2 Capita Journal, Salem, Political Brickbats Rained On Truman by Republicans (Br llu Auocutcd Prist) Political brickbats showered down on President Truman from a full battery of republican campaign speakers last night. An other came sailing up from a southern stronghold of his own dem- Vetville Name For Project Salem's veterans' housing project was given the name Vet ville and a tentative constitution formulated at the first meeting of the project's recently elect ed council held Thursday night at the Paulus cannery. Both will be subject to ratification by the Salem housing authority, municipal organization in charge of the colony. The constitution would estab lish the method of succession to vacant courts in the colony with priority given to families with children, and provide that all evictions from the project will be passed on by the council. In regards to this the constitution would provide for a tenant to first be sent a correction notice when a legitimate complaint is brought. If the complaint is not corrected a second correction notice would be sent and if no attempt is made after this by the tenant to remedy the complaint a notice of the eviction would be given, During its Thursday night ses sion the council voted to hold public meetings on the second and fourth Mondays of each month., The meetings, until the canning season opens, will be held in the Paulus warehouse. Cannery Mill City Dump Purchase Held-up Proceedings by the stale high way department toward selling to Mill City for dump ground purposes a three-acre piece off from a ZB-acre tract of land the state bought from the county in 1942 will be held up pending an investigation by state and coun ty engineers as to how this pro posed dump ground will lie in reference to the proposed part of the north Santiam highway from Mill City to Mehama on the Marion county side. When a letter was received earlier in the week by Judge Grant Murphy from Joseph De Souza of the state highway de partment legal staff asking the county to relinquish a right it had retained In the land to take -gravel off of it, the county Judge raised the question as to wheth er the land proposed for the city dump lies in such a manner as to be an eyesore when the new highway is completed.- He finally got in touch with De Souza Friday and arrangements were made to delay the transac tion wun Mill uuy until a more complete inspection can be had of the premises.

Ore, Friday, February 13, 1948 ""ocratic party. On the side, two candidates for the GOP presidential nomi nation differed publicly over how generous this country should be in helping Europe. The added attraction featured Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York and Senator Taft of Ohio. Both gave the Truman foreign policy a severe raking, but they split in their discussion of the Marshall plan. Dewey told a Boston Lincoln day audience the foreign policy "should be thrown overboard lock, stock and barrel." Taft, speaking at St. Paul, blamed it for "the losing of the peace thus far." However, Dewey said it would be better to give the adminis tration all it has asked for spend ing under the Marshall plan than to "limit it with an amount which might fail to do the job." Taft insisted that foreign aid spending should be held to es sential food and industrial pump-priming. He said he is against inviting the 16 western turopean nations to "add ud their desired imports, subtract their possible exports and hand us a bill for the difference." Former Governor Harold E. Slassen of Minnesota, who also is running for the republican nomination, said in German- town, Pa., he thinks the Mar shall plan should be carried out as finally developed under the leadership of Senator Vanden- berg (R-Mich). Vandenberg is chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. The administration wants $6,- 800,000,000 to get the Marshall plan under way and finance it for the first 15 months. California's Go v e r n o r Earl Warren, who also aspires to the White House, told his republi can listeners at Los Angeles that if the GOP wants to follow Lin coln it should be the party of the poor and rich alike. The new outburst by southern democrats who have been steam ing over civil rights nroDosals from the White House came at Jackson, Miss. There were SOOO partv mem bers called for a conference of 'all true white Jeffersoninn de mocrats" to consider withhold ing the south's electoral vote from Mr. Truman in November. the dale of the meeting was left open. Credit Men Scan Number of Wives Members of the Salem Credit association studied methods of opening new accounts today by observing an Information inter view between Mrs. M..F. Teter and Mrs. Lucille Damon'. The Interview showed the Im portance of recording detailed background information for fu ture reference. Charles Schmitz. secretary of the association, pointed out that the basic inter view sets the pattern for the en tire account. The problem of the American divorce rate cropped up in dis cussion which followed the in terview program, and credit members were advised to record maiden names of wives. 'There used to be a time when a wife's name meant something," Schmitz said. "Now we find that men have two, three or four wives, so far as our credit records are concern ed." The membership of the as sociation will have an oppor tunity to question Postmaster Albert Gragg at the next meet- ng of the group concerning mail service and its relation to credit problems.

No Holding Tax on Wages of Mexicans Washington, Feb. 13 (fl Rep, Anderson (R., Calif.) said today the internal revenue bureau has ruled that wages of Mexican farm laborers in the United States are not subject to with holding tax. Anderson said the bureau held that Mexican farm workers are to be construed as entering and leaving the country frequently. Therefore, he added, the 30 percent withholding tax on wages of non-resident aliens will not apply to such workers. . However, he said, if the Mex ican laborers earn more than $500 in a year, or up to the time they leave the United States, they must get "tax clearance" by filing the departing aliens tax return and pay whatever income tax is due. Anderson said the bureau's ruling was made this week after an inquiry from the Progressive Growers' association of San Jose, Calif.
