Over 1000 Ask
Jobless Pay
Due to the usual slacking off
of seasonal employment, the
Salem office of the U. S. em
ployment service is now in the
process of taking care of nun
dreds of men and women who
are filing their claims for unem
ployment compensation. A high
mark in this connection was
reached one day last week when
685 persons were processed. On
the same day 316 were handled
at the Woodburn branch, bring
ing the total to more than 1,000
persons.
January 15 is usually the date
when the peak of unemployment
is reached, W. H. Baillie, Salem
manager stated Monday. Lay
ing off of a number of men,
many of whom have been work
ing on a year round basis, is
causing the rush for unemploy
ment pay at this time. He ad
ded that there is virtually no
demand for common labor, al
though several positions are
available for skilled help. Never
theless there are more persons
employed now than at a similar
time before the war, due to the
fact that there are more Indus
trial plants located here.
The logging industry has held
up well since last November's

The Salem farm labor office

than at any time in the history
of its operations This is due to
some extent to the arrival from
middle western states of people
who would like to settle in the

daily.
The situation is . expected to
improve materially next month
when farmers and orchardists
start seasonal operations once
more.

Pacific Highway Group Change
Name and Re-elect Koozer Head
The Oregon Pacific Highway
voted to change the name to "U.
planation given for the change
provincialism. The association'
by vote appointed Floyd L. Mar
tin of Portland to be its represen
tative at meetings of the Ore
gon state highway commission,
to attend in person or designate
some other person.
The a s s o ciation re-elected
Ralph E. Koozer of Ashland as
its president, and J. B. Coleman
of Medford was made chairman
of a committee on nomination of
directors who will be elected at
the afternoon session. The direc
tors will elect vice president, sec
retary and treasurer.
In changing the name of the
association members said they
believed it desirable to eliminate
the words "Oregon" and "Paci
fic," the first to eliminate any
hint of provincialism as against
Washington and California, and
the second to remove confusion
with the Coast highway. The
change will be filed with the
state corporation commissioner.
Maps or any other literature
bearing the new name will car
ry an explanatory line showing
it is an international highway.
In naming Martin, who is a
member of the roads and high
ways committee of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce, as offi
cial representative ,at meetings
of the highway commission it
was mentioned that ne could
conveniently attend, while mem
bers living a long distance from
Portland, where most meetings
are held, could not. Martin is
keenly interested in the high
way, and said that "improvement
of Highway 99 is 25 years be
hind and, if we don't get some
action it will stay that way."
Sectional bottlenecks in the
highway were discussed, but the
association decided not to bring
pressure for work in specific
spots, preferring to leave it to
the judgment of the state com
mission.
The California wing of the as
sociation was represented by O
G. Steele of Yreka.
Twelve Oregon cities are rep
resented in the association. Most
were represented.
Basic police subjects will be
covered in a training program of
regional schools for city police
men sponsored by the Oregon
Association of City Police Offi
cers during March and April
with officers of nearby towns in
vited to attend the series here.
The program will probably con
sist of one day of training each
week for eight weeks with in
structors to be drawn from fed
eral, state and local law enforce
ment officers and most of the
teachers from the FBI and Port
land. Salem is one of twelve ci
ties cooperating in the project.

Andrew J. Volstead
Volstead, Dry
Leader, Dies
Granite Falls, Minn., Jan. 21
(IP) Andrew J. Volstead,' the
man who more than any other,
personified prohibition in the
United States, died Monday at
his Granite Falls home after
having neen in virtual retire
ment since the federal statute
bearing his name was repealed
in 1933.
The western Minnesota county
lawyer served in congress for
20 years and was chairman of
the house judiciary committee
when an enforcement act to Im
plement the 18th amendment be
came necessary in 1918.
How much of that act Volstead
himself wrote remained his
secret when he died Monday at
the age of 87. But in the pop
ular mind that law became
known as the Volstead act when
it was passed by congress over
President Wilson's veto.
After his defeat in 1922, Vol
stead continued his campaign
against liquor started at the
level of his own county by be
coming legal adviser to the St.
Paul, Mtnn., district prohibition
enforcement headquarters, a
post he held until repeal came
in 1933.
Volstead was adamant in re
fusing interviews and pictures
and once hung up the telephone
on a London newspaper with
the comment: "It was just an
other wet newspaper."
Although it was prohibition
that won him fame, Volstead
was also credited with drawing
up and peeing enacted into law
the farmers' cooperative act and
the numerous bills to end the
broad powers of President Wil
son, granted in the emergency
of World War I.
Tax Bills
(Continued from Page 1)
Legislative ways and means
committee members estimated
today a state budget deficit of
at least $13,000,000, instead of
$6,000,0;0 as estimated by State
Budget Director George Aiken.
, Sen Dnan H. Walker, Indepen
dence, chairman of the senate
ways and means committee, said
a preliminary study showed a
$14,000,000 deficit, while Dr. F.
H. Dammasch, house ways and
means chairman, said the deficit
is about $13,000,000.
Both men emphasized that
their estimates are only tenta
tive, depending in a large meas
ure on 'he disputed estimates of
liquor profits for the next two
years
Governor Snell's proposal to
take up $6,000,000 of the deficit
by using corporation income tax
surpluses is expected to reach
the floor for final action in a
few days, but house leaders said
they doubt it will pass. They
believe the money should con
tinue to be used to reduce prop
erty taxes.
Woodburn Fights
Freeway Bill
The Woodburn district has
joined in the fight against the
freeway bill, which is coming
into the present session of the
legislature, and three Woodburn
men were in conference with the
Salem Chamber of Commerce,
the Marion county delegation
and others in opposition to the
measure.
Here from Woodburn were
Earl H. Mattson, mayor; Pat
McLaughlin, secretary of the
Woodburn Chamber of Com
merce. They said they were
representing not only their own
community, but business men all
along the highway, and farmers
whose access to Highway 99E
would be affected by the bill if
it were enacted into law.
J. H. Fullenwiodcr, of Carl

day night by the Willamette Pro

School Merger of Monmouth
And Independence Defeated
Monmouth, Ore., Jan. 21 A record vote of 401 ballots here
defeated the proposed merger with the Independence school dis- ;
trict and three small adjacent districts at the special election
Monday. Monmouth voters re -
jected the plan 261 to 140 though
Independence favored it 150 to
13. The Highland district was
unanimously for the merger
with 20 ballots cast while Parker
voted 9 to 7 for the merger.
Result of the Mistletoe dis
trict, not yet available, will not
have any effect. The district is
smaller than Highland with
around half its assessed valua
tion. If a protest is raised, there
may be a revote taken in the
Parker district because of the
closeness of the vote.
Heavy opposition developed
here over the week-end and a
determined campaign was
launched against the merger. The
plan considered sending all sen
ior high school students to Inde
pendence and all junior high
school students to Monmouth. As
a result of the election Highland
and Parker will be consolidated
with Independence. Misteltoe is
in the Monmouth area.
Major objection against the
consolidation was the cost of bus
es to transport pupils the short
distance between Monmouth and
Independence would be greater
than the construction of addi
tional facilities. Monmouth owns
its own buses while Independ
ence rents transportation. It was
also pointed out that many per
sons living in the area and em
ployed in Salem, West Salem and
Dallas would leave the district
when suitable living quarters
are available closer to the
scene of employment. Some com
plications also arose from the
fact that both the elementary
schools at Monmouth and Inde
pendence are state-owned train
ing schools for the Oregon Col
lege of Education in Monmouth
with 295 pupils enrolled at Mon
mouth and 375 at Independence.

Marshall
(Continued from Page 1)
Present at the ceremony in ad
dilion to Mr. Truman, were
Byrnes, the cabinet, high gov
ernment and congressional offi
cers, and friends of the general.
ihe former army chief of staff
arrived here by train from Chi
cago at 7:35 a.m., completing a
journey from China which was
interrupted by several days of
rest in Honolulu and by a brief
layover in Chicago where his
plane was grounded by bad
weather.
Marshall did not leave the
train until about an hour and a ,
half after its arrival at Union
station. When he finally em
erged from his private car, the
first thing Marshall did was to
give reporters the oral statement
in which he stated unequivocally
that he could not be drafted for
any political office.
Statement Issued
He said that he thought '"now
is as good a time and place as
any to terminate speculation" on
his future political activities.
I am assuming that the office
of secretary of state, at least un
der present conditions is non-po-
litical and I am going to govern
myself accordingly," Marshall
said.
"I will never became in
volved in political matters and
therefore I cannot be considered
a candidate for political office.
"There is a popular conception
that no matter what a man lays
he can be drafted for soma po
litical office."
But Marshall then added em
phatically: "I cannot be drafted for any
political office."
