Check Made
On Restaurants
Salem is expected to place in
approximately the same place as
a year ago when final compila
tions of a check of the restau
rant conditions made two weeks
ago by state and county sanitar
ians are completed, W. B. Quinn
of the county health department
stated Thursday. A year ago Sa
lem rated third In the state.
The inspectors took a number
of "swab tests" from dishes and
other restaurant equipment, no
advance notice having been made
of the visitations. A tolerance
count of 50 bacteria is permissi
ble under state regulations.
Quinn states that there are ap
proximately 25 mechanical dish
washers being operated by Sa
lem food dispensing shops. Use
of chemicals for killing bacteria
is dispensed with if dishes and
utensils are permitted to remain
in water of a temperature not
less than 175 degrees for a period
of two minutes. Diagrams of
sinks for use in washing .dishes
by the hand method are availa
ble at the health department.
The modern dishwashing ma
chine is virtually fool proof,
Quinn states, although there is a
tendency on the part of employes
to grow a bit careless under the
impression that the apparatus
will care for all possible sanitary
needs.

Veldl Scene in
West Salem
Banks of the Willamette river
presented the appearance of an
African veldt , Wednesday aft
ernoon as many animals far
from Indigenous to Oregon, cas
ually grazed, much to the de
light of Salem and West Salem
children and to the surprise of
passing motorists.
The visiting fauna was due to
the illness of two lions belong
ing 'to the Pacific Northwest
Amusement company, which
was forced to stop and prepare
crates to ship the stricken lions
to California, consigned to a zoo
at Thousand Oaks.
Supervising the transfer from
cages to crates were John Beck,
Oregon City, and N. A. Smith
Lewiston, Ida., owners of the
show.
Interest in the lions switched
to the other animals, with two
dromedaries, four llama.- and a
three-month old buffalo taking
advantage of the unscheduled
stop and unexpected fresh grass.
Also in display for the amuse
ment of the youngsters were a
cage full of monkeys, a black
panther, leopard, ocelot and an
Alaskan honey bear.
Dr. Moore Talks
On Atlantic Pad
Unless America is willing to
pay the price it makes little dif
ference. whether it is a North
Atlantic pact, an atomic bomb
or something of a similar na
ture that seeks a way out of the
tendency toward world conflict.
So stated Dr. Brooks Moore, pas
tor of the Fim Methdoist church
Thursday noon as he reviewed
for the benefit of the Salem Li
ons club the controversial reso
lution submitted, before the
Methodists of . Oregon during
their recent conference at Ash
land. Prefacing his remarks with
the statement that he was given
a difficult assignment to speak
for the entire denomination, a
group that is probably the most
democratic of all churches, Dr.
Moore said that the conference
was merely giving a minority
group an opportunity to express
its opinions. "And believe me,
the resolution brought repercus
sions on the floor," he added.
To a lot of people the North
Atlantic pact is nothing more
than an easy way out," contin
ued Dr. Moore. He added that
the pact has a chance for suc
cess if all peoples involved work
and sacrifice for its principles.
However, he stated, the hardest
job faced by the American peo
ple is the task of living up to
their democratic preachings.
"We too frequently believe in
our preachings until the time
comes to put them into practical
use."
Harold Wiley's Body
Recovered from River
Sweet Home, Ore., July 7 (U.R)
The body of Harold Wiley, 23,
of Foster was recovered today
from the Santiam river where
he drowned while swimming
Wednesday night.
Gordon Scanlos, member of
the swimming party which in
cluded Wiley, recovered the
body about 6 a.m. from the riv
er near the Foster bridge.
Members of the party said
Wiley apparently suffered a
cramp. ,
Kaye Accepted at
U. S. Naval Academy
Michael Kaye, Salem boy ap
pointed to Annapolis, Wednes
day wired his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. George R. Kaye, that he
had been accepted at the U.S.
Naval academy.
Kaye, an appointee of Rep.
Walter Norblad, left Salem last
week for Washington and was
to report to the Naval academy
July S. Prior to that he visited
lit Washington. ,
Dr. Miller to
Ask Hearing
Dr. Horace G. Miller, State
hospital psychiatrist who was
fired yesterday for insubordina
tion, said today he might de
mand a state civil service hear
ing. 4 ar
I have been deeply grieved
by some of the trends and devel
opments at the Oregon State hos
pital under the superintendency
of Dr. Charles E. Bates, and the
treatment that has been accord
ed ,some of my friends. I am
considering having a civil serv
ice hearing."
Dr. Miller indicated that his
purpose in demanding a hearing
would be to clear himself of Dr.
Bates' charges that Dr. Miller
"was guilty of subversive activ
ity and insubordination."
William Ryan, state supervisor
of institutions, said he would
welcome a hearing, and that he
isn't afraid of any charges Dr.
Miller might present. Ryan sup
ported Dr. Bates, who was ap
pointed superintendent only last
year.
Dr. Miller said Dr. Bates called
him into the superintendent's of
fice yesterday and fired him.

The district attorney, pointed
ou: that under Oregon law pos
session of gambling equipment
is a misdemeanor punishable by
fine and confiscation of the
equlpmont.
Stadte: further explained that
failure of a district attorney or
law officer to secure a warrant
in a similar case was a misde
meanor for which responsible
officials could be deprived of
their office.
The raid Wednesday night led
to speculation as to possible
raids on other establishments,
Stadter said some of his infor
mation was secured from a
member of another lodge.
The raid on the Eagles estab
llshment was the second within
six months. On February 6, a
detective from the Salem police
department entered the club and
found a crap game in progress.
Six members were arrested at
that time for frequenting i
gambling house while the oper
ator of the game was charged
with running the crap table. The
equipment seized in that raid
was confiscated.

Dr. Benes
(Continued from Page 1)
The nephew of the man who?
was one of the founders of thei
Czech republic told how Dr. Ed
uard Benes predicted the eventSi
to come. After Munich, Dr. Ed
uard Benes told him this: "If,
ever Czechoslovakia is bolshe
vized, it will not ,be because o(
Stalin but because of the bef
trayal of Daladier (French pre?
mier) and Chamberlain (who,'
with Daladier, signed Czechoslo
vakia away at Munich)."
"The only country that of
fered to help the Czechs in 1938.
was Soviet Russia." The Czech;
president turned Russia's help
down, the Willamette professor;
said, because "Dr. Benes learned'
that Stalin figured to beat Nazf
Germany in six months and then
bolshevize Germany." "
Dr. Bones revealed also that;
when Hitler moved into hus-r
trla, Czech and Polish troops
were offered to the western de
mocracies on a march to Ber
lin, but the offer was turned
down by the British and French;,
The French were too much th
cowards."
In suggesting the need for
world leadership, Dr. Benes re
minded his audience that "great
leaders are not born in every
century. A Lincoln is not born
in every century."
His next talk will be
given
July 20.
