Court Denies
Bird's Plea
Walla Walla, May 24 Vn One
more of Jake Bird's numbered
days and another of his dwin
dling hopes were lost to him
today.
With outward calm, the con--im
nxe slaver yesterday
hurri Judee Sam M. Driver
deny his petition lor a stay of
execution. Bird is sentenced to
hang Friday.
, It was the second card to
drop in the space of a week
from the burly Negro's once
seemingly limitless deck. Only
a week ago, the' U.S. supreme
court refused for the second
time to review Bird's trial for
; the slaying of Mrs. Bertha Kludt
Oct. 31, 1947.
uii Since his arrest, the shrewd
S'transient has fought a bewilder-
ils lng series of delaying actions
, through every court which
would grant him a hearing, and
ucceeded In gaining two stays
of execution. Seemingly, he has
one chance left.
Althmmh Judec Driver de
' tiled a certificate of probable
cause so Bird could carry his
I case to the U.S. court of appeals
i in San Francisco, he told the
burly transient that he coum
send a petition direct to the ap
1 peal court.
1 That, Bird promptly declared,
.he would do. The necessary rec-
I ords are to be delivered to him

A plaid logger's shirt, an ax

from Albany.
They were accompanied by
nine of the 12 Timber princesses

plan, were referred to City Man
Mayor Robert L. Elfstrom and
Franzen, representing the city,
and Highway Engineer R. H
Baldock, and Attorney J. M
Dcvers, representing the high'
way commission, are expected
to meet soon for some preliml
nary discussion toward making
the plan effective. One further
step for the city, it is under-
stood, will be enactment of an
ordinance making effective the
policy adopted by resolution two
weeks ago.
Among communications re-
ceived by the council Monday
night was a plat and names in
the petition of North Summer'
street residents between E
street and Belmont, asking that
the zone classification in which
their property is located be
changed from residential to
business. The property on both
sides of the street Is involved.
The petition is based on the
conviction that making No-th
Summer a one-way main artery
street under the Baldock plan
would be detrimental to resi
dence property. They were rep
resented by T. J Brabec.
Another letter Monday night
was from Fred A. Sanders, who
also appeared personally. Sand
ers lives at 1095 North Summer
and his letter has a direct bear
ing on the North Summer peti
tion, which he criticizes. He
suggests that the council could
meet the petition in this way:
"The signers of the petition
could be told that they have
proceeded lmpropertly. That
there must be consent by signa
ture of 50 per cent and more of
the property owners within a
radius of 300 feet of the entire
affected area. That the signa
tures must be sworn to. That
the petition should have been
presented through other chan
nels."
From the angle of those op
posed to the Baldock plan as
adopted by the council Sanders
points out two ways in which the
council might by blocking the
right of referendum.
This would be done, he ex
plains, if the entire action were
by resolution. And, he contends,
the referendum could not be
nvoked against an ordinance.
regardless of emergency clause.
if the ordinance were merely
administrative to make effec
tive a policy declared by reso
lution. He cites court decisions.

prince's chateau has been re
fused.
The ministry said as a result
the marriage would take place
in the City hall at Vallaurls,
near the prince's Riviera cha
teau.
The ministry said it had ap
proved a waiving of banns, sc
that the marriage could take
place as scheduled May 27.
The dispensations were re
quested to permit the perform
ance of the wedding away from
the City hall.
The couple had hoped to have
their wedding shielded from
public gaze, in the privacy of
the Chateau de L'Horizon, where
elaborate preparations have
been taking place for the event.
First indication that the wed
ding might take place in the
City hall came yesterday when
workmen were sent to clean out
a room which had previously
been used by rationing officials.
That gave rise to speculation
that it was being prepared for
the wedding ceremony.

No Chance for
Health Program
Washington, May 24 WV-Sen
ate Democratic Leader Lucas
said after a White House con
ference today it will be impos
sible for congress to act on Pres
ident Truman's national health
program at this session.
As for any part of the civil
rights program, Lucas told re
porters, "I just don't know."
At the same time Lucas said
he thinks President Truman Is
'definitely satisfied" with the
progress being made on the leg
islative program he submitted
to congress in January.
We are going to have a pret
ty good record by the time of
adjournment," he said.
Lucas said there is a possi
bility of adjournment by July
31.
Lucas had been to the White
House for the regular weekly
conference that President Tru
man has with democratic con
gressional leaders.
House Speaker Rayburn, who
came out with him, agreed that
congress possibly can quit by
the end ol July.
Both asserted, however, that
if the legislators are not finished
with "must" measures by then,
"we 11 go right on Into August."
Lucas labeled as the three
"must" pieces of major legisla
tion:
1. Extension of the reciprocal
trade program.
2. Repeal of the Taft-Hartley
act.
3. Approval of the North At-
lantic pact.

Vote on Power
Soringfleld. Or. May 24 OP)
Establishment of an $800,000
municipal power system will go
before the voters in a special
election June 24.
Under the plan, offered to the
council last night by Mayor B.
F. Larson, power would be
brought from Bonneville. The
system would be financed by
revenue bonds payable In 20
years.
Mountain States Power com
pany now hat a long-time fran
chise from the city and the new
proposal makes no reference to
purchase of Its facilities. Pre
sumably the city would go Into
competition with the private
firm in power distribution.
The mayor told the council
the plan would reduce power
costs and attract Industries. He
said Ernest C. Porter, chief en
gineer for the Rocky Mountain
Engineering company, had en
dorsed it.
The council also ordered on
the June 24 ballot the question
of retaining the city manager

posed tax levy in excess of the
6 per cent limitation.
Dam Builder
Opposes CVA
Opposition to the Columbia
Valley Authority was expressed
by Albert Bauer, general man
ager for the Consolidated Build
ers now engaged in construc
tion the Detroit dam during
talk before the Salem Kiwanis
club Tuesday noon. Bauer ex-
Dressed the belief that army en
gineers and the reclamation ser
vice were capable of developing
the territory Involved to the
best interests of all.
In speaking of the effect of
the Detroit dam construction
upon the immediate territory,
Bauer said the 1250 people em
ployed on the project at the
peak of development would
spread much of their payroll
dollars through Salem and con
tiguous country. The speaker
thinks of Salem as the logical
distribution center for the many
services that will follow con
struction up the Santlam can
yon.
The dam when completed
should attract tourists and the
speaker spoke of the Breiten
bush hot springs, the Detroit
dam and the country east of the
summit as a perfect "package
tour."
Bauer urged the development
of manufacturing plants In
chemicals, wood products, agri
cultural machinery and glass.

The senate rules committee
has In its custody today a resolu

into charges that George Mc-

social welfare department.
Three state senators are auth

Senator Jack B. Tenney, Los An

Already pending before the
committee Is a request to look
into the hiring by Tenney's sen

activities of the editor of an
anti-communist newsletter. It
followed complaints of legisla'

newsletter to attack those mem

The resolution aimed at Mc-

committee with powers to con
