Pope Proclaims
1950 Holy Year
Vatican City, May 26 U
Pope Pius XII today officially
proclaimed 1950 a holy year
and, in the most solemn bull he
has issued, called on Catholics
throughout the world to rally
against persecutors of the
church.
God must be asked insis
tently," he said In part, "that
the right of the church be main
tained unharmed and entire
against plots, decelpts and per
secutions."
Should anyone audaciously
dare to oppose the celebration of
the holy year, he said, "he will
incur the indignation of Al
mighty God and of the blessed
apostles Peter and Paul."
He urged peace among Indi
viduals, nations and "especially
in Palestine." He promised full
pardon for sins to all Catholics
who visit Rome's four major
basilicas and perform prescrib
ed rituals during the holy year.
Tha pope signed the docu
ment as "Pius, Bishop of the
Catholic church. Previous bulls
he has issued were signed simply

with you at a time and place
convenient for you, preferably

Victim Victor G. Reuther
(above), CIO United Auto
Workers officer, was struck
In the face by a shotgun blast
as he sat In the living room
of his Detroit home (May 24).

time his brother, UAW Presi
dent Walter P. Reuther, was
shot 13 months ago, (AP

Scant Clues in
Reuther Attack
Detroit, May 26 W) Police
sifted scant clues today in the
ambush attempt on the life of
CIO Unionist Victor Reuther,
blinded in one eye by an un
known attacker's gunfire.
At the same time the FBI
was considering whether to en
ter the Investigation after a
stream of requests from a num
ber of quarters, including con
gress, the CIO and the state of
Michigan.
So far only local authorities,
with the help of state police,
were pushing the search for the
mysterious assailant.
Reuther, educational director
for the CIO's big United Auto
Workers union, was shot through
a living room window of his
home Tuesday night.
The police clues were the
weapon, a double-barreled 12
guage shotgun abandoned in
the Reuther yard, and a heel
print.
Except for the neighbors' re
ports of seeing an "old model
car" drive off rapidly after the
gunshot, authorities otherwise
lacked much evidence.
Surgeons at Henry Ford hos
pital yesterday removed Reu-
ther's right eye, which a shot
gun pellet had virtually ripped
to pieces.
Reuther, 37, also shot In the
face and neck, was reported in
"satisfactory" conditlion after
the operation.
Raps Government
Housing Project
Denial that private enterprise
had failed to live up to its obli
gation In the building of homes
was made by Randall Gore of
the Retail Lumbermen s associ
ation of Portland during Thurs
day's Salem Lions club lun
cheon. Furthermore, he charg
ed that if the present housing
bill is passed by the congress
each one of the 810,000 houses
that is scheduled for construc
tion will have saddled upon it
$15,209 in administration, sub
sidy and other charges.
This would mean, Gore said,
that one private dwelling would
cost in excess of $25,000, primar
ily for those people whose in
comes are in the $2000 or less
bracket. Since it Is estimated
there are 12.000,000 families in
the $2000 income bracket, the
bill before congress would take
care of but seven per cent of the
total.
Gore said that a people that
spends approximately 11 bil
lion dollars annually on liquor
and tobacco cannot legitimate
ly complain over an alleged high
cost of housing.

To Graduate
Approximately 5 0 0 seniors
will graduate from Salem high
school during commencement
exercises to be held in the
auditorium the night of June 2
Principal E. A. Carleton reports
this number is about the same
as a year ago If G. I. graduates
are not taken into consideration.
A number of formed service men
received their diplomas last
June. However, few of them
are yet to be considered.
Rev. Charles E. Harrison, a
graduate of Salem high school in
1907, the class of which Admiral
Ross Mclntyre was a member
will deliver the commencement
address. He is pastor of the
North Methodist church of Co
lumbus, Ohio, the city where
Dr. C. G. Doney, former Willa
mette university president re
sides. Rev. Harrison was stud
ent body president while in Sa
lem high.
Rev. Lewis C. Kerby, pastor
of Jason Lee church, Salem, will
have a part In the commence
ment program. Admission will
be by ticket only.
Baccalaureate service will
take place next Sunday night in
the high school auditorium with
Rev. Lewis E. White, pastor of
Knight Memorial Congregation
al church, delivering the sermon.
Rev. Orlando Jewell, father of
Paul Jewell, graduating senior,
will assist.
The senior class assembly will
be held next Tuesday afternoon
at 2 o'clock when the various
awards will be announced.
County Court Rejects
Liability Insurance
A proposed comprehensive
public liability Insurance pol
icy, to cover certain proper
ty owned and operated by Mar
lon county, was voted down in
county court Thursday morn
ing.
A local insurance agency
quoted the county an annual
premium of $1082 for the pol
icy, which would carry a $10,000
limit clause. Since there is a
statuatory limit of $2000 on law
suits against the county, the
court decided that it would not
be practical to carry such a
liability policy.
Damage sustained by a Salem
couple in driving their car off
an open ferry approach prompt
ed the court to make an inquiry
as to liability insurance for the
county.

New Oil Basin
Tapped, Canada
Pittsburgh, May 26 (U.FB Gulf
Oil corporation has tapped an
oil basin in Canada which may
surpass any such area in the
western hemisphere and be
more Important than Iran's vast
oil resources.
News of the firm's share in
a strong producing well near
Edmonton, Canada, was dis
closed at the annual stockhold
ers meeting. The new well
opens up an entirely new field
in the nearly virgin and vast Al
berta province basin.
The Ellis well was a wildcat
venture and is some distance
from three other fields opened
during the last two years In the
area. Pay sand was struck in
the Ellis well a few days ago
but deepening of the hole to
more than 5,000 feet resulted in
a flow of 73 barrels the first
hour.
Gulf leased two million acres
in the Alberta basin which is
more than 2,000 miles long and
800 miles wide. The basin is be
lieved to be rich potential oil
area.
The tremendous possibilities
of the huge basin which
stretches northward from the
Montana line was discovered in
1947.
Imperial already has 200 pro
ducing wells In the Alberta ba
sin with only a small part of
the area tapped.

soybeans lower on the board of
trade today. Trading volume
picked up on the sell-off, but

viously had been very light in
this grain-growing region.
Hedging pressure again was a
factor in corn, as it was yester
day, although bookings of cash
grain fell off from the high rate
of the past two days. They were
still quite high, however, being
reported at 92,000 bushels be
fore the market closed.
