The board has already ap proved installation of 24 alarm boxes, three on each floor of the main building. Today Governor Snell expressed tf ear that in mates of the school would be tempted to break the glass of the alarm boxes, an act which automatically would send in a fire alarm. Roy H. Mills, secretary of the board was instructed to investi gate how the situation is han dled in institutions in other states, and report back his find ings. The board also deferred action on establishment of a hog farm a. the Fairview home. Dr. Ir vin B. Hill, superintendent, plans to have sufficient hogs on the farm to enable the butcher ing of one hog a day. This will require three new hog barns. The site selected for the hog farm is near a new home under con struction and Snell expressed fear that protests would come from the owner at the establish ment of the farm. The board voted to make in vestigation of other sites before taking final action. The cost of the farm is estimated at $15,000 Plan Programs For Army Week Though Salem is not planning any large celebration in obser vance of Army Week, several groups are arranging programs for their meetings this week and Mayor Robert Elfstrom asked merchants today to fly their flags in observance of Army Day.'

NLRB Supersedes Similar Stale Acts Washington, April 8 (VP) The supreme court has ruled that the national labor relations act supersedes similar state acts. The New York state labor re lations board contended it had authority to require steel corpo rations to recognize foremen's unions. The corporations replied that, since they were engaged in insterstate commerce, the na tional labor relations board atone had authority to determine bar gaining units among their em ployes.

Layton, 1935 Center street, went to jail Sunday morning charged with driving while under the influence of in toxicating liquor, after giving Deputy Sheriff William DeVall a wild chase through the north eastern part of town and elud ing him on Lancaster drive, and after the deputy reports, he had knocked the deputy to the pave ment with his automobile. DeVall in his report stated he sighted the Layton car at Cottage and Center streets. De Vail had come up to the stop sign when he saw the car go by weaving. DeVall said he fol lowed the car which went through the red light from Cen ter onto Capitol, then north on Capitol turning at Market street where he temporarily lost sight of it until he discovered it again on Baker street and said when it turned from Baker onto Market went over the curb. De Vail said he flagged the car down with his siren, and he found Layton and his wife in the car. Layton, he said, refused to come along with him, even aft er DeVall said he'd see that Mrs. Layton got home, DeVall said that while he was attempt ing to put the cuffs on Layton the car was suddenly started and DeVall was knocked to the pavement and the car sped away. DeVall said he suffered a bruised leg. He again gave chase but the car went too fast for him at 90 miles an hour on Lancaster drive, he said. In the meantime he'd taken the number of the Layton car. He first sighted the car at Cottage and Center at 1:30 a.m. He made the arrest at the Layton home at 8:15 a.m., Sunday. He said Layton made no objection to the arrest at his home. Secret Societies Continue to Flourish The Salem school board may possibly take some action Tues day night in its campaign to stamp out secret societies in the senior high school. At the outset of the present school year, the board succeeded in obtaining affidavits from a num ber of boys who were allegedly members of the Julius Caesar and Friar clubs that they would discontinue their affiliation and would make every effort to stamp out the illicit organiza tions. Since then it has become evi dent that the clubs are continu ing to function and the school board is now endeavoring to have responsible alumni take steps to stamp out the organiza tions that are banned by state law.

Hazen Talks On Labor Unions "I'm inclined to think that we must have a 'bystanders union' to represent the public in dis putes between labor and man agement an organization that will protect the rights of those 'who usually have to pay the bill," said Ben Hazen, president of the Benj. Franklin Federal Building and Loan association, as he concluded an address Mon day noon before the Salem Chamber of Commerce. For the purposes of his ad dress, Hazen gave the name of "Willie" to the bystander, whom he said "catches the brickbats from both sides and then cleans up the debris after the battle." He asserted that Willie had been a bit too indifferent concerning his rights and was largely re sponsible for the position in which he now finds himself. Hazen declared that business didn't possess the necessary vi sion years ago when it had the opportunity to work out a pro gram with labor and is now pay ing the penalty for the over sight. He added that labor un ions had to fight for what they got and that it was mere human nature that caused them to take more than they needed while the "getting was good." Unions, Hazen said, are being permitted to do things as groups which would not be permitted i' an individual tried it.
