Jaycees Told of
Reed Meeting
Beth Sherman and Merrill
Smith, Willamette university's
representatives at the recent Pa
cific Northwest College confer
ence on international relation
ships at Reed College in Port
land, spoke to members of the
Salem Junior Chamber of Com
merce Tuesday noon, offering
highlights of the conference at
which Mrs. Franklin D. Roose
velt was one of the speakers
and advisers.
Miss Sherman reported that
most of the college delegates
were strongly influenced by
Mrs. Roosevelt's suggestions.
According to Smith, the ex-first
lady of the nation presented no
ideas of her own, but rather
tried to impress upon the young
people of the principles already
adopted by the United Nations.
At the Reed college gather
ing, a ballot containing several
international problems was
made up by the student dele
gates, and that ballot was dis
tributed among the student bod
ies of all schools represented.
Smith said the ballot was valu
able, in that the results were to
be forwarded to United Walions
officials for their consideration.
Smith said, however, that he
felt the ballot was too compli
cated for the average student to
comprehend.
Also appearing at Tuesday's
Jaycee luncheon was Dr. Ivan
Lovell, Willamette history professor.
Want Rebate on
Phone Service
Tacoma, April 2. W) Tacoma
telephone strike leaders today
said an appeal has been made to
Governor Wallgren "to protect
the telephone subscribers against
paying for service which they
have not received due to the
strike." .
Leonard W. Dahlberg, the lo
cal strike director, said the ap
peal was made through Joseph
A. Beirne, president of the Na
tional Federation of Telephone
Workers.
Company officials said sub
scribers of manually operated
exchanges are never billed when
they do not receive service but
this does not apply to Tacoma
and other 100 percent dial sys
tems. Subscribers in the dial
areas, except those whose phones
are out of order, will receive
their monthly bills as usual, the
company said.

To Draft Plans
For Festival
Continuing with the idea of
making the Cherry Festival a
community project with all or
ganizations in this area sup
porting it, William Dyer and
Graham Sharkey, temporary co
chairmen for the event, are call
ing a meeting of representatives
of organizations in this area at

At this meeting, the second
to be held, it is hoped to elect
a permanent chairman and
board of directors for the festi
val and enlist the aid of all or
ganizations in promoting the re
vived celebration. In event that
not enough organizations show
an interest in supporting the
festival a plan will be devised
lo carry-on preparations under
the supervision of those groups
that originated the idea of the
revival of the event.
Using last year's list of organ
izations in this area, the co-
chairmen have contacted repre
sentatives of 54 groups and in
vited them to attend the meet
ing. Any organization overlook
ed because it was not on the list
is also invited to send repre
sentatives to the Thursday night
meeting.

Teamsters Strike
Felt in Salem
Effects of the Portland team
sters' strike are being felt to
some degree in Salem, and will
be felt more seriously in a few
days if the strike continues, lo
cal wholesalers said Tuesday.
The Willamette Grocery com
pany reported inter-city pickup
and delivery service pretty well
tied up on account of closure
of the Portland warehouses by
the strike. Practically the only
merchandise being received by
the firm out of Portland is that
loaded on the waterfront docks.
Merchandise routed through
Seattle is arriving in Salem
without interruption.
The General Grocery company
is not noticing any ill effects
from the strike, and has the ad
vantage of its own warehouse
in Portland which is not affected
by the strike. The firm expects
to have some difficulty in a few
days, if the strike continues,
particularly in the movement of
cereals and tobaccos.
The Pacific Fruit Produce
company isn't affected yet, but
expects to feel it in a day or
two, since a great deal of its
supply of merchandise comes
from Portland brokerage ware
houses. Movement of incoming goods
into Portland, including food
supplies, was virtually halted
Monday as a result of the wage
dispute between the AFL and 66
companies and some 1200 driv
ers. Two Salems
(Continued from Page 1)
One of the serious questions in
West Salem is how it would be
represented on the city council
in event of merger. Two sugges
lions were made, one that a new
ward be created covering West
Salem, the other that Salem's
Ward 3 be extended. West Sa
lem does not now have a ward
organization. Salem has seven
wards.
On the question of franchises
it was undisputed that no fran
chises would be destroyed in the
city surrendering its charter
Mentioned specifically were Sa
lem Electric and a street bus
franchise.
Mayor Musgrave stressed two
points that he believes make
merger desirable. One was the
adoption of the managerial form
of government by Salem, and the
other the West Salem industrial
expansion which will necessitate
a sewage disposal system that
would be a simpler financial
problem for a large population
than for a small community.
Finances Discussed
Adjustment of tax rates and fi
nances were discussed at length
On a millage basis the tax rates
of the two communities are prac
tically the same. Mention was
made that in West Salem street
improvements are financed by
general obligation bonds, and in
Salem by assessment of affected
propel ry.
An observation by Mayor Mus
grave that the city manager sys
tem would be advantageous for
the reason that the mayor and
council members have little time
to devote to city business caused
a clash with ex-Mayor Guy New
gent.
"How did West Salem grow
from a cow track to what it is
now, with all conveniences that
any city has, but by a mayor and
council donating their time?"
Newgent demanded. "You have
been on the job three months
and complain that you haven't
time.
"I will answer that by asking,'
Musgrave said, "why we ran into
the situation we did last summer
when it was necessary for me to
take over.
The possibility that Kingwood
Heights may seek annexation,
was mentioned, and the question
ose whether this should be be
fore or after the proposed mer
ger.
Mayor Musgrave said a gen
eral public meeting would be
called later on the merger ques
tion.
It is estimated there are
about 1,100 species of wood
growing in the United Slates.

Spaulding said he represented
a group of more than 30 Friar
alumni who met Sunday when
it was agreed they would co
operate with the school board
cleaning up the situation.
Brown had been working on a
similar project for the Caesers
over a longer period. Although
both expressed confidence that
they had a big majority of their
organizations behind them, nei
ther could give complete as
surance that some of their mem
bers would not have a few men
tal reservations at least. What
tney expected to salvage out ofl
the wreckage of last week's dis
aster when 13 high school boys!
were expelled for secret activi-i
ties, was not brought tn lirht im
the open meeting. However, the I
board gave the two men credit j
for being sincere in their ef-!
forts. I
During the conversations that
were entirely friendly, Director
Don Young reminded the club
representatives that a few
months ago assurance was given
that the clubs would disband.
"Yet within 30 days initiations
were under way again. " This
brought the query from Super
intendent Bennett, How do we
know that they are acting in
good faith?
At no time during the three-
hour discussion did Brown or
Spaulding challenge the correct
ness of the board's information
concerning recent activities of
the two clubs. Brown agreed
that the general public wanted
to see an end to the societies
and he suggested that the alum
ni could be a powerful influ
ence in bringing this about. The
board agreed but doubt was ex
pressed as to whether the men
who have been largely responsi
ble for the perpetuation of the
Caesar and Friar groups would
really get behind an extermina
tion program.
Superintendent Bennett told
of the conversation he had had
with one of the mothers of an
expelled society member. "What
Is there about these clubs that
makes such a change in a boy's
life that he will lie to his par
ents and place the secret or
ganization above the school or
the law of the land," the mother
tearfully asked.
There appeared to be a bit of
contrition on the part of the
alumni that they had been re
sponsible, probably indirectly
in the interruption of the edu
cational program of the 13 boys
Wednesday forenoon Chand
ler Brown told of the efforts of
the J. C. alumni to work out a
program which would prove sat
isfactory to all concerned. Ho
said that he and several other
members of older alumni were
called in by the board and were
informed that there had been
violations of the December
agreement and that several boys
were on the verge of being ex
pelled. The school board felt.
Brown declares, that expulsion
might not prove the more satis
factory course and sought co
operation from the alumni. The
latter then conferred with the
boys who expressed their wil
lingness to discontinue their In
itiations after being told they
could continue their association
through the balance of the
school year. Brown, by letter,
informed the board of what had
happened and the next move
was the dismissal of the 13 boys.
"I do not know what the at
titude of the alumni will be In
the face of this rebuff," Brown
said.

Vants U.S. Farm
Program Fixed
Washington, April 23 IIP) Ed.
ward A. O'Neal, president of the
American Farm Bureau Federa
tion, today urned congress to
wipe out "duplication and over
lapping" in the government
farm program to put it on 1
more efficient basis.
O'Neal testified before the
house agriculture committee on
the need for a general overhaul
of the federal farm program. He
said one of the farmer's biggest
hearches is rival agencies with
conflicting programs.
"It is confusing to farmers to
have so many agencies with em
ployes contacting him and ad
vising him how to carry out hif
farming operations or how to
participate in this or that pro
gram," he said.
O'Neal, who said he spoke for
128,000 farm families in 45
states, said he believed channel
ing all farm programs through
the extension service would lead
to large savings and great prog
ress in soil conservation and
efficient land use.

Wallace said in an interview
published in the left-wing news
paper Franc Tireur that upon his
return to the United States he
will undertake a speaking cam
paign which "even the deaf
should hear."
"When the American public
knows the truth, it will forget
the panic into which some peo
ple wanted to plunge it. That is
my aim. Friday I am leaving for
the United States. Once there I
shall start a campaign of speech
es to enlighten my compatriots.
Even the deaf should hear It."
