Dunagan Bridge
r On Abiqua Ooen
Members of the county court
after visiting the county 4-H
club show at Silverton Friday
afternoon inspected the newly
completed Dunagan bridge on
the Abiqua highway now open
to traffic. However, while it is
completed as far as carrying traf
fic is concerned it is planned to
add a cover to the structure a
little later as there are heavy
snows and rains in the vicinity
and it is estimated the cover
will preserve it for many years
longer than if left open to the
elements.
The court also Inspected the
Meridian road for damage done
there and went over the Gervais
Pratum road where long stretch
es have been scarified and re
rocked preparatory to a new oil
ing coat to be put on this sum
mer. This road had been paved
but was so badly winter damaged
in places parts of it had to be
completely torn up and made
ready for a new coating. Where
the road has been rerocked it
will carry traffic but is some
what rough.
The court found that all the
steel has been put in place on
the new McKee bridge with
only some of the riveting yet to
be done.
Report to the court Friday
sent Harvey Girod to the Mor-
ris bridge over the Pudding riv
er east of Woodburn at the
county line to ascertain extent
of damage done to some plank
. Ing there said to be broken. Gi
rod found what he termed a
very dangerous condition and
a county crew was sent to make
immediate repairs.

Selling Cancels
Earlier Gains
Chicago, April 30 UP) Mod
erate selling pressure toward
the close reduced or cancelled
early gains in grains, soybeans
and lard today. The market
was not active with dealings
confined mostly to local traders
The local crowd bought at the
outset. Inspired in part by fail
ure of parity prices to decline
during the March 15 to April
15 period. And confirmation of
trade reports of large pork ex
port allocations. Advices of
dust storms in western Canada
helped the early advance.
Toward the close the local
crowd tried to even up its com
mitments for the week-end
causing the late slump. Much
uncertainty existed concerning
the cash wheat buying policy
of the commodity credit corpor
ation next week.
Wheat closed 11 to 1 cent
higher. May $2.17-, corn
was higher. May $1.32-
oats were lo er to
higher. May 64-, rye was
ly-lt4 lower, May $1.22, soy
beans were Vt-lVt higher. May
$2.25-2.25, and lard was 1

Expected
to operate between Salem and
application to operate between
Salem and Wallace Bridge.
Roy M. East stages holds a
permit authorizing operations
between Tillamook, Hebo, Val
ley Junction and McMinnville
via Highways 18, 14 and 101.
His pending application is for
an extension of service from the
junction of Highway 18 with
Highway 22 at Wallace Bridge to
Salem over Highway 22 with no
local service between Salem and
Dallas.
East proposes that direct con
nections be made with Pacific
Greyhound lines at Valley Junc
tion for passengers originating
south of Wallace Bridge and des
tined for the North Lincoln
county beaches.
East opposed the Ratzlaff ap
plication, says the order Fri
day, "based upon the contingen
cy that in the event East receiv
ed authority to extend his serv
ices from Wallace Bridge to Sa
lem, and that through the pro
posed connections with Pacific
Greyhound Lines at Valley Junc
tion, it would be possible for
him to lose certain traffic to the
North Lincoln county beaches,"
if the Ratzlaff application should
be granted.
The order says:
"Under the present circum
stances, Roy M. East Stages'
present service between Mc
Minnville and Tillamook could
not be affected in any manner
by the . . . service proposed by
this applicant. The preponder
ance of traffic handled by Roy
M East Stages .... is between
the Tillamook county beaches
on the one hand, and the Lin
coln county beaches, on the oth
er hand, with interchange o f
passengers -via Pacific Grey
hound Lines at Valley Junction
This traffic would not be divert
ed from East to applicant (Ratz
laff) because of the close con
nections of East with Greyhound
unless the service of Greyhound
was curtailed on the schedules
connecting with the East serv
ice. The basis of East's protest
involves the pyramiding of a
contingency upon a contingency
which situation may or may not
be accomplished. It is merely a
proposal or a defense to cloak
the present inadequate service
in the considered territory.'
The Ratzlaff hearing was be
fore Examiners Donald J. Burke
and Malcolm L. Jones, repre
senting the commissioners.

Democrats Meet
To Elect Chairman
Portland, Ore., April 30 U.R
The democratic state central
committee was meeting today to
elect new officers for Oregon.
The state committee was fac
ed with a contest between Wil
liam L. Josslin and Mike DeCic-
co, both of Portland, for chair
manship, with Clarence F. Hyde,
Eugene, a possible third candi
date.
Upstate members were said
to have little interest in the
Josslin-DeCicco argument, thus
bringing Hyde's name into the
race as a dark horse entry.
The annual Jefferson-Jack-
son day dinner will be held at
the Portland hotel at 7 p.m. with
Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennes
see as the main speaker.

Mrs. FDR Wants
RussianstoEnter
Hollywood, Fia., April 30 UP)
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt says
she believes the United States
should permit visitors into the
country from Russia and the sa
tellite countries.
A false fear causes this coun
try to close its doors to visitors
from communis t-dominated
countries, she said. By letting
them in they would see some
thing of the democratic way of
life even though "they would
not dare go back and tell the
truth" except behind locked
doors.
Mrs. Roosevelt, a member of
the United Nations commission
on human rights, addressed the
closing session of the General
Federation of Women's clubs
here last night.
"We have no conception of
Russian discipline," said the wi
dow of the wartime president.
"Even Russian officials in this
country on United Nations busi
ness are terribly afraid. When
they accept invitations they
bring another with them, one to
protect the other."
Education Aid
Battle in Senate
Washington, April 30 UP) A
senate scrap over a $300,000,000
federal aid to education bill
centered today around the ques
tion of how to divide the money
among the states.
The issue was tossed into op
ening debate on the bill yester
day by Senator Lodge (R-Mass)
He offered an amendment to dis
tribute the money through a
$10 yearly payment for each
public school child.
The bill now calls for dividing
the money by a complex formu
la which takes into account not
only the number of children
to 17 years old in a state but al
so the annual income of its resi
dents.
Under the bill as now written
the federal payments for teach
ers' salaries and other school op
erating expenses would vary
from $5 a child in the richest
states to slightly over $29 i
child in the poorest.
That, Lodge said, is "ridicu
lous." He said a state can't be
classified as rich or poor "sim-
Dly on the basis of how much
income its residents have re
ceived over a given period of
time."
Save those dollars,
through Classified.

One Million Gallons of
Scotch Goes Up in Smoke
Edinburgh, Scotland, April
30 lP) One million gallons of
Scotch whiskey, barrelled for
export, burned in a fire which
swept an Edinburgh suburban
warehouse last night. A flam
ing river of whiskey flowed in
to the street out of the burning
casks. Of undetermined origin,
the fire was brought under con
trol shortly after midnight.
Oppose Cut by
Economy Drive
Washington, April 30 W
The administration fought back
today against a republican-led
drive to cut five percent off the
government's operating expens-
Scnator Myers of Pennsylva
nia, acting democratic leader,
told reporters an attempt will
be made next week to restore a
$11,440,000 slash in funds of
the labor and federal security
deoartment.
This cut was ordered by the
senate by a 44 to 37 vote last
Thursday which sent the $2,-
400.000.000 bill back to the ap
rnoriations committee.
The five percept cut propos
ed ty Senator Ferguson (R
Mich) would apply only to de
partment operating funds, which
make up but a small part of
the bill carrying mony for so
ciai security and other pay
ments to states.
Ferguson's latest attempt to
apply a five percent cut this
time to the $3,112,000,000 trea-sury-postoffice
money bill
was beaten in the appropriations
committee yesterday by a 13 to
4 poll vote.
Perhaps significantly, the poll
was taken after Chairman Mc
Kellar (D-Tenn) and Senators
Hayden (D-Ariz) and Russell
(D Ga.) had conferred at the
White House with President
Truman.

Secret Files
Washington, April 30 (P) Tes
timony that Judith Coplon look-J
ed at secret FBI reports after
she had been told not to brought
to a close the first week of her
espionage trial.
The testimony was given late
yesterday by Mrs. Ruth M. Ros
son, an attorney in the justice
department's internal security
section.
Federal Judge Albert L.
Reeves then adjourned the trial
until Monday.
Mrs. Rosson said she went to
work in the section Feb. 7. Short
ly thereafter, she testified. Miss
Coplon came into her office and
said she would like to look over
internal security reports she had
in two file baskets.
"She looked at them and she
took some of them back to her
office," Mrs. Rosson said.
A day or so later, she went
on. Miss Coplon returned and
asked for any reports relating to
foreign embassies, legations and
consulates, especially reports
marked "R," for Russian.
"Did you send them to her?
asked government Prosecutor
Raymond P Whearty.
"I did," the witness replied
She estimated that Miss Cop
lon got 50 or 60 such reports.
Earlier, Miss Coplon's former
boss, William E. Foley, testified
that he told the defendant late
in January or the first of Feb
ruary that she was to stop do
ing any work in connection with
internal security.

Hope to Kill Off
Increased Taxes
Washington, April 29 UP)
Republican senators, encourag
ed by an upset victory, today
drove to slim down President
Truman's multi-billion dollar
spending program all along tht
line.
They thus hope to kill off any
federal tax increases this year.
Senator Taft (R-Ohio) spear
headed the successful economy
campaign which late yesterday
sent a $2,400,000,000 money
bill back to the senate appro
priations committee with in
structions to cut it.
A solid bloc of 36 republicans
got unexpected aid from eight
democrats to turn that trick
and bowl over a long-standing
senate tradition not to send ap
propriation bills back to com
mittee. Voting against the mo
tion were 37 democrats.
Most senators thought they
were voting for a cutback of
about $15,000,000. But experts
on senate rules say the slash
actually may include well over
$200,000,000 previously added
to the bill but chapped off by
its return to committee.
Taft, smiling broadly, told re
porters afterward that he ap
parently caught the democratic
leaders by surprise. Only a few
moments before they had block
ed a GOP move to cut the bill
on the floor. The vote was 45
for to 35 against considerably
short of the two-thirds margin
required.
