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.

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.

""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.
Power Alternated
Eend, Feb. 13 (P) Three cen-

Takes Swing at
Champion Louis
New York, Feb. 13 VP) A 50-year-old
Irishman made an un
successful bid for Joe Louis'
heavyweight title in an unsched
uled, punchless tiff at a Broad
way night club early today.
Thomas Delaney, the Irish
man, landed on the floor after
taking a wild swing at Louis'
jaw. Witnesses agreed the
champion didn't hit his challen
ger. Before the swing, Delaney
told the champion: "So you're
Joe Louis. Wei, I'm going to
beat Walcott to the title. I'm
going to become the first Irish
heavyweight champion of the
world."
Louis and his parly were leav
ing me toony club at 3 a.m.
when the challenge was issued.
Marshall Miles, the. champion's
manager, commented Delaney
fell "apparently from the wind
we caused by getting out of there
so quickly."
Delaney, a six-foot, 200
pounder, refused to give his ad
dress to police, who let him go
with a warning.
As for Louis; he was heard to
say as he entered his car, "fool
ish fellow."

In Palestine War
Jerusalem, Feb. 13 W) The
Jewish quarter of Rehavia and
the business sector of Zion
Square in Jerusalem were plac
ed out of bounds to British
troops today. There was mount
ing tension over police reports
ol the 'lealhs last night of four
Jews.
Police said they found the
Jews' bodies near Stephens gate
in the old city shortly after the
four reportedly were picked up
by British troops at a presumed
Jewish gunposl. The British said
they released the Jews after
brief questioning.
The circumstances of their
deaths have not been disclosed
Police said five Arabs were
killed and 12 wounded last night
when Hagana, the Jewish mili
tia, made a heavy bomb attack
on the Arab village of Abu Ke
bir. Hagana said its men made
a similar sortie against the Arab
village of Yazur.
The unofficial Palestine death
loll since the United Nations de
cision to partition the Holy
Land last Nov. 29 now stands at
1161.
Influenza Strikes
Many Linn Schools
Albany Influenza has be
come so prevalent throughout
Linn county that Wednesday
approximately 20 percent of all
school pupils were reported ab
sent from their classes, because
of illness, according to Dr. A.
D. Blanchat, Linn county health
officer.
Thus far, however, only one
school was reported closed. The
Grand Prairie school near the
southern city limits of Albany
has been closed until Monday
because more than 20 pupils of
the 66 enrolled were 111.
Dr. Blanchat said that only a
few cases of pneumonia have
been reported and influenza at
tackers are not alarming. He is
not recommending the closing
of schools.

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.

Train Ride New
To School Pupils
An experience in transporta
tion, entirely new to many of
the group, was had Thursday by
40 members of the sixth grade
of Richmond school when they
made the round trip to Port
land by Southern Pacific train.
They were accompanied by the
principal, Mathilda Gilles, two
teachers and five mothers.
The trip was arranged when
it was learned that many of the
children had never been on a
passenger train. To make the
experience more realistic each
pupil marched up to the ticket
window and purchased round
trip transportation, En route to
Portland they were taken on a
tour of the train which left Sa
lem at 10:30.
In Portland the group visited
the scholastic art exhibit at a
large department store and then
had lunch on the 10th floor of
that institution. They reached
home at 6:30 and were met at
the station by many of their
parents.
Mothers making the trip were
Mrs. John Minifie, Mrs. Roy
Harland, Mrs. Gavin Hill, Mrs.
H. M. Boedigheimer and Mrs.
Robert Ashby. Teachers were
Mrs. Mary Swegart and John
Black.

Polk County Brings
Campaign to Close
Dallas Rawson H. Chapin,
Perrydale, county chairman of
the March of Dimes, states that
the 1948 campaign in Polk
county will be brought to a close
within a few days. He requests
that all solicitors turn in reports
to district chairmen as soon as
possible so that final reports
may be prepared.
No indication lias been given
as to the success of the drive,
but it is expected to go over in
good shape. Delay in securing
supplies slowed up the cam
paign, and it is possible that re
ceipts may come in through the
mail for some time. Chapin,
however, urges all to send
their contributions as soon as
possible.
