Mayor Champions Cause
Of Hot Rods' on Strip
The "hot rod" is a hot subject in Salem and about everywhere
else just now. And the hot rod boys have a friend In Mayor Robert
L. Elfstrom, who is still young enough to have a good deal of
sympathy for the youngsters.
The question has been brought
to the front within the last week
with the boys on the short end
of an order barring them from
driving their souped-up cars on
the little-used Aurora emergen
cy airplane landing strip in the
north end of Marion county. The
strip has a hard surface and is
fine for speeding the freak cars.
"No Trespassing" signs have now
been posted against the boys.
"Let the boys have their hot
rods and let them have a place
to drive them," says Mayor Elf
strom. "It is important, of course,
that they be kept off the streets
and highways where they be
come a danger to traffic.
"I enjoy watching the boys
work on their hot rods. Theyt get
greasy and dirty and thoroughly
engrossed in their work. They
do it because they are mechanically-minded,
and they produce
some remarkable results. I
would much rather see a boy
working on a hot rod than doing
a lot of other things that en
forced idleness might cause. And
idleness is sometimes caused by
too much suppression of the boys
in the things they like to do."
A hot ' rod is most any old
automobile worked over and
geared up to a degree where it
is capable of high speed. Some of
the cars are low-lung with chromium-plated
parts, and occasion
ally of fine enough amateur
workmanship that they are
worth good money in the mar
ket. The cars are one-seaters. The
driver may have his girl friend
or a male companion with him,
but he hasn't room for a riotous
crowd that is likely to cause ac
cidents. Arabs Renew Attack
On Jewish Village
Jerusalem, Jan. 21 (U.R) Arab
fighters struck again today at the
Jewish settlement of Yehiam,
northeast of Acre, in a renewal
of yesterday's machine gun and
mortar attack which cost 16
lives.
Jewish sources in Jerusalem
said they had been in telephone
contact with Yehiam one of 19
Jewish communities outside the
boundaries of the proposed Jew
ish state since the attack be
gan. They said they were told
"some 500 Arabs, all in uniform)
some with steel helmets and un
der the command of Iraqi, Ger
man-trained officers, began fir
ing at the settlement from tren
ches they dug yesterday."
Nine Jews and seven Arabs
died in yesterday's day-long
fight which was finally broken
up by the appearance of army

Master of Grange
Fears Depression
Washington, Jan. 21 (P) Al
bert S. Goss, master of the Na
tional Grange, told congress to
day conditions "very similar to
those which brought about the
crash following the last war are
in the making."
Appearing before the house
agriculture committee to urge
adoption of a long-range farm
program Goss advocated three
"main lines of defense" against
farm price slumps:
1. Strengthen existing produc
tion, processing and marketing
machinery.
2. Set up a "flexible floor (mi
nimum) price to stabilize the
market and protect It against a
sharp or seasonal fluctuations "
3. Provide a "stop loss floor
below which prices would not
be allowed to fall at any time.
Wants No Trespass
Signs on Flight Strip
District Attorney Miller B.
Havden advised the state high
way commission today to post
"no trespassing" signs on the
fligTit strip at Aurora.
Havden said then it would be
illegal for the "hot rod" boys to
race their cars on the strip,
which was built during the war
as an emergency landing field.
The matter was brought to a
head Sunday when more than
75 cars were racing on the strip,
and a plane was unable to make
an emergency landing on the
strip.
State Highway Engineer K. H.
Baldock said he was referring
the matter to Joseph M. Devers,
attorney for the highway com
mission.

Tito Declares
(Continued from Page 1)
'Hundreds of thousands of
their companions who live in our
midst spy on us from London
and Washington through yet un
discovered channels," Tito was
quoted as saying. "Comrades,
these doings must be stopped at
all costs."
The report then quoted Tito as
saying:
"I have no wish to interfere
in matters of religion, but when
priests will toll alarm bells, there
will be wholesale insurrection
and it must not be overlooked
that the farmers are very well
armed."
Washington Silent
Washington, Jan. 21 VP) The
report by a Trieste newspaper
that Marshal Tito claims Yugo
slavia has atomic bombs produc
ed the customary deep silence in
official quarters here today.
Spokesmen for the atomic en
ergy commission said that, as in
the case of previous similar re
ports from Russia and elsewhere.
there would be no comment on
the Trieste story.
Officials have taken the posi
tion that to comment in any
manner would be to react to ob
vious "fishing expeditions" by
other nations who seek to learn
how much the United ' States
knows of their progress in atomic
research or lack thereof,

20 Predatory
Animals Slain
County Judge Grant Murphy
checking reports on accomplish
ments by the predatory animal
service In Marlon county partial
ly financed by the county with
contributions from the state and
federal government operating
under the government states
such reports show that for a six
months period apparently 20 an
imals have been killed including
13 foxes, two bears, four coy
otes and one bobcat. The period
covered by the reports Includes
129 days.
The county appropriated $1,-
340 as its share of the expense
for the year and to date has gent
$690 to the state treasurer out of
that amount. All of the funds are
handled through the state and
Judge Murphy says he has no
way of knowing Just how much
of the funds so far advanced
were used in helping to finance
the 129 days Indicated in the re
port and so it is impossible to
tell from the county records just
how much the cost per animal
would run in killing the 20 ani
mals in question.
The budget committee for sev
eral years has met with an in
sistent demand from a large
number of farmers for continu
ation of the predatory animal
control and the county's share in
meeting the expense stating it
has saved a large quantity of
livestock for Marlon county.
