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.

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

French Premier Leon Blum
was married while jailed by the
Germans to a woman who
fought her way to his side, he
revealed in an interview today.
"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

No definite action was taken
on a number of subjects dis
cussed, but will be gone into
on a policy basis later. These
include holiday closing of stores,
a plan of inter-city advice on
operation of rackets, and soma
other matters.
The Salem Retail Trade bu
reau, headed by Mr. Miller, and
the Salem Chamber of Com
merce took the initiative in call
ing the meeting.
"The civil life of every ona
of our communities revolves
around the retailers within those
communities," Loyal Warner,
president of the Salem chamber
said in calling the meeting to
order. "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.
"If we hear In mind the les
sons we have learned within our
own towns through the coopera
tion between business competi
tors, then we can gain signifi
cant results by applying these
lessons In a consideration of
our problems within the region
al community the Willamette
valley."

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."
