The city will have available for the first unit about $45,000, of which about $20,000 will be city funds matching federal mon ey made available through the CAA. $67,500 Improvement An airport improvement pro gram started in 1948 is a contract totaling around $67,500 in city and government money. This work was suspended when win ter weather came on, but will shortly be resumed. One part of it is the construction of an apron on the west side of the field, which will fit into the ad ministration building plan. United Air Lines now occu pies a small temporary building on the east side of the field. Part of the preliminary work now being done for the admin istration building is a check-up to see how much floor space will be needed by United Air Lines, by the federal weather bureau, and possibly by CAA communi cations facilities. The administration building will fit into the city's master plan for airport development $iQ0,000Loof Lost by Thief New York, May 7 ) A young burglar looking for "any thing I could sell" found a $100,000 bonanza in the home of an automobile manufacturer's widow but was caught with it as he left the house, police said today.

Army to War on Land Speculators Near Dam The army engineers have declared war on land speculators in the Detroit dam area. Immediate steps for government purchase of lands lying within the Detroit dam pool area are to be taken by the engineers, ac cording to Col. O. E. Walsh, Portland district engineer. This move. Col.

Colonel Walsh's office has concentrated its land purchasing efforts at the dam site, areas for stockpil ing by the contractor below the dam site and at Camp Mongold, construction town for the proj ect. The corps of engineers has al so purchased land in the Detroit reservoir area just above the dam in order to start clearing operations. Colonel Walsh said his office will follow up with land acquisi tions in the town of Detroit and north and east of the town where entirely too much building is in progress. The corps of engineers does not intend to evict anyone liv ing in the area or conducting business there, Colonel Walsh stated, but the main purpose for action at this time is to pro tect prospective buyers and builders who may think they will not be in the Detroit dam pool area. As the property In the town of Detroit containing homes and business buildings is acquired. the corps of engineers will be prepared to lease it back to the original owners at a fair market rental. Colonel Walsh added. The town of Detroit must be evacuated and cleared early in the calendar year 1951, accord ing to Colonel Walsh, depend ing, of course, on appropria tions. The entire pool area will be posted In the immediate future to warn present and prospective residents and purchasers that the corps of engineers intends to acquire the area and that no new buildings should be erected in it Colonel Walsh requested that all real estate transactions in the area be recorded at once in order to expedite payment for land and buildings by the government. "There is a large number of real estate sales and leases which have not been recorded; he said.

The gondola of the Volunteer holds six persons including the pilot The glassed-in cage be- neath the gas bog is equipped with virtually all the flight in struments familiar to airplanes. Rudder pedals, similar t o those of an airplane guide the ship for direction and can be as sisted by the engines which are mounted on the sides of the bag at the rear of the cabin. Verticle direction is controll ed by a large wheel which turns to the front on rear and is mount ed between the pilot's and front passenger s seats. The view from the slow-mov ing craft, the rapid rate of climb, and the lazy pendulum like motion were noted as dif ferences between the Volunteer and heavier-than-air ships. Three former navy pilots, W B. Burkiss, R. H. Hobensack and L. E. Stillwell, take turns pilot ing the Goodyear ship. Hoben sack flew the blimp to Salem and Burkiss was the pilot for tne nrst local trips. The Volunteer left Salem ear ly today. Three-Year Old Girl Dies in Home Fire Boring, Ore., May 7 U.

Amundson Appointed to Housing Authority Group Elmer M. Amundson, attorney, was Saturday appointed by Mayor Robert L. Elfstrom as a member of the Salem housing au thority, to serve until 1954.

The Peiping radio said red army troops "attacking Tsimo- Tslngtao outer defenses" had captured Lingshan, 33 miles northeast of Tsingtao. The broadcast did not mention that American warships were based at Tsingtao. Neither did it give a date for taking Lingshan nor the number of communist troops involved. The Lingshan claim was the first indication of any red mili tary activity for some time in Tsingtao area. Red Broadcast (Months ago the communists rolled over the Shangtung pen insula of northwestern China, cutting off the Tsingtao area by land but holding off from any assault of the naval base city. Tsimo is 23 miles northeast of Tsingtao.) The communist broadcast, dealing largely with north Chi na operations, came after a na tionalist communique issued by the Shanghai garrison command reported thousands of red troops were hammering with little sue cess at the outer defenses of Chi na's largest city. The communique said Shang hai's defenders were hurling back with heavy losses 15,000 reds who were attacking the city from two directions. One sec tor was reported 30 miles west of Shanghai, the other 33 miles northwest. Cheeked at Shanghai The communique also said the reds were making little headway against Hashing, a third anchor in Shanghais defense arch 50 miles to the southwest. Railway officials in Shanghai said, however, that trains were running only to within 10- miles of Hashing. As far as was known in Shang hai, Vice Adm. Oscar Badger commander of U. S. naval forces in the western Pacific, was at Tsingtao aboard his flagship, the Eldorado. So was the transport Chilton with the former Shang hai marine detachment aboard. Both ships pulled out of Shang hai to avoid involvement in the Chinese civil war. It was also believed that some U. S. auxiliary fleet units were at Tsingtao but most of the com bat ships based there were thought to be at sea. Some were reported a few days ago In the general vicinity of the Yangtze river mouth below Shanghai. Friday Warmest Day ot Year With a maximum of 82 de grees, Friday proved to be the warmest day in Salem since September 12 last.

Several logging camps were closed yes terday because of the low hu midity. Medford was the hot spot in Oregon, Friday, with a maximum of 89 degrees. ect is considerable, but not more than could be normally expect ed. Tht change in tenants Is more rapid than when the project was first opened. Amundson, the new member of the authority, has for some time given more than usual at tention to city affairs, and Is a member of the mayor's special committee on traffic. A meeting of the authority Is to be called the week ot May 22 and at that time, Mayor Elf strom said, there may be dis cussion of whether the city will want any ot tht state match money made available by the legislature for housing pur poses. Tht total state fund Is $30,000, and about half the amount has already been asked for by tht city of Portland. British Beam 25, U.

The BBC beamed 21 addi tional stations at the Soviet Union, making a total of 25. America chipped in with 3( more, all operating on differ, ent wave lengths.

The purpose ot the scatter-gun technique em ployed today was to send on id many wave lengths that the jammers could not cover them all. Today's BBC broadcasts to Russia included news and an "extended" review of British press reaction to the announce ment of the Jamming, the spokesman said. Assistant Secretary of State George V.
