Dr. Lowell Talks About Oaks Plan There Is room for construc tive criticism but there is none for ignorance or indifference in connection with the forthcoming discussion of the Dumbarton Oaks plan during the San Fran cisco conference, Dr. R. Ivan Lovell, professor of history at Willamette university, asserted during an address before the Salem Lions club Thursday noon. He said that he hoped the plan would be amended in detail but he added he expected the proposal would be adopted. He urged backing of all people in the effort to secure some sort of a workable plan for peace of the world. Dr. Lovell declared that war is now a matter of consideration for the "big five." He added that the same is true In the mat ter of peace and the absence of one memory of that group would wreck any plan that might be presented. He stated that he felt the other nations should grant any reasonable de mands Russia should make in order to keep that country in line. "Russia is still scared that the capitalistic nations will gang up on her," he said.

In 1934 first time a president had stopped here since Harding passed through in the- summer of 1923 he viewed the Bonneville power project. In 1937 he dedicated the huge dam personally. His 1942 visit, cen sored until a week later, was on a tour of the nation's war pro duction. Roosevelt arrived on the Linen Plant To be Extended Announcement was made to day by the Miles Linen com pany, through Bertram Thom son, Salem manager, that it will start construction in about two weeks of an extension to the present plant at 2150 Fair grounds road that will give the plant one-third more floor space. A building permit issued at the office of City Engineer J. H. Davis gives the estimated cost at S27.000. The building, of concrete con struction, will adjoin the pres ent factory building on the east and will be 50 by 100 feet and one story high. The present )lant is 150 by 100.

Naval ships and stations around the globe were flying the ensign at half mast today on orders from Navy Secretary Forrestal, who similarly desig nated a 30-day period of mourn ing for the sea services. Memorial services shall be held on the day of the funeral at all yards and stations and on board all vessels of the navy, war operations permitting," the navy order read. Forrestal's order also dispens ed with the wearing of mourn ing bands and firing of salutes. President Truman's proclama tion, issued at the state depart ment, formally announced the late president's death. "But though his voice Is silent," the new chief executive said, "His courage is not spent, his faith is not extinguished." "The courage of great men outlives them to become the courage of their people and the peoples of the world. It lives beyond them and upholds their purposes and brings their hopes to pass." Mr. Truman recommended that the people of this country assemble tomorrow "in their re spective places of divine wor ship, there to bow down in sub mission to the will of Almighty God, and to pay out of full hearts their homage of love and reverence to the memory of the great and good man whose death they mourn."

The presidential party parad ed through downtown Portland the afternoon of August 3, an estimated 150.000 Oregonians jammed the streets to catch a glimpse of Franklin D. Roose velt, and some said the ovation was the greatest the state ever heard. He traveled by automobile over the Columbia river high way to Bonneville, where work ers gave him a steamshovcl sa lute. Speaking impromptu, he said since 1920 he had dream ed of developing the great Col umbia river valley. "It is part of my conception, my dream," he said, "that in our lifetime we would see great sea-going vessels as far as The Dalles. ... I conceive this north west section of our land most important. . . . Here is a land of opportunity to be peopled by Americans who know wither America is bound." On his next trip September 28, 1937 President Roosevelt formally dedicated Bonneville dam in an address before 6000 persons. He pressed a button which opened the flow of elec tricity from the station genera tor units. He then rode up Ml. Hood to dedicate the $650,000 Timber line Lodge, where he was the first to sign the guest register. Later he again drove through Portland, smiling and waving while the crowds cheered. His last trip, September 23, 1942, was not generally known until October 1, when he was back in Washington. Stopping at Oregon Shipbuilding Corpor ation, he saw the launching of the Joseph N. Teal, record breaking Liberty ship. He rode to the christening platform with Henry and Edgar Kaiser. Speaking slowly to some 14, 000 clamoring day shift work ers, Roosevelt said: "I am very much Inspired by what I have seen. . . . You are doing a won derful piece of work for your country and for your nation. With the help of God, we are going to see this thing through to the end."
