They are prepared to col lect magazines, newspapers and cartons from residences and firms which have reported lots of 200 pounds or more to sal vage headquarters. Increased amounts of waste paper have been forthcoming from the residential section in recent weeks, although the poundage from business houses and industrial plants has not grown to any great extent, Gardner Knapp, Marion county salvage chairman, states. Full cooperation is being received from the firm engaged in con structing the aluminum plant where those in charge of the paper wrappings from all ma chinery, and the large cartons are being saved. Himmler (Continued from pase 1 man-controlled broadcasts. While these sought to give the picture of a completely normal Germany, with the plot scotched, other bits of informa tion indicated the revolt was still on. (The "Atlantic" radio, sup-' posedly operated inside Ger many, declared ."revolution has burst forth in Germany" and "part of the eastern army is deserting and returning from the front.") Allied propagandists bombard ed the reich with broadcasts urging the Germans to deal the death blow to the Hitler regime. A traveler reaching Sweden today declared that two German divisions revolted Wednesday in Prussia, apparently touching off the movement which culmin ated in the reported bomb at tempt on Adolf Hitler's life. New bits of information re: layed by Berlin on the incident in which Hitler was said to have been burned and bruised by an explosion included the Berlin announcement that the one man fatally injured in Hitler's circle was a press stenographer. He previously had been identified as "collaborator Berger. Keitel Narrowly Missed Field Marshal Gen. Wilhelm Keitel, chief of the German high confmand, was among top-rank. ing generals conferring with the fuehrer at the time, Berlin as serted, but he escaped harm. Twelve other aides were injur ed, however. London quarters said there was now convincing evidence to support recent rumors increas ing dissatisfaction with Hitler's authority and that opposition to nazism apparently had been or ganized under responsible lead ership. The strongest indication that Gestapo Chief Himmler, despite the sweeping powers conferred upon him by Hitler, had not yet completely liquidated the out break was the rupture in neu tral communications with Ger many. This interruption was similar to the break Wednesday night which presaged yesterday's news. In London doubt persisted that the Germans had given anywhere nearly a full account and there was considerable doubt that even a bonafide at tempt was made on Hitler's life. decree, and the other on betulf of de fendant who soutt alleviations in con nection with certain payments required by the decree.

The possibility was not over looked that the whole thing was elaborately staged to give the Himmler-Hitler team an excuse for a full-scale purge of Junk ers generals before they could really get their movement in motion. Signs Point to Revolt Speeches by Hitler, Reichs marshal Goering and Admiral Karl Boenitz, commander of the German navy, berating traitor ous generals were the surest signs of revolt, even if abortive, within the reich. The question was whether it would be snowballed or crush ed by the purge. There was a possibility it might grow as the militarists sought to save them selves by resisting the gestapo. It was felt here that nazis had two choices to try to hush up the incident or to twist the facts into propaganda and cre ate an emotional story on the home front. The fact that the latter course was chosen sug gested a revolt of such dimen sions that it could not be con cealed. The soviet-sponsored free Ger-F The soviet-sponsored free Ger many committee in Moscow broadcast an appeal to all Ger mans to "overthrow Hitler and save the fatherland at this last moment," adding that "it may be assumed that the open strug gle (within Germany) continues in its most acute form and that valuable key positions have al ready been seized from bank rupt nazi bosses." Nazi leaders made fervent ef forts to rally the home front. Vacation Case Before Court The county court Friday morning took under advisement a petition of Mrs. Ora F. Mc Intyre for vacation of Eldon avenue east of the city between Sunnyview and the Garden road, this being a dedicated, but not a county road. The petition stated that Mrs. Mcln typre owns all of the lots abut ing on the roadway with excep tion of certain property owned by A. E. and Edna G. Wood who reside at 180 Sunnyview avenue, and asserts they have adequate means of ingress and egress. Mr. and Mrs. Wood appeared at the hearing in person to make objections and also a remon strance and supporting peti tion were on file signed by Mr. and Mrs. Wood and about 50 others, protesting against clos ing of the roadway. ; The remonstrance stated that the road has a graveled sur face, is well graded, that a number of persons use the ave nue day and night and that all types of vehicles pass through between Sunnyview avenue and the Garden road and that it is a short accessible avenue be tween Sunnyview avenue and Fisher road to the Garden road used by many school children and persons employed in vari ous industries in reaching the bus which plies on the Garden road. The Woods stated that there a number of women with chil dren, wives of men in the serv ice, who go to their work by using this cutoff to catch the bus, and their children go to Englewood school and the high school and use the cutoff. They stated at times in the winter Sunnyview avenue, or parts of it, are under water, so it is necessary to use Eldon avenue, or go way around via another route. Mrs. Mclntyre said that the roadway was often used at night by persons who park their cars there. Inasmuch as it is merely a dedicated road and not a county road, the maintenance and responsibility of the roadway falls onto her, it was stated. Men ot Air Station Fight Grass Fires Pasco, Wash., July- 21 U.R Approximately 500 men on duty at the naval air station in Pas co have been battling grass land and grain fires which have been raging in the area for the past 72 hours, it was reported today. Working shifts, the sailors were organized so that full crews were available at all times to combat the blazes that already have done thousands of dollars worth of damage. Safety Conference Here in September Training of leaders' in acci dent prevention in Oregon's industrial plants will be the aim of an Oregon industrial safety conference to be held here September 25 and 26, it was announced today by the ! accident prevention division.

Mr. Roosevelt, accompanied by his top military aides, reach ed this base Wednesday night after a six-day transcontinental trip which was locked in the secrecy of military security. Only a- few hundred people saw the presidential train as it moved through 16 states a sharp contract to the multitudes which jammed the route of pre sidents in peace time. Few of those who happened to see the train managed to guess the identity of its No. 1 passenger. He never let himself be seen. The party left Washington the night of July 13, accom panied by reporters for the Associated Press, the United Press and the International News Service. It spent the next day at the Roosevelt home in Hyde Park, where Mrs. Roose velt joined the group, then made an overnight journey to Chicago. From then on the route cannot be told because of wartime security regulations restricting discussion of presi dential travel. With the president ' were Adm. William D. Leahy, chief of staff to Mr. Roosevelt; Maj. Edwin M. Watson, his military aide; Rear Adm. Wilson Brown, his naval aide; Vice Adm. Ross T. Mclntire, the president's physician, and Samuel I. Rosen man, special counsel to the president and one of Mr. Roose velt's close advisors. Also on the train was Elmer Davis, director of the office of war information, who explain ed to reporters he was not a member of the presidential party. He said he plans to leave the group to make a personal inspection of OWI operations. The president's fondness for his Scotty, Fala, tipped the trip to some spectators who happened to see the black pup being exercised along railroad sidings and identified him al most instantly. More Strength (Continued from page 1) Texas regulars decided to give him 22 'A on the first bal let which brought his potential total on that test to 66 Vi. Senator D. 'Worth Clark- said Idaho would go. for' Wallace, adding another 10 votes, and Nevada decided to give seven of its eight votes to Wallace after a first ballot complimentary vote . for Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney. 8he stadium blossomed with vari-colored signs proclaiming "the people want Roosevelt and Wallace," "Roosevelt and Tru man for Victory," "We Want Frank and Fank" and so on. The Rev. John Thompson, re tired pastor of the Chicago Methodist Temple,, opened the session with prayer, and Bar bara Scully of the Chicago Opera company sang the na tional anthem. Nominations Begin Swiftly pushing through rou tine business, the delegates at 12:33 p.m. got down to their real business nominating a vice presidential candidate. Senator Lister Hill of Ala bama placed the first name in nomination his colleague, Sen ator John Bankhead. Hill call ed Bankhead "the champion of th efarmer, the man who can best aid him in winning the war, in winning the peace, In winning jobs, and in winning a prosperous ecoomy after the war." Boos broke from the galler ies when Arizona yielded to Missouri for the nomination of Truman, and Chairman Samuel Jackson admonished the audi ence to give every speaker a courteous hearing. Nominating Truman, Senator Bennett Champ Clark of Mis souri said his colleague had done more to help win the war than any civilian except the president, adding: "The president of the United States himself has written a letter in which he said he would be very glad to run with Harry Truman and believes that he wtil add real strength to the ticket." Gov. Lester C. Hart of Wyom ing, nominated the senior sen ator from his state, O'Mahoney. "The vice presidency de mands young and vigorous lead ership," Hunt declared. Seconding the nomination of Truman, Martin V. Coffee of . Ararat Or. Harry A. Brown Optometrist . 184 N. Liberty St. Capital Journal. Salem, Oregon, Friday, July 21, 19449 Ohio, declared the Missouri senator had saved the lives of thousands of American fight ing men through the watchdog activities of his senate com mtitee investigating war pro duction. Let Go for Wallace At that point, Chairman Jackson attempted to clear hun dreds of visitors out of the blocks of seats reserved for al ternates, but few moved. The Wallace nomination came next, and the galleries let go with the noisiest roar of the day. Pleading for renomination of the tousle-haired vice president, Richard F. Mitchell of Fort Dodge, Iowa, said "the demo cratic party already has given to the nation a vice president who has made of the vice presi dency what our founding fath ers must have had in mind when that office was inaugurat ed first assistant to the presi dent, a partner in fact." Mitchell also reminded the delegates that Mr. Roosevelt had written "if I were a dele gate to this convention I would vote for Henry A. Wallace." Jackson tried vainly to re store order when the vice pre sident's friends began a "We Want Wallace" parade down the center aisle. The biggest volume of Wal lace chants seemed to come from the topmost balcony. Senator Bankhead, a conten der for the vice presidency in his own right, remarked to a reporter: "It certainly looks as if the CIO has taken over the convention." A and struck up "loway, Io way. That's Where the Tall Corn Grows," and the confu sion grew like Iowa corn in August. Three gas-filled balloons, te thered to a parader by a light thread, floated high toward the ceiling carrying a Wallace pos ter. The demonstration lasted 12 minutes. Ohio, first of the big state delegations to caucus on this climatic final day, announced 21 of its 52 votes would go to the Iowan and 9 to the man from Missouri when roll-call balloting gets under way, prob ably in mid-afternoon. v This left Wallace, going Into the red-hot final session, with a total of 337 H pledged and claimed votes and Truman with 83. For a nomination, 589 are required. Military Governor Of Hawaii Quits Honolulu, Hawaii, July 21 VP) Lt. Gen. Robert C. Richard son last night relinquished the title of military governor of Hawaii and said his office would be continued under the name of office of internal security. The change does not end Ha waii's martial law status, now under attack , in U. S. courts. General Richardson said in a statement: "I believe that the title has served its purpose and I have decided that all necessary se curity measures under the pre sent modified form of martial law can adequately be taken care of by issuance of direc tives or orders by virtue of my title of commanding general of the central Pacific area." Guests of Hotel Have to Climb Stairs Detroit, July 21 U. Guests at Detroit's hotel Statler car ried their own luggage and walked to their rooms today as a strike of 700 employes tied up practically all services in the 1,000-room, 15-floor hotel. Started by a walkout of 35 elevator operators seeking higher wages, the strike spread to approximately 655 members of other AFL unions in the ho tel. The operators are members of local 153, Building Service Employes union (AFL). The operators seek a six cent an hour increase and engineers, a 15 percent boost in wages. Ira Briggs, until last year a resident of the Pringle district, died recently in Portland, ac cording to word received here.

EXPERT RELIABLE SERVICE DEPENDABLE UAAV V AVJJLV Two of Oregon's most up - CHUCK OREGON'S LARGEST BALEM AND 129 North Commercial St. Lions Hear Joe Silver The workings of the state of fice of paroles and probations and the problems faced by those who are charged with the prop er functioning of that depart ment were explained Thursday noon by Joe Silver, senior parole officer for the benefit of the members of the Salem Lions club during their luncheon. Silver predicted that the day is approaching when 'there will be an augmented adult problem to add to the one on juvenile delinquency. He said that al ready the Oregon penitentiary has received men who have seen service in the present war, and he expects the list to grow to a considerable extent. Failure to find for themselves a place in a community after having served a prison term is chiefly responsible for the vio lation of trust, the speaker said. During the past fiscal year 8' a percent of those paroled had their paroles revoked. Sixty percent of this group were charged with technical 'viola tions of the parole regulations. The board has a case load of 826 at the present time, 623 of whom are Inside the state while 89 are with the armed forces. Due to a reciprocal agreement, the Oregon board is acting as supervisors for 176 cases from other states. Ulility Permitted To Refund Bonds Public Utilities Commissioner George H.
