20 Employes
Of UN Probed
Washington, July 15 (P) At
torney General Clark disclosed
today that some 20 or more per
sons attached to the United Na
tions headquarters in New York
are being investigated by the
justice department.
Clark, testifying before
senate judiciary subcommittee,
mentioned no precise figure on
UN employes. But he said the
department "has espionage and
intelligence investigations pend
ing concerning approximately
685 aliens." He added that
about four per cent involve per
sons attached to the UN.
Four per cent of 685 would
be about 27 or 28.
"This is not to imply," Clark
said, "that these parties are
actively engaged in espionage or
intelligence work but merely
that available information re
quires these investigations and
that they are present in prog
ress." He went on to say that one
employe of the UN "is reported
to be a contact of a suspected
agent of an iron curtain coun
try." Clark added:
"Another employe, who is
suspected of working for the in
telligence service of an iron cur
tain country, is believed to have
obtained a United Nations post
tion through an embassy official
of that country."
Can-Can Dance
By Margaret
London, July 15 (IP) 'Arry
and his old woman, 'Arriet, had
something besides the dollar cri
sis and the heat to discuss over
their pint of beer tonight legs.
Not just ordinary legs, mind
you, but royal, blue-blood legs,
covered in sheer, black silk
stockings, set off by a pair of
frilly pants, and twinkling in
the saucy can-can.
The legs, no less, of her royal
highness, Princess Margaret.
The princess' legs became
news this week at a fancy dress
ball at the home of American
Ambassador Lewis Douglas.
The king's younger daughter,
with Sharman Douclas, the am
bassador's daughter, and 10 oth
er girls trotted out before 250
guests.
They were dressed in the tra
ditional can-can girl's costume,
complete with red decorations
and feathers in their hats.
The band struck ud the usual
can-can tune, the girls did their
stuff.
When they were finished the
guests asked for more, and Prin
cess Margaret and her troupe
did it all over again.
People in a position to know
confirmed the storv tonight,
Princess Elizabeth and her
husband, the duke of Edinburgh
also were at the party. But they
played it conservative coming
dressed as a housemaid and
butler.
Shocking London and causing
talk is nothing new for the 18-
year-old Princess Margaret.

Roads for the Salem-Silverton
-''route rriday morning.
First to be heard was Dr. F
A. Loar, who represented the
Silverton Chamber of Commerce
and Silverton citizens. Loar
presented a petition with 334
signatures asking that work pro-
cede on the road taking the
route chosen by federal engin
eers. Points Out Advantages
Dr. Loar pointed out the ad
vantages of the road, noting that
it would connect with the pro
posed Cascade highway, running
north and south, and routed to
miss the south hills of Silverton.
The economical advantage of
the new route was one of the
points brought out by Dr. Loar
who drew attention to the im
possibility of following the pres
ent route into town because of
the cemetery at the west side of
town, and narrowness of the
road (the government requires
80 feet and the present road is
only 30 feet at the cemetery).
Dr. Loar also reminded the
group that even if the route
were changed it would not de
prive those living on the pres
ent route of use of that road as
it was a mail route and would
have to be maintained.
Heltzel Opposes Change
Representing those opposed to
the change in the route of the
road was Attorney Charles Helt
zel, who presented a petition
with 50 signatures in opposition
to the change, which stated that
real property owners abutting
on the existing r oad believe
that the present location fulfills
the needs of the public and
could be widened and made
safe.
Heltzel then contended that
use of the present road would
cost less than purchasing right
of ways for the new route and
noted that a similar petition had
previously been presented by
property owners on the propos
ed route. He reminded the
group at the hearing that while
those supporting the change in
the routing of the highway out
numbered those of the opposi
tion they were more vitally af
fected for it was their property
affected.
Others appearing in favor of
changing of the highway route
in their presentations to the
court pointed out the danger of
the present railroad crossing
and of the present right of way,
drawing attention to the record
of accidents on the last five
miles of the road into Silverton.
Money Already Allotted ',
This group also drew atten
tion to the fact that the money
had already been allotted by the
federal government engineers
and questioned the fact that the
county would get it for improv
ing the old route even after re
submitting the application.
In opposing the re-routing of
the highway the group represen
ted by Heltzel pointed to the
valuable farm land that would
be taken for the road and men
tioned that a number of farms
would be damaged by being cut
in half or into odd shapes. They
protested the construction of a
second highway so close to a
present highway and of the $75,
000 to be spent on an overhead
crossing.
Other Speakers
Speaking in behalf of the new
route besides Dr. Loar were Alf
O. Nelson, Lowell Brown, L. C.
Eastman, C. C. P a r t o n , J. D.
Drake, Si Runyan. Opposing it
were Mrs. Nellie Lorenzen, Al
vln Krug and Alfred Jensen.
Not protesting the road but
questioning the location of the
Cascade highway was Jonas By
berg. At the conclusion of the hear
ing Judge Grant Murphy re
minded the group that the $425,
000 had been allotted for this
route and the county court had
no part in choosing the route
then commented that Marion
county was only one of the
counties in District No. 2 allot
ted money. He noted there were
other projects that could use the
money in other counties and that
they would be glad to get it. He
then reminded them that Marion :
county was the biggest contrib
utor to the government fund in
district No. 2 and was not now
getting back from the federal
government what had been her
yearly contribution.

Britain Upset
On Crippsr Plan
London, July 15 (IP) Brit
ain's plan to slash dollar pur
chases 25 per cent caused a
storm in the London morning
press today. All newspapers
except the labor (government)
party organ took a dim view.
Sir Stafford Cripps, Britain's
economic boss, told the house of
commons yesterday cuts will be
made in purchases of cotton,
steel, non-ferrous metals, tim
ber, paper, pulp, tobacco and
sugar that have to be paid for
in dollars.
He said Britain would try to
buy them outside the dollar
zone.
To which the conservative
Daily Telegraph asked why, if
these things could be bought
without using dollars, Cripps
had not done so earlier.
The Financial Times, London
equivalent of the Wall Street
Journal, opposed the plan say
ing:
'Alternative sources of sup
ply might be in high-cost non
dollar areas. The result of ob
taining them must therefore be
to increase our prices and to
make the solution of the main
problem reduction of British
costs all the harder."
Britain must buy raw mate
rials to make the goods she sells
in dollar areas.
The Times said it was hard to
see how dollar-import cuts will
allow industry to keep up its
recent rate of business."
Dock Unions Sue
For $1,500,000
Honolulu, July 15 VP) A $1,
500,000 damage action marked
Hawaii's lingering waterfront
strike today the 76th day since
CIO stevedores tied up the ports
for a 32 cents an hour wage
increase.
The damage suit was filed by
Malson Navigation company, the
largest shipping firm serving the
islands. It asked $20,000 addi
tional damages for each day the
tieup continues.
Matson named three defend
ents: The International Long
shoremen's and Warehousemen's
union, to which 2.000 striking
stevedores belong; the CIO Ma
rine Cooks and Stewards union
and the Independent Pacific Ma
rine Firemen. Oilers, Watertend
ers and Wipers association.
A spokesman for Matson said
the suit was filed yesterday un
der provisions of the Taft-Hart
ley act. The provisions, he said,
authorize companies to "sue for
damages resulting from illegal
acts by unions" and for "dam
ages by reason of breach of ex
isting contracts."
The suit charges the two ma
ritime unions with breach of
contracts. Firemen and stew
ards walked off five of the 10
Matson ships tied up here by
the strike. The walkouts came
on there when Matson tried to
sail them back to San Francisco
and when two others were seiz
ed temporarily under federal
court orders for unloading car
go. Daylight Time to
Remain in Oregon
Portland, July 15 (IP) North
west Oregon and Willamette
valley points can keep daylight
saving time the rest of the sum
mer. Sponsors pushed daylight sav
ing petitions above the 15.926
signatures needed to prevent a
state law from banning fast
time.
Lee Stidd, Jr., Portland, who
headed the petition-gatherers,
said a total of 17,025 valid sig
natures was reached yesterday
The petitions were to be filed
in Salem today.
They will force a vote in No

light saving time is a matter

Order Strike on
Espee July 22
San Francisco, July 15 U.-
The Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen today called a strike
against Southern Pacific rail
road for July 22 which will tie
up both passenger and freight
service on the line in a seven
state area.
A spokesman for the railroad
largest in the west, said the
walkout would "tie us up prac
tically 100 percent."
J. J. Cochran, general chair
man of the brotherhood in San
Francisco, said the strike would
affect Southern Pacific's service
in Texas, New Mexico, Califor
nia, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and
Oregon.
: Cochran denied the strike had
anything to do with repeal of
California s "full-crew" law
Voters at the general election
last November voted in favor
of an "anti-featherbedding" in
itiative, which eliminated many
extra brakemen assigned to
trains as a safety measure i
der a 37-year-old law.
"The brotherhood is seeking
in all these states to acquire a
third brakeman on freight trains
of over 40 cars under certain
conditions," Cochran said. "It
also seeks a third helper on
switching crews in yards having
a grade higher than 14 of one
per cent in order to increase
safety "
Cochran estimated the strike
would affect approximately 8
000 workers on Southern Paci
fic, including dining car stewards
railroad brakemen on both pas
senger and freight trains, con
ductors who are members of
the BRT; men in the yard serv
ice.

The landing will be the cul
mination of a training operation

MAN FROM COLORADO:
anr
DISNEY FESTIVAL
rl
of agriculture director, in 1947
consumer grades and standards
of butter be declared null and
void and that the director be
permanently enjoined from at
tempting to enforce them. Ralph
E. Moody and Walter S. Lam
kin, Salem, appear as attorneys
for the plaintiff on the com
plaint.
Attorney Moody said in com
menting on the complaint that
there was no attempt to hit at
the federal grades for butter but
merely as to certain state regu
lations, foremost of which, he
said, was one providing that but
ter must have "'a pleasing fla
vor." This, he indicated, was an
unreasonable ruling as what
might be pleasing flavor to one
man could be very distasteful to
another.
The complaint declares that
issuance of the grades is an at
tempt by an administrative body
to exercise legislative functions,
that the rules and regulations
are unconstitutional and void in
the absence of any legislation
on which the rules are based or
adopted and are entirely based
on the caprice and whim of the
administrative body adopting
them and are void because they
allegedly are unreasonable.
The complaint avers that the
plaintiff is organized by mem
bers engaged in the manufac
ture, sale and distribution of
butter and other dairy products
in Oregon to promote and legal
ize regular trade and commerce
in the independent creamery in
dustry, to bring about closer
association among its members
to protect their interests and to
enlighten the public concerning
problems confronting the indus
try.
It alleges that unless the di
rector is enjoined from enforc
ing his regulations he will at
tempt to cancel the licenses of
members of the organization not
complying with the regulations
and will have criminal com
plaints made against such mem
bers to their irreparable damage
ano injury.
