County Seeking Access Road to Jefferson Span By DON UPJOHN In compliance with the state highway commission's request to file new proposals for fed eral aid road funds with an op portunity to revise any propos als thereto previously made, the Marion county court has decided on some amended proposals. Included in a major one for a new alignment of the eight- mile Sidney-Jefferson road from Orville to the Pacific highway at Looney Butte which would give a south access road from the highway to the new Inde pendence bridge. Previous Program At a meeting held here in 1945 the county submitted to the commission its proposals for federal aid funds contemplating total of 93 miles of Marion county roads. A larger share of these were approved and put on the program. But in analyz ing the situation when the high way department gave the oppor tunity to reopen the proposals for new ones or revamping of the old ones it was discovered one request made at the previ ous meeting was left out. Ask Reinstatement That was completion of the Silverton to Stayton road which was granted except on the ac ceptance map it was found about a half a mile of requested road was left out, that part in Stay ton from Washington street to the Santiam river. In the new proposal the county court will ask this be reinstated. The court also asks deletion from the proposals that part of the Silverton road being com pleted this year from Middle Grove to a point past the Cen tral Howell school. While, un der the federal aid program the county is entitled to only one project every three years, Judge Grant Murphy said Wednesday (Concluded on Page 11, Column 6) Wafer Suit Hearing Ends Trial of thp case nf r.iHn Bennett vs. the City of Salem and others in which the plain tiff charges the city with an ex cessive use of water over its rights in the North Santiam ri ver from the Stayton Island in take, moved into its third, and probably last day, before Judge Charles Combs of Lakeview in circuit court here Wednesday. Among the last of the wit nesses for the defendant city were Floyd L. Siegmund, coun ty watermaster, who was giving data as to flow of water in the stream and at various pertinent points in it during the past few years, and Carl Guenther, man ager of the Salem water plant. Judge Combs is expected to make a trip to the Stayton Is land works Wednesday after noon. The trip was planned for Tuesday but the trial dragged out longer than expected. He will probably make an exam ination of the situation at the island and also at other points along the river where informa tion bearing on the case may be had. The city has contended that A. D. Gardner, who sold it the location and water rights, had assured officials there would be plenty of water for all. Gardner Bennett, his successor in inter est, contends the city should be estopped from setting up such a defense, made a showing to the effect that Bennett himself had indicated in letters to the citv water mmmksinn Ihapa were times when his interests needed all the flow of water and that the Bennett interests now are affected adversely hv al leged overuse of water by the city. Mitch um Pleads Not Guilty on Narcotics Charge Los Angeles, Sept. 29 W) Handsome Robert Mitchum and two of his co-defendants pleaded innocent today to narcotics charges after his attorney failed in an attempt to have the indictment dismissed on a legal technicality. Jerry Giesler, noted criminal laywer representing Mitchum, asKeo dismissal witn tne argu- ment that a portion of the in dictment is not in the English language and is therefore un constitutional. He referred to the section which charged the defendants with possession and conspiracy to possess "flowering tops and leaves of Indian hemp (canna bis sativa)." Mitchum, 31, Actress Lila Leeds, 20, dancer Vicki Evans, 25. and Robin Ford, 31, real estate man, are charged with possessing a drug weed popu larly known as marijuana. The four were arrested short Atomic Plants Barred to Unions Led by Commies Washington, Sept. 29 (P) The government today barred its A-bomb plants to unions whose officers refuse to dis avow communism. This action on the heels of congressional charges that a netvfork of Soviet spy rings tried during the war to feed atomic secrets to Moscow stemmed from a double-barreled atomic energy commission order. It (a) posted "Keep Out" signs for two specific CIO unions and (b) opened the way for official recognition of others only if they can qualify for certification by the national labor relations board. Must Sign Affidavits Except at Oak Ridge, union activity in all atomic plants has been sharply curtailed since the A-bomb project was laun ched. But a number of unions have been active" in the hope that these curbs would be eased. Today's new policy decision, however, ruled out any hope of those whose officers have fail ed to submit non-communist oaths. These are required by the Taft-Hartley act for NLRB certification. The unions singled out in the commission announcement are the CIO United Electrical Workers and the CIO United Public Workers. HE Run by Reds A congressional committee heard testimony only yesterday from a self-described former communist that the UE is "the largest communist - dominated organization in the United States." The Public Workers union, with a large membership of government employes, also has been under scrutiny in con gress. The atomic energy commis sion rap at the union made no reference to the recent con gressional charges of atomic spying. .".'"-- Chairman David E. Lilienthal announced the commission's ac tion against both the UE and the Public Workers union in separate letters to Charles E. Wilson, president of the Gen eral Electric company, and Wil liam B. Harrell, business man ager of the University of Chi cago. To Assure Loyalty GE and the University of Chicago operate atomic plants under contract with the govern ment. In both letters, as well as in a third to NLRB Chairman Paul M. Herzog, Lilienthal said all atomic energy facilities must be operated "in a manner best cal culated to assure that those who participate in the program are loyal to the United States." "This includes those," he said, "who, though themselves not employes of contractors, do exercise administrative, nego tiating and disciplinary author ity over such employes of con tractors a are members of un ion bargaining units." Buffer Prices Drop 2 Cents in Salem Butter prices were cut again here Wednesday, marked down two cents from Tuesday's listing, the change to downward being the second within a week. New quotations list grade A butter at 73-75 cents a pound wholesale, 80 cents retail. But terfat likewise declined Wednes day, buying prices now listing it at 75-76 cents on premium, 70 71 cents on No. 1 and 63-67 cents on No. 2 grade. Egg prices remained unchang ed here, although Portland mar kets listed AA grade up a cent. ly after midnight last Sept. 1, at a secluded cottage in Laurel canyon, north of Hollywood. Mitchum, well-groomed and wearing a blue sports coat and grey slacks, spoke a clear "not guilty" after his lawyer's argu ments failed. Ford and the blonde Miss Leeds also pleaded innocent. Trial for the three was set for November 22. Miss Evans did not enter a plea, as her attorney asked for time to argue for dismissal on grounds that evidence against her is Insufficient.

(Acme Telephoto) Fertilizer Plant Plans Expansion By ROBERT LETTS JONES Boise, Sept. 29 Salem's reopened fertilizer plant holds many possibilities for expansion of production lines.

Ward, county dog li cense enforcement officer, stat ed Wednesday that on October 5 he will inaugurate a house to house canvass in Salem running through the rest of that month in a roundup of every unlicensed dog in the city and see that all are licensed or else. He said he plans to spend one day, October 4, at Detroit to receive license applications for that area before moving to Salem. Ward reported that he is re ceiving numerous complaints from the rural areas of stray dogs being dumped along the roadsides and it is believed most of them are coming from Salem. He attributed this somewhat to the fact, he says, that dog con trol authority in Salem makes a charge of $2 to pickup a dog when it is desired to abandon the animal and that rather than pay the $2 the owner just dumps him in some remote country spot. ! He cited an instance of a stray dog this week which kill ed 15 out of 17 chickens at the home of Mrs. B. R. Wallace, route 2, box 398, in the Keizer district. Mrs. Wallace said she fed her chickens at noon and when she went back to the pen at 1 o'clock 15 of them were dead. A stray dog had been dumped near her place that morning. Ward traced the dog and killed it. Los Angeles Papers Raise fo 7 Cenfs Los Angeles, Sept. 29 MV The Evening Herald and Express announced today that, because of increased production costs, it is raising its street sale price to 7 cents effective Friday. The present single copy costs 5 cents. The home-delivered monthly rate goes up from $1.35 to $1.60. Similar announcements came earlier this week from the Ex aminer and The Times, both morning papers. The newspaper said It was its first Increase in single-copy rates since 1937. capital. The plant was put into opera tion producing fertilizer again 10 days ago after a shutdown in March. Power's company holds a key interest in the Sa lem outfit. He assured visiting Oregon newsmen in Idaho that the en gineering and research staff of the Simplot company will at tempt to utilize available equip ment in the Salem plant for ex pansion into new fields of pro duction. Plan Extensions He suggested that studies were being made as to the possi bilities of branching into ce ment. Mixed fertilizer, or some other product that the eco nomics of the region might make possible. If production were decided on for a fertilizer mixture of nitrogen and phosphate, il would draw on the resources of phosphate in Idaho and Utah. This two-state area holds an estimated 63 percent of the world's potential supply. Inspect Power Plant Power's views were expressed last night as 10 Oregon news papermen converged on Idaho for an inspection tour of the Idaho Power company's con struction projects in this area. Among those playing host to the group from Oregon, besides Idaho Power, were representa tives of the J. R. Simplot com pany and Harry Morrison, head of the huge Morrison-Knudsen Company, Inc., world's largest construction firm with head quarteri in Boise, The output of fertilizer at the Salem plant of Columbia Metals corporation is all sold to No vember 1, and part of the No vember output is booked for the market, Manager Arch W. Metz ger said Wednesday. Ammonia, which began reach ing the plant 10 days ago, en abling it to resume operations after being idle since early spring, has been coming in at the rate of three carloads a day to catch up on the quota. It will now be two cars daily for a time. The schedule is 32 cars a month. The shipments come from the Phillips Chemical company at Etter, Texas. Grand Jury fo Return Indictments The Marion county grand jury which has been in session since Monday morning was expected to complete its interrogations by late Wednesday and probably return a large grist of indict ments, although nothing definite as to this will be known until the report is filed. All told it is considered like ly about 50 cases will have been investigated when the jury com pletes its labors with about 40 witnesses to be examined in from 15 to 20 cases on the sche duled for Wednesday alone. Most of the cases have passed through district court or the Jus tice courts of the county. Italy Gets ECA Funds Washington. Sept. 29 MN Italy was given $26,506,000 more in foreign aid funds today by the economic co-operation administration. ECA said $25, 200,000 of the total was allotted for cotton buying and the rest for ocean freight. Soviet Fighters Buzzing Berlin Supply Planes Berlin, Sept. 29 Russian fighter planes buzzed two Ame rican transports on the Berlin milk run" today, and U.S. au thorities promptly demanded that responsible Soviet authori ties take "immediate and direct measures" to stop such harass ing tactics. A vigorous written protest was filed with Russian authori ties only four hours after a num ber of Russian Yak fighters made repeated offensive passes at two heavily loaded American C-54 transports, coming within 100 feet or less of the four-en- gined planes. 5 Yaks Involved U.S. officials said at least five Yaks, single-engined fighters of which the Russians have a great number, were involved in buzz ing the American planes as they neared Berlin with supplies for the western sectors of the city, hurdling the Soviet surface blockade which now has lasted 102 days. The Russian fighters repeated ly roared in as if to attack the transports, but they did not open fire, and they "peeled off" after approaching within 100 feet or less of the American planes. The impression given was that of a group of dare-devil pilots sharpening their offensive tac tics by practice on the U.S, planes. Dangerous Maneuvers Official reports indicated that the dangerous maneuvers were one of the gravest of a number of incidents in which Russian planes have sought to harry the ferry service on which- about 2,- 500,000 persons in the American British and French sectors of Berlin depend. The strong wording of the American protest also suggested that the Russian action was be ing taken more seriously than any previous incident. Krug Outlines 238 Projects Wenatchee, Sept. 29 P) Sec retary of the Interior Julius Krug told a gathering of civic leaders of this district last night that the interior department's reclamation plan contains 238 potential projects in Washing ton, Oregon, Idaho, and Mon tana. Krug said they will bring under irrigation nearly four mil lion acres of new land and pro vide, supplemental water for over a million acres now suf fering periodic shortages. Krug was here over night after dedicating O'Sullivan dam in the Columbia basin yesterday. Of Presidential Candidate Dewey's nine-point river and power development program for the northwest, Krug said: "He is merely 'me-tooing' a democratic program which he knows his own party will not support. Do you know of any of those points not now being carried? , "They arc now under way and have been under way for years under four democratic adminis trations for 16 years." 1600 Chickens Face Death By Starvation in Strike Death by starvation threatened 1600 head of poultry at the Salem plant of the Northwest Poultry it Dairy Products com pany, iouo norm rront street, strike at noon Wednesday. The strike, already called in lem plant during the forenoon. A picket appeared at the noon hour and the workers were call ed out. "Unless the humane society feeds the chickens they will die," said O. F. Ryals, manager of the plant. "But the union refuses to allow anyone to cross the picket line to feed them. However, I am turning it over to the humane society." Two produce plants were hit by strike of different unions Wednesday. The other was the Pacific Fruit & Produce com pany's plant at 531 Trade street, which is hit by a teamsters' strike. At the Northwest Poul try & Dairy Products plant the dispute is over wag'.s. At the Pacific Fruit & Produce it is hours. The Northwest Poultry & Dairy Products plant is hit by a strike of the Poultry and Egg Workers union, an affiliate of the mcatcultcrs' union. The strike is based on a demand for a wage increase, Ryals said, of 25 cents an hour above a 10 cent increase that was granted in January. The Salem members of the Union accepted a proposal of an additional increase ranging United States, Britain Soviet Union Bent Upon Bringing German Capital Under Moscow Rule Paris, Sept. 29 (Pi The United States, Britain and France! accused Russia before the bar menacing world peace with a brought Germany's first city to On the tenth anniversary of the fuse of World War II, the three identical notes that the Soviet out of Berlin and bring the city 'It is clear from the protracted exchange ot notes and the! conversations between them and the three governments . . . have their differences directly with notes said. The notes were delivered to Lie in the Palais Chaillot, scene shortly after 4 p.m. Moscow Blames West From Moscow came an indi cation of what the Russian posi tion may be. The authoritative New Times said the western powers, through violations of four-power agreements, have exploded the legal basis which assured them the right of par ticipation in the Berlin adminis tration." It declared the appeal to the security council would fail. The paper blamed the west for the breakdown of the Mos cow negotiations over Berlin. "It is not a matter of chance that this was the chosen moment when the assembly of the Unit ed Nations began work," New Times said. "Indeed, all this narrow-minded plan of Mar- shall-Bevin was timed ahead for this." Action Expected Monday British sources said they did not believe the 11-nation se curity council will take action on the western charges before Monday. It was noted that the western notes did not request "urgent" action. The three gov ernments were said to wish to avoid an appearance of trying to stampede the UN into hurried disposition of the case. Yugoslavia lined up solidly behind the Soviet Union today as the western powers prepared to send their case against the Russians to the United Nations. Yugoslav Foreign Minister Edward Kardelj said during de bate in the general assembly that the world's woes are due to the anti-Soviet policies of the western nations. Premier-Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia and his lieutenants recently were de nounced by the cominform for departing from Moscow's com munist line. Yugoslavia Blames West Kardelj listed the differences between the Russians and the west, point by point, and put his country on the side of the "peo ple's democracies." The Yugoslav said the inhabi tants of the world's colonial em pires "have been brought to a condition where they have to pay with blood for every step on their way to freedom." "The conditions laid down by the so-called Marshall plan are unacceptable for an independent country," he declared "It is evi dent that such conditions have been laid down on purpose, in order to make them unaccept able to the Soviet Union and the people's democracies." Columbia River G a s s t 6 Portland, Sept. 29 Pj The Col umbia river instead of automo bile tanks held 3170 gallons of gasoline today. A trailer tank rolled over at North Union and Denver avenues yesterday and the gasoline flowed into gutters en route to the Columbia. when the plant was closed by i Portland, had threatened the Sa from 5 to 12 'A cents an hour, and continued to woik Wednes day forenoon notwithstanding the strike was under way in Portland. They were forced to quit at noon when a definite walkout was ordered. At present the minimum wage for women paid by the company is 95 cents an hour and for men $1.10. In the Salem plant, how ever, the minimum for men is $1.25, ranging up to $1.50. At the Salem plant about 10 men and 20 women are affect ed by the strike. The dispute interferes seri ously with both the turkey and chicken processing. Turkeys are just coming into the prime stage, Ryals said, and the birds are killed and prepared for the market as received. If Ihe strike goes on they will be left on the hands of the farmers unless han dled by other concerns where, it is feared there is possibility of a sympathy strike. With chickens there is a dif ferent siluation. They are not killed immediately upon being received at the plant but arc penned and fed by a regular feeding crew (Concluded on Fag 11.
