Courts Limited in
Releasing Employes
County courts can't eliminate
any employos whose salaries are
fixed by law, Atiorney General
George Neuncr ruled today.
The opinion was for Gilliam
County District Attorney Wil
liam Bennett, who asked if Gil
liam county could eliminate ap
propriations for the county
health nurse and, the county veterinarian.
Neuner said it was all right
to eliminate the nurse's salary,
because it isn't required by law.
But the veterinarian's salary has
to be restored because the law
requires it.

Stories of Prisoners
Told by Murray

barber" who was a former ten-
nant at the Oreson state peni
tentiary upw ripfailpri TuosHav
fpr members of the Salem Jun
ior unanjoer of Commerce by
Joe Murray, Identification ex
pert of the institution.
Murray, in a talk on the pris
on, explained various functions
of the state penal system and
highlighted his remarks with a
tale of a slick-toneued English
man who ran off with a niece
of a parole board official and
paid for a tour of the country
with bogus checks prior to sen
tencing again in Washington
state.
The identification exoert said
that doctors had found prison

on the outside because of their
regular hours and habits while

Few Complaints on
er Bus Fares
The recent increase in fare to
a flat rate of 10 cents has not
been in operation a sufficient
length of time to determine Its
effect upon the economy of the
company, reported Robert J.
Davidson, local manager for
City Transit Lines Tuesday. The
increase, granted by the public
utilities commission became ef
fective July 14.
Davidson reports few com
plaints have been received at
his office over the service now
being provided in Salem al
though Mayor Robert L. Elf-
strom said phone calls in this
connection have reached him on
an average of two per day. Most
of the complaints are based on
alleged failure of the buses to
keep on schedule. This may be
due, Davidson believes, to a re
cent change in schedules of two
lines.

Raps Catholics
Prague, July 19 VP) Prague's
communist press today accused
the Vatican and Czechoslovakia's
Roman Catholic bishops of "or
ganizing an illegal network of
communications" to promote an-j
tl-government resistance in this
country.
The charges were made in
joint editorial broadsides by
Rude Pravo, official party or
gan, and Mlada ironta, newspa
per of the Communist Youth.
Rude Pravo called the Vati
can a "cruel enemy of Czechs
and Slovaks." It denounced
Archbishop Josef Beran of Pra
gue and his bishops as paid ag
ents of the Vatican in "plotting
to disrupt the nation."
The trade union daily, Prace,
mouthpiece of Communist Pre
mier Antonin Zajotocky, added
that the Vatican's order for ex
communication of militant com-
the federal bureau of investiga
tion had been summoned by
prison authorities to investigate
the case.

The ministry of justice has
threatened to prosecute such ex

The communist newspapers in
dicated they believed the "ille

through which bishops 'and
priests have been disseminating
pastoral letters and other church
resolutions which charged the
government with persecution.
They charged that such letters
were "illegal publications."
