the department of commerce.
This information was received
Monday by City Manager J. L.
Franzen in a communique from
the department of commerce.
The letter stated that the de
partment's chief of the field par
,.iy would arrive in Oregon's cap-
ital city about August IS to start

The survey, which will have
a bearing on not only the H fa'
cility for Salem but the complete
instrument landing system,
one of several being undertaken
by the bureau and required for
their revision survey of ap
proaches and instrument land'
ings of airports in the United
States.
Inadequate landing aids at Mc-
Nary field for bad weather have
long drawn protests from pilots
of United Air Lines planes stop
ping here. The matter was
drawn to the attention of the
city and the CAA by Jim Mat
thews, UAL assistant flight man
ager for this area, at a meeting
of local operators and UAL rep
resentatives with Stanley W. Dil-
atush, chief controller, and oth
er control tower operators Feb
ruary 28, when the CAA tower

complete check for unlicensed
dogs in the city limits.
Incidentally under a new law
recently going into effect it is
mandatory hereafter that the
dog license tag issued with the
license be affixed to the collar
of the dog at all times that it is
not in the Immediate company
of its master. Failure to observe
this new regulation calls for a
$10 fine, as does failure to have
a licensee for the dog.
Heretofore while the tags were
issued in connection with the li
cense it was merely as a con
venience and such tags were
not required to be attached to
the collar and the only evidence
necessary was the possession of
the license.
In cases of lost tags County
Clerk Harlan Judd states that
in the next few days he expects
to have replacement for such
tags as he has been advised of a
shipment of a lot of such tags
from Chicago only recently
These are blanks and numbers
will be stamped on them at the

numbers on the lost tags. A fee
of 25 cents will be imposed to

Will End Hawaiian Strike
Washington, July 18 Harry Bridges, head of the striking
Longshoremen in Hawaii, told the senate labor committee today
that the union will end its crippling shutdown of island ports if
President Truman will appoint an arbitration board.

of sugar, pineapples ana otner
commodities depend, have been
closed down by a 79-day strike

shoremen's and Warehousemen's
Union.
James P. Blaisdell. attorney
for seven Hawaiian stevedoring
companies, told the committee
.that Bridges is fighting for es
' tablishment of the principle of
arbitration.
If that is won by the union,
the attorney said, "collective
bargaining is done in Hawaii."
"You have to realize the com
plete domintaion of the territory
of Hawaii bv Mr. Bridges'
union," Blaisdell testified. He

Factfinders
Start on Steel
Washington, July 18 P)-
-The
fact-finding board in the steel
wage dispute organized today at
a White House meeting.
As they did so. the White
House made public a letter from
Samuel I. Rosenman, one of its
members, and a former special
counsel to President Truman.
Rosenman wanted it to be
made a matter of record that
his New York City law firm is
counsel to the Rotary Electric
Steel company of Detroit.
One of his law partners is a
director of the company which
has a contract with a local of
the CIO United Steel Workers
Rosenman said he had brought
this to the attention of Cyrus
Ching federal mediation and
conciliation director, when he
was asked to serve on the
board. V
Mr. Ching stated that, in his
opinion, those facts aid not in
any way constitute a disqual
fieation," Rosenman's letter to
the president said. "I. neverthe
less, requested him to bring
them to your attention before
you made the appointment, and
he stated that he would."
The three boardmembers met
with Presidential Assistant John
R. Steelman to discuss such
things as a schedule of hearings.
Legal Liquor on
Sale in Kansas
Topeka, Kas.. July 18 Wi Li
quor will go on sale legally in
Kansas this week.
It will mark the end of an
era of colorful crusading and
multi-million dollar bootlegging
business in this long-time strong
hold of prohibition.
For almost 70 years the sale
of liquor has been banned in
Kansas by the state constitution.
And for 32 years the state bone
dry law made possession of so
much as a thimbleful of liquor
punishable by a jail sentence.
But, last November, Kansans
voted 422.294 to 358,310 to re
peal prohibition.
After a two months' struggle.
mainly to retain local option, the
legislature passed a liquor con
trol act. It wiped the bone dry
law from the statute books.
Then followed four months of
feverish work to establish a con
trol and licensing setup.
Late today, the state liquor
control office will mail out li
censes for more than 260 priv
ately owned stores to retail li
quor or high percent beer. Beer
of less than 3.2 percent alcohol

Barnes Home to
Be Wrecked
Another of the several large
residences that Salem folk built
in the early 1890s and have since
remained as monuments to stur
dy workmanship that went into
them, is soon to disappear. It is
the nine room house at Chemek
eta and Capitol streets occupied
by the E. T. Barnes family for
approximately 40 years and
which is one of a number to be
wrecked or moved to give way
to the new state highway build
ing.
The residence of two full stor
ies and a huge attic over a full
basement with stone walls, was
built around 1890 by W. W. Mar-
tim, a jeweler and an uncle of
Mrs. J. H. Scott. The highway
commission is now . advertising
its sale, eitner tor removal or
wrecking. Due to its extreme
size it is doubtful if it could be
moved at anything like reasona
ble cost.
The Barnes family occupied
the residence from 1906 to 1946
when it was sold to the state.
Many of the trees that dot the
tract of a half acre were planted
by Mrs. Barnes and their two
children, Ralph and Ruth. The
redwood which has become a
large tree was first planted in
the Capitol street parking. It
became a traffic hazard and then
was moved back on the lot pro
per at a cost of $20.
The two chestnut trees grew
from nuts brought here from
Ohio and were planted by the
Barnes children. The English
walnut trees along the alley are
the results of grafts to black wal
nut stock planted before the
property was acquired by
Barnes.
In addition to the Barnes res
idence, the commission is also

Vaughan, White House aide.
A member of the house armed

comment on Shafer's demand.
"I haven't heard the presi
dent mention it," Ayers said.

Robinson Says
Robeson Silly
Washington, July 18 W)
Jackie Robinson said today that
if singer Paul Robeson "wants to
sound silly" in public, "that's his
business."
The Brooklyn Dodgers' slender
second baseman, first Negro to
break into the major leagues,
told the house un-American ac
tivities committee that Negro
Americans would fight for this
country "against Russia or any
other enemy.'
He was the last witness called
by the committee to refute a re
cent statement by Robeson, once
famous athlete himself, that
Negroes in the United States
would not fight in a war against
Russia.
The committee's small hearing
room was packed when Robin
son and his attractive wife ar
rived, and a loud "amen" came
from somewhere in the crowd
when he finished -reading a long
prepared statement,
The baseball star said he never
has had time to become an ex
pert on anything "except base
stealing or something like that
but that he appeared out of a
sense of responsibility. He said
there has been "a terrific lot of
misunderstanding" about com
munist influence among Negroes
"and it's bound to hurt my peo
pies' cause unless it's cleared
up."
Robinson said any Negro
"worth his salt" is going to re
sent "any kind of slurs and dis
crimination" because of his race.

Jet Airplanes
Moscow, July 18 (P) Russia
celebrated Aviation day yester
day by showing off four new
planes officially described as
"superspeed jet aircraft."
Foreign observers, high Sovi
et leaders and the general pub
lic watched hundreds of fight
ers and bombers streak across
the sky in an impressive display
of Soviet air might.
One foreign air attache said
the new jets "seemed extraordi
narily fast."
Among the watchers were U.
S. Ambassador Admiral Alan G.
Kirk and other diplomats, with
their military, naval and air at
taches. Rear Admiral Leslie C. Stev
ens, U.S. naval and air attache,
said it was "a very interesting
show. Especially noteworthy was
the fact that it was restricted
completely to modern aircraft.
There were absolutely no obso
lescent types.
As usual, the formation and
acrobatic flying was magnifi
cent."
Prime Minister Stalin, who
appeared in good health and
spirits, watched from the club
house veranda at Tushino air
