Lewis Fined (Continued from Page 1) In civil contempt, penalties are usually based on damages done. So penalties are often fixed to increase if damages continue. This might result in Golds borough's imposing a daily pen alty in event the miners do not work in protest against the criminal contempt fines. Many were out of the mines today, waiting to see the out come of the case. Lewis' attorney, Welly K. Hopkins, filed notice of inten tion to appeal the contempt con viction. This was done right after sentence was imposed. While Lewis sat stony-faced, Goldsborough told him in pass ing sentence: "If this court was to use its individual judgment it would impose a prison sentence." But the judge added that he was only one man and was accepting the advice of the gov ernment. Assistant Attorney General H. Graham Morison had recom mended only the fines and said nothing about prison. When he proposed them, Mor ison reminded the judge that Lewis and the UMW were sec ond offenders." Morison said the court should "discipline these defendants sufficiently to impress upon them permanently," that they must obey the courts. Demand for Farm Help Increasing Monday's bright sunshine brought a rush of farmers to the employment office at Ferry and Cottage streets Tuesday morn ing, seeking help for a variety of jobs. As a result, W. H. Balllie, manager of the employ ment service, reported that there was a need for approxi mately 75 additional workers. Farmers load workers from 6 to 7:30 each morning at the em ployment office. Some of them come from the west side almost as far away as Falls City. Oth ers drive in from the Silverton Hills area. Principal jobs now are hoeing strawberries and hops, although others are en gaged in various clean up pro grams about their places. The pay averages from 75 to 85 cents an hour with transpor tation provided each way by the employer. The horse has been called the most important weapon in the conquest of America. Lila E.

Green of Illinois will deliver the key note address at the Republican national convention this sum mer. A 32-mcmbcr GOP arrange ments committee yesterday se lected Green as temporary chairman of the convention. In that capacity he will deliver the keynote address Joseph W. Martin, Jr., of Massachusetts, speaker of the house of representatives, was nominated to serve as perma nent chairman of the conven tion that opens in Philadelphia June 21. Martin's selection must be ap proved by the convention del egates before it becomes of ficial but this is merely a for mality, a committee spokesman said. Walter S. Hallanan, national committeeman from West Vir ginia, heads the arrangements committee which is holding a two-day meeting here. "Governor Green enjoys the highest confidence and esteem of the people of both parties," said GOP National Chairman Carroll Reece. In Chicago Green said he ap preciated the "signal honor and grave responsibility." Hurried causuces between supporters of presidential can didates Robert A. Taft and Thomas E. Dewey brought about Green's selection a day before party heads expected commit tee action. The arrangements committee completed convention organiza tion today with selections of these officers: Chief sergeant at arms, Wil liam S. Livengood, Pennsylva nia. Assistant sergeant at arms, Willis York, Iowa. Secretary, Mrs. Dudley C. Hay, Romeo, Mich. Official reporter, George L. Hart, Washington. Both Hallanan and Reece said at conclusion of the two-day ar rangements session that they ex pected the convention to nomin ate the party's presidential can didate within a week. Reece said without elaboration that he did not expect a deadlock. The arrangements committee approved allotment of tickets as recommended by a subcommit tee which provided 4000 for dis tribution to states. It also rec ommended that convention nom inating speeches be cut from the usual 30 minutes to 15. Italian Election (Continued from Pnge 1) The returns were running steadily at two to one against the communist popular front. De Gasperi said his party s victory showed Italy's "firm in tention not to be bolshevized." Communists Silent The communists had little to say. Pietro mgrao, director of the communist newspaper L'Unita, said in a formal state ment that the front "without doubt will represent a decisive element in the future parlia ment and in the country." Pope Pius XII, smiling hap pily, told American newsmen he will give them a formal statement within a day or two. There was no mistaking the pope's obvious satisfaction with the returns thus far in this monumental struggle between Moscow and the west. The Vatican-backed Christian democrats triumphantly invad ed the so-called "Red north." Returns in Milan showed the Christian democrat parly and its allies running two to one ahead of the communists in the chamber elections. In Genoa, a communist stronghold, the anti-communists had a com fortable lead. In communist covered Florence, the popular front was trailing. Violence flared again at some points. Graveside Services For Pfc. Powers Graveside services will be held at Belcrest Memorial Park Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock for Pfc. Edwin Eugene Powers, Salem marine who lost his life on Iwo Jima February 20, 1045. Military honors will be by the marine corps re serve. Young Powers, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin W. Powers of route 5, Salem, was born at Sa lem January 20, 1925. He was graduated from the Aumsville high school with the class of 1042 and late that same year enlisted In the marines. Trained as a paratrooper he went to the Pacific theater w 1 1 h a large group of paratroopers but the group was returned to the States after a few months and later he was assigned to the Fifth division as a replace ment. Powers was serving with this division at the time of his death. Surviving besides the parents are a sister, Patricia Powers of Salem, and his grandfather, E. W. Powers, also of Salem. Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon, Rush of Voters to Register To End at 8 o'Clock Tonight With the deadline for primary at 8 o'clock Tuesday the rush to keeping up Tuesday morning but slackening from Monday when sinRlc day. ' However, County Clerk Har lan Judd in making what he admitted to be but a guess thought indications were good that the registration for this primary might reach the 40,000 mark, which is within hitting distance of the all time registra tion high which was before the general election of November. 1940, when 40,261 voters regis tered. The county has had a great population increase since that time and one noticeable feature of the registering has been the large number of new voters from outside states who have been crowding to the counters. Intense interest has been shown the past week among outside registration points. Mon day Stayton ordered 500 cards in the morning and before night sent a hurry order for some more. The same thing was dup licated in Silverton. Over 200 voters were regis tered at the League of Women's Voters booth in the T. A. Lives ley building and well over 100 reported from the special booth at the Labor Temple. Judd figures that for several days registrations have equalled at least a thousand a day. But there have been quite a large number of cancelations whicn makes it impossible to furnish any definite figure just at this time. He says it may be several days before final figures are had as all of the outside regis trars have to be heard from and checked over. Elmer Wetsel Funeral Set Funeral services will be held at the Clough-Barrick chapel Wednesday morning at 10:30 o'clock for Elmer Edmund Wet sel, former Salem resident who died April 18 at the Malson Me morial hospital at Milwaukie, Ore., where he had been a pa tient for about a month. Inter ment will be in Belcrest Me morial park. Wetsel operated a service sta tion in Salem from 1930 until the outbreak of World War II when he joined the marine corps. He was a veteran of both World Wars. During the past war he was stationed at Tongue Point. In World War I he serv ed overseas with the army. After his discharge from the marines following the termina tion of World War II Wetsel remained nt Tongue Point as a civilian employe and resided at Warrentown. He was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion and the IOOF lodge. Surviving are the widow, the former Thelma Scrafford of Kel logg. Idaho, to whom he was married July 17, 1929; his moth er, Mrs. Effie F. Wetsel of Sa lem; a sister, Mrs. Eva M. Rush of Salem, and several cousins, including Mrs. C. A. Merrill of Spokane and Mrs. Dave Lam bert and Rex Newton, both of Seattle. School Budaet (Continued from Page 1) The actual vote was on a question of whether a consoli dated tax levy of $837,890 shall be imposed, the budget being that much over the amount al lowed under the six percent li mitation. The amount is so large because only about half of the districts of the county have maintained their tax bases un der the six percent limitation law and it is necessary for a vote to be had to establish the amount. Under the new rural school district law if the pro posal carries the fund will dc equalized over the districts In volved. It is estimated the proposal will increase property taxes for schools to 27 mills for elemen tary and 13 mills for high school districts. The districts which so far have returned their ballots to the office of Mrs. Agnes Booth, county superintendent, and the results had are as follows; Vel tin ft'feraon ID 8 Bnberui 11 13 Hit..

William C. Ryan, director of institutions told the board that a serious nursing shortage has developed at the state tubercu losis hospital in Salem. "We have made provision for employment of 18 graduate nurses to care for the 200 pa tients in this hospital and we have only two," said Ryan. There is a shortage throughout the nation and it has been found difficult to obtain nurses for the tuberculosis hospital because of the danger of Infection." Nurse Shortage Budget Director George Aiken declared that the nurse short age situation had been aggra vated by the bidding that is go ing on between county, govern ment, state and private hospital agencies. Governor Hall said that he had already gone on record for additional pay for state em ployes and if a situation existed at the tuberculosis hospital as outlined, something should be done. "You can't run a 200-bed hos pital with two nurses," Gov Hall said. The board voted to give Ryan authority to grant $10 differen tial to graduate nurses employed at the hospital if such a course proved necessary to recruit and hold nursing personnel there. The present wage scale for train ed nurses at the institution ranges from $190 to $210 a month. On recommendation of the state medical school Dr. Gear- hart B. Haugen was appointed a member of the advisory com mittee for state schools for de linquent children to replace Dr. Herman Dickel, resigned.
