Research to Fight
Spruce Budworm
State and federal agencies will
begin July 15 on a large scale
research program to fight the
spruce budworm, which already
has infested more than a mil
lion acres of Oregon's forests.
George Spaur, deputy state
forester, said his department
would be joined in the program
by the federal bureau of en
tomology and plant quarantine,
and the U. S. forest service.
Spaur said the new program
will be aimed at controlling the
insect before damage is done. '
"At present, we can only spray
this vicious tree killer during
a limited 10- to 15-day parval
period and after the damage
has been done," Spaur said.
"If this time can be extended
from spring to midsummer, it
will materially increase the for
est acreage that can be sprayed
and treated annually. We do not
intend to stand idly by and allow
the budworm armies to multi
ply."
. Spaur said that unless the in
sect is controlled, it could do
10 times as much damage as
forest fires.

Few Injured in
Holiday Crashes
A smashup early Tuesday
morning involving six vehicles,
one of which was tossed on its
side, amazingly resulted in no
injuries to two drivers and a
passenger riding in the autos.
The accident occurred short
ly after 7 a.m. at the corner of
South High and Ferry streets. A
car driven by Donald M. Mack-
lin, 925 Madison, struck the side
of an auto driven by Andrew
Jackson Creech of Auburn,
Wash.
The Creech car was flipped on
its side by the impact, while
Macklin's auto careened into a
used car lot on the southeast
corner of the intersection, strik
ing two parked trucks and ram
ming them into two more autos.
Neither driver nor a passen
ger with Creech, Charles H.
Shelton of Pigeon Hollow, Pa.,
required treatment by the first
aid crew which was rushed to
the scene.
Despite extensive damage to
the auto which turned over, it
proceeded under its own power
after it was righted.
Though there was a heavy
volume of traffic through the
Salem area over the long holi
day week-end, only two other
accidents were reported by po
lice.
One occurred when a car
driven by John Such, Myrtle
Point, was struck by a train at
12th and Center streets. The
driver and one passenger, Mar
vin Helvig, were taken to a hos
pital for treatment of injuries
Two other passengers in the car,
Mrs. Lea Helvig and Mrs. Mar-
ceil Such, apparently escaped
injuries.
In another accident report,
police claimed a truck, driven
by Mrs. J. B. Maden, 1730 N.
Front, struck and broke a pow
er pole at Commercial and
Trade streets.

Economic Level
(Continued from Page 1)
It is based on statistics sup
plied by member nations. The
UN makes no independent ef
fort to - check the figures sup
plied by the members.
The report noted that U. S
production, which in 1947 had
zoomed to 165 per cent of the
1937 level, increased only five
per cent more in 1948 to 170.
Russia, it said, reached 171
per cent of its own 1937 level
last year a spectacular jump
over the 135 per cent increase
reported in 1947.
However, the figure 100 taken
as a norm is based on each in
dividual country's pre-war in
dustrial output.
For instance, although Rus
sia is listed as having 171 per
cent in relation to its own 1937
figure, the Soviet Union's steel
production is only 18,500,000
metric tons one fifth of the U.
S. output while figures sup
plied for the survey show Rus
sia produced only 170,000 motor
vehicles in 1948 compared to
5,285,000 in the United States.
The U. N. economists did not
say specifically that Russia's
rate of production would con
tinue to increase, but this was
the implication of their general
prediction for 1949. They said:
"The indications are that it
will be difficult for general in
dustrial output in Europe as a
while, exclusive of the Soviet
socialist republics, to increase,
as rapidly in 1949 as in 1948.'

Page to Take
Oath on Friday
Circuit Judge E. M. Page
plans to take the oath of office
as a justice of the Oregon su
preme court next Friday morn
ing and it is likely that Rex Kim
mell, now assistant attorney
general, will immediately there
after be sworn in as Maridh
county circuit judge to succeed
Judge Page. Both are appoint
ees of Governor Douglas McKay
the appointments being necessi
tated by the death of Judge Per
cy R. Kelly.
Judge Page probably would
have taken his place on the high
tribunal earlier but he had two
cases in circuit court awaiting
decision. One of these he expects
to decide immediately and the
other will follow soon and his
docket will be cleared.
Judge Page became circuit
judge for this county June 14,
1941 by virtue of appoinment by
the then Governor Charles A.
Sprague. The office to which ha
was appointed was created by an
act of the legislature dividing
the old judicial district of Linn
and Marion counties which had
two judges, the new act giving
Marion county two judges and
leaving a judge in Linn county.
Judge Page was re-elected in
1942 and again in 1948.
This was the only public office
to which he was ever elected or
to which he ever aspired. Im
mediately after his graduation
from Willamette university law
school he entered the law firm of
John H. and Charles L. McNary
with which he remained until he
took the circuit judgeship.
43 Day Drought
(Continued from Page 1)
On Long Island, the big po
tato crop has suffered by $4,
000,000, and truck crops are re
ported severely damaged. If rain
doesn't come soon, the potato
crop may be depleted by $5,000,
000 worth.
Scattered Storms Help
Storms that hit some parts of,
the state yesterday were describ
ed as a "million dollar rain."
Scattered parts of the state got
the slaking rains, while the New
York metropolitan area was
whipped by a violent wind and
rain storm that brought destruc
tion and death.
The storm, though, dropptd
little water on the baked land.
New England's drought area
includes the vegetable, dairy and
tobacco lands that stretch from
southern Maine, Vermont, Mas
sachusetts and Rhode Island to
Connecticut.
Prof. Grant B. Snyder, head of
the vegetable gardening depart
ment at the university of Massa
chusetts, said losses in New Eng
land now approximate fivt to
10 million dollars.
If there is no real rain within
a week, Prof. Grant added, th
New England loss could approx
imate 30 to 40 millions.
