Hall Freed Only
To Be Jailed Again
An alleged confidence man
from San Diego gained the pro
tection of one Oregon law Wed
nesday only to be held for the
Marion county grand Jury on a
second.
Abel Jack Hall, accused of at
tempting to fleece two residents
of the veterans colony of $100
each under the pretext of offer
ing lucrative employment, was
set free on a resultant court ac
tion because there was no evi
dence in writing.
District Court Judge Joseph
Felton explained that the Ore
gon statute dealing with at
tempts to obtain money or prop
erty under false pretenses re
quire evidence in writing at
least a signature to the Intended
fraud.
Although Hall was freed on
that charge, he was led back to
Marion county jail in lieu of
$750 bail on a non-support
charge. He was ordered held for
the grand jury on the second
complaint.
At his news conference today
Acheson cited as a principal
statement of American policy
President Truman's inauguration
speech of January 20.
. In that speech, Mr. Truman
said the primary purpose of
regional defense agreements un
der the United Nations charter
"is to provide unmistakable
proof of the joint determination
of the free countries to resist
armed attack from any quarter."
Acheson said he thinks the
senate's foreign policy leaders,
Senators Connally (D., Tex.),
and Vandenberg (R., Mich.)
and the state department are
all seeking the same thing In
the Atlantic treaty project.
In a statement, Acheson de
clared: "With regard to the north At
lantic pact now under discus
sion, I should like to emphasize
that there are no real differen
ces in regard to the objectives
which this government is seek
ing to accomplish."
The secretary also reported
that he hopes soon to have a
complete treaty text. He said
the text will be made public.
Discussions are going on sim
ultaneously with senate leaders
and with representatives of key
European countries.
The question whether the
United States has backed down
from the idea of giving the
western European countries an
effective promise of American
military help, in event they are
attacked, arose as a result of de
bate in the senate on the defense
clause of the treaty project.
Petition Against
Flood Menace
Petitions carrying nearly 200
names were presented to the
county court Wednesday de
manding that the court take
some action to ward off the flood
menace which exists in the areas
of Hoyt, 12th, 13th and neigh
boring streets. It was stated
more petitions are to come in
and no hearing was had imme
diately pending further petitions.
It is asserted that the men
ace should be removed by im
mediate construction of three
aquaducts under the pavements
at the junction of the Fairview
home road and Pringle road
south of Hoyt strceujiwfcrd Tur
ner near the Mortarlcss Brick
company's plant before the
March rains create unestimated
damage.
It is also demanded that the
Davidson ditch be opened and
kept free from obstructions.
Zoning Board
Grants Permits
A special committee of the
city planning and zoning com
mission was named at a com
mission meeting Tuesday night
to make a further study of the
YWCA request for a zone change
at its location on State street.
The commission had recom
mended a Class III-X zone, or
restricted, instead of the Class
III general business zone re
quested. The YWCA prefers the
latter, so the commission will
reconsider.
On the committee are City
Manager J. L. Franzen, City
Engineer J. H. Davis, and City
Attorney Chris J. Kowltz.
The commission gave its ap
proval to the following propos
als Tuesday night:
Application of Oregon Elec
tric and Wallace Bonesteele for
vacation of alleys in Blocks 27
and 28. North Salem.
Application of Jason Lee
Methodist church for permit to
construct a church school build
ing adjoining the church.
Application of Carl Engstrpm
and William E. Foren for a
change from Class II residential
to Class III business at North
Capitol and Union, in Block 88.
Application of Clifford E.
Hald for a change from Class II
residential to Class III business
at Center and North 12th, the lo
cation of the former Little La
dy's Store.
Application of F. X. Albrich
for a variance permit at 1549
Broadway to make a two-family
dwelling out of a one-family
unit.
Approval means only the com
mission's recommendation to the
city council.
The commission disapproved a
zone change for the northeast
corner of Miller and South Lib
erty where Carl and Henry Barr
have been operating a plumbing
business in a residential zone.
A public hearing will be held
at a meeting March 15 on appli
cation of Coburn Grabenhorst
for a change from Class I to
Class II residential for Lot 3,
Block 4, University addition,
across from the Bush school,
where a court apartment is con
templated. 1200 Af Concert of
Portland Glee Club
Although stormy weather kept
many away, the Portland Men's
Glee club presented its concert
to approximately 1200 persons
at the Salem high school audi
torium Tuesday night. The pro
gram of varied musical num
bers, including solo selections
by George Bishop, member of
the music staff of Lewis and

formerly of the University of

misc at Lewis and Clark, direc
ted the program.

Peterson Tells
Farm Problems
The place of the farmer in
the economic picture of the
country was stressed by E. L.
Peterson, state director of agri
culture as he addressed the Sa
lem Rotary club Wednesday
noon. It was the annual farmers
day program of the club and
many members introduced their
agriculturist . friends.
Peterson said ther was little
difference between the farmer,
the labor unionist, the business
man or the industrialist when
it comes to the success or failure
of the country. One thing which
must be answered is the ques
tion of how much government
we can afford. Currently 25 per
cent of the gross income is be
ing swallowed up in taxes, he
stated. And in this connection,
he pointed to the ever increas
ing demands of the people for
more government asssistance
and guidance.
Peterson spoke of th eco
nomic waste being caused by
erosion, adding that he wonder
ed how much topsoil was flow
ing down the Willamette river
the other day following the
heavy rain. He added that Ore
gon was in much better shape
than the older parts of the coun
try in the matter of erosion.

Baldock Plan
To Be Studied
The North Salem Business
association did not adopt a def
inite stand on the Baldock traf
fic recommendations Tuesday
night, but appointed a commit
tee to prepare the association's
program.
On the committee are Robert
A. Forknar, chairman, Carroll
Meeks, L. T. Johnson, Bert Carr,
Walter Davies, and Douglas
Wallace.
The plan decided on will be
submitted to thte association at
a meeting March 1. The associa
tion will be represented at the
city council meeting March 14
when the council expects to take
action on the Baldock report. .
The meeting Tuesday night
showed an inclination to favor
entrance into the city from
Highway 99E by way of High
land avenue and a widened
Fairgrounds road rather than
by one-way streets on North
Capitol, North Summer, Norway
and Shipping as proposed jr
the Baldock report.
Meeks said rthe plan contem
plates the widening of High
land from Portland road west
to the Oregon Electric tracks
just west of Maple avenue,
thence the route would follow,
by a new right of way, the Ore
gon Electric tracks to North
Commercial or North Front.
James Tindall made a sug
gestion that the north part of
Fairgrounds road be widened,
and this had considerable sup
port. He thought this would be
necessary regardless of whether
the Baldock plan is adopted.
Earl Mootry reminded the
meeting that it should take a
well-studied position and ihen
put up a fight for it for the rea- Wallace Bonesteele said that
