40 Cases of Polio
In State This Year
Portland, Aug. 13 W) Ore
gon has had 40 cases of polio
meylitis this year, Dr. Harold
Erickson, slate health officer,
reported today, an Increase of
10 in the past week.
"We are not alarmed," he
said, "as this is only slightly
above normal, but naturally we
are watching it closely. The
next two weeks will tell wheth
er we are to have an epidemic."
He pointed out that in 1943
there were fewer than 40 cases
at this time when the disease
suddenly spread and reached
a record high of 4 IS.
II Ducers Body
Recovered
Milan, Aug. 13 (U.W The body
of Benito Mussolini, unearthed
from its pauper's grave here on
April 22 by fascist fanatics, was
recovered last night from the
Certosa convent at Pavia, 25
miles south of Milan, police re
ported early today.
Officials apparently got their
clue to the body's whereabouts
from Antonio Parozzi, a 20-year-old
fascist, who confessed
last week that he and four oth
ers stole the corpse from its
first resting place.
Police said they would hold
the body in Milan until instruc
tions were received from gov
ernment officials at Rome. It
was brought to police headquar
ters in a reinforced trunk cov
ered with two waterproof sacks.
Attached to the makeshift cof
fin was a note signed "Marco,'
which said the body had been
buried twice since the first ex
humation in Milan, "Marco"
was identified as Domenico Lec-
cesi, self-proclaimed founder of
the democratic fascist party,
who was arrested several weeks
ago.
The Milan police chief said
he believed the body had been
hidden for a long time in the
Angelicum convent at Milan
headed by Father Enrico Zuc
ca, who was arrested yesterday
Father Lamberto, director of
the Certosa convent, said he re
ceived the body Monday for
"temporary custody." He said
the corpse was delivered to him
by Father Alberto Parini, of the
Angelicum convent.
The police chief said the text
of the note and depositions tak
en indicated that Fathers Par
ini and Zucca were responsible
for hiding the body since May 7.
Mystery Veils
Seized Pilots
Belgrade, Aug. 13 W) U.S.
slate departments officials en
countered a veil of silence to
day in their attempts to learn
the wheareabouts of the occu
pants of an American C-47
army transort plane who have
been held incommunicado by
Yugoslav authorities since their
ship was forced down near
Ljubljana by Yugoslav fighters
last Friday.
Harold A. Shantz, charge
d'affairs in the U.S. embassy
said that a Yugoslav officer in
charge at the scene of the crash
landing had refused to tell the
American consul at Zagreb,
where the occupants of the
plane had been interned.
"We have been given no In
dication as to when they will
be released," said Shantz.
Mystery still surrounded the
circumstances -under which the
plane was grounded. There
was no authoritative Informa
tion today as to whether the
transport was forced down by
aerial maneuvering by Yugo
slav fighter planes or by actual
gunfire.
The consul from Zagreb was
refused permission yesterday
to see the interned passengers
or crew members, or view the
plane at close range.
Romania Asks
(Continued from Page 1)
In passing, he also bespoke
opposition to the suggestion that
final settlement for Italy await
the German peace terms, de
claring: "Peace with Germany
can have no bearing whatever
one Trieste."
Molotov recalled that it was
only after the Russia victory
at Stalingrad and the allied vic
tories in North Africa and south
ern Italy that Italy got out of
the war and "began to reor
ganize on a democratic basis."
"It was not easy for the new
Italy to stand firm after the
downfall of fascism . . . Italy can
not become a democratic coun
try unless she roots out the last
vestiges of fascism," he said.
Molotov charged that "cer
tain powers are trying to gain
power in the Mediterranean at
the expense of Italy and
France," and said both countries
should "feel responsibility as
Mediterranean slates."
The head Ethiopian delegate,
A to Akilou Habte Wold, fol
lowing Molotov, answered the
applause which greeted h I m
wilh the remark:
"At this touching moment I
can not help remembering an
other scene in which Italian
fascists hissed the monarch be
fore the League of Nations."
(He referred to the occasion
when Emperor Haile Selassie
made a personal appeal before
the league at Geneva in a vain
protest against the Italian inva
sion of Ethiopia in 1939.)
Settle Dispute on
Traffic Signals
A slight difference of opin
ion as to where the poles should
be placed was being ironed out
Tuesday afternoon in connec
tion with the traffic signal proj
ect at North Commercial, Lib
erty and High street crossings
of Center. With this matter
settled the contractors were ex
pected to go to work on the
program. W. M. Hamilton,
Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon,
manager for the Portland Gen
eral Electric company, said the
temporary wooden poles would
later be replaced with metal
standards similar to those now
in use on the South Liberty
street bridge. The new street
illumination, tied in with the
traffic regulation, will consist
of four lamps at each intersec
tion. Each lamp will have a
rating of 6000 lumens as com
pared with 2500 lumens for the
lights that are now in use in
most parts of the city.
Acheson Says
'No Comment'
Washington, Aug. 13 WV
Undersecretary of Stale Ache
son said today he personally is
very much interested in reports
of rockets flying over Sweden
but that the Swedes have not
sought any American advice on
the subject.
Unofficial but widely publish
ed speculation has been that the
rockets were experimental mis
siles fired from Russian-controlled
territory.
On another question involv
ing the Soviets, Acheson reclin
ed at his news conference to
confirm or deny reports that
the Russians had asked Turkey
to accept joint Soviet-Turkish
"defense" of the Dardanelles.
These reports were to the effect
that Russia was seeking to ex
clude the United Slates from
further participation in treaties
controlling that important pass
age between the Mediterranean
and the Black Sea.
Acheson said the stale depart
ment was continuing to look
into reports of the forcing down
of American pilots by Yugoslav
ian fighter planes. A trouble
some situation has been caused
for some time, he said, by the
fact that Yugoslav territory juts
out on the direct air route be
tween Vienna and Rome. All
American fliers are instructed
not to cross it, he said, but some
may do so inadvertently.
Other points developed at the
news conference included these:
Palestine Acheson said the
situation there is too explosive
for public discussion now, and
the state department is in con
stant communication with the
British foreign office.
Army to Release
C-54's to Lines
Washington, Aug. 13 OJ.R)
the military services soon will
release to commercial airlines
a large number of four-motored
Douglas transports to break a
log-jam in international air
travel, it was disclosed today.
The office of W. Stuart Sym
ington, assistant secretary of
war for air, said C-54's, which
carry up to 50 passengers, were
needed badly despite the pros
pective return to service of
some 45 Lockheed Constella
tions. The army and navy originally
were asked to make available
lo commercial firms 55 of the
Douglas planes as replacements
for the Constellations which
wereg rounded July 11 after a
Trans-World Airlines Constel
lation crashed at Reading, Pa.
The government which
grounded the Constellations,
has ordered modifications which
will bring them back into serv
ice within two or three weeks
and which according to Lock
heed Aircraft corporation and
the airlines that use them will
make them luxury airliners of
unsurpassed safety.

tion of candidacy for an alder
manship from the first ward

Washington Shy
Of Pension Fund
Olympin, Wash.. Aug. 13 (U.B
Gov. Mon C. Wallgren told
a delegation of over 100 old
age pensioners that marched on
the capitol here today that "We
can't appropriate any more
money for old age pensions if
we haven't got it."
He said the state social secur
ity program is "already eight
million dollars in (he red, and
to apply the escalator clause in
the state social security law
would put the program another
one million in the hole."
The escalator clause provides
for a five percent increase in
state pension grants under con
ditions of Increased living costs.

Indian Claims
Bill Signed
Washington, Aug. 13 (VP)
Representatives of Indian tribei
today watched President Tru
man sign into law legislation
creating an Indian claims com
mission. Four of the Indians were
dressed in tribal costumes. They
stood behind the president
along with other tribal repre
sentatives and government of
ficials. Boyd Jackson of the
Snake Indians of Klamath, Ore ,
was among the witnesses.
To the Redman it was a step
which he believes will give him
a day "in court" on hundreds
of claims against the United
States for alleged unlawful
taking of lands and for alleged
treaty violations.
After the signing ceremony,
the president was presented
with a "pipe of peace" by for
mer Senator Robert L. Owen
of Muskogee, Okla. Owen said
the pipe was smoked by Chief
Sitting Bull for 15 years.
The new law creates a com
mission to pass on all tribal
claims. The claims must be fil
ed within five years or be
barred from considerat ion
thereafter.
The commission will be re
quired to approve or disapprove
the claims within 10 years and
congress then will consider ap
propriations to pay them.
Under previous procedure,
tribes having claims first had
to get congress to pass legisla
tion permitting them to file
suit in the court of claims. In
many instances a single objec
tion by a congress member has
prevented passage.
Far West Spent
$10 Billion, July
San Francisco, Aug. 13 W
The far west spent $10,000,000,
000 last month, on a conserva
tive estimate.
The estimate was based on
the cashing of checks totaling
$8,265,150,000 in 31 cities in the
Salt Lake-Seattlc-San Diego
triangle. That figure was re
ported today by the Federal Re
serve bank.
The rest of the 10 billion
estimate for July was spending
by check in hundreds of small
er communities, and total cash
spending for all purposes. The
latter is figured at 10 percent of
the check total, but probably
runs higher in view of the large
supply of currency.
Total spending ran more than
three times that of the 1939
month, Just before the war
storm broke in Europe. There
is the basis for one's own esti
mate of inflation, for whoever
cares to make it: triple the spend
ing on a smaller quantity of
goods (not to mention quality).
The smaller quantity was em
phasized by the dearth of auto
mobiles, a business that nor
mally absorbs a large amount of
money, and in 1939 took around
$211,000,000 for new passenger
cars in California alone.
Per capita spending was
about $714 last month, compar
ed with around $292 In July,
1939. The increase in popula
tion since 1939 went with an in
crease in spending of better than
$2,000,000,000 a month, at last
month's average for roughly
3,000,000 new westerners.
Fresno chalked up the big
gest gain reported among the
31 cilies, its $120,000,000 put
ting July checks up to $1.72 for
every 1945 dollar.
Others running $1.50 or bet
ter for every dollar of July last
year Included Berkeley, Sacra
mento, San Bernardino, Santa
Barbara, Santa Rosa, Reno, Eu
gene and Salem.
Army Exhibits to
Be Staged at Fair
Two educational army exhib
its will be displayed for the
first time in Oregon at the state
fair here, September 2 to 8,
Manager Leo Spitzbart an
nounced Tuesday. The two free
shows will display many mili
tary items formerly classified
as "top secret."
The exhibits occupy the area
formerly used by farm machin
ery concerns, which have donat
ed their space to the army. Lack
of machinery lo exhibit caused
a majority of the farm compa
nies to donate the space after
having paid for their usual ex
hibition areas.
The V-l buzz bomb will be
among the items Included In the
exhibits which nre sponsored by
the army ground force and the
army air force. Troops will be
on hand to demonstrate how the
equipment was employed in
combat.
More than 400 officers and
men are expected to lake part
in the displays during the fair.
A 100th anniversary com
memorative stamp, honoring the
Smithsonian Institution, is now
on sale at the Salem postoffice.
The stamp of the three cent
denomination is of special de
livery size and maroon in color.
It bears a reproduction of the
Institution building with t h e
words "For the increase and dif
fusion of knowledge among
men," across the top.
