities will talk to Gov. Earl Snell Wednesday in an effort ' to have $9,000 in stale funds appropriated for the survey. Oregon State college has of fered the services of its ex perts, a contribution of ap proximately $4,500. Members of the sanitary au thority were encouraged by the progress of up-river munici palities in stream cleanup pro grams. At present the Eugene voters have authorized a 5-mill tax levy for five years which will yield $325,000 for a sewer system. A 2 VI -mills levy for three jf years was voted by the Salem 'populace. The levy will raise about $120,000 for its propos ed disposal plant. Corvallis is now planning to levy a sewer-user charge. In Newberg a surtax of 10 i cents per 100 cubic feet of water is collected for plans for sewage disposal and Lebanon is collecting a 10-mill tax, ap proximately $12,000 annually. Other indications such as a program of , the national pulp and paper industry for riddance of stream pollution and the an nouncement that 33 Oregon municipalities . have planned sewage disposal projects after the war have also encouraged the sanitary authority. Portland will not come under the survey because it has al ready begun plans for cleanup f the river and the Columbia plough. The word telegraph is de rived from the Greek "tele," meaning afar, and "graphein," to write.

Pan-Cake' Make-Up FRED M"" '"" IredMeveij Conviction of Folkes Upheld The Oregon state supreme court Tuesday upheld the con viction and death penalty im posed on Robert E. Lee Folkes, young negro dining car cook for the "Lower 13" slaying of Mrs. Martha Virginia James in January, 1943. The decision was made by a 5-2 vote, with Judges George Rossman and Percy Kelly dis senting. The Los Angeles negro was convicted in Albany on May 28, 1943, of first degree mur der, and sentenced to death in the state's gas chamber. Mrs. James, the bride of a navy ensign, was slashed in the throat as she lay in berth lower 13 of a Southern Pacific pas senger train passing through Linn county January 23. She was from Norfolk, Va. The entire court agreed that Folkes' purported confession, consisting of a stenographer's memoranda, should not have been submitted to the jury as if it were a signed confession. The majority opinion, by Jus tice James T. Brand, held that in spite of this technical error, there was enough evidence to convict Folkes. The minority opinion asked for a new trial on grounds that the introduction of the confes sions prejudiced Folkes' rights. The minority also held that Folkes' rights were prejudiced when Circuit Judge L. G. Lew elling, presiding judge at the trial, allowed the prosecution to introduce prior accusations of other crimes, even though Folkes was innocent of the crimes.
