i TUNNEL OF LOVE
: Wags Give Name to Underground
i Passage Under Court Street
By WILLAM WARREN
y m Un,l4l Preu Slaff Cormpondrnt)
J The state has started to funnel a tunnel from the capital to
Its new office building rising across the way, and of course eapi
t tol eut-uoa already have tagged It the tunnel of love.
Geographically, the tag is appropriate. The tunnel of love
' will lie below Court itreet.
Grinned acting Gov. William
JE. Walsh: "There won't be any
papier mache mules to kick at
you aa you go along. No skele
tons looming suddenly In front
of you. No jail-like doors to
crash through."
The senate president from
' Coos Bay, sitting in for Gov.
Douglas McKay while he is in
Washington, D. C, for a Colum
bia basin hearing, points out
that actually the tunnel will be
most useful. It stands to pay
its way and then some in time
aaved in needed travel from
capitol to $2,000,000 office build
ing. Court street takes highway
09 through the center of Salem,
and traffic past the state house
la something to see. Thanks to
the tunnel. Court street traffic
will move unmolested by state
employe pedestrians. And state
employe pedestrians will move
from structure to structure un
molested by Court street traffic.
The tunnel will be well light
ed, although of course there's
always the chance of a blown
fuse. A man can have his
dreams. It may not be a tunnel
of love, but It is bound to be a
, tunnel of lovelies. Salem
; abounds with beautiful belles
) and some of the fairest work for
the state of Oregon.
I That new office building is
going to be something. Finished
) In marble. It will complement
, the capitol and the new state
J library building. The library
.and office structures, each oe-
i cupylng a block, face each other
. acroaa a lawn-covered square, in
wing positions north from the
) capitol.
i Floyd Garrett, general euper-
Intendent of the Salem division
, of the Sound Construction Co.
; of Seattle, which la erecting the
' structure, estimates the office
' building will be computed about
; Dee. 1.
He estimates the tunnel, cost
ing $43,860, will be completed
in about six weeks. It will be
of reinforced concrete, water
proofed outside and finished as
architectural concrete on the in
side. It will be 8 feet wid
enough for four-lane pedestrian
traffic 10 feet high and some
320 feet long.

Plan to Revive
PWA Proqram
Washington, May 20 Wl A
group of government officials
are laying the groundwork for
a public works program along
the lines of the old PWA, it was
learned today.
The program is designed for
use if unemployment should
reach a "danger point."
The leading proponent of the
program is Maj. Gen. Philip B.
Fleming, longtime federal works
administrator who recently was
appointed head of the maritime
commission. He said today he is
opposed to any "leaf raking"
projects. He favors, instead, the
construction of much - needed
public buildings, post offices and
court houses.
Despite opposition from other
quarters, Fleming is reported to
have won over President Tru
man's council of economic ad
visers on the proposed first step
of his plan.
This would be to ask congress
to re-enact a provision of the
1944 war mobilization act, grant
ing money to local government
tu map out public works pro
grams. The plans then would be
laid aside for use if unemploy
ment should become critical.
Nothing would be spent on
actual construction at this time
The $40,000 000 believed neces
sary to draw up plans, would
provide the blueprint for $400,
000.000 to $300,000,000 worth of
projects.

'injunction on
Fixed Gear Law
Fixed-gear salmon fishing In
the Columbia river will conti
nue, at least for the Dendency
of court action now In progress
I in Marion county circuit court.
Judge E. M. Page ruled Thurs
day that a preliminary injunc
tion prohibiting enforcement of
the ban on such fishing will re
main in force until the final
hearing on the case.
Plaintiffs in the legal battle
are a group of fixed-appliance
fishermen, including the Colum
bia River Packers association.
They allege that an act prohibit
ing fixed nets in the Columbia
is unconstitutional.
The measure was approved at
the last general election. Plain
tiffs in the suit claim that the1
title of the bill, which refers to
the taking of salmon from the
Columbia, is misleading in that
it does not cover all the general
provisions of the act.
They also allege that the act
keeps them from their usual oc
cupation, and thereby deprives
them of a means of livelihood.
i This would make the act uncon
stitutional.
