Names Group to
Probe Cily Pay
Mayor Robert L. Elfstroin
Thursday announced the special
committee that will investigate
salaries and wages paid city of
ficials and other employes.
Members of the committee are
Aldermen Dan J. Fry, Howard
Maple and Tom Armstrong.
City Manager J. L. Franzen is
an ex-officio member.
Appointment of the commit
tee was moved at the city coun
cil meeting last Monday night
by Alderman Armstrong, whose
idea was that it should go into
city salaries and wages for ad
justment this fiscal year. Mayor
Elfstrom said Thursday some
adjustments might be made this
year, but he thought the report
to be turned in by the commit
tee would be of value mainly as
applying to salaries for the fis
cal year of 1950-1951.
When Armstrong moved ap
pointment of the committee
Monday night it brought a pro
test from Alderman David O'
Hara, who said he didn't think
it was fair to the taxpayers to
publish a budget and then make
changes in it later.
"It is a very grave decep
tion," said O'Hara.
Fry Talks on
Visit to Africa
The further one gets from civ
ilization, the better the native,
learned Dan J. Fry during an
extended tour of Africa several
months ago. Fry, who with Mrs.
Fry Flew to Portugal then to
Africa, spoke of his experiences
and impressions during Thurs
day's Salem Lions club lunch
eon. The native, Fry said, picks
up the habits and manners of
civilization rapidly and it is not
a question of what the white
man will do with the millions
of natives but what the "natives
will do to the whites."
The entire country is one of
confusion insofar as habits, liv
ing conditions and similar ele
ments are concerned, Fry dis
covered. The thousands and mil
lions of natives one encounters
during a tour of the immense
continent leaves one. virtually
stunned as to the magnitude of
the population. However, their
wants are simple, a circum
stance that makes it possible for
one man to support a dozen or
so wives. Such a condition, the
speaker remarked, is quite con
ducive to rapid increase in pop
ulation. Today's temperatures in Sa
lem are higher than anything
the travelers experienced in Af
rica, except along the coast. The
interior is mostly a high plateau.
Pictures taken during the trip
were shown at the conclusion of
Fry's talk.

EYEWITNESSES TELL
Survivors Describe Crash
As 'Flaming' Nightmare
Chatsworth, Cal., July 14 (U.R)
here was a "flaming nightmare," survivors ana rescue uim-i
said today.
The dismembered bodies of dead and injured were strewn over
a half-mile area where the plane smashed down in the desolate
Cantti Auennna mountains. V '
"People with broken legs and
mangled bodies were crying for
help," said 18-year-old Mrs.
Jewell Frost of Long Beach,
Calif., who escaped with minor
injuries.
"I couldn't do much, but was
able to help six of them to safe
ty. "The plane was burning. The
fire seemed to start as soon as
we crashed.
"When the plane stopped, I
was still strapped into my seat,
but I was lying on my side. I
helped my scat companion, a
pretty girl, unfasten her belt.
"The front part of her foot
was gone. We crawled forward
and escaped through a hole. I
don't think It was a door."
Mrs. Frost, wife of an airline
pilot, said "somewhere in the
back of my mind, I'd always had
the feeling I'd die in a plane
crash because I've flown so
much."
"When it came, I remember
thinking, 'this is it; this is the
end.

Force Used to

Handcuffs and force required
to bring a Dallas youth to oolice

disorderly conduct being lodged
against him also.
The youth, James iranKiin
Davis, was arrested by police
after he was found speeding
through downtown Salem inter

signs.
When he was placed under ar
rest for reckless driving on that
charge, he refused to accompa

a report detailed. Force and
handcuffs were needed to ac

and verbal objections.
Davis accused police, accord

congress, and he said "selfish in
terests" were to blame. Then
he added:
"Now these same selfish inter
ests are urging us to commit a
third great blunder. They are
now urging drastic cuts in gov
ernment expenditures . cuts
which would fall hardest on
those expenditures which are
most important to our domestic
economy.
That was an opvlous refer
ence to the move in congress to
trim federal spending. In the
senate, for example, more than
60 senators democrats and re
publicans have signed a peti
tion urging action on a resolu
tion directing the president to
cut appropriations for me cur
rent fiscal year by frpm five to
10 per cent.
Mr. Truman explained that
he is dropping his request for a
$4,000,000,000 tax increase be
cause he does not want to injure
the economic health of the coun
try," indicating the alternative
is red ink spending.

barefooted to the scene with
some friends and started doing
what I could for the injured.
He wrapped his flowing robes
around the broken bodies and
helped carry them down the
steep slope.
Movie extra Orie Robertson
said two or three persons were
still conscious when he arrived.
"One man kept crying:
'Please, help me, God.' He was
quoting the scriptures.
"Then I saw a woman who
was cut up pretty bad. I held
her in my arm for half an hour
and tried to stop the bleeding
until the ambulance arrived."
The Rev. Richard Harnett of
a Canoga Park Catholic church
arrived soon after the crash and
administered last rites to victims
where they lay among the rocks
and wreckage.
