Dog Jailed Salem's assistant
chief of police, .E, C. Charlton,
jailed a reddish looking fellow

Price of Milk
Drops Friday
Salem distributors announce
that the retail price of milk will
drop Friday morning, from 20:
cents to 19 Vs.
The announcement was made
by Curly's dairy and by the
Dairy Co-operative association.
The drop here follows a simi
lar drop in Portland which was
ordered by E. L. Peterson, di
rector of the state department
of agriculture. The Peterson or
der did not affect Salem, but
conditions have developed in
the industry whereby Salem can
follow Portland in the one-cent
reduction.
The price of skim milk, which
is 14 cents a quart, will not
change.
Producers are to be paid $1.90
a hundredweight plus 90 cents
a pound for butterfat, as against
the present price of $1.58 a hun
dredweight plus $1.16 a pound
for butterfat.
Randall Talks
On Probation
Probation and parole is not a
matter for peace officers but is
a problem that should receive
the attention of every citizen
stated Hal Randall, director of
the state board of parole and
probation during Wednesday's
luncheon meeting of the Salem
Rotary club. The director then
went on to outline the duties of
(V8 department as well as wha
Parole is functioning well,
said Randall as he pointed out
that but 18 per cent of the 6100
men who have had been paroled
during the 10 years the board
has functioned have been re
turned either for technical or
actual violations. In this con
nection he said that the pres
ent cost of keeping a prisoner
in the penitentiary is $426 a
year. This is in contrast o a
supervision charge of $80 after
the prisoner has been placed on
parole.
The rate of release, said Ran
dall, depends to a certain ex
tent upon the amount of avail
able supervision.
Young Proles!
(Continued from Page 1) -
He said that during this per
iod there had been 2230 claims
filed on accidents by state cars
and of this number 2118 had
been settled and only 112 were
still pending. The majority of
the pending cases, he said, were
recent ones. The state paid the
exchange $132,283 in premiums
and the total losses plus reserves
totaled $153,892.
The company, he declared had
been carrying the state insur
ance on a loss ration of 116 per
cent and was willing to do this
because of the prestige gained
by the company in carrying the
state's business. However, he
said, that with the higher pre
mium charged on the new con
tract he felt that the company
could 'make a reasonable profit
on the state s business.
He urged the board to rescind
the previous action, and either
award the contract to the low
bidder or call for new bids set
ting forth all the conditions un
der which the contract would be
awarded.
No action was taken by the
board, members simply going
on to the next order of business
as the attorney and company
representatives filed out of the
room.

Washington, June 29 (IP) Re
publicans were reported feeling
a financial pinch today as lead
ers tried to heal the breach
opened by Vice Chairman
Thomas E. Coleman's resigna
tion from the party's strategy
committee.
In a closed meeting last night,
the strategy group tried to ac
cept "with regret" Coleman's
resignation as vice chairman,
while retaining him as a mem
ber.
But the party's Wisconsin
stale finance chairman would
have none of it, saying he had
quite the committee entirely
Members named a four-man
group, composed of Whitney
Gillilland of Iowa, Senator
Brewster of Maine, Rep. Leon
ard Hall of New York and Ar
thur E. Summerficld of Michi
gan to pick a successor as ex
ecutive vice chairman.
The new official would run
the strategy committee, with
Rep. Hugh D. Scott, Jr., staying
on as its cx-officio head. Scott,
the party's national chairman,
told members he has been work
ing 16 hours a day and needs
help.
Coleman said in quitting that
Scott hadn't been pushing the
committee's work along fast
anough.
Despite Coleman's stand,
Scott got a pat on the back from
members of the strategy group.
Beaten in last year's campaign
the republicans have found the
going rough in trying to get con
tributions.

The land is cut up into tracts,
