Outcome of a friendly law suit instituted by the Oregon Business and Tax Research, Inc., of Portland will have no effect upon the budget of the Salem school district, Connell Ward, clerk and manager stated Mon day. The local budget was set up on a basis that did not take into consideration the validity of house bill 403, passed by the recent legislature which is be ing tested in the courts. It is alleged in the complaint that H.B. 403, which amended the Oregon budget law in several respects, and which was signed by the governor, is not the same bill that the legislature enacted because a certain legislative conference committee report was omitted. The taxpayer group brought the suit to deter mine whether a legislative bill becomes a law in the form signed by the governor or in the form approved by the legislature.

Salem Court News II I ( Portland Wins Jaycee Trophy Portland Junior Chamber of Commerce was winner of the annual Gcissenbier trophy award as the chamber with the year's outstanding record of ac complishments in the annual conference here that closed Sun day afternoon. Basis of the award was the record made in membership, fi nance, civic activities, recrea tional activities, junior cham ber relationships, extension and publicity. The expansion award for the year went to the junior chamber of Klamath Falls. In the annual election of state officers Lee Stidd of Portland was the choice of the conference for president, succeeding of Lof ton L. Tatum of Portland who was elected a national director. Other officers elected were: vice presidents, Merle Nash of Eu gene, Marvin Hixson of Kla math Falls, and Vern Van Vran ken of La Grande; secretary, Bruce Gilbert of Bend; treasur er, Victor Milnes of Medford. Steps were taken by wives of junior chamber members to or ganize a state auxiliary, the wo men meeting at a breakfast at the Marion hotel. Mrs. Wilfred Jossey of Bend was elected tem porary secretary.' The sugges tion was made that auxiliary chapters be formed in all cities having junior chambers. After adjournment many of the visitors visited Oregon State penitentiary and the state forestry buildings. Attendance was larger than at many pre vious state conferences. City Budget Offers Problem How the city is going to meet the question of firemen's pen-. sions is one of the serious prob lems to come before the Salem budget committee which holds its first meeting to consider ac tual figures tonight, just prior to the city council meeting. Requested for pensions is a $22,000 item in the tentative budget, which seems to be an impossible figure in view of necessary cuts to come within the 6 percent tax limitation. Two proposals were heard to day. One of these was to bring in a bill for repeal of the fire men's pension act, and let the state pension act passed by the recent legislature take care of the situation. Another was to reduce the $22,000 to about $2000, or just enough to meet possible firemen retirements this year, and then invoke the state act. The state act applies to all public employes. Municipalities automatically come under the state act unless the government al body rejects it. In munici palities where there is an ex isting pension act, as in Salem, the state act can be used by contract between municipality and state. Should a move be made to repeal the Salem firemen's pen sion act the intention would be to have it voted on at the June 22 special election. . Sub-committees on budget items will report at the meeting. At the city council meeting tonight an ordinance bill will be introduced to issue $83,000 in refunding bonds. It would pay off an equal issue of 1935 on which the city is paying 3 lA per cent interest and on the new issue about half that rate would be paid.

States Can Void Reno Divorces Washington, May 21 U.R The supreme court held today that each state may decide for itself whether to recognize the validity of the six-weeks resi dence under which Nevada grants divorces. The 6 to 3 ruling, written by Justice Felix Frankfurter, affirmed the convictions of a Pineola, N. C, couple 'for "bi gamous cohabitation." The couple O. B. Williams and Lillie Shaver Hendrix twice were convicted in North Carolina courts. The legal entanglement arose after Williams and Mrs. Hen drix went to Nevada in 1940, established residence there for six weeks, obtained uncon tested divorces at Las Vegas from former spouses, then got married and returned to North Carolina. The state of North Carolina refused to recognize their Nevada divorces. The high court upset their first convictions in 1942, hold ing that it was legal to serve notice by publication on the ex mates which they left behind. At that time, the court said Nevada divorces were valid. But the couple was given a new trial in North Carolina and a jury re-adjudged them guilty, this time on grounds that they had not established a bonafide residence in Nevada and that their short stay there consti tuted a "fraud" on North Caro lina. The North Carolina su preme court affirmed the ver dict and the case again was ap pealed to the high court.

Firemen Hear From Vet Sons John Stettler and Durleigh Johnson, both Salem firemen, had surprise telephone calls Thursday from their sons who are in the armed services. John Stettler, Jr., who has seen service with the marines at Guam, Bougainville, Guad alcanal and Iwo Jima, called his father from San Francisco. Two hours later Thomas G. Stettler called from Oakland. He is in the navy and saw service among other places in the Paci fic, in the Marianas. Neither son knew the .other had re turned to the States until Thom as was informed by their father. So Thursday night they had a reunion at Treasure Island. John, Sr., will leave Sunday night for Oakland to meet both boys. Cpl. Gerald Johnson, who is in the army air corps, called his father from Hamilton Field, Calif. He has seen 32 months of service in the south Pacific. John Johnson, motor machinst's mate in the navy, called from Shoemaker, Calif. He has had 24 months service in the Pacific. Both boys are returning imme diately to service. A third son, Robert Johnson, radarman sec ond class, is with the navy in the Pacific, having seen action at Iwo Jima, Okinawa and other places. Overwhelming (Continued from Page 1) set a precedent for such cere monies. "Through him (Lindsey) we pay a grateful nation's tribute to the courage of all our fight ing men," the president said. Fought 8 Germans "The history of this war is filled with countless acts of va lor by our soldiers and sailors and marines under fire." The president pointed out that no officer ordered Lindsey, when wounded, "to engage eight Germans in hand to hand combat." "Those decisions came from his own heart," the president asserted. "They were a flash of the nobility which we like to think is a part of every Ameri can. They were the unselfish valor which can triumph over terrible odds. They were the very essence of victory." Since the war started, he said, 223 Medals of Honor have been awarded to members of the armed forces, 162 In the army, 33 in the navy, 27 in the marine corps and one to the coast guard. 50 Die in Battle Of the 100 infantrymen so honored, 50 died in performing the acts for which they were cited. "It seems fitting that in this symbolic ceremony we should honor an infantryman," Mr. Truman stated. "There is little glamor in his service. He faces not only the enemy before him, but the cold and heat, the rain and snow, the dust and inud, which so often make his life miserable. These things he en dures, and arises above them to such valorous deeds as those we celebrate today." The president expressed hope that every man and woman in the nation "will reverently thank God that we have pro duced such sons as these." Platoon Leader Many of the medals have been presented at White House ceremonies, but that was the first at the capitol with congress present. Lindsey was a platoon lead er In the 1 6tJ regiment of the first army's first division when the nazis counter-attacked near Hamich, Germany, last Novem ber 16. A fresh company of Germans, aided by five tanks, concentrated the full force of their assault on the remnants of his platoon. Although wounded in the knee, Lindsey refused to be evacuated. Time and again he repulsed the advancing nazis with his accurate rifle fire. When his ammunition gave out, he fixed his bayonet, and, ex posing himself to fire, met the enemy in open terrain. Closing in, he slashed and stabbed, killing three and cap turing three. During the entire action he accounted personally for 20 killed, an untold number of wounded and three captured. He also knocked out two ma chine guns and captured two others. Lindsey arrived in New York by plane yesterday from Cze choslovakia. Told of the plans for today's ceremony, he said: "Boy, that's something, hold ing up the president. I'm sure glad I made it on time." Carl Hogg has returned from a short visit to his cabin at Paul ina lake. He was accompanied by C. Moran, of the Photo Arts studio, Portland. DR. WILL J.

"After I was deported to Ger many, my wife gave the Ger mans no peace until they grant ed her permission to come Join me," the white-haired socialist leader said. "After her arrival they let us marry. My wife showed iron courage throughout and shared my life of intern ment." Blum's first wife died in 1935. His present wife formerly was married to Henri Torres, French lawyer now In the United States. Blum said the American troops who liberated him and his wife in an Austrian moun tain village on May 4 "treated us with a kindness and courtesy we shall never forget." He said he would resume his post as chief editor of the so cialist newspaper Populaire. But he wouldn't discuss his po litical future.

"The first Institution of community life has been in most cases the retail store. It Is the retailer who has made our Chambers of Commerce the organizations which have been set up to handle the public re lations for our respective cities and towns. "We are here today to dis cuss some of these problems which not only affect the re tail Interests of our towns, but in a larger sense affect the re tail interests of the entire val ley. We are here today to dis cuss how we can work together and to lay plans for future co operation. Not all of the prob lems and opportunities whiph confront us can be discussed to day, but we can at least make a start.

Navy Investing -In Double Sense Washington, May 21 Un A war bond statement from Ad miral Harold R. Stark, com mander of U. S. navy forces in Europe: "The word 'invest' has sev eral meanings. In one sense, the word means to lay siege to attack. In another, It means to lay out capital for perman ent use. The navy, I am proud to say, is 'investing' In both senses. "Today we are laying siege to, attacking, the enemy with all our might. Today, also, the American government is pro viding the opportunity, to all of us, for laying out our savings for productive use In the days to come. "For the sake of our families, for the high sake of our coun try, we must continue to "in vest and 'invest', attack and save, until the enemy is ours, until the future is ours."
