"Must fou do EVERYTHING
Other than the bare informa
tion that the federal works
agency had awarded Willamette
university one building from
Camp Adair to be used as an
infirmary, President G. Herbert
Smith said Wednesday that he.
had no confirmation as to the
type of structure which is being

which is readily adaptable into
an infirmary. These units are
piped for steam heat, are ap
proximately 90 feet long and 24

ed on the campus has not been
determined. President Smith had
hoped that property just off the
campus could be secured, but

more than the university could

Highlights of Truman's
United Nations Speech
New York, Oct. 23 W Topical highlights of President Tru
man's address today before the general assembly of the United
Nations:
War Alarms. Lately we have all heard talk about the possi
bility of another world war. Fears have been aroused (11 over the
world. These fears are unwarranted and unjustified ...
Allied Friction. Differences have arisen among the allies. It
will not help us to pretend that this is not the case. But it is not
necessary to exaggerate the differences.
For my part, I believe there is no difference of interest that need
stand in the way of settling these problems . . .
Spheres of Interest, Above all, we must not permit differences
in economic and social systems to stand in the way of peace . , .
To permit the United Nations to be broken into irreconcilable
parts by different political philosophies would bring disaster to
the world.
Atomic Warfare. Two of the greatest obligations . . . toward the
removal of fear remain to be fulfilled.
First, we must reach an agreement establishing international
controls of atomic energy that will ensure ita use for peaceful
purposes only ...
Second, we must reach agreement that will remove the deadly
fear of other weapons of mass destruction ...
Shackles for War. We shall also press for . . . agreements in
order that the security council may have at its disposal peace
forces adequate to prevent acts of aggression.
Formula for Peace. Difficult as the task may be, the path along
which agreement may be sought ... is clearly defined.
Every member of the United Nations is legally and morally
bound ... to keep the peace . . . Every member is bound to re
frain in its international relations from the the threat, or use, of
force against the territorial integrity or political independence of
any state.
Planning, initiating or waging a war of aggression is a crime
against humanity for which individuals as well as states shall be
tried before the bar of international justice.
Veto. The United States believes that the rule of unanimous
accord among the five permanent members of the security council
imposes upon these members a special obligation . . .
The exercise of neither veto rights nor majority rights can make
peace secure ...
America's Role. This meeting . , . symbolizes the abandonment
by the United States of a policy of isolation.
The United States will support the United Nations with all the
resources that we possess.
The use of force or the threat of force anywhere in the world
to break the peace is of direct concern to the American people.
We are not discouraged. We shall continue to seek agreement
by every possible means.
The American people look upon the United Nations ... as a
permanent partnership a partnership among the peoples of the
world for their common peace and common well-being.

Truman Talks
("Continued from Pape 11
He contrasted the United'
States as a host "to the present
assembly whereas its seat at the
first assembly of the old League
of Nations I'was empty" and said
today's meeting symbolized "the
abandonment by the United
States of a policy of isolation."
Peace Settlement.
The president told the dele-'
gates the assembly can not func
tion adequately until peace
settlements are made which form
"a solid foundation" for the fu-.
ture since its own task is pre
vention of future wars rather.
than settlement of the last one
The peace settlements, he said,
must rest upon freedom of
speech and religion, freedom
from want and freedom from
fear, above all the "freedom of
fear of war" which he said "is
attainable now."
"Lately we have all heard
talk about the possibility of an
other world war," Mr. Truman
continued. "Fears have been
aroused all over the world. These
fears are unwarranted and un-J
justified.
Willing Listeners.
"However, rumors of war still
find willing listeners in certain
places. If these rumors are not.
checked they are sure to impede,
world recovery."
He said people the world over
are "sick of war" and that an
other conflict would "shatter
the hopes of mankind and com
pletely destroy civilization as
we know It."
The United States, he said,
will continue to seek peace set
tlements which are fair to
smaller states and which uphold
human rights and "fundamen
tal freedoms."
"If the members of the United
Nations are to act together to
remove the fear of war," he
said, "the first requirement is
for the allied nations to reach
agreement on the peace settle-'
ments."
The president said he did not
share any fear "of the effects
of free and frank discussion" in
the United Nations since it pro
motes "understanding" that
helps remove fear of war.
At the same time, he said it
Is essential that the U. N. coun
cil be used "as a means for pro
moting settlement of disputes as.
well as for airing them."

Building Denial
Keenly Felt by
Refusal of the civilian production administration to okay the
proposed physical education building at Salem senior high school,
a denial that reached Connell Ward, public school business man
ager late Tuesday, means that-
the administration must get I
along under present crowded
conditions as best they can. A
contract for the hollow tile
structure had been let to Ed
Viesko last spring and quanti
ties of material had been placed
on the ground before CPA turn
ed thumbs down on the project.
Confirmation of action taken
by the building and grounds
committee went into the minutes
during Tuesday night's . school
board meeting. This included
sanctioning of the improvement
of grounds at senior and Leslie
junior high schools. At the for
mer place, a woven wire fence is
to be constructed from the east
entrance to the Southern Pacific
underpass, north to D street,
paralleling the tracks; comple
tion of the track and jumping
pits and seeding of the lower
field at Leslie and construction
of a fence from the bathhouse
south to Rural avenue to pro
tect the grounds from foot
traffic.
Leave for Teacher
Agnes Derry, English instruc
tor at senior high, who had been
unable to report for duty this
fall on account of illness, was
given a year's leave of absence.
Marjorie Hyatt will continue as
replacement on an assigned sub
stitute basis. Resignation of H.
H. Harris, machine shop instruc
tor at senior high because of
illness, was accepted and his son,
Russell Harris, was named suc
cessor. Phyllis Gufferoy Lam
bias has been named to a physi
cal education position in senior
high, completing the staff in that
department.
The board authorized the
signing of a transportation con
tract with the Polk county union
high school board and confirmed
the appointment of Dorothy
Hennen to a position in the En
glewood grade school.
Stating that the system was
short of substitute teachers in
some departments, Superinten
dent Frank B. Bennett said his
office would be glad to hear
from persons who were quali
fied to work on a part time
basis.

City Recorder Alfred Mundt.
Hatfield is 23, lives at 399 North

fire marshal.
Rent Control
(Continued from Page t
watched closely. Speaking for
organized labor Herbert E. Bar
ker, secretary of the Central
Trades and Labor council, said
retaliatory action undoubtedly
would be taken.
Meantime registration of land
yords at the OPA rent control
office in Salem was proceeding
slowly, still retarded as a result
of the Koehler suit. Neverthe
ess about 3000 landlords have
registered, and classifying of
their names and properties in
dicates, says local director Clara
A. Lee, that rent control is prob
ably not as fearsome a tlflng as
some of the landlords imagine.
Of the approximately 3000
who have registered, said Lee,
31 percent have not Increased
rentals since July 1, 1945,
which is the "freeze" date.
About 32 percent have made
justifiable increases in rents
since that date, and their ratos
are not exorbitant. The remain
der are entirely out of line and
charging exorbitant rentals.
In the entire local rent con
trol area, which covers the
whole of Marion county and
West Salem in Polk county, it
Is now estimated that registra
tions should roach 7800.
This estimate is made on the
experience of other cities where
rent control has been in effect,
and tnks into consideration Sa
em payrols, including those in
the employe of the state. Since
the estimate is that high a regis
tration of 3000 is not enough to
give the rent control office a
cross-section of classifications
and tends to delay adjustments.
Meantime instances of rental
abuse continue to be heard. One
is that of one room in a dwell
ing renting for $120 a month.
The one room, 15 by 18 feet,
available for sleeping only, is
shared by four ex-service men.
There are two single beds, a day
bed and an army cot. They are
charged, or at least recenly were
being charged $30 a month each.
The landlord hasn't registered
at the rent control office.
