Huge Slide on
Sanfiam Highway
County Commissioner Roy
Rice who spent half the day
checking county equipment up
the North Santiam highway
Monday afternoon returned
with the information that in his
opinion that highway won't be
completed any earlier than Sep
tember 1, if it by that time.
He said that a huge slide on
the new highway had blocked
work and he had information
from the engineers that it will
take three weeks to clear this
away. Then, he said, he under
stands that State Highway En
gineers Baldock has issued an
ultimatum he won't acceot the
road not only until the slide is
fixed but it is fixed in such man
ner that, it won't occur again. As
result it will be necessary (a
slope back the roadway to guard
against future slides and this
will probably take more time.
Rice said two crews are hard

Three Oregonians were among
I 'n 'arted with the Sino-Japa-
nese outbreak in 1932. A na
tive of Indianapolis, I n d.,
Moorad worked on several west
coast newspapers, including the
Santa Cruz, Calif., News-Sentinel,
as well as English language
papers in the Orient. At the out
break of World War II he was a
public relations official for the
American Red Cross in the Pa
cific area, then covered Guadal
canal for the Saturday Evening
Post and later the New Guinea
campaign for the Columbia
broadcasting system.
As a world traveler, he toured
Russia and its satellites and
wrote a recent book, "Behind the
Iron Curtain."
Moorad, 41, is survived by his
wife, two children and his moth
er, all of Portland.
The other Oregonians aboard
the ill-fated plane, homeward
bound from a two-week Dutch
government - sponsored, tour of
Indonesia, were Charles Gratke,
a news editor of the Christian
Science Monitor, and Fred Col
vig, one of the most brilliant
journalists in the west.
Gratke, a graduate of the Uni
versity of Oregon, called As
toria his home. He was back
in Oregon briefly last year to
address the press conference of
the Oregon Newspaper Publish
ing association at Eugene. His
work for the Monitor at Bost-
ton, Mass., included that of di
recting foreign news cables.
When the University of Ore
gon student publication, the
"Emerald" was made a dally
morning newspaper, Gratke was
the first news editor and was
active in its publishing during
the remainder of his life on the
campus. He married Elizabeth
Whitehouse, of Forest Grove,
also a student at the univer
sity. Colvig, only 30, was born In
Jacksonville, Ore., in 1913, and
started his career on the Port
land Oregonian where he was
assistant editor of the newspa
per's Sunday page. In 1036-37
he was a United Press corre
spondent in the Pacific north
west. During the war, from
1943 - 45, he served overseas
in naval intelligence. After the
war he joined the Denver Post
and started the paper's first edi
torial page, the position he held
at the time of his death. Several
months ago he visited the Scan
dinavian countries, and his an
alysis of the European situation
was known throughout the coun
try. James Branyan of the Hous
ton Post was a cousin of Mrs.

Road Deathtrap
Albert E. Morris, for 42-years
a rancher on the Woodburn-Mo-lalla
road a mile and a quarter
east of 99E, has written the
county court that a hill at his
place on the road is a death trap
and needs some improvement in
the shape of posts and cables to
protect traffic.
To prove his contention he
cites the fact that two cars have
gone over the bank there in the
past six months with serious
effects. He says in one of these
accidents a car driven by a man
named Walker went off the
road and upended against a tree.
In another accident he says a
car driven by Cecil Sowa went
over the bank and he was driven
through a shatter proof wind
shield.
Morris states that there is a
slope on the road which is al
most unperceivable to a driver
but tends to send the car over
the bank.
County Judge Grant Murphy
is advising Morris that the road
in question is a state highway
and any improvements made on
it must be made by the state
highway department.
Opposes Power
Sales to Utilities
Washington, July 12 W
Senator Morse (R-Ore.) said to
day he is opposed to selling to
private utilities at the dams pow
er generated by the government
hydro-electric projects.
He made the statement in a
telegram to Henry Hansen, of
the Capital Press of Salem, Ore.
"I am opposed to the idea that
after the great power dams of
the Pacific northwest have been
built and paid for by the tax
payers private utilities should be
given special privilege priority
by way of taking all the power
tViey want at the bus bar (dam)
sites," Morse said.
"I think private utilities are
entitled to fair consideration in
respect to negotiating contracts
with the government for sale of
power but I think the people of
the area are entitled to have the
power distributed to them over
the Bonneville power adminis
tration transmission grid system
if they want to obtain their pow
er that way. I shall oppose any
attempt on the part of the pri
vate utilities to block the BPA
transmission grid system."
Tomlinson Reports
On Kiwanis Meet
Impact of high temperatures
and humidity experienced east
of the Rockies and on the Atlan
tic coast, made an impression
upon T. Harold "Tommy" Tom
linson, Salem attorney, which he
will recall for a long time. He
admitted as much during a re
cital Tuesday noon before the
Salem Kiwanis club of the ex
periences gained during a trip
to and from Atlantic City, where
he was a delegate to the Inter
national Kiwanis convention in
the role of lieutenant governor.

and "SLAVE SHIP"
OPENS 6:45 P.M.
Delegates from the northwest
went east by rail in three pri
vate cars with private lounge
and diner, all air conditioned.
They went to the Atlantic coast
without the necessity of a
change. The return was by auto
mobile. The convention itself was
an outstanding affair with a
number of outstanding speakers
appearing on the platform.
J. Hugh Jackson of Palo Alto.
Calif., elected president, dedicat
ed the Kiwanis organization to
one of "individual responsibili
ty," reported Tomlinson.
Kimmell Rules
On Insanity Case
Circuit Judge Rex Kimmell,
newly appointed by Governor
Douglas McKay to succeed
Judge E. M. Page, elevated to
the supreme bench, sat officially
for the first time Monday after
noon on an insanity hearing and
in doing so announced a policy
he will demand in all such hear
ings in the future. That is, that
the complaining witness in an
insanity hearing must appear in
person and be called upon to tes
tify if desired by the court.
In this instance the hearing
was set and the alleged insane
person in court, but not the com
plaining witness. On failure of
the complainant to appear.
Judge Kimmell continued the
case until next Saturday with
instructions to have the com
plainant in court.
"I will make this imperative
in all such hearings in the fu
ture," he said.
Tuesday he took over his first
hearings in juvenile court which
consumed a considerable part of
the day.

School Board
Meets Tonight
The Salem school board will
meet Tuesday night and it is
probable the directors will con
sider a tentative proposal that
the seventh and eighth grade pu
pils of the Hayesville district
to . the north be transported to
the Salem Junior high schools
during the 1949-50 school year.
It is understood the Hayesville
district is faced with extremely
crowded conditions under Its
present system of four teach
ers, each of whom is assigned
two classes. Shifting the sev
enth and eighth grades to Salem
would relieve the situation. The
district is located a few miles
north of Salem adjacent to the
Pacific highway.
The directors will review
progress of the building program
now underway in the Salem
district which includes construc
tion of grade schools in the Cap
itol a and Four Corners areas,!
and improvements at Parrish
junior high and the Englewood
grade buildings.
Superintendent Frank B. Ben
nett said he was not certain as
to whether he would be in a po
sition to make a recommenda
tion as to the principalship of
Leslie junior high school recent
ly vacated through the resigna
tion of Miss Joy Hills. The sup
erintendent has candidates from
within and without the system.
William O'Dwyer is New
York's hundredth mayor since
