To Rebuild 12th
Street Railroad
Rehabilitation of the South
ern Pacific railroad along tne
entire paved portion of 12th
street will start u soon as wea
ther permits.
This was announced here Fri
day by W. H. Williamson, as
sistant division engineer, and
Leith Abbott, advertising agent
for the company.
Also the company is arrang
ing to hasten the work of track
and crossing repairs on other
streets in the city, the railroad
men said, and is keeping in con
tact with City Engineer J. H.
Davis.
On the 12th street main line
the company will renew rails,
ballast and surface and will
repave along the tracks. This
same Job was done, they said,
in the winter of 1942 and 1943,
but the soil formation on that
street makes it hard to keep the
tracks in the best of condition.
For the work now projected the
money has been allocated, and
the wc-1: should be under way
by early spring, and sooner
if weather should be favorable.
The work will be done In sec
tions to avoid interruption of
rail traffic.
Williamson said that since
1942 the . company had spent
about $60,000 In repairs on
Trade, Front and Union streets.
The city council has for some
time been Insisting that the
crossing improvements be has
tened. The meeting of November
22 directed the city attorney
to start proceedings, if neces
sary, to get Improvements maae
on all but 12th street, which
would be handled through the
public service commission.
Steel Barons Hit
By Davidson
Spokane, Wash., Dec. 4 U.
Assistant Secretary of Interior
C. Girard Davidson said today
that the government must build
steel plants if the steel industry
continues its "basic opposition
to expansion."
Davidson said the government
also must allocate steel and oth
er scarce metals and undertake
a minerals recovery program to
build up Its "inadequate" stock
pile of strategic minerals and
meet current industrial demand
for them.
He said that "military author
ities are now insisting that we
complete the stockpile and that
we do it quickly."
In a speech to the Northwest
Mining association, Davidson
lambasted the "eastern steel
barons" as "men of little faith
who are "in constant dread of
a depression which might leave
them with 'too much' steel."
Although they have "at last'
agreed to expand their produc
tion by 3,0(10,000 tons over
three years, he said, the cur
rent shortage Is running to 10,-
000,000 tons a year.
ir the steel men can t raise
the capital, he said, then the
Reconstruction Finance Corp
should he authorized to lend
them the money.

Kill Police Chief
Cairo, Egypt, Dec. 4 lPi Po
lice Chief Selim Zakl Pasha was
Injured fatally today by an ex
ploding hand grenade in a stu
dent riot at Fuad university,
police announced.
Police told newsmen three
police guards also had been
killed by grenades of striking
students.
The university opened this
morning after a two-day close
down which resulted from a pre
vious student strike against Bri
tish policy in the Sudan.
The chief was reported to

The blast occurred In the vi

Pasha's government.
Ambulances carried injured
students from the scene. Four

Students said demonstrators
shouted "Sudan for Egypt and
Palestine for the Arabs," and
"Down with Tiwh Nokrashy.'"
Student witnesses gave this
account of how the riot started.
A group of students compelled
Dr. Ibrahim Shawki Bey, direc
tor of the university, to accom
pany them as they marched to
ward the prime minister's office
in the presidency of the council
of ministers. One police cordon
allowed them to pass, but a sec
ond blocked their way and the

Dallas Safecrackers picked the large produce cooler with
its thick, heavily-insulated walls at the Dallas Safeway store
Wednesday night to literally blow the store's concrete lined
safe to bits. Here Deputy Sheriff Tony Neufeldt examines
the interior of the cooler for possible fingerprints Part of
the debris from the safe is visible in the foreground. The
burglars apparently took the interior cylinder of the safe
away intact to drill the combination later, since none of its
parts were found. They jimmied a door from the inside to
make their escape after coming through a skylight in the roof.
The safe was carted to the rear of the store on a handtruck,
handle of which was broken from the heavy 500-pound safe.
Store officials would not estimate the amount of loss, but it
included most of the receipts for Wednesday, as well as
change kept on hand, and would run to several hundred
dollars. (Photo by Paul Kitzmiller, Dallas chief of police)
Maritime Tie-up
Still Persists
San Francisco, Dec. 4 (IP)
A Jurisdictional dispute idled
Pacific coast ports today des
pite the settlement of a three
month strike by five maritime
unions.
Longshore workers ordered
last night were sent home, and
no dock gangs were called in
San Francisco today.

Pacific, which did not strike
but was Idled by the walkout
of five other unions Sept. 2, re

Harry Lundeberg, executive
secretary of the union, said his
men would not man the ships
until they are guaranteed new
CIO longshore and cooks and
stewards contracts will not in
fringe on job claimed by the
AFL union. These involve long
shore work on coastwise steam
schooners and cooks on th-i
Alaska steamship run.
Harry Bridges' CIO longshore
men threatened damage suits if
the AFL sailors prevented them
from returning to work.
Lundeberg had promised no
interference with loading or
unloading, but the ships can't
said without the AFL crews. He
said shipowners promised yes
terday they would abide by
existing contacts with his union
but added his men demanded
detailed agreement on the
controversial issues.

Detroit Man
Again in Toils
Burdette Young, operator of
the Detroit hotel who is under
a charge of asault with Intent
to kill, appeared in Marion coun
ty district court Saturday on a
new charge along with two oth
er Detroit residents.
Young, Joe L, Cotton, and
Margaret Aich, were arrested
by agenti of the Oregon liquor
control commission, on charges
of unlawful sale of intoxicating
liquor Friday. The trio was re
leased on $250 bail each.
In district court Saturday,
Judge Joe Felton set Dec. 10 as
the date for arraignment on the
charge. No liquor commission
representative appeared in
court.
A strange feature of the case,
however, was the fact that no
complaint against Young was
filed in the case despite his ar
rest, release on bail and appear
ance in court.
Attaches of the sheriff's of
fice disclaimed knowledge of
the affair and said it had been
handled by the liquor commis
sion men.
The state agency representa
tives in Salem said the investi
gation had been handled out of
the Portland headquarters, and
that no information was avail
able here.
The complaints against Cotton
and the woman, however.
charged them with the sale of a
pint of whiskey to a commission
agent.
Young was charged on Nov.
20 with assault with intent to
kill Forest H. Carey in Detroit

Duncan Drops
Franchise Suit
Litigation of Portland General
Electric company over the valid
ity of an ordinance granting Sa
lem Electric company franchise
privileges in Salem came to an
end Saturday in circuit court
when an order by Judge George
R. Duncan dismissed the case
of the electric company vs. Judd
and others asking for a declara
tory judgment as to validity of
the ordinance.
The people at the recent gen
eral election virtually settled the
case out of court when they
voted to approve the franchise
bill.
The case dismissed today was
on stipulation between attorneys
for the various parties but was
! without prejudice
Two suits were filed prior to
the election. The other suit
seeking to enjoin County Clerk
Judd from placing the measure
on the November ballot was dis
missed by the court prior to the
election. The present suit was
never brought to trial nor were
the issues joined.
