Probate Court Petition for sale of real property .n Stayton belontim to the Erma H. Olunt itau bis been filed by Carl H. Oiuni, Ernie Pyle in Salem in 1939 Ernie Pyle, world-famous war correspondent who was slain by a Japanese sniper on Ie Jima, and who was buried there to day with doughboys whom he loved to write about, was a Sa lem visitor in 1939, and made the Salem Art Center and (he Willamette valley subjects of his syndicated column which was then beginning to attract wide attention. His Salem visit was recalled today by Miss Carol Dibble, now of the Capital Journal staff, who was then receptionist at the art center. "Ernie Pyle's visit here," said Miss Dibble, "came about mainly because of his acquain tance and close friendship with Charles Val Clear, director of the Salem Art Center. He was interested in the center's ob jectives, and especially intrigued by its appeal to many persons who had a love for and a crav ing for studies in art, but who had never had the opportunity until it was brought to them by Mr. Clear and the art cen ter. He also found much to ob serve and write about in the valley around Salem." In writing his story of the Salem Art Center the colum nist made use of notes prepared by Miss Dibble. No Layoff In Northwest Portland, Ore., April 21 U. Northwest shipyard workers are not going to be laid off as in various other areas facing a cutback in production in the next 90 days, manpower offi cials predicted today. L. C. Stoll, manpower direc tor for Oregon and A. F. Hardy, holding the same job for Wash ington, announced after a Los Angeles manpower conference that prospects were bright in the northwest for full produc tion through 1945. Stoll said probably 100,000 workers will be laid off, chiefly in southern California aircraft and shipyard industries. He pointed to the contract which will keep the three Kaiser yards in Portland and Vancouver go ing at full speed in 1945, and the further work allocated to the Vancouver yard until mid 1946. Stoll said prospects are bright for securing more ship repair work for the Portland-Vancou ver area. Realtors Told of Jobless Insurance The unemployment compen sation commission as it deals with real estate and Insurance brokers was discussed Friday noon for the benefit of mem ber of the Salem Board of Real tors by David H. Cameron, su pervisor of contributions for the state commission. Under certain conditions salesmen and their employers are exempt from the provisions of the law as it op crates in Oregon, Cameron said. However, employes must oper ate for a full calendar year and then ask for exemption from the state commission in order to be eliminated for rseponsi bility for contributions to the fund. The commission now has a balance of approximately $65, 000,000, the speaker said. It deals with 10,000 active ac counts and has a list- of some 25,000 employers. Effective on June 15 of this year benefits will consist of $18 per week for a period of 20 weeks. The com mission has approximately 125 employes as against 500 in 1938. Building permits: W, R.

Branch Plants To be Solicited From the Salem Chamber of Commerce a letter is going out to corporations that have branch plants in Salem, asking for their support in the campaign to raise $65,000 as an operating fund for the Salem long-range plan ning commission. Some of these concerns, it was said, have al ready contributed to the fund. Stressed in the campaign, which, by the way, is progress ing smoothly and satisfactorily, is the argument that proper city planning may ultimately save millions of dollars in taxpayers' money by preventing blunders in the location of industries and various other businesses that may have to be remedied in fu ture years. "The planning program," said President Loyal Warner of the Chamber of Commerce today, "is more than a post-war pro ject. It envisages a progressive, continuing effort under volun tary leadership of 10 of the most able and influential men in the community. Under their direction a competent, practical engineer of excellent reputation will be employed to carry out the technical phases. It Is esti mated that the engineering, ar chitectural and research work will require $65,000 for a five year period, or approximately $13,000 a year. "They feel that the money subscribed for it is a good in vestment which will prevent ex pensive blunders in haphazard post-war growth and construc tion." Amity The WSCS met In the social rooms of the Methodist church Wednesday afternoon. The decorations were led by Mrs. Lucy Massey. During the business meeting it was voted that a family no-host dinner be served in the church dining room, Sunday, April 29, after the morning church service.

Dencep Funeral Held Funeral services were held Friday afternoon at the W. T. Rigdon chapel, with Rev. Ches ter Hamblin officiating, for Dr. Phillip H. Dencer, early Ore gon and Washington dentist, who died at a Salem hospital Wednesday. The doctor, who learned his profession under Dr. B. F. Mer edith in Salem many years ago, was born in Minnesota, April 30, 1857, and with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Valentine Dencer, came to Oregon in 1875. Decem ber 25, 1889, at a ceremony read in Salem, he was married to Lizzie Degraff of Minnesota, who died in May, 1917. Dr. Dencer, a resident of Sa lem and member of the city's volunteer fire department when the fire engine was pulled by hand instead of drawn by hors es, practiced dentistry in Spra gue. Wash., for 20 years and in 1909 moved to Bend, Ore. There he purchased a farm where he resided until coming to Salem for medical treatment two weeks ago, after being in failing health for some time. A life time member of the Presbyterian church, Dr. Den cer was prominent in the church's activities and was ac tive in civic affairs in the com munities where he made his home. Surviving are a brother, Ed ward Dencer of Salem, and two sisters, Mrs. Barbara Lorence of Monmouth and Mrs. Lucy Kas par of Newberg. No Gl Favored for San Francisco Meet Paris, April 21 (P The army newspaper Stars and Stripes to day vetoed a suggestion . by Senator Magnuson (D Wash.), that it select a combat soldier to represent the GI's at the world security conference in San Francisco. "The typical GI x x x would be a two-headed calf at a world conference for dignified study of a confusing situation," the newsaper said, adding that the soldier would be wined, dined and flattered but would be com pletely bewildered by the com plexity of the problems to be examined. America's eight trained dele gates are competent to repre sent soldier opinion as well as the rest of the nation, the paper said, "and that's good enough for us." 62 Canadians Freed London, April 21 VP) The U. S. 87st Infantry division freed 82 Canadian soldiers captured at Dieppe when it overran the German city of Tambach, a field dispatch to the Times said today. Parent-Teachers Valley Group Discuss Current Problems Members of the Parent-Teacher association from Marion, Polk, Benton, Linn and Yamhill counties, Friday in a conference at the Chamber of Commerce, at their morning session heard their two speakers, Mrs. O. C. Ufford of f- Fort Collins, Colo., a national regional vice president of the organization, and Mrs. Cornelia Packer emphasize the fact that the responsibility of the success of the people of the next genera tion In coping with not only their community problems but those of the nations rests on the shoulders of their parents. Especially stressed was the fact that the parents are the ones responsible for the amount and type of education received by the children. Mrs. Ufford, the main speaker at the morning session, noted that it is the duty of the Indi vidual members of the PTA to serve the child for he is build ing today for what he will be tomorrow. Children, she stated, cannot wait to be well educated, for they live today and tomor row and must be dealt with now and tomorrow. Commenting on those persons who complain about the amount of money spent on education, Mrs. Ufford stated that the lar ger the sum spent in educating people the higher the returns, not only In better citizenship but economically, for the better educated hold better positions and have a greater buying pow er. She noted that in a recent survey (t was shown that the buying power of a state was directly related to the money expended in that state on edu cation. Of adolescent delinquency the speaker said there is no adoles cent delinquency, only adult, teacher and community delin quency. She advocated a com munity recreation program not as a cure for juvenile delin quency, for the trouble, she stated, lies not In the child but adults responsible for the shap ing of his life, but as an exper ience in citizenship for child ren. Stress was placed on promot ing a health education program j of the type that begins when the j child enters school, and Mrs. Uf ford then touched on the parti Capital Joqrnal, Salem, Ore., British Force Nazi Elite Guard To Bury Piles of Slain Victims By William Frye Belsen, Germany, April 20 M) The dead were getting a burial today at this fearsome concentration camp each nameless dead getting a ghastly burial. No coffins or flowers at this funeral. No tears or well-bred sympathy. f No music These naked corpses were hauled in trucks and dumped into a pit. Their pall bearers were SS (elite guard) men and women, now allied prisoners. Their litany was the hoarse shouts of British soldiers, sick with disgust and fury, ordering these marked members of Hit ler's chosen legions about their horrible task. I saw Belsen its piles of lifeless dead and its aimless swarms of living dead. Their great eyes were just animal lights in skin-covered skulls of famine. Some were dying of typus. Priorities for Projects Here Priorities for two projects at state Institutions in Salem, have been authorized by the War Production Board for immediate construction, C. T. Mudge, dis trict priorities chief at Fort land, announced today. An application from the Ore gon state purchasing depart ment was approved for con struction of five bathroom ad ditions to the state hospital at Salem. Estimated cost is $50, 000. It was not disclosed whe ther this work has any connec tion with the $550,000 two- story therapeutic treatment building which Architect Pie tro Belluschl of Portland is de signing for postwar construc tion at the state hospital. Another project approved for construction at Salem was a 9 by 30-foot addition to the boiler plant and rearrangement of the boiler roof equipment to allow installation of two new boilers complete with oil burners at the State School for the Deaf. Plans are to be ready inside of a month at which time the state board of control Is expected to invite bids for the work which will cost in the neighborhood of $23, 980. Nazi Refuge Liner Sunk Malmoe, Sweden, April 21 W) The 17,000-ton liner Pretoria of the German East Africa Lines loaded with refugees and bound for Copenhagen, struck a mine south of Oresund and sank with in a few minutes early today, reports from Denmark said. The North German Lloyd ship Pots dam was reported to have reached Copenhagen safely with other refugees. that the PTA had played in pro moting this program by encour aging preventive measures in control of contagious diseases The control of cancer and its study is a project now being un dertaken by the group, and two reasons were given for its selec tion, the fact that more chil dren are left motherless from cancer than any other disease and more children under 10 years of age die from the dread ed disease than from polio. Mrs. Packer, the first speaker at the morning session, brought out the fact that the changing world had necessitated the edu cation for world citizenship and emphasized the part that fath ers in a community should play in the education of a child with so many of the fathers away at war. Addressing the group at their luncheon meeting was Mrs. Harry H. George, president of the Oregon congress of PTA, who told of the work done by PTA groups and made a com parison of the activities of the organization during the last war and this war. She noted that in World war I membership had dropped because the members had turned to war work, where as the PTA this year was pro moting the work within their group and taking it as one of their projects, whleh is prob ably one of the reasons that the state's membership now stands at 41,551, 4000 more than its go'al for the year. IOC o S First Methodist Church Down Town The MornlnR Worship 10:50 "Be Still and Know," a ser mon by Rev. John L. Knight, Counselor on Religion at Willamette University. Friends and Visitors In I0E30E Saturday, April 21, 19459 some of typhoid, some of tu- berculosis, but most were just dying of starvation. Starvation the flesh on their bodies had fed on itself until there was no flesh left, just skin covering bones and the end of all hope, and nothing left to feed on. Tragically, there is still hops inside these still-breathing ca davers. As long as eyes can stars from the bodies scattered every where on the floors and on the ground there is hope. Hope in. these for whom there is no hope. They are living but they cannot live. No food, no care can save them. Ahead of them is noth ing nothing but that pit with the bulldozer waiting to cover them with earth. Nothing well, there Is one thing, the knowledge that after months of bestiality there is suddenly, unbelievably, friend liness and goodwill among men. At least they will die aware of that. Countless thousands soma say 30.000, some say more died without even that comfort. Died horrible deaths before the British second army reached! this camp on the Aller river southeast of Bremen Sunday. I saw these dead hundreds and thousands lying in ditches and against walls of drab huts and piled in heaps, each one in a grotesque attitude In a gro tesque mound. Some were cloth ed, but most were naked. Their nakedness was of no account because there had long ceased to be anything recognizable hu man about them, even befora the last flicker of life disap peared. This is what I heard: Josef Kramer, SS commander of Belsen now under close ar r e s t, previously commanded Auschwitz, where children were taken from their mothers and burned alive, where a gas cham ber killed thousands, where Kramer kept his own orchestra to entertain him with Strauss waltzes while abdominations were practiced under his com mand outside his window. Russians Baffle (Continued from Page 1) Fuerstenberg - Strausberg Bernau line, the German high command said. Still farther north other Rus sian forces were declared to have forced two bridgeheads over the Oder between Schwedt and Stettin, guarding the north ern approaches to Berlin. Three Million in Berlin "Great Russian encircling moves are drawing closer to wards the capital," the German transocean agency said. "Rus sian spearheads have reached the northeastern, eastern and southern suburbs of Berlin." Both German and Russian ac counts described the fighting along the outskirts of Berlin as a violent tank battle with the Russians making use of planes to disperse German armored formations. An earlier German broadcast said that 3,000,000 persons still were in fire-blackened Berlin "awaiting the battle." Memorial Program Planned by Chapter Amity Amity chapter, OES, met Monday evening in the Masonic hall. Mrs. Margaret Morse, chaplain, and Mrs. Em ma Simpson, treasurer, were escorted to the east where the worthy matron, Mrs. Edith Law, presented each with a gift from the chapter in honor of her birthday anniversary.
