Run-Around to Move Oil Tank There is no such thing as a "bee line" or "as the crow flies" in Marion county if one wants to move an empty fuel tank from Portland in Multnomah county to Shellburn in Linn county, or so the Rudie Wilhelm Warehouse company of Portland found out when it undertook the job. In securing a permit from the county court to move the tank, representatives of the company explained to the county court that the tank was so high that a lot of bridges along the route had insufficient clearance to let the tank pass under. So the company found it had to route the tank from Portland to Oregon City, turn off there to Molalla and enter Marion county at Monitor because of the bridges at Aurora and Jef ferson on the Pacific highway, then route the tank through Sil verton, Slayton and Mchama, but stopped at Mehama by the bridge, go on from there through Taylor's grove over the hill to Gates. But the river couldn't be crossed at Gates be cause of the bridge so the tank will go on up through Mill City, double back to Lyons and then over the mountain to Shellburn. "It's quite a run around," said a representative of the company, "but we hope to make it." Stores Close on Armistice Day Armistice day will be observ ed in the usual manner with stores closed, parade and patri otic program. Earl Andrcsen chairman of the Armistice day committee announces.

Despite Screams and Violence ! British Deport Jewish Refugees Haifa, Nov. 1 W) Despite defiant screams and intermittent violence, 1200 Jewish refugees were transferred today from the crowded almost-floundering immigrant ship San Dimitro to two Drives Car Into Parked Truck Louis Marcus Woodford, Wel- lesley court, Portland, drove his automobile into collision with a parked truck owned by R. E. West, route 6, in the 2700 block of Center street just after 2 o'clock Friday morning. Wood ford was taken to the nearby Salem General hospital by first aid men with a bleeding face, but the injury proved non-serious. Woodford said he was driving from Portland to Roseburg and was trying to find his way through Salem. Asked if he had dozed at the wheel, he said not, but that the standing truck had loomed suddenly before him and he couldn't avoid hitting it. The impact was severe enough to shove the truck across the curb with some damage and nearly ruin the front of Woodford's car. John and Zarelda Prince, 12 and 15 years old, were struck Thursday night at Winter and Fairgrounds by a car driven by James H. Cuthbert, 686 Mon mouth street.

Apples, Cowbell In Police News Unusual items that appear in police reports today involve apples and a cowbell. Mrs. Henry Thye was com fortable in her home at 305 South 18th Wednesday night when she was disturbed by what sounded like crashing glass. It was. Investigating, Mrs. Thye dis covered that someone had thrown apples through a win dow on the north side of the house. There were two apples in the room. One had gone through the upper and the other the lower pane of the window. She heard rapidly retreating footsteps, and attributed the vandalism to boys. Walter L. Rockhill, route 2, Turner, has a cowbell that he values highly, because it is of unusual style and of more than ordinary value. That s. Mr, Rockhill did have the bell until someone took it from his barn, It is a Swiss bell, round in shape and bronze, and scroll engraved, and has on it the words "Made in Switzerland." There is a 48-inch strap with the bell. The farm equipment is being liquidated, and Mr. Rockhill thinks a prospective buyer may have taken the bell, which he values at $15.

Report has been filed by Judith Cox at cuardisn of William Walter and Carol OaU Jensto, British vessels for deportation to Cyprus. The transfer followed by only a short time a general strike and mass meeting at which the deportation of the refugees was protested by Haifa's Jews. Two thousand Jews, leaving the mass meeting, marched on British street barricades but dispersed before any violence occurred. The marching Jews, facing signs in Hebrew and English reading "Disperse or we fire," broke up and went away sing ing Jewish anthems and carry ing black mourning flags. Raifa's 60.000 Jews stopped work at 8:30 a. m. for a two-and-a-half hour general strike and a mass meeting was held at which speakers cried "Our brothers already are starving in Cyprus." The San Dimitro was listing so badly that the red paint of her keel was visible above the waterline. The whole port area was un der rigid curfew and security was so strict that even customs. health an dimmigration officials were barred from their offices. Speakers told the mass meet ing that "Palestine will never be quiet while our ships and our brethern are deported." They mentioned the fact that tomor row is the anniversary of the 1917 Balfour declaration, which Arabs will protest their tradi tional all-day general strike.

Bennett Talks Gn School Bill Upon the success of the cam paign being waged for the basic school support bill rests the ability of the various districts to attract a high type of teach ers, said Frank B. Bennett, su perintendent of Salem schools as he addressed the Lions club Thursday noon. Given assur ance of a steady income that would provide a fairly high standard of living, an opportu nity for a bit of travel and a little left over for the time when their services are not longer needed, the speaker expressed the opinion that more young folk would be attracted to edu cation. Currently, he said, the younger generation is turning to professions that give assur ances of a higher standard of living than offered in the edu calional fields. Speaking more specifically concerning the basic school sup port measure. Superintendent Bennett said it would raise ap proximately $15,000,000, or about half of what is being spent annually in Oregon for cduca tion. The measure carries the provision that if the income tax is not sufficient to provide the $50 per child per year asked then property tax will make up the balance even though the 6 percent limitation must be ex ceeded. House Bombed, 3 Sailors Die Baltimore, Nov. 1 M) Three seamen were burned to death in a Tire which swept a waterfront rooming house early today and Battalion Chief Thomas Hea gerly of the fire department said a home-made incendiary bomb apparently was tossed into the living room. Police said the owner had re ccived a warning a week ago. A fourth man was critically burned, four others were hos pitalized with third degree burns and one other was injured when he and another man jump ed from a second floor window Chief Heagcrty said a one- gallon can which apparently had contained gasoline was found in the living room debris Patrolman Bernard E. Thorn- as said he was standing at a nearby intersection when he heard the large plate glass win dow in the front of the building crash. At the same time, Thomas said, he saw a man walking away from the building. He got into a car, which sped away Jesse Rodriguez, owner of the house, told police he had been acting as an agent for a Central- American steamship line. Po lice quoted him as saying an 18-inch monkey wrench with a nolo attached was hurled through the same window a week ago. The note, as releas ed at a district police station said: "Stop rooming finks in your house. This is your final warning." End Hotel Strike At Washington Washington, Nov. 1 UPi Set tlcment of the Washington hotel strike was announced by the White House today. Reconversion Director John R. Sleclman brought the hotel operators and representatives o the union to a final agreement this morning. Presidential Sec retary Charles G. Ross told special news conference. Ross said the terms of the agreement ending the strike which has kept 18 hotels in the nation s capital picketed for 21 days would be announced after a meeting of the hotel workers this afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Wood and two children will leave Sat urday morning for San Francis co, and arc scheduled to sail November 7 for Honolulu where they expect to make their home If the strike situation interferes with their sailing Mr. Wood said they would go by plane. Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon, Friday, Nov. 1, 194(5 13 Halloween Quiet in Salem But Albany Not Salem got by with a minimum of damage by Halloween prank sters and vandals, but Albany wasn't so lucky. And some of the serious damage in Albany was done by someone from Salem who is accused on a police report of "destroying numerous park ng meters ' Albany police furnished Sa- ! lem headquarters with the auto-! mobile license number of the wanted person. Salem police have identified the car owner and his address and Albany said a warrant for arrest would be is sued. The charge, it was indi cated, would be destruction of public property. Whether the offender is a juvenile or not is not shown on the report. Police reports indicate that about the only damage done in Salem was the chopping down of street signs, for which two ju veniles 17 and 16 years old were arrested. Using a hand ax that was confiscated by the police for evidence, the boys chopped down sign at Oxford and South Cottage, East Rural and Yew, East Rural and Berry, and How ard and Berry. Some complaints came in of paint bing smeared about to the extent of defacing property. and there were a few cases of defacement with soap, but soap is a pretty scarce article and mothers put quite a crimp in that amusement. Police headquarters reported 27 radio calls between dark and midnight on Halloween com plaints, and several juveniles were apprehended for violation of the curfew ordinance. The police department, however, had prepared ahead of time by re inforcing both afternoon and night shifts. 'We were ahead of the calls all evening," said Assistant Chief E. C. Charlton. Charlton thinks the heavy rain an 1 newspaper cooperation had something to do with reduc ing prankster operations. Price Controls (Continued from Page 1) OPA Chief Paul Porter in an nouncing the retrenchment pro gram on the heels of scores of decontrol actions declared that the government is handing most of the price control job back to American citizens." 'If citizens work as their neighbors worked on local boards," he added, "we can pre vent disastrous inflation dur ing this period when produc tion of goods is steadily increas ing to supply unfulfilled de mands." The bureau af labor statis tics reported meanwhile that wholesale food prices dropped an average of 3.2 percent in the week ended last Saturday compared with the previous week chiefly because of buyer resistance to high prices of meat, butler and lard, the bu reau said. However, the food index was still 49.8 per cent higher than on June 30, when OPA con trols were temporarily suspend ed, and 60 3 percent above the corresponding week last year. Latest additions to the decon trol list are a number of tex tile items classed as notions, in cluding collars, cuffs and neck bands for men's shirts; trouser and coat pockets; button hole banding and button hole tabs; knitted cuffs, waistbands and collars. Off Hats and Millinery These were added after OPA last night took ceiling tags off hats, millinery, handbags, neck ties ind about three dozen other clothing and apparel items, in cluding football, baseball and other sports uniforms. The agency said these items account for about 10 percent of the na tion's clothing bill. Also freed were household and cleansing powders (if they contain less than 5 percent soap), a group of steel products, silver, radio tubes, and parts and numerous industrial prod ucts. Drain Tile Placed By Stockton Workmen Stayton City workmen arc laying 800 feet of 8-inch drain tile drain pipe from Birst and Washington streets to Salem ditch near High. The pipe wi eliminate a large portion of the surface water that has been standing on the southeast cor ncr of First.

Nov. 1 lu.R) "Klondike Kate's" fears for the safety of her husband, John Matson, 83, proved to be well-founded today when his body was found on a frozen trail seven miles from his lonely cab in. John Scslck, local prospector and guide, returned today from a search instigated by Mrs. Mat son to report that Matson had apparently died from natural causes several months ago. Mrs. Matson, who lives in Bend, Ore , became worried ear ly this month when she failed to receive her semi-annual let ter from her trapper-hunter-prospector husband. She ar rived here a week ago after arranging with Seslck to make the 125-mile trek to Matson's isolated cabin on Matson creek. Communication between the couple was limited to two let ters per year, Matson trudg ing 60 miles on snowshoes every April and September to the nearest post office to his blizzard-swept shelter. Every second year Mrs. Mat- son would meet her husband in Dawson for a reunion before he returned to his claim to seek the gold that would make him rich. This winter Matson had planned to leave the northland to spend his first winter In the United States in more than 50 years. The Matsons were married in 1033 after having met at a par ly in Dawson during the early days of the territory's develop ment.
