Protest Removal of UAL
Substituting of West Coast Airline service in Salem lor that
of United Airlines will have an effect on both the business and
farming people of the Salem area.
That was what the U. S. House of Representatives was told
this week by Oregon's Representative Walter Norblad, who in
the nation's capital is opposlngA-
the change proposed in late June
by the CAB, which plans a Hear
ing on the matter later.
Norblad. stating that the pro
posed cancellation of United
service in Salem would work
a hardship, not only on the
community but the surrounding
territory to substantiate his re-
his remark used the capital
Journal editorial of July 7
titled "Salem Needs an Explan
ation."
The editorial, showing the af-
Klansman on
Probing Jury
Birmingham, Ala., July 16 VP)
The grand jury investigating
hooded terrorists has asked for
a close check of Its own mem
bers after learning that one jur
or is a former Ku Klux Klans
man.
The jury asked that each
member be examined for possi
ble disqualification. The request
was made to Circuit Judge
George Lewis Balles, who told
the grand jury yesterday that a
former Klansman was among
the jurors.
Judge Bailes said the juror,
Alexander Brewis of Garden
dale, Ala., has been excused
from considering any case which
might affect the Klan
Brewis declined to discuss
whether he is a member of the
Klan with - newsmen. "I Just
don't want to talk about It," he
said.
Judge Bailes charged the jury
Monday to look into "this busi
ness of night riders taking peo
ple out . . . and whipping them."
Hooded night riders have
been active in the Birmingham
area recently.
The judge did not mention the
Klan by name, but a top-ranking
Klansman was among the
first witnesses called before the
jury. He ia William Hugh Mor
ris, Birmingham roofing con
tractor,, who Is director of the
federated Ku Klux. Klan, Inc.
Cow Bell Disturbs
Fairmount
Fairmount Hill residents
along with Salem police were
pondering possible action to still
the clear, sharp jangling of a
cow bell which has tolled at re
gular intervals during recent
nights.
Residents have related that
the ringing usually punctuates
15 or 20 minute periods of si
lence all night long. The ring
ing, combined with high temper
atures which required the neigh
borhood to open windows, ac
centuated the problem.
A wary patrolman spent an
hour and a half in the wee hours
of Saturday morning waiting for
the bell to toll for him too, but
he had no success. He corralcd
no cattle, made no arrests, but
he did give sleepy-eyed hill top
pers a respite from the ringing.
William Wesley
Found Unconscious
William Wesley, who lives
alone on Claxtar road, about a
mile west of Highway 89E south
of Salem, was found uncon
scious in his bathroom Saturday
noon.
Wesley is believed to have
been unconscious for two or
three days. He was tu-kon by the
first aid car to Salem General
hospital and his condition is be
lieved to be serious.
The man had been missed by
neighbors. Friday they forced
their way into the house, and
Informed authorities when they
found him lying in the bath
room. He is believed to have
suffered an attack of illness.
Wesley is past middle age.
Sleepers
feet that discontinuance of UAL
service would have on mer
chants and business firms, as
well as bulb-growers, turkey
growers and other firms in the
surrounding area, with the rep
resentative's comments on the
discontinuance of the service
was recorded in the congress
sional record of July 11.
While Rep. Norblad continues
his protests to the CAB in the
nation's capital, in Salem busi
ness concerns and individuals
using the United service are
continuing their protest locally
In a letter to the Salem Cham
ber of Commerce Paulus Bros.
Packing company voiced it ob
lections to the proposed substi
tution of West Coast Airline
service for that of UAL.
The letter signed by William
H. Paulus, vice president, stated
that the writer was intensely
interested in the CAB proposal
then added:
"In the first place. Instead of
taking the United Air Lines out
of here and putting a feeder
service in here, an effort should
be made to increase the UAL
service out of Salem, by virtue
of stopping some of the DC4s
or DC8s in Salem, which would
give rapid transportation to San
Francisco or Los Angeles and
make faster connections with
some .of the eastbound planes out
of both of these places."
Paulus then commented that
he considered his firm was one
of the largest users of air travel
in this vlcinitv. with three of
their organizations having over
300,000 miles each of air travel
credited to them bv airlines
which much of this originating
in Salem.
The firm, he continued, also
made numerous shipments of
samples by air express to all
points In the United States. He
then pointed out that they felt
a feeder line service on express
shipments would slow up the
matter of making . connections
with eastbound planes and elim
inate the value of using air ex
press, which the firm finds in
valuable because of time saved
in getting samples to buyers for
their approval before consumat
ing orders or making shipments.
Concluding, Paulus pointed to
the fast growth of Salem and
suggested that Instead Of feed
ers' service the city was entitled
to improved service, saying that
on two occasions his firm had
approached United Air Lines
with the suggestion that United
provide a service to Salem al
lowing for better connections
with flights out of Portland and
San Francisco. Instead of a long
delay between planes in those
cities.

No heat wave is in prospect,
but temperatures started climb
ing toward the 90 degree mark
over the central states today.
The hot weather moved into
the northern plains and north

were higher readings west of
Montana.
- In Silver Lake, Calif., in the
dessert, the top was a sizzling
120; 107 at Phoenix, Ariz., 104
at Boise, Ida., and 103 at Fres
no, Calif. Spokane, Wash., re
ported a reading of 100, but
cooler air moved into the Pacif
ic northwest today. It was ex
pected to move eastward and ex
tend over most of the midwest
by Monday.
There were several wet spots
across the country. Showers fell
in the middle Atlantic and Gulf

New England states and parts of
New York state. Rain also fell

Tafl Warns on
Huge Spending
Columbus, O., July 18 WV
Presldent Truman's program of
huge government spending is
leading the United States into a
totalitarian state, Senator Rob
ert A. Taft declared last night.
Mr. Truman, the republican
quarterback asserted, apparent
ly has little regard for revenue
provided by the people and the
necessity of cutting government
spending.
"Any president except one ob
sessed with the panacea of gov
ernment spending would have
cut his budget to meet the rev
enue provided by the people,"
Taft charged.
The Ohio republican spoke to
the nation in a radio address
over the Mutual network from
Columbus. His talk was a re
ply to the president's "fireside
chat" Wednesday.
"Huge government spending
has !ium the beginning been one
of che essential features of Mr
Truman's program to follow the
labor socialized government of
England into a totalitarian state,
directing the lives and activities
of its citizens," Taft declared.
"It is complete nonsense to
say that the government cannot
cut its expenses. There is not a
bureau in Washington which
couldn't cut ten per cent of its
personnel and be more efficient
"An average ten per cent re
duction would balance the bud
get."
Taft warned that our economv
could be seriously endangered
by an increase in taxes.
'We have reached a point
where increased taxation will
prevent the very prosperity nec
essary to produce the taxes,'
he asserted.

a passion for anonymity arrang
ed for the burial of a 7-year-old
hero today.
It was Thursday when 7-year-
old Jacob Charles Sumners, one
of the six children of transient
berry pickers, heard a little boy
yell that his foot was caught in
rocks of the Sandy river.
Little Jacob, wading on the
other side, started splashing
across the river to help. The
mid-stream current caught him.
The body was restored to the
dazed parents, who had stopped
their trailer on the Sandy banks
to let their children cool off.
The family had just $25.
"I don't know what we'll do,"
said Mrs. Joe Sumners next day.
"Wed like to bury him In the
family plot near Sedalia, Mo. I
hate to leave him alone out
here."

"The Judge Steps Out"
Last night a sport-shirted man
in his mld-thlrtles strode into the
police station and ordered a re
porter: "Find out what it costs to
send the kid back home."
Oregon Journal Reporter Jack
Ostergren, who was working; on
something completely different,
blinked.
The man jabbed a finger at
the newspaper story telling
about the destitute family. "Find
out what it costs," he demanded.
When people are in trouble,
someone's got to help them."
Reporter Ostergren called up
the mortuary. The trip to Se
dalia for the body and an es
cort would be $225.53.
The man grabbed out a check
book, signed his name, and threw
it down. "You fill out the am
ount," he said. "Just leave me
out of this." He started out. The
check was good,

London, Sunday, July 17 U.R)
Sir Stafford Cripps, chancel

a nursing home in Switzerland
next week for six weeks of med
ical treatment, the government
announced today.
Prime Minister Clement Att
lee announced Cripps' plans in
the midst of Britain's worst fi

meant that Cripps would aban
don temporarily his search for
a solution of the crisis.
Government officials took spe
ciay precautions to guard against
what they called "sensational
and unwarranted speculation"
about the announcement. Offi
cials insisted that there was
nothing "ulterior" about it.
Cripps has been under severe
criticism for his policies. Abroad
he has been pressed to devalue

Unemployment
Acute Problem
Washington, July 18 (U.B Em
ployment Security Director Rob
ert C. Goodwin reported today
that unemployment has become
"an acute problem" In many ar
eas of the United States.
In almost half the nation's
largest production centers he
said, 7 percent of the working
force was unemployed in mid
May. In some areas the total
jobless reach 23 percent.
However, he said, many areas
expect work to pick up some
what by early fall.
Goodwin's report was based
on a survey of the unemploy
ment picture by his bureau and
state employment security agen
cies. Results of the study, he
said, are being studied by all
federal agencies whose activities
"directly or indirectly affect em
polyment or unemployment con
ditions." The survey showed that New
England was hardest hit by un
employment, with five areas re
porting a jobless rate of 12 per
cent or more.
he has borne the brunt of crlti- i
cism for Britain's recunentJ
crisis and continuing austerity.
