Authoritative sources said President Truman has asked Henry F. Grady of San Fran cisco, assistant secretary of state in 1939 to 1941, to be the first ambassador to India. William Phillips of Beverly, Mass., a retired diplomatic offi cer who served as undersecretary o state from 1933 to 1936, has ben asked by Slam and France to serve on a special commission to review settlement of the French Indo-China boundary question. He was expected to leave early next month tc begin the assignment. Government sources indicated Grady had accepted the presi dent's offer and that an an nouncement of his appointment would be made as soon as the Indian government approves the choice. The appointment is sub ject to senate confirmation. The United States and India agreed to exchange ambassa dors on Oct. 23, 1946, and to raise their respective missions in New Delhi and Washington to the rank of embassies. 3 Religions Hold Ceremony Jerusalem, April 3 W) Three religions Christian, Moslem and Jewish held ceremonies today in this holy city to com memorate events revered by their millions of faithful. Western Christians Roman Catholics and Protestants cele brated the day as Maundy Thursday, harking back to Jesus Christ's last supper with his apostles before his betrayal in the Garden of Gethsemane and his crucifixion on Calvary. Moslems began prayers for the feast of Nebi Musa the Prophet Moses, honored by them as well as by Christians and Jews to lead up to a pilgrimage to the prophet's shrine in the desert near Jericho and the Dead sea in commemoration of his death. Jews cleansed homes and uten sils in preparation for their "seder" feasts at sunset tomor row opening the eight-day pass over. Because they use a different calendar from that in use in the west, eastern Catholic churches Greek Orthodox, Armenian, Coptic, Jacomite and others will celebrate Holy week week later this year. Maundy (mandate) Thursday gets its name from the new com mandment Jesus gave his apos tles at the last supper in the upper room: "That Ye Love One Another."

The king's remains will lie in state until funeral services Sun day.

Naval Academy For Monterey Washington, April 3 W) Es tablishment of a $28,150,000 naval post graduate school at Monterey, Calif., was recom mended today by a senate sub committee. The subcommittee, headed by Senator McClellan (D - Ark), was created to investigate pos sible sites on the west coast. Its report, signed by Senators McClellan, Morse (R-Ore), Ro bertson (R-Wyo) and Myers (D-Pa), was filed with the sen ate armed services committee. The report describes the Mon terey location, involving the Del Monte hotel and adjacent property, as the most desirable location for the school. It recommended that "in case Del Monte should not become available for any reason . . . the other sites investigated by the committee should be re-examined and re-evaluated." The other sites, which the committee termed less desirable than Monterey, include Coos Bay, Ore., Astoria and Tongue Point, Ore., Puget Sound, Wash., including Sand Point, Whidbey island and Bremerton; Portland, Ore.; Los Angeles, San Diego, and Balboa-Newport harbor, Santa Ana, Calif. Senator Magnuson (D-Wash) fifth member of the committee, obtained permission to file minority report. He told report ers he favors a rccommenda tion that the school be at Sand Point if the navy's option on the Monterey property cannot be exercised.

Case Against Couple Mounts Santa Ana, Calif., April 3 (U.R) An explosives salesman said today he had "absolutely every reason" to believe that George Gollum and his heiress-fiancee, Beulah Louise Overell, were the couple who purchased 27 sticks of dynamite from him a few days before the time-bomb deaths of the girl's wealthy par ents. The identification was made by Ben A. Smith, Highlands. Calif., who operates a power magazine in the daytime and at night serves as San Bernardino county jailer. After watching 17-year-old Miss Overell and Gollum, 21, in their cells yesterday, he gave Orange county Sheriff James Musick a signed statement nam ing them as purchasers of the explosive on March 2. Earlier in the day Miss Overell was ordered to stand trial for the murder in superior court. Her attorney had sought to keep her under jurisdiction of the juvenile courts. She will be arraigned with Gollum tomorrow on charges of murdering loan-company ex ecutive Walter E. Overell, 62, and his socialite wife, Beulah, 57, and blowing up the family yac,ht March 16 in Newport har bor. Cordon to Call Kruq As Witness Centralia, 111., April 3 (U.R) The chairman of a U.

John L. Lewis, AFL miners union president, also will be al lowed to appear "if he wants to," Senator Cordon (R-Ore) said in his announcement.

Hearings in Cen tralia are expected to run three days. Another member of the three man subcommittee, Senator O'Mahoney (D-Wyo), said last night the present investigation might cause tightening of safe tv rules in all coal pits in the nation.

Special Session On Palestine Lake Success, N. Y., April 3 W) The leading spokesman for the five Arab countries in the United Nations predicted today that Britain's proposal for a spe cial session of the general assem bly to start work on the Pales tine problem "definitely would be approved" by a majority of the 55 UN members. Faris El Houry, Syrian dele gate to the security council, con ceded in a statement to news men that any Arab opposition to an extraordinary session would be ineffective. El Houry reiterated the Arab league demand for an independ ent state of Palestine where the Arabs have a large popula tional majority over the Jews. El Houry previously had said the Arab states would oppose a special session on Palestine un less Britain offered a solution for the problem formally given over to the United Nations yes terday. Britain offered no specific rec ommendalion on the makeup of a future Palestine government which would replace the old League of Nations mandate held by the British. Meanwhile, the UN secretariat went ahead with plans for the special session as though it was a sure thing. Southern Pacific Gets Spur Franchise The city council Wednesday night voted the Southern Pacific company a franchise to build a spur track across Ford street to serve the Walton-Brown Elec trie. An ordinance bill was intro duced to give the Southern Pa cific a 20-year franchise renew al on Union street, a measure that will doubtless be the cen ter of controversy before it goes to final action. Favorable reports from Man ager J. L. Franzen were adopted on petitions for the improve ment of the 15th street from Norway to Pearl, Jefferson from Commercial to Fifth, and East Nob Hill from Superior to Ox ford. The manager reported ad versely on a petition to improve Grove street from Commercial lo Liberty for the reason that the petition was insufficient, Helicopter Visits McNary Airfield Salem's airport had its first visit from a helicopter Wednes day, when a small Bell model 47 landed there to refuel, prior to continuing its power line patrol through the Willamette Valley The plane is operated by Cen tral Aircraft company of Yaki ma, Wash., which has a contract with the Bonneville power ad ministration for patroling high tension wires, and carries a pi lot and a Bonneville technician to spot breaks or needed repairs In its flight south the helicop tor flew over the West Salem BPA substation.

Wilson of Warren and Joe Wilson of Newport) Wednesday by the state print ing office have reduced the sta tionery bill of Rep. Manley J Wilson from $44.20 to 17.79 and increased that of Joe Wilson to $30.51 from the original $4.10.

Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon, Corval lis Schools Increase $100,000 Corvallis, April 3 (U.R)-Cor-vallis schools will cost about $100,000 more to operate next year, the annual budget indicat ed today. About 60 percent of the in crease represents higher teacher salaries. Felion to Be District Judge Justice of the Peace Joseph B. Felton and two others in Oregon will no longer be justices of the peace, but district judges in stead, under a bill that complet ed its passage through the state legislature Wednesday and was sent to the governor. Others affected are the districts of Ore gon City and Eugene. Their jurisdictions and salaries will be increased. Judge Felton will have juris diction over the whole of Mar ion county, in civil cases involv ing court disputes up to $1000, against the present $500, while in criminal cases he will have authority to impose fines up to $3000 and jail sentences up to a year. In Oregon City and Eugene the present civil suit maximum is $250. As justices of the peace the three officials now have the privilege of engaging in pri vate practice, but as district judges they will be required to give full time to public duties. Judge Felton's salary will be in creased from $3000 to $4500. Had the bill not passed nis sal ary would have been increased to $3600 by another bill. The district judge bill was sponsored in the legislature by the Clackamas county delega tion. It had the endorsement of the Marion County Bar asso ciation. As now provided for justices of the peace and other judicial officials the tenure of office will be six years. Judge Felton will be a candidate again in 1948. The legislative act has no pro vision as to whether candidates will run for office on a non-partisan basis as are other judges, and a ruling may be necessary. Ihe district judge act, if sign ed by the governor, which is said to be assured, will be ef fective 90 days after adjourn ment of the legislature. Candidates Named For Royal Court The campaign to designate three young women who will constitute the royal court during Willamette university May week-end festivities got under way this week-end with the se lection of 10 members of the senior class.

New Amendment Bans Appropriations The joint ways and means committee of the legislature de cided today to introduce a pro posed constitutional amendment which would make it impossible to appropriate state funds by initiative measures. Sponsors said it would pre vent groups from raiding state funds, but other committee members said they doubted If the people ever would vote for such an amendment when and if it were submitted to them. If the legislature approves it, it would go on the general election ballot In November, 1948. Thursday, April 3, 194717 Scout Circus Set April 12 If the advance ticket sale is an indication of the success of the venture then the annual Boy Scout circus scheduled for the state fairgrounds April 12 should be one of the best of the series. Scout headquarters Thursday reported that 8000 tickets for the event are now in circulation and that a number of communities are asking for ad ditional quantities. Sixty percent of the units that are expected to take part in the circus have been heard from and it is indicated 1800 or 2000 boys will participate from Mar ion. Polk and Linn counties that make up Cascade area council. Some 500 or 600 boys from Woodburn, Albany, Stayton, and Lebanon have signified their intention of holding an over-night camp at the fair grounds the Friday night pre ceding the circus. This group will be augmented by a number from Salem. A street parade will be held at 11 o'clock Saturday morning of circus day. This was origin ally scheduled for 10 a.m. At 2 p.m. a full scale rehearsal will be held in the horse show pa vilion and then at 6 o'clock a free feed for all scouts will take place. The circus proper i slated for 8 p.m., April 12. A feature will be the presentation of eaele awards by Governor Earl Snell. Legislature Continued from Page 1) Members of the present legis lature who were members of that session, include Dr. F. H. Dam- masch, John H. Hall, Earl W. Hill, Frank W. Hilton, Dean Walker, Henry Semon and Har vey Wells. Governor Earl Snell was speaker of the house. These men recall that in ad dition to the necessity of solv ing many intricate problems, the short session also was featured with the customary fish and power fights. To get through with the work, frequent night sessions were held, they say, al though none have been held in the present legislative session. The members of the present session have little to point to with pride In the way of accom plishments for the state. A new schedule of big truck fees, ad justment of Industrial aecident ratings, increase in salaries for virtually everyone on the state payroll from the governor and his fellow board of control mem bers, right through the heads of all departments and a general increase for both classified and unclassified employes. Rep. J. O. Johnson of Wash ington county summed up the view of some members when he declared "If I don't get home pretty quick, there won't be a republican left in my county." Some Planting Must Await Sure Weather Don't allow fine spring days in early April to hurry you into planting tender vege tables that need to be assured of more settled mild weather, advises Harry L. Riches, county agent, in connection with ftie opening of the 1947 gardening season. Many people find lo their sorrow they lose more time than they gain by rushing the season with such crops as celery, tomatoes, cauliflower, peppers, beans and eggplant. These crops require warmer temperatures and longer days than come this early even though the weather seems fine. Many folks have some of the hardier crops in and up al ready, such as peas, radishes, lettuce, turnips, spinach, cab bage and onion sets or plants, but there is still plenty of time to plant first or successive plant ings of these, says Riches.
