Another chapter in the fantastic story of Richard Roy (Dick

District Attorney E. O. Stadter, Jr., prepared to investigate a
possible plot of the used car dealer to break jail.
Carter, who has been under lock and key in Marion county

to the delinquency of a minor,
was brought in handcuffs to
court to be sentenced on a
charge of larceny. He pleaded
guilty to the theft of a stove last
month.
Before Judge Joseph B. Fel

to the county jail on the larceny
charge, Carter's attorney re

1700 More Television
Stations to Be Allowed
AP Special WasblnKton Service)
Washington, July 15 UP) Some 1,700 more television stations
maye be built in the future in nearly 1,200 cities and towns not
previously allocated broadcast
If new proposals of the federal communications commission
are approved Oregon would have
broadcast channels. '
The communications commis
sion's proposed regulations to
add 42 new television channels
to the existing 12 would permit
the expansion.
FCC officials said the present
dozen channels can only accom
modate 543 stations in 221 loca
tions. Under the new program
there would be about 2245 sta
tions in 1400 cities and towns.
The commission's proposals
are subject to public hearing
August 29, with formal action
planned if possible by the end of
the year. The following list
shows allocations to Oregon un
der the proposed change.
Locations which would be cov
ered in the very high frequen
cies (the 12 channels now in
use) and the channel numbers
are:
Klamath Falls, 2, 4; La
Grande, 3, 13; Medford, 5, 7;
Portland, S, 6, 8, lu, 12.
Among the locations and chan
nel numbers for the new ultra
high frequencies would be Alba
ny, 25; Corvallis, 23; McMinn
ville, 44; and Salem, 32, 34.
In Salem Glenn McCormick of
KSLM predicted that for this
area television is at least a few
years in the distance, though
the new tower for that station
is equipped to handle television
when it comes.
McCormick estimated that it
would be about two years before
Portland stations have television
and felt that it would be some
time later before it would be
available in the Salem area.
1200 Navy Reserves Coming
Some 1,200 Portland area men

and pointed out that the theft
charge was "only a small seg
ment of the problem."
(In addition to the morals
charge, Carter has cases pend
ing on receiving and conceal
ing stolen property and illegal
operation of a water craft.)
Witnesses in court included
Carter's wife, who was released
from a local hospital to be on
hand for the sentencing, his mo
ther, Mrs. Dorothy Long, of
Richmond, Cat, and his father,
C. R. Carter, of San Francisco.
On the heels of the sentenc
ing, the district attorney disclos
ed that an investigation was un
der way. The investigation came
as the result of a statement se
cured by Salem city detectives
from a prisoner who had at
tempted to buy a gun in Salem
James Franklin Davis, who is
being held in lieu of $100 in
fines on disorderly conduct and
reckless driving, apparently in
dicated that he had been endea
voring to purchase a gun for
Carter. It was presumed that
plot to break the Marion coun
ty jail had been nipped with the
arrest of Davis, an employe of
Carter s used car business.
Meanwhile, further question
ing of principals in the case and
associates of Carter continued,
xnursaay, detectives took a
team of city prisoners to the
South 12th street car lot and

attempt to locate an outboard

They secured an electric pow
ered buffer which was reported
to have been stolen from "some
place in California." In addition
to seeking the true owner of the
buffer, police are also endeavor

gallon tank which Carter has
verbally confessed to stealing.
He claimed no recollection of
from where the materials had
been taken.

Miller Appeals
For Case Review
Dr. Horace G. Miller, psychi
atrist at the Oregon state hospi
tal who was fired July 6 for in
subordination, asked tie state ci
vil service commission today to
review his case.
The hearing probably will be
held within two weeks.
When Dr. Miller filed his ap
peal today, he issued a statement
to the press blasting William Ry
an, state coordinator of institu
tions. He charged that Ryan is op
posed to sound psychiatric prin
ciples, and accused Ryan of giv
ing "distorted and misleading
information" to the board of
control.
Ryan didn't answer Dr. Mil
ler's statement.
"Anything I have to say will
be before the civil service com
mission," Ryan said.
Dr. Miller was dismissed by
Dr. C. E. Bates, superintendent
of the hospital.
Steel Strike
(Continued from Page 1)
"Our views are unchanged
with respect to the propriety of
the action. We feel we are be
ing compelled to follow in order
to avoid a strike. We still be
lieve that the question of whe
ther this nation is to have :
fourth round of wage increases
or other increased employment
costs at this time should not be
determined on the basis of the
president's plan.
In a telegram to Mr. Truman
Benjamin F. Fairless, president
of U. S. Steel, said his compa
ny still questioned the propri
ety of Mr. Truman's proposal
since it was not taken under the
Taft-Hartley act.
"We feel we are being corn-
compelled to follow in order
to avoid a strike," Fairless de
clared. But, he said:
"We do not wish, if it can pos
sibly be avoided, to have our
production of steel stopped, and
our employes deprived of the
opportunity to work for the next
60 days under the terms of our
present labor contracts, with at
tendant hardship to the commu
nities in which they reside."

about or taking part in 44 murders during his cross-country
roaming, was hanged for the axA
murder of Mrs. Bertha Kludt in
Tacoma, Wash., on Oct. 30, 1947.
Mrs. Kludt and her daughter,
Beverly, were fatally knifed and
bludgeoned when they caught
Bird prowling their home.
The canny Negro had managed
to postpone three previous walks
to the gallows.
He died with an apparent per
sonal fortune of $6.15 which he
willed to his attorney, Murray
Taggart of Walla Walla. But
during his final days, Bird talk
ed of a "little black box," con
taining the loot from his bur
glaries. He said it was in the
possession of a friend in Los An
geles, but the identity of the
friend was not disclosed.
Bird walked from his gallows
level cell to the noose with out
ward calm and needed only
slight support from two guards
who accompanied him. He said
nothing to the crowd of more
than 100 spectators, but made an
unintelligible remark to one of
the guards.
The Rev. Arvid Ohrnell, who
has been Bird's spiritual adviser
during the ffnal days, read a
note written by the condemned
man, declaring he bore no malice
to anyone and sought forgive
ness. Before the minister had
finished reading the trap was!
sprung.
Fourteen minutes later, Dr.
Elmer Hill, prison physician,
pronounced the burly slayer
dead.
Sewage Disposal
(Continued from Page 1)
It is possible, the report says,
that a separate industrial sew
er will be needed to keep indus
trial waste separate from dom
estic sewage until after the for
mer has been given some pre
treatment. The proposed plan for extend
ing and adding new sanitary
sewers calls for (1) an intercep
tor sewer on Clark street which
would discharge into a pumping
ctofirtn noni iha IntprsPftinn nf
Clark and Edgewater, (2) a I
lower main following the foot
of the bluff from the interceptor
on Clark to near the intersec
tion of Piedmont avenue and
Altmont lane, (3) a high-level
main from the interceptor on
Clark up Glen Creek road about
half way to Cascade drive,
where it would leave the road
and follow the top of the bluff.
"A 12-inch sewer line should
be installed intercepting the
existing 12-inch line between
Edgewater street and the riv
er and running parallel with
Edgewater street over to the
proposed pumping station," says
the report.
The total cost of all these ex
tensions is estimated at $102,-
035, or interceptor sewer, $8000;
Clark street interceptor, $17,-
335; high level main, $43,800;
low level main, $35,500. It is
not contemplated that all be in
stalled at once.
Relative to sewage treatment
the report says there are two
possibilities for West Salem,
They are (1) construction of
sewage treatment facilities at
West Salem, (2) installing a
pressure sewer line across the
Willamette and discharging the
sewage into the sanitary sew
er system of Salem, and provid
ing additional capacity in the
Salem plant to treat the sewage
from West Salem.
The report goes at length into
treatment of industrial wastes, a
problem in West Salem because
of its canneries and factories
The engineers are of the opinion
that wastes from fruit and
vegetable canneries can be most
economically treated by means
of pre-treatment.
construction cost of sewage
treatment facilities for West Sa
lem are estimated at a total of
$174,181 for facilities construct
ed all on that side of the river.
For the Salem hook-up by instal
ling a pressure line across the
river, a total estimate is not
made. But by items some of the
comparisons are:
Pumping station: West Salem
plant, $22,344; Salem plant, $27
244. Plant construction: West
Salem plant, $94,627; Salem
plant, $52,860. Plant outfall:
West Salem plant, $3900; Salem
plant, nothing. Pressure line to
Salem under the Salem connec
tion, $33,338"; industrial treat
ment plant under the West Sa
lem plan, $53,310.
An estimate of annual costs of
operation of a sewage treatment
plant is: West Salem plant with
out Industrial load, $16,995;
West Salem plant with industrial
load, $21,325; Salem plant con
nection, without industrial load,
$16,285.
In event of a pressure line
across the river to Salem the re
port says "it appears that the
sewage would need to be dis
charged into the interceptor run
ning north on Church street.
From the location of the pro
posed pumping station in West
Salem, it is evident a river cross
ing on or near the highway
bridge and up Center street to
Church street would be the
shortest route."

City Water
(Continued from Page 1)
the parties in that adjudication
were parties in this suit, and the
city of Salem had not contested
the correctness of the findings
in the adjudication oi water
rights on the river.
"The questions in this case,"
said the court, "were determin
ed in that adjudication. Those
proceedings are binding on the
city of Salem and the plaintiff
in the case is entitled to a de
cree without costs to eitner
party."
It was made plain by the
court that his decision enjoin
ing the city applied only to the
intake valve where the city
takes water directly from the
river.
Incidentally, it was pointed
out if the water to which the
Bennett and Salem city power
interests are entitled under the
adjudication are not needed at
any time, it is a different mat
ter, and that those interests can
not waste their water. Bennett
has denied there has been any
waste and that he needs all the
water assigned to him for his
'Stayton power and water utili
ties.
